Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 347 The future of the Walled City

The scene flashes back to the protagonist's childhood.

In the green field, Xiao Wu lay on the elephant's teeth and fell asleep holding the elephant's trunk...

"We regard elephants as brothers and relatives. We love peace and oppose anyone harming elephants..."

With Yang Ye's affectionate narration, the scene returned to the restaurant. Yang Ye was lying on the ivory and moved with difficulty. He was not dead!
……

On the banks of the Lancang River, Yuxiang wore a beautiful dress and danced the peacock dance.

"Who calls softly, in the sky, in the clouds, let me imagine day and night, and come back to you in my dreams. To the south of the colorful clouds, in the direction of my heart, the peacock flies away, and the memories are long..."

In the melodious singing, her figure was elegant and agile, which made the movie theater audience mesmerized!
Suddenly, a sound like a bell came from outside the screen.

"Jingle Bell……"

Yuxiang turned her head beautifully, with a bright smile on her face.

On the country road covered with green grass, A Tian and Xiao Kang were walking towards her.

……

"Clap clap clap..."

The whole audience applauded, it was such a wonderful game.

The punches hit the flesh, they are so ferocious and cruel that the blood of those watching is boiling.

And the existence of Yang Liping injects a touch of tenderness into this hormonal masculinity.

Amid warm applause, Yang Ye returned to the stage with a group of creators and began to answer questions from the audience.

Off the stage, Chen Long exhaled a breath and exchanged glances with Hong Jingbao beside him.

As professional action movie actors, they are naturally constantly analyzing the actions in the movie when watching the movie.

Chen Long asked: "What do you think?"

Hong Jingbao said: "The fighting was so fierce, especially the last high fist versus Muay Thai, which vividly displayed the power and skills of martial arts. Relatively speaking, our previous martial arts moves were quite inferior."

Chen Long said: "We are all from the theater troupe. When designing movements, the first factor is that the fight must look good. I have never thought of using ferocity as a selling point."

Hong Jingbao sighed: "Young Shao is really a dictionary of kung fu. I have never heard of a fist that is as strong as Muay Thai."

Li Lianjie, who was sitting in the row behind them, explained: "Actually, Aung Kwon is ancient Muay Thai, and the two are inherited. It's just that Muay Thai was promoted by the Thais, while Aung Kwon was not taken seriously by us Chinese, and it gradually declined."

Hong Jingbao said: "That's it!"

Yuan Biao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Mr. Yang's action style just has no style. He has been exploring the boundaries of action movies and exploring the possibilities of action movies. And what he taught us is just one of them."

Hong Jingbao nodded and said: "Yes, for example, Aaron's humorous style and Ajie's martial arts route were actually designed by Young Master based on your own conditions. Of course, Aaron, you later designed it yourself With the addition of elements of thrilling stunts, it becomes a genre of its own.”

A few of them were discussing quietly, and Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner also started chatting next door.

Tom Cruise said: "Paula, I think I've found a way to get rid of the bad-ass actor label."

Paula said: "You mean... kung fu?"

Tom said: "Yes, I hope to star in action movies and show off my own action stunts!"

Although Tom Cruise starred in two "Shanghai Noon" movies with Chen Long, he played a funny western cowboy. He didn't fight much, and all the action scenes were on Chen Long.

Paula asked: "What are you going to do?"

"First, of course, is to learn kung fu. Jack told me that Nick is proficient in all kinds of kung fu and is a living dictionary of kung fu. I have watched every one of his movies, and he really deserves this title."

"Tom, to be honest, I rarely watch action movies like this, but today's movie is really shocking. If you want to learn kung fu from Nick, I think it's a good idea!"

"Paula, do you think so too?"

"Nick is a kung fu master and a film master. He is also a shareholder of United Artists Pictures. If you can establish a relationship with him, it will be of great benefit to your career. In fact, I have wanted to communicate with him for a long time, but unfortunately he is older. I spent part of my time in Asia, so I never had the opportunity!”

"Then do you think he will teach me?"

"He will. He chose you to star in "Shanghai Noon" because he liked you!"

"how do you know?"

"Although I can't see Nick, I can see Isabel. Isabel told me. Do you know whose child Isabel belongs to?"

"Could it be..." Tom Cruise was shocked.

"Isabel and I are best friends now!" Paula said proudly.

“Paula, I’m so lucky to have you, thank God for giving you to me!”

"Me too, Tom! Thank God!"

Several people were chatting when Deborah suddenly said on the stage: "Why don't you see Miss Yang?"

Only then did everyone realize that Yang Liping did not come on stage. Yang Ye explained: "She went to prepare! The audience who came today are very lucky to see a national-level dance master perform the beautiful peacock dance for everyone in person. Everyone is welcome!"

Yang Liping's dance performance in the movie just now amazed everyone. Unfortunately, it was too short. The two dances totaled less than two minutes, which was not very enjoyable.

Now that I heard that this beauty was going to perform on stage, I immediately burst into warm applause.

Yang Ye and others left amidst applause and handed the stage to Yang Liping.

In the gentle music, Yang Liping gradually appeared. Her long dress was as white as snow. From a distance, she looked like a noble and elegant peacock!

During this period, Yang Liping had not yet created "The Spirit of the Bird" and danced the ordinary Dai peacock dance.

Her movements are light and dexterous, and her arms tremble softly and bonelessly, simulating a peacock "standing upright in the wind", "jumping and spinning", and "flying", all of which are lifelike and bring people into a realm of illusion and reality.

People chased her elegant and moving figure, and for a moment, they even forgot to breathe.

Unfortunately, this dance lasted only a few minutes. The music stopped and the peacock finally stopped its gorgeous dance and froze in place.

The audience present couldn't help but sigh. After enjoying this dreamy dance today, they don't know when they will see it again.

The lights came on, and amid a burst of warm applause, Yang Liping bowed and thanked, and Yang Ye and Deborah returned to the stage.

Huang Zhan stood up in the audience and wanted to speak. Yang Ye quickly said: "Give Uncle Zhan a microphone!"

Huang Zhan took the phone and asked eagerly: "Do I have a chance to see this dance again?"

Yang Ye asked: "What will happen if I can't see?"

"Life is no longer fun!"

Yang Ye was amused and said with a smile: "Isn't that too exaggerated?"

Huang Zhan said: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Miss Yang, when will you be free? I, Huang Zhan, would like to treat you to dinner and discuss the art of dance together!"

"Yeah!" Yang Liping opened her mouth in surprise. Isn't this too direct for Hong Kong people?
Yang Ye said: "Uncle Zhan, although Dame Lin is not here today, today's premiere will be broadcast on the TV station!"

Huang Zhan said confidently: "I just want to discuss the art of dance with this Miss Yang, is this not okay?"

Yang Ye was too lazy to pay attention to him and said: "The venue today is relatively simple, so Miss Yang just danced casually. Our Hongren Entertainment Company plans to invite Miss Yang to hold a dance party in Hong Kong, where everyone can see more exciting performances !”

Good guy, after all this fuss, this guy is just advertising!

..."She is not a human, she is a fairy!"

Huang Zhan enthusiastically published a film review about "The Fighter" in his column.

It was said to be a film review of "Boxer", but it turned out that these two words were the only ones mentioned in "Boxer", and the rest were all about Yang Liping.

"Yesterday I was invited to attend the premiere of Yang Ye's "Boxing Fighter". I have forgotten the movie. I only remember the dreamy peacock dance, which was both real and fake, real and imaginary. When I woke up, the graceful The dance is still lingering in my mind, and I can’t get rid of it..."

After Yang Ye read Huang Zhan's film review, he couldn't laugh or cry. He threw the newspaper away.
He threw the newspaper away and said to Zhang Guoqing, an official of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office who was sitting opposite him and drinking tea: "Secretary Zhang, with the release of "Boxing Fighter", Comrade Yang Liping will definitely become famous. At this time, she will come to Hong Kong to hold a dance party. , it will definitely bring the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong closer, don’t you think?”

Zhang Guoqing smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, I know your heart for the party and the people! If you have requests and ideas, you can raise them directly!"

Yang Ye chuckled and said: "I heard that I took British Foreign Minister He Wei to the capital. The matter of Hong Kong's return will be settled soon, right?"

Zhang Guoqing said: "Yes, we have been talking for almost two years. It is not easy!"

Yang Ye said: "After the two countries reach an agreement, is there no need for the Kowloon Walled City to exist?"

Zhang Guoqing suddenly realized and said: "So you are here for this! To be honest, Kowloon Walled City is a hotbed of crime. To demolish it is what the people want, right?"

Yang Ye curled his lips and said: "The British Hong Kong government demolished it, and the people's hearts are also those of the British. What does it have to do with you?"

Zhang Guoqing's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"

"I hope the Kowloon Walled City can be preserved. If it must be demolished, we can wait for the SAR government to demolish it."

Zhang Guoqing said strangely: "What is the reason for this?"

Yang Yip said: “After the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in 1974, the British Hong Kong government focused on cracking down on gangs. At present, Hong Kong’s associations are well controlled.

But once the return is settled, Daiying will definitely make money crazily in his last days, and then there will be no time to manage the messy affairs of those societies.

Maybe they will let freedom go, or even add fuel to the flames, causing chaos in Hong Kong and leaving a mess for the country.

Looking at what Daiying has done around the world, every time he withdraws from a place, he will inevitably lay a lot of landmines there. The name of shit-trouble does not come out of thin air. "

Zhang Guoqing nodded and agreed with Yang Ye's statement. He said: "Then leaving Kowloon Walled City can solve the problem of rampant societies?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "No! But I am somewhat famous in Kowloon Walled City. If I retain Kowloon Walled City for the time being, it will leave me a base and give me the capital to fight against the association."

Zhang Guoqing said: "Isn't it good for you to be your big star and big businessman? Why do you want to interfere in the society's affairs?"

Yang Ye said: "I have no interest in the society. I just want to protect my business."

Zhang Guoqing thought for a moment and said, "I understand, I will report it."

Zhang Guoqing is not stupid, he knows what Yang Ye is thinking.

Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are so profitable that they are more profitable than selling flour. This makes many societies very jealous and want to get a piece of the entertainment industry.

It often happens that well-known Hong Kong stars are threatened by associations to make movies, and some people even had ideas about Yang Ye.

However, those people were trying to kill themselves, and Yang Ye didn't pay any attention to them, so his bodyguards secretly took care of them.

Yang Ye relied on the Kowloon Walled City behind him to target the celebrity groups under him, but he didn't get any good juice for the time being!

When the handover matters are settled and the British Hong Kong government begins to herd sheep, this kind of thing will only become more rampant in the future.

At that time, if the walled city was gone, Yang Ye would have lost a minion.

Therefore, Yang Yecai hopes to retain the Kowloon Walled City.

This matter is not difficult. The Kowloon Walled City is Chinese territory. If China does not agree, the Walled City cannot be demolished.

Whenever China wants to dismantle it, it will only happen in minutes.

As long as Zhang Guoqing reports Yang Ye's suggestion, 80% of the time he will agree to it.

Because, since Yang Ye has mobilized the power of Chengzhai, it would be good to leave this team to suppress the Hong Kong associations...

……

After Yang Ye told Zhang Guoqing about the city wall, he went to Ziqi Company to watch the later part of "Female Boxer".

For some of the difficult moves in "Female Boxer", such as fighting back and forth on the outer wall of a building during the final battle, Li Saifeng's body was tied with a safety rope.

Otherwise, once a mistake occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. Of course, the safety rope must be disposed of later.

Yang Ye carefully looked at some of the processed shots and made sure there were no problems, so he sent the film to be developed into a negative, and then added to the original film to make a complete copy.

"Female Boxer" will be released in a month, and the time is still quite urgent, because not only the film needs to be edited and produced, but also the tapes for recording the sound.

The editing method is the same as film, cut it with scissors, and then connect it with transparent glue.

After finishing this matter, Yang Ye set off to the Peninsula Hotel to have lunch with Yang Liping.

Yang Liping still needs to entertain her on her evening flight back to the capital.

I didn't want to but received a call from Paula Wagner: "Hi Nick, when are you free? Tom and I would like to treat you to a meal!"

Yang Ye didn't know when he would be free. Thinking that they were also staying at the Peninsula Hotel, he said, "Let's meet in the Finland Hall of the Peninsula Hotel in half an hour!"

……

Yang Ye drove to the Peninsula Hotel, met Yang Liping first, and said apologetically: "I originally wanted to treat you to a meal alone, but someone happened to invite me to discuss something here, so we had to come together. Don't mind!"

Yang Liping said nonchalantly: "What does it matter? Your business is more important!"

The two of them came to the restaurant together. Paula and Tom had already chosen their seats and were waiting there.

The four of them greeted each other politely, then took their seats and ordered their dishes.

Yang Liping couldn't understand the English menu, so Yang Ye ordered a vegetable salad for her and that was done. She doesn’t eat meat anyway.

"I'll talk to them first!"

"Ok!"

"What do you two want from me?"

Tom and Paula looked at each other, then stood up, toasted Yang Ye with a glass of wine, and then said: "Nick, I want to become your teacher and learn Kung Fu from you!"

Yang Ye smiled secretly in his heart, but had no expression on his face, and asked, "Why do you want to learn Kung Fu from me?"

Tom said: "When I was making a movie with Jack, I thought his kung fu was very cool, but he told me that you are the real kung fu dictionary. I thought, I must learn kung fu from you!"

Yang Ye nodded and said, "So, you also want to be an action actor?"

"That's right! You and Jack, your action movies are so cool. I think those are the kind of movies men should make!"

"What if I say no?"

Tom was stunned, and Paula said seriously: "Nick, you can't. You are very optimistic about Tom, aren't you?"

Yang Ye said: "Why are you so sure?"

Paula said; "Because Tom is the person you chose to partner with Jack, and the movies they collaborated with were indeed successful. I think you must have seen some qualities in Tom!"

Yang Ye said: "Actually, I chose Tom because he is a rare small actor in Hollywood, and it is more convenient to partner with Jack."

Paula and Tom were stunned by these words. The reason was actually as simple as height?
