Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 349 Pretending to be invisible
After Qi Yu received Yang Ye's call, he bought the earliest flight the next day and arrived in Hong Kong in the morning.

"Young Master Yang, Mr. Wu, long time no see!"

Everyone shook hands and exchanged greetings, and Yang Ye said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, I have to ask you to travel all the way."

Qi Yu smiled brightly, revealing two cute dimples, and said: "It doesn't matter, I am happy to be able to leave my voice in your works!"

Yang Ye said: "This piece needs to record an ethereal and distant chant. Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else with such a heavenly voice."

Qi Yu blushed and felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Yang Ye!
"However, I have to explain in advance that this piece of music was composed for a mainland dancer. If the matter is spread by someone who cares about it, it may have some impact on you."

Qi Yu thought for a while and said, "Since it's just a chant, then I can just not sign it. If anyone asks, I won't admit it."

Good guy, people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan are now very good at fooling around.

All in all, as long as everyone can live with it, as long as you don't show up brazenly, the Taiwan authorities will have more trouble than less trouble.

Unless it's like Fang Yihua's criticism, and he makes a cunning operation to report Li Hanxiang!

Yang Ye said: "I never let my friends suffer. I will write you a good song later!"

Qi Yu was happy: "I've been waiting for a long time!"

The musicians were already waiting. Everyone started working again. After adding Qi Yu's ethereal and distant singing, the whole music became perfect!

Finally, Wu Dajiang revised some small details, and Yang Liping danced gracefully again amid the orchestra's beautiful performance and Qi Yu's moving singing.

At the end of the song, when Yang Liping's dance was frozen, Qi Yu actually shed two lines of tears.

She said to Yang Ye: "I have to thank you for allowing me to leave my mark on such a great work!"

……

Yang Liping returned to the capital with a song "The Spirit of the Bird" co-produced by top literary and artistic figures from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

Yang Ye said: "It's not convenient for me to show up in public, so I won't take you to the airport."

Yang Liping said "Yeah". It was very troublesome for Yang Ye to show up in public. She completely understood!

"I look forward to... coming to Hong Kong soon!" Yang Liping said seriously.

Yang Ye smiled calmly: "I look forward to it too!"

"I'm leaving!"

"Bon Voyage!"

Yang Liping took two steps, then suddenly turned around, threw herself into Yang Ye's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Yang Ye felt two tears falling on his shoulders, hot and hot...

……

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if you want to win someone's heart, it is probably because something you did at a certain moment completely moved the other person.

It's just that everyone's threshold for being moved is different.

If the other party is a beautiful woman who is pursued by countless people, all you do for her is chat with her, give her gifts, eat... these things that anyone can do, naturally they are of no use.

A lot of talented, funny, and humorous people rushed to chat with her, give her expensive gifts, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. What did this mean?

After Yang Liping became famous with "Peacock Princess" in Xishuangbanna, countless people followed her. People sang love songs downstairs in her dormitory every day.

And Yang Ye, pretending to be invisible and understatement, mobilized the top resources in the Chinese-speaking world to add luster to Yang Liping's most cherished dance career.

The reason for doing all this is simply because: he appreciates Yang Liping's talent and believes that she is a thousand-mile horse and should not die in a stable.

How could this... not make people deeply moved and fall in love with it?
The artist's heart is sensitive and delicate, and the artist's love is strong and unrestrained.

They dare to love and hate, they are fearless, and they don't care about worldly opinions at all!
Such a person... is the best candidate to be a lover!

Looking at Yang Liping's retreating figure, Yang Scumbag couldn't help but sing: "South of the colorful clouds, the direction of my heart, the peacock flies away, the memories are long..."

……

The box office of "The Fighter" was very fierce. As Hong Kong's number one superstar, not only the theater alliance gave him enough face, but no one in Hong Kong's film companies dared to compete with him.

This makes "Fighter" occupy 70% of the film schedule, and "Shanghai Noon 2", which had a great week, has its film schedule cut to only 25%.

At the same time, since the rights to "Boxing Fighter" were sold out as early as March, this time we cooperated with film companies from all over the world to have a simultaneous release.

This time "Boxing Fighter" not only has the thrilling "Qing Kung Fu" in "Kowloon Walled City", but also the ultimate showdown between fists and fists, cruel and powerful Aung Fist VS Muay Thai. The audience in the cinema is all excited It was very exciting to watch.

Suddenly, good news spread frequently in North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, and the box office soared.

The Hong Kong box office reached 2780 million Hong Kong dollars, the Taiwan box office exceeded NT$5400 million, Singapore 218 million Singapore dollars, Malaysia 320 million ringgit, the United States 2900 million US dollars, Japan 25 billion yen, the United Kingdom, France... wherever it went, it caused a stir. The craze for "Boxing Fighter" is spreading, except in Thailand!
In Thailand, "Boxing Fighter" was severely boycotted. Some people in the Muay Thai community were very dissatisfied with Yang Ye, believing that Yang Ye's high fists were fabricated out of thin air and were deliberately belittling Muay Thai.

Yang Ye just doesn't care. If you don't like it, come and challenge me!
In addition to the box office success, critics also praised "The Fighter" and highly praised it.

The "Chicago Post" in the United States commented on "Boxer": Yang Ye once again broadened the boundaries of action movies. If you are an action movie actor, you only need to choose the path opened by Yang Ye, keep going, and you will have a chance to succeed!
Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" commented on "Boxer": Each of Yang Ye's works has brought revolutionary changes to action movies, and you never know where he will go.

Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" commented on "Boxing Fighter": As an audience, we are lucky, because Yang Ye will always bring us something fresh!
Since she had already moved to the mainland, the commentary in Ming Pao not only praised Yang Ye, but also praised Yang Liping:
Yang Ye not only brought us the fierce boxing skills of southwest China, but also brought us the intoxicating soft dance there.

The fierce fisting and the soft peacock dance let us see the colorful culture of the mainland...

……

Taking advantage of the popularity of the release of "Boxer", "Female Boxer" also opened its premiere amidst the long-awaited premiere.

This summer, Baiyang Pictures’ movies have been on a roll since June, and good shows continue to be staged.

First, Jet Li's "Fang Shiyu" earned HK$2580 million at the local box office, followed by Yuen Biao and Lee Saifeng Hiroyuki Sanada's "Peacock King 2: Asura" which earned HK$1600 million.

Wu Yaohan Hui Yinghong's "Double Dragon Goes to the Sea" earned HK$1840 million, and Yang Ye's "The King of Fighters" earned HK$2780 million locally.

In addition, the literary film "Love in a Fallen City" directed by Ann Hui also earned HK$840 million.

"Love in a Fallen City" is an adaptation of Zhang Ailing's original novel. The male and female protagonists in the original time and space were Zhou Runfa and Miao Qian, but Baiyang Pictures took care of their own people, and the protagonists became Liu Hua and Zhong Chuhong.

All in all, excluding the Western film "Shanghai Noon 2" starring Chen Long, Poplar Pictures has collected nearly million Hong Kong dollars in box office in Hong Kong in the past two and a half months.

Such a brilliant record was exclaimed by the Hong Kong media as this year's strongest summer season. It also made Hong Kong film companies despair and Hong Kong audiences said their wallets couldn't bear it.

But having said that, there is a lack of entertainment these days. In the summer, with a 12 yuan movie ticket, you can spend two hours happily in the cinema with the air conditioner blowing. There is really nothing cheaper or more comfortable than this. Casual way.

"Female Fighter" is scheduled to be released in late August, marking the end of the summer season. It is also the last shot of Baiyang Pictures this summer.

……

Li Saifeng is a disciple of Yang Ye and a female star favored by Baiyang Film Industry. She has previously released many well-known movies such as "Peacock King" and "Bo Niu". This is the leading role, and with the title of "Female Boxing Champion", it is naturally highly anticipated.

On the day of the premiere, media and celebrities from all walks of life gathered, and the momentum was not inferior to the premiere of "Boxer".

Originally, the director of this movie was Yang Ye. Who in the entertainment industry would not give him face?

Moreover, the industry is already very interested in Yang Ye's movies. Every time a new movie comes out, everyone will go and watch it immediately.

The story ideas, action design, editing methods, costumes and props, and music backgrounds in Yang Ye's movies are all epoch-making things.

Every time something comes out, it will inevitably be studied over and over again by countless filmmakers.

If you want to make quick money, just follow the trend of others. What you pursue is to carefully study his film language and apply it in your own works.

In fact, many movies of this era have the same names as the original time and space, but the specific content presented is quite different from the original time and space.

For example, New Art City's flagship movie "Best Partner" series, its plot is actually more compact than the original time and space, and the action design and special effects production are also more exciting than the original time and space.

This is why, even though Yang Ye has already made a powerful movie like "The Terminator", "The Best Partner" can still be very popular.

……

At the premiere of "Girlfriend", Yang Ye brought Moon Lee, Ti Lung, Cheng Pei-pei and other main creators to the stage to interact with the audience.

As soon as Yang Ye came on stage, he smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I'm meeting you all again so soon!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience cheered.

Since Yang Ye made his debut in 1973, he has directed or appeared in a total of sixteen films in eleven years.

They are Shaolin Temple, Fist of Heroes, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Alien, Food Truck, Swordsman, 12 Men Kill , Terminator, Wushe Uprising (Sediq Bale), Sword Rain, First Blood, Kowloon Walled City (Violent District), Five Lucky Stars, Boxing Fighter, Female Boxing Fighter.

Excluding the four guest appearances in 12 Girls , Sword Rain, and The Five Lucky Stars, he has actually directed or starred in only twelve movies.

On average, there is only one movie a year, and the output is really not very high.

Since the launch of "ET" and "Food Truck" in 1977, this is the second time that two works directed by him have been released in one year, and the interval is only more than a month. It is a miracle. No wonder the audience cheered. .

During the Q&A session, Deborah asked: "Action movies have always been dominated by male stars. Why did the director think of letting Ah Man take the lead this time?"

Yang Ye explained: "In fact, in the 1960s and 1970s, there were many outstanding female stars in the Hong Kong film industry, such as Zheng Peipei, Xu Feng, Shangguan Lingfeng, Mao Ying, etc.

But then it became a world dominated by male stars, lacking a touch of heroine color. I thought this was not good, it was too monotonous. He decided to train female star fighters, and for this purpose he accepted two female disciples, A Hong and A Man.

When I first met Aman, I felt that she had a tenacity in her. I accepted her as a disciple and trained her as a swordsman.

Don't look at Aman who looks cute and easy to bully. After watching the movie, I'm sure everyone will be impressed by her. "

Deborah said: "So, the director is very satisfied with Aman's performance?"

"I'm very satisfied. The movements in this movie are very difficult. It's so difficult that only girls can do it because girls are more flexible.

Aman completed the task very well, but she was bruised and bruised all over her body. Once her life was even in danger, but she gritted her teeth and persevered and never complained. "

When Yang Ye said these words, the big screen lit up, and footage of Li Saifeng's injury during filming appeared.

She fell from the stairs and almost died. The audience in the cinema watched and exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Ye has never been miserable in filming, but this time the protagonist is the cute girl Li Saifeng, so being miserable is a must, in order to inspire the audience's sympathy.

Sure enough, after seeing the behind-the-scenes of this tragic show, many men at the scene felt pity for her.

Some people even cursed: This Yang Ye actually allowed such a cute girl to film such a dangerous scene. He is really not a human being.

Deborah sighed: "It's really amazing. Can we give Aman some applause together?"

The audience immediately applauded enthusiastically!

Deborah then asked Li Saifeng: "Aman, why did you agree to take such a dangerous action?"

Li Saifeng replied: "Because Master is the person I respect the most, so I want to emulate him."

Deborah said: "Young Master Yang, I'm a little envious of you for having such a good disciple!"

Yang Ye said: "I'm proud of her!"

The audience gave another burst of warm applause.

Deborah asked again: "Are you afraid when filming these actions?"

"I'm afraid, but I asked my master, senior brother, Brother Long, Brother Bao, and Brother Biao for advice.

They are all very good action movie actors, they all took good care of me and taught me many techniques. Some of them can be seen in movies. "

"Your master said that you never complain, is it true?"

Li Saifeng blushed and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I hid and cried secretly!"

Li Saifeng was originally pure and cute, but such a blushing and embarrassed expression aroused the protective desire of the male compatriots, and they secretly cursed Yang Ye for not being a human being!

Deborah then conducted an interview with Ti Lung and Zheng Peipei, the two major stars in the film.

Of course, Ti Lung and Cheng Peipei praised Li Saifeng for his bravery, tenacity, hard work, and insistence on not using a stunt double in many dangerous scenes, but acting in person.

This is a collective effort to build momentum for Li Saifeng.

Since "The Fighter" is a popular movie, when the audience watches "The Fighter", they will naturally compare the two.

Women are much weaker than men in terms of strength, so when they fight, they will inevitably feel a little light and less lethal.

So Yang Ye wanted to give the audience a shot first. After seeing the behind-the-scenes of Li Saifeng's life-threatening filming, he naturally wouldn't be too harsh on her.

If anyone else were to take advantage of the popularity of "Boxing Fighter", they would definitely be scorned and spat at by the audience.

But "Female Boxer" was directed by Yang Ye himself, and the starring role was his disciple Li Saifeng. Li Saifeng was so dedicated, so everyone had nothing to say.

Moreover, Li Saifeng is a sweet and cute person, and the gentlemen in the audience will be more tolerant because of this.

Are you sorry for saying nasty things to such a strong, hard-working, and cute little girl?
The later Go girl Zhan Ying was not ranked among the professional players in terms of her chess prowess.

But just because she is a cute little girl, she is more popular than Ke Jie.

Even in the Hupu goddess selection, she defeated Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan and won the championship!
This... shows that LSPs have no resistance to the attribute of "cute"!
