Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 365 You asked me to come

The peak of Chinese film viewing was actually in the 1979s, starting in .

That year, it reached an unprecedented record of 28 movie viewings per person and 293 billion viewers nationwide.

Then it continued to decline, with the number of moviegoers falling from 1979 billion in 293 to 1992 billion in 103.

In the book "Chinese Film Yearbook", there is a work report written by China Film General Manager Hu Jian in 1990, which mentioned some data from the s.

For example, "Xiyingmen" was screened for one year using three types of projectors, and the number of moviegoers reached 470 million.

"Wrangler" was screened on a 35mm projector for five months, with million viewers.

"Shaolin Temple" was screened on a 35mm projector for nine months and attracted million viewers.

"The Mysterious Buddha" was screened for four months a year using three types of projectors, with 403 million moviegoers...

Note: The data mentioned in Hu Jian’s work report are not the final number of moviegoers.

For example, "Shaolin Temple" was screened nationwide using three types of projectors, with more than 500 million viewers.

Hu Jian only mentioned the data of 35mm projectors.

For comparison, the box office champion "Changjin Lake" in later generations had 100 million moviegoers.

In other words, the 1980s was the real golden age of the Chinese film industry.

It is a pity that in this era when the enthusiasm for watching movies is unprecedentedly high, Chinese audiences have no movies to watch, and their enthusiasm is in vain.

This has to be said to be a tragedy!
……

After receiving some technologies provided by Yang Ye, the mainland has been cultivating talents and accumulating strength. Starting from this year, it will accelerate.

In return, Yang Ye was able to officially enter the mainland market this year.

When Wu Lengxi met Yang Ye, he actually came with a mission.

Soon, Xia Meng and Shi Hui arrived in the capital as representatives of Baiyang Pictures and Yindu Organization respectively, and gathered with the heads of major film studios to start formal negotiations.

……

Yang Ye handed over the crew to Yuan Heping and went to the airport to pick him up in person.

At this time, Xia Meng and Shi Hui were already over fifty years old, but they still had charm and outstanding temperament.

As soon as the two appeared at the airport, they attracted a lot of attention.

As soon as Yang Ye saw the two of them, he went up to them and called them sister affectionately.

Shi Hui joked: "Sister Meng, your brother's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Yang Ye was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by this? You are my sister too!"

Shi Hui laughed loudly: "I'll just say he has a sweet mouth!"

Xia Mengdao: "Brother, you are actually in the capital. You can negotiate in person. Why did you call me over? Hong Kong is still in trouble."

Yang Ye said: "What can happen to Hong Kong? Just leave it to Ah Feng for the time being. This negotiation is crucial, and it is more appropriate for you to come forward than me."

Xia Mengdao: "In the case of Jiangnan, Chen Qili's friend Bai Lang identified the second young master as the murderer in Los Angeles. The second young master may have lost power."

Jiangnan is a Chinese-American writer and an informant of FB1. He is regarded as a traitor, and the second son sends Chen Qili to the United States to assassinate him.

The United States was furious and investigated the matter thoroughly. Taiwan then arrested Chen Qili.

Of course, Chen Qili had a back-up plan. His friend Bai Lang openly produced evidence in Los Angeles and identified the second young master as the mastermind behind the scenes. As a result, the second young master lost power.

The second son's loss of power means that Baiyang Pictures' protective umbrella in Taiwan has been cut off.

As for Hu Yinmeng's father, he has been away from the temple for many years, and he does not have that much energy to protect Baiyang Pictures.

In addition, this year ATV sent Deborah and Zhao Yazhi to the mainland to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, which greatly angered Taiwan.

Therefore, there are rumors that Baiyang Pictures will be banned soon.

At this time, people within Baiyang Company were also in a state of uncertainty.

The major film companies in Hong Kong are also ready to take action.

Just waiting for the ban order, I am ready to go to Baiyang Company to dig and dig like crazy!
Therefore, Xia Meng hopes to stay in Hong Kong to appease people's hearts.

As for Xu Feng, she doesn’t have that much prestige yet!
Yang Ye had known about Jiangnan for a long time. He didn't take it to heart at all. He said indifferently: "Block it, just block it. As long as it can successfully enter the mainland market this time, the Taiwan market is nothing."

Yang Ye sent the two old beauties to the hotel, put away their luggage, and then had a light meal in the hotel restaurant.

During the dinner, we discussed the content of this negotiation again.

Afterwards, Xia Meng went to visit her sister Yang Jie.

When I came to the capital, of course I wanted to reunite with my sister.

Shi Hui had nothing to do, so he also followed.

Yang Ye sent Xia Meng and Shi Hui away, then looked at the time and was too lazy to go to the set, so he went back to the room to rest.

Not long after I lay down, the phone rang. It was from the front desk.

"Mr. Yang, there is a Miss Chen Chong who says she is your friend and she wants to see you!"

"Tell her to come up!"

……

"What do you want from me?"

"No!" Chen Chong lowered his head!
Yang Ye stretched out a finger, lifted her chin up, and ordered: "Look at me and tell the truth!"

"I...want to thank you for saving me!"

Yang Ye shook his head and said, "This is a trivial matter. This is not what I want to hear."

"To me, it's a big deal!"

"Okay, besides this big thing...is there anything else?"

"It's...you asked me to come."

"What did I ask you to do?"

"Here you...check!" The last two words sounded like a mosquito.

"What to check?" "Check..." Chen Chong struggled for a long time and suddenly said loudly: "Check whether I am looking for a man in the United States!"

After saying this, she squatted on the ground and started crying.

Her dignity had been completely shattered.

In other words, she had no dignity in front of Yang Ye from the beginning.

Four years ago, she exchanged her body with this man in order to go to the United States.

At that time, Yang Ye could play with her however he wanted, and if he asked her to stick out her butt, she would do it.

Dignity, what is that?
Chen Chong squatted on the ground, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, tears fell like rain, and he cried loudly!

Yang Ye was silent for a while and asked, "Are you having a good time in the United States?"

Chen Chong shrank his nose and choked: "Not good!"

"You were a movie queen in China. Since you can't make it in the United States, have you ever thought about returning to your old career as an actor?"

"In Hollywood, no one recognizes Chinese movie queens. I tried to act, but I could only play bit parts without lines."

"No lines?"

Chen Chong thought for a while and said, "I once said, Do you want to have some tea, Mr. Hammer?"

This was Chen Chong's only line in his career as a walk-on actor in Hollywood, so she remembered it very clearly.

"Then why didn't you come to me? You should know that I can make your situation better!"

"I don't want you to mess with me, I'm human too!"

"You are returning to China this time because you can no longer survive in the United States. Do you want to come back to try the waters and look for opportunities?"

"Yes!" Chen Chong wiped his tears and admitted readily.

After all, she is a movie queen, so it is wise for Chen Chong to come back at this time, but it is a pity that she said the wrong thing at the Spring Festival Gala.

What a fortune teller, what a red trouser belt, as soon as she said it, she was finished and could only go back to the United States in despair.

After returning to the United States, Chen Chong took the English name Joan Chen and fought in Hollywood again.

At the expense of taking off her clothes, she got the first female lead role in Hollywood, "Big Class", where she played a slave girl and was spanked by a foreigner.

There is also a scene in the film that seems to be a portrayal of her true psychology.

In the film, she plays a slave girl who kneels in front of the Buddha and prays: "I beg the Buddha to have mercy and free my ancestors from the shame and pain they suffered because of my union with a barbarian. Please forgive me, a poor person!"

Because of this movie, she was scolded miserably, but she also became famous. Then she received the role of "The Last Emperor" which swept the Academy Awards, and she completely turned around!

Yang Ye didn't want her to go back to Hollywood and star in the embarrassing movie "Taipan" where she had to stick up her butt and get spanked by foreigners.

Said: "You have seen the United States before, it is not that easy to mess with. Unless you can fight like Chen Long, but obviously, you can't.

Now that you are back, please stay in the mainland and develop in the future. I will give you some help. Here you are considered a chicken head, but in the United States you are not even qualified to be a phoenix tail! "

Chen Chong hummed.

Yang Ye said: "Now go to the bed and stick your butt out."

"what?"

"examine!"

Chen Chong had no dignity at all in front of Yang Ye. She followed Yang Ye's instructions and climbed onto the bed obediently, sticking her butt up...

……

Huang Yihe went back and discussed with Taili, but he still didn't dare to disclose Yang Ye's copyright.

Yang Ye is very supportive of the work of CCTV. What they do is equivalent to chilling the hearts of patriotic Hong Kong businessmen.

Soon, the record company quickly sent someone to contact Yang Ye, paid him 90,000 yuan in copyright fees, and obtained the distribution rights for Yang Ye's three songs.

Nowadays, the selling price of a box of tapes is only one yuan, which is incredible. Even if it sells three million copies, it will only be three million yuan. How much profit will it make?

Yang Ye just wants an explanation. If everyone follows the rules, there will be no problem. Money is a trivial matter. You can't get used to it!

Soon after, the Spring Festival Gala songs were compiled and published. Once on the market, they were instantly available in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives across the country through its channels.

At this time, the power of the song "Dream Water Town" was revealed.

Suddenly, in the streets and alleys, wherever you go, you can hear a melodious flute sound, and then "At dusk in spring, please accompany me to the water town in my dreams..."

"Dream in the Water Village" is beautiful and beautiful, coupled with Zhao Yazhi's gentle and pleasant image, it is simply a super killer.

The record company put Zhao Yazhi's face in the most obvious position on the tape, the proper C position.

People lined up to buy it, and after buying it, they listened to it over and over again, back and forth.

The sales of tapes were also rising steadily, and in less than a week, they exceeded one million boxes.

It's still too poor. Hong Kong has a population of just over five million, and a record can sell for eight platinums in the country.

With the population base of the mainland, at least 10 million copies must be sold to be considered interesting.

……

There is snow in the sky!
In a Japanese-style courtyard, Obasus is wearing a snow-white kimono, while Beatrice is wearing a Bruce Lee-style yellow sportswear, each holding a knife for the final duel!

One white, one yellow, two figures passing by each other!

A pool of red blood fell on the white snow.

Immediately, the sword in Ouzhen's hand fell down, and she murmured: "That is really a Hattori Hanzo sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground!

Her Tianling Cap was cut off by Beatrice.

……

"Okay, let's call it a day!"

"The drama management will leave the aftermath, and the others will return to Hong Kong tomorrow! Rest for three days, and then set off for Japan!"

At this point, the filming of the scenes in the Mainland has been completed!
