Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 367 It’s good to have brothers

"Can't dig even one?" Fang Yihua was shocked.

The scope of this ban was very wide, and all the companies under Yang Ye were not spared.

As the general manager of TVB, Fang Yihua immediately set her sights on ATV's "four major beauties", but she was disappointed.

Among these four beauties, Fang Yihua had harmed Chen Xiuwen before. Chen Xiuwen hated this old godly woman so much that Fang Yihua had no intention of poaching her.

There is no need for Michelle to dig. This woman is versatile and can eat anywhere. If Fang Yihua wants to invite her to film, she will come.

Zhao Yazhi just went to the mainland to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but was already banned.

Fang Yihua hopes to dig Chen Yulian, but this is simply a fantasy.

Chen Yulian is Yang Ye’s woman, dig? Dig it!
Fang Yihua pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "Where is Zhang Guorong?"

"Zhang Guorong is very loyal. He said that Yang Ye is his good friend. And he is not short of money. He is very comfortable staying at Baiyang Company and will not leave!"

"Where are Liu Hua and Zhang Xueyou?"

Chen Shufen said: "They are both supported by Yang Ye, saying they don't want to be ungrateful."

"That Dawn too?"

"Ling Ming went to the mainland to film a movie."

"Mainland? Forget it! It's useless to dig him out, he will be the next target to be banned."

"What about Girls' Generation?"

"They are packaged by Yang Ye. It is impossible to leave Yang Ye. Moreover, their biggest market is Japan, and Taiwan is like that. They will not leave."

"Aren't there three girls from Taiwan, and they won't leave either?"

"The three of them have been touring the world with Yang Ye when they were seven or eight years old. After more than ten years, they have the same father-daughter relationship with Yang Ye, and they can't dig him out at all."

"So who did we dig up?"

"There are a few on the second line, but none on the first line!"

"..."

Hong Kong Island Tea Restaurant!
Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao drank tea together.

Yuan Biao asked: "Have you decided?"

Hong Jingbao said depressedly: "What else should I do? I don't have the Japanese market like you. What will I eat if I leave the Taiwanese market?"

"Then have you figured out how to explain it to Mr. Yang? He treats you well!"

"How can you explain it? Anyway, my contract with Baiyang Company expires this year. I... just don't renew it."

"I think you should think about it again, although the conditions offered by Mr. Pan are also very generous.

But as Mr. Yang does things, you know, he always makes plans before taking action. I guess he has some backup plans. "

"Young Master Yang can walk a tightrope on both sides because he is protected by the Second Young Master in Taiwan. Now that the Second Young Master has fallen, what else can he do?"

"whatever!"

"What about you?"

"My Japanese market was opened by Young Master Yang with his hands and feet. If I leave now, am I still a human being?"

"Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

"You and I are different from Brother Long. Young Master Yang helps me and Brother Long a lot, but he helps you... To be honest, he doesn't do much. You have helped him for ten years, and to be honest, you don't feel sorry for him."

"Alas!" Hong Jingbao sighed.

……

John Woo has been very unhappy recently.

As early as the 1970s, John Woo's comedies were still very popular, second only to Xu Guanwen.

Later, with the rise of kung fu movies and new wave directors, it became nothing, and every film produced was a loss.

Jiahe couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Wu Yusen out.

After John Woo left Golden Harvest, he went to Taiwan, where he was even worse off. He was a hit in the streets wherever he filmed, and was a real box office poison.

Unsatisfied in Taiwan, John Woo returned to Hong Kong in despair.

After returning to Hong Kong, there was still no film to shoot. John Woo was very miserable and stayed at home watching videos every day.

Today is the weekend, and John Woo is staying at home and doesn’t want to move.

In the afternoon, his wife Niu Chunlong knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Old Xu called and asked you to go to his house for a drink."

John Woo shook his head and said, "I don't want to go!"

Niu Chunlong advised: "He should have something to do with you, so you'd better go there."

John Woo thought for a while, and finally nodded, tidied up a little, and went out.

When we arrived at Tsui Hark's house, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room, picking his feet.

"Here we go, eat a mango!"

Xu Ke casually picked up the mango on the table and handed it to John Woo.

John Woo thought to himself, your fucking hand was picking at your feet just now, so why don’t you give me a mango?

He suddenly looked disgusted and said, "I won't eat it!"

Xu Ke didn't take it seriously and just tore open the mango skin and started chewing it.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"Wait a minute, Nan Sheng is cooking. Let's chat while eating. This mango is delicious. Are you really not going to eat it?"

"Don't eat!"

Shi Nansheng quickly cooked the food, brought it out, and said, "John, here you go, go wash your hands and eat."

John Woo held Xu Ke and said, "Let's go, wash your hands!"

"Can't I just wipe it off?" Xu Ke complained, but was dragged to the kitchen by John Woo.

The three of them opened a few bottles of beer and chatted while eating.

Xu Ke said: "John, did you know? Young Master Yang has been banned!"

John Woo stayed at home and was a homebody every day. He really didn't know that, and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

"Master Yang's backstage in Taiwan collapsed. It's as simple as that. Now the entire Baiyang company has been banned." "Then what should you do?"

Xu Ke said: "You don't have to worry about us. Let me ask you, do you still want to make a movie?"

John Woo said sadly: "Of course I do. I think I am still capable of making good movies. However, many people say that I no longer follow the trend and am outdated!"

Xu Ke was very angry and slapped the table and said: "Don't listen to their farts, I am very optimistic about you. I came to you today to tell you that your opportunity has come!"

"What chance do I have?"

"I decided to take you to see Mr. Yang and tell him that I will be the producer and you will be the director to remake "A Better Tomorrow"!"

"A Better Tomorrow" is an action film directed by Long Gang in the 1960s and starring Shi Jian and Xie Xian.

Xu Ke and John Woo both liked it very much and thought it was a classic, and they always wanted to remake it.

The two of them had been thinking about this a long time ago.

Xu Ke didn't have a definite script. He just wanted to have three people in the movie, two brothers and a good friend.

Xu Ke also wanted to make this story into a version of three women.

John Woo always thought that Xu Ke wanted to shoot it himself, because Xu Ke was doing better than him and had a better chance of getting investment.

He didn't expect that Xu Ke would give this opportunity to him!
John Woo was very moved, these are brothers!
Xu Ke said: "John, do you know? Mr. Yang is very knowledgeable about people. I believe he can see your talent. If you go to him now, it is a timely help. He will definitely reuse you!" "

John Woo didn't say anything, he just raised his glass, touched it with Xu Ke, and drank it all in one gulp.

It’s great to have such a brother!
……

Du Qifeng knocked on the door and said: "Come in!"

Du Qifeng walked into Yang Ye's office and said, "Mr. Yang, are you looking for me?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Fengzi, has anyone poached you recently?"

"Yes, Wireless just hired someone to poach me!"

"Then why don't you go?"

"Young Master Yang, I have followed you since my debut. How could I betray you? Besides, you and I both came from Kowloon Walled City. If I dare to go to Wireless, I will be hacked to death by my brothers in the Walled City."

"Hahaha, are you afraid of death that's why you don't leave?"

Johnnie To quickly said: "Of course not, that's all I said."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Feng Zai, you and I have developed your abilities for so many years. Do you want to be an independent director and make movies?"

Johnnie To was overjoyed. He had made a movie a few years ago, but felt that he was not capable enough after the filming, so he came back to make a TV series.

Now he feels that his abilities are almost the same. He was thinking of finding a chance to talk to Yang Ye, but Yang Ye took the initiative to find him. Can he be unhappy?

This shows that Yang Ye sees his performance!

Yang Ye threw him a script and said: "I wrote this script when I was filming in Beijing. You can take it back and study it. The starring roles are Liu Hua, Zhou Huimin, and Wu Mengda. You can coordinate their schedules yourself. Once it's done, Ask Manager Xu to get money and start filming.”

Du Qifeng took it and took a look. On the title page it read: "If Heaven Is Love"! Screenwriter: Yang Ye. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Holding the script carefully, he walked away in a hurry.

Yang Ye originally thought that Liu Hua would leave, because the movies Liu Hua made in the past few years had only the same box office in Hong Kong, but they were more popular in Taiwan.

In the face of a catastrophe, the bloodline of close relatives may not be reliable, let alone this so-called support.

Unexpectedly, he was quite loyal and insisted on staying.

If that's the case, then I'll make you famous all over Asia!
……

The 5th Academy Awards were held on time at the Hong Kong Coliseum!
As the scale of Hong Kong films becomes larger and larger, the Academy Awards are becoming more and more grand.

It was held in the Coliseum for the first time last year and achieved unprecedented success, so this year it will be the same.

Yang Ye’s female companion this year is Zhong Chuhong!
Zhong Chuhong held Yang Ye's arm, and the two slowly walked onto the red carpet, and were immediately cheered enthusiastically by fans!
"Young Master Yang! Young Master Yang!"

"Honggu! Honggu!"

The two of them smiled and waved to their fans!

Yang Ye asked: "A Hong, why did you agree to walk on the red carpet with me? I am currently banned, and it will affect you."

Zhong Chuhong said speechlessly: "Hey, did you invite me? You are my boss, how can I refuse?"

"Then I'm not your boss, so you will refuse?"

"Since you look so handsome, I should agree!"

"Hahaha! Speaking of which, many people are avoiding me now, and there must be a lot of people poaching you. Why don't you leave?"

"Why should I leave? I feel very comfortable in the company! It's hard to find a boss like you!"

Zhong Chuhong has a more straightforward personality, and she says whatever she wants.

Zhong Chuhong and Yang Ye had no friendship. Yang Ye had never dated her or cooperated with her.

Now when the company is in crisis, she actually refuses to leave, which makes Yang Ye very surprised, so he takes her to the red carpet.

The next step is to give it a thumbs up.

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Employees like you are rare!"

When the two reached the end of the red carpet, they were immediately surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

They carried long guns and short cannons, clicked photos, and chirped: "Mr. Yang, what do you want to say about being banned by Taiwan?"

Yang Ye said calmly: "I am a director and an actor. I make good shows with my heart. The audience who deserves it is the most important thing in my opinion. As for other things, I can only say that justice is in the heart."

A reporter from "Sing Tao Daily" asked: "Mr. Yang, will you go to Taiwan to plead guilty?"

Yang Ye said speechlessly: "Please pay attention to your wording. Have I committed a crime? What crime?"

"Your movie will no longer be released in Taiwan. Don't you think this is a huge loss?"

“There is nothing to lose for me, as we all know my films have a huge audience around the world.

It’s a loss for the Taiwanese audience that they can’t see it. What did they do wrong? Why deny them the right to watch movies? "

"I stress again, I am an entertainment figure, not a political figure. I just want to make a good movie.

Wherever there is good scenery and a good environment, where should I go to take pictures? Is there anything wrong with this? Okay, that's it, I have to go in! "

Yang Ye said, waved to the audience who supported him, took Zhong Chuhong's little hand, and walked into the Coliseum.
