Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 376: Enduring Loneliness

He Guanchang analyzed: “Although mainland China is poor, it has many people!
Although the ticket price is only one-thirtieth of that in Hong Kong, the population is two hundred times that of Hong Kong, and the demand and enthusiasm for watching movies is very strong.

The most important thing is... Baiyang Pictures has almost no competitors in mainland China.

It now seems that choosing mainland China instead of Taiwan is a very wise choice. "

Zou Wenhuai sighed and said, "Who knew that mainland China would suddenly abandon unified purchase and sales and change to a split-account policy?"

He Guanchang said: "If we go in now..."

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "It's too late! The first person to seek refuge will always get the greatest benefits. If we follow behind, we won't have so much money.

Moreover, mainland China has opened up twenty places a year, which is already the limit. If there are any more, the local film industry will not be able to bear it.

Now that the quota has been divided between Baiyang and Yindu, what is the use of us going? Baiyang himself is not enough, unless we buy a quota in Yindu. Huh...that's not right! "

"what happened?"

"The quota in Yindu looks like a bait, used to lure us into taking the bait!"

He Guanchang also came to his senses: "Then what should we do? Should we contact Yindu?"

Zou Wenhuai was very moved, then sighed and said: "It's a pity that there are still too few people. We are definitely not the only ones eyeing this quota."

"Yeah, if it's all for us, we can do it without hesitation. But if we share it with everyone... it's useless."

“Now it seems that on the one hand, the mainland wants to attract us to enter, but on the other hand, it is reluctant to completely open up its market.

That's why we came up with this very embarrassing policy. Just wait, they will always open up further! "

……

Yang Ye is very busy!

On the one hand, the post-production of "Kill Bill" is in full swing.

On the one hand, he has to deal with a lot of trivial matters due to the chain reaction caused by the explosion of the mainland market.

During his one-month stay in Hong Kong, no fewer than twenty film company bosses came to visit him.

I definitely want to meet the bosses of some large film companies.

As for some of the less famous ones, just leave them aside. I really don’t have time.

After meeting the boss of the film company, Yang Ye began to meet some media bosses, visited Jin Yong, and drank tea with Ma Chengkun and others from Oriental Daily.

……

Shadow Man’s Tea Restaurant!
Yang Ye walked in quickly with Hu Yinmeng, walking in the wind.

He nodded to Run Run Shao and his wife by the window as a greeting.

Then he came to the other side and shook hands politely with a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Brother Shen, I'm so sorry. I made the appointment with you, but I arrived behind you!"

This person is Shen Jianzhi, the editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong Economic Journal. Shen Jianzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Yang is very punctual. I was the one who arrived early!"

After sitting down, Yang Ye casually took out a gift and handed it to Shen Jianzhi, smiling: "I heard that my sister-in-law likes silk. This is Shu embroidery from the mainland. It is quite exquisite. I think she will like it!"

Shen Jianzhi was not polite and said with a smile: "Thank you very much!"

Why is Shen Jianzhi's wife so happy when Yang Ye openly gives her a gift?

Because his wife is the sister of the Hong Kong dancer Mao Mei, and Mao Mei is Xia Meng’s best friend. We have some "relative" relationships that are beyond our reach, so it is not rude for Yang Ye to give his wife a small gift. .

Yang Ye said: "This time I approached Brother Shen because I actually hoped that the Hong Kong Economic Journal could help publicize something!"

Shen Jianzhi asked strangely: "What's going on, you need to come out in person and pull people around?"

"Haha, do you know I'm trying to attract people?"

"We are in the media, so we know a little bit about all the trouble."

“It’s actually very simple. Nowadays, mainstream markets around the world have their own film rating systems.

Not to mention Europe and the United States, Taiwan’s classification system was established in the early 1960s.

Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient, but it lags behind in this matter. Isn’t this understandable?

Therefore, I hope that Hong Kong’s influential media will cooperate with us filmmakers to promote and build momentum and establish the film rating system in one fell swoop! "

Shen Kamzhi understood, thought for a while, and said: "I understand, this matter is of great benefit to Hong Kong, and we at the Hong Kong Economic Journal are willing to wave the flag and help!"

"Thank you very much!"

……

Yang Ye was very busy and he still had many people to meet. He chatted with Shen Jianzhi for a few words and then left.

Before going out, I nodded to Run Run Shaw and his wife again.

Fang Yihua hated Yang Ye deeply and complained: "This bad boy, I didn't expect to turn around again so soon!"

Run Run Shaw said: "Taiwan's market is simply dispensable to him. The ban only caused him a slight loss. There is no question of whether he can turn over or not!"

However, I did not expect that he would open up the mainland market in one fell swoop. Alas, I was so wrong during the Sino-British negotiations! "

The old man embroidered the red flag all night long, and starting from this year, he continued to donate money to support education in China. From south to north, from east to west, Yifu Buildings were built one after another in the mainland.

From this perspective...his being on the wrong team is a huge good thing for the Chinese people!
Fang Yihua comforted Run Run Shaw and asked, "This bad boy has been busy recently and met with many bosses of newspapers and film companies. What does he want to do?"

Run Run Shaw said: "He wants to implement Hong Kong's film rating system, and he has already met me. This is a good thing. TVB will help promote it when the time comes!" Although Fang Yihua was unhappy, she had no choice but to agree after Run Run Shaw's orders!

……

A lot of people were killed, and the most important one was of course Zhang Minyi. After all, she was a superior leader and had a lot of say in this matter.

Yang Ye had no choice but to moisturize her again and make her look radiant, so he naturally agreed to help.

Damn, Yang Ye really worked hard for Hong Kong movies and died.

To be honest, even if there was no such relationship, Zhang Minyi would stand up for this kind of thing.

In fact, after so many years, Yang Ye has never asked Zhang Minyi to do anything excessive.

Therefore, Zhang Minyi did not think that Yang Ye was using her, and she loved Yang Ye even more.

But having said that, even if Yang Ye was taking advantage of her, she would be happy with it. She had already been poisoned by Yang Ye.

……

"Ayou, do you want to go to the mainland market?"

During this banning crisis, Yang Ye benefited all those who could withstand the pressure and persisted in sharing the hardships with Yang Ye.

Zhong Chuhong refused to leave, so Yang Ye arranged for her to be the heroine of "Rambo 2".

Liu Hua refused to leave, so Yang Ye arranged for Johnnie To to film "If There's Love" with him.

John Woo came to the rescue in times of need, and Yang Ye promoted him to be the director to film "A Better Tomorrow" and also agreed to make a guest appearance in person.

Only Zhang Xueyou, after a few months, Yang Ye said nothing.

It’s not that he forgot, he just wasn’t prepared before, so he didn’t say it!
Cheung Suet-you's current record sales among Hong Kong male singers are second only to Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, surpassing Xu Guanjie and ranking third.

Not counting Yang Ye, this guy is not a regular singer. His last album was several years ago.

However, because of Yang Ye's existence, the Hong Kong entertainment industry did not hype the concept of "Tan Zhang Zheng Zheng".

There is a true god up there, are you two fighting over who has the hammer?
Xu Guanjie was not named the "God of Song". He was the God of Song. What about Yang Ye?
As for naming Yang Ye the "God of Song"?
He is not a serious singer. He releases at most two EPs a year, and his fans are starving to death.

He is such a shitty god who doesn't care about his own people!

……

As a singer, I still care about the Taiwan market. There are really sales there.

Therefore, Zhang Xueyou suffered a great loss.

Yang Ye couldn't let the people who followed him suffer.

Since the Taiwan market is gone, let’s use the mainland market to compensate him.

Yang Ye said: "The company plans to cooperate with the Guangzhou Record Company to release a record. Dong Han has been working on this matter for a while. Now it is basically confirmed. We are just waiting to sign the contract.

The first singer we introduce to the mainland is you. Although tapes in the mainland only cost one yuan a piece, there are many people and the sales volume is huge.

With your ability, if you release an album, sales of five million are considered relatively conservative.

After the album is successful, I can go to a concert. Although the ticket price is cheap, the place is big and there are many people. There are many places and it’s big enough!
Some stadiums in big cities, such as Tianhe Stadium and Workers' Stadium, have more than 15,000 seats.

Relatively speaking, Taiwan currently only has small venues with 3,000 people, which is simply not enough for a concert.

All in all, you can earn more by going to the mainland market, but the place is too big and running around will make you more tired. "

Zhang Xueyou is still young, in his twenties, which is when he is working hard for his career, and he is afraid of being exhausted.

He said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your cultivation. I am not afraid of getting tired!"

Yang Ye took out a stack of song lists, handed them to Zhang Xueyou, and said: "When you go to the mainland, you should sing more Mandarin songs.

The better you speak Mandarin, the more kind your fans will be to you. You have been practicing your Mandarin pronunciation recently.

You have the aura of being a Hong Konger, and the mainland people are very friendly to Hong Kong compatriots. To be honest, it’s easier to get along than going to Taiwan!

These are the songs I wrote for you. Some are newly written, and some are old Japanese songs that I wrote for Teresa Teng when she was developing in Japan.

However, I have rewritten all the lyrics. These songs are enough for you to make a Mandarin album! "

"A Mandarin album?"

Zhang Xueyou was shocked. In his previous albums, it was good for Yang Ye to write one song, but this time it was actually one song!
Damn it, you can really gain a lot if you can endure loneliness!
Young Master Yang is so kind, he never treats his own people badly!

When Baiyang Company was banned by Taiwan, Zhang Xueyou and Liu Hua drank beer and chatted all night, and finally both decided to stay.

Except that they had been following Yang Ye since they were more than ten years old. They were trained by Yang Ye and were unwilling to be ungrateful people.

They always believe that there is a future for following Yang Ye, and Yang Ye will not treat them badly!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Hua to get the movie "If There's Love" written by Yang Ye himself, and he also got super idol Zhou Huimin to star in it.

Girls' Generation is very famous in Japan, and this movie...

There is no doubt that the target is the Japanese market!
Yang Ye's meaning is very clear. Isn't the Taiwan market gone? I give you the Japanese market!

As for Zhang Xueyou’s benefits, they have not yet arrived.

But Zhang Xueyou was not in a hurry, he didn't even ask.

Now, the wait is finally here, it turns out to be the mainland market!

Zhang Xueyou tightened the playlist in his hand and saw that the first song was called... "Kiss Goodbye"!
