Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Yang Ye did what he said, and the next day he found Director Wu Shaozu of the National Sports Commission and asked to donate a small target.

Wu Shaozu was stunned after hearing this!

In order to host the Asian Games, the central government allocated 700 million yuan, but it was far from enough.

Wu Shaozu was worried to death about money.

Today, the Asian Games projects, including the National Olympic Sports Center and the Athletes Village, have just broken ground on hundreds of hectares of cropland at the northern end of the central axis of the capital.

At the same time, a number of supporting projects have been launched, and most sections of the North Fourth Ring Road need to be completed before the Asian Games.

Every time a project breaks ground, money is spent like water. The construction of 700 million yuan will be completed in less than a year. What will happen next?
Yang Ye’s 100 million is simply a timely help.

Wu Shaozu held Yang Ye's hand and said a lot of words with gratitude.

For Yang Ye, the money earned in China is of no use. The RMB exchange rate is artificially high and is actually worthless. There is not much money in exchange for it, so it is better to stay in the country and spend it.

How to spend it? Some of it is used for investment, and some of it is simply donated.

Yang Ye spoke calmly: "Director Wu, we are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. We are one family after 97, and we have no distinction between each other.

The Asian Games is a major event for the country to showcase itself to the world. We Chinese should have the money and strength to contribute.

Not only did I donate money, I also composed a song specially for the Asian Games. "

This song by Yang Ye is not the famous "Asian Heroes", but "Hand in Hand", the theme song of the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

"Hand in Hand" was composed by Italian Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by American Tom Whitelock, and sung by Korean group Koreaa.

It is known as the most classic and most successful theme song of all previous Olympic Games and is the ceiling of Olympic songs.

Olympic Committee President Samaranch even considered making this song the permanent anthem of the Olympics.

After the song was released, it quickly became popular all over the world with its touching lyrics and intimate melody.

This song hasn't come out yet, and Yang Ye has censored it. As for the theme song of the Seoul Olympics, what should I do? Nothing to do with Yang Ye!
The lyrics and music of this song are unparalleled and full of great love. After it was submitted, the Asian Committee was overjoyed.

After a discussion at a meeting, they all felt that this song was so good, and they quickly decided it would be the promotional song for the Asian Games.

They even want to directly set it as the theme song of the Asian Games, but it is too early now, and it has not yet reached the stage of collecting theme songs. We will talk about it later.

The song was written by Yang Ye, and the money was also donated by Yang Ye. In the past year, Yang Ye has become extremely popular with many movies released in China.

The Asian Committee did not regard Yang Ye as an outsider, and enthusiastically invited Yang Ye to sing this song.

Well this...

Yang Ye thinks, the song is called "Hand in Hand", how boring is it to sing it alone?

Later, the Koreana group, the singers of the Seoul Olympics, was sung by four people.

Yang Ye asked: "Can I find a few more people to sing?"

The Asian Committee replied; "No!"

Because these days, in general, mainland China is rejecting pop music. There is a hard and fast rule: three pop singers cannot perform on the same stage.

This Yang Ye is not convinced, why?

Yang Ye suddenly thought of something:

As 1986 was designated as the Year of World Peace, Michael Jackson's "We Are The World" came out, calling on 45 American singers to sing together, which shocked the world.

Affected by this, Luo Dayou composed a song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" and invited 60 Chinese singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia to sing together, which also caused a sensation in the Chinese world.

Later, mainland composer Guo Feng was influenced by this and gathered a hundred mainland singers to sing a song "Let the World Be Full of Love".

This song left a profound mark in the history of Chinese pop music and became a pioneer in breaking the prejudice against "popular music".

It makes people realize that pop music can also interpret big themes, spread positive energy, and convey the power of love.

Soon after, the Ministry of Culture expressed support for the singers' actions and staged a large-scale concert called "Let the World Be Full of Love."

At this point, Chinese pop music has officially entered the public stage and ushered in its own spring.

The song "Let the World Be Filled with Love" has been deleted by Yang Ye for many years.

In 1977, when Yang Ye held a world tour concert, the theme was "Fill the World with Love".

Now, without this song, this event that changed Chinese pop music might not be possible.

Yang Ye thought to himself: "To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. I am destined to do this!"

Without "Let the World Be Full of Love", "Hand in Hand" can be just the replacement!
Yang Ye told the Asian Committee: "The Asian Games is a grand event that all Chinese people should participate in. Can we break the stereotype and gather our singers together so that we can sing a song together to cheer for the Asian Games?"

The Asian Committee was obviously very moved by Yang Ye's proposal. Yang Ye added: "We are a charity song, not a commercial performance. Isn't this considered a violation?"

Finally, Wu Shaozu said to Yang Ye: "Mr. Yang, your love for the Asian Games and China's boxing is very touching. I fully support this matter. If there is pressure, I will bear it!"

Yang Ye said sincerely: "Thank you!"

……

Although Yang Ye is not from the mainland, he is a god-like figure in the mainland entertainment industry.

He ascended to the top and shouted, and he also had the gimmick of singing for the Asian Games. Singers from all over the world put down their work and quickly gathered in the capital.

Cheng Lin, Zhou Feng, Guo Feng, Li Na, Lu Nianzu, Cheng Fangyuan, Shen Xiaocen, Tian Zhen, Zhu Mingying, Cui Jian, Mao Amin, Fu Disheng, Li Lingyu...

In just one week, one hundred singers gathered in the studio of China Audio and Video Corporation.

After watching "Hand in Hand" composed by Yang Ye, everyone was very moved and admired Yang Ye's musical talent.

Without further ado, after a while of pleasantries, the recording officially started.

Yang Ye is an international superstar and takes the role of commander-in-chief without hesitation.

Although there are many people, it is not difficult for Yang Ye.

Although he had hardly met these singers, he quickly grouped them up and started recording.

When recording songs, Yang Ye made full use of everyone's timbre, using solo, lead, duet, chorus, and chorus, and the conductor was determined and orderly.

It only took three hours to record the classic song "Hand in Hand", a chorus of 100 people.

……

When recording songs, these singers also performed some unique behaviors, which seemed to be deliberately resisting authority.

Cui Jian danced the moonwalk, which was extremely avant-garde at the time, as if no one was watching.

Sun Guoqing wore toad glasses, one of the symbols of the 1980s, from beginning to end.

Wei Wei let her hair down to sing. Because there are regulations that female singers cannot let their long hair down on stage...

"Seeing the sacred fire dyeing the sky red, we felt our hearts beating together.

Let us hold our heads high and keep our glorious moments in our hearts forever.

Hand in hand, we travel around the world.

Let us create a beautiful home together.

We hold hands and are connected heart to heart.

Breaking down all the barriers, our hearts are connected forever..."

“Hand in hand we stand (we stand hand in hand)

All across the land
We can make this world a better place in which to live (we can make the world a better place)
Hand in hand we can (hand in hand, we can)
Start to understand
Breaking down the walls that come between us for all time Hand in hand"

……

The last note fell silent.

Amidst the surging harmonies, some singers burst into tears.

Yang Ye finally said: "Thank you for coming all the way to record this song together. I am very touched.

I believe that the future will get better and better, war will be far away from mankind, people of all countries will live in harmony, and the world will be filled with peace.

This is not empty talk, it is our beautiful vision for the future. Thank you again! "

Yang Ye's speech won warm applause.

Cui Jian, the future godfather of rock music, said with some regret: "This is really a good song with a universal feel. It would be great if we held the Olympic Games."

The implication is that this song is a waste when used as a promotional song for the Asian Games.

The influence of the Asian Games is still small. If it were the Olympic Games, people around the world could hear this song.

Let the people of the world know the Chinese people’s dream of peace and great harmony!

……

"Hand in Hand" was released by a Chinese record company and quickly caused a huge sensation across the country and won rave reviews.

Many people will be moved to tears when they listen to this song.

As Yang Ye hoped, after the song was broadcast, it quickly attracted the attention of the Ministry of Culture.

And decided to hold a "Hand in Hand" star concert in May 1986 at the Beijing Workers' Stadium. All the singers participating in the recording were invited to participate!

At the 100-person concert, the strange rule that "three pop singers cannot perform on the same stage" was broken!

As the initiator of this recording, Yang Ye has won the collective tribute of the Chinese pop music world and has an extremely lofty status.

……

After sprinting like a storm, Yang Ye entered the time of the sage.

"Go wash up and come talk to me."

Chen Chong went to clean up and then lay obediently in Yang Ye's arms.

Yang Ye pinched her white big snow son and said:

"Italian director Bertolucci plans to start filming "The Last Emperor." Although it is about the story of Pu Yi, it is an English film.

You are the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award and your English is very fluent. I will arrange for you to interview the heroine Queen Wanrong. You must seize the opportunity. "

"Bertolucci?" Chen Chong was very surprised when he heard this.

Bertolucci is a world-renowned director, and Chen Chong certainly knows that.

"Bring me my bag!"

Chen Chong quickly went to the bedside to get Yang Ye's bag and handed it to him.

Yang Ye pulled out two things from inside, handed them to Chen Chong, and said: "This is the script, and this is Wanrong's information. Write it down and figure out the role. Maybe you can become famous in the world with this role. Also, I Don’t tell anyone about the script given to you, that’s cheating.”

Yang Ye made Chen Chong so mysterious that he quickly took the script and said gratefully: "Thank you!"

In fact, Yang Ye has never read Bertolucci's script at all, but he has read "The Last Emperor", and it is very easy to come up with a script.

Yang Ye also knew that given Chen Chong's conditions, he would definitely be chosen by Bertolucci to play the role of Wanrong, and then become famous in one fight.

Yang Ye was just pretending to do these things. He knew everything, but Chen Chong didn't. This was the information gap.

Chen Chong would only think that Yang Ye had arranged all this for her, so she would be grateful to Yang Ye and become dependent on Yang Ye.

"You are my woman, as long as you are willing to follow me obediently, I will not treat you badly!"

"I will!" Chen Chong leaned on Yang Ye's chest and whispered.

Chen Chong has very complicated feelings towards Yang Ye.

In her eyes:
Yang Ye took away her virginity and was the devil who made a deal with her.

He was the benefactor who reminded her on the spring evening to prevent her from saying the wrong thing and saved her life.

He is a financial owner with huge energy who can give her a chance and help her rise to the top.

He is a man who can bring her perverted pleasure and make her extremely happy.

Yang Ye looked at the lovable Chen Chong and became interested again. He patted her buttocks and said, "Get down and stick your butt out!"

Chen Chong lied down as instructed, but Yang Ye said: "You have to say, yes, master!"

Chen Chong hesitated for a moment, then said with a red face: "It's... the master!"

"very good!"

Yang Ye was very satisfied. Although it was difficult for Chen Chong to say this for the first time, she would get used to it soon!
……

Hongkong!

Yang Ye smiled and shook hands with Bertolucci: "Mr. Bertolucci, welcome to Hong Kong!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang. I like your movies very much, especially "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"I also love your movies, especially Last Tango in Paris."

Both of them are great directors. After blowing a few rainbow farts at each other, Bertolucci got to the point: "Mr. Yang, I hope you can combine the two books "The First Half of My Life" and "The Last Dusk in the Forbidden City". Copyright transferred to me."

Yang Ye said readily: "No problem, but I want the distribution rights for the movie "The Last Emperor"!"

Bertolucci said: "Yes, but there is a premise, you can't dictate my movie."

Because Bertolucci didn't want Hollywood to dictate to him, he gave up the readily available Hollywood investment, and finally got 2500 million US dollars from the British Doo Film Company and Japan's Shochiku Pictures.

Although Hollywood eventually got involved, by that time the movie had basically taken shape and Hollywood could no longer interfere.

"The Last Emperor" not only did well at the box office, but also won nine Oscars. Nine out of the nine, Yang Ye certainly wanted a piece of the pie.

Not only do you need to invest, but you also need to put people into the movie.

Yang Ye said indifferently: "I am also a director, I can understand your intention, I completely agree, and I will never interfere with your creation!"

Bertolucci smiled: "Thank you very much, and I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Yang Ye was not in a hurry to shake hands with him, but said: "Mr. Bertolucci, I am more familiar with Chinese actors than you are, and I would like to recommend some actors to you!"

Bertolucci frowned and said, "Mr. Yang, you just said you wouldn't interfere with my creation!"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "I'm just recommending actors to you. They are all capable actors with excellent acting skills and fluent English. You can interview them. It's up to you whether you want them or not. I won't say a word more."

Bertolucci thought: "That's okay. Yang Ye is the overlord of the Chinese film industry. With his recommendation, it will indeed get twice the result with half the effort."

He smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, are you interested in playing Puyi?"

Yang Ye shook his head: "Pu Yi is a poor man. I make action movies. The audience has a stereotype about me. If I act, it will be a disaster for this movie!"

Bertolucci just tried it out, and he was so stupid that he asked Yang Ye to play Puyi, and the two happily reached a cooperation agreement.

Later, Yang Ye began to arrange actors to interview Bertolucci! (End of chapter)
