Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

For the role of Puyi, Bertolucci's original choice was Liang Jiahui, because he played Puyi very well in "Fire Dragon"!

However, Bertolucci had conflicts with Liang Jiahui's mentor Li Hanxiang.

Li Hanxiang wanted to make Puyi's "The First Half of My Life" into a movie, but the copyright was bought by Bertolucci in advance.

So Li Hanxiang started anew and bought the copyright of "The Second Half of His Life" written by Puyi's wife after liberation, Li Shuxian, and made it into "Fire Dragon".

The name Fire Dragon means that in the past, emperors were buried in the ground, but Puyi was cremated. He was a cremated dragon.

The first half of Puyi's life was very exciting, with three ups and downs. The second half of his life was relatively dull.

So Li Hanxiang got the copyright for the second half of his life, but he secretly filmed a lot of things that happened in the first half of his life.

Bertolucci was very dissatisfied with this, believing that Li Hanxiang had infringed his copyright, and protested against Li Hanxiang.

Liang Jiahui was a grateful person. Since his mentor and Bertolucci were unhappy, he refused this great opportunity.

Bertolucci regretted this very much. He loved Liang Jiahui's performance very much and would never forget it.

Later, Jacques was asked to prepare for the filming of "The Lover" and needed to find a Chinese to be the leading actor. Bertolucci introduced Liang Jiahui to his old friend.

In fact, as far as Yang Ye is concerned, he thinks it's best to find an ugly man to play Puyi, because Puyi is really not that good-looking. It would be a great compliment for him to be played by a handsome man like Zun Long.

However, when making a movie, the protagonist still needs to be pleasing to the eye in order to make money at the box office. No one has trouble with money.

……

After Tony Leung Ka Fai refused to play Pu Yi, Bertolucci began to interview actors, and the first person to interview was Zun Long.

Bertolucci thought it was great, it was him.

But the old man felt that it wouldn't be so easy, would it be found in one go?
I'll look for it again!
After searching for more than two months and interviewing many actors, I still think Zun Long is the best.

As a result, the most glorious page of Zun Long's acting career was achieved.

Zun Long is not easy to evaluate.

If his life could be summed up in one sentence, it would be... He was not human inside or out.

John Lung was born in Hong Kong. He was an abandoned baby and was adopted by a disabled old woman from Shanghai. At the age of ten, he was sent to the Spring and Autumn Drama School to study opera.

If he follows the normal process, he will probably enter the Hong Kong entertainment industry like Chen Long and Hong Jingbao and start as a dragon and tiger martial arts master.

Because he is handsome and has a background in opera, it is not difficult to become famous in the Hong Kong film industry.

At the age of seventeen, Shaw Brothers was ready to sign a contract with him to become an actor and make movies.

However, at this time, an American couple took a fancy to him and sponsored him to go to the United States, so he gave up the opportunity to join Shaw Brothers.

After working in the United States for several years, Zun Long still embarked on the path of actor, and became famous in Hollywood with the movie "Year of the Dragon".

However, this character is very stereotyped and was boycotted by Chinese people in North America, so he has a very bad reputation among Chinese people in North America.

There are really no opportunities for Chinese people in Hollywood. At this time, Hong Kong film industry dominates Asia, so after Zun Lung became famous with "The Last Emperor", he wanted to return to Hong Kong to develop.

As a result, she and Xu Feng had a very unpleasant quarrel because of the "Farewell My Concubine" incident.

The casting incident of "Farewell My Concubine", who is who and who is who, has become confusing to this day. In short, this matter has become Zunlong's nightmare, and he will be asked about it wherever he goes.

By this time, we had entered the 1990s, and the structure of the Hong Kong film industry had become established. There was no room for him as an outsider, and he had lost the opportunity to develop in Hong Kong.

After the millennium, Zunlong wanted to come to the mainland again and took over the filming of a movie "Entertaining Yourself". The heroine was the music queen Li Wen.

This movie is very down-to-earth. It tells the story of the director of a township cultural station who gathered villagers to make a TV series.

The subject matter is really good, and the filming is just okay. The problem lies with the two leading actors.

Zun Long and Li Wen, two Americans, insist on playing the roles of township cadres and village girls in rural China. There is really something wrong with them, and it looks awkward no matter how you look at them.

Li Wen is a little better, at least her Mandarin is very good.

Zunlong can't speak Mandarin, so he learned it hard to come to mainland China to film.

While watching this movie, listening to his plastic Mandarin made me want to hack him to death.

Let’s not talk about how the movie will turn out. The biggest problem is... his American agency is too pretentious.

When the movie premiered, John's American management company believed that it was necessary to show John's appearance as an international superstar, and asked the Chinese company to hire 200 bodyguards to pave the way for John.

The Chinese company did as they were told, and the show was lined up, but the Chinese audience didn't know Zun Long at all and no one paid any attention to him.

The premiere was deserted, and there were not as many viewers as Zun Long's bodyguards.

This naturally became a laughing stock, and was ridiculed by the mainland media and netizens. Zunlong could only return to the United States sadly.

In this way, Zunlong's life went in circles, from Hong Kong to the United States, and from the United States back to Hong Kong.

I traveled to both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, but nowhere was I satisfied.

Finally sadly retired from the film industry.

……

When Bertolucci arrived in Hong Kong, filming of "A Better Tomorrow" had been completed and a rough cut was produced.

Baiyang Company held an internal film viewing party.

Yang Ye walked into the screening room, where the creators of "A Better Tomorrow" were already waiting.

Yang Ye smiled and greeted everyone: "Brother Di Long, Lao Xu, Nan Sheng, Lao Wu, Rong Shao, Xiao Xian, you are here very early!"

Everyone also smiled and greeted Yang Ye.

Yang Ye sat down in his seat, and Zhang Guorong said to him: "Young Master Yang, I heard that you wrote a very powerful song recently?"

Yang Ye said: "It's not bad, you also got a very powerful song, right?"

Zhang Guorong smiled and said: "Uncle Zhan helped write it, I like it very much!"

Zhang Guorong's new song is naturally the theme song of "A Better Tomorrow", "The Love of the Past", which can be regarded as one of Zhang Guorong's masterpieces in his singing career.

Huang Zhan and John Woo have a very good relationship. Huang Zhan wrote this song for Wu Yusen for free to commemorate the unchanging friendship between them.

Yang Ye said: "By the way, Italian director Bertolucci has come to Hong Kong. He wants to start filming "The Last Emperor". He is now looking for actors for Pu Yi and Wan Rong. Are you interested in auditioning?"

"The Bertolucci who shot "Last Tango in Paris"?"

"yes?"

"Playing Puyi?"

"That's right!"

Leslie Cheung looked expectant: "I remember that his movies must have meaty scenes, right? Will this one have it? Who is the heroine?"

Yang Ye covered his face, Damn, who is this person...

Yang Ye said: "I don't know about this, let's see what the director arranges!"

"When are the auditions?"

"next week!"

"Then I'll go take a look!"

Yang Ye nodded and asked Wang Zuxian: "Would Xiaoxian want to try it?"

Wang Zuxian was eager to try: "Who should I try? The Queen?"

Leslie Cheung's eyes lit up: "I play the emperor and Xiaoxian plays the queen. I feel good!"

Yang Ye said angrily: "We can still let you two perform meaty scenes, right?"

Wang Zuxian blushed, but Leslie Cheung said seriously: "I think Xiaoxian and I should be more popular as an on-screen couple."

Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "If you want to play the queen, Xiaoxian is a bit young and doesn't match Wanrong's temperament. You can try Wenxiu."

Wang Zuxian asked: "Who is Wenxiu?" Yang Ye said: "Pu Yi's concubine."

Wang Zuxian curled his lips: "Concubine? Not interested!"

Wang Zuxian was raised by Yang Ye and had a carefree personality. He had no scruples in front of Yang Ye and said whatever he wanted to say.

Yang Ye said angrily: "You still choose? He is an international director, it would be great if you can play a supporting role. And it's just an interview, I don't know whether I will take you or not!"

Wang Zuxian pouted: "You hit me!"

"Damn!" Yang Ye had a headache.

But the way she pouts is so damn pretty.

Pretty girls always get preferential treatment, even if they are acting petty, men will be very happy to see it.

With beautiful women, even bickering is a fun thing.

Pull down the ugly girl!

At this time, the door to the screening room opened, and a few more girls walked in, all members of Girls' Generation.

Of course they came to support Wang Zuxian's new film.

There were these little girls in the screening room, and it was quite lively.

After they greeted the others politely, they gathered together and chatted non-stop.

Wang Zuxian said quietly that Brother Ye would arrange for her to audition for "The Last Emperor".

Others quit and said, "I want to go too!"

Yang Ye had no choice but to say: "Go all, go all! But the ugly words come first, I won't let you through the back door. Don't cry if you don't try!"

Yi Nengjing snorted: "Since you are going to audition, of course you are relying on your own ability. Who wants you to go through the back door?"

After Yi Nengjing and Yang Ye got better, relying on Yang Ye's favor, they gradually began to have sex.

Yang Ye didn't take it to heart. Whatever she did, she would never be able to do it with Guan Zhilin.

But I thought in my heart: "It's your back door. Dad wants to take a look!"

However, Xiao Qiang, who was usually the most troublesome, was very quiet, sitting obediently to the side, looking like a little lady.

Contrary to Yi Nengjing, the little girl has become a lot gentler recently since her relationship with Yang Ye.

Yang Ye secretly smiled in his heart. A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. I don't know how many days she can keep pretending.

Not long after, Xia Meng, Xu Feng, Jiang Zhiqiang, Chen Ziqiang and other company executives also arrived in the screening room.

Directors such as Xu Anhua and Johnnie To also came to observe.

There were so many people watching the movie together, which made John Woo a little nervous.

He has been on the street for four or five years, and he has lost every film he makes. If he is on the street again this time, he will really have nothing to do.

When Yang Ye saw that people were almost here, he said, "Let's start the screening!"

……

The beginning of the movie is no different from the original, except that the scene of printing counterfeit money is a little more elaborate.

As soon as the scene of Yang Ye wearing sunglasses and lighting a cigarette with U.S. dollars was shown, Girls' Generation girls suddenly transformed into Yang Ye's fans and screamed in surprise.

"Dad...brother, you are so handsome!" Yi Nengjing, who took the initiative to sit next to Yang Ye, hugged Yang Ye's arm and said.

She almost spilled the beans, and both herself and Yang Ye were shocked.

This kind of "abnormal love between father and daughter" cannot be seen in the light!
Fortunately, the little sisters in Girls' Generation were having sex, so they didn't realize there was any problem!
Next came the scenes between Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian.

Wang Zuxian was very cute in the movie. When arranging flowers, he cut off all the flowers with a click, leaving only a stem.

There were all kinds of embarrassing situations in the cello exam, which made several beautiful girls laugh.

While laughing, he teased Wang Zuxian: "Xiaoxian, you are so embarrassed!"

Wang Zuxian refused to accept it and said fiercely: "I am cute, okay? If you don't believe me, ask my brother, am I cute?"

Yang Ye and Zhang Guorong said together: "Cute!"

"Huh?" After saying this, the two of them were stunned.

Wang Zuxian snorted and quickly explained: "Brother Ye, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Young Master Rong."

Wang Zuxian explained that it turned out that Leslie Cheung took good care of Wang Zuxian during the filming, which made Wang Zuxian feel that he was very kind, just like her brother, so she simply called him brother.

Yang Yexin said, wasn't this the only time I was asked to work on "A Chinese Ghost Story"? Why are you calling now? No matter what, you have to call it like this sooner or later.

When Wang Zuxian called him, other girls from Girls' Generation also called him, and Zhang Guorong's "brother" name was born in advance.

The movie continues, and next is Brother Hao taking his eldest brother Cheng to Tokyo for business, but was betrayed, injured and arrested.

Yang Ye came to Tokyo to avenge Brother Hao!

With an uninhibited smile on his lips, Yang Ye hugged a Japanese girl and came to a hot spring hotel.

Kudo Shizuka exclaimed: "Matsuda Seiko!"

She couldn't help but glance at Yang Ye's back, and said to her heart: Brother Ye is so awesome, even Seiko Matsuda came to help him make a cameo.

Yang Ye touched Seiko Matsuda's buttocks while hiding the pistol in a flowerpot in the aisle.

The door was pushed open, and Yang Ye's smile turned into a cold murderous intention.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

The enemies were shot and fell one after another, their plasma surged, and the tableware on the table burst, shattered, and splashed.

It's like playing a shooting RPG game, with a thrilling feeling.

The little girls were about to stop breathing. At this moment, Yang Ye seemed like a god descending to earth, his whole body was glowing.

After running out of bullets, Yang Ye threw away his guns and turned around to leave!

He calmly shook up his windbreaker and calmly took out another gun from the flowerpot.

bang bang bang bang...

The enemies who caught up rushed to the street!

After all the enemies were dead, Yang Ye threw the gun to the ground, held a match in his mouth, took out the last gun from another flowerpot, and stood quietly.

This place is the coolest.

Calm and calm.

The heart has the Tigers, fine sniffing the rose!
His eyes were determined and cold, waiting for the surviving soldiers to crawl out and then shoot them in the head.

Then he walked over slowly, scanned the battlefield, calmly finished off the enemies, and only left slowly after making sure there were no survivors.

With a wave of his hands, his windbreaker floated up in the wind, looking so handsome!
The little girls in their teenage years covered their mouths with excitement and were about to sit on the ground to ovulate.

Kudo Shizuka was sitting in the back row and whispered: "It would be great if the woman Brother Ye hugged was not Seiko Matsuda, but me!"

Tianhai Yuxi joked: "You also want Brother Ye to touch your butt?"

Kudo Shizuka said nonchalantly: "Just touch me, I am willing. If Brother Ye wants to touch me, I will let him touch him as much as he wants!"

Tianhai Yuxi covered her face: "You are such a little prodigal!"

"Ouch!" Kudo Shizuka suddenly exclaimed.

On the big screen, Yang Ye had just won a great victory and walked out of the hotel when he was shot dead by his elder brother who was hiding in the dark.

"Oh my God, it turns out he is a traitor!" (End of Chapter)
