Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Yang Ye is very busy recently. Deng Lijun is about to give birth, so he has to take time to accompany her every day.

There are more chores in the company. After all, it is a new year and many things need to be arranged.

With less than a month left before the Spring Festival, "Rambo 2" was released in Hong Kong between Christmas and Spring Festival.

In one fell swoop, it made 2800 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which was three million more than the original time and space. Because the heroine is Hong Kong actor Chung Chu-hong, there is a bonus.

In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, it can be said that a Hollywood film can sell this box office on Hong Kong Island, which is quite impressive.

People are becoming more and more aware of Yang Ye's energy, which can actually send Hong Kong actors to the United States to work in A-level productions in Hollywood and serve as heroines in popular movies.

However, the Hong Kong box office is only a trivial matter. The global box office of "First Blood 2" grossed US$3 million.

Chung Chuhong's reputation has spread all over the world, her net worth has skyrocketed, and she has become a top actress in Hong Kong.

Now, those who left Baiyang Company because it was banned by Taiwan know how wrong they were.

Those who stayed behind began to become gods one after another in less than a year.

Liu Hua became popular in Asia and became a super idol with the movie "If There is Love".

Zhang Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye" sold 20 million copies across Asia, which is jaw-dropping.

Although half of it is contributed by the mainland, RMB is not money, right?
Zhang Xueyou took the opportunity to go to the mainland and held 30 concerts in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, attracting huge crowds of spectators and emptying out the streets.

Now, the top singers in Hong Kong are all suppressed by Jacky Cheung.

When it comes to sales, everyone here is a younger brother!
What are you doing in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Hong Kong to sell three platinums, four platinums, and five platinums? People will pay tens of millions of dollars for it. This horse...

People can't help but wonder how many things Yang Ye still has at the bottom of the box that he hasn't taken out yet?
The god-making movement is not over yet, and many projects have not yet been released. How many more people will he bring to the altar in the next year?

……

Speaking of music, Baiyang Records has lost two superstars, Xu Guanjie and Alan Tam.

Later, they signed a new artist Priscilla Chan and a band called Beyond.

Priscilla Chan released her first self-titled album "Priscilla" on Poplar Records.

In the album, "Lovesickness in the Storm", which was created by Yang Ye himself and sung by Zhang Xue's friend Priscilla Chan, has been sung in the streets and has become a must-play song for couples singing in Hong Kong KTV.

"Where Do We Meet in Life", composed by Luo Dayou and written by Yang Ye, is also a classic.

There is also a cover song "Dancing Street" which is also very popular.

"Priscilla" sold quintuple platinum sales in Hong Kong. Priscilla Chan, who debuted less than two years ago, has become a first-line female singer in Hong Kong Island.

Beyond was in a worse situation. The first album "Goodbye Ideal" released by Baiyang Records sold less than 1,000 copies and lost everything.

Baiyang Records has been established for seven years and has not signed many singers, but the records it released have been huge hits. This is the first time it has been sold out, and it failed miserably!

For a while, countless media gloated and laughed at Yang Ye for sometimes making mistakes.

The four Beyond boys were very embarrassed and felt that they had embarrassed Yang Ye. They sent a message through Luo Dayou and wanted to express their apology to Yang Ye.

Yang Ye looked confused: "What are you apologizing for?"

Luo Dayou joked: "I've broken your invincible golden body!"

Yang Ye thought: "Yes, from now on, I will no longer be the invincible God of War."

Luo Dayou said: "What do you plan to do with them?"

Yang Ye thought for a while: "How about firing them?"

Luo Dayou was stunned: "Are you serious?"

Yang Ye curled his lips: "Just talking! In fact, it's not difficult for me to make them famous. I just need to write some good songs for them.

But they are a creative band, and I signed them because of their love for music and their potential.

You go back and tell them that one failure is nothing and I won't take it to heart.

However, if they want to continue on the road of music, they still have to make business considerations.

The next time an album is released, the audience's acceptance must be taken into consideration. The company cannot let them continue to lose money!
They can make music they like, but they have to find a way to survive first. Otherwise, the business will fail halfway through. "

After hearing this, Luo Dayou was very pleased and said, "I will convey your words to them completely. By the way, when will our album be released?"

Yang Ye said: "Are you short of money?"

Luo Dayou said: "I also want to experience what it feels like to sell millions of copies of an album!"

Yang Ye said helplessly: "Wait a minute, I'm not free at the moment!"

……

As soon as Luo Da left, Wang Zuxian came and sat in front of Yang Ye, holding a cup of coffee and saying nothing.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "You're not here to drink coffee, are you?"

Wang Zuxian blushed and said, "No!"

"Then you have trouble with me?"

"Have!"

"Just tell me if you have it!"

"I can't say it!"

"This is not your character! If you don't tell me, I can leave. My time is very precious."

Yang Ye stood up and wanted to leave.

"Don't……"

Wang Zuxian quickly reached out to stop her. She was afraid that Yang Ye would really leave, so she blurted out: "Are you angry with me?"

Yang Ye was confused by her meaningless words: "For no reason, why should I be angry with you?"

"They said... you are jealous and you won't like me anymore."

"Who am I jealous of?"

"I'm jealous of Mr. Rong because I call him brother. They said... he's more affectionate than you!"

"Oh!" Yang Ye understood that this was what happened, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. The little girl looked quite nervous.

Yang Ye asked: "Who said that?"

"Yingying and the others!"

"That girl Yingying is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. You have been bickering with her for ten years, right? How can you still be tricked by her?"

Yang Ye couldn't help but touched Wang Zuxian's forehead, trying to see if she had a fever and why her IQ had dropped so drastically.

"I hate it!" Wang Zuxian pushed Yang Ye's hand away and said coquettishly: "I'm nervous about you! I'm afraid you'll ignore me!"

Damn, even the Taiwanese accent came out.

So cute!
Yang Ye said seriously: "Then you... are in love with Mr. Rong?"

Wang Zuxian said quickly: "No, I just think he is very kind, just like my brother."

Yang Ye asked again: "Then you... fell in love with me?"

"No!" Wang Zuxian denied.

"Then why are you worried about me being jealous?"

"I...will you ignore me in the future?" "Of course not. Am I such a stingy person?"

"Will... still... love me like before?"

He said these words hesitantly, and a blush flew up on his fair and tender cheeks.

Yang Ye hugged her gently and said, "Fool, of course I will love you, and I will always...will!"

Wang Zuxian sat on the chair, her head resting on Yang Ye's strong chest, feeling very warm and reliable.

Wang Zuxian really wanted to keep leaning like this. However, she soon felt that this was inappropriate.

Brother Ye...has a wife.

I...I can't do this.

Thinking of this, Wang Zuxian quickly stood up to invite him, and said in a panic: "I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he ran away, his long hair flying up, brushing against Yang Ye's cheek, carrying a girlish fragrance.

"and many more!"

Wang Zuxian was about to open the door, but was stopped by Yang Ye.

"what?"

Wang Zuxian turned around and leaned against the door, her hand still stretched behind her back, holding the door handle.

Yang Ye slowly walked towards Wang Zuxian. Wang Zuxian suddenly thought, he, he, he... didn't want to kiss me, right?
As Yang Ye's fan girl, Wang Zuxian often exchanged topics about Yang Ye with her little sisters and had various fantasies. It is not surprising to have this mentality.

She wanted to open the door and escape immediately, but she seemed to be immobilized and couldn't move.

Yang Ye walked to Wang Zuxian and stopped. Wang Zuxian lowered his head in shyness.

But I heard Yang Ye say: "I'm going to the United States in a while, will you go with me?"

Yang Ye did not take the opportunity to kiss her. For a moment, Wang Zuxian didn't know whether to be grateful or disappointed.

"What are you going to do in America?"

"There is something very interesting that you will definitely like. I will take you to see it."

"Oh!"

"That's it, I'll let you know when the time comes!"

"Oh! Then I'm leaving!"

"Ok!"

Wang Zuxian opened the door, walked out, and closed it again.

She stood leaning against the door for a while, then sighed and walked out slowly.

Her expression seemed to be one of regret.

In the office, Yang Ye also stood for a while leaning against the door and sighed.

His expression was one of regret.

"She was just standing here, motionless, begging for everything. Why didn't I take the opportunity to eat her?"

Yang Ye slapped himself and couldn't help complaining: "It's really stupider than a monkey!"

The monkey smashed the fairy and she was in a hurry to eat the peach!

I fixed this little fairy here, and she can also eat napkins!

……

The casting results for "The Last Emperor" came out, and they did not surprise Yang Ye.

Both Zunlong and Zhang Guorong failed to be selected, and Liang Jiawui was selected.

This is not surprising, because the person Bertolucci originally liked was Liang Jiahui.

The first choice is here, even if Zunlong comes, it will be useless.

Yang Ye is now curious about what the Liang family's version of "The Last Emperor" will look like!
The role of Wanrong was not unexpected, and Chen Chong was chosen.

Her conditions are great, she comes from an intellectual family, and her temperament is more suitable for Wanrong.

She is a movie queen, with excellent acting skills and very fluent English.

None of the Hong Kong actresses Yang Ye approached for auditions were her match.

As for Wenxiu, Wu Junmei didn't even come, so naturally she had nothing to do.

Zhang Min was selected, which made Yang Ye relieved. Fortunately, Bertolucci didn't choose a Japanese girl or something.

After the Liang family selected Puyi, they officially signed a contract with Baiyang Pictures. Yang Ye has added a new general, and he is very happy!

Zunlong lived in Hong Kong for more than half a month. When he learned that the audition failed, he was about to leave sadly, but Yang Ye came to visit him.

Yang Ye smiled and shook hands with Zun Long: "Mr. Wu, you have been in Hong Kong for so long, and I only have time to meet you today. I am neglecting you!"

Zunlong is a stage name, and his real name is Wu Guoliang.

Zunlong smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, you're welcome. When I was in Los Angeles, I wanted to visit you, but unfortunately I didn't get to meet you."

Zun Long is almost a good actor, because it was Yang Ye who selected him to star in "Withered Flowers", although that movie later failed to become a hit.

Yang Ye thought to himself that he was not a human being like the rumors outside. How did he manage to become a human being inside and outside?

Although Yang Ye has information about Zun Long, it is just information from all parties. It is relatively general and the real reason cannot be known.

Yang Ye didn't bother to think about such a complicated matter because it wasn't the main point. He got straight to the point: "Has Mr. Wu come back to Hong Kong to develop?"

Zunlong was stunned: "Go back to Hong Kong?"

Yang Ye said: "With all due respect, Hollywood is not suitable for the development of Chinese people. With your conditions, if you come to Hong Kong, you should be able to get more opportunities!"

Zun Long was very tempted. After all, he knew Yang Ye's power in the Hong Kong film industry.

However, he still hesitated and said: "I have signed an agency contract in the United States for less than two years."

Yang Ye said: "You signed Huang Meiyu, right?"

"Correct!"

Huang Meiyu is an American socialite. She married into a well-known American entertainment family and opened a brokerage company.

The characteristic of this company is that it only signs Chinese people and then looks for opportunities for Chinese actors in Hollywood.

Later, many Chinese actors who became somewhat famous in Hollywood, such as Zun Lung, Chen Chong, Wu Junmei, Lucy Liu... all signed with Huang Meiyu's company.

The later famous "Memoirs of a Geisha" was obviously a Japanese theme, but the three heroines were all Chinese, and it was Huang Meiyu who made it happen.

Yang Ye said: "With all due respect, the "Year of the Dragon" that Huang Meiyu helped you accept has now caused a large-scale boycott by Chinese people in North America. If you want to continue to develop in Hollywood, you can only accept such similar roles that insult China. You …are you willing to do this?”

Zunlong was speechless.

He was silent for a moment and said, "I...think about it!"

"OK!"

Having said that, Yang Ye didn't bother to say more.

The opportunity has been given, don’t stop me! (End of chapter)
