Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

How about the plot of "A Better Tomorrow" in this time and space?

Such a popular fashion shootout movie has not appeared in five years since Yang Ye's "Terminator".

Although there were some copycats at that time, most of them were nondescript and uninteresting.

Because it was illegal to explode on the streets of Hong Kong at that time, most people were not as crazy as Yang Ye.

After all, it costs a lot of money to catch someone if something goes wrong, and the cost is too high.

Since Yang Ye borrowed Ma Ge's look five years ago, this time, when Ma Ma appeared again, the audience's dead memories were resurrected.

Yang Ye crazily slaughtered Japanese people in a Japanese-style hot spring hotel, which made the audience's hearts swell and their palms were smashed.

Especially when you kill someone and don't leave, just waiting there to refill your gun, it's so cool.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As soon as he left the tavern, his eldest brother Cheng was hiding in the dark and killed him with a cold shot.

"Damn it, this damn traitor!"

"Fucking traitor!"

"I'm holding it in my mouth. I don't want to see it anymore. I'll refund the ticket!"

"Okay, it's not like you don't know that Yang Ye will die if he makes a cameo appearance!"

"Damn it, I thought he was the lead actor, liar!"

"Don't panic, wait and see Di Long avenge him!"

Yang Ye often dies suddenly in movies, and the audience is used to it, so they continue to watch.

The subsequent plot is quite smooth and the brotherhood is very sincere.

Brother Hao rescues his younger brother at the dock, and Brother Hao grabs the disk single-handedly. Both gun battles are very exciting.

In the final battle at Xisha Bay, the two brothers worked side by side, and the scene scheduling brought John Woo's abilities to the extreme. The movie-watching experience was very good.

The audience clapped their hands after watching it, it was beautiful and enjoyable!
……

This time "A Better Tomorrow" was released, Yang Ye played a dirty trick.

As we all know, Yang Ye only stars in one movie a year.

Yang Ye regarded "A Better Tomorrow" as his starring role and promoted it vigorously and even held a premiere.

Everyone thought that Yang Ye would be the star of "A Better Tomorrow" this year.

Knowing that he was going to the resurrection stall, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all got out of the way and went to the summer stall, leaving the resurrection stall to him to show off.

However, preparations for Yang Ye's "God of Gamblers" were made quietly, and the filming did not start until ten days before Easter, and there was not even a press conference.

By the time everyone received the news, it was already too late.

In this way, "A Better Tomorrow" dominates a large time slot, and its quality is very good, so the box office will naturally soar!
……

Yang Ye denounced reporters at the premiere of "A Better Tomorrow" and unilaterally announced the ban on a newspaper, causing an uproar in society.

Major media outlets in Hong Kong have reported that terms such as "regional discrimination", "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners", and "dislike the poor and love the rich" frequently appeared in the newspapers.

Zhu Lin's fame has also increased, and everyone is asking who this woman is.

Because she is dignified and beautiful, she has attracted a lot of fans.

Some media even said that Yang Ye fell out with the media this time because of women, "turning his anger into a beauty".

Some media who were very hostile to Yang Ye even openly laughed at Yang Ye for being a "Beijing Aunt" for being willing to imitate Wu Sangui.

The discussion in the newspapers became more and more fierce, and the matter became more and more noisy. It also helped "A Better Tomorrow" to increase the box office.

This is heat, heat that can only be encountered but cannot be sought!
Yang Ye knew how to stir up trouble. He not only defended his woman, but also stood on the moral high ground.

If you slap the labels of "regional discrimination", "worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners", and "dislike the poor and love the rich", you will be sure to win.

After a week, seeing that things were gradually calming down, Yang Ye used another big move to heat up the topic again.

He appeared on ATV's talk show "Undefended Tonight" hosted by Huang Zhan, and talked about regional discrimination and racial discrimination.

This "Undefended Tonight" is different from the salty show in the original time and space. The host is only Huang Zhan, not Ni Kuang and Cai Lam.

It was opened by Yang Ye specifically for Huang Zhan. He could interview any of Yang Ye's stars and talk about anything, including meat and vegetables, as long as they were willing to talk.

Huang Zhan's advertising company closed down and he was very poor recently. Yang Ye had a good relationship with Huang Zhan, so he created a program to help him.

After a few episodes, the ratings were very good and ATV was making money. People had to lament that Yang Ye was so talented and the program he planned casually was so popular.

In the interview, Yang Ye talked about the discrimination he has encountered throughout his travels around the world.

Yang Ye said: "The first time I went to the United States was ten years ago, in 1976, when my film "Shaolin Temple" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

At that time, the American producer invited me to have a night in a bar. That bar was very interesting, and many Hollywood filmmakers liked to hang out there. "

Huang Zhan asked: "Have you met any celebrities?"

"Of course, for example, the great director Spielberg was drinking there."

"Did you come up to say hello?"

"I didn't have time to talk to him because I also saw the Cannes Best Actress, Isabelle Adjani."

Huang Zhan's eyes sparkled, he rubbed his hands and said, "French Rose, do you have a sexy story?"

Yang Ye said: "I saw Adjani sitting there drinking, so I got close to her. Adjani had never been in contact with Chinese people before, so she started chatting with me.

We talked about food and kung fu, and Adjani said she knew Bruce Lee, who was Bruce Lee, Chinese Kung Fu! "

Huang Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, Kung Fu is indeed the business card of us Chinese people.

When I travel abroad, when I communicate with foreigners, they all talk to me about Bruce Lee, Nick Young, and Jackie Chan.

In the past two years, some people have learned about Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and chongKung.

To be honest, the fame of us Chinese overseas is mostly brought about by you guys, kung fu stars. You have done a great job! "

Yang Ye smiled calmly and continued: "At this time, a black man and a white man suddenly came. You know that the United States is very discriminatory against Chinese Americans, and it even enacted the 'Chinese Exclusion Act' before.

They saw a beautiful white woman chatting happily with a Chinese man, and of course they were very unhappy, so they immediately came over to make trouble.

The black man called me a yellow-skinned monkey. He said, hey, yellow-skinned monkey, stay away from this beautiful lady. Then the white man came over and threatened me, telling me to get away, otherwise he would show me some color. "

Huang Zhan said with a smile: "Then they must have kicked the iron plate. You must have shown your Chinese Kung Fu in front of Miss Adjani, right?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course, I jumped up and kicked the black man in the face, which made his face bloom.

Then he grabbed the hair of another white-skinned pig, pulled him to the ground, and punched him in the face, breaking the bridge of his nose. "

Huang Zhan said: "White-skinned pig? Hahaha, well done."

Yang Ye said disdainfully: "Yes, it's rude to come and go without reciprocating. They discriminated first. He called me a yellow-skinned monkey, so of course I called him a white-skinned pig."

After I beat them, I clapped my hands, cleaned the pig hair from my hands, sat back and said to Adjani, Dear Isabel, where did we just talk?

Adjani said, if you have a chance, show me Chinese Kung Fu. I told her I had already shown it. "

"Hahaha!" Huang Zhan exclaimed: "That's so cool. Has Miss Adjani thrown herself into your arms?"

"This is not the point! I am not talking about this paragraph to show off, but to talk about the phenomenon of worshiping foreigners in society. It is obvious that people are very discriminatory towards you, but in the end you still have to kneel down and lick others. Isn't it mean?"

"Kneel down and lick? Hahahahaha...exquisite choice of words!"

"I found that there is a phenomenon in society. If a foreigner urinates on the street, some people will question whether there are no public toilets nearby.

But if a Chinese urinates on the street, some people will angrily curse that he must be from mainland China and has no quality at all.

If you tell him that the man defecating in the open is actually a Hong Konger, then he will say that it must be farmers from the New Territories who have moved into the city.

I just don’t understand, are you Chinese or a foreigner, white or yellow?
Why do you speak ill of your compatriots whose blood is thicker than water, and beg for mercy from foreigners who oppress and discriminate against you?
Some people said that my attack on a certain media this time was just a bit of a motive, and that I wanted to imitate Wu Sangui for the sake of a Beigu.

I'm also telling you, it's really not the case. I am targeting this ugly phenomenon of worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners in society, and I am targeting those spiritual slaves! "

"That's good. Let me tell you something. When I was in the advertising industry, I was very angry with many foreigners..."

Huang Zhan then talked about the discrimination he suffered from foreigners in the advertising industry.

Huang Zandao: "Later, during the Sino-British negotiations, Deng Bingheng, the owner of Eternal Records, decided to release a Mandarin album for singer Zhang Mingmin and invited me to help him write songs. I wrote the song "My Chinese Heart" on the spot. !”

Yang Ye said: "This song is very well written, I like singing it very much!"

At the end of the show, Yang Ye and Huang Zhan put their arms around each other and sang "My Chinese Heart" together!
"Yangtze River! Great Wall! Huangshan! Yellow River! They weigh a thousand pounds in my heart. No matter when, no matter where, I am as dear to my heart!"

"The blood flowing in my heart is surging with the voice of China. Even if I was born in a foreign country, it cannot change my Chinese heart!"

On the TV, Yang Ye and Huang Zhan were so excited that they flew into the air.

In front of the TV, a girl from mainland China watched this program and was moved to tears!

……

In this program, Yang Ye rarely expressed his position.

He also fiercely criticized the ugly phenomenon of worshiping foreign things in society.

It has to be said that Hong Kong people are quite patriotic nowadays, and Yang Ye's speech won a lot of favor.

Mainly because I was bullied so much by the British, so I feel the same way.

The generation that grew up later had never suffered from the British. They only remember how prosperous Hong Kong was back then, and since then there has been a layer of filters.

Here we can imitate Douglas Adams's "Three Laws of Technology" to create a sentence and create a "Three Laws of Society":
1. Any suffering that has occurred when I was born is only part of the inevitable stage of human history.

2. Any suffering I experienced between the ages of 15 and 35 is an eternal memory and human tragedy.

3. Any suffering that occurs in society after I am 35 years old is just unnecessary moaning.

……

Although it made some people very angry, they didn't know how to scold him because he stood on the moral high ground perfectly.

If you scold me, you are advocating for foreigners, you are a spiritual slave, and you are just kneeling down to foreigners.

As for catching Yang Ye's sore feet, this is more difficult. Yang Ye has an excellent reputation and has no black spots except that there are many women.

Today's Hong Kong media has not yet evolved to the pervasive paparazzi atmosphere of the 90s.

Yang Ye also protects his family very well. His family members are surrounded by bodyguards.

It is impossible for him to be secretly photographed. He is always accompanied by five bodyguards, who will be discovered immediately before he gets close.

……

"A Better Tomorrow" has been released for a month, and Yang Ye has been hyped for a month.

The final box office was more than 3200 million, which was still more than one million lower than the original time and space.

It seems that Brother Ma died early, which still affected the arc of the character and caused considerable damage to the plot.

But it doesn't matter, this movie has been very successful, and John Woo has completely turned around.

The most important thing is that Zhang Guorong's character design in the movie is very good, so that he does not attract evil like the original time and space.

This has greatly helped Zhang Guorong's film career. The company is selecting scripts to create new films for him and strengthen his character as a box office superstar.

Because Jack Cheung showed off his power in advance, both Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung were outclassed in their singing careers.

Alan Tam has left Bai Yang Company, Yang Ye doesn't need to worry about him.

But as the boss, Yang Ye has the obligation to maintain Zhang Guorong's superstar halo.

Because A-list celebrities are hard-earned and are the company’s cash cow.

The company must do everything possible to maintain its popularity. Once it becomes outdated, it will suffer heavy losses.

Since singing can't compete with the rising star Cheung Suet-you, let's work hard on movies.

It's a pity that I picked a lot of scripts, but none of them were satisfactory.

In this case, then... copy one!

If nothing else, "A Better Tomorrow" will become a hit in South Korea.

Yang Ye decided to strike while the iron was hot and help Zhang Guorong completely enter the Korean market! (End of chapter)
