Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 42 Tokyo Dandy

Dashan Beida dismissed Chinese martial arts last year, but this year Yang Ye challenged him and defeated him with "Wing Chun".

This news spread back to the countries and regions in Southeast Asia, and the entire martial arts community was lifted up and expressed their gratitude to You.

Especially those who practice Wing Chun are really proud of themselves.

Although they didn't know where Yang Ye learned Wing Chun, they immediately regarded Yang Ye as a first-generation Wing Chun master.

Newspapers from various Southeast Asian countries and regions reported extensively on this competition.

The photo of Dashan Beida lying on the ground like a dead pig while Yang Ye celebrated his victory has become a classic scene.

Yang Ye's fans, movie fans, and book fans discovered that Yang Ye could actually fight, and they admired Yang Ye even more.

As a result, theater chains across Southeast Asia re-released the just-released "Shaolin Temple" and reaped another wave of success.

……

Yang Ye, Chen Long and others changed to a large suite. Chen Chu, the ambassador to Japan, sent bodyguards to protect them to prevent Yang Ye from being plotted.

Yang Ye has met these bodyguards and even fought with them.

Although they couldn't beat Yang Ye, their specialty was to protect their target from harm, not how good their kung fu was.

With their protection, Yang Ye felt a lot more at ease.

What Yang Ye didn't expect was that Taiwan actually wanted to send people over for protection.

But after they saw Yang Ye being protected, they retreated.

Yang Ye was a little worried that people from Taiwan would recognize the identity of his bodyguard, but then he was relieved. Comrade Jianfeng still had this pattern.

However, at Yang Ye's request, Chen Chu did not disclose the fact that he sent people to protect Yang Ye. People who did not know the inside story thought that the bodyguards were hired by Yang Ye himself.

As long as many things are not put on the table and everyone can keep a decent face, they will treat them as if they have not happened.

"Young Master Yang, who should we fight next?" Chen Long was very excited.

"Ichiro Kameda."

"Is it great?"

"His kung fu is called Beichen Itto Style, which is a famous swordsmanship school in Japan. In the third year of the Republic of China, a master of Beichen Style defeated Hao Enguang, the Xingyi swordsman of the Chinese Samurai Association, with this swordsmanship. Hao Enguang died of shame and anger."

"It sounds very embarrassing!"

"What the hell, Japanese people are just pretending to be cool. Beichen Yida-ryu, Shinto Wu-Nian-ryu, and Natural Rise-shin-ryu all sound like they're all jumping up and down, but in fact they're all stabbing each other with swords. There's no difference. Big. If the knife cuts off, just rush forward and use tortoise fists to fight. They have another name for this kind of hand-to-hand combat, called Judo. Isn’t it very high-class?”

"Uh..." Chen Long was speechless. He had heard of everything from Kendo, Judo and Karate, but he didn't expect the source to be so common. When Yang Ye explained it like this, he immediately lost his composure.

This is what happens in this world. For example, Japan's ice skating master Yuzuru Hanyu has countless female fans in China, and his traffic can rival that of the three little ones.

But what if Hanyu’s name is Ichiro Kameda?The number of fans will be reduced by at least [-]%!

Yang Ye was chatting with Chen Long when Zong Yougui came in and told Yang Ye that a visitor was coming.

As soon as Yang Ye heard the man's name, he immediately said, "See you!"
……

A few minutes later, a casual man wearing a floral shirt and a slicked back hair walked into the living room of the hotel suite.

This guy spoke fluent Chinese and shouted as soon as they met: "Yang Sang, it's really not easy to meet you. Your security personnel even searched my body."

"I'm sorry, but I have to make sure I'm safe now."

"I understand! Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Haruki Kadokawa, the heir to Kadokawa Bookstore and the youngest publisher president in Japan."

Of course Yang Ye knew who he was, a well-known playboy in Tokyo who was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, prostitution, and fighting.

But although this guy is a playboy, he is very capable.

After taking over his father's Kadokawa Bookstore, he translated the original novels of European and American movies that were selling very well in Japan and distributed them in China. The results were very popular.So he made a popular Japanese novel into a movie. After the movie became a hit, he published the novel. As a result, both the novel and the movie became a big hit.

Publish with the left hand, film with the right, and have a great time.

He is also a well-known director, and his films "Love Story" and "The Last Motorcycle Hero" are both classic Japanese films.

He is also a poet, has published a collection of poems, and won the Japanese Literature Prize.

In short, I know how to play!
Yang Ye smiled and said, "Mr. Kadokawa, what do you want from me?"

Kadokawa Haruki said: "I heard that Yang Sang is about to have a duel with Kameda Ichiro. I was the president of the kendo club when I was in college. I like kendo very much. I am looking forward to your duel."

Yang Ye said: "I don't intend to fight Kameda with a sword."

"Then what do you use?"

"stick!"

"I see, that must be the authentic Shaolin stick technique. It's really exciting!"

"Mr. Kadokawa came to see me for this reason?"

"Of course not. I went to Taiwan for business some time ago and had the opportunity to watch "Shaolin Temple" directed and starred by Yang Sang. It was really exciting! I thought that after Bruce Lee passed away, I would never see exciting action movies again. Woolen cloth."

"Mr. Kadokawa praised me, so you are here for this movie?"

"Of course, I heard that Yang Sang hasn't found a publisher in Japan yet. How about leaving it to me to distribute it?"

"You are in the publishing business, so distributing movies seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"

"I'll just buy a movie company."

"Forehead……"

Yang Ye was speechless for a moment. He was worthy of being a rich second generation, so inhumane.

"Mr. Kadokawa wants to buy a film company because of a movie. Isn't this too childish?"

"How can this be a joke? First, I like "Shaolin Temple" very much and really want to be a distributor. Second, I like movies very much and have always wanted to get involved in the film industry. Now that I am the president, I have the decision-making power to buy Is it understandable for a film company? Thirdly, the film industry is in a recession right now. Film companies as big as Nikkatsu and Dainippon are facing the risk of bankruptcy. Is it normal for me to buy one at a bargain price? "

This guy spoke so eloquently that Yang Ye could only agree: "It's understandable, it's quite normal."

"So! I have already contacted Dai Nippon Pictures and confirmed my intention to acquire it. As long as you are willing to give me the copyright of "Shaolin Temple", I will sign a contract with Dai Nippon Pictures and buy it immediately."

"Do you know my terms?"

"I know, 30% of the box office share, I agree." Kadokawa Haruki replied readily.

"Then we can draw up a contract."

Yang Ye was very happy. It was great to discuss cooperation with such a rich second generation!

Kadokawa Haruki said: "Don't worry, I have a condition. I hope that Yang Sang's subsequent works will also be distributed by me."

Um...I just praised you for your cheerfulness, so why are you starting to negotiate terms?

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "That won't work. What if you manipulate the box office to trick me? After all, the cinema is yours. You have the final say, and I can't verify it. So, I can only sign one movie with you. If If I find out you cheated on me, there will be no next time."

Kadokawa Haruki thought to himself, this makes sense.After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Well, if there is no problem with this cooperation, I have the first right to sign your next movie. Is that okay?"

"Of course there is no problem. You can find a lawyer to draft a contract."

"We have to wait, I haven't signed a contract with Dainippon Pictures yet. After your duel with Kameda Ichiro, Dainipeng Pictures will become Kadokawa Pictures. By then, I will promote your Shaolin Kung Fu to the whole world. benzene."

"Then wish us happy cooperation in advance!"
