Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

In fact, the price of two hundred dollars is still a bit cheap, but in order to seize the market, small profits but quick turnover is also a strategy.

In order to reduce costs, Yang Ye also suggested building a factory in Shenzhen.

Thanks to the technology provided by Yang Ye, China's "Shenzhou Computer" has become a force that cannot be ignored in the world's PC industry. Its products are sold in dozens of countries and have created a large amount of foreign exchange for the country.

Well, this Shenzhou computer is not the same thing as the hot chick in later generations.

After the launch of Shenzhou Computer, it also attracted a number of downstream suppliers, making Shenzhen's electronics industry begin to take shape.

The success of Shenzhou Computer inspired a large number of visionary talents to go to Shenzhen to pan for gold.

For example, Ren Shifei arrived in Shenzhen a year earlier than the original time and space and founded his Juhua Company in Longgang.

Qiu Bojun, China's number one programmer, also arrived in Shenzhen earlier than the original time and space.

The small special zone, where the dragon and the tiger meet, is about to become turbulent.

It’s time for electronic products like game consoles to be moved to China for manufacturing.

But there is no rush for this kind of thing. The back and forth negotiations will take at least a year or two.

……

Another thing that brought Yang Ye to the United States was the development of "Spider-Man".

"Alien 2" and "First Blood 2" directed by Cameron were both huge successes, so the task of developing "Spider-Man" fell on him.

Cameron was very interested in the subject of "Spider-Man". In the original time and space, he wrote the script, drew concept drawings, and did a lot of preparation work.

Since he was working on things like Alien and Predator during this period, he was influenced and planned to make "Spider-Man" into an R-rated movie.

The setting of Spider-Man spinning threads from his belly was thought up by Cameron and was later adopted by Sony.

In "Three Insects in the Same Frame" to be released in 2021, this setting was specifically complained about.

Cameron wanted to cast Tom Cruise as Spider-Man, Katharine Hepburn as Aunt May, and Schwarzenegger as Doctor Octopus.

However, due to the financial crisis of the production company, Cameron gave up Spider-Man in order to save the company, and was ordered to start filming "True Lies" to save the company.

Later, Cameron refused to give up and wanted to make "Spider-Man" again.

The star chosen this time was Leonardo DiCaprio, but it still didn't happen because the rights to Spider went to Sony.

Later, Cameron built a big ship and achieved godhood, so he didn't bother to make superhero movies.

Later, when Sony was preparing to film "Spider-Man", they believed in Cameron's vision and wanted to cast Leonardo to play Spider-Man.

However, DiCaprio also disliked superhero movies because Big Boat was super awesome, so he recommended his friend Tobey Maguire to play the role.

Maguire seized this opportunity and became famous in one battle, and the first generation of Bugs known to the public was born.

Yang Ye doesn't have any objections to Cameron's decision to make Spider-Man into an R-rated movie, so just go ahead and do it.

Yang Ye was tired of seeing little spiders rated PG-13, but he wanted to see what an R-rated little spider would look like.

Most of Yang Ye's kung fu movies in recent years are rated R in North America. The R rating in North America is restricted. It is recommended for those aged 17 and above to watch. The suggestion is not a ban, but Yang Ye doesn't care at all.

Chen Long's ratings are better, mostly PG-13, which is a special tutorial level. It is recommended for children after 13 years old to watch.

"Spider-Man" is very easy to make into an action movie, and Tom Cruise has been learning kung fu from Yang Ye for several years, so Yang Ye gave Cameron a suggestion not to waste Tom Cruise's skills.

As for Tom Cruise, he is also eager to show off his skills in movies. He also hopes that Yang Ye can hire a Hong Kong martial arts instructor for him.

Yang Ye agreed to this request, and in this way, the style of this movie was basically established.

It will be an R-rated movie that combines horror, parkour, kung fu and other elements. It will be completely different from the third version of "Spider-Man" in later generations.

United Artists Pictures gave the film a budget of US$50 million, which in this era is a proper A-level production.

As for what the movie will eventually look like, Yang Ye is not worried at all.

The movies directed by Cameron have never made a loss, it is a matter of making more or less.

……

As the plane emerged from the clouds, Yang Ye held little Yang Xi in his arms, pointed through the window at the prosperous city in the blue sea, and said, "Baby, this is Hong Kong!"

Little Yang Xi looked at the city at her feet curiously and said, "Is it daddy's home?"

"It's our home!"

……

Yang Ye promised last year that when "Kill Bill 2" is released, the heroine Adjani will appear to promote it, so naturally he will keep his promise.

This time Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong, and Adjani and her daughter also came with them.

"Kill Bill" only received HK$1800 million at the box office in Hong Kong, which is not high in this city because everyone thinks that foreigners playing kung fu are weird and a bit uncomfortable.

However, it was very good at the box office in North America, with a box office of 7000 million US dollars.

Since the first film had a lot of Japanese elements and many Japanese actors participated, the Japanese box office was also very good, with a box office of 2000 million US dollars.

It is also very good in France, with a box office of 1500 million US dollars. After all, it is Adjani's home court.

The global box office of "Kill Bill" reached 1.6 million US dollars, which is the same as "First Blood" and slightly lower than million US dollars.

These days, in terms of consumption power, Europe and the United States are still the best, but people prefer to watch movies starring their own people.

It is difficult for a movie starring Yang Ye to reach this box office.

……

On the big screen, Bill, who was hidden in the first film, appeared directly at the beginning of the second film without any gimmicks.

One viewer complained: "It's actually Yang Ye. Holy shit, are you going to be hacked to death again?" Another viewer said: "That's okay, otherwise why is it called Kill Bill?"

Soon, Adjani was put into a coffin and buried alive.

In the dark coffin, Adjani thought of the past when Bill sent her to the White Lotus Sect to learn from Bai Mei.

People were surprised to find that this woman actually had a Chinese master.

Very different from the Japanese style of the first part, the second part is all Chinese elements, and the rhythm has become much more relaxed, not like the crazy mowing of the grass in the first part.

Since there are many Chinese elements, the audience watched it with great interest.

Especially his long eyebrows, his funny and arrogant character, which makes people want to laugh inexplicably, but he is also so powerful that even Bill is scared when he talks about it.

At this time, everyone finally knew how Adjani, who was buried alive underground, should escape.

She used the strength of "Wing Chun" to break through the coffin and crawled out from the ground.

What followed was a hearty battle, and the "California Mountain Snake" Al was killed.

Adjani came to Mexico to find the final BOSS, and Bill took revenge!

……

Just when the audience was looking forward to a big battle, a duel or something.

A little girl appears and it turns out that the heroine's daughter is not dead.

Over the past few years, Bill has been living here to take care of his daughter.

Damn, this reversal is so fucking unexpected, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with it.

Your woman suddenly disappears.

You go all over the world to find her.

After searching for several months, I found out that she was pregnant and about to marry another man.

Damn it, who wouldn't be crazy?
You go there with your troops, kill all the man's family, and finally ask her for an explanation.

She said, "Bill, I'm pregnant and I'm your flesh and blood."

"What?" At this point, this shot must be fired.

……

In the final ending, the two took care of their daughter to sleep, and then sat together and chatted warmly about home affairs.

Bill had several opportunities to kill Beatrice, but he gave up.

They talked to each other and eliminated all misunderstandings, but... the duel still began.

Because Bill shot Beatrice in the head, there was no way to reconcile the matter.

The couple each held a Hattori Hanzo sword and started chopping each other at home.

However, Beatrice still hid her secret.

"Bai Mei...really taught you the Five Thunder Penetrating Heart Palm?"

Beatrice's expression was both crying and laughing: "Of course!"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know, because I... am a bad person!"

Beatrice said, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"You're such a bitch, but you're amazing and I love you!"

Bill stood up, straightened his clothes, walked five steps, and rushed to the street!

he loves her!
After killing Bill, Beatrice took her daughter away and lay in the hotel bathroom crying.

She loves him too!

It went on for a long time and was so bloody that it turned out to be a romance movie.

However, this film keeps twists and turns, and the second part explains all the doubts in the first part. The fight scenes in the middle are also very exciting, and the degree of completion is still relatively high.

After everyone read it, they all gave positive comments.

……

"Kill Bill 2" was released at the end of June, at the same time as "The Brave Two" produced by Hong Jingbo, and "Royal Rice" starring Lee Xiuxian.

However, neither of these poses a threat to "Kill Bill 2". It was not until "The Best Star" was released at the end of June that the box office of "Kill Bill 2" slowed down.

"The Best Lucky Star", as you can tell from the name, is a movie that combines "The Best Partner" and "The Five Lucky Stars Series".

The reason is that most of the profits from the movie were taken away by the production company. Hong Jingbao and Mai Jia, the two souls of the movie, got relatively little, and they felt unhappy.

Encouraged by Zeng Zhiqiang, he decided to go out and get a vote.

Zeng Zhiyi said: "Two eldest brothers, if you are willing to do it, each of you will give me seven days, and I will do the rest. You two don't have to do anything. I estimate that each of you will be able to share 10 million when you come back, and I will There are two to three million.”

Zeng Zhiqiang is still a bit awesome, he really got this thing done.

Moreover, although it took advantage of the popularity of Best Partner and Five Lucky Stars, it avoided copyright risks.

Because the movie is called The Best Lucky Star, this is not an infringement.

As for the content of the movie, Hong Jingbao and Mai Jia each have roles, which has nothing to do with the content of the original two series.

They found a new group of actors and created a funny combination in the movie.

Therefore, although Baiyang and New Art City own the copyrights of the "Five Lucky Stars Series" and "The Best Partner" series respectively, there is nothing to say. (End of chapter)
