Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 43 The Demon King of the Empire

Money ability is awesome!

Kadokawa Haruki quickly bought the on the verge of bankruptcy Konibo Pictures, changed its name to Kadokawa Pictures, and then signed a distribution contract for "Shaolin Temple" with Yang Ye, and launched an intensive promotional campaign.

The employees of Xiao Nippon Pictures and the cinemas are all ready-made. Now they just changed their names and replaced them with a wealthy second-generation boss.

Other than that, it’s business as usual, with employees beaming and more motivated.

When Kadokawa Haruki used his money power to promote "Shaolin Temple", Yang Ye also used his super power to start a duel with Beichen Ittoryu.

Kameda Ichiro used a bamboo sword, which was three feet and nine inches long.Yang Ye uses an eyebrow-level stick, five feet long.

One inch longer, one inch stronger, Yang Ye has an advantage.

This time more people came to watch the game, and even Chinese media from Singapore and Malaysia sent reporters.

The process of the competition was astonishing. Kameda Ichiro circled Yang Ye for about 40 seconds. Suddenly, he raised his bamboo sword high and slashed down quickly with a "cut off" move. Then he was shot in the head by Yang Ye with a stick.

KO!

This... the audience is dumbfounded. Why are you two making a sword and halberd movie here?It's been laying the groundwork for so long, and now it's just like this?
Suddenly, boos were everywhere!

Yang Ye doesn't care if these people boo or not?Anyway, I won.

After the duel, the Chinese media came to interview Yang Ye one after another, asking him to answer questions about how he defeated Ichiro Kameda.Why did it end with just one stick?No one understands it?
Yang Ye pretended to say, "The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast."Then he walked away in style!
……

Major newspapers in Nanyang carried out large-scale reports on this competition. Their reports were very detailed. After various detailed analyses, they came up with a lot of content.

Some newspapers said that Kameda Ichiro circled Yang Ye because he was looking for opportunities. Once he found Yang Ye's flaw, he would use Beichen's Sword Slash, which would win with one blow.

However, he found that the flaw was fake, but the flaw he found was deliberately exposed by Yang Ye, so he was KO.

Some newspapers said that from the duel between Yang Ye and Dashan Beida, it can be seen that his martial arts has reached the level of Dugu Nine Swords. He can easily see other people's moves, calmly dodge or counterattack, attack last, and be invincible in the world.

During the duel with Kameda Ichiro, Kameda Ichiro was unable to draw his sword in a circle because he realized that once he drew his sword, Yang Ye would catch the flaw.

However, he finally couldn't withstand the huge pressure emanating from Yang Ye, and drew his sword furiously.

When he gets angry, he is defeated!
Because the battle between masters is all about mentality.Yang Ye destroyed his will, how could he fight?
Some newspapers said...

Yang Ye had no time to pay attention to the nonsense in these newspapers, because something even more nonsense happened.

On the movie promotion poster created by Kadokawa Haruki, Yang Ye is actually called...the Demon King of the Empire.

What about your sister?

Yang Ye asked Kadokawa Haruki, what are you doing?

Kadokawa Haruki: "Is there any problem? You have defeated Nippon Shaolin Kung Fu, Kyokushin Katetsu, and Beichen Itto-ryu... Isn't that what Nippon's media calls you now?"

"Ah this..."

Well, Yang Ye suddenly thought of the secondary nicknames that the Japanese gave to Chinese table tennis players in later generations, such as the Imperial Destruction Dragon and the Imperial Fierce Tiger. He was speechless for a moment.

This broken country only has this kind of virtue, love it as much as you like!

During the promotion of "Shaolin Temple", Yang Ye practiced judo and kickboxing again.

On the day "Shaolin Temple" was released, Yang Ye challenged his last opponent, Aikido master Yasuo Kobayashi.

Before the duel, Yang Ye accepted interviews with the media.

"Ming Pao" reporter Cha Xiaoxin asked Yang Ye: "Master Yang, a few days ago you defeated the kickboxing master Fujiwara Toshio, known as the strongest fighter in Japan, with the twelve-way tan kick. This time you defeated the aikido master Yasuo Kobayashi. , what efforts are you going to use?"

Yang Ye replied: "Tai Chi!"

"Why Tai Chi?"

"Kinghei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, participated in the Russo-Japanese War in the Northeast when he was young. He learned Tai Chi and understood the principle of using softness to overcome strength. Then he created Aikido. It is said that a person who excels in skill is better than Tai Chi. So I am here to tell them what is Real Tai Chi!”

The process of this match once again surprised people. Originally, everyone thought that Tai Chi and Aikido were both skills that used softness to overcome strength. The fight between the two must have been slow and unspectacular.

But Yang Ye's style of play was extremely fierce, using moves, blocks and punches continuously!Turn around and beat!Elbow thump!Finger and crotch pounding!Thump!
After a violent beating, Kobayashi Yasuo was beaten over.

Overcoming rigidity with softness?

Tai Chi is so strong!

When the news spread back to Nanyang, those who practiced Tai Chi felt proud and immediately appointed Yang Ye as the Tai Chi master.He also said with some seriousness that Yang Ye was a descendant of Yang Luchan and used authentic Yang style Tai Chi.

What a load of nonsense!

If you do Tai Chi like this, those who practice Wing Chun will be dissatisfied. There is also a leaf in Yang Ye's name, which means that his mother's surname is Ye. Yang Ye's mother is a descendant of Wing Chun, and Yang Ye is an authentic Wing Chun master. , what to grab?

……

"It exploded! It exploded, Yang Sang! "Shaolin Temple" sold [-] million yen on the first day!"

Kadokawa Haruki laughed as soon as he came in, not entirely because of money, but because he was proud of his own vision.

It was expected that "Shaolin Temple" would be a big hit in Japan, so when Kadokawa Haruki excitedly received the good news, Yang Ye's reaction was very calm.

When the original film "Shaolin Temple" was released in Japan, it attracted a huge number of viewers and made a huge box office of 36 billion yen.

Now Yang Ye's film is no worse than the original time and space, and some shots are even more emotional. How could it be a hit?

What Yang Ye wants to know is whether "Shaolin Temple" can still achieve the box office results of its original release now that it has been released eight years in advance.

Yang Ye is not worried about the capacity of the Japanese market, because last year's foreign film champion was the Hollywood blockbuster "The Exorcist" with a box office of 27 billion yen.

Therefore, if the box office of "Shaolin Temple" is strong, it is possible to reach the box office of the original time and space.

Once achieved, Yang Ye became the box office champion of foreign paintings in Japanese and Japanese film history.

Japanese box office statistics are divided into Western paintings and Chinese paintings.Foreign paintings are foreign films, and Chinese paintings are local films.

The box office champion of Korean paintings is "The Sinking of Japan" in 1974, with a box office of 16.4 billion yen.

In other words, "Shaolin Temple", which was released in Japan eight years in advance, may become the film history champion in the Japanese market.

Although the original film "Shaolin Temple" did well at the box office, there was a miracle movie "ET" that year, which grossed 100 billion yen in Japan, so that "Shaolin Temple" did not win any titles.

Yang Ye is still very interested in the title of Japanese film history champion. Because with this title, he will not have to worry about selling his next film, and how much distribution fees he will save!
But Yang Ye has no time to worry about this for the time being, he has to go.

This time he went too far with his pretense, and people called him the Demon King of the Empire.

If you continue to stay in Japan, you may be blackmailed.

Now that the fight is over, Ambassador Chen's bodyguards can't always protect him.

Therefore, Yang Ye rejected Kadokawa Haruki's proposal to arrange for him to appear on TV as a program, telling him that his company had an emergency and returned to Hong Kong in a hurry.

Just show off and run away, it’s so exciting!

……

Hong Kong, Poplar Film Company.

Xia Meng said, "You're back. Newspapers write about you fighting with people every day. It makes me worried."

Yang Ye said helplessly: "To promote the movie, there is nothing we can do."

Xia Meng smiled and said: "But you have really brought glory to the country this time. Everyone is praising you as a national hero."

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Those passionate men who risked their lives to fight against the Japanese invasion were the real national heroes. I was just fighting, not worth mentioning."

Xia Meng was delighted: "You are very enlightened, Comrade Xiao Yang!"

"You learned from Sister Meng. By the way, the preparations for "Drunken Master" are all done, right?"

Xia Meng nodded: "Everything is ready, just wait for Aaron to come back and turn it on."

Yang Ye patted Chen Long on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Aaron, do your best, this time it's up to you."

Chen Long immediately expressed his determination: "Young Master Yang, don't worry, I promise to make the film well."

Yang Ye said: "There is something you have to do. I want to ask Yuan Heping's father Yuan Xiaotian to play the role of Master Su Qier in your movie. I think his image is very suitable. But he has retired for five years, so you have to We need to go with Yuan Heping to persuade him to come out."

Chen Long nodded and said: "I understand, I will go find Yuan Heping now."

As soon as Chen Long left, Yang Ye said to Xia Meng: "Sister Meng, I plan to take Jiahe to court!"

　The second update will be sent during the day. I’m too sleepy, so I need to rest first!
