Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"morning!"

Yang Ye calmly greeted the beauty beside him.

"morning!"

Zeng Huaqian responded awkwardly but politely.

He immediately turned around and covered his head with the quilt.

"It's over, it's over! How could this happen?"

I woke up early in the morning and found myself hugging my boss naked.

Zeng Huaqian thought about it carefully. Although she was groggy last night, she seemed to feel pretty good?
"Last night..." Yang Ye said outside the quilt.

"Very good!" Zeng Huaqian said in a muffled voice, covering herself with the quilt.

"what?"

"Very...good!" Zeng Huaqian lifted the quilt, said with a red face, and then covered it again.

"That's not what I meant. I drove your car last night, uh..."

Yang Ye was halfway through his words when he was stunned again. What did he mean by driving her car last night?

Hi, Zeng Huaqian doesn’t understand what “driving” means again.

So, Yang Ye continued, "You have to take me to work, otherwise I can't leave."

"Oh!" Zeng Huaqian had no choice but to sit up wrapped in the quilt after hearing this, and said a little embarrassedly, "Can you... go out first?"

"Okay!" Yang Ye found his clothes and put them on. He then found Zeng Huaqian's underwear and bra, put them on the bed for her, and left the bedroom.

Zeng Huaqian heard the door slam shut and suddenly rubbed her hair: "Oh, what should I do!"

……

Zeng Huaqian took a shower and put on some simple light makeup.

Yang Ye asked: "Is there breakfast at home?"

"Only bread!"

"also."

Zeng Huaqian took out bread and jam from the refrigerator and said, "Let me fry another egg!"

"Thank you!"

Zeng Huaqian fried two eggs and the two of them ate breakfast in silence.

Yang Ye spread jam on the bread and asked, "Have you not started work recently?"

Zeng Huaqian said: "I just finished filming "Border Town Prodigal Son" and took a few days off."

"The Swordsman" is an ancient Chinese drama produced by ATV. Maggie Cheung plays the heroine Ding Linglin, and Jiang Hua plays the hero Ye Kai.

Jiang Hua was admitted to the training class of Baiyang Company in 1985 and was signed a year later. After playing several supporting roles, he became the male lead of "Border Town Prodigal Son".

Jiang Hua's experience of entering the industry is similar to that in the original time and space, except that ATV in the original time and space was in a weak position, while the current Baiyang Company is in a strong position, and the salary and benefits are good, and the career planning for actors is also better, so he stayed in Baiyang Company to develop peacefully and did not leave.

The reason why Jiang Hua left ATV was because the salary for filming TV series was low and he wanted to make movies. However, the film industry was full of talented people and the competition was fierce. He wasted several years without making a name for himself. In the end, he returned to ATV to film TV series. It was not until 1995 that he became famous with "My Date with Spring".

Baiyang Company's film business is far ahead in Hong Kong. Jiang Hua also wants to use ATV as a springboard to break into the film industry. He won't leave even if you hit him with a stick.

This guy's acting skills and appearance are both very good, and he is especially good at playing evil and crazy characters. Yang Ye feels that he would be good at playing the role of a domineering CEO.

He is just a person who has no sense of responsibility. He had an affair with Deng Cuiwen, and after the affair, he accused Wen of being a vixen who seduced him and used him for publicity...

Shit, you've done it, you've had fun, and now you're saying on TV that someone seduced you, that's too despicable, then don't take off your pants.

Yang Ye said, "I invited you and Aying to dinner yesterday because I have a play about to start filming and I wanted you to play two roles for me."

Zeng Huaqian was really confused by this. When Director Yang starts a movie, who doesn't rush to act? It's just a matter of one sentence. Do you still need to treat me to a meal?

Yang Ye looked at Zeng Huaqian's suspicious expression and explained, "You are now considered the leading actresses of ATV and have always played the leading female roles. The roles we invite you to play this time are only the second and third female roles, so I have to explain this to you specifically."

Zeng Huaqian still didn't understand, she said: "It's already amazing to play the second or third female lead in your movie, right?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said, "This time it's not a movie, it's an urban romance drama that I'm the nominal producer of."

"Are you shooting a TV series or a romance?"

"No way? Don't forget that I wrote A Moment of Romance."

"Yes, that movie is so good that my eyes are swollen from crying."

Yang Ye swallowed the last piece of bread, wiped his hands, and said, "This drama is called "Hong Kong Love Story". Although you are the second female lead in the drama, this role is very good. I believe that after you finish playing the role, the number of men in Hong Kong who want to marry you will at least double!"

Zeng Huaqian couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't wonder!"

……

Zeng Huaqian drove Yang Ye back to the company. When they were about one stop away, she said, "Um... you get off first... okay?"

Yang Ye was a little surprised and asked: "Huh?"

Zeng Huaqian said with some difficulty: "It's not good to be seen by others that I give you a ride."

Yang Ye thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, you put me down in front."

Zeng Huaqian stopped the car, Yang Ye opened the door, and when he got out of the car, he turned around and said, "By the way, tonight is the premiere of "Diary of a Real Man", you and Aying should go together. I'll ask someone to save a seat for you."

"Okay, I heard this is a comedy?"

"Yes, 7pm, at Dong Lai Plaza in Mong Kok, remember not to be late."

After Yang Ye finished speaking, he closed the car door and left.

Zeng Huaqian was a little confused. Yang Ye has been filming a comedy and a romance drama recently. It seems like he is not doing his job properly!
Yang Ye had just stepped out of the car and walked a few steps when a female fan suddenly jumped out and said in surprise: "You are Young Master Yang!" Yang Ye nodded politely and said: "Hello, it's me!"

"I'm a fan of yours, can you sign an autograph for me?"

"Sure!" He felt around and found no pen.

The girl rummaged through her bag, pulled out a lipstick, and said, "Use this!"

Yang Ye had no choice but to take the lipstick and sign her name in her little notebook.

It was the morning rush hour and there were a lot of people going to work. Yang Ye's delay was immediately discovered by other fans, who all rushed over.

Yang Ye was startled, returned the lipstick and the small notebook to the female fan, and ran away.

"Young Master Yang, Young Master Yang..."

"Yang Juxia, don't go!"

Zeng Huaqian was sitting in the car and saw Yang Ye being chased by a large group of people and fleeing in a panic. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After laughing, I suddenly thought of what happened last night... and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Forget it, it's just a ridiculous one-night stand between an urban couple after a night out. Forget it!"

……

As soon as Yang Ye returned to the company, he saw the news about Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni's marriage in Ming Pao.

The newspaper also published a photo of James Wong and his wife with Jin Yong, Yang Ye, Zeng Huaqian and Anita Mui as a testimony.

Yang Ye smiled and called the screenwriter over to continue working on the script of Hong Kong Love.

The story background and character settings of Hong Kong Love have been completed, and now the plot is determined.

If some classic scenes in East Love were to be filmed in Hong Kong, we would have to find corresponding scenes.

For example, Yoyogi Park, where Maruko and Rika broke up in Azuma Airi, was set as Ocean Park in Minato Airi.

In East Love, Maruko's hometown, Ehime Prefecture, is where Maruko and Rika finally broke up, and the two also toured Ehime Prefecture together.

Because of this story, countless people went to Ehime Prefecture for tourism, which greatly increased local tourism revenue.

The pillars engraved with the names of Akagi Rika and Nagao Kanji in the drama have been preserved in later generations and have become a check-in spot for countless couples.

Yang Ye naturally wanted to replicate this kind of good thing. Therefore, Foshan, the hometown of Hong Kong Love Ball, was about to usher in a flood of wealth.

Foshan is the birthplace and center of Chinese martial arts, and has abundant tourism resources. When the time comes, we can let the two protagonists visit the Ancestral Temple, eat some delicious food, and then have a wonderful lion dance performance, which is guaranteed to attract a large number of people to travel.

……

Yang Ye and several screenwriters studied for a day and basically finalized the settings for all the scenes.

Yang Ye looked at the time and called it a day.

At this time, Li Zhi brought the evening paper over. Yang Ye took a look at it and couldn't help laughing.

At 11 o'clock this morning, Lin Yanni held a press conference and announced that her marriage with Huang Zhan was invalid.

The two of them...divorced.

Not only that, Lin Yanni also kicked Huang Zhan out of the house.

Huang Zhan is a playboy and a man who doesn't save money. He doesn't even have a house and has been living in Lin Yanni's house.

Yang Ye shook his head, called Chen Yulian, and asked, "Sister Lian, is your house in Meifu Xintun still there?"

Chen Yulian asked curiously, "Yes, what's wrong?"

“Not rented out?”

"no!"

"Can you lend that house to James Huang to live in for a while?"

"James Huang, what happened to him?"

"He was kicked out of the house by his wife."

"So miserable? I'll bring you the key later!"

"Then go directly to Tung Lai Plaza in Mong Kok. I'll treat you to a movie."

Seeing that the Hong Kong film market was doing well, James Wong couldn't help but think about entering the film industry to make money.

Not long ago, James Wong established a film and television company and formed two screenwriter teams, spending NT$60, with four people in each team, to adapt his book of obscene jokes, "The Uncivilized Collection," into a script.

He planned to make two films, investing four to five million in each, but he used the money to invest in movies, so filming never started.

After two years of wasted time, the film investment failed, resulting in a loss of tens of millions and the company went bankrupt.

However, the company went bankrupt, but the movie was made and turned into a series.

They are: "The Uncivilized Little Husband" (starring Zhou Haimei), "The Uncivilized Little Husband: Spring Play in Ginza" (starring Chen Yishi), "The Uncivilized Little Husband" (starring Amy Yip), "The Big Dirty Wife" (starring Cai Xinqian), and "Take You to Japan and Korea for Whoring" (a mixed-cut version of the Uncivilized series).

(Magnet searchable, just go and have a look!)

At this time, Huang Zhan was kicked out of the house by his wife because he had used all his money to invest in movies, and he had to sleep on the street.

Yang Ye had taken advantage of many good works of James Wong, so seeing that he was in trouble, he naturally wanted to help him, such as asking him to write a few more songs and asking ATV to give him more announcements.

In fact, it would be fine to give the house to him, but James Wong also wants to save face, so it would be better to lend it to him.

With Huang Zhan's talent, his downfall was only temporary and he would be able to make it back quickly.
