Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

In the dead of night, the squids in the sea were attracted by the lights on the boat and swam up one after another.

They surrounded the cruise ship, emitting tiny dots of fluorescence, turning the sea water into a brilliant starry sky.

No girl can resist such a spectacle. Zhang Min couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

"Minmin!" Yang Ye called her.

"Ok!"

Yang Ye put his hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear: "Can I kiss you?"

After saying this, he looked into Zhang Min's eyes affectionately.

Zhang Min's eyes were full of sparkling beauty with a hint of shyness. Although she didn't nod, she obviously agreed.

Yang Ye was very happy. He lifted her chin, kissed her gently on the lips, and then let her go.

Zhang Min was full of girlish feelings. When Yang Ye said he wanted to kiss her, she was a little nervous and shy.

Who knew that Yang Ye really just gave her a light kiss and let her go.

Zhang Min couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and secretly complained: "He really keeps his word. He said he would kiss once, and he only kissed once."

The two of them lay side by side on the deck and watched the stars. Yang Ye said, "ATV's Yi Tian has started filming. I want to recommend you to play Zhao Min. Are you interested?"

Zhang Min was delighted that Yang Ye was still thinking about her, and quickly said, "Yes!"

"Well, then you should prepare yourself. It would be best if you could read the original novel."

"I know!"

"Go back to the cabin and rest, it's cold outside!"

"Oh!"

It’s not that Yang Ye didn’t want to eat Zhang Min right away, but he had just eaten Kudo Shizuka, and the little girl was very clingy to him, so he needed to digest it.

Wait a minute, good things are worth waiting for!

……

The script for the ATV version of Yitian has not been completed yet, but the cast has already been announced.

Leon Lai plays Zhang Wuji and Jiang Hua plays Song Qingshu.

The sisters who played Zhang Wuji were: Sharla Cheung as Zhao Min, Gigi Lai as Zhou Zhiruo, Shu-zhen Qiu as Xiao Zhao, and Shizuka Kudo as Yin Li.

After the lineup was announced, it sparked some discussion among columnists in newspapers.

Because Shizuka Kudo is a foreigner, but she played a Chinese role seriously.

For a long time, Japanese people came to Hong Kong to make movies, or they played Japanese people.

Otherwise, in some pornographic films, because the scale of the scenes is too large, Chinese people are unwilling to act in them, so they find some Japanese AV actresses to act in them.

For example, in the 1950s' "Jin Ping Mei", Li Xianglan was chosen to play Pan Jinlian.

In other words, the first Pan Jinlian on the big screen was played by a Japanese.

That version of "Jin Ping Mei" is also the most explicit version ever, on the same level as Japanese infantry films.

All later versions are about younger brothers!

In fact, the Baiyang Company has long openly hired foreigners to play Chinese actors.

Yuki Amami appeared in Girls' Generation's debut movie "Happy Ghost".

"Happy Ghost" later had two sequels, in which Choi Jin-sil and Kudo Shizuka starred.

Some time ago, Choi Jin-sil also co-starred with Jang Guk-yong in "Unforgettable Lovers".

After the film was released, it earned 1800 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, and the copyright for overseas markets was sold out in minutes.

However, this is the first time that foreigners are openly used to play important roles in a super popular drama like Jin Yong's.

Due to the huge amount of doubts, Yang Ye had to personally publish an article in Ming Pao to explain:

Hollywood can attract actors from European countries, and even from South America and Asia, to pursue their dreams.

Many people get good opportunities in Hollywood, for example, Chen Long was very successful in starring in Western films in Hollywood.

Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, so why can’t it attract talent from the surrounding areas?
Is Hong Kong less tolerant than Hollywood? I don't think so.
There is a Confucian cultural circle in East Asia. Within this circle, China, including overseas regions such as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and other countries all have the same or similar culture.

Poplar Pictures' goal is to become an international film company.

We attract talents from all over the world, both in front of and behind the scenes.

We are willing to give them opportunities and help them make a name for themselves.

Among the film and television works produced by Baiyang Company, there are of course many local artists, but there are also many from other places.

Jet Li is from mainland China and Zhen Zidan is from the United States. They are both top-notch action movie actors.

Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian and others are from Taiwan, and Wu Dairong is from Singapore.

Of course, these people are all Chinese.

There are many others, including Japanese, Koreans, and even Europeans and Americans. As long as they have the right image, we are willing to use them.

Hong Kong is an inclusive and international city with citizens coming from all over the world.

The same is true for Baiyang Company. We adhere to the spirit of "embracing all rivers and being great because of tolerance".

I believe that only in this way can the title of “Pearl of the Orient” and “Oriental Hollywood” be worthy of its name!

……

After playing the youngest sister in "ET the Extraterrestrial", Gigi Lai worked as a child star for several years and filmed many movies.

Later, when life at home got a little better, Yang Ye suggested to her mother that Gigi Lai go back to school.

If she wanted to be an actor, she could wait until she was in middle school and use her spare time to attend the training class of Baiyang Company. Her mother naturally did so. Now that Gigi Lai had graduated from middle school and failed to get into college, she could just act!

Gigi Lai was flattered to be chosen by Yang Ye to play Zhou Zhiruo right after her debut. She went to the Daguan Studios to thank Yang Ye in person for giving her the opportunity.

In fact, Yang Ye just followed the casting of Jet Li's later version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, without giving it too much thought.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "I watched you grow up, act well and don't let me down!"

"I will, Uncle Yang!"

"When they were little, you called me brother, but now you call me uncle. Am I that old?"

"Hehe, then I'll call you Brother Ye like Sister Yingying and the others, okay?"

"This is the right thing to do."

Yang Ye was casually chatting with Gigi Lai when the makeup artist came over to report: "Young Master Yang, Jiaxin's makeup is done!"

Yang Ye nodded and said loudly: "Everyone take your positions and get to work!"

Gigi Lai was curious about what kind of movie they were filming, so she didn't leave and went to a corner to watch it.

……

Li Jiaxin had already put on her zongzi makeup, but because the equipment was too heavy, she had to be supported by someone.

This is a set of Queen Jingjue's costume. When worn by Li Jiaxin, it is even more stunning than the later ones.

Bibi's appearance is still good, but not as good as Li Jiaxin. Her figure is also too petite and not as tall as Li Jiaxin.

So, wearing the same outfit, she is a little worse than Li Jiaxin.

In Yang Ye's version of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", the opening paragraph is strengthened.

Because he had to consider the filming of the sequel, and when he filmed "The Lost Tomb" later, it had to match the opening part.

In addition, since the audience is not familiar with the story of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", Yang Ye has to shoot the opening section in more detail.

I would like to take this opportunity to provide some scientific knowledge related to the tomb-raiding lieutenant to save the audience from being confused.

Beautiful women also need to dress up. Li Jiaxin is wearing such a cool outfit, she is so beautiful that you can't look at her closely.

For a moment, both Cherie Chung and Gigi Lai at the scene seemed a little overshadowed.

Li Jiaxin was supported by her assistant and walked slowly. When she passed by some men in the crew, some of them began breathing heavily.

Yang Ye couldn't help curling his lips, thinking: "She is a big zongzi, you guys didn't even let the zongzi go, aren't you too zombie-like?"

Hey, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with zombies attacking zombies, right?

Li Jiaxin is a beautiful person who knows she is beautiful and is very confident about her looks. Seeing many men staring at her, even her breathing became heavy, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Unfortunately, Yang Ye didn't react at all, which made her feel a little disappointed.

How could she know what kind of beauties Yang Ye hadn't played with? His immunity was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Yang Ye is not a zombie, so he naturally won't be unable to control himself from Li Jiaxin's rice dumpling look.

Yang Ye pointed to a pipe in the middle of the studio and said, "Jiaxin, lie down in there!"

Li Jiaxin uttered an "oh". She really didn't want to sleep in a coffin, but she didn't dare to resist. With the help of her assistant, she slowly climbed into the coffin and lay down.

Yang Ye took out a scarf, covered Li Jiaxin with it, and said, "Jiaxin, when I lift the scarf, you open your eyes, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Open your eyes first and let me see!" Yang Ye said, covering Li Jiaxin with a veil, and then slowly uncovering it.

Seeing this, Li Jiaxin quickly opened her eyes.

Yang Ye shook his head and said, "You can't open your eyes casually, you have to open them slowly and with a smile. We have to show that kind of extreme beauty and extreme horror, understand?"

Li Jiaxin has no talent in acting, and is the same kind of person as the later generations.

Yang Ye needed to explain it again and again and demonstrate it in person before she could understand.

To be honest, the reason they can make it in the entertainment industry is really because of their looks.

This is what the saying “As long as Yan lives, the country lives” means.

Of course, that face is fucking fake, it's totally cheating.

Li Jiaxin's face is natural, a complete winner!
Speaking of acting, another Hong Kong beauty, Rosamund Kwan, is really much better than her.

Rosamund Kwan is not only beautiful, but also very filial and straightforward. She speaks her mind without playing tricks. Yang Ye still likes Jiahui a little more.

Yang Ye explained it for a while, and even personally lay in the coffin to pretend to be a big zongzi, and then announced: "Everyone take your positions, and start shooting!"

In the southeast corner of the tomb, a candle was lit.

Yang Ye was lying on top of the coffin, and was about to reach out his hand when suddenly the candle flame shook slightly.

This is because of a little breeze blown by the staff. It will take some time for it to turn green.

Standing in the corner, Chung Chu-hung said, "If you don't touch the gold when the cock crows and the lights go out, give up!"

Hong Jingbao on the other side quickly complained: "Hey, hey, we have gone through so much hardship to get here. We can't let this cooked duck fly away, right?"

Zhong Chuhong said seriously: "Hu Bayi!"

Yang Ye hesitated for a while, but finally reached out and lifted Li Jiaxin's veil.

Li Jiaxin slowly opened her eyes and smiled slightly.

There is an extreme and enchanting beauty.

Thrilling, creepy... (End of this chapter)
