Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

PS: Minghui’s underwear photos cannot be posted, so they are placed in the Q album!
……

Zeng Huaqian gave birth to a boy, and Yang Ye named him Yang Zhao.

There are not many characters with the Sun radical, so Yang Ye does not pursue using Sun radicals for boys and Sun radicals for girls. As long as there is Sun, it is fine.

As for why he has to go against this word "日"... maybe he just likes "日"!
This is Yang Ye’s ninth child, a bit too many, but not too many.

Musk has been revealed to have twelve children, let alone Yang Ye, a Chinese who believes in having many children.

In fact, Yang Ye in the original time and space was self-sterilized.

This is different now, that is different now!

Yang Ye held the little guy in his arms and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have to go. Many people are waiting for me in the Soviet Union!"

Zeng Huaqian said "hmm", but asked: "What should I do with my family?"

Yang Ye thought for a moment and asked, "What are your plans?"

Zeng Huaqian said: "I am going to... tell my dad and mom the truth."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "When I come back, I will visit your dad and mom."

Yang Ye did not escape and was willing to take on the responsibility of being a father. For Zeng Huaqian, this was already the best outcome.

……

At this time, Hollywood has already announced that "The Last Emperor" has won all nine nominations, sweeping the 60th Academy Awards and taking home the two major awards for Best Picture and Best Director.

"Terminator 2" was shelved by United Artists, and only won "Best Visual Effects" out of four nominations.

Yang Ye was not present, so the award was accepted by Xie Yi.

After winning the Academy Award, the screening schedule of "The Last Emperor" increased again, and it eventually grossed $4400 million in North America.

Yang Ye had been holding back on the overseas rights to "The Last Emperor" and had only released it in a few countries, waiting for this day.

He even held back the copyright of "Autumn Fairy Tale" and did not sell it.

"An Autumn's Tale" has so far only been shown in Chinese theaters in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia and North America.

At the subsequent "Hong Kong International Film Festival", "The Last Emperor" became a hot commodity and everyone rushed to buy it. The copyright fees sold reached as high as 1500 million US dollars.

Including the box office share from North America, Mainland China and Japan, the profit exceeded 4000 million US dollars, which was a huge profit.

As Liang Jiahui starred in "An Autumn's Fairy Tale", it also benefited from the success and successfully sold the copyright for more than 7 million US dollars.

It made a profit of over 10 million US dollars, becoming the most profitable Hong Kong romance film to date.

Previously, Yang Ye ordered that "Autumn Fairy Tale" be suppressed from sale, and the people at Baiyang Distribution Company were quite puzzled. Now they finally understood.

It turned out that Yang Ye was certain that "The Last Emperor" would win the award, and he was determined to let "An Autumn's Fairy Tale" take advantage of the popularity.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Yang Ye's vision!

In fact, for Yang Ye, he doesn’t really care whether "Autumn Fairy Tale" sells a few million more or a few million less. This amount of money is nothing to him. What he cares about is the influence.

The higher the copyright fee a film producer spends when purchasing a movie, the more importance it will attach to the movie, and the larger the scale of the movie's distribution will be, allowing more people to see the movie and increasing the influence of Baiyang Pictures.

As a result of the long-term release of high-quality films, over time, Baiyang Pictures' brand will become more and more famous.

At this point, "The Last Emperor" has won nine Oscars, nine Italian David Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, three British Oscars and one Japanese Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, a César Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and a European Film Award.

It is covered with buffs and is making great strides in the global market.

4400 million US dollars in North America, 24.5 billion in Japan, 70 viewers in South Korea, 1950 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong...

The global box office exceeded 100 million US dollars, setting a box office legend.

You have to know that this is just a biographical movie, with no cool actions, no fancy special effects, and no touching love.

With the popularity of the movie, Liang Jiahui became famous all over the world and became an international movie star.

Xu Ke and John Woo were so happy to have invited Leung Ka Fai to star in "A Better Tomorrow" in advance that they couldn't stop smiling. They also had to admire Yang Ye's foresight.

In fact, John Woo admired Chow Yun-fat very much and always wanted to find him to film a movie.

Unfortunately, the two sides were in different camps, so he was unable to invite Zhou Runfa to be the leading actor, which made him quite regretful.

But as "The Last Emperor" swept the Oscars and raked in the global box office, that regret disappeared completely.

After The Last Emperor, all the film producers around the world know Leung Ka-wai. Wouldn’t the copyrights be sold at a high price then?
Besides, Liang Jiahui’s acting skills are also top-notch!
Really fragrant!

……

In Taiwan, the new clique used "Terminator 2" as a weapon and started bombarding the old clique, causing a huge uproar.

In their mouths, Yang Ye is a national hero. The movies he made have swept the world and brought honor to the Chinese people. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to be released?
He has never done anything to let Taiwan down.

There is also Lin Qingxia, the heroine of "Terminator 2" and the pride of Taiwan.

But she can't go back to Taiwan, is this reasonable?

What did Lin Qingxia do wrong? She just went to the mainland to look for her relatives.

The two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been separated for forty years. Who doesn’t miss their loved ones?

Isn't this human nature?
Lin Qingxia risked her life to go to the mainland to find her relatives because her parents missed her so much. This shows that she is very filial and brave.

But the old crotch banned her for this reason. Is there any morality? Is there any humanity?

I have to say that the new leader is really capable. He wielded the big stick of justice, nation, morality, and family affection, and beat up Li Zhengnan who had just taken office.

Li Zhengnan was beaten so hard that he was covered in dirt and had no power to fight back.

I have to say, the entry point of Xindang is really good!
Who wouldn’t feel the same way about the veterans who have been trapped on the island for 40 years and not allowed to go home, missing their families every day? Just one year ago, those veterans launched the “Free Return Home Movement”.

They gathered thousands of people, wore "Homesick" shirts, took to the streets and distributed leaflets!

Those leaflets all had words like "I have been looking across the strait and missing my family for forty years" and "It's been forty years, let me go and go home" written on them.

They are old and just want to go home. They want to see their loved ones before they die. What's wrong with that?

They were right, and in the end they realized their wish to go home.

Lin Qingxia was even more right. For the sake of her parents, Lin Qingxia risked her life to go to the mainland to find her biological sister. She was very brave and a very filial person!

Suddenly, Lin Qingxia surpassed Yang Ye and became the protagonist of this incident.

Lin Qingxia is beautiful, brave, filial, and the pride of Taiwan.

Isn't it ridiculous that such a person is forced not to return to Taiwan?

Countless people felt the same way and were moved by it, and some even took to the streets to protest against the authorities' ban on Lin Qingxia.

If the situation continues, the old clique’s base will be shaken.

At this time, "The Last Emperor", which swept the Oscars, took advantage of the situation and quietly applied to be released in Taiwan.

There was no obstruction and I passed smoothly.

"The Last Emperor" caused a sensation as soon as it was released in Taiwan, setting off a movie-watching craze and grossing NT$1.2 million, becoming the first film in Taiwan to break the NT$ million box office.

The Wushe Uprising directed by Yang Ye is not counted, as the combined box office of the two parts exceeded 100 million.

The production company of "The Last Emperor" is Baiyang Films, and the starring actors include Liang Jiahui who was banned in Taiwan, as well as a large number of mainland actors.

What does it mean that this can be released?
Upon seeing this, the Xiang brothers quickly took out "The Devil's Jade" which they had filmed three years ago and applied for it to be released in Taiwan.

The film starred Liu Hua and Zhang Min, but before it could be released, Baiyang Pictures was banned.

The Xiang brothers were worried about offending Taiwan, so they kept the film in the warehouse and did not dare to release it.

This time the application was approved again!

Although the Taiwan authorities have not made a clear statement, it is obvious that the seal... has been lifted!

All of a sudden, all the major film companies in Hong Kong rushed to Bai Yang Agency.

I hope to invite Jet Li, Zhen Zidan, Zhang Guorong, Liu Hua, Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian... to film!
Yang Ye, who got the news, couldn't help but sneer.

What a waste!

It would be better to lift the ban publicly, which would be considered responsible.

Doing it secretly like this will only make people laugh at you.

It's like a hopeless case. No wonder he was hung up and beaten by a new guy.

……

Jean-Jacques spent a long time collecting folk songs in the Soviet Union.

It also took a long time to collect and make various props.

The crew invited professional experts in World War II military uniforms and weapons to pay attention to every detail to ensure that no mistakes would occur.

For example, the cuffs of Soviet political workers had a red star and party emblem instead of just the rank insignia.

The First Class Order of the Patriotic War came with a ribbon, instead of the current common version, and research has also been done on how the medal should be worn.

In comparison, similar works are full of commemorative medals, cap badges are randomly nailed on, collar badges are too large or not sewn evenly, and the styles are confusing, making the difference obvious.

Jean-Jacques is indeed a detail maniac!

The script was drastically revised. Apart from retaining some classic duel scenes from the original film, many details were completely different.

Because this is no longer the story of Vasily Zaitsev, but the story of Semyon Nomokonov.

In fact, the original version of "Enemy at the Gates" has little to do with Vasily Zaitsev, he can only be said to be a prototype character.

For example, the movie said that Vasily was a handsome guy, so the Soviet army promoted him, but in fact Vasily was an ugly guy.

The movie says that Vasily is illiterate and can't write, but in fact he is quite cultured.

Then all the deeds were nonsense, and now after changing the prototype, it is still nonsense.

As for the plot, it’s enough to have a good show. After all, this is a feature film, not a documentary.

……

There is one thing that some people may question:
The protagonist of the original version was a white person, but now he has been replaced by a yellow person. Can this story still hold true?
Would white people let a yellow person be a hero? Would they not discriminate against him? Would they even promote him? How is this possible?

Here we need to talk about the Soviet Union’s ethnic policy.

For example, the Russian Federation does not have its own republic-level State Security Committee (KGB), Ministry of Internal Affairs, Academy of Sciences, nor its own television channels and radio stations, while other republics have these.

Even in the United Nations, Ukraine and Belarus have their own seats, but Russia does not.

The Russian Federation is the largest republic in the Soviet Union, but it is the most misnamed and least powerful republic.

So, even if the protagonist is replaced by a person from Northeast China, the story will still happen, and the protagonist will still be promoted as a hero, there is no problem.

In fact, Semyon was a Soviet hero at the time and was widely publicized.

The Soviet Union published several books specifically promoting him!
Later, Russia even made a TV series about him! (End of this chapter)
