Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 522 I also have

Yang Ye is almost becoming a sales guarantee for the media.

The matter of the illegitimate daughter had just come to an end when Yang Ye's name appeared again on the obituary of Hu Gengnian.

Everyone has always thought that Yang Ye’s wife was Yamaguchi Baihui, or Deng Lijun, but now Hu Yinmeng suddenly pops up!
Oh shit, this turns out to be the authentic one?
This is really surprising and exciting at the same time.

Hu Yinmeng is not famous in this time and space, and most people don't know her.

Because she only filmed one movie, she stopped working and became Yang Ye's secretary.

However, she often appears next to Yang Ye, so the news media and Yang Ye's fans all know this person.

As a result, Hu Yinmeng's personal information soon appeared in the newspapers!
The campus beauty of Fu Jen Catholic University, she has only acted in one movie and has been with Yang Ye ever since.

He has been unknown for more than ten years and is both Yang Ye's assistant and his agent.

Holy shit, this is so exciting.

It turns out that Yang Ye had been involved in scandals with so many people, and everyone was guessing, but the ending was so unexpected?

It's like reading a detective novel and finally finding an unexpected answer.

The onlookers read with great interest, and the newspaper sales naturally increased greatly.

This is what entertainment figures are like. One person can support a large number of people and provide topics of conversation for countless people after dinner.

If there were no interesting gossips about celebrities in this world, wouldn't people's lives be much more boring?
Yang Ye was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, so he just let them write whatever they wanted.

He calmly helped Hu Yinmeng deal with her father's funeral, and also took the time to give some guidance on Aaron Kwok's first album.

The album "I Can't Stop Loving You" was originally produced when Aaron Kwok went to Taiwan to shoot a motorcycle commercial, but he unexpectedly became popular because he was so handsome.

So the Taiwanese company decided to promote him, found Feidie, and after a brief period of Mandarin and vocal training, released this album.

In fact, Aaron Kwok's singing of this song sounds like shit, his Mandarin is not standard, and it sounds weird.

But with his handsome face, iconic dance, and youthful vitality, he is bound to be famous!
Speaking of which, Aaron Kwok is much stronger now than he was in the original time and space!

Before his debut, he worked as a trainee for several years and received complete vocal and dance training, and also practiced Mandarin.

Coupled with the popularity brought by the two hit TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Hong Kong Love", as well as the recent "A Moment of Destiny", if this album is released while the heat is high, sales will definitely explode.

……

Hu Gengnian held some status in the party. After his death, his coffin would be covered with the patterns of blue sky, white sun and red ground.

Many high-ranking officials in the province came to pay their respects, and Hu Yinmeng knelt there to respond.

Yang Qing was still young, and it was impossible to ask her to kneel there all the time, so Qu Shifang held her in his arms and sat on a chair nearby.

The person who read the eulogy recited the life story of Hu Gengnian. After a lamentable opening speech, he began to flatter and extol Hu Gengnian in various ways. Even Qu Shifang was said to be a virtuous woman who supported her husband and raised her children.

Qu Shifang listened patiently for a long time, and couldn't help but curse: "What nonsense!"

Hu Yinmeng couldn't help laughing when she heard this. As far as she could remember, her mother had always been sitting at the mahjong table and had never come down.

A good wife and mother? How absurd!

This kind of occasion was quite solemn, and Hu Yinmeng did not dare to laugh out loud, and she was shaking all over.

Seeing her daughter laughing secretly, Nie Shifang couldn't help laughing too. Seeing her grandmother and mother laughing, Yang Qing also laughed.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren dressed in funeral clothes turned the tragedy into a comedy in the mourning hall.

Yang Ye thought it was outrageous, so he held back his laughter and walked over to say, "Be serious, this is outrageous!"

Hu Yinmeng sighed and said, "I just think these red tapes are hypocritical and ridiculous, and totally unnecessary!"

Yang Ye asked: "Then what do you want?"

Hu Yinmeng said: "It would be better to be like the Greek Zorba, whose funeral should be completed in the moonlight and with wine and dancing!"

"That makes sense. I'll write a happy song later. When I die, you can beat gongs and drums, sing songs, and send me to the crematorium in a grand ceremony, and burn me into ashes!"

"What happens after the burning?"

"Let's go somewhere where there's no one."

Hu Yinmeng covered her mouth and smiled: "You are very open-minded. I will definitely do it!"

Yang Ye touched Yang Qing's little head and said, "I just don't know if Qing'er agrees or not!"

"I'll make her agree!"

"Then you have to live longer than me."

"Don't worry, you are such a playboy, you will die of exhaustion sooner or later!"

……

After Hu Gengnian's death, the Legislative Yuan gave him a pension of more than NT$2 million.

Hu Yinmeng figured out what his father meant and decided to give the money to his stepmother.

Qu Shifang pretended to agree, but immediately swallowed the money.

Hu Yinmeng was furious and had a big fight with her mother. She took the money back and gave it to her stepmother.

Now that Hu Yinmeng followed Yang Ye, she was much richer than in the original time and space. Yang Ye thought she would just let it go and compensate her stepmother with her own money.

Unexpectedly, she still had a quarrel with her biological mother and helped her stepmother get money.

Yang Ye couldn't help but sigh: "You really have principles!"

Hu Yinmeng said: "Of course, Aunt Hua has been taking care of my father during his paralysis. This small amount of money is not enough to repay her."

After saying this, he casually took out double the money and gave it to his mother, which made Yang Ye laugh and cry!
Asking for money is a principle, giving money is filial piety. After all, you are closer to your biological mother.

"Will you come back to Hong Kong with me?"

"I'll take Qing'er to accompany my mother for a while."

"That's good, so that the Hong Kong media won't cause trouble for you and your daughter!"

Yang Ye bid farewell to Hu Yinmeng and her daughter and returned to Hong Kong.

...Hong Kong Coliseum!

The 8th Academy Awards in the original time and space, and the 9th Academy Awards in this time and space.

Last year's Taiwanese films were lackluster. At the Golden Horse Awards, Alex Law and Ann Hui's "Seven Little Fortunes" won seven awards.

The remaining awards were mostly divided among Hong Kong films.

Therefore, almost no Taiwanese films were nominated for this year's Academy Awards.

However, the organizing committee still selected "Cross-Strait" and gave it several nominations as a way of giving face to Taiwan.

Despite this, the competition for this year's Academy Awards is fierce enough.

"Rouge", "Seven Little Fortunes", "As Tears Go By", "My Sassy Girl" and "Red Sorghum" are all hot favorites to win.

"Rouge" is adapted from Li Bihua's novel, starring Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui. It has great box office and reputation, and is a rare masterpiece among Hong Kong romance films.

Li Bihua can be said to be a treasure writer in Hong Kong. Many of her novels, such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Green Snake" and "Rouge", have been adapted into movies and have become masterpieces.

"Seven Little Fortunes" is the third film by Alex Law and Ann Hui. It tells the story of the Seven Little Fortunes, including Sammo Hung and Chen Long, who were learning their craft when they were young. Sammo Hung plays his master Yu Zhanyuan.

This movie won seven out of nine nominations at the Golden Horse Awards last year, and is also a favorite to win at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards.

"As Tears Go By" is the directorial debut of Wang Jingwang.

He made a gangster film with the temperament of an art film, which had good box office and good reputation, thus attracting the attention of the film industry and making him come to prominence.

"As Tears Go By" has two other great contributions:

First, this movie was a watershed in Zhang Manyu’s acting career; she finally got it!

Second, Zhang Xueyou contributed a classic emoticon package in this film: Shit on you!
After the success of "As Tears Go By", Alan Tang was full of confidence in the King of Sunglasses and supported him in filming "Days of Being Wild", which lasted for two years.

The investment was increased again and again, from a few million to 4000 million. When the film was finally released, the box office was less than million. Deng Guangrong went bankrupt on the spot and was so angry that he was hospitalized.

It goes without saying that "My Sassy Girl" was popular throughout Asia and "Red Sorghum" became a hit in Berlin.

As for "God of Gamblers 2" starring Yang Ye, although it had a high box office and Yang Ye tried his best to delete the overly dragged plot in the original film, it was still rated as a rambling money-making bad movie and did not get a single nomination.

……

When Yang Ye came today, apart from being assigned the task of being the award presenter, he just sat in the audience and clapped his hands.

Sitting with him and clapping was Chen Long, who was also assigned the task of being the award presenter.

However, Chen Long's "Police Stories 2" was nominated for Best Action Director, which is slightly better than Yang Ye.

Two perverts sat together with nothing to do, so they naturally started talking about women.

Chen Long talked about Yang Ye's recent romantic affairs and was deeply impressed. He couldn't help but ask Yang Ye how he made those women so devoted.

Yang Ye shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if I'm devoted to you. But my attitude towards women is different from yours."

Chen Long thought, what's the difference? Don't you also have sex with every girl you meet?
Every time I see a beautiful woman and want to make a move on her, I have to find out first if she has been harmed by you.

He asked, “What’s the difference?”

Yang Ye said: “You pick up girls, just like a bear breaking sticks. Break one, chew two bites, throw it away. Break one, chew two bites, throw it away!”

"Uh..." Chen Long was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, who were sitting behind them, heard it and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chen Long looked a little embarrassed and asked, "What about you?"

"As for me, I like a woman. To me, she is like a dazzling treasure, so I will naturally take good care of her."

"Then you're being too protective!"

"Then there is nothing I can do. The beauties in this world are like pearls, diamonds, agates, and crystals... Each has its own beauty, and I can't let go of each one. So I have to take them all. Would you think you have too many treasures in your home?"

Chen Long said sarcastically: "I see, you really are a great collector!"

Mei Yanfang thought Yang Ye had some profound ideas, but it turned out that he just treated women as objects, just more precious. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Soon, the award ceremony began.

This year's Best Newcomer award was given to David Wu, a newcomer signed by Xu Feng, who played the second male lead in Ann Hui's new film "My Fair Princess".

"The Stars Shine Tonight" is a political film that received four nominations this time, but the heroine of this film is no longer Lin Qingxia.

After the release of "Terminator 2", Lin Qingxia's value skyrocketed. The budget of this kind of low-cost art film was not as high as her salary, so she could no longer be hired.

Yang Ye has been presenting the Best Newcomer award for several years in a row, and this year he finally changed the person.

Next were some technical awards, and "Red Sorghum" won the Best Cinematography award right off the bat.

The Best Art Direction Award went to "As Tears Go By" and the Best Editing Award went to "Rouge".

Next was the Best Visual Effects award, which was given to "The Sentimental Swordsman", which was the last film released by Poplar Pictures in 1988 and the finale.

With the help of Ziqi Company, Xu Ke used "bullet time" to display "Xiao Li Flying Dagger", achieving amazing visual effects.

With the added bonus of two action stars, Jet Li and Zhen Zidan, the film won the Hong Kong Christmas box office championship in 1988.

Later, Shi Nansheng took "The Sentimental Swordsman" to West Berlin and sold the copyright for more than 13 million US dollars.

The Best Visual Effects award is now the internal award for Zi Qi Company because they have no competitors in Hong Kong.

Unless someone goes to Hollywood to hire a special effects team, there is no way these Hong Kong filmmakers would be willing to spend such money.

The competition for the subsequent Best Action Director award was very fierce. The Cheng family team, the Hong family team, the Liu family team... all competed with each other, and in the end the Cheng family team won the award.

Chen Long happily went on stage to receive the award.

When he came back with the award, he was on stage to present the Best Original Score, which was won by Zhao Jiping of Red Sorghum, a master in the film score industry who produced countless classics.

"Farewell My Concubine", "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Water Days" are all his works.

Next was the Best Movie Song. Yang Ye’s name was called out on the stage, and the theme song of My Sassy Girl, “I Believe”, won the award.

Yang Ye was delighted and said to Chen Long, "So I have a share too!"
