Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"Zhang Guorong sheds tears at the Golden Melody Awards, fans loudly ask her to stay!"

"Golden Melody Awards surprise, newcomer Pan Meichen wins the Golden Melody of the Year!"

"Teresa Teresa returns to the music scene and wins Album of the Year!"

"Xu Xiaofeng won the Golden Needle Award, and hundreds of singers signed autographs to bid farewell to the 1980s!"

Yang Ye was eating the breakfast made by Zhang Minyi while flipping through the newspaper.

News about the Golden Melody Awards made the entertainment headlines of major newspapers.

Overall, the first Golden Melody Awards after the reform was very successful.

Last year, many classic songs and good albums were released, which greatly increased the value of the Golden Melody Awards.

The awards were well-deserved, and many famous scenes occurred.

For example, Zhang Guorong said goodbye with tears in her eyes, and fans loudly tried to keep her. And everyone signed their gold records together.

It can even compare to the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, TVB Jade Solid Gold Awards, and Commercial Radio's RT-Mart Music Awards that were held some time ago.

Yang Ye finished flipping through the newspaper and finishing the porridge in his bowl. He put down the bowl and said, "Big sister, this year's Golden Melody Awards was really well organized. They beat TVB and the others!"

Zhang Minyi smiled and said, "It was all your idea. Adding subcategories and signing the gold record at the end to bid farewell to the 1980s were all great ideas."

"It's not bad. Adding subcategories is just a copy of the American Grammy Awards, and signing farewells is just a routine part of the game."

Yang Ye did not take credit for it, and Zhang Minyi also knew that this matter was nothing to him, so she did not say anything more.

Yang Ye suddenly thought, should I get a piece of paper media?

Yang Ye has a magazine called "Blue Bird Pictorial", but that thing is a doll newspaper that sells comics. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a media.

In fact, Yang Ye was not very interested in running a newspaper because he didn't think much of the money.

Ming Pao is one of the largest newspapers in Hong Kong. It made a profit of HK$7000 million last year, which is less than the monthly advertising fee of Star TV.

Yang Ye wanted to enter the media industry for another purpose.

Although due to the rapid development of the mainland, last year was calm and nothing happened.

But Fei Li still sold his shares in Giordano Clothing, cashed in HK$16 billion, founded a weekly magazine, and entered the media market after the Spring Festival this year.

This mad dog is so desperate for sales that it bites anyone it sees.

Huanggua Li and Shao Daheng were both bitten by it and lost their temper. Hong Kong entertainment stars have suffered even more.

Fei Li’s style of play was very despicable, and he did something big right after the publication.

He caught a cucumber and started biting it.

He said that Huanggua married his cousin in order to seize his cousin's property, and that his cousin did not die of natural causes, which completely exposed Huanggua's true feelings.

Huanggua was furious and filed a lawsuit, and the lawsuit with Fei Li lasted for a long time.

However, this kind of lawsuit is protracted and even if he wins, he won't get much compensation. Instead, it fueled Fei Li's popularity and helped increase sales of his magazine.

After all the hard work, Fei Li made a fortune.

An entertainment tycoon like Yang Ye would inevitably be targeted by Fei Li, and the celebrities under Yang Ye would naturally not be spared.

Fei Li had no bottom line in doing this kind of thing. He used his high salary to create the "paparazzi trend" in entertainment news.

He organized a team of paparazzi to follow celebrities closely, surveillance them 24 hours a day, and even traveled thousands of miles to foreign countries to track and photograph them. He would also disguise himself and enter other parties' organizations for undercover investigations.

The photos that confirmed Anita Mui and Zhao Wenzhuo's romance were taken by paparazzi under Fat Li from Malaysia.

Due to the uproar, Zhao Wenzhuo, who had just arrived in Hong Kong from the mainland, could not bear the pressure and the two eventually broke up.

Mei Gu later talked about this matter and felt very sorry because she could have been Mrs. Zhao.

Moreover, the angles of Fei Li's paparazzi's photos are quite obscene. They specifically focus on the female stars' private parts and use very eye-catching headlines. Once a star is exposed, it is almost socially fatal.

For example, the exposure of Lin Feng's bed photos almost made Lin Feng collapse, "Lin Feng Dijingyuan secretly hides a lustful woman!"

Exposing the romance between Aaron Kwok and Lynn Hung: "Linda Hung slaughtered the city for 33 hours!"

Exposing the love triangle between Aaron Kwok, Lynn Hung and Gou Hui-yun: Call it a "Gou-Xiong battle!"

After Aaron Kwok and Lynn Hung broke up, he dated Fang Yuan, and it was revealed again: "Aaron Kwok secretly met with a 33C young model for six days!"

To be honest, as a spectator, it's really funny. No wonder the sales of this crappy magazine are exploding.

But... when it happens to me, it's not funny at all.

Huanggua, Run Run Shaw, and those celebrities hated Fei Li with all their might, but they were helpless. Yang Ye actually didn't have any good solution either.

After much consideration, Yang Ye decided to get rid of Fei Li once and for all.

Yang Ye had only killed one person in his life, and that person was just a minor character, and he was killed on the high seas by the hand of Yang Dengkui.

Later, he also repaid Yang Dengkui with many benefits.

With 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars in his hands, Fei Li was already considered a wealthy man, and he had a good relationship with the Hong Kong government.

This kind of person cannot be touched easily. Killing him is a small matter, but it is not worth it to get yourself covered in blood.

If you want to kill him, you can't ask others for help, or hire someone to kill you, as there's a risk of the news leaking out.

Yang Ye planned to do it himself and make sure that no one outside could suspect him.

This is difficult, but Yang Ye has already thought of a solution, he just has to wait for the right time.

Before Yang Ye took action, Fei Li could still jump around for a while.

During this period, Fei Li will continue to stir up trouble.

Even if Fei Li died, his business philosophy would completely change the ecological environment of Hong Kong's media industry.

Starting from him, all kinds of weird magazines such as "East Weekly", "YES", "Suddenly Weekly", "Oriental News"... emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Each one is more obscene and vulgar than the other.

If Yang Ye was not the person involved but just an ordinary reader, he might just watch it for fun.

Now, because of the establishment of a weekly magazine, Yang Ye suddenly thought about using the vast resources at his disposal to publish a serious magazine that provides entertainment information to readers.

It is better to write it out openly than to be photographed by paparazzi and write nonsense!

As for this kind of serious entertainment magazine, are there any readers?

I do not know.

Let’s try it first. We have money anyway.

……

Yang Ye returned to the company and called Li Zhi in: "Zhizhi, help me arrange a meeting with Cha Xiaoxin."

"Okay, boss, what date?"

"After the Academy Awards, just schedule it into my schedule."

"Ok!"

“When will Madhuri Dixit arrive?”

"Someone has been arranged to pick you up at the airport at nine o'clock tonight."

When Indian dance queen Madhuri Dixit heard that Yang Ye invited her to make a movie, she felt very honored and happily agreed.

Although "The Myth" will not start filming until the second half of the year, Yang Ye has already invited her to attend the Academy Awards and plans to release news about "The Myth" at the awards ceremony to build momentum in advance.

Yang Ye nodded and asked, "Where are Shay and Spielberg?"

"They're on a ten o'clock flight!"

"Memoirs of a Geisha" was officially launched, with Shea as producer and Spielberg as director.

The two plan to go to Tokyo and Kyoto for field research and to cast at the same time.

Since they are so awesome, they should let the Japanese stars come to Los Angeles themselves and let him choose.

However, they also had to go to Shanghai to select a site to build a "Geisha District", so they did several things at the same time. Because the movie was to reproduce the Japanese style of the 1920s and 1930s, such scenes are difficult to find in Japan today.

So if you want to shoot, you have to build one yourself.

The original version was built in Los Angeles, but Shea decided that would be too expensive and not cost-effective.

If you take a ride in Tokyo... Japan is in the bubble period right now, the cost is higher than in fucking California.

In the 1990 Forbes global rich list, six of the top ten were Japanese. Japan is really rich now.

When Yang Ye was filming "Kill Bill", he went to China to shoot because the cost of setting up the scene in Japan was too high, and it was very successful.

With the experience of "Kill Bill", Shay plans to build a studio in China, which can greatly reduce the cost of filming.

After Xie Yi contacted Yang Ye, Yang Ye suggested that Xie Yi go to Shanghai.

The city in China that likes Japan the most is Shanghai. Building this scenery in Shanghai not only doesn’t cost money, but also makes money.

When the movie is released, there will definitely be a lot of tourists coming in, and the ticket sales will make a lot of money.

Spielberg had previously filmed "Empire of the Sun" in Shanghai, so he had some understanding of Shanghai and readily agreed.

Yang Ye knew that the two of them were going to Tokyo, so he invited them to attend the Academy Awards to boost their popularity, since it was on the way there anyway.

For Yang Ye's sake, the two of them readily agreed.

……

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Ye and Li Zhi appeared at Kai Tak Airport, which immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Some entertainment reporters who were stationed at the airport sensed something was happening and immediately gathered around, and a number of onlookers also gathered around.

Yang Ye's public appearance alarmed the airport security personnel, who immediately came over to maintain order.

"Sir, who are you going to pick up at the airport today?"

"Pick up a friend."

"That must be an important friend, for you to come pick him up in person, right?"

"You'll know soon. Will you leave after seeing me?"

The reporters immediately laughed. Generally speaking, Yang Ye's attitude towards reporters was good, as long as you didn't provoke him.

Yang Ye chatted with the reporters for a few words and then entered the VIP lounge. The reporters were waiting outside.

Soon, Madhuri Dixit's flight arrived.

Kai Tak Airport is located in the city center and is very small. Yang Ye had to go out to pick up people, and a group of reporters followed him and took pictures.

Yang Ye took a look and was surprised. In less than an hour, the number of people had doubled. It seemed that many people had received the news and rushed over.

Madhuri Dixit came out from the gate with an assistant.

Her assistant saw the sign held up by Lizhi and immediately asked Madhuri to come over to Yang Ye.

Madhuri Dixit's Indian appearance stood out in the crowd, and Yang Ye saw her at first sight.

Yang Ye came forward, presented a bouquet of flowers, and said with a smile, "Dear Miss Madhuri Dixit, welcome to Hong Kong!"

Madhuri Dixit took the flowers and said flatteredly: "Dear Sir Yang Ye, I didn't expect you to come to the airport to pick me up in person. I am deeply honored!"

India is also a Commonwealth country, and they recognize Yang Ye's knighthood.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "Of course. I have two friends coming to Hong Kong later, let's go to the lounge and take a rest first."

"Ok!"

Madhuri Dixit is petite and has a striking appearance, amber eyes, thin and thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and long hair draped over her shoulders. The reporters at the scene were shocked as soon as she appeared.

They knew that Yang Ye was a romantic and unrestrained man, and was promiscuous, and was suspected of having two wives, Yamaguchi Momoe and Teresa Teresa.

He has a daughter with French actress Adjani, and another daughter with his secretary Hu Yinmeng.

Unexpectedly, he also had an affair with an Indian woman.

This shit really is... all over the world!
Someone asked, "Sir, who is this beautiful lady? Can you introduce her to me?"

Yang Ye said straightforwardly: "This beauty is Madhuri Dixit, a famous actress in Bollywood, India, the queen of Indian films, and the heroine of my new film."

“Is this new film about India?”

"Correct!"

“Can you tell me what the movie is about?”

"This is kept secret for now!"

Yang Ye said this, and took Madhuri Dixit's hand in a familiar manner through the crowded crowd and into the lounge of the VIP area.

When the reporters saw the two holding hands, they were overjoyed and started taking photos with flashes flashing non-stop.

When the reporters saw that Yang Ye and his group had only entered the rest area and did not leave, they knew that more people were coming, so they all stayed there and waited.

A reporter looked at his back and sighed: "Sir Alex is so awesome, he's hooking up with another Indian beauty."

"Have you heard that the Sir has sex with a woman every time he makes a movie?"

"real or fake?"

"That's what they say, but it's really hard to take photos of him. As soon as you enter his field of vision, you'll be spotted by his bodyguards and you won't be able to do anything."

A new entertainment reporter who didn't know the ins and outs of the industry said in surprise: "Bodyguard, I don't see him having any bodyguards? Besides, isn't he a good fighter? He still needs bodyguards!"

"No matter how good he is at fighting, he is still made of flesh and blood. One bullet will kill him. Although he once dodged a bullet."

"Is this true? He can even dodge bullets. Is he a superman?"

"You are still young, you don't know how powerful Young Master Yang was in the past, let me tell you..."

In the lounge, Yang Ye said to Madhuri: "Sorry, there are too many people. I have to protect you!"

Madhuri shrugged it off: "Thank you, you are very gentlemanly!"

Yang Ye had seen countless women and was good at dealing with them, so he quickly became very familiar with Madhuri.

"You mean, the person coming later is Mr. Spielberg?"

"Yes, let's go greet them!"

Yang Ye and Madhuri left the lounge and found that the reporters were still there, and there were even more of them.

It wasn't long before Shea and Spielberg teamed up.

"Nick, my brother!" Shay came up and gave Yang Ye a bear hug.

In Xie Yi's eyes, Yang Ye is like a god.

Almost all the movies he has worked on have failed.

Two years ago, Cameron went over budget on Spider-Man and was unable to continue filming. Shay had no choice but to make additional investments and was very dissatisfied with Cameron.

But after Spider-Man was released, it grossed $4.5 million at the global box office, making E-Trance Pictures a lucrative business. Shay no longer dared to underestimate Cameron.

Yang Ye's more important achievement is to revitalize Atari. Now Atari's sales in North America have once suppressed Nintendo, and it has also extended its tentacles to Japan.

Later, Yang Ye developed a mini game console called "Pocket Elf". To date, more than 10 million units have been sold worldwide, with sales exceeding US$1 billion.

This terrifying ability to make money is enough for Shay to call him daddy.

"Steven, welcome to Hong Kong!"

"Nick, long time no see!"

Yang Ye shook hands with Spielberg, and the entertainment reporters who were watching were shocked. They didn't expect Spielberg to come to Hong Kong.

This must be someone invited by Yang Ye, the entertainment reporters immediately became excited.

Two great directors, Yang Ye and Spielberg, got together, along with a Bollywood actress. They are going to do something big! (End of this chapter)
