Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

In late March, "The Voice of China" began recording and the program will premiere in May.

At the same time, after more than two months of preparation, "SPL" held a launch announcement and announced the start of filming.

In the movie "SPL", Yang Ye was only responsible for the fighting scenes, and handed the directing baton to Johnnie To.

Yang Ye experienced a big breakthrough last year, releasing three movies in one year, which raked in more than 400 million US dollars at the global box office.

In fact, the bulk of Yang Ye’s film revenue does not come from box office revenue, but from videotapes.

His action movies are constantly updated and always bring surprises to the audience. They are far ahead in the video sales and rental markets, and even the big Hollywood stars cannot compare with him.

In Europe, America, Japan and audio-visual stores all over the world, Yang Ye has his own exclusive shelf, which is placed in a prominent position in the store.

However, this year, Yang Ye will probably have to take a break, as no movie starring him will be released.

This "SPL" was filmed entirely to establish Zhen Zidan's action style, and Yang Ye himself did not appear in the film.

As for "The Myth", in which he is confirmed to star, the filming will not start until the recording of "The Voice of China" is completed, and it will definitely be released next year.

Of course, it is not ruled out that a temporary movie "God of Gamblers 1988" will be made to fill the void, just like in 2.

Come to think of it, a movie that Yang Ye made in just one month was able to sell for tens of millions of dollars. It's true that people will die if you compare them, and goods will be thrown away if you compare them.

……

"SPL" launch conference.

Yang Ye led stars such as Johnnie To, Sammo Hung, Jet Li, Zhen Zidan, Sharla Cheung, Ti Lung, Poon Chi-man, Chen Kuan-tai, Cheng Yi-kin, and Kong Wah to make appearances.

The main actors are Hong Jingbao as Wang Bao, Jet Li as A Ji, and Zhen Zidan as Ma Jun.

The three people represent the three life stars: Tan Lang, Qi Sha and Po Jun.

Zhang Min plays Wang Bao's wife.

Ti Lung, Poon Chi-man, Chen Kuan-tai and Cheng Yi-kin play a quartet of police officers.

Those are the roles played by Simon Yam, Liao Qizhi, Danny Summer and Eric Cheung in the original version.

Simon Yam and the others are too young now and not suitable.

In the movie, Chen Guozhong, played by Simon Yam, has reached retirement age, but Simon Yam is only in his thirties now.

So Yang Ye chose Ti Lung to play Chen Guozhong.

Ti Lung has a lot of experience, solid acting skills, and is very grateful to Yang Ye. He came immediately after Yang Ye called him, without even discussing the pay.

Zhang Zhiyao is only fifteen years old this year and has not yet made his debut, so Yang Ye called Zheng Yijian over.

Although Cheng Yijian became famous thanks to Daoming Si, no, Murong Yunhai, it is already a great honor for him to be able to play a role in a movie with so many big names.

Jiang Hua plays Wang Bao's subordinate, the one who was thrown down from the building by the four policemen. In the original version, it was played by Kenji Taniguchi from Zhen Clan.

Media reporters swarmed into the press conference.

A reporter asked: "Sir, why did you give up starring in this "SPL" and even give up directing?"

Yang Ye replied: "I didn't give up anything. This movie was tailor-made based on the characteristics of Danny, Ajie, and Simon."

“Can you tell me about this movie?”

“Yes, this is a very subversive movie. First of all, in terms of action, we spent more than half a year to determine the fighting style, striving to bring a different feeling to the audience.

The roles played by Simon, Ajie and Danny are also subversive and completely different from their previous roles. "

"Can you be more specific?"

"No, saying more would be a spoiler. All in all, this will be a unique and exciting kung fu movie."

……

In an alley, workers are laying tracks.

Jet Li dyed a tuft of yellow hair on his head, which made him look very Shamatte.

In the original version of "SPL", Wu Jinglong only had two lines.

In this version, Yang Ye added more interactions between Jet Li and Hong Jingbao.

The original name of the movie "SPL" was actually "Father's Day".

All the main characters in the film have a story about their fathers.

The main plot of this movie is actually what happened on Father's Day.

All conflicts of interest and all rhythms are arranged to develop within the 24 hours of Father's Day.

Sammo Hung is a father, and he must spend time with his wife and son before Father's Day is over.

However, his plan was not fulfilled in the end. He threw Zhen Zidan off the building, killing his wife and son.

The witness that Hong Jingbao killed three years ago left behind a daughter. Simon Yam adopted the little girl and he is also a father.

On Father's Day, his goddaughter called Simon Yam and asked him why he didn't have a holiday on Father's Day?

He must prove Sammo Hung's crime as a gangster before Father's Day and take revenge.

In the end, Simon Yam was not killed by Wang Bao, giving the movie a slightly sunny ending.

But...he still collapsed on the beach due to cancer.

Xia Shaosheng hadn't seen his daughter for many years, and his daughter finally agreed to come and see her father before leaving Hong Kong.

He knew he would be killed as soon as he left the police station, but he still went to see his daughter.

His daughter left him a Father's Day gift. Before he could open it, Wu Jing suddenly rushed out and stabbed him to death.

Liao Qizhi had a bad relationship with his father and always hoped that his father would die soon.

But on Father's Day night, he still ran to a phone booth and called his mother to ask how his father was doing.

When he learned that his father had died last month, his eyes instantly turned red.

The next second, Wu Jing suddenly rushed out and killed him.

Zhen Zidan was also given a narrative with his father. His father had died a long time ago, and the only thing he worried about before he died was that he didn't want him to be a policeman.

So, what about Wu Jing?

He is actually the godson adopted by Sammo Hung since childhood, and has a father-son relationship with Sammo Hung.

On Father's Day, he was killed by Zhen Zidan in order to defend and protect his father.

When the original version of "SPL" was made into a film, for some unknown reason, the plot about the father-son relationship was deleted.

This results in Wu Jing's character being cool, brutal, and very eye-catching, but lacking motivation and individuality.

So Yang Ye wants to make up for this part of the plot.

……

"Ajie, you will rush over from the other end of the alley later. Remember, you are not a hero this time. You are a killer. Your expression must be fierce, arrogant, and wild!"

"I understand, Master!"

"Okay, everyone, get into position and get ready to shoot!"

Yang Ye sat on the chair. At a command, the stage manager stepped forward and hit the board: "Action!"

Jet Li held a Muramasa short demon sword in his hand, held the sword with his backhand, and rushed forward with an arrogant look on his face.

Although he is a villain, I have to say, he is really awesome.

This street fight is the essence of the whole film and was very difficult to shoot. Yang Ye had to demonstrate in person from time to time, so the filming was very slow.

However, the effect of the shooting does not need to be edited, it looks very explosive when watching it live.

The two of them, especially Zhen Zidan, really put their utmost effort into it and took it very seriously.

Because he understood that his success or failure depended on this one move.

Because Yang Ye has made such a big fuss, using Jet Li and Sammo Hung as villains to promote him, and if it still doesn't work, then he will be a hopeless case.

The two brothers played and stopped until about ten o'clock, when Yang Ye shouted, "That's all for today, we're done!"

After hearing this, everyone started packing up and preparing to leave.

Zhen Zidan was the protagonist this time, so he couldn't be stingy. He said loudly, "Let's go for a midnight snack later. It's my treat." Everyone was naturally happy to have a midnight snack, and they praised loudly, "Brother Dan is so generous!"

Zhen Zidan walked up to Yang Ye and said, "Master, let's go have a midnight snack together!"

Yang Ye waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I won't go. I still have to record the sound tomorrow, so I can't be too late."

"Okay, good night, Master!"

"OK!"

Yang Ye hummed, waved to a few people, turned around and left.

As he walked out of the alley, he found Zhang Min following behind him, so he turned around and asked, "Minmin, aren't you going with them for a midnight snack?"

Zhang Min shook her head: "I don't want to go!"

"Are you losing weight?"

"No, they are all grown men. After drinking some wine, they will definitely say dirty words. I won't go!"

Yang Ye thought so and nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you home!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Min happily got into Yang Ye's car. Yang Ye's car started and quickly blended into the dazzling river of cars at night.

The two chatted casually in the car and soon arrived at Zhang Min's residence.

Zhang Min said: "Brother Ye, I'm leaving now!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Min opened the door and got out of the car. Yang Ye felt uncomfortable and thought, is this the end? Suddenly he asked, "Are you hungry?"

Zhang Min stopped opening the door and said in a daze, "Ah?"

"I'm a little hungry, how about we go get some midnight snack first?"

"Okay!"

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhang Min tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know either."

"Then let's go around and see if there's anything good to eat?"

Zhang Min quickly shook her head: "That won't work. If someone recognizes you, don't even think about leaving."

"Right."

"If you don't mind... I'll make you a bowl of noodles. I'll make Shanghai style scallion oil noodles."

Yang Ye's appetite was aroused, and he said happily: "Okay, I like this one."

……

Add the fragrant scallion oil and cooked dried shrimps, mix with the noodles, and the fragrant scallion oil noodles are ready.

Yang Ye took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "It turns out that Minmin's cooking skills are so good. I thought you were just like Yingying, you just knew how to open your mouth to eat."

Zhang Min ate the noodles in small bites and said, "We Shanghainese all know how to make this scallion oil noodles. It's nothing special."

"That's not necessarily true. My secretary Lizhi wouldn't do that."

"Miss Li is also from Shanghai?"

"Yes! Come to my office someday and I'll introduce you two fellow villagers to each other."

"Ok!"

Yang Ye stopped talking and buried his head in eating to show that the noodles Zhang Min made were really delicious and he really liked them.

Yang Ye finished the noodles in a few bites, put down the bowl with satisfaction, and began to look up at Zhang Min's house.

This is a "thousand-foot mansion".

Hong Kong is a place where every inch of land is valuable. The area of ​​houses is measured by square feet. The so-called "thousand-square-foot mansion" is about 91 square meters.

In the mainland of later times, it would be a small apartment.

However, the average housing area in Hong Kong is about 40-50 square meters for a family of four. A "thousand-foot mansion" is indeed a luxury house in Hong Kong.

“When was this house bought?”

"Last year, I took out a mortgage!"

The Hong Kong property market began to recover in 1985. At that time, a "thousand-foot luxury house" in Kowloon cost about or Hong Kong dollars.

Five years later, it doubled to 150 million Hong Kong dollars. Thirty years later, it rose to 1500 million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, hard work had become meaningless for young people in Hong Kong, and the Lion Rock Spirit was all bullshit.

Although Zhang Min is popular, there are nine members in Girls' Generation. If they participate in activities together, she will not get much money if the profits are shared equally.

Yang Ye didn't support her much either, because she wasn't like those girls from the Japanese, Korean, or Taiwanese groups who could receive notices from their hometowns.

Therefore, she is currently the poorest member of Girls' Generation, earning only a few hundred thousand dollars a year.

In fact, this is already an absolutely high income in Hong Kong, but she still has expenses, so she hasn't saved much money.

While other girls live in luxury houses and drive luxury cars, she can only buy a house with a mortgage, which makes her feel a little unbalanced psychologically.

As for whether there are wealthy men who want to seduce her after she becomes famous, of course there are.

Zhang Min was named one of the "Four Beauties" by Hong Kong media in the 1990s. Those men are not blind.

But Girls’ Generation is Yang Ye’s exclusive love, so how could he let others get involved?
Except for Yang Ye, all those who had ill intentions towards Zhang Min were sent away by Yang Ye.

"Minmin, one night, we lay on the deck together and watched the sea, do you remember?"

"Remember, there are many squids in the sea that can glow, just like the stars in the sky, so beautiful!"

"Well, I did something that night, do you remember?"

Zhang Min blushed. She lowered her head and used her chopsticks to tease the noodles in the bowl. She said shyly, "Remember... remember!"

"Remember what?"

Zhang Min's face turned even redder. She didn't expect Yang Ye to like this kind of thing. She said hesitantly, "You... kissed... kissed me!"

"Was that your first kiss?"

"Yes, it is!"

Yang Ye was very satisfied with Zhang Min's performance. He stretched out a finger, lifted her chin, and said softly, "Brother Ye wants to kiss you again tonight, okay?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Min hummed, followed Yang Ye's gesture, tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes.

"So good!"

Yang Ye was very satisfied. He slowly moved closer and kissed her petal-like lips.

Zhang Min has actually been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Many of her sisters threw themselves into Yang Ye's arms.

She even knew the story between her sisters and Yang Ye.

Zhang Min knew very well that she could not escape Yang Ye's clutches and would become Yang Ye's person sooner or later.

However, Zhang Min does not reject this matter, but is looking forward to it.

On the one hand, she had known since she was a child that Yang Ye had many girlfriends, such as Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia. She had been influenced by them and had long been accustomed to them.

On the other hand, her good sisters living in mansions, driving luxury cars, and leading a life of luxury also stimulated her.

She knew that Brother Ye would want her sooner or later, and she would have everything her sisters had, and now, this moment had finally come.

A sweet kiss made Zhang Min feel a little intoxicated, and she couldn't help but hug Yang Ye's neck.

Yang Ye picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.

Under the dim light, Zhang Min recalled the night when she and Yang Ye went to see the sea together.

But at this moment, Yang Ye just wanted to have fun! (End of this chapter)
