Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Liu Xiaoqing's reputation on the Internet in later generations was not very good, but Yang Ye admired this woman very much.

Because she is bold and daring, and can let go of things easily, she has a very tough character, which is better than countless men.

In the 1980s, when she was co-producing a movie with a Hong Kong team, she dared to stand up and resist the unfair treatment she received. Not everyone can do this.

Later, she was thrown into prison, alone and in debt, so she decided to go back to her old job and become an actress again.

But as an artist with negative news, no crew dared to use her.

She started out as an extra, earning 50 yuan a day, with no lines, and just playing supporting roles.

Then she would play a minor role with two or three lines and earn three hundred yuan a day. No matter how big or small the role was, as long as she was asked to play it, she would do it.

Having once stood at the top and then suddenly falling, most people will suffer a mental breakdown and sink into depravity.

For example, after Luo Zhaohui went bankrupt, he started to make money by exposing the privacy of his former friends and lovers. He became immoral and ended up taking drugs, gambling, and visiting prostitutes. He fell into depravity and died in a foreign country.

However, Liu Xiaoqing was able to lower his posture, start over and rise again. He is definitely a "ruthless person".

Taiwanese star Hu Huizhong wrote few articles about people in the circle in her life, but several of them were about Liu Xiaoqing.

Hu Huizhong and Liu Xiaoqing knew each other in the 1980s and hit it off immediately and became good friends.

When Liu Xiaoqing first met Hu Huizhong, she asked, "Do you Taiwanese people eat banana peels?"

Hu Huizhong said: "Only you, the suffering compatriots in mainland China, eat banana peels!"

The two talked and laughed. It turned out that in the 1960s and 1970s, both sides thought the other was in dire straits.

In Hu Huizhong's article, Liu Xiaoqing is described as straightforward, extremely intelligent, a superb actor, good at communication, very patriotic, and family-oriented.

One of the articles is titled "What I Know about Liu Xiaoqing."

Hu Huizhong mentioned in the article that Liu Xiaoqing once wanted to have a child for Jiang Wen.

That was in 1992. In order to fulfill Jiang Wen's dream of becoming a director, Liu Xiaoqing went to Hong Kong to solicit investment.

I talked about this topic while having dinner with Hu Huizhong.

Hu Huizhong asked Liu Xiaoqing: "Is this sacrifice worth it?"

At that time, Liu Xiaoqing was already 42 years old, and having a child was a very risky thing, so Hu Huizhong said it was a sacrifice.

Liu Xiaoqing replied: "It doesn't matter. If she loves someone, she wants to give. If she can't do it, she won't delay him."

Now it is 1992. As fate would have it, Liu Xiaoqing is not with Jiang Wen, but becomes Yang Ye's woman. She still wants a child.

Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then you have to think carefully about this matter. The risk is quite high."

"I've thought it through."

"Then don't drink soy milk today!"

"Bah!" Liu Xiaoqing couldn't help but punched Yang Ye.

……

Beijing, the filming site of "Farewell My Concubine".

Juxian, played by Gong Li, is dressed in coarse cloth and is acting pitiful to Duan Xiaolou, played by Zhang Fengyi.

Her eyes were filled with tears, a tear rolled down her cheeks, and she suddenly smiled.

Brother Kaizi, who was sitting in the director's chair, frowned, because it was not like this during the rehearsal just now. How could he laugh here?
He was about to shout "Cut", but suddenly felt that it was right to laugh suddenly, so he shut up again.

Gong Li actually made a mistake, but the director didn't say "cut", so she continued acting.

A few minutes later, the scene was finally over. Gong Li made a face and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, director, I just laughed. Do you want to do it again?"

Brother Kaizi shook his head and said, "No, it's good like this. It makes me laugh, the emotions are right, and I feel like the whole show has become better."

Zhang Guorong, who played Cheng Dieyi, laughed and said, "Isn't that a lucky coincidence?"

Brother Kaizi said something literary, "Writing is a natural thing, it is a rare thing, and it is the same with filming."

"Clap clap clap!"

"Director Chen said it well!"

When Kaizi heard people clapping and praising him, he immediately turned around and saw Yang Ye holding the hand of a ten-year-old girl, standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Brother Kaizi immediately understood why Gong Li suddenly laughed. She was not laughing out loud, but was distracted by seeing Yang Ye.

Brother Kaizi quickly stood up, walked over, and shook hands with Yang Ye: "Director Yang, what brings you here?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, "I came to the capital to do some business, and I came to see you on the way."

Yang Ye said as he greeted the others.

Not to mention Zhang Guorong and Gong Li, others like Ge You, Yingda and others came over to meet Yang Ye.

As they were about to continue filming, Yang Ye didn't want to interrupt them. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he took his daughter aside and sat aside to watch them perform.

Zhang Guorong opened the door with a "pop" sound, walked out, threw a pair of shoes on the ground, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Ms. Juxian, where did you learn opera?"

Gong Li did not indulge him and said sarcastically: "Oh, where have I learned opera?"

Zhang Guorong sat down on the chair and said, "You haven't learned it, so don't make a fuss about it!"

Zhang Fengyi had a stern face, but suddenly he laughed: "Dieyi, call me sister-in-law, you have to call me sister-in-law. And tonight, you have to take on the job of witness!"

Zhang Guorong stiffened his neck, tears welling up in his eyes: "I don't know how to act the scene with Huang Tianba and the prostitute. My master never taught me."

Yang Ye had seen this scene in a movie a long time ago. Although they acted very devotedly, Yang Ye didn't pay much attention to it.

But Yang Xi watched with great interest.

Yang Ye stood up and turned around casually. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw a pure-looking woman walking towards him in a hurry.

As soon as she saw Yang Ye, she stopped and said happily, "Brother-in-law!" Yang Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Jie!"

Xu Jie has been working and living with Xu Feng over the years, and she is the producer of this film "Farewell My Concubine".

Yang Ye hadn't seen her for a long time, so he asked, "How are you doing recently?"

"pretty good!"

Xu Jie smiled sweetly, but still stood where he was.

Yang Ye looked at her smiling face and his heart was moved.

At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice inexplicably sounded in his mind.

The voice was vague and illusory, as if warning him to stay away from Xu Jie.

Such inexplicable warnings have occurred many times, and they may appear when he meets Xu Jie, Zhao Yazhen, Yamaguchi Shuhui and others.

Yang Ye hated this feeling. Suddenly, he cursed in a low voice: "Fuck you!" and then strode towards Xu Jie.

Outside the house was the bright autumn sun. Xu Jie watched Yang Ye walk out of the dark house, bathed in the sunshine and walk towards her. In an instant, tears streamed down his face...

……

Beijing Film Studio, Ming and Qing Dynasty style street.

A dandy man wearing a melon-shaped hat and waving a folding fan was parading through the busy streets.

Zhou Xingchi had a little girl riding on his shoulders, who stopped him and said, "Brother, do you recognize me?"

"I'd recognize you even if you turned into ashes. You stinky beggar, carrying a daughter on your back, trying to gain sympathy?"

"Yes, give me some alms!"

"Beggars just won't give, get out of here!"

"You have to give it to me, brother!"

"Beg by order? Are you sure?"

"That's right!"

The dandy boy reluctantly gave some money and was about to run away when suddenly several children surrounded him, all of them were Su Qi'er's children.

"There are so many litters of this size, add some more!"

"It's not a pig, why would it give birth to so many?"

"Let's go buy something to eat!"

The children followed Zhou Xingchi away. One of them, a little girl with three pigtails, suddenly turned around, and her clean little face came into the camera.

Yang Ye stood outside and watched. Suddenly, he pointed at the little girl and said to director Chen Jiashang, "This little girl is very smart!"

Chen Jiashang asked in surprise: "Why do you think so?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, “Look, the other kids were all following Ah Xing and Ah Min, but she suddenly turned around and her whole face was in the camera. She’s already stealing the spotlight at such a young age, she’ll be amazing when she grows up!”

Twenty years later, director Gordon Chan participated in an interview program hosted by the Sixth Princess. When recalling his experiences with Yang Ye, he recounted this past event in a vivid and moving manner.

Gordon Chan said: "Sir Yang's ability to judge people is admirable. He saw that the little girl was very smart based on just one shot. Many years later, the little girl really became a nationally renowned star, her name is Yang Mi!"

……

The scene was filmed quickly, and the children went back to their mothers. Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Min came back and met Yang Ye.

Yang Ye asked casually, "Have you finished filming this play?"

Gordon Chan said: "We just need to shoot one more shot of the Great Wall, and then we can call it a day."

"when to go?"

"tomorrow!"

"It just so happens that I also need to go to the Great Wall to shoot a commercial, so I'd like to borrow your team."

Of course, this was fine. Chen Jiashang agreed immediately and asked Yang Ye if he needed to prepare anything.

Yang Ye shook his head: "No need to prepare anything, I'm just going to the Great Wall to practice a set of Kung Fu, it's very simple."

After saying that, he patted Zhou Xingchi on the shoulder and praised him: "A Xing is very powerful this year. I dare not release my new film."

Zhou Xingchi was a little apprehensive and said modestly, "Boss, I've only been struggling in Hong Kong for a while, so I don't dare to compare with you."

……

The next day, Yang Ye took Yang Xi and climbed the Great Wall with the crew of "The Legend of Su Qier".

The crew of "Once Upon a Time in China" went to the Great Wall just to make the Great Wall appear on camera, and it has nothing to do with the plot of the movie.

So Zhou Xingchi sat on a chair and was carried by beggars in the extras for a while, and that was it.

Yang Ye changed into a set of tight clothes and took a two-handed sword to the Great Wall.

After choosing a good location and setting up the camera, he stood with his back to the light and began to dance with the sword.

Yang Ye was seen holding the sword in both hands, making a few sword moves, and then posing in a fixed position.

Then he threw the long sword in his hand. The sword spun in the air and was about to fall to the ground. Yang Ye suddenly turned around and kicked the hilt accurately.

The sword was spinning in the air again, Yang Ye reached back to save the sword, done!
This sword-kicking posture was so thrilling and handsome that everyone at the scene was stunned.

If this guy had kicked the blade instead of the handle, he might have lost his foot.

Of course, this sword is not sharpened!

Yang Xi covered his mouth and said in disbelief: "Oh my god, Dad, you are so awesome!" (End of this chapter)
