Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Yang Ye brought Yuan Yongyi into the Film People Tea Restaurant, and immediately many colleagues stood up to greet him enthusiastically.

Yang Ye responded with a smile, and only when he passed by the old couple's table did he take the initiative to say, "Sir Shao, good morning!"

He only greeted Run Run Shaw but ignored Mona Fong. This woman never treated him well.

After a brief greeting, Yang Ye took Yuan Yongyi's hand and walked towards his seat.

Yang Ye openly appeared in the Film People Tea Restaurant holding Yuan Yongyi's hand, naturally to show everyone that this was her new favorite.

From now on, colleagues in the circle will have to give this woman some leeway.

Fang Yihua looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but complain: "How many women does this loser need?"

Run Run Shaw, who rarely expressed his opinion on this matter, suddenly said, "You always call him a loser, but when have you ever seen him lose?"

Fang Yihua was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she whispered in defense: "Actually, I don't know why, every time I see him coming with his new love, I can't help but say this."

Yang Ye took Yuan Yongyi to his seat. The waiter brought over the tea leaves he had stored, and Yuan Yongyi obediently took the initiative to make tea.

Yang Ye didn't ask her what she liked to eat and ordered two snacks at random.

When Yuan Yongyi saw that they were all her favorite foods, she felt very happy and thought that this man was very thoughtful.

Yuan Yongyi brewed the tea, poured a cup for Yang Ye, and then took a sip himself. He couldn't help but beam with joy: "This tea is delicious!"

"This is the best Anxi Tieguanyin. If you like it, I'll get you some next time."

"Thank you!"

The two chatted casually, talking and laughing. Ke Shouliang, who was not far away, muttered quietly: "Damn, this little hot pepper is really gentle today."

Yuan Yongyi has a bad temper and a very aggressive personality. Ke Shouliang has worked with her before and has experienced this before. So he was naturally surprised to see her acting like a little bird today.

Luo Lixian, who was standing by, laughed and said, "Don't you see who she is complaining to? No matter how bad her temper is, she wouldn't dare to complain to you, my Lord."

Ke Shouliang said with a sad face: "Damn it, isn't she the woman of Shen Tonghui? How did she get involved with the Lord? Last time she filmed my play, I scolded her. I wonder if she will bear a grudge."

Luo Lixian whispered, "That idiot Shen Tonghui wanted to seduce Lord Jue's woman. Lord Jue was very unhappy, so he snatched Shen Tonghui's woman away."

"Damn, is Prodigy Hui so brave?"

"Maybe he didn't find out clearly beforehand."

"That lord is kind-hearted. I only took his woman. If I had his ability, I would have taken his mother too."

"Idiot, you're going to rob an old woman and put her in your house as a worshipper?"

"Forehead……"

The two of them were whispering to each other when Er Dongsheng walked into the tea restaurant with a little black fat man and went straight to Yang Ye's table.

"I'm sorry, sir, we're late."

Yang Ye looked at the watch and saw that Er Dongsheng was not late, but five minutes early. He smiled and said, "No, you are very punctual. It's just that Jing Jing and I arrived early."

Er Dongsheng nodded and introduced to Yang Ye: "This is Liu Qingyun, he is an actor."

Yang Ye smiled and nodded, saying: "I know, Fang Zhanbo, you are very popular recently. Sit down and order something to eat!"

Yang Ye didn't have time to take care of the TV station's affairs, nor was he too lazy to watch TVB's dramas.

TVB's classic drama "The Greed of Man" appeared on schedule, but the actors had some slight changes.

For example, Anita Mui and Zhou Huimin are now with Yang Ye, so naturally they did not participate in this TV series.

However, the quality of “The Greed of Man” was not compromised. It became a hit as soon as it was broadcast, and was on par with ATV's new drama “Justice Bao”.

Yang Ye did not take the initiative to get "Justice Bao". It was because Star TV had such a huge influence that it siphoned off many TV talents, causing this great drama that was originally scheduled to appear on Taiwan's CTS to be broadcast on Star TV.

The Star TV series "Justice Bao" received very good response, and Bao Heitan played by Jin Chaoqun and Zhan Huwei played by He Jiajin were very popular in Southeast Asia.

The mainland quickly bought the copyright and imported it. ATV also quickly dubbed the Cantonese version and started broadcasting it.

Er Dongsheng and Lau Ching Wan sat down. Yang Ye glanced at Fang Yihua who was not far away and said to Lau Ching Wan, "Aren't you from TVB? Are you afraid that Miss Fang will be unhappy if you sit at the same table with me?"

Lau Ching Wan said shyly: "I have already left TVB."

Er Dongsheng quickly said: "Yunzai is planning to develop in the film industry."

Yang Ye nodded: "I see!"

The film market is so good right now that everyone is trying their best to get in. It is very normal for Andy Lau to have such plans.

Thanks to the fame he gained from TV dramas, his starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Er Dongsheng chatted with Yang Ye for a few words, then took out the script and gave it to Yang Ye for review.

Er Dongsheng was a former Shaw Brothers actor, Chu Yuan's favorite, and had starred in many martial arts films.

After Shaw Brothers stopped production, he turned to behind-the-scenes development and joined D&B to shoot "The Madman", which was both critically and commercially successful and was nominated for the Best Film at the Academy Awards. Derek Yee himself was also nominated for Best Director and Best Screenwriter.

Unfortunately, his second film as a director, People's Hero, was a complete flop. Er Dongsheng's career as a director came to an end and he returned to being an actor.

But his dream of becoming a director was not shattered. He continued to conceive new films while filming. After several years of preparation, he founded the Infinity Pictures Company this year and planned to return to the film industry.

However, the script he spent several years conceiving faced the dilemma of no one being willing to invest in it.

He originally wanted to use his savings to shoot, but he received a call from Li Zhi, saying that Yang Ye asked him to have tea.

Yang Ye took the script, flipped through it for a while, and asked, "Why is no one willing to invest in your script?"

Er Dongsheng said: "Nowadays, everyone is rushing to make kung fu movies and gangster movies, which sell well overseas. Mine is a romance film, the subject matter is niche, and the story is relatively old-fashioned, so no one is willing to invest."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "It is indeed old-fashioned. The plot of the heroine suffering from leukemia was filmed to death in the 1960s and 1970s. You knew that this story was niche and old-fashioned, so why did you still film it?"

The movie that Er Dongsheng is going to shoot is called "Love in Unforgettable". The script is based on the Shaw Brothers classic movie "Love in Unforgettable" from the 1960s. The heroine at that time was the famous actress Lin Dai.

However, "Love in a Fallen City" is not a copy of the original version. The two have a kind of inheritance relationship.

The heroines of both movies suffer from leukemia, but the stories are different.

In "Love Unforgettable", the heroine's mother was played by Lin Dai's goddaughter Feng Baobao.

As for Lin Dai herself, she committed suicide at the age of 30.

Speaking of which, later Chinese audiences' impression of various terminal illness movies mostly comes from Korean movies.

In fact, this routine has been played out by Hong Kong films a long time ago.

Derek Yee said: "I met a singing family in Temple Street and lived with them for three months. Although their life was ordinary, it was sincere and touching. This script was not written deliberately. It reflects every little bit of life. I think if it is filmed, it can move the audience..."

Er Dongsheng told Yang Ye about his experience of collecting information in Temple Street. He spoke in great detail, which showed that he really experienced life in a down-to-earth manner.

Yang Ye admired Er Dongsheng's diligent creative attitude and said, "I have invested in this film. If you have any requirements, please raise them now."

Er Dongsheng was overjoyed, but a little nervous, and said, "I hope Yunzai can be the male lead!"

Andy Lau is not ugly, but he is very dark and doesn’t look like the leading actor in a romance movie.

Unless it's a specialized one like "My Sassy Girl", it has to be played by a loser.

However, last year, Er Dongsheng went to Taiwan with Andy Lau to film "Empress Dowager Cialis". He was very impressed by Andy Lau's acting skills and decided that Andy Lau had to play the leading male role.

He also promised Andy Lau that if he made this movie in the future, he would definitely be invited to be the male lead.

Andy Lau also listened to Derek Yee and quit his job at TVB, planning to follow him.

This is also one of the reasons why Er Dongsheng cannot attract investment.

Investors were not happy with Andy Lau as the male lead and suggested Liu Hua and Leon Lai instead.

Andy Lau put all his eggs in one basket because of Derek Yee's trust. If he couldn't play the leading actor, Derek Yee would be so sorry for him.

There are too many popular male actors under Yangji, and Er Dongsheng originally thought that Yang Ye would not agree.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ye said: "There are already too many prince charmings in the film industry. It would be nice to have a dark horse prince now."

This was agreed, and Er Dongsheng and Liu Qingyun were very happy.

Liu Qingyun stood up, raised his teacup and said, "Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I toast to you."

Yang Ye clinked glasses with him and said, "Let's drink tea first. We'll drink wine after the movie is a success."

"must!"

Liu Qingyun sat down, and Yang Ye said to Er Dongsheng: "What about the female lead? Do you have a candidate in mind?"

Er Dongsheng's preferred candidate was Zhang Manyu, but Zhang Manyu has now won the Berlin Film Festival, so he can't afford her. Later, he thought of Zhou Huimin, because the heroine is a singer, Zhou Huimin is beautiful and can sing, but Zhou Huimin is also not affordable for him.

Now, with Yang Ye’s investment, he can invite anyone he wants.

Just when he said he wanted to invite Zhang Manyu, he suddenly glanced at Yuan Yongyi beside Yang Ye, and his heart moved. This was Yang Ye's new love.

Er Dongsheng was very understanding and immediately changed his words: "I think Jingjing is great!"

Yang Ye was happy: "Not bad, you have good taste!"

Yang Ye handed the script to Yuan Yongyi: "Jingjing, this is a very good script, take it back and study it carefully, don't let me down!"

Yuan Yongyi then realized that Yang Ye brought her here to find an opportunity for her, and she quickly agreed. She felt very happy because Yang Ye really cared about her and treated her well.

Yuan Yongyi is a very good actor, with both good looks and acting skills.

She won the Best Newcomer award for her first film and subsequently won the Best Actress award at the Academy Awards for two consecutive years.

The role of Amin she played in "Love Unforgettable" is fresh, natural and full of energy. She can be regarded as a classic role in Hong Kong romance films.

Later, Lin Ziying in "Stormy Days", He Tieshou in "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood" and Li Xiangqin in "From Beijing with Love" also gave remarkable performances.

It’s a pity that she was born at the wrong time. Just as she was starting to gain popularity, the Hong Kong film industry died suddenly.

Even though she has won the Best Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards twice, she can only be relegated to filming TV dramas.

If she were ten years older and debuted in the 1980s, her achievements might be no less than those of Zhang Manyu.

Or if he was ten years younger and made his debut around the millennium, when Hong Kong films experienced a brief revival for a few years, he might have had a chance to become another Zhang Baizhi.

Yang Ye accepted Yuan Yongyi, not only because she was pretty, but also because she was a good talent.

Yuan Yongyi is a talented actress, on par with Lin Qingxia and Zhang Baizhi.

His appearance is similar to theirs, tending towards heroic spirit. This kind of androgynous appearance is a rare commodity in the film and television industry.

She is beautiful as a woman, handsome as a man, and it is hard to tell whether she is androgynous or not. She can attract both men and women, and her commercial value is much higher than that of ordinary actresses.

However, Yuan Yongyi is not as good as Lin Qingxia after all. After she turned 30, her cheeks became fatter and she looked old, and her appearance declined rapidly.

After she turned 30, Lin Qingxia developed a different temperament, but Yuan Yongyi did not have this opportunity.

……

"What's going on with Yuan Yongyi?"

Rosamund Kwan was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. She pointed at Yuan Yongyi in the gossip news and asked Li Jiaxin.

The two of them had a quarrel last time, and perhaps because Yang Ye had a new lover, they felt sorry for each other, but they actually became besties. Whenever they had time, they would get together for beauty treatments and go shopping.

Li Jiaxin came over, took a look at the photo of Yang Ye and Yuan Yongyi sitting in the Film People Tea Restaurant, and cursed: "Bitch!"

She drank a sip of tea angrily, slammed the cup on the coffee table, and then said, "It's all the fault of Luo Zhaohui and Xu Jinheng."

"What does this have to do with them?"

"That Xu Jinheng came to the company to give me flowers and was seen by Brother Ye.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Brother Ye, he actually invited Xu Jinheng to make a movie.

You said Xu Jinheng is a playboy, why would he make a movie? But he actually agreed.

When the filming started, he invited Brother Ye to have a drink again, and he ran into that bitch Yuan Yongyi in the bar.

At that time, the bitch had no idea what sad thing had happened to her and was sitting at the bar getting drunk.

Brother Ye, the pervert, fell in love with her as soon as he saw her and even brought her into the private room."

Guan Zhilin raised her eyebrows, looking very disappointed: "You just watched that bitch seduce Brother Ye?"

"It was Brother Ye who seduced her, okay? As soon as he saw that bitch, he lost his soul and left me behind to get close to her."

"Uh...keep on talking!"

"Hahaha, do you know why that bitch is sad?"

Guan Zhilin didn't expect that Li Jiaxin had the potential to be a storyteller, but her gossip soul was already burning, and she really wanted to listen, so she had to respond: "Why?"

"Because her boyfriend, the real estate agent Luo Zhaohui, wants her to pick up clients."

"Ah? This Luo Zhaohui is such a piece of shit!"

"This shows that the bitch has poor vision. She hooked up with Luo Zhaohui and thought she had hooked up with a rich man. Luo Zhaohui is just a lousy intermediary. How can he be considered a rich man?"

Guan Zhilin agreed very much and said, "Compared with our Brother Ye, his little things are nothing."

The two best friends couldn't help but feel proud when talking about the man they had in common, and they raised their tea cups and clinked them together.

Li Jiaxin asked mysteriously again: "Do you know who Luo Zhaohui wants that bitch to accompany?"

"Who?"

"It's Brother Ye!"

"Ah? What a coincidence!"

"It's a long story. Luo Zhaohui was not very conspicuous and offended Brother Ye.

Brother Ye is the reincarnation of Ziwei Star. Anyone who offends him will have a bad ending. Do you know that?

So Luo Zhaohui was scared to death. In order to apologize to Brother Ye, he decided to give Yuan Yongyi to Brother Ye and offered a high price of two million. Yuan Yongyi was so angry that she announced that she was breaking up with Luo Zhaohui.

"If you put it that way, that bitch is pretty pitiful."

"What's there to be pitied about? She is very vicious. After she met Brother Ye, she asked Brother Ye to help her vent her anger. She also said that as long as Brother Ye is willing to punish Luo Zhaohui, she will marry him."

"I think she has been wanting to get close to me for a long time, right? She's even trying to pledge herself to me, bah, shameless!"

Li Jiaxin agreed with Guan Zhilin's words and said, "That's right!"

"and after?"

"Brother Ye was already targeting Luo Zhaohui, and taking in that bitch Yuan Yongyi was just a convenient opportunity, so he agreed.

Didn't Brother Ye snatch away the Chongqing Building that Luo Zhaohui was determined to acquire a few months ago? He spent 100 million.

Now, it has been sold to Luo Zhaohui for 500 million. Luo Zhaohui sold all his property to raise this much money. "

Guan Zhilin was full of admiration and said, "Brother Ye is really amazing. That Luo guy actually called himself a child prodigy. It's really hilarious. By the way, how did he offend Brother Ye?"

Li Jiaxin curled her lips and said, "That bad boy wasn't very conspicuous. He wanted to support me for one million a month, but he got revenged by Brother Ye!"

Guan Zhilin understood: "So Luo Zhaohui wanted to snatch Brother Ye's woman, but Brother Ye snatched Luo Zhaohui's woman back?"

"That's what's going on!"

"That means, after all this, you, a vixen, are the culprit!"

Li Jiaxin was dissatisfied: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Why is it none of your business? If Luo Zhaohui didn't want to seduce you, he wouldn't have offended Brother Ye, he wouldn't have been punished, and he wouldn't have sent Yuan Yongyi away.

Also, if Xu Jinheng hadn't wanted to hook up with you, he wouldn't have met Brother Ye, and he wouldn't have gone to film a movie, and he wouldn't have invited you to the bar, and you wouldn't have run into Yuan Yongyi in the bar.

It was because of you that Yuan Yongyi had the opportunity to hook up with Brother Ye. Why don't you admit it? It's all your fault!"

Li Jiaxin thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. However, she would not give in to Guan Zhilin. She ruffled her hair and said, "Who made me so beautiful that I can't give up?"

"Bah, with your skinny body, how can you be naturally beautiful? Brother Ye, do you like me like this?" Guan Zhilin straightened her 34C.

Li Jiaxin knew she couldn't compete, so she didn't take the bait. She smiled contemptuously and said, "So what? Brother Ye likes me the most. Why didn't he ask you to make a movie with me?"

"What's so great about a crappy movie? It's not like I haven't acted in it before. I even played his favorite junior sister."

"You were young then, but now you are already an old woman. Brother Ye didn't dump you, he just misses you. You two shouldn't have seen each other for a long time, right?"

These words also mentioned Guan Zhilin's age, pointed out that Guan Zhilin and Yang Ye had not seen each other for a long time, and mocked her for falling out of favor. Every word was heartbreaking.

"Bitch, say that again!"

Rosamund Kwan was furious and rushed towards Li Jiaxin.

Just now they were good friends, but now they are sworn enemies and are fighting... (End of this chapter)
