Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

The production of "Bodyguard from Zhongnanhai" started to catch up with the schedule.

On the one hand, it will be released during the Spring Festival next year, so time is relatively tight.

On the other hand, He Qing's due date was approaching, so Yang Ye had to make time to go and take care of her for a while.

After finishing the scenes in the villa, the crew moved to Donglai Plaza to shoot the assassination scene in the shopping mall.

For convenience, the crew arranged the shooting time in the evening after the mall closed.

All the customers in the mall were played by people from the film company.

In this scene, Yang Ye was responsible for pretending to be cool, posing in various cool postures while firing.

Li Jiaxin was just responsible for screaming and then throwing herself into Yang Ye's arms.

Filming this scene was relatively simple, except that it required reversing day and night, resting during the day and working at night.

Amid the falling balloons, Yang Ye held Li Jiaxin in his arms, lying on a scooter, firing "bang bang bang", and the enemies fell to the ground one after another.

As the two successfully escaped from the mall, Yuan Kui announced that the filming of "Bodyguard from Beijing" was successfully completed.

"Everyone go back and rest. We will have the wrap-up banquet tonight!"

Everyone cheered and dispersed.

Yang Ye said to Yuan Kui: "A Kui, I have to go to Shenzhen. I'll leave the rest to you."

Yuan Kui agreed and said, "Don't worry, sir!"

"Let's go, Michelle!" Yang Ye took Li Jiaxin out of the mall.

Not long after, Yang Ye drove Li Jiaxin's car and took Li Jiaxin to Li Jiaxin's home.

Li Jiaxin glanced at Yang Ye's car in the rearview mirror and suddenly said, "Honey, your bodyguard is also called Zhengyang, right? It's the same name as in the movie."

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Is he a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai?"

"What are you thinking? He's a veteran. I thought his name sounded nice, so I just used it in the movie."

"So...what about the heroine in the movie, whose name is Michelle?"

"It was named after you, but the Chinese name was changed to Yang Qian'er, the same last name as mine."

After hearing this, Li Jiaxin thought of the line Yang Ye had designed specifically for her, "Beautiful woman hooking up with a rich man," and she felt happy: "Honey, can I go to Shenzhen with you?"

"I'm going to work, so I don't have time to play with you. Just wait for me at home. I'll spend time with you when I get back."

Li Jiaxin pouted: "When you come back, aren't you going to start a new play with Sister Jiahui? How can you have time to accompany me?"

"What does it matter? When I accompany Jiahui, I can also accompany you!"

Ever since Guan Zhilin and Li Jiaxin accompanied Yang Ye that day, Yang Ye has become addicted to this feeling.

Let the two beauties of Hong Kong stick out their cleavage and cosplay as little elks at the same time. This kind of pleasure cannot be brought by other women.

……

Guangzhou, Zhongshan Hospital.

Yang Ye sat outside the delivery room, waiting quietly.

Liu Xiaoqing on the side comforted him: "Don't be nervous, it's okay!"

Yang Ye nodded slightly and said nothing.

He already has ten children, and being a father has become a habit to him.

When Zhao Yazhi gave birth to her child at first, he was quite nervous, but later he gradually calmed down.

He shook Liu Xiaoqing's hand and asked, "Is your stomach moving?"

Liu Xiaoqing shook her head sadly. She had been actively trying to get pregnant recently. As soon as her ovulation period came, she ran to Hong Kong to find Yang Ye to sow the seeds, but there was no movement in her belly.

Yang Ye comforted him: "Don't worry, keep a good attitude, and work harder!"

Anyway, Yang Ye is not in a hurry. The women in this world who want to give birth to his children can line up from Hong Kong to Paris.

There were so many women who tried every possible way to steal his sperm that he had to carry hot pepper sauce with him at all times.

After waiting for more than an hour, the door of the delivery room finally opened, and the nurse came out and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, it's a boy, weighing 15 pounds, and both mother and child are safe."

Yang Ye was very happy and asked Liu Xiaoqing to give red envelopes to everyone.

Not long after, He Qing was sent to the ward. Yang Ye sat beside her, holding the beauty's hand, and said softly, "Qing'er, thank you for your hard work!"

He Qing smiled slightly, looked lovingly at the sleeping baby in the crib next to her, and said, "Husband, what's our son's name?"

Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, “My children’s names all have a sun in them. His name is Yang Sheng, which means prosperity and flourishing.”

He Qing was very satisfied and said happily: "It sounds great!"

He Qing made her debut ten years ago when she was selected by Hong Kong director Huashan to shoot a movie and has made many works over the years.

But what really made her famous all over the country was her role as Yang Yehao in the TV series "A Native of Beijing in New York".

After the TV series was broadcast, it caused a sensation across the country, and the heroine Guo Yan, played by He Qing, also became the dream lover of a generation.

Later, she was selected by Qiong Yao to play Hua Youlin in "Green Grass on the Riverbank" and together with Jin Ming, she became the earliest "Qiong Girl" in the mainland.

In fact, Qiong Yao originally wanted He Qing to play the leading female role, but Taiwan had restrictions on mainland actors and she couldn't play the leading female role.

The reason why Zhang Yu, the heroine of "Lush Mountain Love", was able to play the leading female role in Taiwan is because she was well-known in the United States and was a very good person.

Speaking of Runren, I have to mention Zhang Weijian here.

Because Zhang Weijian beat Xiao Bailong violently, many mainland netizens shared the same hatred for Xiao Bailong.

Everyone believes that Hong Kong people discriminate against and bully mainlanders, and thus criticize Zhang Weijian.

But... Xiao Bailong came to the United States in 1986. He is a very good person.

It would be fine if netizens were to discuss right or wrong.

If we only talk about stance, Hong Kong people are also Chinese.

Why are netizens so angry when Chinese people beat up Runren?

Even if you don't support the Hong Kong people, you should at least eat some melon seeds and watch the show, right?
In addition, Zhang Weijian was not banned for beating Xiao Bailong. He filmed many TV series after that incident, and you can find out by checking.

He's just out of fashion!

Back to He Qing, although the character Hua Youlin she played was not the heroine, she was very distinctive. The more Qiong Yao filmed the role, the more she liked her, so she kept adding more scenes for her.

In the end, there were too many scenes, which exceeded the regulations of the Taiwan Film Censorship Bureau and had to be cut. This caused Qiong Yao to have a big argument with the Film Censorship Bureau.

After the broadcast of "Green Grass by the Riverbank", He Qing became famous again and became popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

When He Qing was at the peak of her popularity, it took some determination to give birth to a child for Yang Ye, as this would deal a heavy blow to her career.

However, nowadays, no matter how famous mainland actors are, they can't make much money.

Unless you can become famous in Hong Kong like Jet Li, Leon Lai and Sharla Cheung.

If He Qing wants to go to Hong Kong, it’s very simple. She just needs Yang Ye to support her.

However, when He Qing witnessed the listing of United Artists Pictures in New York and the moment Yang Ye and Yang Xi rang the bell, she discovered a shortcut.

It would be better to give Yang Ye a son than to work so hard and film for the rest of your life.

Now, she finally got what she wanted. "Can I still make movies in the future?" He Qing asked Yang Ye.

She likes filming very much, but she is worried that after having a son, Yang Ye will no longer let her show up in public.

"Of course, take pictures if you like."

For Yang Ye, if He Qing was not Lianlian, not Qin Keqing, not Xiao Qiao, not Li Shishi, not Bao Xiruo... then what's the point of doing it?
He Qing was very happy that Yang Ye was so open-minded, and she said in a sweet voice: "You are so nice!"

He hugged Yang Ye and kissed her actively.

……

Yang Ye began to travel between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

I worked on the post-production of a movie in Hong Kong, and then returned to Shenzhen to take care of He Qing and her son, as well as Fu Yiwei, who was about to give birth.

Then he prepared for the next movie. He had promised Rosamund Kwan that she would be the female lead, and the two of them would also play lovers.

Yang Ye had prepared the script for the movie he wanted to star in many years ago and had a rough plan for filming.

This time, I picked and chose from the inventory and selected one that met the requirements, called "Speed".

The movie is about a gangster who places a bomb on a bus.

As long as the bus goes over fifty miles per hour, it cannot slow down or it will explode.

The male protagonist climbed onto the high-speed bus and experienced a lot of thrilling situations such as traffic jams and no roads with the passengers. Finally, he did not slow down and moved to a road that had not yet been opened, and finally saved a bus of passengers.

This movie was shot entirely on location, with a main theme of thrills and excitement that makes your adrenaline rush and is very exciting.

After its release, it naturally received rave reviews.

"Speed" is Keanu Reeves' breakthrough work, but the charm of this movie does not lie in Keanu's performance, but in the fact that the script is so good.

After Keanu Reeves made his debut, it took him ten years to finally get the chance to star in "Speed".

After the performance, although the movie was a hit, he continued to flop.

Because his acting skills are so damn bad, whatever he plays, he fails.

It remained silent for several years, and then took advantage of the momentum of Hong Kong martial arts masters entering Hollywood.

The moves designed for him by Yuan Heping in "The Matrix" were cool and stylish, making him famous all over the world.

He didn't need any acting skills in "The Matrix", he just had to wear sunglasses and pretend to be cool.

Unfortunately, after showing off, he became out of fashion and failed in every role he played.

It was not until the "Give Me Back My Life" series that he was revived to full health.

Speaking of which, Keanu is really lucky. Every time he is about to finish his game, he encounters a masterpiece.

But Yang Ye didn't know what his fate would be in this time and space.

It is almost 1994, the th anniversary of the birth of film.

All ambitious directors around the world contributed the best work of their careers that year.

Among European and American movies, "Léon: The Professional", "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Schindler's List"... are all worthy of being recorded in film history.

Among Chinese directors, Zhang Yimou brought out "To Live", Jiang Wen brought out "Sunny Days", Ang Lee brought out "Eat Drink Man Woman", and Sunglasses brought out "Chungking Express"...

Yang Ye came into being, and naturally it had to express its appreciation on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of film.

The movie he prepared for 1994 was the science fiction action blockbuster "The Matrix".

……

The heroine of "Speed" is a clean and refreshing short-haired female driver. She experienced life and death with the hero and had a lot of interactions. It was just right for Rosamund Kwan to play the role.

Yang Ye began to prepare, starting with the classic leap over the gap in the highway, which was a must.

When we were filming, this part was not in the script.

However, when the director was inspecting the location, he noticed an unfinished gap on an unfinished highway.

So he asked the screenwriter to add a plot where the bus flies over the unfinished section of the road.

Later, this became a classic scene in the movie.

Yang Ye did the opposite. He first had this plot and then sent people to find a suitable road.

Hong Kong has a small land area and narrow roads, and there are no expressways, but there is a Beijing-Hong Kong line under construction.

It is this Beijing-Hong Kong line that completes the scene in the original movie where the driver drives the bus onto a highway that has not yet been opened to traffic.

In this movie, in addition to car racing, there is also subway riding, and the subway driving was completed by the props team.

……

Before we knew it, it was Christmas time.

Yang Ye has a layoff this year. The main movie of Baiyang Film Industry is "The Legend of Drunken Master" starring Stephen Chow, which grossed 3700 million at the local box office.

So far, Zhou Xingchi started from "All's Well, Ends Well" in the Spring Festival, to "Fight Back to School 2" in the resurrection period, "The Deer and the Cauldron" in the summer period, and "The Legend of Drunken Master" in the Christmas period.

In between, there were movies such as "Justice, My Foot" and "Back to the Future", which was a box office hit from the beginning to the end of the year. This year is also known as the year of Stephen Chow.

Zhou Xingchi has become extremely popular, and his box office appeal in Hong Kong is no less than that of Yang Ye, Chen Long and others, so Baiyang Pictures decided to let him be independent.

Zhou Xingchi can set up his own film company. He only needs to sign a contract with Baiyang Pictures and entrust the overseas distribution of the film to Yangji Agency.

There is nothing wrong with Zhou Xingchi, because Yangye Pictures has complete overseas distribution channels, and it is much better to let Yangye do the distribution than to do it alone.

Everyone in the industry praised Yang Ye for his magnanimity. He caught Zhou Xingchi, a cash cow, but did not squeeze him to death.

When Zhou Xingchi himself was interviewed by the media, he also expressed many times his gratitude to Yang Ye for his recognition and support.

In fact, Yang Ye was just trying to pass the buck.

On the one hand, Zhou Xingchi was bound to leave. He had the ability to be a boss and no one was willing to work for him. Even in the original time and space, he had successfully left the Xiang family.

A forced melon is not sweet. Yang Ye disdains using his power to exploit others. It is better to break up immediately.

On the other hand, Stephen Chow would soon become a big loser, his movies would fail one after another, and his own Color Star Film Company would also go bankrupt.

Also, because he offended the mainland with "From Beijing with Love", his films were not allowed to be shown in the mainland for almost ten years.

Because Zhou Xingchi is not willing to be a clown who only knows how to make people laugh.

He found that although Hong Kong people liked to watch his movies, they actually did not respect him.

When those people talked about him, all they said was that his dick hair was funny or something.

So he wanted to create something with depth, and he injected his own will into the film, making the director a mere decoration.

He became enemies with Johnnie To and produced a very twisted "Journey to the West", which also became the fuse for the conflict between Hong Kong producers and Taiwanese investors.

Finally, he simply became a director himself and started his own directing and acting career, and eventually proved himself with many classic works.

Yang Ye didn't care about Zhou Xingchi's self-owned film company. He was busy taking care of his women.

At the end of 1992, Fu Yiwei gave birth to a son for him and named him Yang Jing.

1993 is coming, and all of Yang Ye’s accumulated inventory over the past few years will be released this year.

This year will truly be called… “Yang Ye Year!” (End of this chapter)
