Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"I love you!"

The morning sun shone on the white sheets. Zhou Xun supported his chin with his hands, looked at Yang Ye's handsome profile, and said obsessively.

She felt that she had met the most perfect lover, handsome, talented, and rich enough to rival a country. He could fight criminals for her and help her rise to fame.

Yang Ye felt a little annoyed because he understood Zhou Xun's character better than she did.

As an actor, Zhou Xun is extremely gifted and talented, but this comes at the cost of his life.

Because she couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy, almost every romance she had before she was 30 was "caused by a role".

Jia Hongsheng, Pu Shu, Li Yapeng... So much so that every time she acted in a play later, her agent would give the male lead a heads-up in advance to prevent any accidents.

When Zhou Xun and Wu Yanzu were acting together, because Wu Yanzu was so handsome, his agent was even more nervous: "Xiao Zhou's experience in filming must be real, it must be like in the play, don't..."

Zhou Xun learned her acting method from Zhang Guorong. When Kaizi Ge was filming "Feng Yue", Zhou Xun got a small role. She stayed in the crew for half a year, observing and asking questions every day, and learned how to act.

There are three major schools of acting: experiential, method and expressionist. In short, the so-called experiential school is to get yourself into the role and become the person in the movie.

Both Zhang Guorong and Zhou Xun are typical experientialists.

Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine" has merged with Zhang Guorong, and even he himself can't tell them apart.

More than a year after Zhou Xun finished starring in "If Love", director Chen Kexin received a text message from her: "BJ's river is frozen"!
Only then did Chen Kexin realize that after so long, she was still in the play and still considered herself Sun Na.

There is only one girl like this. If Yang Ye took her in and kept her as a child, it would be a waste of talent.

If she were allowed to film a movie, she would definitely cheat on Yang Ye. Even if she didn't want to, she couldn't control herself.

She said: "I actually feel pretty pathetic. I'm just an actor, and for a while I couldn't differentiate between life and acting, which led to several failed relationships."

Later, she was able to tell the difference: "I couldn't tell the difference before! But now I can tell the difference clearly, because I have suffered a lot. Now there will be something in my mind that reminds me that this is a filming."

But once I can tell the difference, the spiritual energy is gone.

Zhou Xun later switched to method acting and never won another major award. She was even mocked for her poor acting skills when she played Da Ru, and she just pouted her lips and forced herself to look young.

……

"Let's go to the movies!" Yang Ye said, stroking Zhou Xun's thin shoulders.

Zhou Xun happily said, "Okay, what are you looking at?"

“Speed ​​is released today!”

"Your movie!"

"Yeah, but it's still early."

Yang Ye held Zhou Xun down and fired again.

……

"So many people!"

Yang Ye brought Zhou Xun to the International Cinema on the top floor of the newly opened Donglai Plaza in Beijing. Zhou Xun exclaimed as he looked at the crowds of people.

Although it was snowing, the audience's enthusiasm for watching "Speed" remained unabated, and people coming to buy tickets lined up in a long queue.

In this case, it is impossible to buy tickets.

Yang Ye randomly found a staff member, pulled her aside, took off her hat and sunglasses, and revealed her true face.

"Yang...Boss Yang!" The staff member had dreamed that the big boss would appear here and almost shouted out loud.

"Shh! Keep quiet and take me to see your manager!"

"Oh, okay, Mr. Yang!"

When the cinema manager saw Yang Ye, before he could speak, Yang Ye said, "Manager Zhang, I want to come and watch a movie, but I don't have a ticket. Can you help me arrange one?"

Manager Zhang was extremely excited. He didn't expect Yang Ye to know him.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it. Yang Ji does not have many cinemas in the mainland. Yang Ye naturally knows who has been appointed as managers after looking at the list.

"Okay, Director Yang, I'll arrange it right away! Please go to my office and take a rest first!"

"Okay!" Yang Ye agreed.

Manager Zhang led the way in front, and Yang Ye followed behind with Zhou Xun by the hand.

It wasn't long before the theater was ready.

It was a VIP room. Manager Zhang cancelled the screening on the grounds that the projector was malfunctioning and gave the guests double compensation.

In the film era, a movie had to be divided into several copies. The staff only needed to wait for other screening halls to finish showing one copy and then immediately take it to this screening hall for screening.

This was the first time that Zhou Xun watched a special show in such a luxurious VIP room, which made him very happy.

She sat on the leather sofa, leaning on Yang Ye's shoulder, and talked about the time when she watched movies in the cinema when she was a child.

Zhou Xun's father was a projectionist at a state-owned film studio, and she had been going to the cinema to watch movies since she was three years old.

She has a slight stutter and is not very good at expressing herself, but she is very excited when talking about her childhood.

She also took out her wallet and showed Yang Ye her childhood photos.

Yang Ye listened with great interest. Soon, the staff prepared the copies and the movie began to show.

The characteristic of "Speed" is that there are so many crises that it is overwhelming, very tense and exciting, and makes people breathless.

Zhou Xun wanted to chat with Yang Ye at first, but soon she nervously grabbed Yang Ye's arm and stopped talking.

After the movie was over, Yang Ye's arms were almost blue from being scratched.

When the subtitles appeared, Yang Ye asked, "Is it good to watch?"

“Watch out!”

"You watched so many movies when you were a kid, so you should have a good appreciation for them. Why don't you give us a review?"

Zhou Xun tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I think their love is beautiful, the kind of love that is tested in times of adversity."

Yang Ye couldn't help but turned his head away and rolled his eyes.

Damn, this is an action movie. Do you feel that love is beautiful after watching it?
Yang Ye turned his head, looked at Zhou Xun's clean little face, and asked seriously: "When you woke up this morning, you said, "You fell in love with me?"

Zhou Xun said as a matter of course: "Yes!"

Yang Ye said cruelly: "You should have a boyfriend!"

Zhou Xun's face changed. She just remembered that she had a boyfriend.

But after Yang Ye saved her in the bar last night, she forgot all about Dou Peng.

She thought for a while before she said apprehensively, "I will break up with him!"

Yang Ye said: "Do you remember what they said after they escaped from the bus in the movie?"

Zhou Xun nodded: "Remember!"

In that scene, the heroine said to the hero: "Are you starting to have feelings for me?"

The male protagonist said: "Yes!"

The heroine said, "I knew a relationship that started like this wouldn't last!"

Yang Ye repeated: "Love like this won't last long!"

Zhou Xun was very smart. She understood that Yang Ye was hinting at something. Her relationship with Yang Ye developed too quickly.

She thought about it and responded with the last line of the movie: "They can use sex to maintain it!"

In the last subway incident, the hero once again saves the heroine.

The heroine took the initiative to kiss the hero, but the hero said: "I warn you, a relationship that starts like this will not last long."

The heroine said: "Then let's use sex to maintain it!"

Yang Ye said in a cold tone: "For a successful man, the thing he lacks the least is sex."

Yang Ye has said it very bluntly. If he is willing, there will be countless women lining up to wait for him.

Zhou Xun's expression suddenly changed: "You... don't want me?"

Last night, she fell in love with Yang Ye, and the two spent a wonderful night together.

She didn't expect that after just one night, this would be the outcome. Yang Ye pulled up his pants and refused to admit it. He was too cold and heartless.

Zhou Xun was very sad, with tears welling up in his eyes.

She wanted to hold it back, but in the end she couldn't, and a tear slid down her cheek.

In her previous life, Yang Ye was a die-hard fan of Zhou Xun. She even went on stage to present flowers to her when she was singing. Seeing her sad, she felt a little distressed.

He reached out to wipe away her tears and said softly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it yesterday, but I'm married and have children, so we can't have a future."

Zhou Xun was in a state of confusion for a moment. She curled up her body and thought for a long time before she said with her nose shrunk: "I had a very happy time last night."

Yang Ye nodded: "I am also very happy to meet you."

"I'm leaving!"

"Ok!"

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Zhou Xun stood up and slowly walked out of the screening room. He walked faster and faster until he started running, as if he was escaping from a panic.

Zhou Xun came out of the cinema and walked aimlessly on the street. He saw a telephone booth in front of him, so he walked over, inserted a coin, and called Dou Peng.

"Where are you?"

Dou Peng said on the other end of the phone: "I'm having shabu-shabu with my brother and the others. Do you want to come over? We're in..."

"No!"

"That's fine. We've already eaten half of the meal and will be leaving soon. Do you want to talk to me about something?"

"fine!"

"Looking to me for a chat?"

"Brother Peng, let's break up!"

"Ah, what's going on?" Dou Peng was confused.

"I'm in love with someone else!"

“Fuck!” Dou Peng cursed. The phone was busy. Beep, beep, beep…

"What's going on?" asked Dou Wei, who was drinking nearby.

"Damn it, bitch, you dumped me!" Dou Peng looked at the phone in his hand, speechless.

"Hahaha, good job. Let you show off all day long!" Several rock youths at the same table laughed heartily.

Zhou Xun hung up the phone and stood blankly in the phone booth for a long time, looking at the heavy snow and the white city, not knowing where to go.

"I ran so fast that I almost couldn't catch up with you."

"you……"

Zhou Xun was stunned, she didn't expect Yang Ye to catch up with her, she didn't know what he wanted to do?

"Aren't you going to follow me to Hong Kong?"

Zhou Xun was even more confused now. She didn’t understand what Yang Ye was thinking: “You… don’t want me?”

"I feel that this relationship will not have an ending, so it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It is better to make it clear while we are not deeply involved with each other."

"Then what?"

"You want to act. I will help you with this. My novel 'The Sea' is going to be adapted into a TV series, and you will have a role as the heroine."

Zhou Xun thought, he slept with me, but didn't want me, and gave me a heroine, he...

"Is this a deal? Or are you compensating me?"

"Whether it's a deal or compensation, you have to understand that this is an important opportunity for your life. Don't miss it and don't give up!"

For Yang Ye, sleeping with Zhou Xun fulfilled his dream from his previous life, but with Zhou Xun's personality, he would definitely cheat on him, which he couldn't accept, so he just let it go after they slept together!

But Zhou Xun is a gifted actor, and this cannot be given up, so he still has to help her.

Zhou Xun couldn't understand Yang Ye's logic, but he knew that ATV's martial arts dramas were extremely popular in mainland China and were almost the common memory of a generation.

And "Cang Hai" is a novel written by Yang Ye herself. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the female lead in such a TV series.

She had a big fight with her classmate Chen Lifeng for the role of a maid in the Qiong Yao drama "Between Water and Clouds", let alone the heroine in such a big drama?
But she was still very hesitant because she didn't know how to face Yang Ye.

"I...I don't know what to do!"

Yang Ye walked over, hugged her in his arms, and said earnestly: "Xiao Xun, life is long, love is not everything, career is more important, one day you will understand!"

Zhou Xun pushed him away: "No, don't hug me!"

Yang Ye let go of her: "Okay, I won't hug you, then do you want to go?"

"I go!"

"That's right! Go get your passport first. My secretary will take care of the arrangements for you to work in Hong Kong.

I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. When you arrive in Hong Kong, call me and I will send someone to pick you up!"

Yang Ye said as he handed Zhou Xun a card.

"Thank you!" Zhou Xun held the card tightly in his hand. Without love, career is impossible to be without.

"You're welcome!"

……

Yang Ye quickly returned to Hong Kong and continued filming "The Matrix".

Some people don't understand why Yang Ye, who was the one who came up with the idea of ​​"Jurassic Park", gave it to Spielberg.

This is because the protagonists of Jurassic are giant dinosaurs, and humans are just a group of people being chased, mainly responsible for screaming, without any style at all.

High-end action actors were not interested in this movie, not just Yang Ye. Spielberg invited Harrison Ford to act in the film, but Harrison refused without even a second thought.

But Ziqi Company was involved in the entire project, and for this movie, Ziqi Company made a lot of preparations several years in advance.

The final effect was stunning, and the Purple Air East Special Effects Studio became one of the world's top special effects studios.

Yang Ye personally guest-starred in the filming of "Kunlun" last year. After the TV series was broadcast, the ratings were very high, especially when he personally appeared in the first few episodes.

Because the later plot was too controversial, this TV series was not introduced to the mainland.

However, after the broadcast of "Kunlun", the filming of "Canghai" was put on the agenda.

"Cang Hai" has two male protagonists, Lu Jian and Gu Zhen are half brothers.

Lu Jian is calm and steady, with extraordinary martial arts skills, while Gu Zhen is agile and has unparalleled wisdom and strategies.

When Feng Ge was writing these two characters, he actually just used the template of Guo Jing and Huang Rong and changed the skin.

The only difference is that the romantic relationship between Guo Jing and Huang Rong was replaced by the brotherly relationship between Lu Jian and Gu Zhen.

Feng Ge also assigned two female protagonists to each of them.

In addition, Yang Ye made some modifications when copying the novel.

The roles of Lu Jian’s Japanese sister Oda Kaki and Gu Zhen’s Persian sister Aiyis have been increased.

This formed a main character group of two men and six women, plus some characters from East Island and West City. Since there were too many characters, the degree of completion was not very high.

But it doesn’t matter. The martial arts in this TV series are very fantastic, and coupled with the gimmicks of Yang Ye’s original work, the film is still worth watching.

As the author of the novel, Yang Ye directly selected the actors to play the roles of several protagonists.

Lu Jian is actually a shell of Guo Jing, so Yang Ye chose Julian Cheung to play the role, so that he can play Guo Jing after the film is finished.

Gu Zhen was a cover for Huang Rong, so Yang Ye chose Gu Tianle to play the role, so that he could play Yang Guo after the role was completed.

Yang Ye gave Zhou Xun the role of Lu Jian's official partner Yao Qing, so that she could play Huang Rong in the next drama.

Gu Zhen's official partner Shi Miaomiao is Li Ruotong, so it will be convenient for her to play the role of Little Dragon Girl in the next drama.

This is actually paving the way for ATV to remake Jin Yong's dramas for the second time. (End of this chapter)
