Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu
Chapter 704: The Blood and Tears History of Chinese Workers
The wealthy people in Hong Kong usually look very prestigious.
But when they meet the White Dragon King, they must kneel respectfully before him and let him touch their heads and kill them.
At this moment, when White Dragon King saw Yang Ye, he knelt down in front of him respectfully.
This scene was too shocking for the Hong Kong entertainment industry people present at the scene.
Three years ago, the White Dragon King predicted that Liang Caowei's career would usher in a turning point.
And Liang Caowei has now been crowned the Best Actor, which once again proves White Dragon King's ability to make accurate predictions.
And such an awesome, half-immortal-like person actually knelt down in front of Yang Ye and saluted.
Unconsciously, everyone looked at Yang Ye with awe in their eyes.
Yang Ye frowned and said, “Master, three years ago you claimed that I was the reincarnation of Ziweixing. If that is true, aren’t you afraid of being punished by the gods for revealing the secret?”
The White Dragon King said, "I know my crime."
Yang Ye shook his head: "Whether you are guilty or not has nothing to do with me. I just find it boring. I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, for more than ten years, and then I entered the industry and worked hard for more than twenty years. But you wiped out everything with your words of destiny."
After Yang Ye finished speaking, he sighed and walked out.
Walking to the side of Bai Longwang and Liang Caowei, he paused for a moment and said to Liang Caowei, "Wei Zai, do you think that you won the Best Actor award because of your own efforts or because of fate?"
Liang Cao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Yang Ye patted his shoulder, said no more, and walked straight out of the banquet hall.
……
In recent years, the rumor that Yang Ye is the reincarnation of Ziweixing has become more and more mysterious.
Especially in coastal areas, some people really worship him as a god.
To be honest, Yang Ye had seen many cases of worshipping living people.
In the later e-commerce era, every year on June 618th and Double Eleven, people would worship Ma Daddy and Dong Ge.
The current situation is caused by Yang Ye using too much force when he killed Fei Li.
Once this perception is formed among the people, it will be useless for him to deny it.
That’s why today’s drama happened. Yang Ye was expressing his attitude: he personally did not agree with the idea of reincarnation of gods, and felt that this negated his efforts over the years.
However, he has created so many masterpieces over the years, and this cannot be explained by just hard work.
Therefore, the saying that he is the reincarnation of Ziwei Star will continue to circulate.
Yang Ye left halfway through the celebration banquet.
As soon as he left, the White Dragon King followed.
He also told Liang Caowei that he had angered Ziweixing today and would never set foot in Hong Kong again. If Liang Caowei had any problems, he could go to Thailand to find him.
……
When Yang Ye returned to the company, he called Huo Baozhu over.
Huo Baozhu hasn't been doing well lately.
At the beginning, as soon as Yang Ye saw Zhao Xueer, he tried to poach him.
Because Zhao Xueer had just signed a contract with Feitu, he directly acquired Feitu Records.
Such an inhumane way made Zhao Xueer think that Yang Ye had taken a fancy to her.
After Zhao Xueer joined Yang Ji, Huo Baozhu was appointed as her agent.
Both of them thought that their luck was about to change and were very much looking forward to the future.
However, since then, Yang Ye never met Zhao Xueer again, let alone wrote songs for her.
After joining Yangji, Zhao Xueer was not taken seriously and only got the role of the second female lead in the TV production company's new drama "Love Across Time and Space".
The male lead of this TV series is a newcomer from the mainland. He is not handsome and looks very hopeless at first glance.
This left Zhao Xueer and Huo Baozhu completely confused. As soon as Yang Ye saw Zhao Xueer, he poached him on the spot and acquired Feitu in such a heartless way. What was his purpose?
In fact, Yang Ye acquired Feitu because Feitu's optical disc business was doing very well and was one of the best in Hong Kong, so it would be beneficial to buy it.
But the two girls didn't know the reason and they thought that Yang Ye had taken a fancy to Zhao Xueer.
Huo Baozhu walked into Yang Ye's office and said respectfully, "Boss, you are looking for me!"
"Baozhu is here, please sit down! Amy, make me some coffee."
Yang Ye has many secretaries, who are responsible for summarizing the relevant content of each of Yang Ye’s businesses. Li Zhi is their immediate superior.
As for Amy, she is just an ordinary secretary, and her duties are similar to those of a clerk.
Huo Baozhu sat down in front of Yang Ye's desk, and Yang Ye asked casually, "How do you feel after joining the company?"
"It's great. The working atmosphere of the company gives people a very comfortable feeling."
"Please or is it the truth?"
"To be honest, I started working when I was 16, so I've seen a lot of the world. I've never worked for a company that's so humane and considerate of its employees. I feel very happy to work for such a company."
"Okay! I mean, in the past few months since you joined the company, have you felt any disappointment that didn't meet your expectations?"
Huo Baozhu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Yang Ye was serious and didn't dare to play tricks in front of him, she told the truth: "Yes, I thought that after you met Xue Er, you bought Feitu with great fanfare, and you must have attached great importance to Xue Er. Who knew... it didn't happen."
Yang Ye smiled and said, "You think I didn't take care of Zhao Xueer, but actually, she is an artist who was parachuted in, and being able to play the second female lead in "Love Across Time and Space" is already very caring for her.
However, you think that I acquired Feitu because of Zhao Xueer, which is a wrong perception. Zhao Xueer's conditions are not good in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult for her to go far. "
Huo Baozhu was very surprised. It turned out that she and Zhao Xue were just being wishful thinking?
She was very surprised and said: "Then you..."
Yang Ye did not answer, but said: "I plan to hand Yuan Yongyi over to you and let you be her manager. Are you interested?"
Huo Baozhu had met Yuan Yongyi before and knew that she was extremely difficult to deal with, so she couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this.
The original first-line actresses of Yangji, including Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian, have retired directly, and Guan Zhilin, Gong Li and others have also begun to reduce their production.
Yuan Yongyi is the first-line actress that the company is promoting now. It is a great opportunity to become her agent.
As an agent, having strong abilities is one thing, but what’s more important is to be with an awesome artist.
If you follow a weak and powerless person, even if you have all the skills, you may not be able to display them well.
If you follow a popular young person, even if you don't have any special abilities, you can still enjoy a good life.
Of course, if you really have no ability, you won’t be able to hold on to such a good position.
Huo Baozhu didn't want to miss the opportunity and planned to agree immediately, but this matter was too strange.
She is just a rookie in the industry, but Yuan Yongyi is a popular actress. What qualifications and abilities does she have that the company would choose her to be Yuan Yongyi's agent?
So, before making a decision, she couldn't help but ask: "Can I ask why you chose me?"
Yang Ye flipped open a document and said, "I have checked your performance over the past few months. Since you joined the company and became Zhao Xueer's agent, you have done an excellent job. The company did not allocate any resources to Zhao Xueer, but you made full use of the advantages of the platform and got a lot of work for her, and even an advertising endorsement.
Jingjing is difficult to deal with, and she is my woman, most people don't dare to deal with her. Therefore, choosing an agent for her is a very difficult thing.
In fact, Jingjing is not a bad person by nature, but she has been spoiled at home since she was a child, and developed a spoiled character. She does not know how to handle interpersonal relationships, so she offended many people after entering the industry.
I hope that after you become her agent, you can manage her a little bit and prevent her from offending others. Even if she does offend others, you should help minimize the negative impact."
Yang Ye directly admitted that Yuan Yongyi was her woman. Huo Baozhu was not surprised. A few months ago, Yang Ye took a plane to deliver roasted pigeon to Yuan Yongyi.
However, she suddenly felt that this matter was troublesome: Yuan Yongyi has you, Yang Ye, protecting her, and she is a tough nut that no one in the company can handle. If you throw it to me, how can I be able to handle it?
If I give in to her, she will still do as she pleases. If I control her too harshly, she will complain to you, and I will be in a difficult situation.
She said helplessly: "This job is really challenging. Can I make a request?"
"Say it!"
"I will definitely do my best to treat my work, but...if there is any conflict between me and Miss Yuan, can you please not take sides?"
"If she comes to me to tell on you, then you haven't done your job well."
Huo Baozhu was speechless. She felt that this kind of thing was impossible to avoid. At least in the beginning, there would definitely be conflicts between the two.
And you, Mr. Yang, have directly stated that you will go astray. How can we play this game?
Huo Baozhu said: "She is your woman, and I am just an outsider. If you don't give me privileges, I don't know how to do this job.
Because if she and I have a dispute, and you take her side, I will be in trouble and may even have to pack up and leave."
"You are very brave, and you dare to bargain with me. But what you said does make some sense.
If Jing Jing acts like a boss lady, you really won’t be able to do anything to her. However, the solution is actually very simple.”
Huo Baozhu quickly listened attentively: "What's the solution?"
Yang Ye said: "If your identity becomes the same as hers, then she won't be able to suppress you by being a boss lady."
"what……"
Huo Baozhu was stunned.
The meaning of Yang Ye's words was very clear, he wanted Huo Baozhu to be his woman like Yuan Yongyi.
Yang Ye said: “Baozhu, actually Wang Jing beckoned Zhao Xueer to come over to meet him that day, it was just a cover, the real purpose was to see you.”
"See me?" Huo Baozhu was shocked again.
Yang Ye nodded: "That's right. After all, you were just Zhao Xueer's assistant at that time. It would be difficult for you to call you directly without her. It would be more natural to invite her to meet you by the way."
Huo Baozhu was inexplicably happy after hearing this. A big shot like Yang Ye actually took some time to want to see her. Considering her situation, she felt a little flattered.
"Why... do you want to see me?"
This is a question you ask despite knowing the answer. Of course, this LSP likes you.
Yang Ye said: “You should have heard that I am very good at judging people. I can tell at a glance that Zhao Xuehui will not have a great career.
And you seem to have a better chance of becoming famous than her, but unfortunately after chatting with you, I realized that you are not interested in this.
All in all, if you can deal with Yuan Yongyi with your own ability, everyone will be happy.
If you can't handle it and choose to take a shortcut, that's easy.
As long as you become my woman, you will naturally be on an equal footing with Yuan Yongyi, and she won't be able to bully others by taking advantage of her power!"
"This..." Huo Baozhu was really convinced.
Yang Ye seemed to give her two choices, but Anita Yuen was notoriously difficult to deal with.
It would be too difficult to deal with her without using Yang Ye's connections, but it would be too easy to just throw myself into Yang Ye's arms.
Following Yang Ye, it doesn’t matter if I can’t handle Anita Yuen. If I can’t handle it, then I can’t handle it.
Yang Ye is so generous to women, and you will have everything if you follow him.
However, Yang Ye's words aroused Huo Baozhu's competitive spirit. She said, "I want to try to get along with Yuan Yongyi."
"Have some backbone!"
Yang Ye gave a thumbs up and didn't say much.
Huo Baozhu was a woman with great potential. If she gave in directly, it would be meaningless to Yang Ye. It would just be like adding another canary in the cage.
But she chose not to give in and insisted on taking on Anita Yuen, which led to a lot of exciting dramas.
This is actually a good thing for Yang Ye.
……
Yang Ye introduced Huo Baozhu to Anita Yuen. He didn't have time to watch the quarrel between the two of them, so he took his people to Los Angeles to help Tom Cruise with the "Mission Impossible" series.
The "Mission Impossible" series was actually a feature film at the beginning, relying on the plot and with very few action scenes, which is somewhat similar to the later "The Bourne Supremacy".
But the second film was directed by John Woo, who made Tom Cruise act cool in all kinds of ways. Sunglasses, motorcycles, windbreakers, explosions, pigeons... all of them appeared on Tom.
As a result, "Mission Impossible 2" won the global box office championship that year, and since then this series has been led astray by John Woo.
When Yang Ye directed "Mission Impossible" for Tom Cruise, he did not plan to have too many action scenes, but to stick to the original work and win with the plot.
Of course, at the end of the movie, the thrilling scenes of climbing onto high-speed trains and airplanes with bare hands are highlighted.
Otherwise, it would become a pure spy film.
When Yang Ye arrived in Los Angeles, he happened to meet King Hu, Leung Ka Fai, Cherie Chung and others.
"The Blood and Tears of the Chinese Workers", a film that King Hu had been preparing for more than ten years, was finally completed with the funding from Xu Feng.
This is a movie that was not made in its original time and space. It tells the story of the massacre of Chinese miners by Irish miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming, USA in 1885.
The cause of the riot was just one word: roll!
There is a mine in Rock Springs. The miners are mainly Irish. They are provided with food and accommodation and are paid two dollars a day.
Later, the Chinese came and worked more than the Irish every day for only one dollar.
In this case, the mine owners naturally didn't want the Irish, but the Chinese.
The Irish were furious and cursed the Chinese in the newspapers of Rock Springs City, demanding that they make corrections within a certain period of time.
But Chinese people don’t understand English and almost never buy newspapers to read, so the effect is zero.
The Irish couldn't hold it anymore and killed a Chinese.
The Chinese were not easy to mess with, and they killed an Irishman.
The mine owner came out to mediate. For his own benefit, he naturally sided with the Chinese workers. The mediation failed and the riots began...
The matter was not resolved until the US President sent troops to cover the evacuation of the Chinese workers. (End of this chapter)
