Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 764 Dream of marrying a wealthy family

When Zhang Guorong said that he wanted to be a director, he naturally wanted to ask Yang Ye for some experience.

Yang Ye did not teach him how to be a director, but pointed out the misunderstandings that novice creators are prone to fall into.

This is to hope that he won't get too stuck in a rut. A movie has been in the works for five or six years, and even with investors in, it hasn't even started shooting.

Most of the time, novices have subjective ideas about their own works and cannot distinguish between good and bad.

In this case, there is no point in constantly changing things.

Newbies should charge forward with drive and enthusiasm.

If you have talent and have accumulated enough experience, you might just become a big hit.

Even if it is not amazing, you can understand your own shortcomings in the process of completing this work.

As for whether Zhang Guorong could listen to it, it was not something Yang Ye could control.

All in all, Yang Ye hopes that he can finish filming "Stealing Hearts" and not let it become a lifelong regret like in the original time and space.

After dinner, Zhang Guorong asked, "Let's go to a bar for a drink later?"

Zhang Manyu said: "If I don't go, my tooth will hurt!"

Wang Zuxian said: "I'm going home!"

Yang Ye still hasn't dealt with Wang Zuxian yet and is about to return to Hong Kong, so why would he go out with Zhang Guorong? He said, "Why don't we play mahjong together?"

The three of them said in unison: "No fight!"

Yang Ye spread his hands: "Then there is nothing we can do, let's go!"

……

Yang Ye didn't take Wang Zuxian away after all!
Yang Ye sat on the plane, thinking about what Wang Zuxian said to him before he left, and couldn't help but sigh.

“I’m so happy to be with you, my brother, and Maggie during this time.

Everyone laments getting old and doesn’t want to continue appearing on the big screen. I’m the same. I hope everyone will only remember my young appearance.

As for the relationship between us, I really love you, but I really can't accept sharing you with others.

I know you have been sending people to protect me, please take them away, for the rest of my life, I just want to live alone..."

……

The crew returned to Hong Kong and filming continued.

Yang Ye divided the crew into two groups, A and B, and shot the parts where he would appear himself.

Since there was no part for him, he let Chen Musheng lead the team in filming.

I will use the free time to focus on the post-production of "Xiao Yao You".

The part of the movie about counterfeiting the new version of US dollars is described in great detail, and the close-ups of the shots of Zhang Guorong drawing US dollars with his bare hands are all of Yang Ye drawing.

The part in the movie where they go to Jinshan Cape to kill the general was filmed in Shenzhen, and they borrowed a few elephants from the zoo for the photo shoot.

Since the painter played by Yang Ye was actually fictionalized by Li Wen, many scenes had to be filmed twice.

Yang Ye performed once and Zhang Guorong performed once, which resulted in the filming progress being slower than that of an ordinary movie.

The abandoned water treatment plant in Yuen Long was transformed into a counterfeit money factory by the crew, and many scenes were filmed here.

The filming continued until the end of December, and the whole movie finally came to an end.

"Industry rules are industry rules!"

Yang Ye said coldly, and shot the electronic version master Uncle Xin dead with one shot.

"Fuck your mother!" Zhang Guorong rushed towards Yang Ye frantically, but was knocked to the ground by Yang Ye's punch.

Yang Ye put away his gun and left coldly. His companions around him all had different expressions.

Chen Musheng shouted "Cut", Zhang Guorong climbed up from the ground, and spat out the blood in his mouth with a "Puh" sound.

Yang Ye asked: "Is it okay?"

"I'm fine. How come you can control your strength so precisely? It doesn't hurt when you hit me."

"I'm an expert, so clean up, it's your turn!"

The makeup artist came over to touch up Zhang Guorong's makeup. This time it was his turn to pick up the gun and said coldly: "Industry rules are industry rules!"

With a "bang", Uncle Xin was killed again.

After this shot was completed, the only thing left was the final scene of burning down the counterfeit money factory and then running away.

The crew wasted no time and finished the filming in one go. Then Yang Ye turned off the camera lens himself and announced, "'Wushuang' has officially wrapped up!"

The crew members cheered and had another wrap-up banquet.

……

After the crew disbanded, Yang Ye stepped up editing and post-production, preparing for the release of "Wushuang" during next year's Spring Festival.

As for this year's Christmas season, the leading movie is "Fast and Furious" starring Liu Hua and Louis Koo.

In order to capture the cool racing effects, the crew invited a professional racing driver to act as a stand-in, and the filming took eight months to complete.

Including the early preparation and post-production, it took nearly two years before the film was released.

But it's all worth it, Liu Hua is suitable for playing this kind of gangster.

After the movie was released, the wild and fiery racing drama made the audience's hormones soar, and it successfully won the Christmas season championship.

Overseas copyrights naturally sell like hot cakes.

After the box office success, director Andrew Lau immediately recalled the original crew and planned to start filming the second part, "Tokyo Drift".

"Tokyo Drift" is the third film of "Fast and Furious" in its original time and space.

The plot of this movie, apart from the car racing, has nothing to do with the main storyline.

But letting Liu Hua continue to star in the film and go to Tokyo to race with the Japanese is a good gimmick.

At the same time, in mainland China, director Feng Xiaokang’s first Lunar New Year film "Party A and Party B" was officially released.

It grossed 5300 million RMB at the box office, making "Sewing the Anus" a veritable little cannon.

The box office is 1700 million more than the original time and space because the current theater chains are better constructed.

Mainland films are still dominated by Hollywood and Hong Kong films. Before the market is officially opened, few people are willing to invest.

However, at the National People's Congress half a year ago, the proposal submitted by Liza Wang had been preliminarily accepted, and the specific terms were also under negotiation.

"Party A and Party B" is a good comedy. There is a very poetic line at the end of the movie: "1997 has passed, and I miss it very much!"

……

Twelve years have passed.

This year, Li Jiaxin, Nakamori Akina, and Li Saifeng gave birth to a son and two daughters for Yang Ye.

Including Liu Xiaoli's stepdaughter Liu Yifei, Yang Ye already has ten sons and seven daughters, seventeen children in total.

The eldest son Yang Hao is 19 years old this year. He has a girlfriend, who turns out to be the Korean beauty Jun Ji-hyun.

When Yang Ye learned about this, he was shocked. Why did this bastard come to my fish pond to catch fish?
No matter what, his son's love affair was a good thing, so Yang Ye went to Zhao Yazhi to find out about the situation.

It turns out that Yang Ritian and Nicholas Tse are good friends. When the new batch of trainees graduated last year, the two of them went to choose concubines, cross out, and pick up girls.

Among this batch of trainees, the most beautiful ones are Zhang Baizhi and Jun Ji-hyun.

The result was that Yang Ritian hooked up with Jun Ji-hyun, and Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi fell in love with each other.

Yang Ye thought it was okay, but if the situation was reversed, and Ritian hooked up with Zhang Baizhi and Lemon hooked up with Jun Ji-hyun, I would be a little worried.

Jun Ji-hyun's love history in the original time and space was very simple, but Zhang Bozhi's love history was too messy. If a photo or something were to be found out in the future, wouldn't it make my Yang family a laughing stock?

Zhao Yazhi asked Yang Ye with some concern: "Wang Zhixian is quite pretty, what's her family situation like?"

Yang Ye said, "Her family is middle class in Seoul, and her family background is clean, you don't have to worry. Besides, they are in love, not married, why are you so worried? You don't think your son will live with a girl all his life, do you?" Zhao Yazhi rolled his eyes: "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Yang Ye chuckled, but thought to himself: "Ritian has a girlfriend, and Tudou will probably not be far behind. I wonder who he will fall in love with."

The Yang family is too rich. Ritian and Tudou, two young men who have just reached adulthood, have been targeted by countless women.

……

During the Spring Festival, "Wushuang" was officially released, along with Chen Long's "A Good Man" and Stephen Chow's "The Lucky Guy".

Chen Long was originally supposed to release "Who Am I" during the Spring Festival this year, but because he was filming "Men in Black", his release plan was postponed.

It just so happened that Yang Ye had asked Chen Musheng to film "Wushuang" some time ago, and now he took the opportunity to recommend Chen Musheng to Chen Long and asked him to help Chen Long film "Who Am I".

As for "Once Upon a Time in China II: The Lion of the Western Region", which was made from the same script as "Who Am I", it did not appear.

Jet Li officially succeeded Hu Bayi. He is now filming "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City" with Hong Jingbao, while Rosamund Kwan is at home breastfeeding her baby.

"The Lion of the West"...it is highly unlikely to appear.

……

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Yang Yu drove a new Mercedes-Benz S600 to an upscale residential area in Kowloon, stopped under a residential building, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Upstairs, a tall and pretty girl looked downstairs and said gently to the phone: "Are you there? Wait for me, I'll be down soon!"

The girl hung up the phone, went back to her room, touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, and was about to go out.

During this period, her mother looked downstairs again and again, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

The car is a luxury car, not something that ordinary people can afford.

But this car is usually driven by successful people, so the owner should be quite old, as her daughter is only seventeen years old.

When the girl came out of the room, her mother immediately asked, "Kathy, who are you going out with?"

"My friend, Albert."

"What does he do?"

“Students.”

"That's it!"

The girl's mother breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not an old man.

But I still feel uneasy.

Their family was middle class, and although they lived well, their life was coming to an end.

In order to achieve class mobility, they carefully train their daughter, hoping that she will have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family in the future.

Don't let yourself be kidnapped by some brat.

The girl's mother asked again: "He drove his father's car here, right?"

"No, this car is a coming-of-age gift from his mother. Albert is very calm, he doesn't like those fancy sports cars, and he doesn't like going out at night. He's like a little old man, very cute."

A car worth one million as a coming-of-age gift? The girl's mother's eyes lit up. It seemed that this family was not ordinary. She asked her daughter, "What does his family do?"

"I'm making movies!"

"Making a movie?" The girl's mother's heart sank. Was he the son of some celebrity?
"Is his father a star?"

"That's it!"

Finished!

Although celebrities are relatively wealthy, they do not meet her expectation of having a woman marry into a wealthy family.

The girl's mother asked persistently, "What are his parents' names?"

"His father is Sir Yang Ye, and his mother is Ms. Xu Feng, the general manager of Baiyang Pictures."

"What?" The girl's mother was shocked: "Say it again?"

"His father is Sir Yang Ye, and his mother is Ms. Xu Feng, the general manager of Baiyang Pictures."

"My dear daughter, you are so promising. Come downstairs quickly, don't let Albert... Albert wait anxiously."

The girl's mother pushed her downstairs.

The girl stamped her feet in dissatisfaction and said, "Mommy, you are too snobbish, are you going to sell your daughter?"

"My dear girl, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is a piece of Tang Monk's meat. You must seize it, understand?"

"Okay, I got it, bye mommy!"

The girl's mother was standing on the balcony. She was relieved when she saw her daughter get into the car. She returned to the living room, only to see her husband looking at her with displeasure: "Kathy is dating someone?"

"Yes!"

The man frowned and said, "How old is she? She's already dating. It will be bad for her reputation if it gets out. Have you forgotten our expectations of her?"

The woman said excitedly: "Do you know who Casey is dating? It's the second son of the Yang family!"

"Which Yang family?"

"Yang Ye, there is another Yang family in Hong Kong. Can you let me lose my composure like this?"

The man also lost his composure: "Other sons would be fine, but the second son of the Yang family, his mother Xu Feng is also a person of great power. What a good daughter, she has good vision!"

……

Kathy got into Potato's car, kissed him and said, "Happy New Year!"

Potato blushed and said, "Happy New Year!"

Yang Tudou's portrait is of his mother. His mother Xu Feng had a heroic look, which she inherited from him, making him an absolutely handsome man.

Influenced by his mother, he has a very calm and taciturn personality, which is in sharp contrast to this cute little beauty.

"What movie are we watching today?"

"My dad's new movie, 'Wushuang'!"

"Yes, yes! Jazz's new movie must be great!"

"Ok!"

Potato uttered a word and started the car.

He drove for a long time and arrived at a relatively remote theater in the New Territories.

Despite this, there were still huge crowds of people here and it was very crowded.

The two bought popcorn and soda, lined up, entered the theater, sat down, and soon the movie started.

"Wushuang" was released in 2018, which has a retro feel. It was released in 1998, years earlier, which is very fashionable.

When Zhuang Wenqiang was writing the script, he found Aaron Kwok to star in it.

As soon as Aaron Kwok read the script, he asked him why he didn't ask Chow Yun Fat?
When Zhuang Wenqiang said he couldn't find Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok helped him find Chow Yun-fat.

This movie is a love letter from Zhuang Wenqiang to Chow Yun-fat.

Zhuang Wenqiang wants young people today to know what Chow Yun Fat means? He is unrivaled in his handsomeness! So the movie is named Wushuang.

In the movie, Chow Yun-fat plays the role of Mark, strong and domineering, while Aaron Kwok plays a weak bottom. The interaction between the two is very interesting.

And the plot twist at the end is also quite plausible.

In this time and space, all of Zhou Runfa's film elements were taken away by Yang Ye.

On the surface, Yang Ye was the one with a strong desire for revenge.

In fact, he also admitted that Chow Yun-fat's image in the movie was very cool and he couldn't help but pull it again and again.
