Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"Twilight" is a very melodramatic film series.

It is equivalent to a fantasy version of "Tiny Times".

Oh, I got it wrong. I should say that "Tiny Times" is the real-life version of "Twilight".

Because when Guo Si was filming "Tiny Times", some of the lighting and camera movements were directly copied from "Twilight".

For example, in Twilight, there is a scene where K sits in front of the window and misses Edward.

The camera keeps rotating, the scenery outside the window changes, the background music is a song, and then there is Xiao K's narration.

There is also a scene in "Tiny Times" where Yang Mi sits in front of the window and misses Zhou Chongguang.

The camera keeps rotating, the seasons change outside the window, the background music is a song, and then there is Yang Mi's narration.

For Yang Ye, he thought both movies were fucking rubbish.

However, no matter how bad they were, he still enjoyed watching them and watched both series without missing a single one.

Because the protagonists in the drama are all good-looking. "Tiny Times" has Yang Mi and Guo Biting, "Twilight" has Kristen, and the second female lead Ashley is also good.

In this kind of idol drama, you just need to look at the faces, why bother about the plot and acting?

Robert Pattinson, the male lead of "Twilight", said that he acted in the entire movie with a constipated expression on his face.

This is his dark history. After he became famous, when he went out on the street, people called him Edward, but he pretended not to hear.

He once played a small supporting role as Cedric in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and he felt it was an honor for him.

If fans call him Cedric, he will happily run over to shake hands and take photos with them.

So when Yang Ye wanted to promote his godson Nicholas Tse, he naturally thought of the movie "Twilight".

Because Nicholas Tse always has a constipated expression on his face when acting, which is a perfect fit.

Twilight is also very easy to adapt.

In 1998, the most popular TV series in the Chinese world was My Fair Princess, and the second most popular TV series was My Date with a Vampire.

This drama is still in the filming stage and has not been aired yet.

Yang Ye only needs to apply the settings of "My Date with a Vampire" to "Twilight".

For example, Allen's family in "Twilight" are vampires, so they are set as a family of generals.

Then the wolf-dog family was set as the Pangu tribe.

To make it even more ridiculous, the heroine is set to have the blood of Nuwa, so both sides have to be her lickspittles.

It doesn't have to be too rigorous, as long as it makes sense.

Anyway, this movie is for watching handsome men and beautiful women.

Yang Ye brought together three leading actors, Nicholas Tse, Zhang Bozhi, and Chen Guanxi, which is considered the pinnacle of appearance among the 1980s generation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

It is guaranteed to make boys and girls crazy about it.

He did what he said. A few days later, Yang Ye called director Liu Weiqiang and screenwriter Chen Shisan over.

During this time in the original time and space, Liu Weiqiang was working on "Storm Warriors", and then "Chinese Hero".

Yang Ye asked Xu Ke to prepare these two films in advance, so he had nothing to do with it.

After the financial crisis in 97, the Hong Kong entertainment industry entered a real cold winter.

Investors can barely protect themselves, so there is little money to invest in the film and television industry.

Small film companies have closed down one after another, and large companies are also half-dying.

Golden Harvest announced its closure and sold its film library to Yeung Kee to fill the hole in real estate.

Only Yangji was not affected, and the development of several major film series was in full swing.

As a result, a large number of employees came to Yangji to start work.

However, Yangji has limited jobs, and many employees can only work at home, and Liu Weiqiang is one of them.

Fortunately, the negotiations on co-production films have been almost completed, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be opened by the end of the year.

For Yang Ye, everything is moving in a good direction.

……

Yang Ye spent several hours coming up with the script outline for the first part of "Twilight" and gave it to Chen Shisan to perfect.

As a screenwriter, Chen Shisan felt a headache when reading this script.

For example, in the script, the hero tells the heroine: "I killed forty or fifty people!"

"You really shouldn't be with me because I want to kill you."

Then the heroine said, "It doesn't matter, I love you!"

I'm afraid both the male and female protagonists are mentally ill.

Yang Ye didn't care about that and explained the script and the key points of the filming to them:

“My definition of this movie is a youth idol movie.

Don’t worry about whether the plot is stupid or not, just follow my instructions and I guarantee the box office will explode.

My requirement is that the scenery must be beautiful, the people must be nice, and there must not be any ugly place.

Aqiang, you are a photographer by profession, I believe you can do it."

The two nodded in agreement, holding the script outline, and went there confused.

Yang Ye talked to the two of them for a long time and felt a headache coming on.

He lay on the chair, pinching the bridge of his nose with his fingers. Seeing this, Huo Baozhu hurried over to help him massage his shoulders.

Yang Ye enjoyed the woman's massage and asked, "Have Lemon and Bai Zhi arrived?"

"I'm here, waiting outside."

Yang Ye hummed, and then asked: "Where is Chen Guanxi? Have you found him?"

"Found him. His father, Chen Zeming, is a wealthy businessman. He's very rich and famous, so he's easy to find. But his name isn't Chen Guanxi. His name is Chen Xinghua."

"Oh, did he promise to come?"

"Chen Zeming wasn't interested at first, but when he heard that you were looking for his son, he relented. But he did ask how you knew his son, and he also said that you should call his son Guan Xi instead of Guan Xi."

Yang Ye thought, damn, I forgot about this. He asked, "How do you answer?"

“I said that you had accidentally met him when you were filming at the Jamahiriya University.

We were planning to start a play and thought his appearance was suitable, so we sent someone to look for him.

As for the name, we got it wrong when we asked."

"Well, where are the others?"

"After we contacted Chen Guanxi the day before yesterday, he was very interested and bought a plane ticket back to Hong Kong. He has now arrived at the company."

"Call them all in!"

"Ok!"

……

Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi were flirting with each other, while Chen Guanxi was sitting aside by himself.

Both sides attracted each other's attention, and knowing that they were both here to see Yang Ye, they got to know each other.

"I'm Nicholas, Nicholas Tse, she's Cecilia, Cecilia Cheung, we're all artists, what about you?"

Chen Guanxi introduced himself in a very arrogant manner: "My name is Edison, Chen Xinghua, and I am a very qualified person."

Xie Tingfeng asked: "Why do you think so?"

"Every time I pee, I use my urine to flush the shit stuck to the toilet!"

"Puchi!" Zhang Baizhi laughed out loud.

Nicholas Tse said speechlessly: "He is indeed very well-mannered!"

At this time, Huo Baozhu came out: "Come with me!"

……

Yang Ye found Chen Guanxi not to deliberately trick Nicholas Tse.

Instead, he wanted to take advantage of idol dramas like "Twilight" and needed to find a handsome young man, and Chen Guanxi was just the right person.

Chen Guanxi will enter the entertainment industry sooner or later, and they will get together sooner or later.

They were all good-looking young men and women with strong hormones. It was normal for them to fall in love and have sex. Unless Yang Ye deliberately prevented Chen Guanxi from entering the entertainment industry, or even ordered him to be banned.

But it is impossible for Yang Ye to do such a strange thing for no reason.

So we can only let it be.

Xie Zhangchen followed Huo Baozhu into Yang Ye's office.

Nicholas Tse shouted, "Godfather!"

Zhang Baizhi followed and shouted, "Uncle Yang!"

Chen Guanxi shouted, "Hello, Sir Yang!"

Yang Ye nodded to Xie Tingfeng and asked, "Where's Yang Hao?"

Nicholas Tse laughed and said, "He said he stole your cruise ship and was afraid you would beat him up, so he didn't dare to come."

Yang Ye said speechlessly: "It's fine for you to go out on the boat for fun, but don't cross the border and run into the mainland, or you'll be caught by the coast guard. Forget it this time, but don't do it again."

"understood!"

Yang Ye then said to Zhang Baizhi, "Baizhi is getting prettier and prettier. I heard that you are dating Lemon?"

Zhang Baizhi said generously: "Yes!"

Nicholas Tse did not say anything, but just nodded shyly.

This guy is usually very arrogant, but he is very well behaved in front of Yang Ye.

Maybe it's because he was beaten when he was a child, which left him with psychological trauma.

But he also understood that Yang Ye actually treated him very well, and it was Yang Ye who paved the way for him to enter the entertainment industry.

Yang Ye smiled and said, "Lemon, you are very lucky. How did you catch up with Bai Zhi?"

Zhang Baizhi said: "I was the one who chased him!"

Yang Ye laughed loudly: "Awesome! Awesome!"

In the original time and space, Nicholas Tse's true love was Wang Fei, and Zhang Baizhi had a secret crush on Nicholas Tse, but she never told him and Nicholas Tse didn't know either.

Zhang Baizhi once said on a variety show that she had a crush on someone, but the other person didn't know.

Later, probably when I found an opportunity, I told Nicholas Tse.

If a young man full of vigor and vitality has a beautiful woman secretly in love with you, even if you were not interested in her before, you will definitely be very happy after knowing it.

Moreover, even if Xie didn't love Zhang that much, how many people could resist such a young body?
It was only natural for the two of them to get together afterwards.

Yang Ye chatted with the two for a few words before saying to Chen Guanxi, "You are indeed very handsome. Do you know why I came to see you?"

Chen Guanxi said: "I heard that they want to find me to make a movie!"

"Yes, that's right! Our company is planning to make a movie. I accidentally saw your photo and thought you were very suitable, so I asked someone to find you. Do you have any acting experience?"

"no!"

"What are your usual hobbies?"

“Music, photography.”

"Photography is not good for you. You should do it less in the future." Yang Ye suddenly said something nonsensical.

"Ah?" Chen Guanxi looked confused.

Yang Ye said no more: "I called you three here because the company is preparing a series of movies.

I think the three of you are very suitable for the role, so I hope you three can play the leading roles in the movie."

The three were overjoyed, but also a little nervous. They had never acted in a movie before, but they were asked to take on such a leading role. Could they handle it?

Zhang Baizhi was slightly better, having been a trainee at Yangji for several years and having received professional training.

Nicholas Tse had filmed a movie with Yang Ye before, but Teacher Chen didn't know how to do it at all.

Yang Ye didn't care whether they could do it or not, and said: "As long as you listen to my instructions, I guarantee that you will become famous in this play."

Yang Ye promised, and the three of them thanked him repeatedly.

Yang Ye spent a few minutes describing to them what kind of movie he was going to make. The three of them never expected that it would be a zombie movie.

In 1985, Liu Guanwei invited Qian Xiaohao, Lin Zhengying and others to shoot "Mr. Vampire", which earned 2000 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office and made zombie movies a little popular.

But it was short-lived. The box office performance of subsequent sequels was worse than the previous one, and soon no one was interested in it and it disappeared.

In 1995, Lin Zhengying had no movies to shoot, so ATV invited him to film a TV series called "Mr. Vampire". The ratings were pretty good, so a sequel was filmed.

In November 1997, Lin Zhengying passed away. In order to commemorate him, Asia Television specially asked Chen Shisan to write a movie called "My Date with a Vampire".

Chen Shisan had a brilliant idea and expanded the subject matter to about 5,000 years ago and combined it with ancient mythology. As a result, it became a huge hit and he shot three films in a row, achieving the final glory of zombie films.

In "Mr. Vampire", Lin Zhengying's name is Mao Xiaofang.

In a series of movies starring him, such as "Mr. Zombie", his surname is Lin and his name is Uncle Jiu.

In "Avengers: End of the Vampire", it is said that his real name is Lin Fengjiao, the same name as Chen Long's wife. This should be a deliberate spoof.

In this time and space, since Lin Fengjiao followed Yang Ye and retired from the film industry early, Lin Zhengying did not dare to make a spoof of her, so he always called her Uncle Nine in his zombie movies.

In "Zombie Supreme", when the eldest brother scolded him, he only called him Lin Jiu, and there was no so-called real name Lin Fengjiao.

During the days when zombie movies were at their peak, many companies followed suit and made zombie movies.

Because it has low cost, fast effectiveness and is easy to make money.

But Yang Ye’s company has never filmed it.

Unexpectedly, after Lin Zhengying died, Yang Ye had to summon the spirits for a zombie movie.

The genre of zombie movies was called supernatural kung fu movies at the time.

Yang Ye defined the "Twilight" he was about to shoot as a youth fantasy film, which surprised the three young boys and girls.

However, Yang Ye did not say much. After finishing his instructions, he let them leave.

Huo Baozhu took Chen Xinghua to Baiyang Agency to arrange a contract, and gave him a stage name, Chen Guanxi.

Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi were very curious about this new member who suddenly joined the group. They exchanged phone numbers and made an appointment to play together next time.

Chen Zeming's lawyer helped Chen Guanxi look over the contract and believed there were no problems. Then Chen Guanxi signed the contract with Yang Ji and officially became an artist of Yang Ji.

Since he has never acted in a movie before, he will receive a short period of training during the preparation stage of the film.

After Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi left, they went to play with Yang Ritian and the others.

Yang Ritian asked: "What did you say to my father when you met him today?"

Nicholas Tse said, "He arranged a play for us and Bo Zhi to play the male and female lead. There is also a person named Edison. We met for the first time today."

Zhang Baizhi said: "Also, he told us not to cross the border when we go out to sea in the future, otherwise we will be in trouble if we are caught by the coast guard."

Yang Ritian nodded: "My dad really loves you guys, is there a place for Zhixian?"

Zhang Baizhi shook his head: "It's just a one-woman-two-man arrangement, the others are all supporting roles, there's no point in giving it to Zhixian!"

Nicholas Tse asked, "Does your godfather know that you two are dating?"

"I didn't say it, but he must know."

Jun Ji-hyun suddenly asked with some concern: "Will he ask me to quit the entertainment industry and not film in the future?"

This kind of worry is very normal, because many female celebrities are asked to quit the entertainment industry after falling in love with rich men.

Yang Ritian consoled her, "No, my parents are both in the movie business, they are both actors, they won't look down on actors."

After hearing what Yang Ritian said, Jun Ji-hyun felt relieved. She quite liked this job, even though she had only played a few small roles for the time being.

Jun Ji-hyun is beautiful and gentle. Yang Ritian is at the age of falling in love for the first time and is deeply in love with her.

Fu Ge is not born promiscuous. Sicong was once infatuated and innocent.

But he met a slut named Wang Ying, and was cheated of her money and feelings.

At that time, some netizens reminded him to be careful, but he argued with them, saying that Wang Ying was simple and kind.

As a result, a bunch of men came out to confirm that Wang Ying had been a prostitute who specialized in defrauding men of their money and even sent him nude photos of Wang Ying.

Sicong's world collapsed, and he changed his Weibo account certification to "widowed", and became a playboy from then on.

Seeing that Jun Ji-hyun wanted to film a movie, Yang Ritian wanted to get resources for his girlfriend. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about I take you to meet my dad?"

"Ah?" Jun Ji-hyun was startled and suddenly a little nervous. (End of this chapter)
