Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 80 Qingxia loves to write poetry

Lin Qingxia likes to write poems very much, but she is very frustrated.

She once wrote a song called "Wind from Hometown".

Qingdao, Shandong, my hometown

The place where dad and mom grew up

I asked my father, I asked my mother

Can it be transformed into the wind of my hometown?
Please stroke my hair gently

Let me relive your love
……

Yang Ye gently stroked Lin Qingxia's hair and said softly: "You must be tired after running all day. Go home, take a shower and have a good rest."

"Ok!"

Lin Qingxia lowered her eyebrows and agreed.

Yang Ye stared at Lin Qingxia's drooping eyelashes, her smooth skin, her pointed chin and exquisite mouth shape, and finally couldn't help but kiss her.

After a long time, the two reluctantly separated. Lin Qingxia asked obsessively: "What's the name of that poem...?"

Yang Ye took out his small notebook and wrote in beautiful calligraphy:
far and near

——Given to Qingxia

You look at me for a while and look at the clouds for a while.

I feel that you are far away when you look at me, and you are very close when you look at the clouds.

Then it was folded into a heart shape and handed into Lin Qingxia's hands.

This boring routine of the 80s was actually very trendy in the 70s. Lin Qingxia took the poem solemnly, put her hands on her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "I'm going back."

"Ok!"

Lin Qingxia turned around and ran away briskly like a deer.

Yang Ye looked at her cheerful back and couldn't help complaining: After so long, he finally won it easily with a poem.

Gu Cheng is awesome!
……

In this era, poetry is more powerful than money.

As long as you recite a good poem, there will be girls who will follow you wholeheartedly.

Gu Cheng is mentally ill and has trouble taking care of himself. Because his hands get so wet when he sings, he can marry two wives and have sex with the three of them. How can you say he's awesome?

Literary young people like Lin Qingxia, a young girl in love, have been brainwashed by Qiong Yao's bad novels for several years. It is normal for Yang Ye to win her over with a song "Far and Near".

A week later, Yang Ye successfully signed a contract with Qiong Yao's Superstar Company, and Lin Qingxia starred in Yang Ye's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

The next day, Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong with two beauties, Lin Qingxia and Xu Feng, to attend the celebration banquet of "Fist of Heroes".

"Fist of Heroes" was released for 20 days, and the box office successfully exceeded 813 million Hong Kong dollars, surpassing the box office record set by "Shaolin Temple" in the first round of screenings.

However, "Shaolin Temple" was re-released twice, and now the box office has exceeded 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Yang Ye said to Lin Qingxia: "The last time I came to Hong Kong, I came at noon and left at night. I didn't even have time to see the city. This time I will take you around."

Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "I have been to Hong Kong before. My first movie "Outside the Window" was released in Hong Kong in 1973, and I came to promote it."

Yang Ye remembered that although the movie "Outside the Window" was made in Taiwan, it was not released in Taiwan because the subject matter was a teacher-student relationship.Instead, it took in a box office of HK$65 in Hong Kong, which is already very high for a literary romance film.

Lin Qingxia became famous overnight because of this. Hong Kong people were attracted by her innocence and gave her the title of "Innocent Beauty".

Speaking of which, Lin Qingxia was the first generation beauty leader in Hong Kong, but she did not develop in Hong Kong for more than ten years. When she returned to Hong Kong in her thirties, she had already transformed into playing men.

Yang Ye held Lin Qingxia in his left hand and Xu Feng in his right hand. When he appeared at the entrance of Liyuan, it immediately caused a sensation and a large number of reporters swarmed over.

A reporter from Oriental Daily asked: "Mr. Yang, are you dating Miss Xu or Miss Lin?"

Yang Ye asked back: "Why didn't you say that the three of us were dating together?"

Everyone laughed.Yang Ye said: "I am preparing for my new film. Miss Xu and Miss Lin will be the heroines of the new film. In addition, I will also invite a mysterious superstar to participate. Please report more."

"Wow!" The reporters were excited, there was news to write about again.

"Young Master Yang, can you reveal the information about the mysterious superstar?"

"It's said to be a mystery, so of course I can't reveal it. I can only tell you that he is a very famous celebrity, an absolute superstar."

"Master Yang, Master Yang! Is the new movie still a kung fu movie?"

"Kung fu is inevitable, but this time it's a little different. It's adapted from a martial arts novel. Let's call it a martial arts film."

"Are you going to adapt your "Kunlun"?"

"This is kept secret for the time being. In short, it is the work of a famous martial arts master."

In these matters, the information disclosed must be ambiguous, as it would be meaningless if stated plainly.

If we don’t say anything, everyone will just keep guessing about Jin Yong, Gulong Liang Yusheng, and we can discuss it in newspapers for a long time.

Isn't the heat here?

Major newspapers have made a lot of guesses about who the mysterious superstar is, but unfortunately the scope is too broad and there is no clue.

As for which famous novel to adapt, since Yang Ye has already stated that the heroines are Lin Qingxia and Xu Feng, the most popular one is "Kunlun" written by Yang Ye himself.

But Xu Feng and Lin Qingxia had been arguing for several months about who would play Liu Yingying and who would play Hua Xiaoshuang.

In addition, well-known martial arts novels such as "Eternal Dragon Sword" and "Jiangxue Xuanshuang" are also speculated.

There were reporters who went to interview Jin Yong and Wo Longsheng, but these old guys were very thieves. They all said that Yang Ye himself had to explain the matter, and we were not allowed to disclose it. Then the sales of the novel increased.

The interview continued, and a reporter from Ming Pao asked: "Mr. Yang, "Shaolin Temple" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. When you meet Akira Kurosawa's "Dersu Uzala", are you confident that it will beat the Emperor of Movies?" ?”

Akira Kurosawa is the most powerful director in Japanese history and is known as the Emperor of Movies.

He has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film three times, and "Dersu Uzala" is the third time in his career.In fact, the Oscars are just a regional award. In terms of status, they are not comparable to the three major European film festivals.

But this time Yang Ye was nominated for the Oscar with "Shaolin Temple" and Akira Kurosawa, and the Chinese media paid special attention to it.

On one side is a super director who has been famous in Japan for a long time, and on the other side is a super newcomer who became a god in Hong Kong.

If Yang Ye beat Kurosawa to win the award this time, he would win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Then he has defeated Riben in both the fields of Kung Fu and movies. He can be called the God of Gods!

Yang Ye wasn't sure about this matter, so he couldn't say too much. He held hands with the two beauties and said calmly: "It depends on the judges' decision on matters like awards."

Someone started shouting slogans: "Young Master Yang, we support you!"

"Thank you."

Someone else asked: "Young Master Yang, the box office of "Fist of Heroes" has already exceeded 800 million. Are you confident that it will exceed 1000 million?"

"Then it depends on the audience's support."

"Young Master Yang, I heard that you and Jiahe had a falling out. Can you explain specifically what you are willing to do?"

"This is a normal business matter. Please don't interpret it too much."

……

Yang Ye finally got rid of the reporter and pulled Lin Qingxia and Xu Feng into Liyuan.

Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "Hong Kong reporters are very enthusiastic."

Yang Ye gave her a shot first: "Well, there is a lot of news about me. They are thinking of ways to report scandals about me every day. As long as I get a little closer to any girl, it will be on the headlines the next day."

Yang Ye said, and brought two beauties to Xia Meng's table. When they saw the veteran in the film industry, they quickly said hello obediently.

Yang Ye said: "Sister Meng, I discussed with Director Hu Jinquan and planned to change the story background of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to the Ming Dynasty. I explained the matter and wrote a letter to Mr. Wang Dulu, please help I'll transfer it to the mainland."

Xia Meng said in surprise: "That doesn't mean that all the previously designed clothes have to be changed."

Yang Ye said: "It's okay, the cutting hasn't officially started anyway. Director Hu Jinquan is an expert on the Ming Dynasty. Let's wait until he comes back to discuss this with the artists."

Xia Mengdao: "That can only be like this. By the way, Shaw Brothers has agreed to let me go. Ti Lung will come over to play Li Mubai. You will see when the filming will start, so that he can save his schedule."

"It's hard to say now. It may be necessary to set up a scene. Just ask him not to take on the role in the second half of the year."

Yang Ye and Xia Meng chatted for a few words. When they saw that everyone was almost there, they walked up to the stage, took the microphone and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I'll say a few words."

The crowd immediately fell silent, and Yang Ye said: "Thank you for your joint efforts, our "Fist of Heroes" successfully broke the box office record in Hong Kong. I announce that I will give 5% of the local box office of "Fist of Heroes" to all colleagues." .”

"Wow!" Everyone cheered immediately.

The box office of "Fist of Heroes" may exceed 1000 million, 5% is 50, and everyone on the crew can receive thousands. It would be strange to be unhappy.Everyone started to flatter him one after another.

"Yang Shaori enters the gold medal!"

"Young Master Yang will live a hundred years!"

“Young Master Yang’s beautiful wife and concubine!”

Yang Ye smiled and said, "That sweet wife and beautiful concubine will go to the finance department to receive the red envelope."

"Hahahaha!"

"Young Master Yang has three thousand beauties in his harem!"

"Do you want to exhaust me to death? Your bonus is gone next month!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Yang Ye made a fuss with everyone for a while, then went back to the stage to eat.

At this time, Chen Long and Hong Jingbao came over to toast. Yang Ye had a drink with them and asked, "What is Sanmao busy with recently?"

Hong Jingbao said: "I made a movie called "Shaolin Gate" for Jiahe, but it was a pity that it was not a hit, with a box office of several hundred thousand."

Yang Ye asked: "Have you ever thought about becoming a director yourself?"

Hong Jingbao said happily: "Can I do it?"

Yang Ye said: "You and Aaron came to me together. You must have a project to discuss with me."

Hong Jingbao chuckled: "Yang Shaohuiyan, I have indeed saved a script, and I want you to help with the next part."

Yang Ye took a look at the script he took and saw that it was no different from a piece of shit.

A so-called script like his is actually just an idea, with only a few main characters and a rough outline of the story.

How to shoot and how to film are all improvised. Early Hong Kong films relied on this method to develop step by step.

Although most of them are just a piece of shit, if inspiration strikes, it wouldn't be surprising to shoot a classic in ten and a half months.

Yang Ye asked: "Are you planning to direct and act on your own?"

Hong Jingbao said: "Yes."

"How much do you want to invest?"

"50 is enough."

"Okay, you can just go find Sister Meng tomorrow. Let her be your producer."

Hong Jingbao was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Yang, I will definitely take the photo well."

Yang Ye asked again: "Along, has anyone harassed you recently?"

Chen Long said: "Some people from the society wanted to film with me. But Master Shi helped me get it done."

Master Shi is Chen Shi from the Chaoshan Clan in the Kowloon Walled City. He is currently covering Yang Ye’s Baiyang Pictures. Since there are too many perverts in the Walled City, ordinary societies really don’t dare to mess with him.

However, Chen Shi only has a few more years to live, and the Kowloon Walled City will be demolished sooner or later, so he still has to take precautions.
