Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 50 Just talking

The "Chinese Folk Song" concert had a profound impact on the Taiwanese music scene in later generations.

Since then, Taiwan has begun to shift from Western music to the creations of local contemporaries. Countless talented young people have been inspired to compose music that suits the new era.

Because of the slogan "Sing your own song", these young people seemed to have a sense of mission, and they began to try to express their emotions in their own language and style.

The boundaries of songs have been expanded infinitely. Works of any subject matter or form can be widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as long as they are well written and sung well.

Many years later, the music king Milk Cha Lun recalled: "It was Yang Ye who started the folk song movement and returned the songs of an era to the hands of young people. He is my eternal idol."

……

After the Taiwan concert, Taiwanese newspapers and television stations issued interview requests to Yang Ye, but Yang Ye refused them all and quickly returned to Hong Kong.

Because he knew that in a week, the bald man would be GG.

The death of Baldhead will definitely cause political turmoil, so it is better to avoid it.

Back in Hong Kong, Yang Ye's life is very comfortable. Every day he goes on dates with Zhao Yazhi, boxing with Pope Yugui, and occasionally visits the crew of "Drunken Master". When he comes back, he plays a guest role as a driver to pick up Zhou Huimin from school.

The film company is just making a movie now, and basically there is nothing wrong with it. Yang Ye sits in the office every day and just draws the storyboard of the next movie.

The recruitment notice for assistants has been posted, and several people have been interviewed, but none of them were satisfied.

Zou Wenhuai invited Yang Ye over and asked him about his new film plan. Yang Ye refused and said he hadn't thought about it yet, so he talked to Zou Wenhuai about the share of "Drunken Master".

Yang Ye won't be able to build his own theater chain for a while, so he will have to rely on Jiahe's theater chain to release new films.

Yang Ye can't fall out with Jiahe yet, so he doesn't even mention the fact that Jiahe made millions at the box office by re-released "Shaolin Temple" but didn't give him half a dime.

Yang Ye said: "Although I did not star in "Drunken Master" personally, I designed all the plots of the movie myself. It is definitely a refreshing Kung Fu blockbuster."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Aye, I still believe in your ability. When is this movie going to be released?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "We will probably finish filming at the end of May, and we will have to do post-production for another half month. So I hope it can be released during the summer vacation."

Zou Wenhuai frowned and said, "The Xu brothers' new film is also scheduled to be released during the summer vacation. You guys have missed the schedule."

"In what month will they be ready?"

"August!"

"Then Drunken Master is in July, is that okay?"

"Of course no problem."

"This "Drunken Master" was filmed by Baiyang Film with its own investment, so I would like to discuss the box office share with you. My idea is that the local city and Nanyang Jiahe will distribute it, and Bai Yang will take 30% of the box office share. As for Japan Ben, Since I have signed an agreement with Kadokawa Pictures, the film will be distributed by them."

Zou Wenhuai actually didn't take "Drunken Master" very seriously. The starring role in this movie was Chen Long, who was a martial arts master.One is Yuan Xiaotian, who has been absent for many years.Both of them are not well-known. The most famous one is Zhao Yazhi, who became famous because of "Shaolin Temple".

But Zhao Yazhi became famous because of Yang Ye. Without Yang Ye, she is nothing.Everyone watches kung fu movies because of the kung fu, and the beautiful women are just embellishments.

Zou Wenhuai is interested in Yang Ye's new film, but Yang Ye is a very thief, tight-lipped, and refuses to reveal a word.

The meaning is obvious. You Jiahe first agreed to the share plan for "Drunken Master", and then we will discuss the plan for the new film.

He Guanchang asked: "What about South Korea?"

Yang Ye said: "South Korea also handed it over to Jiahe for distribution."

Today's South Korea has not yet created the "Miracle on the Han River". The poor Koreans who cannot survive often run to North Korea. These are the so-called "South Korean defectors".

There was no oil or water in this poor place at all, so Yang Ye didn't care much.

Zou Wenhuai acted very grandly. Since the target was Yang Ye's new film, he didn't care about the gains and losses of "Drunken Master".

After all, Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" made Jiahe very profitable.

Now Yang Ye's fame is much greater than before, and he is already regarded as a national hero by many people.

If he makes a new film, how good will it be at the box office?
can not imagine!

Yang Ye and Jiahe signed the screening contract for "Drunken Master" but still did not let go.

I just said that this time it will be a super big cast, but before things are clear, it is useless to say more.After Yang Ye left, Zou Wenhuai said in confusion: "Aye said that this time it will be a super big cast, but he himself is already the biggest movie star among Chinese people. How big can this cast be?"

He Guanchang was also a little confused. After thinking about it, he said, "Does he want to invite a Hollywood star? Who can he invite? Marlon Brando?"

……

When Yang Ye returned to the company, Xiaoli at the front desk told him that there was a Miss Hu waiting for him.

Yang Ye went to the reception room and saw Hu Yinmeng sitting there drinking coffee.

Yang Ye asked: "Why did you come to Hong Kong? Isn't there a funeral in Taiwan?"

Hu Yinmeng pouted: "What does it matter to me if he dies? Now Taiwan prohibits all entertainment activities, so I have no choice but to run out and play."

"No, shouldn't you go to America to get married?"

"I don't want to go."

"Why? Isn't your blind date a rich man? It would be great to marry him and be a young mistress, right?"

"Do you know why I dropped out of college?"

"why?"

"Because I don't miss it anymore!"

Yang Ye gave a thumbs up and praised: "Willful!"

"When I was admitted to Fu Jen Catholic University, my mother almost set off firecrackers. But I refused to study after two years, and she was so angry. Later, she introduced me to two jobs, but I didn't work for a few days. She just gave up her choice, and she became even more angry.

She said, since you are unwilling to do anything, why not give you a blind date and get married.It happened that my uncle wrote from Japan, saying that he wanted to propose marriage to me, and the other party was the only son of a shipping magnate.I thought it would be nice to marry and be a young mistress, so I agreed. "

"Then you're regretting it now?"

Hu Yinmeng didn't answer, but asked: "Last time you said that if you make a movie, you would ask me to be the heroine. Does that count?"

"Ah this..."

"You didn't just say it casually, did you?"

"Yes!"

Hu Yinmeng was speechless for a moment. She never expected that Yang Ye would admit it like a bachelor. You should cover it up at least, right?How do you ask me to step down like this?

But Yang Ye didn't want to offend her. Her father was a local gangster in Taipei, and Yang Ye had to go to Taipei to sell tickets.

Yang Ye said: "Your temperament is more literary and artistic. Our company only shoots kung fu movies about fighting and killing, which is not suitable for you. If you want to be an actor, I suggest you stay in Taiwan to develop. Your conditions are not inferior to those of Lin Qingxia and Lin Qingxia. Lin Fengjiao should have quite a future."

Hu Yinmeng said: "Taiwan only makes some boring three-room movies, which are not interesting."

At this time, the kings of Taiwanese films were Qiong Yao and Liu Jiachang.

In their movies, the actors basically go back and forth between the living room and the dining room. If they want to go out, they go to the coffee shop.That’s why it’s called a three-room movie!
Liu Jiachang can compose music and Qiong Yao can write lyrics. The end of the movie is usually accompanied by a bad song written by them, and then a montage technique is used to make the hero and heroine stroll on the white-capped beach, and it's done!

This kind of film is low-cost and the shooting time is very short. Liu Jiachang once shot a film in only three days.

Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao are representatives of this kind of movie.At her peak, Lin Qingxia made twelve movies a year, and Lin Fengjiao even made fourteen movies a year.

In fact, Hu Yinmeng is no less generous. If she follows her original life trajectory, she will go to the United States this year, then return to Taiwan next year, and make ten movies a year.

Yang Ye smiled and said: "You didn't come to me for any reason, right?"

Naturally, Hu Yinmeng was not stupid enough to take Yang Ye's casual words seriously. She was a little unhappy with Yang Ye's old question about her marriage, so she asked this deliberately.

She just wanted to see how Yang Ye couldn't answer, because Yang Ye did say this, so he couldn't deny it to his face, right?If you don't deny it, you can't treat her as the protagonist, you can only be frustrated.

Who would have thought that Yang Ye admitted in a very bachelor manner that he was just joking, and Hu Yinmeng himself was the one who couldn't get off the stage.

In fact, she didn't even know why Hu Yinmeng came to Hong Kong to find Yang Ye.She just subconsciously found him after arriving in Hong Kong.

Hu Yin dreamed for a while and suddenly said: "Aren't you recruiting assistants? I'll apply!"
