Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 55 Heroines are cool

Xu Feng is a strange person!

Before the age of 30, she almost never smiled.

Because life was too hard, her father died when she was five years old, her mother took her to remarry, and her stepfather was very indifferent to her.

At the age of 15, her stepfather married her to a man she did not know.

At the age of 16, she filled out two forms, one for the electronics factory to recruit female workers, and the other for Federal Pictures to recruit actors.

She has no dreams of becoming a star, she just wants to find a job to support herself.

But she was actually selected by Hu Jinquan and played a small role in "Dragon Gate Inn", and then became the heroine of "The Heroine".

Xu Feng acted very hard and never complained. An extra actor accidentally chopped his head with a prop knife and his head was bleeding. He was bandaged and continued filming.

When filming "The Heroine", she was covered in wounds, and people could smell the medicine whenever they came near her.

Because of this, she became Hu Jinquan's favorite heroine, and she became famous!

Do you think this will bring her good luck?This was just the beginning of the tragedy, as her husband took advantage of her fame to borrow money everywhere.

In the end, she failed to make it and ran away, leaving her with tens of millions of dollars in debt.

what to do?To repay the money for filming, I filmed six action films a year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, for two consecutive years.

But the debt was too much, and it would not be paid in a while. She could only find the biggest creditor and told him:

"My husband owes you a lot of money. He ran away and now it falls on me. I will pay back the money, but please give me some time. I will be filming at the Federal Company and will not run away."

Her creditor was named Tang Junnian. Tang Junnian was attracted by the young and beautiful Xu Feng.

He told Xu Feng, if you become my girlfriend, the money you owe me will be written off.If you owe others money, I will help you pay it back!
Xu Feng agreed, but Tang Junnian's mother refused. She looked down on the actor and wanted to beat the couple.

But in the end, Xu Feng married Tang Junnian at the expense of no longer being an actor.

After Xu Feng gave birth to two sons for Tang Junnian, he returned to the entertainment industry. This time he was not an actor, but opened a film company.

She single-handedly promoted Lin Qingxia to become the Golden Horse Best Actress, and then brought Lin Qingxia to Hong Kong to film The Invincible Oriental, which achieved the second spring of Lin Qingxia's career.

She sent the script of "Farewell My Concubine" to Brother Kaizi, and it became the first masterpiece in Chinese film history.

Tang Junnian was involved in the case and imprisoned. She raised tens of millions overnight to get Tang Junnian out.

After Tang Junnian's death, she took over her husband's business and single-handedly built Shanghai's largest mansion, "Tangson Yipin", and became a super rich woman.

Such an awesome woman must be used by me!
The time for penetration was when her husband ran away and left her with a large debt.

……

After the group arrived in Cannes, they went their separate ways.

The crew of "Shaolin Temple" were so wealthy that they stayed at the Marriott Hotel on the Promenade.

Hu Jinquan came here at his own expense for the crew of "The Heroine". He didn't have that much money, so he stayed in a cheap hotel far away from the film festival.

Yang Ye blatantly moved into a room with Zhao Yazhi.

When filming in Taiwan, Yang Ye was still secretive, but now he stopped pretending and showed off his cards.

Zhao Yazhi was very happy by making her love affair public.

Originally, she was very dissatisfied because Deng Lijun lived in Yang Ye's house.Now after Yang Ye's series of actions, everything is gone.

Although Deng Lijun still lives in Yang Ye's house, she is just like an ostrich, pretending that this matter did not happen.

The two of them had a good time facing the sea, and then lay contentedly on the carpet to rest.

Zhao Yazhi lay in Yang Ye's arms and asked, "Why do you want to share a room with me in public?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Save money, this hotel is very expensive."

"Bah!" Zhao Yazhi punched Yang Ye so hard that he begged for mercy.

After the two of them tidied up, Yang Ye called Hu Yinmeng, who lived in the next room: "Yinyin, I'm going to invite Director Hu and the others to dinner tonight. You can rent a car and pick them up."

Hu Yinmeng complained: "Why do Director Hu and the others live so far away?" "So, a wealthy lady like you doesn't want to live in the world. Director Hu is a pure artist, and the box office of his movies over the years has never been high." Well, I didn’t make much money, and I paid out of my own pocket when I came to Cannes this time, so how can I get the money to stay in a good hotel?”

"Then you are so rich, why don't you invite them to live there?"

"You don't want to lose face?"

"ok, I get it."

Yang Ye hung up the phone, raised his forehead and said, "Is this the assistant? This is the ancestor!"

Zhao Yazhi covered her mouth and smiled: "I think Yin Yin is a nice person!"

Yang Ye sighed: "You and she are both young ladies, so of course we have something in common."

"Actually, I also want to ask, why do you still respect Director Hu Jinquan when his movies are always losing money?"

"His movies are true art films, but they are not commercial enough. The bamboo forest, knights in hats, power persecution, Qinggong, archery and other elements in "The Heroine" will become the standard configuration of martial arts movies in the future. Believe it or not, I can see from the inside Take some elements and make a movie, and it will be a big hit at the box office?"

"letter!"

"Silly girl, do you believe me if I brag?"

"No matter what, I believe whatever you say anyway." Zhao Yazhi said, leaning into Yang Ye's arms.

……

In the evening, Yang Ye found an open-air restaurant and bar by the sea, and the two crew members gathered together to have barbecue and drink beer.

The crew of "Shaolin Temple" had more than ten people, while the crew of "The Heroine" only had director Hu Jinquan, and starring actors Shi Lu and Xu Feng.

Hu Jinquan came to Cannes this time on a do-or-die basis, so he felt quite depressed.Yang Ye didn't care whether he won the prize or not, so he was very relaxed.

The two drank a few beers and started discussing movies.

Yang Ye is more interested in the shot of Xu Feng swooping down from a bamboo shoot in "The Heroine". This shot once amazed a generation.

Hu Jinquan was more interested in Yang Ye's final volley kick in "Shaolin Temple".

Because the current Wia technology is very rough, it is impossible to hide the traces of the wire.Therefore, Qinggong in Hu Jinquan's movies all use trampolines. The actors take off from the trampolines, and then film their tumbling movements in the air. Using montage editing, you can create the illusion that the knights are leaping in the forest.

Using Hu Jinquan's method, it would be impossible for the two actors to dance so perfectly and execute each other perfectly in the air.

Yang Ye told him: "This is nothing strange. I just found a way to hide Wia. If Mr. Hu is interested, help me make a movie, and you will know."

After Hu Jinquan's "The Heroine" hit the blockbuster, he signed a contract with Golden Harvest for two movies, and then hit the blockbuster again. Now no one is looking for him to film.

If "The Lady" hadn't won the award at Cannes, his career would have ended.

Hu Jinquan thought he heard it wrong. He laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am filming now, but I have to pay for each film."

Yang Ye smiled nonchalantly and said: "Mr. Hu has achieved the ultimate in art, but he lacks commercial considerations. As long as you are willing to listen to me, I can let you retain the artistry while taking into account the commercial aspects, and it will be a box office success." No problem."

Hu Jinquan opened his eyes and said, "Young Master Yang, are you serious?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course, I was greatly inspired after watching your movie "The Heroine". I feel that a place like the bamboo forest is really suitable for a martial arts movie. So I also want to make a movie like this, but the script has not been completed yet. , some of the pictures I envisioned required relevant facilities to be photographed, and it was not just artistic problems that had to be solved, but more technical problems.”

"Will Mr. Yang star in person?"

"Of course I will star!" Yang Ye said, glanced at Xu Feng who was eating barbecue, and said with a smile, "I hope Miss Xu can also star."

Hu Jinquan smiled and said: "A Feng is very talented in filming."

Yang Shao praised: "I also appreciate it very much."

Hu Jinquan said: "A Feng, it's rare that Mr. Yang is so optimistic about you and wants you to star in his new movie. Why don't you give Mr. Yang a toast?"

Xu Feng snorted, picked up the wine glass and said, "Young Master Yang, I respect you."

Then he raised his head, drank the wine, and continued to eat barbecue.

Hu Jinquan said helplessly: "That's just how she is. Don't be offended, Mr. Yang."

Yang Ye waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the heroine just needs to be so cool."
