Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

The cast of "Young Justice Bao" was quickly confirmed.

The main characters are basically the same people from the original time and space, except for two who were cast differently because they are young now.

Yang Ye was listed as the producer, but in reality he had no time to manage the filming of a TV series.

It’s just because this play is starred by a newcomer and it’s not selling well, so his name was used as a gimmick.

This is different from the filming of "Hong Kong Love Story" back then.

At that time, Yang Ye personally took the role of producer in order to stir up a craze for idol dramas.

However, since I have a name on the list, I still have to worry about and check some things.

If the film fails, it will be Yang Ye who will be the loser.

After helping to finalize the cast, Yang Ye invited the main creators of the crew to a meal as a formal meeting.

……

Li Binbin stood in front of the mirror in the hotel, worrying.

The makeup that Wu Baoling had done for her before was so beautiful that she wanted to try doing it herself, but with her makeup skills, it was simply impossible.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Binbin ran to open it. Ren Quan looked at Li Binbin's half-made-up face and burst out laughing.

Li Binbin glared at him unhappily, then sat back in front of the mirror and continued putting on makeup.

"Oh, that teacher Wu Baoling is really good at makeup. I can't do it no matter how hard I try."

Ren Quan said: "Don't put on any makeup, just wash your face, it will be clean and fresh, and you will be beautiful!"

"How can that be possible? We are attending a formal event today!"

"We were late once before, what should we do if we are late again this time?"

After hearing this, Li Binbin suddenly panicked. Thinking that she couldn't put on makeup anyway, she listened to Ren Quan, washed her face, and then simply tied her long hair into a ponytail. Then the two of them went out together.

After arriving at the hotel where Yang Ye was treating us, he gave his name and was then invited by the staff to sit down in the banquet hall.

This time the two of them arrived quite early and there was no one in the banquet hall.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and sat down aside. Not long after, Zhou Jie walked in, dressed in a spirited manner.

Zhou Jie was a celebrity in school. During his time at school, he starred in the play "Ruan Lingyu" with Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung.

The two of them quickly stood up and called each other senior brothers, and introduced themselves.

Zhou Jie asked in surprise: "You guys are also in the theater?"

"Yes, we are from level 93."

"Then you are lucky. You got this role when you are only in your sophomore year. The script of this play is very good."

The gathering of three alumni made them very proud, because there were also students from Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama who came for the interview, but they were the ones from Shanghai Theatre Academy who took the lead.

"I heard there are four main characters in total. Who is the other one?"

“He’s a Hong Kong actor.”

As they were talking, the door was pushed open and a staff member led in a small, very cute girl with big eyes.

The girl politely thanked the staff, turned around and greeted the three people, "Hello, my name is Jia Jingwen, I'm from Taiwan, and I played Pang Feiyan in Young Justice Bao."

The three of them introduced themselves quickly, but they were very surprised. Aren't they from Hong Kong? Why are they from Taiwan?

Jia Jingwen explained: "I am from Taipei. I went to Hong Kong as a trainee three years ago. After graduation, I signed a contract with Yang Kee, so I am considered a Hong Kong actor."

After the first season of "The Voice of China", Jia Jingwen wanted to become a trainee at Yangji and was successfully admitted the following year.

After graduating last year, I played some small roles in ATV's TV series.

The second female lead in "Young Justice Bao" was personally chosen by Yang Ye.

The three of them were very curious about Taiwanese people, so they got together and started chatting.

Not long after, the guests gradually arrived, all of them were from Hong Kong, including director Wu Mingkai, costume director Wu Baoling, martial arts director Liang Xiaoxiong, actor Zheng Peipei, etc.

When they get together, they chat in Cantonese. Jia Jingwen is fine, as she has been in Hong Kong for a few years and is quite fluent in Cantonese.

Zhou Jie, Ren Quan and Li Binbin were in a more awkward position and could not understand a word.

Cheng Pei-pei is a straightforward person, so she took the initiative to say, "We are all speaking Mandarin, don't you see that these kids don't understand?"

Zheng Peipei is highly respected and an evergreen in the film industry. As early as the 1960s, she became the queen of martial arts novels with the role of Golden Swallow and became famous in the Chinese world. Even Yang Ye was polite when he met her.

As soon as she said this, everyone was embarrassed. Hu Mingkai quickly said, "Sister Peipei, it's not that I don't want to speak Mandarin, it's just that I can't speak it well. We are all from the same family, so I didn't pay attention."

Cheng Pei-pei felt like laughing after hearing his plastic Mandarin. She said, "You have to speak it too. Otherwise, when you talk to them about the play in the future, they won't understand. It's like talking to a deaf person. How can we shoot the play?"

"Okay, I'm done, I'll just try my best to talk!"

After hearing what Cheng Pei-pei said, Jay Chou and the other two became more fond of her.

Among Hong Kong actors, Cheng Pei-pei's artistic ethics and character are surprisingly good. Most people who have worked with her have developed a deep friendship with her.

When filming Shao Bao in the original time and space, Cheng Peipei and Zhou Jie always referred to each other as mother and son. They thought that they felt most comfortable playing mother and son with each other.

When Cheng Peipei passed away, countless celebrities who had worked with her, including Jay Chou, Li Binbin, Hu Ge, and Liu Yifei, posted messages to mourn her.

Liu Tao and Zheng Peipei have a mother-daughter relationship. When Zheng Peipei passed away, Liu Tao stayed by her side.

But when it comes to things she doesn't like, Cheng Pei-pei doesn't hide them and speaks directly. She once said that Zhang Baizhi is a big shot, his acting skills are okay, but his work attitude is bad.

Because Yang Ye was listed as the nominal producer of this play, everyone was quite cautious and started talking about related content when they got together.

They were happily chatting when Yang Ye pushed the door open and said with a smile, "It's quite a lively chat!"

Everyone stood up and greeted him. Yang Ye smiled and said, "Everyone, please take your seats!"

He said to Chen Daomin who came in with him, "Mr. Chen, please come this way."

Chen Daomin said: "Please come in!"

Yang Ye sat in the main seat, and Zheng Peipei and Chen Daomin sat beside him.

The meal started soon, and exquisite dishes were served one after another.

Yang Ye raised his glass and said, "This is my second time as a TV producer. I hope everyone can cooperate well with us. Our goal is to become the national ratings champion. Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses together: "Ratings champion!"

During the dinner, Yang Ye talked about the positioning of this TV series, which focuses on youth and suspense. In fact, it is a costume idol drama, which is completely different from the previous "Judge Bao" which focused on historical legends.

Then everyone was invited to attend the premiere of "The Matrix".

"The Matrix" is being filmed and produced at the same time, and will be released simultaneously in 1994 markets around the world during the Christmas season of 100.

In 1993, Yang Ye released four films: "Bodyguard from Beijing", "Kung Fu", "Terminator 3" and "Speed".

分别以1.2亿、3.8亿、5亿、3.6亿，总计13.6亿美元票房横扫全球，达到职业生涯的巅峰。

The sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix", which will be released during this year's Christmas season, has become popular before its release, attracting strong attention from the global media.

When it comes to the release of the film, film producers around the world have cooperated unconditionally, providing their best resources and promoting it vigorously.

The momentum is much stronger than the release of "The Matrix" in the original time and space.

After all, the original creators such as the Wachowski brothers, Keanu Reeves, and Carrie-Anne Moss were all second-tier figures in the film industry, and Warner was not very confident when it released "The Matrix".

Now, with a box office monster like Yang Ye personally creating the film, and with his amazing performance in 1993, all the film producers have full confidence in him, so they launched a global simultaneous release. Yang Ye's previous film "ET the Extraterrestrial" also had a global simultaneous release, but that was more of a gimmick, and the market for simultaneous releases was less than one-third of what it is now.

When they heard that the movie produced by Yang Ye would be released simultaneously in 100 markets around the world, everyone exclaimed in amazement and was full of admiration for Yang Ye.

Chen Daomin praised: "To be able to make a movie to this level really brings honor to us Chinese people and Chinese-language films. Mr. Yang, I toast to you!"

Yang Ye raised his glass and said with a smile: "Let's all join in!"

Everyone then raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Yang Ye put down his wine glass and said to Zhou Jie and the others, "You young actors were carefully selected by me. This is a great opportunity, so you must perform well.

When filming, I need to ask the director, Sister Peipei, Mr. Chen and other veteran actors for advice. Don’t let me down.”

The young men were all excited, toasting Yang Ye together and patting their chests to promise that they would perform well.

Next, everyone talked about the upcoming movie "The Matrix", their tone was full of anticipation and the atmosphere was very warm.

Yang Ye was toasted by everyone and drank a little too much, so he went to the bathroom in the middle of the drink.

He peed a lot, and after coming out, he fixed his hair in front of the mirror at the sink.

But Li Binbin was seen standing next to the mirror, using wet hands to part his bangs to both sides.

Yang Ye was amused: "Why are you in the same posture as me?"

Li Binbin was stunned for a moment before realizing that the person next to him was Yang Ye. He blushed and said, "I'm used to this."

Yang Ye nodded and looked at Li Binbin. She was not wearing any makeup and was dressed very simply, but she had long flowing hair and looked charming and innocent.

I asked casually, "Is your family financial situation difficult?"

Li Binbin nodded a little self-abased.

Yang Ye smiled and said, “You can’t determine a person’s birth, but you can change your destiny through hard work. As long as you seize this opportunity, it’s not difficult to change your fate.”

Li Binbin quickly stood up straight and said loyally, "I will!"

Yang Ye took out a card and said, "If you have any difficulties in life, you can call me."

Li Binbin took the card with trembling hands and said gratefully, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Now that you've joined my company, we're a family. Let's go!"

The two returned to the banquet hall one after the other, ate and drank until after eight o'clock. Both the guests and the hosts had a great time and left.

……

Yang Ye returned to the hotel, lay on the bed, and put his phone aside. He wondered, who would call first?

This guy gave Li Binbin and Jia Jingwen a card respectively, telling them that they could ask him for help if they had any difficulties.

Both Li Binbin and Jia Jingwen have recently suffered family changes.

Li Binbin's mother had a heart disease and the treatment cost tens of thousands of yuan, which was an astronomical figure for her family. She had been working hard during her studies to earn money for her mother's treatment.

Jia Jingwen originally came from a well-off family, but her father invested in the mainland market and suffered heavy losses. The originally wealthy family became penniless in an instant, and her father could not bear the blow and fell ill.

Jia Jingwen has been desperately taking on acting jobs recently to ease her family's financial difficulties.

Being chosen by Yang Ye to play the leading and second female roles in "Young Justice Bao" was a great help to them.

If it is true as Yang Ye said, that the TV series wins the ratings championship after it is broadcast, and they become famous, then all the difficulties they are facing now will be solved.

Almost at the same time, Yang Ye became the only hope of the two little girls.

At about ten o'clock, the phone finally rang.

Yang Ye smiled slightly, and like a fisherman, he said to himself: "Is it Bingbing? Or Wenwen?"

He answered the phone and said, "Hello!"

A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher!"

Yang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Gang Gang, why did you think of calling me?"

"I just want to comfort you suddenly."

"Suddenly? You should have consoled me a long time ago."

"Then how do I know you want to be comforted?"

"Of course I want to be comforted!"

“I’m in Xiamen now!”

"What are you doing in Xiamen? Having a concert!"

"Yes, I'm working very hard to help you make money, boss!"

"Tsk, it's as if you don't make any money yourself. Did you encounter something that you couldn't handle, so you thought of me?"

"Yes!"

Yang Ye snorted and said, "I'll tell you what it is. Just tell me what it is!"

It turned out that Yang Yuying was invited to hold a concert in Xiamen, and as soon as she got off the plane, she received a very luxurious reception.

The organizer dispatched a fleet of six Mercedes-Benz S600s, led by a man named Lai Wenfeng for the reception.

When the car was halfway on the road, a traffic accident suddenly happened and the Mercedes-Benz was smashed.

Yang Yuying was frightened out of her wits, but Lai Wenfeng remained calm, made a phone call casually, and quickly dispatched a Rolls-Royce to take Yang Yuying to the hotel.

Yang Yuying thought the matter was over, but that evening, Lai Wenfeng came to her house in person to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yang, I scared you today. The car was damaged, so what I was most worried about was that you were frightened."

Yang Yuying quickly said that it was fine, but Lai Wenfeng took out a piece of jade from his arms and said sincerely: "After what happened today, I thought about it and only this way can make me feel at ease. Please accept it."

After hearing what Yang Yuying said, Yang Ye curled his lips and said, "This guy is trying to show his goodwill to you. He bought a Mercedes-Benz, ordered a Rolls-Royce, and gave you jade, all to show off his financial strength. He wants to leave a deep impression on you. Did you accept his gift?"

"I accepted it. I heard that their family is very powerful in Xiamen. I dare not refuse it!"

"Just accept it, but don't have too much contact with him. His family's money is not clean, and sooner or later his family will be destroyed."

"what?"

After meeting super-rich people like Yang Ye, Yang Yuying was not too shocked by Lai Wenfeng's display of financial power.

However, she still has a good impression of Lai Wenfeng. The guy is good-looking, and he uses this trick to pursue her, which shows that he cares about her very much.

However, over the years, many things were arranged and settled by Yang Ye, and she was extremely dependent on Yang Ye.

So she felt it necessary to tell Yang Ye about what happened today.

Besides, even if she didn't say it, her agent would tell Yang Ye.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ye said such a thing, and Yang Yuying was stunned.

Yang Ye said bluntly: "His family is engaged in oil smuggling and has opened a trading company in Hong Kong. Lai Wenfeng is in charge of the smuggling business in Hong Kong and has been targeted. Stay away from him."

"Oh!"

Yang Yuying was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat! (End of this chapter)
