Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 69 It was so cool to film the kissing scene

"Chinese martial arts emphasizes personal cultivation rather than actual combat. Your performance today can be regarded as a breakthrough."

"The purpose of competition is to knock down the opponent."

"You are completely wrong, young man, I tell you, the best way to knock down an opponent is to use a pistol. The purpose of martial arts training is to push a person's physical strength to the highest limit. If you want to reach this state, you must understand the universe. .Okay, I’m leaving.”

"Aren't you going to duel?"

"We have already dueled, and it's a tie..."

After a classic dialogue, the duel scene between Funakoshi Fumio and Chen Zhen was finally completed.

"Mr. Mifune, thank you for your hard work. Congratulations on wrapping it up."

"Yang Sang, I have been making movies for 30 years, including many Hollywood movies. This time I came to Hong Kong to shoot a movie, which is the most interesting experience in my career.

The reason why I agreed to make this movie is that your script really moved me.On the other hand, I also want to see what the Chinese masters who are sweeping the Japanese martial arts world look like.

I noticed that in addition to Chinese martial arts, the martial arts moves you choreographed also included Muay Thai, karate, taekwondo, and jujitsu...

Young man, you are truly a kung fu master.I seem to have seen that a new star from Asia is about to rise in the world of film circles. "

In this era, the superstars in the Hong Kong film industry have not yet risen. Toshiro Mifune has won the Venice Best Actor twice. He is not only the number one actor in Japan, he can even be called the number one superstar in Asia.

His words have been quoted by Yang Ye's fans many years later to prove Yang Ye's superiority.

……

After Toshiro Mifune wrapped up, it was time for the final highlight, the final eight-minute duel between Chen Zhen and Tsuyoshi Fujita.

This final duel is known as the textbook of world action movies and is regarded as a supreme classic by countless action movie fans.

When Li Lianjie and Billy Chou were filming, it took 25 days to complete.

Yang Ye naturally strives for perfection and takes photos until he is satisfied.

But before that, there is still one scene to shoot.

That is, the kiss scene between Chen Zhen and Mitsuko Yamada.

In the original version of "Fist of Heroes", there was no kissing scene between Jet Li and Shinobu Nakayama, and there was not even a scene of holding hands.

Now it's the turn of Yang Ye, the LSP, to take the photo. Naturally, he has to take advantage of his position to do it.

However, Yang Ye didn't dare to ruin the plot at will, and the kiss scene he added was okay.

In the plot of the movie:
Fujita just killed Akutagawa Ryuichi and framed Chen Zhen as the murderer, causing Chen Zhen to be taken to court.

At the critical moment, Yamada Mitsuko stood up as a witness. In order to save Chen Zhen, she lied in court, saying that she and Chen Zhen had been together the night Akutagawa died.

The court was in an uproar, but Chen Zhen was cleared of charges.

Yamada Mitsuko told Chen Zhen: "I have abandoned everything now, you have to support me for the rest of my life!"

However, Jingwu Sect could not accommodate a Japanese woman, so Chen Zhen had no choice but to take Guangzi to build a hut near Huo Yuanjia's tomb and live there temporarily.

After the duel between Chen Zhen and Funakoshi Fumio, Huo Ting'en came to find Chen Zhen. He wanted to teach Chen Zhen the Mizong Fist before the duel with Fujita Go.

At this time, the two had a conversation.

Huo Ting'en: "I brought Xiaohong back."

Chen Zhen: "The one at Zui Xin Building?"

Huo Ting'en: "Well, you can also take the photon back to Jingwu Sect."

Chen Zhen: "They can accept Xiaohong, but not Guangn. Because she is from Japan."

Huo Ting'en: "Photon can sacrifice for you like this, she is a good girl."

Chen Zhen: "Her staying in Jingwu Sect will definitely affect the reputation of Jingwu Sect. I can't be so selfish."

This sentence was heard by Photon.After Chen Zhen finished learning Mizong Quan from Huo Ting'en, he returned to the hut and only saw the letter left by Guangzi.

"I'm sorry, I still decided to leave. Some things in life are more important than love. You can do more without me by your side. Keep your promise, when the Japanese army returns to Japan, I will be there Kyoto is waiting for you.”

……

Yang Ye changed this plot slightly.

After Chen Zhen finished learning Mizong Quan, he returned to the hut to rest. That night, Guangzi volunteered himself...

When Chen Zhen woke up the next morning, he saw the letter left by Guangzi.

Such modifications have no impact on the main line of the movie and can also add some gimmicks.

Moreover, dedication and such are in line with the Chinese people's assumptions about Japanese women.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yang Ye, the LSP, has selfish motives. It’s so easy for me to make a movie. Why don’t I make a sex scene?
The last time it was because I played the role of a monk, I couldn't film it. This time I couldn't do it?
Of course, in view of Yamaguchi Momoe's innocent idol character, and Yang Ye is not Li Hanxiang who makes romantic movies, there is no need for the filming to be too explicit.

Just take a picture of Yamaguchi Momoe taking off her clothes, showing her back a little, and then take a picture of the two kissing.

……

"Are you nervous?" Yang Ye asked.

"Yeah!" Yamaguchi Momoe tilted her head, a shy smile appeared in the corner of her eyes.

"I haven't taken any pictures either," Yang Ye said.This kind of scene that was forced on him because of his own selfishness made him a little embarrassed.

"Ye Jun, you are more nervous than me." Yamaguchi Momoe smiled.

She wore a costume and an old-fashioned Japanese girl's bun that made her oval face look small.

Yang Ye looked at her innocent face, thinking that she was only 16 years old, and suddenly felt that he was too zombie, and said with conscience: "Actually... this scene doesn't need to be filmed." Yamaguchi Momoe looked at it in surprise. He glanced at Yang Ye, shook his head and said, "I read the script. Guangzi is leaving the man she loves deeply. She wants to leave a good memory. I think this scene is very necessary."

"Uh..." This statement was just made up by Yang Ye, but he didn't expect that she would take it seriously.

"Ye Jun, this is my first kiss." Yamaguchi Momoe said jokingly.

Damn, Yang Ye stood up immediately and asked: "Master Deng, are the lights ready?"

"You'll be ready soon, Mr. Yang, you can get ready to start filming."

……

The extra who was lying there as a substitute gave up his place, and Yang Ye lay down instead.

In this scene, Chen Zhen fell asleep, and Mitsuko sat up and moved on his own, so he only had to close his eyes and lie down and pretend to be asleep, and let Yamaguchi Momoe do the rest.

Johnnie To said: "The first shot of the first scene of the 36th scene of "Fist of Heroes", the first shooting, Exxon."

With the phone turned on, Yang Ye lay there pretending to sleep, waiting for Yamaguchi Momoe's kiss to fall on his lips.

However, after waiting for a minute and seeing nothing, he couldn't help but open his eyes and found Yamaguchi Momoe looking at him nervously, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.

Yang Ye said in surprise: "Is this really your first kiss?"

"Um, so...I don't know what to do."

"How about...I teach you?"

"Um……"

Yang Ye said to everyone: "Take a break for 10 minutes!"

As soon as the crew heard this, they immediately rushed out. In an instant, there were only two people left on the shooting scene.

Yang Ye thought to himself, these people are really smart, so they have to give them red envelopes.

After Yang Ye finished his rant, he found Yamaguchi Momoe looking at him, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Yang Ye brewed his emotions for a while, held the back of Yamaguchi Momoe's head with one hand, and slowly leaned over.

Yamaguchi Momoe closed her eyes slightly, as if she was waiting for this kiss. Just when their lips were about to meet, she suddenly said: "Ye Jun."

"Ok?"

"You like me, don't you?"

Her eyes suddenly opened and she stared at Yang Ye and said: "You and Mr. Mifune are filming fight scenes here every day. Because you have my camera, I have to accompany you. One day, I lay here and fell asleep, not knowing How long has it passed? It’s time to call it a day. I vaguely heard your voice saying distressedly in my ear, “You must be exhausted, poor little thing.” I knew from that day on that you liked me.”

After she said this, she closed her eyes again and raised her head slightly, as if she was letting you take whatever you wanted.

Yang Ye no longer hesitated, held her in his arms, and kissed her wet lips...

Yang Ye called the people back and continued working. The filming went smoothly. After the two kissed six times, the assistant director gestured and said OK, passed!
Yang Ye said to the assistant director in his heart: "Employees like you are simply 666!"

……

Shay acted very quickly. After returning to the United States, Shaolin Temple began to be released.

Since non-Hollywood films have never been released on a large scale in North America, Shay's operations are also more cautious.

He first found [-] theaters in California, a place with a large number of Chinese people, and started to distribute it. Using the gimmick of authentic Shaolin Kung Fu and winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival, he quickly captured a large number of Chinese people who came to watch it.

Within a week, long queues began to form at the entrance of the cinema. Seeing this, Xie's confidence increased and the project expanded to 31 cinemas, and soon spread from the Chinese community to other ethnic groups.

When Yang Ye got the news, the number of theaters had expanded to 143, and the box office had exceeded US$200 million.

"It's done!"

Yang Ye happily shared the good news with everyone.

It is a miracle that a foreign language film can break $200 million in North America.Even Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" only grossed over $100 million at the box office.

But 200 million is just the beginning. As more and more people watch the movie, the scale of screenings will continue to increase.

Shay's bet won. This film distribution company, which can only be regarded as an [-]th-tier film distribution company in North America, turned around because of one movie.

In fact, this result is not surprising to Yang Ye. Jet Li's version of Shaolin Temple caused a craze in North America that year.

In interviews, Chinese Americans such as Daniel Wu once mentioned the experience of going to the cinema to watch "Shaolin Temple" as a child. It was the first time that he felt proud of his skin color.

At that time, after "Shaolin Temple" became a success in North America, many Americans traveled all the way to China to learn martial arts in the Shaolin Temple.

The Songshan Shaolin Temple also became completely famous because of a movie. Its influence surpassed other famous temples and became the number one Buddhist temple in China.

"Ye Jun, congratulations." Yamaguchi Momoe knelt down in front of Yang Ye and said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

"I'm going back to Japan tomorrow, see you soon, Ye Jun!"

Yamaguchi Momoe lowered her head and saluted Yang Ye. In an instant, Yang Ye thought of a poem:

The most gentle bow

Like a water lotus that cannot stand the cool breeze

Say "take care"

There is sweet sadness in that sound of cherishing
Sayanara!

　It's the third update. Let's take a nap first. There will be more in the afternoon.
