Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 75 Three beauties of martial arts

After "Fist of Heroes", this kind of hard-hitting action movies have come to an end, and they will never be more interesting than this one.

So Yang Ye chose to change his style and make martial arts films to play with artistic conception.

What about the artistic conception?

In front of Hu Jinquan, Li Jian, Zhang Yimou, and Xu Ke all had to call "Master".

Before King Hu, martial arts movies were cult movies, cult movies, and they were not popular.

After Hu Jinquan, martial arts films officially got rid of the cage of Japanese sword and halberd films and became a new genre of Chinese-language films, and they have made a splash in the world film industry.

King Hu established unique film aesthetics and shooting methods for martial arts films, and also created the profession of martial arts director.

When future generations make martial arts films, it is because he is innovating on the basis of his creation.

What Hu Jinquan lacks is that the technical level of this era is too poor, which affects his performance.

It doesn't matter, Yang Ye will help him make up for it.

When it comes to filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it would be a bit uncertain for Yang Ye to be the director himself.

Because the artistic conception is too mysterious, if it exists, it will exist, and if it doesn't, it will not exist. Even if Yang Ye has "divine power", he can't help much in this regard.

Unless Yang Ye can go to the filming locations of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Hongcun, Anji, Wushi, Summer Resort... and restore them one to one on the spot.

But...it is simply impossible to shoot movies in the mainland now.

So Yang Ye's choice was to cooperate with Hu Jinquan. Hu Jinquan would choose the location, Hu Jinquan would take the shots, and the two would co-direct.

Movies such as Hu Jinquan's "The Heroine", "Spiritual Rain in the Sky", "Legend of the Mountain"... are all breathtakingly beautiful, and every frame can be cut out and used as wallpaper.

……

Yamaguchi Momoe is in an affair with Yang Ye and is unwilling to leave Yang Ye.

But Yang Ye wants to go to Taiwan, and she can't go without a visa.

Yamaguchi Momoe plans to return to Japan to apply for a visa, and then join Yang Ye in Taiwan.

Yang Yexin said, Taiwanese people think that Deng Lijun and I are a couple. I will take you to Taiwan on horseback?The Taiwanese people haven’t torn me apart yet?

He knew nothing about doing this kind of thing, so he told Yamaguchi Momoe: ""Fist of Heroes" is going to be released in Japan. I can't go to Japan for the time being. You are the heroine and you have to go back to the platform to promote our movie! And I’m going to the United States next month, so why don’t you just apply for a visa to go to the United States. Also, if you suddenly run out, you have to explain it to your mother and your office."

Yamaguchi Momoe thought it was reasonable, and happily returned to Japan to promote, apply for a visa, and ask for leave.

Yang Ye put Yamaguchi Momoe on the plane and couldn't help but sigh.

Men, they always have special feelings for women who have taken first blood. It doesn’t matter if it’s second-hand.

But Yang Ye traveled through time early. Others in Hong Kong would wear the 80s or even the 90s, but Yang Ye wore the 70s.

Good guy, many of those unparalleled beauties haven’t grown up yet. They all have first blood, and Yang Ye can’t even take them all.

So much so that Hu Yinmeng, a second-hand person, was easily accessible to Yang Ye, but he couldn't arouse any interest unless she came up and did it herself.

Having said that, due to the special psychology of men, first blood is not easy to get. Once you get it, you will inexplicably want to be responsible for the girl.

But how to be responsible?All married?
I think the law doesn't allow it!

Alas, Yang Ye had no other choice but to break the jar.

No matter what, you have to take it!
……

"A Feng, long time no see!"

Xu Feng hummed, which was considered a greeting.

Yang Ye didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Let's order!"

The three of them ordered a few dishes at random. When the dishes were served, Yang Ye asked: "Director Hu, you have read the script. Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Hu Jinquan smiled and said: "Master Yang, just call me Lao Hu. I read the script carefully three times, and it is really amazing. I really didn't expect anyone to do a more detailed script than me, Lao Hu. After reading the script, the whole script is amazing." I already have a picture in my mind of what the movie will look like. Mr. Yang, you really have a lot of breasts!"

Last time, Yang Ye gave Hu Jinquan 70 yuan to shoot "Spiritual Rain in the Sky", and after giving the money, he stopped asking, leaving him fully responsible.

This made Hu Jinquan very happy, so he flattered Yang Ye wildly, hoping that next time he could get more money to make the movie he wanted to make.

Yang Ye chuckled and didn't take it seriously.All great directors are masters of deception. They can do anything to make money. What does it mean to flatter them?
Yang Ye said: "Lao Hu is overrated, let's just talk about the problem."

Hu Jinquan said: "In terms of plot, I think it is very perfect, but there are many scenes that I find extremely difficult to achieve and feel incredible."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "These are not problems. I can draw them and have my own solutions. There are only two problems we are facing now, one is location selection and the other is casting. As for location selection, I really can't do it. I want to give you the full responsibility if I have time. In fact, I want to go to the mainland, but unfortunately I can’t go, so I can only choose around the mainland.”

Hu Jinquan sighed: "The mountains and rivers of the motherland are magnificent. It is a pity that I can't go there to shoot. Leave the location selection to me. So, what opinions does Mr. Yang have on the casting?"

Yang Ye said: "Just use your usual team."

Hu Jinquan said: "But there is a problem here. Now in the entire Chinese world, the person with the most box office appeal is Mr. Yang. But this Li Mubai, he should be a middle-aged man in his 30s, doesn't it match your image?" Yang Ye said: "I don't play Li Mubai, I play Luo Xiaohu."

Hu Jinquan was surprised: "Are you playing a supporting role?"

Yang Ye smiled: "Is there any problem? The filming of this movie is too difficult, and it has to travel all over the country. I plan to co-direct with you, but I really don't have time to play the protagonist again. Moreover, the age and image of the protagonist are not suitable, so there is really no way. play."

Yang Ye, this is nonsense. Why didn't you say you didn't have time when you directed and acted in the last two movies?

He just wanted to play Luo Xiaohu and have a passionate scene with Yu Jiaolong.

Hu Jinquan said: "Okay! But Mr. Yang, it is really rare for you to be in a supporting role now. Among my team, the most famous actress is Afeng, and her temperament is suitable for playing Yu Jiaolong."

Yang Ye grinned at Xu Feng and said, "A Feng, shall we act as a couple?"

Hu Jinquan saw this and thought: Damn, this pervert is trying to get Ah Feng's idea. No wonder he told me last time that he wanted to sign Ah Feng into his film company.

Hu Jinquan had read the script and naturally knew that there was a passionate scene between Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong.Yang Ye gave up Li Mubai and insisted on playing Luo Xiaohu. Hu Jinquan could only think this way.

Xu Feng said: "I listen to Master."

Before Hu Jinquan spoke, Yang Ye said: "A Feng is indeed beautiful, but I think she is more suitable to play Yu Xiulian. As for Yu Jiaolong, I should find a girl around to play."

The cast of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a bit confusing. There is no dispute that Li Mubai is the male lead. It stands to reason that Yu Xiulian is the female lead and has a lot of roles, but the highlight of the movie is Yu Jiaolong.

Hu Jinquan realized that he had misunderstood Yang Ye. He thought he was a pervert and deliberately acted as Luo Xiaohu just to take advantage of Xu Feng. It turned out that he was not.

Hu Jinquan asked apologetically: "So who does Mr. Yang think is suitable to play Yu Jiaolong?"

Yang Ye said: "Of course Lin Qingxia."

Hu Jinquan found that he had misunderstood again. It turned out that Yang Ye did not want to take advantage of Xu Feng, but wanted to take advantage of Lin Qingxia.

Still a pervert!

Yang Ye said with a serious face: "The role of Yu Jiaolong is a rebellious and stubborn girl. Although Lin Qingxia is playing Qiong Yao drama, she has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which is actually more suitable for playing a heroine. And she She is also relatively young, so there is no one more suitable than her.”

Hu Jinquan deeply agreed with Yang Ye's words.

"I have also noticed Lin Qingxia's appearance. Her acting in Qiong Yao dramas is indeed a waste of talent. If she can act in martial arts films, she will definitely shine."

Now Hu Jinquan no longer makes blind guesses that Yang Ye is a pervert and has ulterior motives.

Because he believed that Yang Ye did have a keen eye and had the same vision as his hero, the casting was entirely based on the movie.

He said: "It's just that Lin Qingxia has always acted in Qiong Yao dramas. Let her play the heroine this time. I don't know if she is willing to come."

Yang Ye said: "She makes those shabby three-room movies every day, and she can make ten movies a year. What's the point? I will personally hire her for such a good role. I believe she can sleep with her."

Hu Jinquan disagreed, thinking: Lin Qingxia is a pure and beautiful girl, you want her to act in a passionate scene?She is willing, but Qiong Yao is not willing.

But he didn't know what to say, he wanted to wait until Yang Ye hit a wall before talking.After Yang Ye said it, he also felt that Lin Qingxia was suitable for Yu Jiaolong, and he still hoped that Yang Ye could successfully invite Lin Qingxia back.

Yang Ye said: "Lao Hu, speaking of your film team, there is another great beauty, Zheng Peipei, who is known as the 'Martial Arts Queen'. Where is she now?"

Hu Jinquan said: "When I was filming "Dragon Inn", I hoped to find Peipei to play the heroine. Unfortunately, she chose to get married and immigrated to the United States at that time. I chose Ah Feng again, but Ah Feng was too old at that time. I was too young and only played a small supporting role in "Dragon Inn", which is ultimately a pity."

The heroine of "Dragon Inn" was chosen to be Shangguan Lingfeng. Shangguan Lingfeng's image and temperament could not support the heroine of this movie, so it was a failure.

Yang Ye said: "In the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the blue-eyed fox thinks that Yu Jiaolong and she are the same kind of people. So when choosing a character, I will consider it in terms of appearance, so that the audience can easily recognize this point of view. It feels more immersive.

Zheng Peipei and Lin Qingxia are both beauties with a heroic spirit between their eyebrows.It is from this point of view that I hope they can play the role of master and apprentice.Cheng Peipei plays the master, Blue Eyed Fox, and Lin Qingxia plays the apprentice, Yu Jiaolong. "

Hu Jinquan said: "This is indeed interesting, but it is a pity that Peipei has long since retired. She is married and has children, and she is afraid that she will not come back."

Yang Ye said: "What's the point of her being a housewife at home every day? Write her a letter and I'll take it to the United States. I'll hire her for such a good role in person. I believe she can sleep with her!"

In Li Yin's version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zheng Peipei and Yang Ziqiong are really too old.

In Wang Dulu's original work, the blue-eyed fox was a great beauty who was still a girl when she seduced Li Mubai's master Jiang Nanhe.

But according to Zheng Peipei's age in Li Yin's movie version, the blue-eyed fox is Jiang Nanhe who was seduced only when he was 50 or [-] years old. Is Jiang Nanhe's taste so strong?
And Yu Xiulian, according to the novel, she should be around 30 years old, so Yu Jiaolong calls her sister.

But do you think Yang Ziqiong looks like Zhang Ziyi’s sister?Pretty much like her mother.

From a casting point of view, Li Yin's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a huge failure, as the actors were all too old.

But Li Bian had no choice. There was a serious shortage of female actors in the Chinese film industry, so he could only make do with it.

Cheng Peipei and Yang Ziqiong are both very good beat girls with good acting skills. The disadvantage of age can only be ignored.

But now that Yang Ye is here to shoot, it’s not a problem at all.

Cheng Peipei, Xu Feng, and Lin Qingxia were the leading heroines in the Chinese film industry in the 60s, 70s, and 80s respectively.

I'll get it all together for you in one go, it's perfect!
