Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 76 Born Lin Daiyu

Yang Ye and Hu Jinquan had a discussion, and decided on the three main female characters first, regardless of whether they were invited or not.

Next is the choice of the male lead Li Mubai.

In fact, in terms of celebrity status, the most suitable person in the film industry today is Wang Yu.

But Yang Ye would not choose Wang Yu.

In the original time and space, Wang Yu took Lin Qingxia's first blood.

It was 1974. Wang Yu was making a movie in Taiwan. This guy was a big star. Lin Qingxia had just entered the industry and admired him very much. Then she was tricked by him.

Of course Yang Ye knew about this, so when the filming of "Shaolin Temple" started, Yang Ye hired Wang Yu to play the role of Tanzong monk.

After "Shaolin Temple" became a hit, Wang Yu became famous and has been staying in Jiahe to film, so he and Lin Qingxia have never met.

Of course, it is unknown whether anyone else took advantage of Yang Ye's change in the past two years.

But it shouldn't be the case, because Lin Qingxia is very busy. She has to shoot ten movies a year and usually lives at Qiong Yao's house.

It was Wang Yu who took advantage of the fact that he was a big star.

That year Qingxia was a beast, Wang Yu was such a beast.

Yang Ye cursed and suddenly thought that Yamaguchi Momoe was only 16 years old and he was even more of a beast.

Forget it, eldest brother, don’t talk about second brother.

Yang Ye originally planned to use actors from King Hu's team to play Li Mubai, but gave up in the end.

Hu Jinquan... he only likes to photograph women.

In King Hu’s movies, the first protagonist is always a woman.He created the first classic heroine image in film history...Jin Yanzi.

Later, the name appeared countless times in various martial arts works, and even 40 years later, Liu Tianxian also starred in Golden Swallow.

As for the male characters in his movies, Yang Ye can only say that they look very distinctive.

Finally Yang Ye asked: "Can Di Long do it?"

Hu Jinquan said: "You are cooperating with Jiahe. Will Shaw Brothers let you go?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "I have fallen out with Jiahe now."

Hu Jinquan groaned and asked, "What's the reason?"

Yang Ye said: "Zou Wenhuai thought I died in Japan, and couldn't wait to go to my company to recruit people. Of course I had to show him some color. This time, "Fist of Heroes" will not be released in Jiahe's theaters. I'm pulling Anle and Li. Sound formed a theater chain."

"Then all our movies will be released in new theaters from now on?"

"Of course not. It was just a temporary theater chain. I got one vote and ran away. I just gave Jiahe a little bit of color to show. But Shaw Brothers didn't know that. Seeing that Jiahe and I had a falling out, I was probably happy to death. I If you go to borrow Dillon at this time, he will definitely lend it to you.”

Hu Jinquan was convinced. Yang Ye was taking advantage of both sides.

In fact, Yang Ye did not tell the truth to Hu Jinquan.

……

In the 70s, Taiwan was still under martial law, and the standards for electronic inspection were very high. In order to pass the inspection, Taiwan made a three-room romance movie, going back and forth in the dining room, living room, and coffee shop. The male and female protagonists and their parents and relatives chatted awkwardly, and one movie was enough. Finished.

There is no need to set up a scene or do styling. You need to bring your own clothes. The director tells the actors the day before how many clothes to bring, and you can match them yourself when you get home. A movie can be completed in one month. If it is shot quickly, it can only take three or four days. It’s not impossible.Liu Jiachang once tried to shoot a movie in three days.

The handsome men and beauties combined with Qiong Yao's novels and two bad songs by Liu Jiachang turned out to be very popular and became popular in Southeast Asia.

Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Fengjiao are the most famous, collectively known as the "Two Qin and Two Lins". As long as the producer signs a contract with two of them, they can get investment to start the production, with no loss in profit.

At this time, Lin Qingxia was filming in Yangmingshan almost all year round. At most, she was filming six movies at the same time. For convenience, she lived in Qiong Yao's house.

If Yang Ye wants to see Lin Qingxia, he can only visit Qiong Yao.

Otherwise, Lin Qingxia herself would not know where she was, and it would be impossible for Yang Ye to find her.

Qiong Yao and Jin Yong are relatives, and Jin Yong is her cousin, so Yang Ye easily got Qiong Yao's phone number. After the two parties contacted for a while, Yang Ye showed up at Qiong Yao's home on Ren'ai Road.

At this time, Qiong Yao was not yet 40 years old. She wore glasses and had long hair combed back, neatly falling on her straight back. She was wearing a small floral top and black trousers.

If Yang Ye wants to invite Lin Qingxia, he must convince Qiong Yao.Because she is not Lin Qingxia's biological mother, she is better than Lin Qingxia's biological mother.

Qiong Yao invited Yang Ye to the living room for tea. After the two chatted awkwardly for a while, Yang Ye said straight to the point: "I came here this time because I actually want to meet Qingxia. I want her to play the heroine in my new film."

Qiong Yao said: "I read the news some time ago. Mr. Yang's "Fist of Heroes" has sold distribution rights for millions of dollars before it was released. It's really gratifying. But... Mr. Yang is making a kung fu movie. Yes, Qingxia is in a romance movie, so it doesn’t seem like a good match, right?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Love can also exist in kung fu movies. You should have seen "Shaolin Temple", right?"

"Well, I've seen it. There is a way to have both peace and harmony in the world. Live up to the Tathagata and live up to you. It is indeed a touching love."

"So, there is no conflict. Has Ms. Qiong Yao heard of Wang Dulu?"

"I've heard that he writes martial arts novels."

"Although Wang Dulu wrote martial arts novels, he was good at romance. Among the 'Five Northern Schools' who wrote martial arts novels in the 30s, he was called the 'Tragic Romance School'. I plan to use his masterpiece "Crouching Tiger" "Hidden Dragon" is on the big screen, and I would like to cast Qingxia to play the heroine Yu Jiaolong."

"But Qingxia doesn't know how to do fight scenes."

"It can be taught, Zheng Peipei, and Xu Feng is not born with it."

Qiong Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "How long will it take for you to shoot?" "It's hard to say, maybe three to five months."

"It's too long. Next month Qingxia is going to shoot the military education film "Eight Hundred Heroes". I have given you all the time. What will my company shoot?"

The military education film had to be made, and Qiong Yao couldn't refuse it, but she didn't want Lin Qingxia to spend several months filming a martial arts film, and how much would it be wasted?
Yang Ye said: "Our movie is co-directed by Hu Jinquan and I, and Xu Feng also stars. She will also be filming "Eight Hundred Heroes" next month. It will be fine after they finish filming and join the team together. As for saying it will delay your company Filming time. With all due respect, Qingxia filming one film with me may have a greater impact than filming ten films in your superstar company. When she finishes filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and returns to your company, you will definitely It’s earned.”

Although Yang Ye's words may sound loud, he is telling the truth. Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" won the Grand Prix in Cannes and became famous all over the world.As for these crappy "three-hall movies" made by Qiong Yao, not to mention ten, a hundred are enough.

Qiong Yao thought about it for a while and thought it made sense, so she said, "Can you let me read the script?"

"of course can!"

Yang Ye took out a stack of scripts from his backpack and handed them to Qiong Yao.

After Hu Yinmeng came to Taiwan with Yang Ye, Yang Ye gave her a holiday and asked her to go home to see her parents, so that she would not get in trouble with him.

Qiong Yao was very surprised when she saw the script. Qiong Yao also wrote scripts, but her scripts only had text and nothing else.

She doesn't care how the director shoots. She only has one request: not a single word of the lines written by my mother can be changed.

No matter how silly the lines she writes are.

But Yang Ye had never seen a split-shot script like this that involved moves, camera positions, communication... and a series of details.

"Because the script is too thick, I can't carry it all, so I only brought the beginning. In addition, there is an original work of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" here, you can refer to it."

Of course Yang Ye would not bring the script involving the intimate scene, and he was not stupid.

Of course Qiong Yao knew the storyboard script, but the script was so detailed and even involved the camera setup that she was really amazed.

Normally this stuff is very boring, but Qiong Yao actually became addicted to it.

It took her more than half an hour to finish reading the script at hand.

This script tells the story of a generation of heroes Li Mubai who intends to withdraw from the world and entrusts his confidante Yu Xiulian to bring his Green Underworld Sword to the capital as a gift to Lord Belle for his collection.

This 400-year-old ancient sword has hurt countless people. Li Mubai hopes that such a major decision can show his determination to leave the world behind.

Unexpectedly, the sword was stolen that night. Yu Xiulian stepped forward to prevent the sword thief from fighting, but in the end the sword thief escaped with the help of his accomplices...

The plot is quite serious, with martial arts and suspense, a common formula in martial arts novels, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Because Yang Ye had already said that Lin Qingxia would play Yu Jiaolong, Qiong Yao asked: "Xu Feng will play Yu Xiulian?"

Yang Ye said: "Yes."

"Then what is the relationship between Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai?"

"Yu Jiaolong is a genius in martial arts. Li Mubai wanted to accept her as his disciple, and finally died trying to save her."

"So it's a master-disciple relationship?"

"That's right!"

Qiong Yao is very satisfied. Since they are master and apprentice, there are no emotional issues involved and Lin Qingxia's pure image will not be damaged.

Qiong Yao preconceived that Yang Ye would play the leading actor Li Mubai, because with Yang Ye's status, it was impossible to play a supporting role.

As for Yang Ye's age issue, she simply ignored it. This was nothing but a matter of makeup.

Qiong Yao and Yang Ye had a very good chat. Seeing that the weather was looking good, they left Yang Ye to eat at home. Yang Ye hadn't seen Lin Qingxia yet, so naturally he wouldn't leave, so he happily agreed.

Qiong Yao made a phone call and found out where Lin Qingxia was, and asked her to go home on time for dinner.

At about six o'clock in the evening, the nanny put the food on the dining table and the door opened.

A slender figure walked into the living room with tired steps.

"Sister Chen, I'm back. Are there guests at home?"

"Mr. Yang came here specially from Hong Kong to see you."

"Qingxia, hello, I'm Yang Ye!" Yang Ye said with a smile.

"Young Master Yang!" Lin Qingxia couldn't believe her eyes. She shook hands with Yang Ye shyly and said in disbelief, "Are you here to see me?"

Qiong Yao said: "Eat first, let's talk while eating."

After the three of them took their seats, Yang Ye began to look at the most beautiful woman in Chinese movies.

But I saw that she was slender, thin, and looked three years younger than her actual age. She had a melancholy temperament, which was completely inconsistent with the image of the domineering and sinister Dongfang Bubai and the six-fingered piano demon in the world's impression.

However, the real Lin Qingxia is like this. She is sensitive, melancholy, often in a daze, and has random thoughts all day long. She is exactly the same as the weak and weak heroines in Qiong Yao's novels.

In fact, since Lin Qingxia lived in Qiong Yao's house when she was a girl, she told Qiong Yao everything that was on her mind. The two talked about everything, often until two or three o'clock in the evening.

Therefore, many of Qiong Yao's novels are based on Lin Qingxia, both in character and appearance.

When the great director Li Hanxiang was filming "A Dream of Red Mansions", his first thought was to ask Lin Qingxia to play Lin Daiyu, because Lin Qingxia was simply possessed by Lin Daiyu.

The costumes were all set, and Li Hanxiang suddenly discovered Lin Qingxia's heroic side, so he changed his mind and asked Lin Qingxia to play Jia Baoyu. As a result, Lin Qingxia became a classic image in her film career.

Later, Xu Ke carried forward this characteristic of Lin Qingxia, and Dongfang Bubai became a god in one battle, and Lin Qingxia became indistinguishable from male to female.
