Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 86

The biggest winner at this year's Oscars is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

It won five awards in one fell swoop: Best Film, Best Actor and Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

As expected, Isabel Adjani was chosen by Yang Ye and was not selected as the best actress.

She and Yang Ye looked at each other from afar. Yang Ye gave him a helpless look, and Adjani glared at him fiercely.

The awards ceremony continued, and when it was the turn of "Best Foreign Language Film", the large amount of lobbying money spent really worked.

Host Jim Kelly took the list of winners and announced loudly: "From Hong Kong..."Shaolin Temple"!"

Yang Ye, Hu Yinmeng, and Xie Yi stood up suddenly and hugged each other excitedly.The venue also burst into warm applause.

Then, Yang Ye did not go to the stage, but crossed the crowd and came to Adjani, who was not far away from him, and hugged her for a passionate kiss.

"Oh my God!"

The scene suddenly erupted with exclamations. When Shay saw this, he immediately took the lead and blew the whistle.

Amidst the whistles and applause, Yang Ye stepped onto the podium.

He took the statuette and said calmly: "I prepared a small prop. I was originally worried that it would not be used and would become a laughing stock, but now I won't. Please bring up the prop I prepared."

Everyone was curious about what props he had prepared, and he had to carry them up.

When I saw it clearly, I was stunned. Good guy, he actually lifted up the street lamp on the street. What was the purpose of lifting this thing up?

After the street lamp was lifted up, it was quickly fixed.

Yang Ye handed the statuette to the host and asked him to stand far away.

Then he exhaled, jumped in three steps, and kicked the lamp hanging on it to pieces with a single whirlwind kick.

"Oh my God!"

“Chinese Kung Fu!”

The venue was full of incredible exclamations. The street lamp was almost three meters high. Yang Ye's kick was really amazing.

Host Jim Kelly ran up from the corner of the stage and said excitedly: "Oh, Nick, let me see your feet!"

Yang Ye put his feet up and almost kicked him in the face.

"Oh, my feet are so impressive. Come on, put your footprints on my dress."

Yang Ye really left a footprint on his white suit. The guy immediately took off his white suit and wanted to auction it on the spot, which made the audience laugh.

After a while of commotion, Yang Ye hugged the statuette again and formally delivered his acceptance speech.

"Hello everyone, I am Yang Ye from China. I just performed the kick on the street lamp because many people watched my movie "Shaolin Temple" and questioned how the last kick in the movie was done. So, today, Let’s take this opportunity to give you a demonstration.”

After saying this, a burst of thunderous applause suddenly broke out from below, because this kick is so cool!
"This is the first time for a Chinese to stand on the Oscar podium. I want to thank the Hollywood judges. You are very discerning. I want to thank all the crew. This award belongs to all of us. Thank you to my beloved Girl, I love you! Finally, I want to make an advertisement. "Shaolin Temple" is still in theaters. I hope that viewers who haven't seen it yet can go to the theater to watch our movie. Thank you!"

……

"Chinese films gain international prominence, Shaolin Temple wins Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film", this is the title of "Wen Wei Po".

"Yang Ye defeated Akira Kurosawa, Shaolin Temple won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film", this is the title of "Ming Pao".

"Yang Ye defeated Emperor Nippon, Akira Kurosawa hated the Oscar!" 》This is the title of "Industrial and Commercial Daily".

"Yang Ye kisses French Rose Adjani passionately at the Oscars!" ” This is the title of Oriental Daily.

"Yang Ye's shocking kick shattered a three-meter-high street lamp! "This is the title of "Sing Tao Daily".

……

For this era, the impact of "Shaolin Temple" winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is not as great as the time it won in Cannes.

But this time I won the award by defeating the film emperor Akira Kurosawa. The meaning is completely different. It is filled with national sentiment.

Therefore, all the major media in the Chinese world were crazy about it, and Yang Ye's image became taller and taller, and he was awarded the title of "Anti-Japanese Hero!"

...Jiahe has begun re-screening "Shaolin Temple" again.

But this time I was more honest. I said hello to Xia Meng first and then I would share the money.

"Fist of Heroes" was officially canceled after the box office reached 1008 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the first Hong Kong blockbuster to exceed [-] million in box office.

In fact, it could be higher, but Anle Cinema bought the copyright of "Jaws" and directly copied "Fist of Heroes". There is no solution.

In the United States, Yang Ye's shocking kick on the podium also triggered widespread discussion.

Riding on the success of the award and Xie's expanded publicity, "Shaolin Temple" has been released in North America for four months, and the box office curve has begun to rebound again.

At this time, "Shaolin Temple" has achieved a box office of 1500 million US dollars.

After the box office rebounded, Shay once again expanded the scale of screenings, allowing the number of screening theaters to officially exceed 1000.

This is a treatment only available to Hollywood blockbusters.

On the one hand, the box office of "Shaolin Temple" is recovering again, and on the other hand, Xie Yi has begun to intensively promote Yang Ye's new film "Fist of Heroes".

The fighting in "Fist of Heroes" is more exciting than that in "Shaolin Temple". In such movies, there is simply a ceiling.

The only drawback is that the plot is not universal enough.

Mr. Lu Xun said: "The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy."

The hatred between country and family described in "Fist of Heroes" is something that people in other regions cannot relate to outside of East Asia and Southeast Asia because it has nothing to do with them.Therefore, although this movie is more exciting than Shaolin Temple in terms of action scenes, its box office performance in Europe is slightly weaker than "Shaolin Temple".

But its performance in Nanyang was even more ferocious than in "Shaolin Temple".

……

"I'm going back, sing me another song!"

Adjani is going back to France, and Yang Ye has many things to do and has to stay here temporarily.

The two found a French restaurant and had separate dinners.

Yang Ye sighed, it seemed that... he would continue to pick up Elena's wool.

He gestured to the waiter, called him over and said, "Can you tell the band that I would like to sing a song for my female partner."

The waiter nodded and ran to chat with the band for a while, and the music flowing in the restaurant stopped abruptly.

The waiter nodded to Yang Ye, who stood up and apologized to the piano player, who then gave up his seat to Yang Ye.

Yang Ye sat down, adjusted the microphone, and then said: "Tomorrow, my friend will leave Los Angeles and return to Paris. At this moment of separation, I want to sing a song for her. A song called "The Gone Away" Train" (Author's note: French song title ce train qui s'en va), for you, Isabelle Adjani!"

"Oh……"

There are so many French people in this restaurant, how could the French not recognize Adjani?
When they heard Adjani's name, they immediately searched for her. Their eyes soon fell on Adjani and they raised their glasses to her!
Adjani felt everyone's kind eyes, bit her lip, and listened to Yang Ye singing:

I shouldn't have come, I should have learned to lie
Only your smile will be sealed in memory

I wanted to leave my hope behind and make my farewell full of affection.
Look at this train, from me

away...

away...

The sound of the piano flows like water, and Yang Ye's singing is low and soothing, with a touch of sadness.

Although everyone has never heard of this song, this classic French song is obviously very popular with them.

Everyone closed their eyes slightly and listened quietly:

I know it's hard, but I'm still learning to accept it
How can I hide my secret from you?

But what's the benefit of lying to you?
I'm so sad to see you leave

Look at this train, from me

away...

away...

The lyrics were too appropriate for the occasion and the melody was too moving. Adjani's tears eventually fell.

The singing slowly ended, and so did the piano playing.

The diners in the restaurant applauded one after another, and people exclaimed: "It's so romantic, it's such a moving song..."

"Only songs like this are worthy of Adjani!"

"Who is this young man? He can actually win Ajani's heart?"

Yang Ye stood up, walked towards Adjani, stretched out a hand, and said politely: "Dear Isabel, can I ask you to dance?"

Adjani smiled in tears, stood up, put her little hand in Yang Ye's palm, and danced gracefully amidst the cheers of the crowd...

With her skirt flying and her long hair flying, Adjani turned left and right around the poplar leaves, as if flying in a dream...

When the song ended, Adjani's face turned red, she pulled up her skirt and gave a standard thank you to the audience, and the applause rang out like thunder.

"Yang, I will always remember this night, just like I remember that night..."

……

After Adjani left, Yang Ye began intensive film promotion work.

North America is the world's largest film market, and Yang Ye still attaches great importance to it.

He cooperated with Shay's work arrangements throughout the process.

The Oscar live performance won him great fame, making Nick Young's name famous in North America, and helped the box office of "Shaolin Temple" to soar.

At this time, of course, discordant voices emerged, the most typical one being...the American boxing community scorned Yang Ye.

Boxing champion Foreman faced a reporter's interview and said disdainfully: "Of course a monkey can jump high, but it can't withstand a punch."

Muhammad Ali even said arrogantly: "Foreman is too humble. I think if Nick kicks me, he will break his own bones."

The reporters excitedly told Yang Ye these rubbish words, and of course Yang Ye refused to show weakness.

After listening to the trash talk relayed by reporters, he told reporters bluntly: "If the American conquest allows it, I will challenge these bullshit boxing champions. Let's fight without gloves, without protection, and without rules." , don’t ask me to compensate you if you die!”

After Forman heard this, he immediately responded: "I have already meant this. If I win, I will let him kneel down and bite me!"

Ali scorned both black and white: "Nick has to beat Foreman to be qualified to challenge me."

Yang Ye responded with a look of disgust: "If Foreman loses, I will lead the bull over and let him bite."

The reporters happily passed on information to each other, and the two sides exchanged trash talk. Under the crazy hype of the media, the war was about to break out!
