In the 1990s, exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the four regions have become increasingly frequent. For this Golden Horse Awards, director Li Xing hopes that mainland films can also participate.
Although it was not approved in the end, the mainland film industry, led by director Xie Jin, sent a delegation to observe the film.
Xie Jin wanted to see Liuzi and was approved.
Yang Ye joined in the fun and wanted to meet this legendary figure, and ended up agreeing to go with Xie Jin.
Yang Ye took a group photo with Liuzi and gave him a complete set of his movies, including the latest "Terminator 3".
A few years later, a photo of Yang Ye and Liu Zi was revealed, and many netizens exclaimed that they had witnessed history.
"Terminator 2" was the global box office champion in 1987. As soon as the sequel came out, it naturally attracted much attention and was highly anticipated.
Yang Ye has already released two movies this year, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" and "Kung Fu", and the box office is very gratifying.
Now, for the first time, the third film is about to be released, and it is said that there is a fourth film to be released later, which makes his fans overjoyed.
At the same time as "Kung Fu" was released, "Terminator 3" started its global promotion work and is now about to be released.
As soon as the Golden Horse Awards ended, Yang Ye flew to Japan to have the world premiere of "Terminator 3" at the Tokyo International Film Festival.
The reason why the premiere will be held at the Tokyo Film Festival this time is because the Tokyo Film Festival has invited Yang Ye to participate many times since its establishment in 1985.
Yang Ye has been refusing to go because he doesn't have time, but the Tokyo Film Festival has persistently invited six consecutive editions, and Yang Ye really can't refuse.
However, he did not agree to serve as the chairman of the jury. He only agreed to bring "Terminator 3" to the Tokyo Film Festival for its world premiere.
As soon as Yang Ye arrived in Tokyo, he received a warm welcome. What the film festival wants is starlight.
At this time, Wu Jing, Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry also rushed to JD.com to join Yang Ye.
At the premiere, the four leading actors of "Terminator 3" gathered together, and Yang Ye grandly introduced the three leading actors to the media.
Back then, Xiao Wu Jing had grown into a handsome man. Yang Ye introduced him as the national martial arts champion, which made the Japanese media exclaim that another kung fu superstar was about to be born.
As for Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry, these two beauties are very good-looking and come from Japan, the country of their fathers, and they are also treated with high courtesy.
As early as 1983, Wu Jing played the role of childhood A Tian in "Boxing Fighter". At that time, many movies invited Wu Jing to star.
Yang Ye pushed Wu Jing away, and even suggested to Wu Jing's parents that they let him practice kung fu and lay a good foundation first.
By the time "Terminator 2" was released, Xiao Wu Jing had become famous all over the world. Yang Ye still banned him from taking roles, but he accepted him as his godson and took him with him to receive training in martial arts and acting.
Wu Jing of the original time and space was paralyzed and almost died due to practicing martial arts when he was fourteen years old. Yang Ye helped him avoid this obstacle. His current skills and physical fitness are stronger than those of the original time and space.
After "Terminator 3" is released, he will be ready to make his official debut.
Wu Jing had a very high starting point because he had made three movies with Yang Ye, but Yang Ye asked him to start from scratch instead of taking on big productions rashly.
Because his popularity is actually brought about by Yang Ye, it is relatively weak. Without Yang Ye, he may not be able to sustain the box office, so it is better to work steadily.
……
After the interview, the movie officially started screening.
This time in "Terminator 3", two terminators are still sent from the future, and then the chase mode is started.
The plot is lackluster, there is no breakthrough in the stereotype, and the most eye-catching thing is that the male Terminator is replaced by a female Terminator.
However, Halle's figure is really great. When she appeared on the stage, she was full frontal, which made many viewers look straight at her.
The T1000 back then was very impressive, but it had a shortcoming. Although it couldn't be killed, it was not lethal enough.
This time the T-X has greatly enhanced its combat effectiveness. In addition to the liquid skin of the T1000, it also has a metal skeleton. It is not only invincible and can transform, but also carries various weapons such as plasma cannons, chainsaws, and flamethrowers. Functions It's so powerful that it beats the T850 to its core.
But "Terminator 3" also has some advantages of its own. The film has clear sections and good rhythm control.
It separates action and drama into clear parts that almost never overlap.
The action scenes are clean and exciting, making people's adrenaline rush.
Most of the scenes explaining the plot take place in the escape car, which serves as a rhythm adjustment and will not make people feel lengthy.
Generally speaking, making sequels is about making additions. The combat power of each movie is stronger than the last one, and the battle scenes are bigger than the last one. Otherwise, the audience's expectations will not be met.
"Terminator 3" follows this kind of gameplay. The battle scenes between Yang Ye and Harley are very passionate. Yang Ye carries Harley and hits them like crazy without mercy.
Especially the road chase scene full of metal collisions was even more astounding.
Good guy, not only destroyed the entire road, but even the houses on the roadside were not spared.
In the past, when filming this kind of scenes, we usually chose to use miniature models.
In "Terminator 3", a road was really built, a house was built on the roadside, and then it was really destroyed.
A truly big scene, it can definitely be regarded as a classic highway chase scene in the history of movies.
And compared to the original work, Yang Ye still made some innovations.
The first is to modify the character of John Connor. (Yang Han was adopted by an American couple, and his English name is John Connor.)
In the original third film, Connor is a decadent young man with no charisma, which makes people wonder, can this guy also be a leader?
This does not fit with the character in the second film, and also weakens the charm of his mother.
Because his mother is a brave warrior and has taught him various skills since he was a child, hoping to train him into a warrior who can save the world.
So in the third part of Yang Ye's version, Yang Han inherits Yang Lisa's character. Although he is not a superman, he is quite fierce and can handle fighting and firearms very well.
Moreover, after reuniting with his former playmate Kate Brewster, he took the initiative to approach her, save her, and protect her. The two had a kissing scene.
In addition, Yang Ye also used his future experiences to add some high-tech things to the movie.
T-X's setting, in addition to its powerful combat power, can also copy the programs of any system, and can also invade other computer systems, use nano-syringes to input viruses, and tamper with programs to achieve dominance and control.
The story of the movie takes place in 2003, so what will the computers and mobile phones of the future look like?
In Yang Ye's version of "Terminator 3", the mobile phone has a touch screen and the computer monitor is an LCD, which looks full of science fiction.
Although Yang Ye deliberately acted specious, his fantasy about the future still opened the eyes of many viewers.
The 1990s was a period of great development for LCD technology, so it was not too much for him to do this, and it satisfied the fantasies of many people.
After Yang Ye's adjustments, this "Terminator 3" was completed, which can be regarded as a success.
The movie ended with a global nuclear explosion and the destruction of the world, and the audience gave it warm applause.
During the Tokyo International Film Festival, there was an endless stream of audiences who came to see it, and the screening rights of the film were naturally sold out.
... "Terminator 3" didn't win any awards at the Tokyo Film Festival, but Yang Ye didn't really care.
I had nothing to do, so I went to work as an art consultant for "The Tale of Genji" that Kadokawa Pictures was about to shoot.
"The Tale of Genji" is known as Japan's "Dream of Red Mansions", but it was written 800 years earlier than "Dream of Red Mansions" and is the earliest full-length novel in the world.
This book is a household name in Japan. Since the movie, it has been remade many times. As of 1993, ten versions have been produced.
Kadokawa Rihihiko chose to run away because of his ideological disagreement with Kadokawa Haruki. The two brothers had a falling out, which originally made Kadokawa Haruki very depressed.
However, Yang Ye later invested in Kadokawa Rihihiko to help him change his career path and engage in light novels.
Kadokawa Rihihiko had his own goals. Not only did he no longer have a competitive relationship with his brother, but he also had unlimited possibilities for cooperation, and the relationship became better again.
Because if you want to make light novels big, you have to turn them into movies, TV shows, and anime.
When there is a large film company at home, isn't that a perfect cooperation?
One provides IP, and the other is responsible for incubation. Together, we can make the business bigger and stronger, and both have a bright future.
So the two brothers reconciled again.
Kadokawa Haruki's proudest thing is that he decisively chose Yang Ye. Since then, his entertainment career in Japan has been prosperous.
He regarded Yang Ye as a good friend and admired Yang Ye's vision. When he saw Yang Ye investing in Kadokawa Rihihiko, he decisively invested in it.
Now Kadokawa Rihihiko has the support of two consortiums, a large amount of funds, and almost unlimited ammunition, and he is preparing for a big fight.
In this year of the original time and space, Kadokawa Haruki, who was at the peak of his powers, was cheated by his younger brother, and his career was interrupted.
It wasn't until 2004 that he came back again and made several major productions, but his momentum was not as good as before.
One of them, "Wolf: To the Ends of the World," tells the story of Genghis Khan.
The Japanese filmed the Mongolians as if they were a piece of fucking shit, and they lost out like idiots.
But now, Kadokawa Haruki has nothing to do. He is addicted to making movies. He has set his sights on "The Tale of Genji" and is preparing to adapt it into a movie.
It happened that Yang Ye came to Tokyo and met with their brothers, so he asked Yang Ye for his opinion.
The novel "The Tale of Genji" tells the corrupt life of Japanese nobles, the fate of the world and the tragedy of women.
In the Echizen Kingdom thousands of years ago, Emperor Barnacles had a son with a lowly concubine.
The other concubines were very jealous and killed the concubine within three years.
It is difficult for the young prince to gain a foothold in the palace without the support of his powerful relatives.
Emperor Tonghu had no choice but to demote him to the status of a minister and give him the surname Yuan.
Genji is not only stunningly beautiful, but also talented, but although he is a prince, he does not have the status of a prince.
After Genji was crowned at the age of twelve, he married Aoi, the daughter of the left minister, but he did not love her.
Genji had been in love with his father's beloved concubine, Barnacle, since he was a child, and had an incestuous relationship. He also made her pregnant and gave birth to a son.
Genji later accidentally discovered a girl named Murasaki who looked like a barnacle, so he raised her at home and officially married her.
Genji successively had ambiguous relationships with more than a dozen aristocratic women, including Akashi Hime, Sugatsuya, and Rokujo...
In short, this guy is Ximen Qing in "Jin Ping Mei" who traveled through time and became Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", handsome, tall, rich and handsome, pan donkey and Deng Xiaoxian, specializing in white and rich beauty...
Since the novel was too long to be told in one movie, Yang Ye suggested that Haruki Kadokawa only make the first volume of the story.
This way, you can cut out a lot of women and just shoot seven.
Find a well-known and well-reputed veteran actress to play Murasaki Shikibu as the narrator of the story.
Then find a beautiful woman who is full of wifeliness to play Genji's stepmother, and let her have incest with Genji.
Then find a beautiful woman to play the heroine Purple Princess, and find a few beauties to play Aoi Hime, Akashi Hime, Ouzuki Ye, etc., and they are all fucked by Genji.
The most important thing is that the male protagonist Genji needs to find a woman to play the role.
After talking for a long time, the key point is to find a woman to counteract Genji.
"The Invincible" filmed by Yang Ye and Lin Qingxia is very popular in Japan. The ninja fighting in it is eye-opening and amazing to the Japanese.
And Lin Qingxia's return of Dongfang Invincible, unparalleled in elegance, is also very popular in Japan.
Yang Ye suggested: "Guang Yuanshi is extremely handsome. Playing the role with an ordinary man cannot satisfy the audience's fantasy. I suggest using a woman to play the role."
Kadokawa Haruki understands literature. The characters in literary works are described in words, so readers need to imagine them by themselves.
Kadokawa Haruki understands that a character who is deeply rooted in people's hearts and is emotionally involved by readers is often perfect.
If a character in a novel is very handsome or beautiful, even if you find a handsome guy or a beautiful woman to play the role, readers will often dislike it. How can he deserve to be played by XXX if he looks like this?
Some people can even feel emotions when watching short movies. They will imagine that Youyou is pure and flawless, and many serious female stars are not worthy of comparison.
As for his extremely pure goddess eating and drinking in the short movie, he will automatically block it.
Or imagining that she had no choice but to feel sorry for her and love her even more.
Therefore, Yang Ye put forward the suggestion of using a woman to counteract Genji, which Kadokawa Haruki fully agreed with.
Because from human's own aesthetic point of view, no matter how beautiful a man is, he cannot be as beautiful as a woman.
For many women, they gravitate towards men with feminine feminine looks, finding them handsome.
And men do not reject those women who are very beautiful.
This is why in the entertainment industry, androgynous looks that are both male and female are often the most popular and have the highest commercial value.
This is also the fundamental reason why Lin Qingxia is known as the most beautiful woman in Southeast Asia.
So who will play the role of Genji? Of course it’s Tianhai Yuxi!
When Yang Ye dressed up Amami Yuki and stood in front of Kadokawa Haruki in a young man's uniform, the guy's eyes widened.
Yang Ye also admired it very much: "You are so handsome on horseback! It's just you tonight, don't even change your clothes." (End of Chapter)
