Zhou Xun has been in Hong Kong for a week, and she was arranged to live in Yang Ji's dormitory.
When she came to Hong Kong, Li Zhi personally picked her up, and Li Zhi personally arranged all subsequent related matters.
Yang Ye did this because Zhou Xun came from the mainland and was easily discriminated against by those Hong Kong women.
Although people in big cities are xenophobic and like to engage in regional discrimination, they are all discerning.
Li Zhi personally sent Zhou Xun to live in the dormitory. It was obvious that she had a good background, so naturally no one dared to mess with her, but they were all very polite to her.
The so-called regional discrimination and xenophobia are actually looking down on the poor and showing class contempt for superiority.
There is also a sense of crisis, fear that these influxes of outsiders will take away their jobs and social welfare.
In Hong Kong in the 1990s, the most xenophobic people were Hong Kong women. They crazily discriminated against mainlanders who came to Hong Kong to seek a living.
Because society is highly developed, they have become a generation of feminist awakening.
But their awakening was of no use, because the Hong Kong men went to marry mainland women as soon as they turned around.
Although Yang Ye did not come forward in person, Li Zhi was from mainland China and spoke Mandarin.
Let Zhou Xun feel a little familiar in this city where Cantonese and English are spoken.
Li Zhi was very busy and actually had no time to care about Zhou Xun's affairs. At first, she thought Zhou Xun was Yang Ye's woman, but later she found out that she was not, which was quite strange.
Li Zhi asked Zhou Xun to communicate more with the people around him and integrate into the city as soon as possible, and then went about his own business.
After Zhou Xun settled down, he was arranged to learn kung fu at the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall.
Zhou Xun's appearance is not top-notch. If you want to get ahead in the Hong Kong circle, it is necessary to know both skills.
She majored in folk dance at Zhejiang Art School, and was the lead dancer in the school's performances.
It is very easy for a dancer to become a dancer, as long as he learns the tricks well.
Yang Ziqiong originally studied ballet. After studying with Hong Jingbao for a while, she transformed into a fierce beater.
Not long after this, when the Spring Festival was approaching, Zhou Xun was preparing to go home for the New Year, but he received a call from Yang Ye, saying that he would treat her to dinner tomorrow.
Zhou Xun has been in Hong Kong for so long, Yang Ye has never shown his face, but now he finally appears.
The next day, Yang Ye drove to pick up Zhou Xun and took her to the Kowloon Typhoon Shelter Restaurant.
Zhou Xun met Yang Ye and greeted him politely. Like everyone around him, he politely called him Sir.
Logically speaking, she should hate Yang Ye to death after Yang Ye played with her and didn't even recognize anyone when he lifted his pants.
But Yang Ye took her to Hong Kong to film a movie and asked her to be the heroine. She should be grateful to Yang Ye.
She couldn't find a balance between love and hate, so she didn't know how to face Yang Ye.
The key point is that Yang Ye's attitude towards her is also very subtle. It would be better if Yang Ye told her straightforwardly that you sleep with me and I will let you be the protagonist. This is a deal.
But Yang Ye is not like this. He obviously takes care of her and cares about her.
Yang Ye’s operation is actually a bit crazy.
Zhou Xun couldn't understand Yang Ye's logic, but she would not fall out with Yang Ye, because Yang Ye made it clear that he was her noble person.
Even if Zhou Xun wanted to break his head, he would never think that Yang Ye was a time traveler and her crazy fan.
I slept with her to realize my dream, and helped her because she is a potential stock.
Yang Ye never mentioned anything about that night and asked casually: "How have you been lately?"
"It's not bad. I practice martial arts every day, learn Cantonese, and go to the studio to watch them filming. , very fulfilling.”
“Today I invite the creators of “Cang Hai” to dinner. The producer, director, and starring actors are all here, so we can get to know each other.”
"Oh!"
"Have you seen "Cang Hai"?"
"I've only heard of it before, but never watched it. I watched it twice recently."
"That's fine, "Canghai" is my early novel , in fact, the writing is not very good. Although the role of Yao Qing is the first heroine, she is actually not very likable. How to play her without being annoying is very challenging, you have to work hard."
< br>Not long after, we arrived at the restaurant where we were treating our guests.
Yang Ye and Zhou Xun actually arrived earlier. Unexpectedly, everyone was already waiting there. When they saw Yang Ye, they all greeted him respectfully.
There are many celebrities here that Zhou Xun has seen on TV before. People like Julian Cheung and Louis Koo are very popular in the mainland.
After Zhou Xun has been here for so long, he has long understood that Yang Ye is the local emperor in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Those Hong Kong celebrities who are usually aloof in the eyes of mainlanders were very well-behaved when they saw him.
Yang Ye ignored the big stars, but said to one of the old men: "Uncle Tian, you came early enough!"
The old man was flattered and said: "Sire, just call me Ah Tian."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You are an elder. When you entered the industry, I was still playing in the mud, so I will call you uncle." It should be!”
This old man is called Li Tiansheng, and he is a gold medal producer of Wireless.
In the original time and space, mainland audiences were not very familiar with the two rounds of Jin Yong dramas in the 1970s and 1980s. They were most familiar with the one in the 1990s, and the one who led this round of remakes was Li Tiansheng. .
Zhang Zhilin and Zhu Yin’s 94 Shooting Condor, Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong’s 95 Divine Sculpture, Lu Songxian’s 96 Xiaoao, Huang Rihua’s 97 Tianlong, Chen Xiaocun’s 98 Deer Cauldron, and 99 Snow Mountain Flying Fox, 2000 Jade Blood Sword.
Except for the 94 Shooting Condor, it is less famous because it has not been officially introduced in the mainland. The subsequent 95 Shooting Condor, 96 Swordsman, 97 Tianlong, and 98 Deer and Cauldron are all hailed as classics by mainland audiences.
In fact, the reputation of Li Tiansheng's remake in Hong Kong is not very good, because people are nostalgic and like to have preconceptions.
The Hong Kong audiences in the 1990s all missed the Jin Yong dramas of the 1980s and considered them classics.
Yang Ye wanted to film a second round of Jin Yong dramas and create another group of stars. He also wanted to differentiate himself from the previous batch of Jin Yong dramas on ATV, so he ordered Zhong Jinghui to recruit Li Tiansheng.
Because of this, Fang Yihua was so angry that he died.
A producer was parachuted in to take charge of the filming of "Cang Hai", and everyone at ATV was confused.
Did we not do well before? Over the years, I have been relying on wireless gaming!
But Yang Ye has his own reasons. He does not need to explain to anyone, and no one dares to question his decision.
Li Tiansheng attaches great importance to being able to supervise the production of "Cang Hai", and he fully respects Yang Ye for directly selecting the male and female protagonists.
"Canghai" is Yang Ye's novel, and Yang Ye has the final say.
It was rare that Yang Ye was here, so everyone wanted to show off and expressed their opinions on the roles they wanted to play.
Actually, Yang Ye doesn't attach much importance to the adaptation of "Cang Hai". He is just warming up for the second round of ATV's remake of Jin Yong's drama.
"Cang Hai" mainly has two male protagonists, Lu Jiangu and Zhen. Although there are many female characters, they have little role and their personalities are not distinct.
Zhou Xun and Li Ruotong both make appearances, but the main event is later.
Generally speaking, when ATV makes TV series, they select actors from Baiyang Agency.
But this time Yang Ye brought a girl back from the mainland and parachuted into the female lead.
The other heroine Li Ruotong is not an actor of Yang Ji. She is an artist signed by Johnnie To after becoming independent, although Johnnie To is also from Yang Ye's family.
Li Ruotong was originally a flight attendant and entered the entertainment industry in 1990. She also filmed "City of Monsters" produced by Xu Ke. Although she is a supporting character, she is so beautiful in it.
Recently, she had just returned from filming "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple" in the Mainland, and was appointed by Yang Ye to star in "The Big Sea".
Although she was a little confused, she came happily.
Anyone who enters this circle is not just for fame and fortune. Being favored by Yang Ye means that you are developed.
After Yang Ye introduced Zhou Xun and a group of Hong Kong people to each other, he ordered the banquet to start and everyone chatted while eating.
The dishes were served smoothly, and a waiter brought a plate of beef, which was placed right in front of Gu Tianle.
Yang Ye subconsciously said: "Put it here, he doesn't eat beef!"
The waiter said sorry and moved to another place to serve the dishes.
Gu Tianle was very surprised because he really didn't eat beef. He didn't expect that the boss knew his preference, and he was very touched.
In fact, Yang Ye just had a subconscious reaction, because Gu Tianle’s phrase "I don’t eat beef" was widely circulated on the Internet in later generations.
As for Gu Tianle not eating beef, it is said that he used to like beef the most.
But one time his father was seriously ill, and he made a wish to the Bodhisattva that if his father's illness could be cured, he would not eat beef.
Later, his father recovered from his illness, and in order to fulfill his wish, he really stopped eating beef.
The joke in "Dangerous City" may have been deliberately created by the director because of Louis Koo's habit of not eating beef.
So what is Gu Tianle’s favorite dish? Fried chicken.
This is a traditional Cantonese dish. Tim Lok once wrote an article, saying that when he goes to a restaurant to eat, fried chicken is a must-order.
……
The Spring Festival will be in a few days.
This year’s Spring Festival is a bit different from the original time and space, and seems a bit deserted.
Leading the line is the New Year film "The Rich Family" directed by Gao Zhisen and starring Huang Baiming, Zhang Guorong and others.
Huang Baiming makes a New Year's film every Spring Festival to make money, and this year is no exception.
There are also "Cit Shaolin" directed by Liu Zhenwei and starring Zhou Yunfa, "Lord of Destruction" by Zhou Xingchi, and "The Five New Shaolin Patriarchs" by Jet Li.
And the boring "Dragon Gambler: The Flag Rises".
The two most important movies of the original time and space, "God of Gamblers 2" and "Drunken Master 2", have long been produced by Yang Ye and Chen Long, and neither appeared in this year's Spring Festival.
Because Chen Long is busy with other things, he did not release a movie during the Spring Festival this year.
It gives people the feeling that the winter of Hong Kong film and television in the second half of 1993 has not passed yet.
Although Yang Ye won a group of awards last year, he was the only one who excelled, and others could only watch.
At this time, "Speed" has been successfully launched in Hong Kong, with the local box office exceeding HK$50 million.
The four films "Kung Fu", "Speed", "Terminator 3", and "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" released by Yang Ye in 1993 grossed 62 million, 50 million, 48 million, and 41 million respectively. Ranked first, third, fourth and fifth on the Hong Kong box office list.
As for the second-place "Jurassic Park", although Yang Ye has no director or starring role, he is credited as a screenwriter, and he also produced the movie.
Due to his huge fame, many people still count this film as his work.
People think that just because "Jurassic Park" is not an action movie, Yang Ye gave up directing. If he were to film it, the box office would not be bad.
Except for the early "ET", all the films directed by Yang Ye in his career were action films.
Yang Ye once said that "ET" was an accident, and he will still focus on action movies in the future.
Later, he promised as expected. Except for the three films "Sediq Bale", "At the Gate" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", which are war-themed, the others are all action films.
In every movie he directed, he was a macho man who made countless men's blood boil and made countless women sit on the ground and ovulate.
Now Yang Ye is truly the toughest guy in the world.
Hollywood’s Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc., all have to go back a little bit.
I don’t want to accept the challenge!
1994 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of movies. Many movie fans are looking forward to what kind of movie Yang Ye will bring this year.
......
This year the Yang family imported another child, and Zhu Lin gave birth to a son for Yang Ye.
Yang Ye feels that he is a bit like Zhu Hao in "The Fog" now, with a lot of wives and a lot of children, and he can't even figure it out.
However, Yang Ye is still very enthusiastic about being able to continue the genes crazily.
It is said that King Liu Sheng of Zhongshan has more than 120 children. Where the hell are they?
The more the merrier, we can afford it!
The Spring Festival season passed in a blur. All the major movies performed poorly, and none of them exceeded 40 million yuan.
Yang Yeque, Zheng Donghan and others beat the gong at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with high spirits, and Jade Bird Music Group was successfully listed.
The business of Jade Bird Music Group spans Asia and Europe, and because its boss is Yang Ye, who has a long career in the entertainment industry, it is favored by investors from all walks of life.
It skyrocketed as soon as it was listed, and its market value soon exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Next step, Yang Ye plans to extend the reach of Jade Bird Music Group to North America and build it into a global music group.
To achieve this goal, the first step is to win the copyright from Michael Jackson.
MJ owns the copyright to 4,000 songs from ATV Music, the most important of which are the works of The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
This is a huge fortune, and it is also the root cause of MJ's death.
As a black man, MJ is like a child holding money to get through the busy city, and he must die.
In 1995, Michael Jackson was in financial crisis.
Michael Jackson is signed to Columbia Records, a company owned by Sony.
In order to produce a new album, Michael Jackson went to Sony to borrow money, and Sony focused on the copyright in his hands.
In the end, Michael Jackson sold half of ATV Music Company to Sony for about US$100 million.
Both parties jointly established a Sony/ATV music copyright agency company, each owning half of the shares.
In 2006, Michael Jackson once again fell into financial problems and bankruptcy. He reached a deal with Sony. Sony provided Michael Jackson with new loans and reduced the amount of loan repayments, thereby helping Jackson survive. through the financial crisis.
As a condition of the deal, Sony has retained the option to acquire the remaining 50% of Jackson's shares in the future.
If Sony buys the remaining shares, Sony will fully own the copyright of Sony/ATV's tracks.
Jackson's music copyrights were valued at about $1 billion at the time.
Once MJ goes bankrupt, the copyright in his hands will belong to Sony.
Thus, MJ’s ordeal began, and the child molestation case and other various frame-ups were all related to this! (End of this chapter)
