"Huang Pizi Tomb 2" will be released in Hong Kong in July.
Zhang Yimou, together with Yuen Biao, Hong Jingbao, Li Jiaxin, and Li Baotian who played Lao Sheepskin, a total of four leading actors, appeared in Hong Kong and started roadshow promotion.
The filming of "Huangpizi Tomb 2" was completed very early. It took more than a year to do post-production and wait for the schedule.
During this period, the three leading actors Yuen Biao, Hong Jingbao and Michelle Reis had their own activities.
Hong Jingbao directed and starred in a movie called "One Knife, All That", but the box office was only over one million, and Luo Wei's coffin money was completely lost.
Yuan Biao made a movie called "New Blood Sword", which only had a box office of just over one million, which was miserable.
The two's box office appeal has dropped to zero, and they have officially fallen into a career trough.
Hung Jingbao of the original time and space chose to accept the olive branch offered by Hollywood and went to the United States to film TV series, but he did not get out and soon returned to Hong Kong.
Yuan Biao quietly passed away and took his wife and children away to Canada.
Actually, both of these films are good films. "One Knife" treats a historical film as a martial arts film. Tan Sitong and Yuan Shikai are both martial arts masters, but the sense of historical significance does not weaken.
The movie's scenes, lines, and martial arts design are all very particular.
Full of feelings of family and country, it is a legacy among Hong Kong martial arts films.
"New Blood Sword" has too many magical changes. Except for the names of the characters, it has almost nothing to do with Jin Yong's original work. It is basically a fan work.
But this movie has been widely circulated. It was once the treasure of the Six Princesses, and it was often shown again.
The result is that fans overwhelm the original work. Many people think that the Golden Snake Sword can reflect light from the moon, and that there really is a sword like the "Blue Blood Sword" and that the blood of the protagonist is infinitely powerful.
In fact, the sword "Blue Blood Sword" does not exist at all in the original work of "Blue Blood Sword". Yuan Chengzhi's weapon is the Golden Snake Sword, and the Golden Snake Sword is a strange weapon with no reflective or biubiubiu function.
The main reason for the box office failure is that there have been too many martial arts movies made in recent years. Everyone is tired of aesthetics and physiologically resists when they hear that it is a martial arts movie.
Yang Ye also produced a "Kung Fu" that was ahead of its time, which made "everyone sitting here happy".
Now, "Huang Pizi Grave 2" has become Yuan Biao and Hong Jingbao's last hope, and both of them worked very hard to promote it.
The audience is very fond of the new and hates the old. They always want to see new things.
Watching Yang Ye's movies, they want to know what new tricks Yang Ye has used in action movies this time.
Watching Chen Long’s movies, they wanted to know how Chen Long committed suicide this time.
That’s why they can always win and be invincible!
The theme of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is very novel to the audience.
There are many mysterious ancient tombs hidden in unknown places, and many magical creatures are hidden inside.
The movie is full of suspense and thriller, and looks tense and exciting.
Coupled with sophisticated production and realistic special effects, it topped the summer calendar as soon as it was released.
However, the production cost of "Huangpizi Tomb 2" is also as high as 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the pressure to repay the capital is very high. After all, Yuan Biao's appeal is still a bit weak.
"Huang Pizi Tomb 2" was a hit at the box office, while "Heaven and Earth" in the same period was miserable.
When Cai Songlin persuaded Liu Hua to become independent, he refused.
But two years ago, Yang Ji reformed and released all the company's A-list stars, retaining only the distribution rights of their works. Liu Hua eventually established his own film company.
It is a pity that almost all the movies produced by this company, whether starring him or others, have been dumped on the street.
This "Heaven and Earth" is Liu Hua's last ditch effort. He co-produced it with Shanghai Film Studio and invited Fairy Jinghong, but he had no choice but to rush to the street again. Under the suppression of "Huang Pizi Grave 2" , the box office is less than 10 million.
Hong Kong’s box office is the benchmark for Hong Kong film sales. If the local market hits the market, the sales price will be greatly reduced.
After this battle, Liu Hua mortgaged the company to Cai Songlin. After ten years of hard work, once it was all over, he still owed a lot of debt.
Another unlucky guy is Johnnie To. His ambitious film "The Heroes of the East", which featured Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh, only had a box office of just over one million.
Looking for Aaron Kwok to shoot "Barefoot Boy", the box office was only... 20,000.
The record on the BOX website is 20,000, and another statement is 3.97 million.
"Barefoot Boy" was released for twelve days, the website record must be wrong.
The box office of "Ji Gong", co-produced with Stephen Chow, was far less than expected, and became the trigger for Taiwanese film producers to launch an attack. Johnnie To's film company also announced its bankruptcy.
These two people were conscientious when they followed Yang Ye, and Yang Ye thought he could give them a hand.
……
Peninsula Hotel, Shadow Man Tea Restaurant.
Yang Ye took Liu Xiaoli and An Feng, and the three of them had morning tea happily.
Not far away, Fang Yihua was not in the mood to drink tea, staring at Yang Ye's table, and couldn't help but mutter: "This bad guy, when did he have another woman, and he actually has such a big daughter."< br>
Run Run Shaw said helplessly: "Why are you so concerned about Ah Ye's personal affairs?"
"Um..." Fang Yihua said with some embarrassment: "I just watch this bad boy playing with women all day long, and I feel like Uncomfortable."
"That is his private matter and has nothing to do with you. You should pay attention to it during this time. The thing about Galaxy TV is not to say it is better than Star TV, but at least it cannot be too far away to make people laugh."
Fang Yihua said quickly: "I understand."
Shao Yifu. He made a sound and said in a very appreciative tone: "Aye's eyes are really vicious when it comes to women.
This woman is not well-known, but she is as good as any female star. If she debuts in a movie, she will definitely become famous.
It’s rare that this kid hides his beauty in a golden house and keeps silent, even the child is so big. ”
Shao Run Run himself was once a romantic and had countless daughters, but he was still very envious of Yang Ye for being able to find so many beautiful women as confidantes.
Liu Xiaoli and her daughter came to Hong Kong It’s been almost a year, Yang Ye didn't see them much.
Liu Xiaoli was a little resentful at first, but she quickly devoted herself to her work, learned Cantonese, and took care of her daughter, and her life gradually stabilized. .
Although Yang Ye didn't see them much, he took good care of them in terms of life, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so Liu Xiaoli had no complaints.
She didn't really fall in love with Yang Ye, but Yang Ye's conditions were too good for her to refuse.
The domineering president fell in love with me, a divorced mother-in-law. Which woman can withstand this top-notch female channel plot?
Yang Ye gave Xiao Anfeng a shrimp dumpling, and Xiao Anfeng said obediently: "Thank you, Dad!"
Yang Ye touched her little head lovingly and said to Liu Xiaoli: "Recently This drama is a three-part series. I basically stay on the set in Shenzhen, so I don’t have much time to see you and Xiaofeng. Don’t mind.”
Liu Xiaoli said considerately: "It doesn't matter, your work is important."
Yang Ye hummed and said, "Is your work going well?"
When talking about work, Liu Xiaoli's eyes There was a flash of bright color, saying Said: "It's good. Everyone is very friendly to me, and the students are also very talented."
Liu Xiaoli's dancing level is very good. Although she is from mainland China, the trainees treat her very well. I am also very impressed with my business ability.
After Qian Shenyong and Lin Li came to Hong Kong that year, Qian Shenyong worked as a teacher in Baiyang Company’s training center, teaching drama theory to the trainees.
After so many years, Qian Shenyong has gradually become the director of the training center.
He is from mainland China, and naturally no one in the entire organization dares to look down on mainlanders, so Liu Xiaoli's work in the training center went very smoothly.
Yang Ye said: "That's good. By the way, I want to discuss something with you."
Liu Xiaoli said strangely: "What is it?"
"I want to arrange it What do you think about Xiaofeng going to film?”
Liu Xiaoli said strangely: "Filming? She is still a child."
"Although she is still young, I can see that she is very talented. In time, she may grow into a big star. "This made Liu Xiaoli very happy. Praising a child is often more effective than praising her parents.
It would be even better to praise the child for his talent and potential.
What's more, Yang Ye is so concerned about her daughter, which makes her even happier.
Liu Xiaoli asked with great interest: "What can she play?"
Yang Yedao: "First make a cameo in my movie "The Matrix"."
In "The Matrix" There is a little girl character. She is very special. She is a child born from the combination of two AIs.
Her existence means that the machine revolution has entered the category of intelligent creatures.
The difference between living things and machines is: living things can reproduce, but machines can only produce.
The little girl represents the final result of the machine revolution: the machine can finally complete the reproduction of the soul.
Although this little girl's role is very small, it is very important.
Yang Ye hopes to find a cute little girl to play the role, and Xiao Anfeng is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.
Being able to play a small role in Yang Ye's movie is already the dream of many people, and Liu Xiaoli naturally has no objection.
Yang Ye continued: "I will arrange a movie in the future for Xiaofeng to play the heroine."
"Playing the heroine? She is only eight years old!"
"This movie was tailor-made for Xiaofeng. It tells the story of a decadent middle-aged man and a little girl saving each other.< br>
I believe that Xiaofeng will become a well-known child star after the movie is released.”
Liu Xiaoli couldn’t help but be touched after hearing this.
A movie tailor-made by Yang Ye personally for her daughter.
Being able to plan the future for her daughter shows that she is very important in Yang Ye's mind.
Liu Xiaoli didn’t know that it was her daughter who held great weight in Yang Ye’s heart.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but lean on Yang Ye and said softly: "Husband, you are so kind!"
Yang Ye smiled calmly and said: "You are mine now, Xiaofeng is my daughter, we are a family.”
The couple showed their love in public, and Fang Yihua, who was not far away, felt unhappy.
Fang Yihua was sulking when Du Qifeng and Liu Hua walked in one after the other.
They walked straight to Yang Ye, and Liu Hua said, "Sorry Sir, we are late!"
"It's not late, it's on time, I just arrived early. , sit down and order something to eat. By the way, what do you do? Why will we come together?"
Du Qifeng said with a smile: "I just met Hua Zai at the door!"
After Du Qifeng sat down, he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yang Ye and Liu Xiaoli. , and poured another glass for himself and Liu Hua.
Although this guy has a bad temper and doesn't give anyone face, he has no temper at all in front of Yang Ye.
He used to be Yang Ye's younger brother, and worked with Yang Ye as a recorder for several years. It was Yang Ye who single-handedly promoted him to be a director. He was kind to him and was his boss.
Yang Ye never mentioned the fact that these two losers made a movie and went bankrupt, the company went bankrupt, and they owed a lot of debt. He introduced them: "This is Miss Liu, and this is... Yang Mi , is my daughter.”
Although Xiao Anfeng took Yang Ye’s surname as Yang, Yang Ye also named her Yang Mi in a playful way.
But Yang Ye always felt that this name was weird and he couldn't adapt to it, so he never called her and still called her Xiaofeng.
When she is alone, she calls her Sissi, but this name is unknown to outsiders, not even her mother.
In front of Du Qifeng and Liu Hua, Yang Ye still said the name Yang Mi in public. This was actually for Liu Xiaoli, which showed that he really regarded Xiao Anfeng as a Yang family member.
Since this little girl's surname is Yang, and Yang Ye personally admitted that she is his daughter, there is no doubt that the Miss Liu next to him is Yang Ye's woman.
The two people quickly took the initiative to introduce themselves to Liu Xiaoli: "Hello, Miss Liu, I am Du Qifeng."
"Hello, Miss Liu, hello, kid Yang Mi, I am Liu Hua!"< br>
Liu Xiaoli quickly stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with the two of them: "Mr. Du, Mr. Liu, hello, I have admired your name for a long time. I especially like to watch your movie "If There is Love". The power is amazing!"
Liu Xiaoli doesn’t know Johnnie To, but she still knows the name after watching "If There's Love".
As for Liu Hua, he is so famous, of course Liu Xiaoli knows him.
Hong Kong stars are very high-ranking in the mainland, but these two famous figures are very respectful in front of Yang Ye, which makes Liu Xiaoli feel honored.
After listening to her mother's words, Xiao Anfeng shouted obediently: "Hello, Uncle Du! Hello, Uncle Liu! Uncle Liu, I know you!"
Liu Hua smiled and said: "Really? Where did we meet?"
"On TV!"
Liu Hua laughed loudly and said to Yang Ye: "Sir, Sir, Your daughter is very cute and pretty, just like you!”
Yang Yexin said, just fuck it, how does she look like me? Even if you say she looks like her mother.
Although Liu Yifei doesn't look much like her mother, she looks more like her father.
However, Liu Hua has an all-round personality. He doesn't want to offend anyone and always wants to be a good guy, so he made a mess when he started his company.
Yang Ye took a sip of tea and started talking about business: "I called you two here today because I hope you can help me film a movie.
This drama was originally written by me and I filmed it together with my daughter, but I have too many things to do recently.
So I hope that Andy will play the leading role, Feng will be the director, and I will be the producer. ”
Yang Ye wrote and filmed a movie with his daughter? This is no small matter.
Du Qifeng and Liu Hua looked at each other and became cautious at the same time.
Yang Ye took out the script and handed it to the two of them, and they started reading it immediately.
This movie is roughly about a decadent middle-aged man who never interacts with others, making his neighbors suspicious of his identity.
But a girl named Xiaomi ignored these rumors and often visited this mysterious neighbor, and slowly they became friends.
Xiaomi's mother was involved in the gang's drug robbery, which ultimately put herself and Xiaomi in danger.
The uncle who witnessed Xiaomi and her mother being kidnapped began to fight against the underworld in order to rescue Xiaomi and her mother...
Gangster movies, handsome and stylish uncles are really suitable for Johnnie To and Liu Hua.
The two people immediately understood why Yang Ye was looking for them. He was helping them.
However, Yang Ye did not show kindness and only said that he was not free.
He even roped in his own daughter to film this movie!
In an instant, both of their eyes turned a little red.
The entertainment industry is the most powerful place in the world. During this period, both of them experienced company bankruptcy, debt, betrayal and separation. They felt the cruelty of time, but Yang Ye silently extended a helping hand...
The two of them had nothing to say, so they quickly accepted the script and said they would try their best.
Yang Ye didn't say much, just asked them to prepare well.
After seeing the two off, Yang Ye suddenly said to Liu Xiaoli: "Let's give Xiaofeng a stage name!"
When entering the entertainment industry, it is very common to choose a stage name. Liu Xiaoli did not doubt that he was there and said: "Okay, what is your name?"
"Just follow your surname Liu and call it Liu Yifei!" (End of chapter) )
