During Hong Kong's Christmas season in 1994, Yang Ye's "The Matrix" took the cake, grossing HK$63 million, leaving other films far behind.
This result set a new box office record in Hong Kong and became the third movie to be released in Hong Kong with a box office of over 60 million.
Compared with the miracles created by Yang Ye, other movies are gloomy and bleak.
After Wang Jing's "Heaven Slays the Dragon: The Demon Cult Master" flopped at the box office, he originally didn't plan to film it again.
But Yang Ye wanted to watch "I'm Waiting for You in Dadu", so he took the copyright back and invested in the second one.
Yang Ye was willing to pay, and he didn't care whether he would get his money back. He was so willful, so Wang Jing let go and made a second film.
Under Wang Jing's adaptation, Zhang Wuji continued the sinister character in "The Master of the Demon Cult".
In the original work, Zhang Wuji is indecisive between Minmin and Zhiruo, but in this version... I want them all!
Wang Jing’s adaptation was completely customized for Yang Ye according to his wishes.
The movie was released a week before "The Matrix", with a box office of more than 14 million in Hong Kong, which was actually several million more than the first film.
This surprised Wang Jing. He thought it would be less than 10 million.
Including overseas income, not to mention making money, there is no problem in maintaining capital.
Wang Jing is really convinced!
Everyone, including Wang Jing himself, thought that the project would be a loss, but Yang Ye actually managed to save capital after taking it over. Could it be that he is really the reincarnation of Ziweixing?
Although the box office is not high, it is already the second best performance during this year's Christmas period.
The other movie, "Three Boys in Love" produced by Yonggao, had a box office of less than 10 million.
"The Fall of Hong Kong" produced by Jingyi and directed by Qian Wenqi, Wang Jing's apprentice, had a box office of less than 5 million.
This is a Category III film, and the original heroines were Ye Yuqing and Qiu Shuzhen.
Qiu Shuzhen followed Yang Ye, so it was naturally impossible to make this kind of film. Wang Jing actually fooled Christy Chung.
Although she is not exposed, she is probably going to be there soon. Christy Chung is a ghost girl who grew up abroad and is very open-minded. Her later films "Midnight Girl" and "Lust, Caution" were very popular!
Another movie, "The Stranger" written by Huang Baiming, only had a box office of more than 2 million, which was regarded as the Waterloo of his screenwriting career.
This year's "Red Rose and White Rose", which swept the Golden Horse Awards and won the Best Actress Award for Chen Chong, only had a box office of just over one million in Hong Kong.
Such a poor result makes people wonder what the deserted Christmas season would be like this year without Yang Ye.
Under this situation, Hong Kong’s theaters are also in a state of ice and fire.
The theaters that have joined the theater chain alliance are naturally very happy. With Yang Ye's thigh, they don't have to worry about making money.
Both Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers theater chains relied on Yang Ye to make money. They were not happy with the stock exchange back then, but now it seems that they have made money at all.
The bosses of the two companies are now polite when they see Yang Ye, even Fang Yihua maintains his outward politeness.
Some theaters that have not joined the theater chain alliance are in trouble. During the great holiday, the theaters are empty.
Some people began to think of ways to join the cinema alliance, even at the expense of concessions and even bribes.
The theater chain alliance has strict requirements for the theaters it joins, and not just any cat or dog can come in.
During the heyday of Hong Kong films, theaters sprouted up like mushrooms after a rain, and at one time the number soared to more than 200.
The theater chain alliance has less than 100 participating theaters, not even half of them.
Due to the prosperity of Hong Kong films, these theaters can live well without joining the franchise.
Many theaters don’t want to join the franchise at all because they have to pay money to join.
But now, if we can’t squeeze in, we have no choice but to close down.
So, at the end of 1994, when "The Matrix" was booming at the box office, a wave of theater closures suddenly appeared in Hong Kong.
It didn’t take long for many people to join the show, because Hong Kong films only reached their peak in 1993, and who knew they would decline within a year.
Opening a movie theater is a big investment, and many people lose everything.
Why do you see the market is so hot, and then you want to squeeze in to get a piece of the pie? This is the only way it will end.
It is cheaper than those selling equipment.
...
A few days later, ATV’s New Year’s Eve concert.
Tickets for the Coliseum were sold out half a month ago, and more people chose to watch at home.
Yang Ji has produced a large number of singers in recent years. The annual New Year's Eve concert is like a record company's team building, which is very lively.
This year’s New Year’s Eve concert, the Four Heavenly Kings, Zhou Huajian, Qi Yu Qi Qin, Ren Xianqi, Wang Fei, Yang Yuying, Mok Wenwei, Li Wen, Tai Ziji... more than 40 singers lined up , the lineup is very strong.
Yang Ye has not appeared on stage for many years, but he recently sang a song "BJ Night" at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Later, the media said that it was written by him while picking up girls in Beijing.
Music critics gave this song high praise, saying that it is a model of the combination of Eastern Peking Opera and Western rock, classical and modern.
Afterwards, the audience frantically called ATV’s hotline, asking Yang Ye to sing this song at the New Year’s Eve concert.
Yang Ye hasn’t pampered fans for a long time and decided to meet their requests.
When Yang Ye released the studio version of "BJ Night", he invited Liu Jiahui, the original female vocalist, to record it. She is a Rolling Stone herself.
But Yang Ye took the opportunity to invite her to perform on stage at the New Year's Eve concert, but she refused.
Liu Jiahui is a very interesting person. She doesn’t like to be famous and just wants to be behind the scenes.
The only album the Rolling Stones gave her was to release. Later, when they wanted to release a second album, she refused to do so.
Rolling Stone gave Rene Liu the album they planned to release for her, and one of the songs, "Crazy for Love," made Milk Tea an instant hit.
Since Liu Jiahui refused to come, Yang Ye asked Yang Yuying to come and join him on stage.
Before the concert, Yang Yuying returned to Hong Kong early and rehearsed with Yang Ye.
When Yang Yuying saw Yang Ye, she was like a rainbow fart.
"Teacher, "The Matrix" is so good, you are really super handsome! Super super handsome!"
"Where did you watch it?"
"In In Beijing, together with Brother Lang, Sister Pan Qian, and many friends, we booked the venue to watch it.”
"Huh, you guys have a good relationship!"
"Of course, me, Brother Lang, Huilun, and Xiaohui, the four of us often keep in touch with each other."
"How did we keep in touch? ?”
“Let’s play mahjong!”
“Ah, the four of you are on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and you are so far away from each other. You actually get together to play mahjong all the time. It’s so free... What a deep feeling! ”
"Of course!" Yang Yuying said happily, but suddenly she felt something was wrong, "Salty eggs?"
Yang Yuying had never heard of the phrase "I am so idle that my eggs hurt," because it was an Internet word from later generations.
Yang Ye couldn't explain it. After all, she was a girl. He changed the topic and said, "What did you say on the phone last time?"
"I'll eat with you. I'll do it." When we arrived, we agreed with Huilun and Xiaohui that we would meet at the typhoon shelter tonight. "
"I have no problem. Aren't you afraid of killing Huilun and Xiaohui?"
< br>
"They really like to eat it. It's so spicy that they shed tears while eating it."
"This reminds me of Xiaoxian. She even takes anti-allergy medicine to eat crabs."
When Yang Ye talked about Wang Zuxian, his heart ached a little.
Yang Ye had too many women. He wandered among flowers and had no fixed abode. Wang Zuxian didn't want to stay in the dark with him, so he slowly faded out of the entertainment industry and left Hong Kong. In the past year, Yang Ye had been staying in Shenzhen to film "The Matrix". Wang Zuxian left quietly without even saying goodbye. By the time Yang Ye thought of her, she had disappeared without a trace.
If it was ten years ago, Yang Ye would definitely get her back, but now he feels that it is not a bad thing for her to leave him.
What can I give her?
Money? She has long been in need.
Name? She already had it.
Love? She didn't want the love she shared with dozens of women.
In the end, Yang Ye gave up the idea of finding her and let it happen.
Although Yang Ye has already investigated clearly where she is.
When Yang Yuying saw Yang Ye suddenly became silent, she thought she had said something wrong, but Yang Ye quickly returned to normal: "Let's start the rehearsal!"
"Okay! ”
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#, please go to 69书Bar to read it!
The two prepared for a while, and Yang Yuying took up her stance and sang in a high-pitched voice: "I don't want to ask you anymore, where are you? I don't want to think about it anymore, can you come back? I'm thinking about you, thinking about you." I want to hold my face in my chest, and I won’t let it go if I can...”
As soon as Yang Yuying opened her voice, the lyrics inexplicably touched Yang Ye’s heart.
In this life, he was really happy when he was happy, and he was really evil when he committed crimes.
......
After rehearsing, Yang Ye and Yang Yuying drove to the Typhoon Shelter Restaurant in Kowloon, where Liu Xiaohui and Su Huilun were already waiting.
As soon as the two of them saw Yang Ye, they stepped forward and called the teacher affectionately.
Accompanied by three beautiful girls, Yang Ye felt much better and said with a smile: "Long time no see, long time no see."
The two female students also had a burst of rainbow farts, Liu Xiaohui Said: "I miss you so much. Yesterday I invited friends to go to the cinema to see you."
"How do you feel?"
"It's so cool! What? Is it time for a sequel?”
"Next year!"
"Isn't the sequel even more exciting?"
The four of them walked into a private room that had been reserved in advance while talking and laughing, and were suddenly greeted by a man in the corridor. The young man stopped.
The man ignored Yang Ye and said to Yang Yuying with a look of surprise: "Gang Gang, what a coincidence, you come here to eat too!"
Yang Yuying said speechlessly: "Mr. Lai , you know that this is not a coincidence.”
The young man laughed, not embarrassed at all, and said: "You are so smart. I do know that you are eating here and came here to wait for you. Why don't you let me be the host today!"
Su Huilun and Liu Xiaohui looked at Yang Yuying with curiosity, wanting to know who this man was. He was really thick-skinned.
Yang Yuying said helplessly: "No need, I have a gathering with my teachers and sisters today, please don't disturb me, thank you!"
The young man then looked at Yang Ye, He looked at Su Huilun and Liu Xiaohui next to Yang Ye. They were both beauties, but he only had Yang Yuying in his eyes.
He still knew Yang Ye, not to mention Yang Yuying’s teacher. He stretched out a hand and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Lai Wenfeng, the general manager of the Fireworks Group. I am your fan. , I have loved watching your movies since I was a child.”
Yang Ye ignored this guy, pulled Yang Yuying past him, entered the box, and ignored him.
No matter how high you are, you are worthy of shaking hands with me.
Lai Wenfeng felt insulted and wanted to catch up, but Yang Ye's bodyguard had appeared and stopped him.
The four of them entered the box. Su Huilun and Liu Xiaohui, two curious babies, immediately asked: "Gang Gang, who is that person?"
Yang Yuying said with a bitter face; "He just Didn’t you introduce yourself before?”
Liu Xiaohui said: "You are the general manager of some group. He is young and promising. Is he pursuing you?"
Yang Yuying nodded helplessly.
Su Huilun said: "He is so thick-skinned. You exposed him and he was not angry at all."
Yang Ye frowned and said: "Didn't I tell you to stay away from this kid? Stay away? "
As soon as Yang Ye spoke, Su Huilun and Liu Xiaohui were stunned.
The three of them are each other's best friends, but they don't know that Yang Yuying is being pursued by this young man.
And Yang Ye not only knew about it, but also seemed to be involved in it.
Yang Yuying said helplessly: "I didn't dare to provoke him, but he just stuck to me. He later gave me gifts, but I didn't dare to accept them..."
Yang Yuying's summary After reading it again, the writing style of this letter is really bold and arrogant.
In order to pick up girls, he did a trick of hitting six Mercedes-Benz cars in a row on the first day to attract Yang Yuying's attention.
In the evening, I gave another piece of fine jade.
A few days later, Yang Yuying’s concert opened, and he presented a flower basket.
What kind of flower basket? A flower basket made of 800,000 soft girl coins.
Yang Yuying was on a nationwide tour, so they organized a motorcade and brought a group of friends with them to chase her from Xiamen to Chengdu to support Yang Yuying.
Every time I go to a place, I will definitely buy the most expensive tickets in the front row, and I will always pay for the entire audience’s consumption. The main focus is on the ability to pay one dollar!
After Yang Yuying finished speaking, Liu Xiaohui sighed; "He is so infatuated!"
Su Huilun also sighed: "He loves you very much!"
Yang Ye glared at the two women. Seeing that Yang Ye was unhappy, he immediately felt that this matter was not simple and chose to shut up.
At this time, the unique typhoon shelter dishes were served.
Yang Ye picked up a rich shrimp, peeled off the shell, took a bite, and asked casually: "Are you tempted?"
"I..." Yang Yuying wanted to deny it, but she was really moved in her heart, so she didn't say it out loud.
"As the saying goes, a martyr girl is afraid of stalking her husband. If he stalks you like this and throws money at you like crazy, it's normal for you to be tempted. It's nothing."
Yang Yuying said helplessly: "I... ...I don’t know what to do.”
Yang Ye sighed and said, “Ordinarily, this guy is right. You are good, but what he is doing now is seeking his own death. I can't let you be a widow. Let me handle this matter!"
Yang Yuying is still a young girl, Yang. Ye Que said what he said about being a widow. He couldn't help but blush and said coyly: "What? It's so unpleasant to hear."
Su Huilun and Liu Xiaohui were even more confused after hearing this. Why did they mention being widowed?
Is that writing style really going to die? Will Yang Yuying become a widow if she marries him?
How did Yang Ye know? Could it be that he is really the reincarnation of Ziweixing?
Yang Yuying explained to the two sisters: "The teacher has investigated the writing style. He is engaged in smuggling, smuggling cars, oil and other materials from Hong Kong to the mainland. The amount is extremely large, that's why he is so rich. "
The two were shocked and said quickly: "Then stay away from him!"
Yang Yexin said, you two are not parties involved.
The thoughts of men and women are indeed different. Even a heinous bastard can still impress a woman to the core as long as he is handsome and treats a woman well.
In later generations, there was a very popular Internet article about a woman whose boyfriend was a drug police officer and was killed by a drug dealer.
She lurked next to the drug dealer and wanted to avenge her boyfriend, but she fell in love with the drug dealer.
Yang Ye was completely shocked by this kind of plot, but this thing actually became popular on the Internet and was crazily pursued by countless little girls. (End of chapter)
