The 17-year-old Ayumi Hamasaki, who has yellow hair on his head and looks like a killer, is sitting at Yang Ye's desk, looking a little uneasy.
"I heard that you often miss classes?"
"Occasionally!" Hamasaki played with his fingers and lowered his head.
"Why are you absent from school?"
"Those vocal music classes are very boring, and the dance classes are very tiring. The teachers are very strict, and... I am not good at Chinese and English, so I can't understand them."
Yang Ye looked at the information in his hand: "You are on the verge of being eliminated every time, but you just happen to keep from being eliminated. Is this intentional?"
"No, I have worked very hard!"
“You work so hard but you still miss class?”
"I... don't understand!" Hamasaki raised his head and said aggrievedly.
Yang Ye wanted to teach her a stern lesson, but unfortunately he had two dark circles under his eyes and looked very funny, so he couldn't be stern.
Yang Ye sighed and said, "I have read all the letters you wrote to me."
"Huh?" Hamasaki blushed immediately.
Two years ago, Yang Ye brought her to Hong Kong because he saw Ayumi Hamasaki's performance in a TV series and thought she had the potential to become a star.
Then he took her to watch the The Voice concert at the Coliseum that year. On that day, Hamasaki met Li Wen who was high-spirited on the stage.
Li Wen had dyed blond hair and wore gorgeous costumes. He sang and danced on the stage. He was so coquettish and sexy that tens of thousands of spectators went crazy for him.
Yang Ye told Hamasaki that this girl was unknown six months ago, but now she has become the focus of attention.
At that moment, she knew what it felt like to realize a dream, and she wanted to be like Li Wen.
But it only caught fire for a moment, and soon it took three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
Because Ayumi Hamasaki's situation is a little different from those girls who were brought to Hong Kong by Yang Ye in the past.
Nakamori Akina came with Yamaguchi Momoe, and became her teacher, and Zhou Huimin and others were her playmates.
Later Shizuka Kudo and Yuki Amami, Izumi Sakai and Nanase Aikawa all came together as a team.
They all had someone to rely on in Hong Kong, but Hamasaki came to Hong Kong alone, without even a companion to talk to.
She was alone in a strange Hong Kong, unfamiliar with the place, didn't understand the language, and had no friends, so she was very depressed.
In addition, her personality was quite rebellious, and she once wanted to give up and go back to Japan.
When those Japanese chicks came to Hong Kong in the past, Yang Ye would occasionally visit them.
But the past two years have been much busier than before, and he has no time to pay attention to Hamasaki Ayumi.
It was only after I heard that Ayumi Hamasaki wanted to leave that I called her and encouraged her.
He also left his email address so that she could write to him if she was worried.
However, Ayumi Hamasaki wrote many letters to Yang Ye, but Yang Ye never replied to any of them.
Hamasaki Ayumi thought that Yang Ye might have never read the letter she wrote. The so-called asking her to write a letter was simply a lie.
Later, he used the mailbox as a tree hole, and wrote all his girl's worries in the letter and poured it out. Yang Ye wouldn't read it anyway.
She didn't expect that Yang Ye had seen them all. This... was really embarrassing.
In an instant, Hamasaki wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Then...why don't you reply to me."
"I think you may have regarded it as a tree hole. It would actually be better not to respond. Moreover, what you wrote is about girls' worries. I really don't know how to answer, so I can only remain silent."
The term "tree hole" comes from a well-known Japanese fairy tale, and Hamasaki naturally knows what it means.
"Okay!" Hamasaki thought for a while, but he didn't say anything too outrageous, he just complained about some troubles.
"Then why are you telling me now?"
"I find your writing is good. Have you ever thought about composing your own songs?"
"Can I?"
Yang Ye's suggestion made Hamasaki feel flattered and a little uneasy because she didn't know if she could do it.
Yang Ye encouraged: "Although you often skip classes and are not a good student, you have completed the training course and the company has decided to let you debut.
I think since you have a creative talent, you might as well give it a try and write lyrics for your own debut album. ”
"I..." Hamasaki didn't want to admit that he couldn't do it, so he finally nodded and said: "I will definitely work hard!"
She said, stood up from the chair and bowed to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye clenched his fist, waved it in front of her, and said with a smile: "Daddy!"
Almost all of Hamasaki's songs are composed by herself.
Her early lyrics fully revealed the inner emotions of a girl, singing the voices of her peers, which aroused great resonance among Japanese female high school students, which made her a new leader believed in by Japanese female high school students at that time.
So Yang Ye didn't want to do it for her, and planned to throw her a bunch of songs and let her write the lyrics herself.
In fact, Ayumi Hamasaki is also very talented in composing. She has a puppy named Gaea. All songs signed by Gaea are composed by her herself.
"I called you here today, and there is one more thing. I plan to make a movie, and I want you to be the heroine. Are you willing?"
"Dang dang dang dang... heroine?"
Everyone in Ayumi Hamasaki is stupid!
Yang Ye wants to support her debut and let her write lyrics for the new album. It is already a surprise enough. Is there an even bigger surprise here?
That was the heroine of Yang Ye's movie. How many people dreamed of it, but it actually happened to her.
"I, I, I...I do!"
The little girl nodded fiercely. Yang Ye was not surprised by her reaction and said with a smile: "The director will come over later and let's chat together."
Hamasaki was stunned: "Aren't you the director?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "As you know, I previously selected some Japanese singers to train in Hong Kong, and later sent them back to Japan.
Each of their debuts were very gimmicky and exciting. Now it's your turn to debut, so I thought, what gimmick are you going to use?
After much thought, I decided to make a movie with you as the heroine. As for the script, I customized it for you.
But I'm quite busy, so I plan to hire another director, but I will star in this movie with you. ”
Ayumi Hamasaki is very smart and immediately understood what this meant.
Letting her be the heroine in a movie is actually not a big gimmick.
But acting in a movie with superstar Yang Ye and being the heroine can be called a gimmick.
As soon as the movie is released, people will immediately recognize her and the three words Ayumi Hamasaki.
At this time, Hamasaki was really flattered to the point of being extremely flattered.
Yang Ye tailor-made the script for her, let her be the heroine, and starred with her, my God...
Ayumi Hamasaki felt that his heart was beating continuously, his cheeks were burning hot, and he was so happy that he almost fainted.
In fact, after Yang Ye finished filming "The Matrix", he will no longer star in movies, but he has not officially announced his retirement.
He plans to use the gimmick of stopping the movie when "The Matrix 3" is released to boost the box office.
So appearing on the scene to praise Ayumi Hamasaki this time is not considered a broken promise.
After a while, the secretary called Yang Ye and told Yang Ye that the person he was looking for had arrived.
"Let him come in!" Yang Ye said, putting down the phone.
Ayumi Hamasaki turned his head curiously, and saw the door being pushed open, and a dwarf-like man, less than 1.5 meters tall, walked in.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Yang Ye introduced Ayumi Hamasaki: "This is the famous Hong Kong director, Mr. Teddy Robin!"
Then he introduced Teddy Robin: "This is Ms. Hamasaki Ayumi from Japan."
Hamasaki stood up politely and bowed: "Hello, Mr. Teddy!"
Ayumi Hamasaki called him Mr. Teddy, and Yang Ye wanted to laugh inexplicably. This guy was small and often played some very vulgar roles. He really looked like a Teddy.
"Hello, you are very cute!" Teddy Robin shook hands with Hamasaki.
"Thank you!"
Yang Ye said seriously: "Apeng, I heard that you plan to take over the mountain?"
Teddy Robin said helplessly: "I don't want to take over the mountains. The market is in a slump right now. There are so few crews starting work and they can't find investment. It's no good if we don't take over the mountains." "I thought you had made enough. ?”
"If you come out to fish, who would think it's too much money?"
"I came to you because I want you to help me film a movie."
Teddy Robin's eyes lit up: "What show?"
Yang Ye picked up the script on the table and handed it to Teddy Robin, and gave another copy to Hamasaki, saying: "This play is tailor-made for Miss Hamasaki.
It will be filmed in Japan, starring the three of us. I am a Hong Kong policeman, and you are my old partner in Japan.
When I was on official duty in Japan, I fell in love with a Japanese woman named Keiko.
Later, Keiko left without saying goodbye, and I returned to Hong Kong alone, but I have never forgotten this relationship.
Until one day, a phone call from Japan told me that Keiko passed away due to cancer, and I became the heir to her $200 million inheritance.
She also told me that we have a daughter, and she asked me to take good care of her daughter. This daughter is played by Miss Hamasaki.
So, I set off for Japan to receive the inheritance and get to know my daughter, but I found that Keiko’s death was not that simple.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
When she left me, she had other secrets, so I started investigating and avenging her..."
Teddy Robin was shocked when he heard that a Chinese had a love affair in Japan.
More than ten years later, his old lover left him an inheritance of US$200 million and such a beautiful daughter.
He went to Japan to receive his inheritance and daughter, and also killed a group of Japanese people... What a cool plot this is!
Ayumi Hamasaki turned over the script and said: "Hey, don't you play a couple?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "It's not a couple, it's a father and daughter. Yamaguchi Momoe will also appear in this movie, and she will play your mother."
"Shan...Momoe Yamaguchi?"
Ayumi Hamasaki was really shocked this time and was speechless. He didn't know what to say at all.
Although Yamaguchi Momoe has retired long ago, she has become a legend in Japan. She actually appeared in this movie dedicated to praising herself and played her own mother.
If this movie is released in Japan...
It turns out that the stunt Yang Ye mentioned was not that he acted with himself in person, but that Momoe Yamaguchi appeared.
For the Japanese, this...is the ultimate gimmick!
Teddy Robin suddenly realized: "No wonder she's called Keiko. It turns out that she was cast by Momoe Yamaguchi. Sir, no one in this world can let her appear in front of the camera again except you!"
Yang Ye said; "Bai Hui only appears in one scene. Apeng, I'm going to the United States next, and I'll leave the preparations for this drama to you. You will be the director, and the filming will start when I come back from the United States."
"OK!" Teddy Robin readily accepted the task. He did not talk about money. As everyone knows, Yang Ye never treats anyone badly when it comes to money.
"You are so kind to me!"
With tears in his eyes, Hamasaki bowed fiercely to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye had done so much for her debut, and she really didn't know how to express her gratitude.
At the same time, she also felt that Alexander, if she did not perform well and messed up, she would not know how to face it.
Yang Ye touched Hamasaki Ayumi's head and said dotingly: "Don't be stressed, just deal with it seriously. I'll memorize the script before I come back."
"Yeah!" Hamasaki wiped her tears, she was really touched.
……
In late November, Yang Ye arrived in Los Angeles.
Also accompanying him were the film's other two stars, Ti Lung and Jet Li.
As for the heroine Lin Qingxia, she is busy playing mahjong and her daughter's final exam.
Regarding this premiere, Yang Ye invited quite a few Hollywood celebrities to attend.
In addition to the main creative staff of the film, there are also his partners Robert Shea, Whitey Dana, and Shirley Lansing.
There are also Adjani mother and daughter, Michael Jackson brother and sister, and Tom Cruise and his wife.
Schwarzenegger, Stallone, black singer Whitney Houston, North America's most sexy Madonna, and Hollywood actress Jodie Foster.
Great directors Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, etc.
As well as French actress Sophie Marceau and Japanese god-level idol Seiko Matsuda who were hanging out in Hollywood during this time.
It can be said that it is a gathering of superstars, which naturally attracts countless media to come for interviews and reports.
In addition, the "Spice Girls" who just debuted with the theme song "Reflection" of the animated film "Mulan" were also invited to participate.
With the movie being released around the world, they have also gained a certain amount of fame and are about to release their debut album "Spice".
……
The premiere was divided into two parts. The first part was Yang Ye leaving handprints and footprints at the entrance of the Chinese Theater.
There are two things that are very honorable in Hollywood: leaving your hand and footprints at the door of the Chinese Theater and leaving your name on the Walk of Fame.
The difference between the two is: the Avenue of Stars is officially run and divided into five categories: film, television, music, radio and drama.
The person who gets the stars depends on his or her status, and the stars that are obtained by different statuses are also different.
If you're good enough, you can theoretically get five kinds of stars.
Thousands of people have received stars, and dozens more are added every year.
Because it is a big road, it can go on forever.
Leaving handprints and footprints in the Chinese Theater was done privately by the theater owner.
It appeared as early as 1927, decades before the Walk of Fame.
Due to the limited space, only the top celebrities in Hollywood were able to leave their mark on the square, and there were only more than 200 people in total.
If you don't have good qualifications, you will get sprayed if you leave a seal.
In 1992, Tom Cruise was sprayed badly when he made a mark at the Chinese Theater.
People think this guy is so virtuous that he puts his name next to Marilyn Monroe?
However, after the turn of the millennium, printing has become a very commercial activity.
Theoretically, as long as you are willing to pay $15,000, you can have a handprint and footprints ceremony at the entrance of the Chinese Theater.
Many movies leave handprints and footprints when they are promoted in Chinese theaters.
Even movie props like Harry Potter’s magic wand.
Virtual characters, such as Snoop Dog, Optimus Prime, etc., can also leave marks.
During the filming of the Chinese movie "Hollywood Rampage" in the United States, the two leading actors Zhao Yanzi and Huang Xiaoming also left their hand and footprints at the Chinese Theater.
At that time, a press release was issued in China, which vigorously publicized the matter.
Many domestic celebrities have left messages expressing envy and saying they are awesome.
In fact, they spent money to pull off a stunt in front of the Chinese Theater.
The cement board where their hand and footprints were left will not be embedded in the square of the Chinese Theater. Fans will not be able to find it if they look for it.
Not only them, the marks left by non-film superstars like Kobe and Britney will not be placed in the square.
A thousand years ago, Chen Long was the only Chinese person who had left a seal on the Eight Classics.
Chen Long's hand and footprints were even stolen by a fan, who later left them again and had his big nose imprinted on them.
With Yang Ye's influence, the handprints and footprints he left were confirmed to be inlaid in the square. Otherwise, he would not bother to print them.
Therefore, he surpassed Chen Long and became the first Chinese to leave his mark in the Chinese Theater.
Yang Ye knelt down on the red carpet, signed his name on the cement board, then stretched out his hands and smiled at the camera.
"Click! Click..."
Countless flashlights lit up, and under the spotlight, he pressed his fingerprints on the concrete slab.
Then, he stepped on it twice with his big leather shoes, leaving footprints.
The sealing ceremony was successfully completed, and a large group of superstars and big names witnessed the sealing ceremony.
Even in their eyes, this was a very honorable thing, and they all cast envious glances at Yang Ye.
Yang Xi, Li Wen, and the other hot girls from the Spice Girls Group all had expressions of admiration on their faces. (End of chapter)
