Chapter 50 Random Talk
The "Chinese Folk Song" concert had a profound impact on the Taiwanese music scene in later generations.
Since then, Taiwan has begun to shift from Western music to the creations of local contemporaries. Countless talented young people have been inspired to write music that suits the new era.
Because of the slogan "Sing your own song", these young people seemed to have a sense of mission, and they began to try to express their emotions in their own language and style.
The boundaries of songs have been expanded infinitely. Works of any subject matter and in any form can be widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as long as they are well written and sung well.
Many years later, the music king Milk Cha Lun recalled: "It was Yang Ye who started the folk song movement and returned the songs of an era to the hands of young people. He is my eternal idol."
… …
After the Taiwan concert, newspapers and television stations in Taiwan sent interview requests to Yang Ye. Yang Ye refused all of them and returned to Hong Kong in a hurry.
Because he knows that in a week, the bald man will be GG.
The death of Baldhead will definitely cause political turmoil, so it is better to avoid it.
Back in Hong Kong, Yang Ye's life is very comfortable. Every day he goes on dates with Zhao Yazhi, boxing with Pope Yugui, and occasionally visits the crew of "Drunken Master". When he comes back, he plays a guest role as a driver to pick up Zhou Huimin from school.
The film company is making a movie now, and basically there is nothing wrong with it. Yang Ye sits in the office every day and draws the storyboard of the next movie.
The notice for recruiting assistants has been posted, and several people have been interviewed, but none of them were satisfied.
Zou Wenhuai invited Yang Ye over and asked him about his new film plan. Yang Ye refused and said that he hadn't thought about it yet, so he talked to Zou Wenhuai about the share of "Drunken Master".
Yang Ye's own theater chain won't be built for a while, so new films will have to rely on Jiahe's theater chain.
Yang Ye can't fall out with Jiahe yet, so he doesn't even mention the fact that Jiahe made millions at the box office by re-released "Shaolin Temple" but didn't give him half a dime.
Yang Ye said: "Although I did not star in "Drunken Master" personally, I personally designed all the plots of the movie. It is definitely a refreshing Kung Fu blockbuster."
Zou Wenhuaixiao Said: "Aye, I still believe in your ability. When is this movie going to be released?"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "We will probably finish filming at the end of May, and it will take half a month to finish. Later. So I hope it can be released during the summer vacation."
Zou Wenhuai frowned and said: "The Xu brothers' new film is also scheduled to be released during the summer vacation."
"In what month are they preparing for it?"
"August!"
"Then Drunken Master is in July, is that no problem?"
"Of course there is no problem . ”
“Baiyang Films invested and filmed this movie ourselves, so I would like to discuss with you about the box office share. My idea is that the city and Nanyang Jiahe will distribute it, and Baiyang will take 30%. As for Nippon, since I have signed an agreement with Kadokawa Pictures, the film will be distributed by them.”
Zou Wenhuai actually didn't take "Drunken Master" very seriously. The starring role in this movie was Chen Long, a martial artist who debuted as a dragon and tiger martial artist. He had acted in several movies before and all of them were blockbusters. One is Yuan Xiaotian, who has been absent for many years. Both of them are not well-known. The most famous one is Zhao Yazhi, who became famous because of "Shaolin Temple".
But Zhao Yazhi became famous because of Yang Ye. Without Yang Ye, she is nothing. Everyone watches kung fu movies because of the kung fu, and the beautiful women are just embellishments.
Zou Wenhuai is interested in Yang Ye's new film, but Yang Ye is a very thief, tight-lipped, and refuses to reveal a word.
The meaning is obvious. You Jiahe first agreed to the share plan for "Drunken Master", and then we will discuss the plan for the new film.
He Guanchang asked: "What about South Korea?"
Yang Ye said: "South Korea is also handed over to Jiahe for distribution."
Now South Korea has not yet produced the "Miracle on the Han River". The poor, Koreans who cannot survive often run to North Korea. This is the so-called "exodus" Southerner".
There is no oil or water in this poor place at all, so Yang Ye doesn't care much.
Zou Wenhuai acted very grandly. Since the target was Yang Ye's new film, he didn't care about the gains and losses of "Drunken Master".
After all, Yang Ye’s "Shaolin Temple" made Jiahe very profitable.
Now Yang Ye's fame is much greater than before, and he is already regarded as a national hero by many people.
How will the box office reach if he makes a new film?
I can’t imagine it!
Yang Ye and Jiahe signed the screening contract for "Drunken Master" but still did not let go.
I just said that this time it will be a super big cast, but it is useless to say more until things are clear. After Yang Ye left, Zou Wenhuai said in confusion: "Aye said that this time it will be a super big cast, but he himself is already the biggest movie star among Chinese people. How big can this cast be?"
He Guanchang was also a little confused. After thinking for a while, he said: "Does he want to invite a Hollywood star? Who can he invite? Marlon Brando?"
......
Yang Ye returned to the company, and Xiaoli at the front desk told him that there was a Miss Hu waiting for him.
Yang Ye went to the reception room and saw Hu Yinmeng sitting there drinking coffee.
Yang Ye asked: "Why did you come to Hong Kong? Isn't there a funeral in Taiwan?"
Hu Yinmeng curled his lips: "What does it have to do with me if he dies? Now Taiwan prohibits all entertainment activities, I I had no choice but to run out and play.”
“No, shouldn’t you go to the United States to get married?”
“I don’t want to go.”
“Why? Isn’t your blind date a rich man? It would be great to marry him and become a young lady!”
"Do you know why I dropped out of college?"
"Why?"
"Because I don't miss it anymore!"
Yang Ye gave a thumbs up, like Said: "Willful!"
"When I was admitted to Fu Jen Catholic University, my mother almost set off firecrackers. But I refused to study after two years, and she was so angry. Later she introduced me to I had two jobs, but I gave them up after only a few days, which made her even more angry.
She said, since you are unwilling to do anything, why not give you a blind date and get married. It happened that my uncle wrote from Japan, saying that he wanted to propose marriage to me, and the other party was the only son of a shipping magnate. I thought it would be nice to marry and be a young mistress, so I agreed. "
"Then you regret it now? "
Hu Yinmeng did not answer, but asked: "Last time you said that if you make a movie, you would ask me to be the heroine. Does that count? "
"Ah this..."
"You didn't just say it casually, did you? ”
"Yes!"
Hu Yinmeng was speechless for a moment. She never expected that Yang Ye would admit it so shamelessly. You have to cover it up at least, right? How do you ask me to step down like this?
But Yang Ye didn’t want to offend her. Her father was a gangster in Taipei, and Yang Ye had to go to Taipei to sell tickets.
Yang Ye said: "Your temperament is more literary and artistic. Our company only shoots kung fu movies about fighting and killing, which are not suitable for you. If you want to be an actor, I suggest you stay in Taiwan to develop. Your The conditions are not inferior to those of Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, so they should be quite promising."
Hu Yinmeng said: "Taiwan only makes some boring three-room movies, which are not interesting."
At this time, the kings of Taiwanese films were Qiong Yao and Liu Jiachang.
In their movies, the actors basically go back and forth between the living room and the dining room. If they want to go out, they go to the coffee shop. That’s why it’s called a three-room movie!
Liu Jiachang will compose the music and Qiong Yao will write the lyrics. The end of the movie is usually accompanied by a bad song written by them, and then a montage technique is used to make the hero and heroine stroll on the white-capped beach, and it’s done!
This kind of film is low-cost and takes a short time to shoot. Liu Jiachang once shot a movie in only three days.
Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao are representatives of this kind of movie. At her peak, Lin Qingxia made twelve movies a year, and Lin Fengjiao even made fourteen movies a year.
In fact, Hu Yinmeng is no less generous. If she follows her original life trajectory, she will go to the United States this year, then return to Taiwan next year, and make ten movies a year.
Yang Ye said with a smile: "You came to me, probably not for the purpose of being a heroine, right?"
Hu Yinmeng was naturally not stupid enough to say anything to Yang Ye casually. She took her words seriously. She was a little unhappy with Yang Yelao asking her about her marriage, so she asked this deliberately.
She just wanted to see how Yang Ye couldn't answer, because Yang Ye did say this, so he couldn't deny it to his face, right? If you don't deny it, you can't treat her as the protagonist, you can only be frustrated.
Who would have thought that Yang Ye admitted in a very bachelor manner that he was just joking, and Hu Yinmeng himself was the one who couldn't get off the stage.
In fact, she didn't even know why Hu Yinmeng came to Hong Kong to find Yang Ye. She just subconsciously found him after arriving in Hong Kong.
Hu Yin dreamed for a while and suddenly said: "Aren't you recruiting assistants? I'll apply!"
