Chapter 57 Super Big Cast
Haruki Kadokawa is very interested in Yang Ye’s script, because this script does not just promote hatred. The Japanese people in the script are both good and bad, and their images are full.
With such a plot coupled with Yang Ye’s explosive popularity and unrivaled kung fu, Kadokawa Haruki felt like he was already counting his money.
Now that Yang Ye has chosen Momoe Yamaguchi as the heroine, it is an even stronger alliance.
Momoe Yamaguchi is the most popular female star in Japanese history. A prolific performer in movies, TV shows, and singers, she debuted at the age of 13, dominated the world at the age of 21, then retired to marry, raise her husband and raise her children, which is a legend.
The Japanese entertainment industry in the 1970s was dominated by Yamaguchi Momoe, and everyone else stepped aside.
Singing, her record sales are far ahead of her contemporaries, and she is the finale of the Red and White Song Festival (Japanese Spring Festival Gala) every year.
Movies, in her eight-year career, she starred in 12 movies, all of which entered the top ten at the Japanese box office.
TV dramas, each one has received explosive ratings. Four years after she retired, the TV series "Blood Suspicion" starring in her was introduced to mainland China and immediately sold out.
Momoe Yamaguchi has become a super idol in China. People have the same hairstyle as her, which is called "Sachiko Hair". Wearing the same clothes as her is called "Sachiko shirt".
Two of the most popular books on the market are "How to Cut Sachiko Shirt" and "How to Knit Sachiko Shirt."
The great director Zhang Yimou is the ultimate fan of Momoe Yamaguchi. People in later generations often say that all the girls are chosen according to Gong Li, which is wrong.
Because Gong Li was chosen based on Yamaguchi Momoe, Gong Li was called "Little Yamaguchi Momoe" when she debuted, especially when she smiles, even her teeth are the same.
Actually, Yang Ye didn’t know if he could invite Yamaguchi Momoe. He first laid out the conditions and then asked Kadokawa Haruki to find a way.
Aren’t you a super rich second generation? Aren't you the youngest president of Nippon? It's up to you, you throw money at her!
Yang Ye originally thought Kadokawa Haruki would find it difficult, but unexpectedly he was very excited: "Yamaguchi Momoe, she is very kawaii, so suitable."
Yang Ye continued: "Except In addition to the heroine, I would like to invite Toshiro Mifune to play the important role in the movie, Fumio Funakoshi."
Toshiro Mifune is known as the number one actor in Japan and has acted in "Rashomon" and "Seven Samurai". ", "Warring States Heroes" and a lot of classic movies, which are highly respected.
Toshiro Mifune is 55 years old. His age and image are very suitable, not to mention his superb acting skills.
Kadokawa Haruki said: "Is the prototype of Funakoshi Fumio the karate master Funakoshi Gichin?"
Yang Ye said: "Exactly!"
Karate is an ancient Ryukyu martial art, derived from China's "Tang Shou". Funakoshi Gichin was the first person to introduce karate to the Japanese mainland, and is known as "modern karate" father".
Kadokawa Haruki nodded and said: "In this case, Mifune-san is really suitable!"
Yang Ye thought, my requirements are so high, why don't you mention the cost? ? The number one actor in Japan and the most popular female star in Japan were hired at once, and the funds have already exploded.
Forget it, I’m too lazy to say it, because this guy doesn’t care at all. The era of big casts in Japanese movies was created by this guy.
When Yang Ye saw that Kadokawa Haruki agreed with his proposal, he continued: "The big villain Tsuyoshi Fujita, I hope to invite Shinichi Chiba to play."
Kadokawa Haruki was already screaming, holding the While reading the short script, he praised: "Yang Sang, I listened to your description of the plot, and now when I listen to your choice of actors, their images immediately came to my mind. They are so suitable. I admire your vision very much!"
Yang Ye couldn't help but complain: "But they are all expensive and difficult to hire."
Kadokawa Haruki didn't care at all and said: " It's just a matter of money, and it's all on me. And I read your script and I'm sure it's a masterpiece. They are all ambitious actors and they won't refuse a masterpiece."
Encountering this kind of inhumane thing, Yang Ye couldn't help but feel helpless, and couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Kadokawa, we make movies to make a profit."
"Of course I know this, I will deal with them within a reasonable range."
"Then please!" Yang Ye was too lazy to talk to this guy anymore, just do whatever you want.
In fact, we still need a Japanese actor, that is Akutagawa Ryuichi, the director of the Hongkou Dojo who defeated Fearless in a martial arts competition. Chen Zhen went to Akutagawa Ryuichi to compete, and found that he was a scumbag who couldn't beat Huo Yuanjia. Only then did he find out that Huo Yuanjia had been poisoned.
This role needs to be played by a young Japanese actor, Yang Ye is too lazy to specify one, so he can just find one when the time comes.
In Jet Li's version of "Fist of Heroes", Fumio Funakoshi and Mitsuko Yamada were Japanese, but Ryuichi Akutagawa and Tsuyoshi Fujita were both Chinese.
Yang Ye thought this was impure, and he asked all four actors to find Japanese people to play the roles.
He wants to beat up all three generations of Japanese actors, old, middle-aged and young, and then pick up their girls!
In this way, the audience will have a more sense of involvement and feel more comfortable!
Making a movie is like writing a novel. Making the audience feel happy is the way to go.
By the way, Miao Kexiu is also invited to play a role, which evokes the feelings of the old version of "Fist of Fury".
Basically, this is the strongest cast in Asia, and Yang Ye cannot find a more awesome lineup than this.
Super lineup + cool movies + emotions, isn’t this going to be a box office explosion?
The youngest president of Nippon was very happy. He patted his chest and said that as soon as the film festival was over, he would go back to Nippon to invite Toshiro Mifune, Momoe Yamaguchi and Shinichi Chiba to come out.
Yang Ye said okay, then I will get you a written script, and you can show it to them when the time comes.
After the two discussed it, Kadokawa Haruki left with satisfaction.
......
"Shaolin Temple" began its first round of screenings in Cannes.
The two oriental beauties, Zhao Yazhi and Hu Yinmeng, played a big role.
Because of her good looks, she was very advantageous in publicity and attracted a lot of audiences. In addition to the invited publishers, the huge screening hall was full.
Yang Ye and Jiang Zhiqiang didn't watch the movie at all. They were observing the reactions of audiences from all over the world.
The result did not disappoint them. From the beginning, the scene where the supporting actor played by Chen Long was thrown off the high platform by Yuan Hua made the audience dumbfounded.
The long shot without editing tells the audience that this person was really thrown down. And it is indeed a real person, not a fake person.
So high...how on earth is it done?
Immediately afterwards, Liu Jialiang's three-legged volley made the audience let out a series of exclamations.
The invention of Hong Kong movies using Wi-Fi. Although the current Wi-Fi technology is immature, the average Hong Kong audience can probably guess what is going on.
But foreigners have no concept of this at all. They now use Wang Baquan when making movies and fighting.
They couldn't understand how this man flew up and kicked three times in the air.
Some people exclaimed if this was magic, some were shouting BruceLee, and some were shouting ChineseKungFu.
Yang Yexin said, what's the use of calling BruceLee? BruceLee can't do these three kicks.
The entire movie was watched amidst the exclamations of the audience, and there was no order in watching the movie.
This actually reminded Yang Ye of the time he watched "Terminator 2" at his cousin's house when he was a child. At that time, he kept exclaiming.
Looking back now, that movie had too much shock to his young mind.
At the end of the movie, the traitor Jian and Yang Ye soared into the air. Yang Ye kneeled the traitor Jian to the ground with a knee in the air, and took the sword to carry out a great revenge.
This shocking kick and clean sword immediately caused the scene to burst into warm applause, one after another, deafening.
People were still reluctant to leave until the subtitles came out of the movie. Suddenly someone pointed at the names of the actors on the screen and shouted: "NickYoung!"
People immediately followed up and shouted: "NickYoung! NickYoung! NickYoung ..."
Yang Ye knew that from this moment on, in this world, his name would become as famous as BruceLee!
