Chapter 62 It can’t end
Hu Jinquan had been preparing for "Spirit Rain in the Sky" for many years, and finally got such an opportunity, so he immediately agreed.
Even if Yang Ye needs to be compensated for the delay in filming, he doesn't care.
After all, the preliminary work for this movie has been completed long ago, and he is confident that it will be completed within the year.
And it is impossible for him to make another movie like "The Heroine". Which investor can bear to make a movie for four years?
In fact, the reason why Yang Ye signed Hu Jinquan is very simple, because Hu Jinquan is the Zhang Yimou and Li Jian of this era. And Hu Jinquan's aesthetics is even better than the two of them.
Yang Ye believes that as long as he uses the concepts and technologies of later generations to add some commercial elements to Hu Jinquan's movies, his movies will explode at the box office.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was used by Yang Ye to test the waters. If it succeeds, he will reuse Hu Jinquan to shoot a series of subsequent works.
......
In order to celebrate the box office of "Drunken Master" exceeding 5 million, Yang Ye held a celebration banquet for Chen Long at Lei Garden Restaurant.
Yang Ye and Zhao Yazhi held hands, and as soon as they appeared in Liyuan, they were greeted by a large number of reporters.
"Master Yang, are you and Zhizhi dating?"
"We are good friends!"
"Master Yang, this time "Drunken Master" is a big hit Five million, what do you think?”
“You should ask Aaron this question”
"Mr. Yang, do you have any plans to star in the next movie?"
"Yes!"
"Can you reveal what content will be filmed?"
"Confidential ! ”
“Why did you make movies with so much fanfare before, but keep it secret this time?”
"I was not famous at that time, so naturally I had to act like a clown to attract your attention, so you would report on me. Now that I am famous, I naturally have to hide and take pictures, otherwise you will harass me every day, delay my project schedule, and You won't pay me any money."
Yang Ye's honest attitude caused a burst of laughter, and another reporter asked reluctantly: "Can you reveal a little bit?"
"I can only tell you. , this time it’s a super cast. Okay, we’re going in.”
Yang Ye saw Chen Long’s car approaching and didn’t want to steal his limelight, so he pulled Zhao Yayi into the restaurant. .
Today is a celebration banquet for Chen Long, so let him show off your pussy.
As soon as Chen Long and Yuan Heping got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by reporters.
After Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen and Yang Yip, Chen Long is the fourth star whose local box office exceeds 5 million, and his performance in "Drunken Master" is extremely eye-catching. Many people predict that Hong Kong Another new star in the film industry is about to rise.
"Drunken Master" was a huge success, earning Yang Ye one million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office alone.
Yang Ye generously gave red envelopes worth 50,000 yuan each to Chen Long and Yuan Heping. Chen Long immediately bought a new car after receiving the money.
Chen Long's character is like this, quite arrogant.
After he became rich overnight, he went to a clothing store to buy things. The style of painting was like this: This one, this one, this one... No, wrap up all the others!
While filming "A Good Man", Chen Long was shopping in Australia with his family, and was recognized by a clerk in a watch store. He immediately warmly entertained him and recommended a 580,000-piece Rolex watch.
Chen Long originally only wanted to buy one for himself, but the clerk asked, wouldn’t others buy it?
Chen Long thought, how shameless is this? One more, one for each person!
As soon as Chen Long got out of the car, he was immediately surrounded by reporters. The guy was immediately overjoyed. As a result, the reporters tricked him into asking a lot of questions, and he almost told him which guy he slept with last night.
Fortunately, Yuan Heping was smart and quickly pulled him into the restaurant.
Yuan Heping complained: "You haven't mentioned the new film to Mr. Yang yet, and you are talking about it. What if Mr. Yang doesn't agree?"
Chen Long also regretted it, pretending just now Pretending too much, he said awkwardly: "Let's join forces, Young Master Yang will agree." "I hope so!"
As soon as the two entered the venue, they first met with the other Seven Little Fortunes They waved and then ran to say hello to Yang Ye and Xia Meng.
As soon as they passed by, they were surprised to find that the woman sitting next to Yang Ye was actually Miao Kexiu, and Zhao Yazhi was sitting with Xia Meng instead.
Miao Kexiu was Bruce Lee's heroine. At that time, Chen Long was just a walk-on and was beaten by Bruce Lee every day.
Yang Ye joked: "Aaron, does it feel good to be famous?"
Chen Long was a little unsatisfied: "It feels so good!"
Yuan Heping kicked Chen Long After a kick, Chen Long could only say: "Young Master Yang, I want to admit my mistake to you. I just let it slip in front of reporters."
"Oh? What did you say?"
"We have thought about a new movie. Before I could tell you, we were surrounded by reporters just now. As soon as my mind got hot, I said it."
"What movie, tell me."
Yuan Heping quickly told the movie he was thinking of. When Yang Ye heard it, wasn't it "Snake".
Speaking of which, "The Snake" is the work that made Yuan Heping and Chen Long famous.
The box office of this movie in the original time and space was 2.7 million, ranking eighth in 1978. Only after the success did "Drunken Master" appear, with a box office of 6.7 million, ranking second in the year.
Unexpectedly, under the influence of Yang Ye, Yuan Heping first filmed "Drunken Master" and then produced this "Snake Shape".
"It sounds good, then let's shoot it. However, since you plan to use the original cast of "Drunken Master", the plot is similar, except that Drunken Master is replaced by Snake Fist. Those who are familiar with it, I’ll give you a month, can you finish the filming?”
Yuan Heping patted his chest and said, “No problem.”
Yang Ye patted Yuan Heping’s shoulder and said, “It’s not me. I want to rush you, but I don’t have enough time. You must finish filming the movie in August. In September, you will be the martial arts director for my new film. This time, I will use the strongest cast in Asia. You must perform well. ”
Yuan Heping heard that he had the strongest cast in Asia. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "What cast?"
Yang Ye said: "I plan to remake Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury". I will play Chen Zhen, and Miss Miao Kexiu will also do it." Starring in this film. This is a Sino-Japanese co-production. If nothing else, the actors on Japan’s side are Toshiro Mifune, Momoe Yamaguchi, and Shinichi Chiba.”
After Bruce Lee’s death, Miao Kexiu was still there. Jiahe was filming, but without Brother Long to support her, the films she made were all bad. And she was also under tremendous mental pressure because of Bruce Lee's death.
Some time ago, she decided to leave Jiahe and go to Taiwan to develop. At this time, Yang Ye suddenly sent out an invitation to participate in "Jingwu Heroes". Miao Kexiu thought about it and agreed.
In the original time and space, one year later, she would be invited back by Luo Wei to star with Chen Long in "New Fist of Fury".
After Yuan Heping heard this lineup, he exclaimed: "That is indeed the strongest cast in Asia."
But in his heart, he thought that Yang Ye was challenging Bruce Lee and deliberately brought Miao Kexiu over.
Chen Long said: "Young Master Yang, can I play a role?"
Yang Ye asked with interest: "You are now famous, are you still willing to play a supporting role? "
Chen Long smiled and said: "I am honored to be able to participate in such a powerful cast. "
Yang Ye thought to himself that this guy was really good at life, no wonder he could achieve such a great reputation in later generations. He then said: "If you really want to act, the second male lead in this movie has not yet been decided. Are you interested?"
Chen Long was overjoyed. It is already very exciting to play the second male lead in such an awesome cast. After all, he had nothing to be dissatisfied with. He quickly said: "That's great!"
Yang Ye suddenly thought that this lineup should be unprecedented in Asia and unprecedented, right?
When the banquet was over, Yang Ye returned home, but received a call from Kadokawa Haruki.
Kadokawa told him that Toshiro Mifune and Shinichi Chiba were both willing to star, but... Momoe Yamaguchi refused to star.
Yang Ye was stunned for a moment. I have already boasted about my awesomeness. How will it end now?
