Chapter 68 You have to think clearly
After drafting the contract, Yang Ye and Xie quickly completed the signing ceremony, and the two companies also held a high-profile press conference.
The Hong Kong media immediately published the news that "Shaolin Temple" will become the first foreign language film to be released in the United States in a split-bill format.
The media also highlighted that it was a foreign language film, not a Hong Kong film.
Because so far, no foreign language film has ever been released in North America as a split.
This news made many Hong Kong people feel very proud of Yourong.
Yang Ye's image has become much taller because of this, and even the negative impression caused by this scumbag who picks up girls everywhere has been eliminated.
In fact, in Hong Kong today, the concubinage system has been abolished less than four years ago. Most of the wealthy people in Hong Kong have several wives.
For example, Zhang Guorong’s father, Zhang Huohai, had one wife and two concubines. Movie tycoons Run Run Shaw and Chow Wenhuai both have extramarital affairs, not to mention gambling kings.
Although the law has been abolished, the concept is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Let alone a scandal, even if it is true, it is not unacceptable to people today.
Therefore, although Yang Ye obviously has two interests, Zhao Yazhi and Deng Lijun did not step forward and slap each other, yelling: "Scumbag, break up!"
On the contrary, they also staged a good fight between the two women for their husbands. play.
In the early Hong Kong entertainment industry, all the female stars were vying to be mistresses. In addition to money, the other reason was that they had grown up in this environment.
In their minds, it is very common for a rich man to have three wives and four concubines. Some poor people can marry two wives as long as they can cheat.
……
After Xie signed the contract, he quickly returned to the United States to contact theaters and prepare for the release of "Shaolin Temple".
Yang Ye used the contract of "Fist of Heroes" to dangle him. Even if he stole the box office, he wouldn't go too far.
Since everyone is busy filming a new film, "Snake" did not have a premiere, but was screened at midnight first.
The results of the test screenings were pretty good, although the general consensus was that it was less interesting than "Drunken Master".
The two movies are so similar, with similar stories and actors. The only difference is the addition of a Russian master.
The actor who plays this Russian master is called Roy Holland, who was originally not worth mentioning.
It is worth mentioning that he later married a wife and had children in Hong Kong, and gave birth to a daughter named Lu Xuelian.
Lu Xuelian entered the entertainment industry when she grew up, changed her name to Lu Jingshan, and starred in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" with Wu Jing, which broke the box office record.
After watching "Snake", Yang Ye said to Yuan Heping and Chen Long: "The style has been maintained, but the joy during the fighting is not enough. You can strengthen this aspect in the next movie. Carry forward this humorous style."
After Yang Ye said this, seeing that the two of them didn't quite understand, he said, "Do you think that the right way to make an action movie is to make it exciting?"
The two nodded, and Chen Long said: "I think it's great to play in "Shaolin Temple"."
Yang Yedao: "The great painter Qi Baishi has a saying, 'Those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die. 'Aron, you have learned from Bruce Lee before, haven't you? Don't underestimate kung fu comedies, this is the way to go.
Our Hong Kong comedies, from Li Hanxiang to Xu Guanwen, are just from literati. The jokes have evolved into commercial jokes, and they are all literary. But if you look at Western comedies by Chaplin and Jacques Tati, they are still very funny, even if they don’t speak. You still remember it and feel sad.
Because they use body language to drive the plot and convey emotions, which is high-end comedy.
Think about it carefully, if you understand this truth, the box office will surpass Xu Guanwen. As for your movie, I guess it would be good if the box office could be half of that of "Drunken Master". "
In late September, "Snake" was officially released at Golden Harvest Cinema. Shaw Brothers competed with a romantic film "Contraceptive Encyclopedia".
The name of "Feng Yue Film" is quite good Elegance, to put it bluntly, is actually a pornographic film.
There is no classification system in Hong Kong, and anything can be published. Shaw Brothers make money every year from these craps.
Sally, Six major porn stars, Shao Yinyin, Tian Ni, Hu Jin, Chen Ping, and Liu Huiling, take turns, attracting many salty guys to go to the cinema to masturbate every year.
However, "Contraceptive Encyclopedia" was unlucky when it ran into "Snake Man", with a box office of 250,000 and a dismal ending.
Shao Brothers refused to accept it and changed it to "The Fall", which was still a romance film, but the story background was changed to modern times, and the audience felt more involved when they masturbated. The box office was 800,000, barely maintaining the ranking. .
Although "Snake" is not as fierce as "Drunken Master", it still dominates the September box office, with a box office of 2.96 million, temporarily ranking fourth in the annual box office.
Although it once again proved the strength of Yuan Heping and Chen Long, the box office was not much different from what Yang Ye expected.
Chen Long began to think carefully about Yang Ye's words.
...
After the crew of "Fist of Heroes" finished filming Hiroyuki Sanada's scenes, they began filming Toshiro Mifune's scenes.
With Toshiro Mifune's acting skills, he is good at both literary and drama. However, the classic duel with Chen Zhen was very difficult to film.
Yang Ye’s method is to set up the moves first and shoot while doing it. He plans to take half a month to shoot this scene.
During this period, "Kunlun", which had been serialized for two full years, was finally completed and began to be published.
Jin Yong wrote the preface to "Kunlun" and praised "Kunlun" as a beautiful novel. The plot is twists and turns, the martial arts are wonderful, and the emotions are touching. And with its overall grandeur and grandeur, it invites people to enter a world where rivers and lakes, history, human nature, and culture are widely expressed.
Gu Long wrote the postscript for "Kunlun". He believed that Liang Xiao was a mathematician who had been lonely all his life, and he would not call him a chivalrous person for the time being. This loneliness is deep in the bones.
Two great gods in the martial arts world gave him face like this, which shows Yang Ye’s reputation.
When "Kunlun" was being published, "Canghai" quickly took over and started serialization, which caused a lot of controversy.
When "Kunlun" began to be serialized, the controversy was whether this novel was written by Jin Yong in a vest? When it comes to "Cang Hai", people are debating whether this is still a martial arts novel?
......
Zhao Yangming was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. He was reading "Canghai" which was being serialized in "Ming Pao". In order to enjoy it, he saved up for a week before starting. look.
"Cang Hai" is very different from "Kunlun". The martial arts system abandons the traditional martial arts system and becomes more like a fighting method. The characters in the novel control the earth, fire and water. , wind and other elements, launch various skills to attack, and there is also a Persian cat named "Fomalhaut", which can add BUFF to its owner.
Of course, Zhao Yangming didn’t know what skills and buffs were, but he enjoyed watching them anyway.
Jin Yong's novels will also have magical beasts, such as Guo Jing's firebird and Yang Guo's divine eagle.
But although these monsters are very spiritual, that's all. Zhao Yangming had never seen someone like "Fomalhaut" who could fight with his master and assist him in using his skills.
This made Zhao Yangming very enjoyable to read, because the martial arts in the novel are so interesting.
Oh, it can’t be called martial arts, because it’s out of the scope of martial arts. In the book, it’s just called magical powers.
"Daddy, it's time to eat." Zhao Yazhi helped her mother put the food on the table.
"Here we come!" Zhao Yangming put down the newspaper, washed his hands, and returned to the dining table to eat.
Zhao Yazhen asked: "Dad, what are you reading? Are you so fascinated?"
"Yang Ye's new novel, what else can you read?"
"Does it look good?"
"It looks good, but it's a little different from the martial arts novels I've read before."
"I haven't read it yet, why is it different? Tell me about it."
"I still can't tell what story it is telling, and how it has anything to do with "Kunlun". It's just that the fights in the novel are very It’s interesting. It’s not called martial arts anymore, it’s called magical power.
There is a magical power called Yin Jiuyou, which can be used to make armor and turn people into zombies.
There is one. A man named Ning Bukong has fire powers. When he throws a small branch, it will explode, just like a grenade.
There is also a woman named Xianbi, who is British. She uses it. It is the magical power of the earth, it can control the earth, and it is also very powerful.
They all came from a sect called Xicheng, but they fought with each other and snatched several portraits, probably to compete for a treasure. "
"All British people have them? "
"Well, I think this West City should be related to Liang Xiao, the protagonist of the first part. Didn't he go to England? In short, Yang Ye is a young boy who is good at writing and it was very enjoyable to read. "
"Then show it to me after you finish it. "
"Give me a bowl of rice first. ”
"Okay!" Zhao Yazhen happily served the meal.
Zhao’s mother saw that Zhao Yazhi had been immersed in eating, looking a little unhappy, and couldn’t help but ask: "Good girl, are you dating that Yang Ye?"
"Ah ?" Zhao Yazhi held the bowl and said in a panic: "No, he is my boss."
"Really?"
< br>
"That's good. I think that Yang Ye is just Chen Shimei. First he was friendly with Deng Lijun, and then he hooked up with a Japanese woman. Good girl, you must keep your eyes open and don't be fooled by his sweet words."< br>
After hearing this, Zhao Yazhen couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking that your precious daughter had been deceived to death a long time ago.
Zhao Yazhi was unhappy: "Mommy, who did you listen to? Ah... Yang Ye is not that kind of person."
"I heard this when I was playing mahjong. What Master Zhu said is what is written in the newspapers.”
“Those newspapers dare to write anything for the sake of sales, and don’t listen to Master Zhu’s nonsense in the future. She knows how to talk in just one day. I understand who Yang Ye is, he is not who you say.”
Zhao Yazhen helped: "Yes, Mr. Yang is so successful, there must be a lot of vixens surrounding him all day long, and it has nothing to do with him. You see, as soon as I get older, there are shameless women going to him." It’s all over me. Ouch, why did you hit me?”
Before Zhao Yazhen could finish her words, she was hit with a chopstick by Zhao Yangming.
"No matter how big or small, do you think you can talk like that?"
"Then I'm not wrong!"
Before Zhao Yazhen finished speaking, she walked away. She ran away because Zhao Yangming wanted to beat her again.
Zhao Yangming put down his chopsticks and said with some sincerity: "Fourth brother, logically speaking, when you grow up, you should make your own decisions. However, my parents are both experienced, so I still want to advise you. Your sister is right, A celebrity like Yang Ye is bound to have a lot of people around him, so you have to think carefully."
"Daddy, Mommy, I've finished eating. Let's go back to the room."< br>
Zhao Yazhi put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and went back to the room.
Mother Zhao couldn't help but ask: "Husband, A Zhi is not really dating that Yang Ye, right?"
Men naturally understand men, Zhao Yangming said: "That Yang Ye I asked the fourth child to make a movie for no reason and become the heroine. Do I need to say more about what the intention was? ”
"None of you men are good, you all think about three wives and four concubines."
"Hey, what does this have to do with me?"
Mother Zhao ignored her husband and thought about it. After a while, he suddenly murmured: "This Yang Ye is so capable. As long as he is willing to reveal that the matchmaker is marrying him, this marriage will be successful."
