Chapter 75 The Three Beauties of the Martial Arts
After "Fist of Heroes", this kind of fierce action movies have come to an end, and they will not be more exciting than this one.
So Yang Ye chose to change his style and make martial arts movies to play with artistic conception.
Should we talk about artistic conception?
In front of Hu Jinquan, Li Jian, Zhang Yimou, and Xu Ke all had to call themselves master.
Before King Hu, martial arts movies were cult movies, cult movies, and they were not popular.
After Hu Jinquan, martial arts films officially got rid of the cage of Japanese sword and halberd films and became a brand new genre of Chinese films, and they have made a splash in the world film industry.
Hu Jinquan established unique film aesthetics and shooting methods for martial arts films, and also created the profession of martial arts director.
When future generations make martial arts films, it is he who innovates on the basis of his creation.
What Hu Jinquan lacks is that the technical level of this era is too poor, which affects his performance.
It doesn't matter, Yang Ye will help him make up for it.
To film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it would be a bit uncertain for Yang Ye to be the director himself.
Because the artistic conception is too mysterious, if it exists, it will exist, and if it does not exist, it will not exist. Even if Yang Ye has "divine power", it will not be of much help in this regard.
Unless Yang Ye can go to the filming locations of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Hongcun, Anji, Urumqi, Summer Resort... one-to-one on-site reproduction.
But...it is simply impossible to shoot movies in the mainland now.
So Yang Ye's choice was to cooperate with Hu Jinquan. Hu Jinquan would choose the location, Hu Jinquan would take the shots, and the two would co-direct.
Hu Jinquan's movies such as "The Heroine", "Spiritual Rain in the Sky", "Legend of the Mountain"... are all so breathtakingly beautiful that every frame can be cut out and used as wallpaper.
......
Momohui Yamaguchi is in a passionate affair with Yang Ye and is unwilling to leave Yang Ye.
But Yang Ye wants to go to Taiwan, and she can’t go without a visa.
Yamaguchi Momoe plans to return to Japan to apply for a visa, and then join Yang Ye in Taiwan.
Yang Yexin said, Taiwanese people think that Teresa Teng and I are a couple. Should I take you to Taiwan on horseback? The Taiwanese people haven’t torn me apart yet?
He knew nothing about doing this kind of thing, so he told Yamaguchi Momoe: ""Fist of Heroes" is going to be released in Japan. I can't go to Japan for the time being. You are the heroine and you have to go back to the platform. Promote our movie! In addition, you suddenly ran out, and you have to explain to your office. When I have time, I will go to Japan to see you."
Momoe Yamaguchi thought. It makes sense, they can only return to Japan to promote their movie and continue their work.
Yang Ye couldn't help but sigh as he put Yamaguchi Momoe on the plane.
Men, they always have special feelings for women who have taken first blood. It doesn’t matter if it’s second-hand.
But Yang Ye traveled through time earlier. Others in Hong Kong wear the 80s or even the 90s, but Yang Ye wears the 70s.
Good guy, many of those unparalleled beauties haven’t grown up yet. They all have first blood, and Yang Ye can’t even take them all.
So much so that Hu Yinmeng, a second-hand person, was easily available to Yang Ye, but he couldn't arouse any interest unless she came up and did it herself.
Having said that, due to the special psychology of men, first blood is not easy to get. If you get it, you will inexplicably want to be responsible for other girls.
But how to be responsible? All married?
I think the law does not allow it!
Alas, Yang Ye has no other choice but to break the jar.
No matter what, you have to take it!
……
"A Feng, long time no see!"
Xu Feng hummed, which was considered a greeting.
Yang Ye didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Let's order!"
The three of them ordered a few dishes at random. When waiting for the dishes to be served, Yang Ye asked: "Director Hu "You have read the script. Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
Hu Jinquan smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, just call me Lao Hu. I read the script carefully three times. It's really amazing." I really didn’t expect anyone to write a more detailed script than me, Lao Hu. After reading the script, I already had a picture in my mind of what the whole movie would be like, Mr. Yang, you really have a lot of ambitions.”
Last time, Yang Ye gave Hu Jinquan 700,000 yuan to film "Spiritual Rain in the Sky", and after giving the money, he stopped interfering and gave him full responsibility.
This made Hu Jinquan very happy, so he flattered Yang Ye wildly, hoping that next time he could get more money to make the movie he wanted to make.
Yang Ye chuckled and didn't take it seriously. All great directors are masters of deception. They can do anything to make money. What does it mean to flatter them?
Yang Yedao: "Old Hu has given me the award, let's talk about the problem directly."
Hu Jinquan said: "In terms of plot, I think it is very perfect, but there are many scenes that I find extremely difficult to achieve, and I feel very Incredible.”
Yang Ye smiled and said: "These are not problems. I can draw them and have my own solutions. There are only two problems we are facing now, one is location selection and the other is casting. As for location selection, I really can't do it. I want to give you the full responsibility if I don’t have time. In fact, I want to go to the mainland, but unfortunately I can’t go there. I can only choose to go around the mainland.” It’s really a pity for the shooting. Leave the location selection to me. What do you think about the casting?”
Yang Ye said: “Just use your usual team.”
>Hu Jinquan said: "But there is a problem here. Now in the entire Chinese world, the person with the most box office appeal is Mr. Yang. But this Li Mubai, he should be a middle-aged man in his thirties, which does not match your image. Ah?" Yang Ye said: "I don't play Li Mubai, I play Luo Xiaohu."
Hu Jinquan was surprised: "Are you playing a supporting role?"
Yang Ye smiled: "Is there any problem? The filming of this movie is too difficult, and it has to be moved around. I plan to co-direct with you, but I really don't have time to act again. The protagonist. And the age and image of the protagonist and I don’t match, so we really can’t play it.”
Yang Ye, this is nonsense, why didn’t he say he didn’t have time to direct and act in the last two movies?
He just wanted to play Luo Xiaohu, and there would be a passionate scene between Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong.
Hu Jinquan said: "Okay! But Mr. Yang, your current position as a supporting role is really rare. Among my team, the most famous actress is Afeng. Her temperament plays Yujiao. Dragon is also suitable.”
Yang Ye grinned at Xu Feng and said: "A Feng, shall we act as a couple?"
Hu Jinquan saw this and thought: Damn, it turns out that this pervert is trying to have A Feng's idea, no wonder Last time he told me that he wanted to sign Afeng into his film company.
Hu Jinquan had read the script and naturally knew that there was a passionate scene between Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong. Yang Ye gave up Li Mubai and insisted on playing Luo Xiaohu. Hu Jinquan could only think this way.
Xu Feng said: "I listen to Master."
Before Hu Jinquan spoke, Yang Ye said: "A Feng is indeed beautiful, but I think she is more suitable to play Yu Xiulian. As for Yu Jiao Long should be played by a girl around eighteen years old.”
The cast of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a bit confusing. There is no dispute that Li Mubai is the male lead. It stands to reason that Yu Xiulian is the female lead and has a lot of roles, but the highlight of the movie is Yu Jiaolong.
Hu Jinquan found that he had misunderstood Yang Ye. He thought he was a pervert and deliberately acted as Luo Xiaohu just to take advantage of Xu Feng. It turned out not to be the case.
Hu Jinquan asked apologetically: "So who does Mr. Yang think is suitable to play the role of Yu Jiaolong?"
Yang Ye said: "Of course it is Lin Qingxia."
Hu Jinquan I found that I had misunderstood again. It turned out that Yang Ye did not want to take advantage of Xu Feng, but wanted to take advantage of Lin Qingxia.
Still a pervert!
Yang Ye said with a serious face: "The role of Yu Jiaolong is a rebellious and stubborn girl. Although Lin Qingxia plays Qiong Yao drama, she has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which is actually more suitable for her. To play a heroine. And she is relatively young, so there is no one more suitable than her."
Hu Jinquan fully agreed with Yang Ye's words.
"I have also noticed Lin Qingxia's appearance. Her acting in Qiong Yao drama is indeed a waste of talent. If she can act in martial arts movies, she will definitely shine."
Now King Hu is no longer blind. I guess Yang Ye is a pervert and has ulterior motives.
Because he believed that Yang Ye did have a keen eye and had the same vision as his hero, the casting was entirely based on the movie.
He said: "It's just that Lin Qingxia has always acted in Qiong Yao dramas. Let her play the heroine this time. I don't know if she is willing to come."
Yang Ye said: "She shoots those shabby threesomes every day. What’s the point of being able to make ten movies in a year? I’ll hire her myself for such a good role. I believe I can win her over.”
Hu Jinquan disagreed, thinking: Lin Qingxia is innocent. She has the image of a pretty girl, you want her to act in a passionate scene? She is willing, but Qiong Yao is not willing.
But he didn’t feel like saying anything more. He wanted to wait until Yang Ye hit a wall before talking. After Yang Ye said it, he also felt that Lin Qingxia was suitable for Yu Jiaolong, and he still hoped that Yang Ye could successfully invite Lin Qingxia back.
Yang Ye said: "Lao Hu, speaking of your film team, there is another great beauty, Zheng Peipei, who is known as the 'Martial Arts Queen'. Where is she now?"
Hu Jinquan said: "I was filming "The Queen of Martial Arts". "Dragon Gate Inn", I hoped to find Peipei to play the heroine, but unfortunately she chose to get married and immigrated to the United States at that time. I chose Ah Feng, but Ah Feng was too young at that time and only played in "Dragon Gate Inn". "It's a pity that I played a small supporting role in "Dragon Inn". The heroine of "Dragon Inn" was Shangguan Lingfeng. Shangguan Lingfeng's image and temperament couldn't support this movie. The heroine is a failure.
Yang Yedao: "In the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the blue-eyed fox thinks that Yu Jiaolong and she are the same kind of people. So when choosing a character, I will consider it in terms of appearance, which is easy Let the audience recognize this point of view and feel more involved.
Zheng Peipei and Lin Qingxia are both beauties with a heroic look in their eyebrows. It is from this point of view that I hope they can play the role. Master and apprentice. Zheng Peipei plays the master, Blue Eyes Fox, and Lin Qingxia plays the apprentice, Yu Jiaolong.”
Hu Jinquan said: "This is indeed interesting, but it is a pity that Peipei has long since passed away. She is married and has children, and she is afraid that she will not come back."
Yang Ye said: "She is a housewife at home every day. What's the point? You Write her a letter and I’ll take it to the United States. I’ll hire her in person for such a good role. I believe she can sleep with her!”
In Li Yin’s version of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, Zheng Peipei and Yang Ziqiong is really too old.
In Wang Dulu's original work, the blue-eyed fox was a great beauty who was still a girl when she seduced Li Mubai's master Jiang Nanhe.
But according to Zheng Peipei’s age in Li Yin’s movie version, the blue-eyed fox is Jiang Nanhe who only seduced him when he was in his forties or fifties. Is Jiang Nanhe’s taste so strong?
And Yu Xiulian, according to the novel, should be about thirty years old, so Yu Jiaolong calls her sister.
But do you think Yang Ziqiong looks like Zhang Ziyi’s sister? Pretty much like her mother.
From a casting point of view, Li Yin's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a huge failure, as the actors were all too old.
But Li Jian had no choice. There was a huge shortage of female actors in the Chinese film industry, so he could only make do with it.
Both Cheng Peipei and Yang Ziqiong are very good beat girls with good acting skills. The disadvantage of age can only be ignored.
But now that Yang Ye is here to shoot, it’s not a problem at all.
Zheng Peipei, Xu Feng and Lin Qingxia were the leading heroines in the Chinese film industry in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s respectively.
I will get it together for you in one go, it’s perfect!
The fourth update is here, tomorrow’s update time is noon! In other words, there will be no updates after 0 o'clock, so there is no need to wait!
