Chapter 81 Jiahui's Love Letter
Yang Ye said to Chen Long: "Aaron, do you want to become a director?"
Chen Long said: "Of course I do."
Yang Ye said: "Then you discuss it with your senior brothers, save up a notebook, and just ask Sister Meng for money."
Chen Long was amused: "Is it so casual?"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Just take it easy and gain some experience first."
Chen Long said: "Then I know."
"There are also kung fu comedies I told you about. You have to think more about the path..."
Yang Ye talked about a few points with Chen Long, and Chen Long nodded repeatedly.
If you have watched the documentary "Chen Long's Stunts", you will know that Chen Long is definitely a genius in terms of action design.
Therefore, Yang Ye would not explain it too clearly, but would just briefly mention it to inspire him and let him figure it out for himself.
Kung fu movies like the ones made in the early Republic of China now will be eliminated in a few years, and then the world of fashion kung fu movies will dominate.
So Yang Ye asked Chen Long to direct and act, and let him practice his skills and explore his own martial arts style.
As for the box office, Yang Ye doesn't care much. With Chen Long's appeal, he basically can't lose money now.
A few people chatted for a while and started to serve the food. Today is a celebration banquet, so Yang Ye cannot be stingy. The dishes are very sumptuous, and each table is served with a piece of Eastern Star Spot.
Many people came to toast, and Yang Ye naturally couldn't drink them all. Most of the time, they just raised their glasses to express their gratitude.
Halfway through the drinking session, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a pink dress, with a face as delicate as a doll, ran to Yang Ye, holding a notebook, and said nervously: "Young Master Yang, can you help me?" Can I sign it?"
Yang Ye took her notebook and asked with interest: "Of course, what is your name?"
"My name is Guan Jiahui. My father is Guan Shan.”
“It turns out that he is the daughter of the Guan family. Are you here with your father?”
"Yes!"
"You are very cute!"
As Yang Ye said, he wrote in his notebook with a beautiful face: I wish Jiahui will grow more beautiful! ——Yang Ye.
Guan Jiahui said proudly: "Of course."
As she said that, she took out a beautifully folded letter from her pocket and said: "This is for you."
Yang Ye asked: "What is this?"
He was about to take it apart, but Guan Jiahui stopped him and said, "You can only take it apart when you are alone."
"Why? "
"You can only watch it when you are alone."
"Okay!"
Yang Ye put the letter away.
Seeing this, Guan Jiahui left happily. Before leaving, she emphasized again: "Remember, you can only watch it when you are alone."
……
Yang Ye found that everyone looked at him strangely, and said depressedly: "What are you looking at me for? I'm not a goldfish guy."
Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting next to him, said funnyly: "This Isn’t it a love letter?”
Yang Ye gave her the letter and asked: "Do you want to read it?"
"This little girl wrote to you, why should I read it?"
Xia Meng went to the table in Guanshan After taking a look, he said: "Don't look here, the little girl is thin-skinned. Also, don't reject her rudely. It's best to write her a reply with a more tactful wording, so that she doesn't have random thoughts and encourage her to be good. Studying or something like that."
Yang Ye said with a grimace: "Should I reply?"
"What else? Adolescent girls are very sensitive and need guidance. It doesn’t work to reject her or ignore her.”
"I'll go, Sister Meng, you are still an education expert."
When the banquet was over, Yang Ye took out the letter and read it.
"Dear Mr. Yang, hello! My name is Guan Jiahui, I am 14 years old and I am in the second grade of middle school."
Yang Yexin said, you are really the second grade of middle school.
Hong Kong's secondary schools are consecutive, from Form 1 to Form 6. There is no distinction between junior high school and senior high school, and no high school entrance examination is required.
"I like reading your novels, listening to your songs, and watching your movies. You are very talented, good at fighting, and handsome. I think you are the most perfect man in the world!"
Yang Ye was very happy with the flattery!
“When I was little, everyone called me doll, and I knew I was pretty. In our school, many boys liked me, and they fawned over me every day and gave me gifts. But I looked down on them, I think they are very shallow and have less substance than you."
"I think you and I are both talented and beautiful. Can you date me?
When I grow up, I will. Marry you and be your wife.
When you go to work in the morning, I will instruct the Filipino maid to clean up the house.
I will go shopping at noon, do beauty treatments, and dress myself up beautifully.
When you come back in the evening, we will watch movies, date, and eat Western food together.
If you are going to socialize or attend an event, I will accompany you.
During the holidays, we travel together around the world.
I will also give you two lovely babies, a boy and a girl.
You give them a name!
——I love you Jiahui"
Yang Ye was stunned. What a beautiful thought, little girl?
Yang Ye threw the letter on the desk, Turning the pen in one hand in a daze.
Zhao Yazhi walked in and said funny: "What are you doing? Thinking of writing a love letter to your sister Jiahui?"
Yang Ye said with a sad face: "It's nonsense to write, Sister Meng asked me not to hurt the little girl. I still have to encourage her and guide her... Isn't it too difficult? "
"Aren't you a great writer? "
"Uh..."
Yang Ye pondered for dozens of seconds and wrote eight big words on the paper: "Study hard and make progress every day!"
"Are you being too perfunctory?" "Never mind her!"
Yang Ye threw the pen away, picked up Zhao Yazhi, put it on his lap, and kissed her With a small mouth, Zhao Yazhi dodged.
“Unhappy? You’re not even jealous of the girls in the second grade of middle school, are you?”
“I’m not! Brother, it’s just... you are so popular and have so many outstanding talents. The girl likes you, but I... don’t think I’m good enough for you.”
Yang Ye understood it as soon as he thought about it. When he made his first movie, the heroine was a newcomer named Zhao Yazhi. Although he gained some fame after the release of "Shaolin Temple", now he only plays vase roles in some movies.
Later, Yang Ye’s singing partner Lijun Deng, her second movie partner Yamaguchi Momoe, and her third movie partner Lin Qingxia and Xu Feng were all big stars.
It seems that everyone is more than a little bit better than her, so it’s no wonder she feels inferior.
Yang Ye thought for a while, raised Zhao Yazhi's white and tender chin, kissed her red lips hard for a while, and said: "Don't think nonsense, in fact, I have already planned your career. But it’s not the time yet, so I didn’t say anything. Believe me, I will make you a big star who can’t lose to anyone.”
“I don’t want to be a big star, I just want to follow you. You together.”
Zhizhi, you are my beloved woman, and I have always been at the forefront of your mind. It’s just that my career has just developed and I need to travel everywhere, so I don’t have that much time to spend with you. Believe me, I will always be good to you. "
"Well, I believe it. "
Women always have unrealistic fantasies about their first man, even if they are prostitutes.
......
" Ah Ye, I heard that this time it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? I wish you success! "Zou Wenhuai and Yang Ye raised their glasses.
"I'd like to lend you your kind words."
Yang Ye has been hiding from Jiahe for so long, and now "Fist of Heroes" is about to be finished. The two parties finally met and made an appointment to have dinner at the Finnish restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel.
Yang Ye took a bite of steak and said bluntly: "Boss Zou, Boss He. Let's open the skylight and speak frankly. At first you thought I was dead and wanted to poach people from my company. To be honest, There's nothing wrong with that. It's a pity that I'm not dead. I won't be happy, and I will definitely fight back. Otherwise, if everyone thinks I'm a weakling, what should I do if they try to take advantage of me?"
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "That's the truth."
Although Zou Wenhuai said this, he did not regret it. The situation at that time was that he had to compete with Shaw Brothers for time, so this was the only way.
If Yang Ye hadn't died, the worst thing would be to repair the relationship slowly. If Yang Ye really dies and lets Shaw Brothers poach the talents of Baiyang Pictures first, Jiahe will be in doom.
"And you two have also seen it. As long as my film is good, I don't have to worry about not having a theater to show it. In addition to the two theaters of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, there are so many bulk theaters in Hong Kong. I can do it all. It’s not difficult to come up with one.”
He Guanchang said: “That said, the theater chain you improvised must be unstable. Everyone can break up at any time for their own interests. For example, Anle introduced the Hollywood movie "Jaws" and released "Fist of Heroes" yesterday. If you work independently, you will not be able to do it for a long time." Except for Anle and Lisheng, the other theaters are not in good locations and the facilities are not good. If "Fist of Heroes" were released in Jiahe Cinema, it would have exceeded 10 million by now."
Yang Ye said noncommittally: "Everyone is fighting for their breath. If you want to use theaters to manipulate me, that won't work. To tell you the truth, I have invited Ti Lung to star in my new film. Ti Lung is the mainstay of Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers are willing to lend me Ti Lung. You don’t need to tell me more, right? I’ll go to Shaw Brothers to show it.”
Zou Wenhuai said: "Ah Ye, now that we have opened up, let's talk about your conditions."
Yang Ye said: "When "Shaolin Temple" was screened, it was made clear that the copyright of "Shaolin Temple" belongs to Me. Now that you have secretly re-screened "Shaolin Temple" without my consent, you must pay me back the box office earned."
Zou Wenhuai almost vomited blood. After working so hard to screen it for so long, now you have to pay it back?
He Guanchang said: "Can't we settle the accounts like this? Our cost of re-screening is also very high."
"Then I don't care, I didn't let you let it go." Yang Yeyi He Guanchang was so angry that he couldn't get enough oil and salt.
Zou Wenhuai said: "Apart from this, do you have any other requests?"
Yang Ye said: "No, I will only take back what I should ask for. As long as you lose money, then Bai Yang's next movie will be It will continue to be released in Jiahe."
Zou Wenhuai heard that there was something in Yang Ye's words and couldn't help but laugh: "Aye, it's boring to play word games, right? Is it the next movie or the one starring you? What about the movie? If we lose money, you can throw a movie at me and show it to me. Who am I going to ask for explanation?"
Yang Ye gave a thumbs up and grinned: "Sure enough, Jiang is still old. Spicy, I corrected it, the next movie I will star in will be released in Jiahe theaters."
Zou Wenhuai said: "Is it written in the contract?"
Yang Ye said: "Of course! In fact, the next movie of our Baiyang Pictures is also good, although it is not starring me. Just wait and make money."
Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Aaron's movie is indeed good , but it’s not that interesting compared to Aye’s movie.”
Yang Ye smiled and said, “So Boss Zou promised to pay?”
Zou Wenhuai sighed: “Say. Come on, it's true that we at Jiahe are not kind. Moreover, we have to fight this lawsuit, and we don't know how much it will cost. Instead of doing this, we should make a good relationship with you and find a friendly and cooperative one. "Opportunity."
When Jiahe was just established, Wang Yu was hired to film "The One-Armed Sword King", but Shaw Brothers sued the court for infringement. Both parties refused to admit defeat, and the lawsuit lasted for several years. Millions have been spent on legal fees alone, so it would be better to lose money in the first place.
Zou Wenhuai learned this lesson and decided to give in. Anyway, as long as Ye-Ken Yeung continues to screen films in Golden Harvest, he will make money from one movie.
Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" and "Fist of Heroes" have been hits in succession, and there is no reason why the third one will be a hit.
And the third part invited Lin Qingxia and Xu Feng, as well as some mysterious superstars, and Ti Lung, plus Yang Ye himself, this cast is also quite luxurious, it would be strange if it doesn't sell well.
He Guanchang said: "Aye, what is the name of your next movie?"
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "I haven't decided on the name yet."
"Isn't it an adaptation of a famous novel?"
"It's just a gimmick."
"How do I sign the contract?"
Yang Ye said with a strange smile: "If I Just fill in the title of the film and then never make this movie. How do you think about it?"
"Uh..." He Guanchang was confused by Yang Ye.
Yang Ye said: "How about writing the next movie that I will star in from the date the contract comes into effect? Is that rigorous enough?"
Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at each other and nodded. According to this wording, it would be impossible for Yang Ye to cheat even if he deliberately made a cameo appearance in a movie.
Yang Ye sighed: "Actually, there is really no need for this. We all do business with integrity. As long as you don't mess with me, I don't have to fight with you. Isn't it good to make money happily together? I still want to do it now. It’s really tiring to use such words!”
Zou Wenhuai raised his glass and said with a smile: “Aye is indeed a cheerful person. In this case, the past unpleasantness will be over, and we will be honest from now on. What do you think about cooperation with us, let’s discuss anything and make the film business bigger and stronger together?”
Yang Ye said: “It’s best not to have Aaron’s movie waiting for theaters. Now that we have made peace, I will worry less. To be honest, it is very tiring to run that temporary theater chain. I have to do it as a last resort. Who is willing to go through all the troubles when I can just sit back and make money? Say yes! ”
Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Exactly!"
A few days later, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement, and Jiahe returned the more than 9 million earned from the next two rounds of re-releases of "Shaolin Temple" to Yang Ye.
Hong Jingbao’s new film will also be released at Golden Harvest Cinema soon.
If this were not the case, Yang Ye really didn’t know where to show Hong Jingbao’s movie, and setting up a temporary theater chain would definitely not work.
I came here because Yang Ye, who plays the leading role, can make a lot of money in the New Year. Who usually plays with you? I can’t even finish the movies I imported.
