Chapter 117 The paint on the golden body is about to peel off
Many years later, Brother Kaizi’s biggest golden body is the Palme d’Or in “Farewell My Concubine”, the only Chinese film.
Now that Yang Ye and Hu Jinquan have jointly won the first place with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Brother Kaizi's golden body may be peeling off.
As the producers of the film, Yang Ye and Xie went on stage together to receive the trophy and certificate.
At the dinner party in Cannes, Yang Ye and Xie talked about the filming of "Alien" while dealing with the insiders who came to chat with them.
Xie said: "I went to London and planned to shoot this movie at Shepparton Studios. There are many discounts for filming here, which can save a lot of money."
Yang Ye nodded, no Have an opinion. He was unwilling to dictate these trivial matters. If Shay couldn't even handle these matters, then he was not qualified to be his partner.
“Due to the limited budget, I met many young directors. There was a guy named Ridley Scott who was very interesting. I told him that I wanted to make a science fiction movie, and he listened to the general idea. After the story, he told me that it should be made into a horror film."
When Yang Ye heard this, he thought: Sure enough, God's will, the director of "Alien" fell on Ridley. ·Scott's head.
Historically, the directors of every "Alien" film were newcomers to the film industry, but without exception, they all grew up to be top Hollywood directors.
For example, this Ridley Scott later made a series of masterpieces such as "Blade Runner", "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down", "The Martian"...
Yang Ye secretly praised Xie Yi for his vision, but said: "Oh? Then this guy is really interesting!"
Xie Yi said: "Do you want to meet him? I think this story is What you created, if you talk to him, it will be helpful to our movie."
Yang Ye said: "Okay, you can invite him to my Paris concert. I can talk to him then. Let’s talk.”
“OK! OK!”
...
The news that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Palme d'Or made the entertainment headlines in Hong Kong and Taiwan news the next day.
However, this movie has already swept the Oscars before, and now winning the Palme d'Or is just the icing on the cake.
The impact is to raise the expectations of the audience who are looking forward to this movie again.
Hu Jinquan said: "The expectations of Hong Kong and Taiwan audiences are probably full now."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "There's no rush, I've been waiting for so long anyway. Let's just use this time to do enough publicity and release it in the summer."
Hu Jinquan was stunned: "How else to promote it? ”
In his opinion, winning consecutive Oscars and Cannes awards is already the greatest publicity.
Yang Ye said: "Have you noticed the changes in Hollywood in the past two years? The traditional method in the past was to release small-scale screenings across the country and then expand little by little. The limit of a thousand copies of a movie can be produced. But What now? "Jaws" premiered in more than a thousand theaters, and all kinds of publicity were overwhelming, trying to attract the audience to the theaters as soon as possible. Regardless of the film's reputation, we first put the money in our pockets. "
“You want to learn what Hollywood does?”
"Of course, I will take advantage of the opportunity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win awards at Cannes and Oscars to promote it to the extreme. After I go back this time, I want TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, buses, and street light signs to all display "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The advertisements for "Dragon" are overwhelming regardless of cost!"
"Is this... necessary?"
"Yes, Baiyang Cinema is about to open, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the The first movie released in theaters must get off to a good start."
When Yang Ye said this, Hu Jinquan understood and quickly nodded in agreement.
Yang Ye said again: "Old Hu, you have many connections in Taiwan. After you go back this time, I would like you to run around and find a way out. You must let "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" pass without any cuts. Review. Note that it must be done without any cuts, because I want to destroy Qingxia’s image of a pure and beautiful woman in Taiwan.”
"Why is this?"
"Because Qingxia still has a contract with Qiong Yao's superstar company for several years. If Qingxia's image of a beautiful girl is shattered, she will not be able to make those bad Qiong Yao movies. She wants to follow It will be much easier for Qiong Yao to terminate the contract.”
With Lin Qingxia’s qualifications, no director would dislike her, and Hu Jinquan is already planning to find Lin Qingxia to shoot his next movie. But Lin Qingxia was in Superstar Company, and it was very troublesome to keep filming those Qiong Yao films. If Hu Jinquan wanted to borrow someone, he had to see if Qiong Yao was unhappy.
The filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" this time was entirely due to Yang Ye's scheming to deceive Qiong Yao.
Qiong Yao will probably be furious after knowing the truth. Next time she invites Lin Qingxia, Qiong Yao will definitely refuse to let her go.
Hu Jinquan thought for a while and said: "Then I will go find Liu Jiachang. He has a very good relationship with the second son. Now is not the era of the old president. Jianfeng is more open-minded. In addition, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won such a I have a lot of hope.”
“Please!”
“I will try my best!”
……
Nothing after all. Fall a tear
Your smile makes me relax
I try to find some comfort
What I want is to be snuggled tightly in your arms
For a long time Remember, your warm body temperature
The train that is leaving, comes from me
Go away...
Go away...
At the Paris concert, Yang Ye sang a French song at the end.
The song "The Departing Train" is a farewell to this grand event.
This is the last stop. When Yang Ye returns to Hong Kong, this tour concert will come to an end.
In the evening, in the hotel, Yang Ye and Adjani were in love with each other.
Due to the blessing of divine power, no one understands women’s body structure better than Yang Ye, and no one knows how to make women happy in this matter better than him!
So, once you have had a relationship with Yang Ye, it will be difficult to forget him.
"I thought we would never see each other again. Until you sang the song "The Disappearing Train" at the concert, I still couldn't help but meet you. That was... written to me Song! "
Ajani murmured while lying in Yang Ye's arms.
When Adjani left, she didn't even leave her contact information.
However, when she learned that Yang Ye was holding a concert in Paris, she couldn't help but buy a ticket.
And when Yang Ye sang that song, his eyes passed through the sea of thousands of people and looked in the direction where she was. All her longings finally couldn't be suppressed...
"Actually, it's very simple to find your contact information. After all, you are a famous French rose." Yang Ye said while hugging Adjani.
"Then why didn't you come to me?" "I wasn't sure if you wanted to see me or not, so I planned to ask around first. I didn't expect you to show up at the concert. In the sea of thousands of people, I saw you at a glance. You.”
"Haha!"
The two kissed for a long time, and Adjani asked: "When will you return to Hong Kong?"
"Soon, My theater chain and martial arts gym are about to open.”
“Martial arts gym?”
"Yes, since I became famous, many people wanted to be my apprentice, and some wanted to challenge me, which was very troublesome. Then I decided to open a martial arts gym. If it is run well, it can also be a business."
“Can you teach Wing Chun?”
“Yes!”
“When will it open?”
“It’s summer vacation!”
"Can I go and participate?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Learn Wing Chun!"
"Haha, I taught you, and you still Remember?”
“Of course you remember, I’ll show you!”
Adjani got up, put on her clothes, and made a set of "little thoughts", and it seemed to be the same.
Yang Ye was amused and asked: "Do you want to make a kung fu movie?"
"Can I do it?"
"Of course!"
" Shooting with you?”
"I can be a director, but I don't plan to star in a movie in the past two years."
"Why?"
"I signed an agreement with someone else. If I star in a movie, It will be released in his theater chain."
Ajani frowned and said, "So you won't star in the movie because you don't fulfill the contract?"
"You think I am a cheater. ?”
"A little!" Adjani said truthfully.
"I am indeed cheating. We were partners at that time, but now we have become competitors. I have also opened a theater chain. In order to compete for film sources, I cannot let people misunderstand that I have a relationship with them. Therefore, I have no choice but to not star in movies until I defeat them. The competition in business is very cruel, and I can only do this in order to ensure my own survival."
"That's it, you are very frank. , can you show me the script?"
"Yes, but the plots of action movies are generally relatively simple, and the excitement lies in the choreography of the action."
"But. I watched your "Fist of Heroes" before and the plot was very deep."
"It's different this time. I want to make a kung fu comedy. Many things have to be improvised and cannot be directly reflected in the script. Alas, this...it's hard to explain clearly. You can tell me after I finish the script!"
Actually, what Yang Ye and Adjani said was suspected of betraying them.
Yang Ye's decision not to star in the movie is certainly due to Jiahe, but more importantly, he has too many things to do in the next two years.
First, Chen Long’s kung fu movies from the early Republic of China have almost finished filming. If he really wants to break into the world market, he should make fashion kung fu movies. Yang Ye had also promised a long time ago that he would personally direct a movie for his senior brothers. This was a promise he could not break.
Second, Yang Ye had planned to harvest Spielberg's wool early in the morning. Time was tight and it would be too late if he didn't do it.
Third, Yang Ye has just gotten involved in commercial real estate, so he cannot leave everything to Lin Baocheng. Yang Ye has to make many decisions himself.
Fourth, we need to find people to manage the newly opened theater chains and martial arts gyms, and next year we may even get involved in TV stations and record companies.
With so many things going on and so much complexity, Yang Ye really doesn’t have the energy to star in another movie.
After all, Yang Ye’s films strive for excellence, and there will be no half a year before they can’t be made.
This is why Yang Ye told Deng Lijun before that he would not leave Hong Kong in the next two years.
But there is no need to tell Adjani about so many complicated and complicated things, it is better to suffer misfortune!
The French love to make art films. Adjani has never made a commercial film in her life. It is not easy to convince her to make a kung fu film with no connotation.
So Yang Ye made several preparations, and being miserable was just one of them.
Since this woman has some feelings for him, she may help him when she sees the pressure she is under in business competition.
If that doesn’t work, there are other ways.
The next day, Yang Ye met the future great director Ridley Scott.
This guy is still a newbie now, and he was very excited to see Yang Ye. He told Yang Ye that he had watched "Fist of Heroes" twenty times.
Yang Yexin said, then you are not as good as Quentin. Quentin watched it forty times and later copied it into a copy of "Kill Bill".
Yang Ye briefly talked to Ridley about the original intention of the film.
“Have you seen "Jaws"? In the movie, there are very few scenes where the great white shark actually appears, but the director perfectly expressed the film through exquisite layout, just right rendering and the wonderful performance of the actors. The thrilling effect makes the audience feel restless. ”
"My current idea is...to place the story background of "Jaws" in the infinite universe. Then let the crew face unknown fears in a small space. The hidden aliens are escaping in the darkness, and from time to time they appear. Suddenly burst out, the crew members were eaten alive one by one, and we will never know where the danger came from, when it came, and why it came..."
Yang Ye told Reid while speaking and gesturing. Benefit your own intentions.
Listening to Yang Ye personally explaining to him the mystery of this matter, Ridley felt enlightened. Many things that he had not understood before were now suddenly understood.
“I will do my best to make this movie a success!” Ridley said solemnly.
