Chapter 134 Two-Year Promise
Baiyang Brokerage Company has just opened, and the annual Lunar New Year festival is here.
This year's Lunar New Year stall is not interesting. Yang Ye is not here, Chen Long is not here, and Xu Guanwen is not here either.
Xu Guanwen has no movie released this year, and Golden Harvest almost has no cards to play with.
Fortunately, there was a man named Mecca who opened a Pioneer Film Company and filmed a movie called "Mian Dao Xin Jing", which was released at Golden Harvest Cinema and sold more than 2 million at the box office.
At this time, Mecca had just returned from studying film in the United States. He was an out-and-out Beatle, wearing bell-bottom pants, a floral shirt, and most importantly... he had long, shiny, black, wavy hair.
This movie also stars Hong Jingbao, but Yang Ye doesn't care about this. It's your ability to get roles outside.
Yang Ye’s philosophy is: People who don’t allow others to make money must have something wrong with their heads!
The Lunar New Year movie released by Shaw Brothers is still starring Ti Lung. "The Moon and the Knife on a Snowy Night" adapted from Gu Long's novel "The Prodigal Son of the Border Town" has a box office of more than 1 million.
Good guy, Ti Lung starred in three Cologne movies in one year. He also guest-starred as Fu Hongxue in another Cologne movie "The Sword of the Third Young Master" and as Huang Yaoshi in Jin Yong's movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
I’m really not afraid of exhausting him to death!
At Baiyang Cinema, Yang Ye originally asked Chen Long and Hong Jingbao to shoot a film for release, but there was no time and they had to catch up with the Spring Festival.
Fortunately, a colorful film company came to Baiyang Cinemas with their new film "Foxbat", hoping to release it.
Fun Film Company is the production company of the aforementioned "Dance of the Ashes", the pioneer of the new wave of Hong Kong films.
The boss of this film company is Ye Zhiming. Ye Zhiming originally ran a clothing company. Because he was approached by Xiao Fangfang, he invested in the filming of "Dancing from the Ashes", which was a box office hit and made a lot of money. .
So he became interested in movies and founded a colorful film company, which was different from his previous colorful fashion company.
Yip Chi Ming was very at odds with Golden Harvest, so "Dance to Ashes" was released at Ritz Cinemas at the time.
Rays Cinema Line is undoubtedly a weaker line than Shaw Brothers Cinemas or Golden Harvest Cinemas.
The main reason is that the location and number of theaters are insufficient. On the other hand, the owner of the theater chain, Lei Juekun, is a pure businessman. He spends most of his time on real estate, gold speculation, stocks and other businesses. He didn't have much interest in theater management. As time went by, power gradually fell into the hands of some subordinates.
In the original time and space, Ye Zhiming saw clearly these weaknesses of Lydia Cinemas, and started to use crowdfunding methods to establish his base for film distribution with Lydia Cinemas as the core.
Because the movies produced by Colorful Film Company performed well at the box office, they quickly recruited a group of Western movie theaters to join the company. In fact, a temporary theater chain was formed. Ye Zhiming even gave it a name, Lianhua Cinema Line.
During the three years from 1977 to 1979, Ye Zhiming was very popular. Many small companies would go to him for help when their films could not be released in theaters.
When Lei Juekun came to his senses, he organized his own Golden Princess Cinemas, pioneered the elimination of guaranteed guarantees and replaced it with a share-sharing system, removing the shackles on the heads of small film companies, and Ye Zhiming also It’s time to stop cooking.
However, in this current time and space, Ye Zhiming does not have to go through so many troubles. Yang Ye directly abolished the guaranteed system and created a theater chain that is more advanced than Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.
So, Jimmy Ye directly took his movie to Baiyang Cinema for screening.
"Foxbat" produced by Vivid Film Company is the first typical espionage action film produced with Chinese investment and taking an international approach in terms of subject matter. It is a bold attempt by Ye Zhiming.
Because the last movie he produced, "Leap of Ashes", although the domestic box office was very good, Taiwan and Southeast Asia were not interested in movies of this type because of the pure Hong Kong taste. In addition, these areas are very It attaches great importance to the cast, so the overseas box office is very average.
As a result, Ye Zhiming came up with a very bold and ambitious idea. He made "Foxbat" take an international route and invited Hollywood stars to star.
In this way, the difficulty of selling in the port can be overcome. With Hollywood stars, the selling price in the international port can be increased, and in Hong Kong, it can also create a good box office effect.
Unfortunately, the conception may not be in harmony with the facts. Yip Chi-ming's steps were too big and ridiculous. The investment in "Foxbat" was too large and it catered too much to foreign tastes. Hong Kong audiences did not buy it.
And this movie was too much of a 007 copycat, and overseas audiences didn’t like it either. It didn’t please both ends, and it was a complete loss.
But he lost money, and the local box office of more than two million was enough for Baiyang Cinema to make a small profit.
Yang Ye doesn’t just earn a little money from movie tickets, but also happy water and popcorn.
The business of Donglai Plaza is booming due to the tourists brought by the movie, allowing Yang Ye to earn a lot of rent.
By the way, Ye Zhiming also has a sister named Ye Yuqing, who is a famous porn star in Hong Kong.
……
At Yang Ye’s house, filming is still going on.
Xiao Ming’s family of four sat together to have dinner, and while eating, they discussed Xiao Ming’s discovery of the monster.
The mother smiled and asked her youngest son: "What are you going to dress up as for Halloween?"
Xiao Ming said gloomily: "I don't want to dress up as anything."
The elder brother joked: "Why don't you dress up as a little monster?"
Xiao Ming was so angry that he said angrily: "Shut up!"
My mother shook her head and said: "It's not us. I don’t believe you, Xiao Ming.”
“I’m telling the truth, I swear.”
My sister said in a sweet voice, “Maybe it’s an elf?”
My brother joked: "Maybe they are aliens!"
Xiao Ming was angry. He stood up and shouted: "No, you are talking about the train!" "Mingzi, sit down!" Mom suppressed. Said with a smile.
Xiao Ming sat down slumped, and after a while he said: "Dad will believe me."
Mom said: "Then you call your dad. ”
Xiao Ming said: "No, he and Aunt Ping are in Taiwan!"
My sister asked ignorantly: "Where is Taiwan?"
Their parents had just divorced, and their father was living with a girl named Ping. My aunt's people have gone to Taiwan.
After hearing this, my mother left the table sadly.
"If you encounter him again, no matter what it is, don't touch him. Call me and I will find someone to take him away."
Seeing that Xiao Ming made his mother angry, his brother said angrily: "I really want to beat you up!"
...
After a simple family scene was filmed, Yang Ye announced: "The scene in the family is The filming is over here. I have to go abroad tomorrow, so I will stop working for the next few days and get paid as usual. I will get back to work after New Year’s Day and shoot the scene of capturing the aliens.”
After hearing this, They all said goodbye to Yang Ye, then packed up and left.
One day later, Yang Ye set foot on North America alone.
After getting off the plane, Yang Ye did not leave the airport. He found a person holding a sign to pick him up and bought his sign.
I found a pen and paper again, wrote Yamaguchi Momoe’s name, and joined the crowd picking up the plane.
Three hours later, a small figure appeared in Yang Ye's field of vision.
Yang Ye waved the sign vigorously, and the little figure ran over happily and threw himself into Yang Ye's arms without any luggage.
In order to meet this time, Yang Ye and Yamaguchi Baihui specially booked flights at the same time.
The two kissed passionately for a while as if there was no one around. Yang Ye ran to get Yamaguchi Momoe's suitcase, dragged it with one hand and hugged the little beauty with the other, and left the airport.
The two took a taxi and arrived at the hotel they had booked in advance. They stayed in the bathroom, sofa, carpet, balcony and other places for forty minutes.
After waking up the next morning, the two of them stayed in bed and in the bathroom for forty minutes each before going downstairs to eat.
Due to too much exercise, Yamaguchi Momoe was very hungry and ate big mouthfuls.
Yang Ye couldn't help but stroked her hair lovingly, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Yamaguchi Momoe ate a piece of sushi and smiled sweetly at Yang Ye: "I'm very hungry!"
Yang Ye poured her a glass of water: "It's just because I'm too hungry, so I have to eat slowly!"
Momoe Yamaguchi groaned, feeling that the way she was eating was too indecent, so she took a sip of water and ate slowly.
After eating, Yang Ye paid the bill, took Yamaguchi Momoe's hand and said: "Let's go, Shay is still waiting for us."
Originally, Shay was going to send someone Pick up at the airport, but Yang Ye wanted to meet Yamaguchi Momoe and refused directly.
The two took a taxi. Yamaguchi Momoe rested her head on Yang Ye's shoulder and said, "Ye Jun, I don't want to leave you anymore, what should I do?"
In the past two years, the two of them have been busy separately. We have only met a few times, and the longest time was when Yang Ye went to promote "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" when it was released in Japan.
We usually rely on phone calls and letters to express our sincere thoughts and thoughts to each other.
Yang Ye doesn't know how to treat this cross-border love. Yamaguchi Momoe is sincere to him, but what can he give to the other party?
According to Yamaguchi Momoe’s original life trajectory, she could live a happy life.
Yang Ye said: "Momohui, have you ever thought that if you move to Hong Kong, it will be difficult to continue your career in Japan. After all, you are the most dazzling star in Japan and the idol of countless people. You are Countless people love you, how do you explain it to them?"
Momoe Yamaguchi said firmly: "Rather than being loved, I want to love myself. Before I become a singer, I want to be an ordinary person. "Ye Jun, I want to be a woman in front of you."
Yang Ye lamented in his heart. He couldn't bear to live up to this girl's true feelings. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Hui, You are still young, you..."
"I am eighteen years old!" Yamaguchi Momoe said firmly, "I understand that there is irresolvable hatred between our countries, and many people are opposed to it. We are together, but this does not affect our love. Ye Jun, Baihui's life is given by you, even if I go through all kinds of hardships, I will stay with you."
Yang Ye thought to himself. , the Tokyo police originally named the target of the assassination as Momoe Yamaguchi in order to make it nicer to say it. As a result, everyone thought it was me who took the bullet for Momoe.
This... is really a wonderful misunderstanding!
Yang Ye held up Yamaguchi Momoe's little face, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said, "Let's make a promise! Two years later, when you are twenty years old, If you still insist on this decision, then even if the whole world opposes it, I will take you to Hong Kong and never be separated from you again.”
“Really?” Really, I swear!”
“I will abide by this agreement. I want you to come to Tokyo to pick me up in two years!”
"It's a deal!"
