Chapter 147 Promoting New Concepts
"Along, Xiaohei, you two will design the scene about the riot in the square. Sanmao, you will direct. Aqiang, the crew will be left to you for the time being. I I have something to do with Afeng, so I have to leave."
Yang Ye directly delegated the power, explained it to Chen Long, Ke Shouliang, Hong Jingbao, and Chen Ziqiang, and left with Xu Feng.
As for Adjani, there are no scenes for her these days. She took time off to shoot a commercial.
Yang Ye and Xu Feng drove to the airport. After waiting for a while, among the crowd leaving the gate, a girl wearing a yellow dress and cut bangs excitedly waved to this side.
That is Xu Feng's sister Xu Jie. Xu Jie looks very similar to Xu Feng, but she is prettier than Xu Feng.
When King Hu was filming "Legend of the Mountain", Xu Jie went to South Korea to visit the cast. As a result, the Koreans ignored the two major actresses Xu Feng and Sylvia Chang and came to Xu Jie for autographs.
Of course, in this time and space's "Legend of the Mountain", Lin Qingxia replaced Zhang Sylvia, and Xu Jie did not have this treatment.
Xu Jie has big black eyes, plump lips, and a very pure and cute smile.
The two sisters have completely different temperaments. Xu Feng is very cold, while Xu Jie is softer.
This is because the two sisters have half-fathers. Xu Feng is a spoiler and has not been treated by her stepfather since she was a child, so her world is closed, while Xu Jie gets much more family care than Xu Feng.
Despite this, Xu Feng still loves this sister very much, and the relationship between the two sisters is also very good. At that time, Xu Feng had a huge debt, and Xu Jie went into filming to pay off the debt for his sister without saying a word.
Of course, the debt had been written off long ago because of Yang Ye's intervention, which made Xu Feng fall into Yang Ye's arms.
"Hello, Mr. Yang!" Xu Jie bowed respectfully to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye was stunned and said in surprise: "We are all a family, why are you so polite?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie changed his face in a second, took Yang Ye's arm affectionately and said: "I just thanked you for saving my sister from the fire pit and completely getting rid of that rotten person. Now start changing your words, brother-in-law!"
"Hahaha!" Yang Ye was delighted and said to Xu Feng: "Our little girl is so cute!"
Xu Jie let go of Yang Ye and said proudly: "Everyone says that about me."
< br>Xu Feng said helplessly: "She has been like this since she was a child."
Yang Ye took her luggage and said: "Let's go back to the hotel first, have something to eat, and then take a shower and sleep. ”
...
In the hotel room, Xu Jie just came out of the shower and said to Xu Feng: "Sister, help me blow down my hair."
Xu Feng took out the hair dryer and connected it to the line, whining. The hot air blew out, and Xu Jie's hair dried quickly under Xu Feng's fingers.
Xu Jie asked: "Sister, when will your wedding be held?"
"Tomorrow!"
"So soon?"
"Yes, we are waiting for you."
"Hey, will there be many celebrities attending the wedding?"
"No, only The family members of both parties are you.”
“Huh?”
"A Ye is an orphan!"
"Um...so I am the only witness to your wedding?"
"Yes!"
"Yang Ye is going too far. Right? Since I want to marry you, why don’t I let you see it?”
“I don’t want to. If Aye hadn’t insisted on you coming to witness it, I wouldn’t have told you.”< br>
"Ah? Why?" Xu Jie couldn't understand.
"Do you remember what the man named Ding said when he was making trouble? He called the police and said that in order to occupy me, Aye asked the underworld to beat him, force him to divorce, and also threatened him personally. At that time, There was a lot of commotion in Taiwan, and everyone knew that if I really married Aye, this matter would be confirmed in people's mouths, and it would have a great negative impact on Aye, maybe someone named Ding. After getting the news, he will return to Taiwan to cause trouble."
Yang Ye did not tell Xu Feng that Ding Deyang had been thrown into the Pacific to feed the sharks.
Xu Jie said: "So... you would rather wrong yourself?"
"I am not wronged! The luckiest thing in my life is meeting Aye, who gave me unparalleled love , as long as I can stay with him, I won’t care about anything.”
Xu Jie looked at Xu Feng's determined eyes and couldn't help but said: "Sister, you are so stupid!"
But Xu Jie can also understand. She has known her sister's life since she was sensible. She lived a very hard life, and since she was young, she couldn't do anything to help her. Instead, her sister had been taking care of her.
Now, after all the hardships, my sister has found her rightful husband, so it is normal for her to think only about her brother-in-law's reputation.
But she didn’t know that not announcing it was entirely Yang Ye’s idea to raise more fish.
In order to protect Yang Ye, Xu Feng took the initiative and took the blame and said it was his own idea.
Xu Jie said sincerely: "Sister, I wish you and your brother-in-law a happy wedding and a long life together!"
Xu Feng smiled and said: "We will!"
......
In a small church in the suburbs of Paris, Yang Ye and Xu Feng invited a priest to hold their wedding.
"Miss Xu Feng, do you want this man to be your husband and enter into a marriage contract with him? Love him, take care of him, and respect him regardless of sickness or health, poverty or wealth, or any other reason, Accept him and remain loyal to him until the end of your life?"
Xu Feng said with a smile: "I do!"
"Mr. Yang Ye, do you want this woman to be your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her? Regardless of illness or health, poverty or wealth, or any other reason, Love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her, and be loyal to her until the end of her life?"
"I do!" Yang Ye replied.
They exchanged rings and kissed each other. Xu Jie, the only guest attending the ceremony, applauded desperately.
"Sister and brother-in-law, when will you give birth to a baby for me to play with?"
Xu Feng said angrily: "Is the baby here to play with?"
"I don't care, anyway, I want to be an aunt."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Isn't it just a birth? Baby, isn’t this a matter of course? I’ll let you be my aunt next year. Remember to help me take care of the baby.”
"Wait a minute, I haven't asked your sister for her opinion yet! She said you need to give birth to a child."
"Yes, you know how to respect my sister and you are a good husband."
Yang Ye hugged Xu Feng and said, "Honey, let's have a baby, okay?" Xu Feng was totally willing to do this, so he nodded quickly and said good.
Yang Ye rubbed his hands and said impatiently: "Xiaojie, you can play by yourself, we are leaving!"
"Where are you going?"< br>
"Go back to the hotel to give birth to the baby. Don't run around and let's have dinner together tonight."
Yang Ye took Xu Feng and left, leaving Xu Jie alone and messy in the wind.
"Isn't this... too impatient? Anyway, I haven't visited Paris yet, so I won't disturb them and I will play by myself."
......
The two got up again, feeling refreshed and satisfied. They called Xu Jie, who lived next door, and left the hotel to find a restaurant for dinner.
The three of them were walking on the street. Xu Jie suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, someone is staring at us."
Yang Ye had noticed it a long time ago and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just ignore it. A few streets Your brother-in-law doesn’t take it seriously.”
Xu Jie thought the same thing. Her brother-in-law was very capable of beating her. Instead, she became looking forward to it, thinking: Those gangsters came to tease me, and then they were beaten by my brother-in-law. If everything falls into pieces, that's fun.
After walking a few steps, those gangsters really came closer. Yang Ye quickly protected the two sisters behind him and said warily: "Is something wrong?"
These gangsters have There were about ten people, both white and black. When the leader saw that Yang Ye could speak French, he quickly asked happily: "Are you Nick Yang?"
Yang Ye felt relieved, damn, he turned out to be a fan, and said: "Yes, I am!"
The group of young people looked at each other and were overjoyed. Suddenly, they knelt down on the ground and faced Yang. Ye knelt down and worshiped.
Sisters Yang Ye and Xu Feng were dumbfounded. Yang Ye said: "What are you doing?"
The young man said: "We heard that this is a way for the Chinese to show respect. Etiquette. We watched your "Fist of Heroes", my God, it is a masterpiece, so we want to salute you and express our admiration."
Yang Ye said. , So that’s what happened. I didn’t expect that after time and space changed, French youths would still be such sluts.
When Jet Li's "Fist of Heroes" was released, it caused a sensation overseas. When director Chen Jia went to attend the Cannes Film Festival, he was stopped by fifteen French youths and asked him if he was the director of "Fist of Heroes". After receiving a positive answer, , they knelt on the ground, knelt down to Chen Jia and thanked him for making such a good movie.
It seems that God has his own will. Even if time and space change, this kind of nonsense must be staged.
Yang Ye murmured: "It's really interesting. This is like a remake of a movie. Similar things will always happen, but some details will be changed."
But what he said was very interesting. In a low voice that others could not hear clearly, Yang Ye said to Sister Xu Feng: "It's okay, they are my fans and are greeting me with Chinese etiquette."
Yang Ye said, happily Several young men helped her up, took pictures, signed autographs, and made a fuss for a while, then they went away happily.
Watching the group of people disappear at the corner of the street, Xu Jie exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, you are so awesome! If this matter is reported, it will definitely be serious."
"What good is a small thing? You're welcome, let's go eat!" Yang Ye said, dragging the two sisters into a restaurant...
Yang Ye clamped the snail shell with pliers, and then used a double-tine fork to remove the meat inside. Take it out, put it in your mouth and chew it.
Eating this thing is really troublesome, but eating snails is more enjoyable.
"Xiaojie, I heard from your sister that you are also an actor now?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do after graduation. Last year, my sister introduced me to the movie "Shining Days", starring Liu Wenzheng and Sylvia Chang. However, it was only released for two days before being withdrawn."
"Ah, why? Liu Wenzheng is very popular, right?"
"Liu Wenzheng's fans couldn't accept the ending of the movie and ran to make trouble, which affected the theater's business, so the theater canceled the movie."< br>
At this time, Taiwan was still operating a guarantee system. All theaters had the final say, and the producers had no choice but to do anything.
"Taiwanese movies are not going anywhere. Why don't you come to Hong Kong to develop? Your sister is now switching careers to be a paper artist. You can help her."
"I have come to Hong Kong. Although the movie "Shining Days" was only released for two days, I was spotted by a Hong Kong director. He asked me to shoot a martial arts movie, and I also became a heroine. Where is the protagonist?"
Yang Ye searched for information and found that Xu Jie had no movie released in 1978, so he asked: "Which director and what movie?"
Xu Jie said: "Director Tan Jiaming, the movie is called. "The Famous Sword."
Yang Ye was shocked. "The Famous Sword" is a famous "New Wave" movie. Although it did not do well at the box office, it was widely praised in the industry.
At that time, most of Shaw Brothers' movies were interior scenes, which were very fake. However, Tan Jiaming used a lot of natural scenes. The pictures were beautiful, and the color, light and shadow were very well matched.
There are no more than three main colors in each picture, and the calm picture of blue light is mainly used, which opened the way for the aesthetics of later Hong Kong movies. Later Galaxy Image films often used this tone.
In addition to fighting, the martial arts design also includes a lot of leaping in the air, which is very beautiful when combined with the fluttering clothes. This movie also allowed the martial arts director Cheng Xiaodong to show his talent for the first time.
Director Tan Jiaming himself is a very powerful editor. He shoots from multiple angles, shooting from above and looking down, and combines it with innovative editing to give the audience a novel feeling.
However, the plot of the movie is very average, rambling, and the rhythm is very poor. This is one of the reasons why it did not explode at the box office.
“Which company produced this movie and who else is starring in it?”
"Jiahe. The male protagonist is Qiu Guan, and the villain is Xu Shaoqiang."
Yang Ye thought to himself: The lineup has not changed. In this way, Tan Jiaming has conceived the movie "The Famous Sword" for a long time.
Is it because I recruited the Seven Little Fortunes in advance that Jiahe had no cards to play with, so Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to find another way out, thus giving birth to this movie in advance?
"The Famous Sword" is Tan Jiaming's directorial debut. If "The Famous Sword" can be released in advance, will Xu Ke, Xu Anhua and Yan Hao also be released in advance?
Oh, Xu Anhua is in my hands now.
Okay, give her a chance when you get back.
Yang Ye thought for a while and asked: "Has this movie been released?"
Xu Feng shook his head: "It's coming soon, they said it would be released before your "Alien" , so as not to get into trouble with you.”
“Well, if I don’t finish painting after I go back, I’ll go see your movie.” It has been released in Hong Kong. The movie is scheduled to be released on August 13th. It is still two months away and the advertisements are already everywhere.
In order to build momentum, this time they also made a gimmick of simultaneous global release, and the momentum was amazing!
Under this situation, other film companies in Hong Kong were all numb, and they chose to avoid it and advance or postpone the schedule of their own movies.
But August is the best time of the year. Whether it is advanced or postponed, it means huge economic losses.
The bosses of the film company had already secretly cursed Yang Ye eight hundred times for giving birth to a son without a penis.
However, Jiang Zhiqiang of Baiyang Cinemas approached the production companies at this time and promoted a new concept to them called "heating the market."
In the conference room of Baiyang Cinema Line, Jiang Zhiqiang said: "Our theater chain has a rule that no matter how popular a movie is, the screening rate cannot exceed 60%. Even if it is Mr. Yang's own movie, it must abide by it.
< br>There will be a situation where when audiences flock to our cinemas to watch "Alien", there are no seats, or they have to wait for a long time. Then... will they not want to go to the theater in vain? Or are you too lazy to wait and buy a ticket for another movie to pass the time?
Of course this is not possible in single theaters because they can only show one movie at a time. But in our theater chains. Multiple movies can be screened at the same time. Therefore, Mr. Yang’s movies are not a disaster, but an opportunity.
With Mr. Yang’s movies attracting attention and gathering crowds, everyone can bring their own movies at the same time. It’s pretty good to watch the show and have some soup with it.”
