Chapter 190 Adult Fairy Tale
The Hong Kong audience is much more familiar with "The Swordsman" than the audience at Cannes, and it is easier to get the fun of the movie, so the whole movie watching process is just one word : It’s so exciting!
Especially every time the Dugu Nine Swords appear, there are endless voices of admiration such as "Monkey beat thunder!" and "Monkey shit!"
At the end of the movie, when the scene was frozen amidst the sky full of colorful clouds, the auditorium burst into endless applause.
This movie really makes the audience happy!
Because it was a premiere and the main creator had to take the stage for the curtain call, everyone sat calmly and did not leave.
When the subtitles finished, the screen suddenly went dark and the Easter egg appeared.
The audience suddenly exclaimed: "There's more!"
"It turns out to be a preview of the next episode!"
"I'm sorry, Dongfang Invincible is such a dick. ! ”
"Who acted?"
"I don't know!"
The lights in the theater came on, and Yang Ye led the main creators onto the stage and bowed to everyone.
Then there will be a question and answer session, in which ten questions will be answered according to convention.
The audience reacted very enthusiastically, raising their hands to ask questions. Yang Ye was very good at taking care of the fans' emotions, so he did not order a beautiful woman, but an average-looking woman.
Na Pu Nu was so excited that she stood up and shouted: "Young Master Yang, I like you so much!"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "I like you too, but please ask questions!"
"Wow!" Na Pu girl, as well as many female fans present, screamed, asking questions and so on, their minds were already confused, and they asked nonsense.
Yang Ye had no choice but to order another handsome boy. As soon as the handsome boy stood up, he shouted: "Young Master Yang, I really like you too!"
"Hahahahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter on and off the stage.
Yang Ye covers his face, is there no fucking normal person?
Seeing that it was about to go on, the host quickly came to the rescue: "It seems that these two movie fans are not ready yet. Why don't we ask Mr. Jin Yong to comment on this movie. What do you think?"
“Good news!”
Everyone applauded.
Jin Yong is not good at words. He took the microphone and thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, my novels are not arrogant at all. They are a state of longing for something but not getting it. But this movie is completely the opposite. , bringing the four words "Swordsman and Proud Jianghu" into full play. I want to ask the director, what is your starting point for doing this? "
The atmosphere at the scene became a little tense. Jin Yong, as the original author, came up and said I have a question, is this because I am dissatisfied with the movie, and do I want to launch an army to hold him accountable?
Yang Ye said: "I think martial arts novels are fairy tales for adults. Since they are fairy tales, they should have a happy ending. So when I adapted this work, I also retained some elements of the original work. It’s a political metaphor, but what’s more important is how to make the audience happy!”
“An adult fairy tale?” Jin Yong chewed on this sentence repeatedly and praised it: “A very exquisite discussion!”
In August 1979, the great mathematician Hua Luogeng was lecturing at the University of Birmingham in the UK. He happened to meet the martial arts master Liang Yusheng, and the two had a very happy conversation.
Hua Luogeng is a fan of martial arts and has read all Jin Guliang's novels. At that time, he was reading "The Yunhai Jade Bow" by Liang Yusheng.
Liang Yusheng asked Hua Luogeng what he thought of martial arts novels.
Hua Luogeng believes that martial arts novels are fairy tales for adults.
Hua Luogeng's exquisite discussion of martial arts novels was not disclosed until 1988 in a memoir article by Liang Yusheng, and was recognized by the majority of martial arts readers.
Now, this sentence is equivalent to being plagiarized by Yang Ye in advance.
The statement "Martial arts novels are adult fairy tales" made the guests and the audience marvel at it and applauded enthusiastically.
After the applause subsided, Jin Yong continued: "I think that Little Friend Yang Ye perfectly integrates Linghu Chong's heroic Jianghu spirit and the bohemian spirit of the marketplace. This is the most successful Jin Yong movie so far. I Very satisfied!”
“Oh bang bang bang...”
The original author gave a thumbs up, and Yang Ye’s fans cheered and applauded enthusiastically.
The host asked Huang Zhan to comment again. Huang Zhan said: "I like the theme song of this movie very much. "Le Zhi" says 'Great happiness will come easily', but your song uses Gong Shang instead." Jiao Zhengyu composed this song, which is impassioned and full of vicissitudes of the world. What is the name of this song? ”
Yang Ye smiled and said: "It's called "A Laugh in the Sea"."
"What a good name. I suspect you made this movie for this song."
"That's right. , this song is like a bottle of good sand tea sauce, so I went to Mr. Jin Yong to buy beef."
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed again.
Southerners eat less dumplings, so Yang Ye uses Shacha sauce to make beef, instead of Jiang Wen's famous saying: "It's just for this vinegar that I make the dumplings."
The comments from several celebrities set a good example, making it easier for fans to ask questions later.
According to the rules, Yang Ye only answered half of the questions and gave the remaining opportunities to others.
Zhang Xueyou, Chen Yulian, Guan Zhilin and Hui Yinghong all got the opportunity to show their faces.
To sum up, besides the praise of "The Swordsman", the question that everyone is most interested in is: Who is the Dongfang Invincible?
Naturally, Yang Ye wanted to tell the truth and refused to tell anyone. He just told everyone: "There is a surprise in the sequel!"
At the end of the premiere, of course, Yang Ye sang the theme song "A Laugh in the Sea".
The sea is smiling, and the tide is rolling on both sides of the strait. Ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering the present.
The sky smiles, and the world is full of tides. God knows who will lose and who will win.
The country is smiling, and the misty rain is far away. The waves sweep away all the beauties in this mortal world
The breeze laughs, causing loneliness. There is still a night photo left of the pride.
The common people laugh and are no longer lonely. The pride is still smiling foolishly.
La la la la la...
"Come on, everyone sing with me! La la la la la, la la la la la..."
This" "La la la la" is so amazing that there is no need to learn it at all. The whole audience waved their hands and followed Yang Ye and started "la la la la la...".
The premiere of "The Swordsman" ended successfully in this cheerful atmosphere.
......
The next day, newspapers all over the city reported on the grand premiere of "The Swordsman".
The saying "Martial arts novels are adult fairy tales" has also become widely circulated.
After waiting for so long, Yang Ye’s movie fans were already thirsty. As soon as the theater started releasing tickets, they rushed in one after another.
Suddenly, there were long queues in Jiahe and Baiyang theaters, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
When the box office came out on the first day, the industry was dumbfounded, it was 3.12 million!
In just one day, nearly 400,000 people went to watch this movie.
Of course, this is mainly due to the power of dual screenings, which fully unleashes the needs of the audience.
If it is only released in Baiyang theaters, it will not be able to achieve this power.
Zou Wenhuai looked at the box office results and was both happy and worried. He was happy because he was making a lot of money, but he was worried that he couldn't win the battle because his opponent was too strong.
He Guanchang sighed: "If we didn't trip up Yang Ye in the first place..."
Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said: "We are destined to be unable to control people like A Ye. Even without the original discord, he would still have left."
He Guanchang thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true."
Zou Wenhuai looks at the problem more thoroughly than him and acts more decisively than him. . Therefore, he has always been Jiahe's second-in-command. The two have worked together for many years. Zou Wenhuai has always been making decisions, while He Guanchang is responsible for execution.
While the two were discussing, a lady in her forties walked into the office and said, "Brother Wen, I just got the news that another movie starring Yang Ye will be released in August." This woman's name is Liu Lianghua. The shareholders of Jiahe are mainly responsible for administrative work.
Liu Lianghua was a female star of Shaw Brothers when she was young. She was very beautiful and later married the great director Luo Wei.
After Luo Wei took Liu Lianghua to join Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai fell in love with Liu Lianghua, and the two fell in love.
Liu Lianghua kicked Luo Wei and became Zou Wenhuai's mistress.
In the original time and space, this woman also helped Zou Wenhuai snatch Chen Long from Luo Wei.
Although Luo Wei himself has problems as a person, his wife and general were robbed, and no one would say anything bad about him.
Zou Wenhuai said strangely: "When did Yang Ye star in a movie? How come I didn't know about it?"
Liu Lianghua said: "It's a Japanese movie called "A Hundred Men Kill the Girl", starring It's Yang Ye and Yamaguchi Momoe. Hong Jingbao also participated."
He Guanchang said: "I remember that Yang Ye disappeared for two months at the beginning of the year. It turned out that he was filming a movie in Japan." br>
Zou Wenhuai frowned and said: "That's a big cast! Judging from the title of the film, it seems that Yamaguchi Momoe is the first protagonist."
He Guanchang smiled and said: "That should be Aye's work on picking up girls. "
Zou Wenhuai said thoughtfully: "It seems that what Aye said is true."
Liu Lianghua said: "What?"
Zou Wenhuai said: " Last time at the premiere of "The Swordsman", Ah Ye once said that as long as the salary is reasonable and the script is suitable, he can be hired to make a movie. I thought he was just talking casually, but now it seems that it can be realized. .”
Liu Lianghua was surprised: "How much is the salary?"
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "Money is a trivial matter. As long as you hire him, you can make it back. But he himself is a great director and screenwriter, and ordinary scripts I'm afraid he doesn't like it."
He Guanchang said: "Actually, there was an intention to invite Aye to cooperate with Warner this time, but we thought it was impossible, so we gave up."
Zou Wenhuai said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long term, but this matter also provides us with a new idea.
In the past, we used the Shaw Brothers method and tightly controlled our own artists. Yes, except for some satellite companies, they are absolutely not allowed to accept other people's dramas
But Aye has opened an artist management company, and his artists are completely open to the outside world. As long as you pay enough, even he himself can come out to take roles.
So I think, in fact, we don’t need to fight against Aye, cooperation is more cost-effective.
Baiyang Company has male stars with great box office appeal such as A Ye, A Long, A Biao and Sanmao, as well as a lot of popular female stars such as Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi.
If you can’t find a suitable role for a movie in the future, it would be a good idea to go directly to Baiyang Agency to hire someone. ”
Hong Kong is a port city, and the most profitable business is cargo transshipment, so it is easy to think that it is better to buy than to make.
Many people want to make quick money quickly without any long-term planning.
This is why once Hong Kong actors become famous, they will shoot more than a dozen movies a year and work in various movies.
Even a hero like Zou Wenhuai will inevitably have such thoughts.
……
I can’t live this life.
During the summer vacation, there was no one in the cinema.
On one side, the theaters of Baiyang and Golden Harvest were full, and on the other side, the Shaw Theater was deserted.
Shao Yifu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
He is getting old, and he is really unwilling to let the film career he has loved all his life end with this ending.
But what can he do?
Yang Ye's martial arts films have evolved to such an extent, but people like Chu Yuan and Zhang Che still only make those cliched indoor martial arts films with fake mountains and water.
The Shaw Brothers movie released at the same time as "The Swordsman" is "Peacock Dynasty" starring David Jiang and Yu An'an. This movie is adapted from Gu Long's novel "A History of the Martial Arts".
As a result, the box office did not reach 1 million, and it was hurriedly completed within a week of its release.
I changed it to a romance film, focusing on differentiated competition, but it still has nothing to do with it.
Shao Yifu frowned and said to Fang Yihua: "Ah Hua, do you think we can make a movie like "The Swordsman"?"
Fang Yihua thought for a while and said: "People like Zhang Che and Chu Yuan have been making martial arts films for more than ten years. Their thinking has long been formed into habits and it is difficult to change. Unless we train new people, but that doesn't happen overnight."
These two people have different ideas from Zou Wenhuai. The secret of Shaw Brothers and TVB making money is to squeeze artists to death, so they hired people from Poplar Company to make movies...
No It exists!
……
Chajia!
Jin Yong invited Yang Ye to dinner.
"The Swordsman" exploded at the box office as soon as it was released in Hong Kong. It was also released simultaneously in Japan and the box office was good.
At the same time, the Japanese version of Jin Yong's novel "The Swordsman" was also released together with the movie.
Before this, Jin Yong’s influence was only in the Chinese world. This time the novel was published in Japan, which was undoubtedly due to Yang Ye’s credit, so naturally he wanted to treat Yang Ye to dinner.
“Let me propose a toast to my Linghu Chong!” Jin Yong said happily raising his glass.
Yang Ye quickly raised his glass and said, "I should toast you!"
He and Jin Yong touched each other a little and drank the wine in one gulp.
Seeing that Yang Ye was so happy, Jin Yong drank half of his glass of wine.
Yang Ye was about to fill him up. Jin Yong's wife Lin Leyi, who had been taking care of his daily life, quickly stopped him and said, "Cha Sheng is old and can't drink more."
Yang Ye listened. After saying that, he put down the bottle and said with a smile: "That's the end of it."
There is a theory that Jin Yong cheated on Lin Leyi and wanted to divorce his wife Zhu Mei. His eldest son Cha Chuanxia begged his father not to divorce, but Jin Yong ignored him, so Cha Chuanxia committed suicide.
This is a rumor! Cha Chuanxia had been staying in the United States and committed suicide in the United States. If he begged his parents not to divorce, he would at least have to return to Hong Kong to ask for it, right?
In fact, Cha Chuanxia broke up with his girlfriend, couldn't think about it for a while, and committed suicide after falling out of love. Jin Yong was very sad, and Lin Leyi took advantage of him, and the two got married.
Why did Jin Yong marry Lin Leyi, who was twenty-nine years younger than him? Yang Ye understood it as soon as he saw Lin Leyi.
Why did Professor Yang Zhenning marry Weng Fan, who was decades younger than him? You will understand after taking a look at the photo of his late wife Du Zhili.
When Weng Fan and Du Zhili were young, they looked like giant horses!
And this Lin Leyi...
Looks like a giant horse like the young Xia Meng!
Yang Ye also understood why Zhu Mei was divorcing Jin Yong in minutes.
Who can bear this horse riding?
Zhu Mei has a strong personality, and she initiated the divorce.
In Zhu Mei's opinion: Cha, you have always had a summer dream in your heart, so I can't bear it. You can't lick it anyway. But now you actually found a copycat version, what the hell is going on?
……
PS: The above paragraph is the author’s guess.
Due to the lack of photo evidence, the author is not sure whether young Lin Leyi and young Xia Meng look alike.
The statement that Lin Leyi looks like the young Xia Meng comes from Ni Kuang, so it should be credible.
Lin Yanni wrote in "The No. 1 Talented Man in Xiangjiang - Cha Liangyong": "Zhu Mei is a person with a strong character."
