Chapter 195 The Terminator is on
The Hong Kong music scene has finally realized the fear of being dominated by Yang Ye.
Normally speaking, Yang Ye is not a serious singer. Apart from one and a half albums after his debut ("Chinese Folk Songs" was a compilation), he has not released any more albums since then, only a few. Several EPs.
But whenever this guy releases a song, it will definitely dominate the radio charts.
This summer, with the popularity of "Swordsman", Yang Ye's song "A Smile in the Sea" dominated the charts of Radio Hong Kong and Hong Kong Commercial Radio for two full months.
After finally ranking down, Yang Ye suddenly formed a "Chinese Dragon Team" with Chen Long and Yuan Biao, and even released a song called "ABC".
This song first appeared in the form of a MV on a TVB music program. As soon as it appeared, it immediately caused a dance music whirlwind in Hong Kong.
Yang Ye, together with Chen Long and Yuan Biao, once again led the trend of the Chinese music scene.
The young people in Hong Kong are like crazy. They rush home as soon as school is over and sing and dance to the TV.
The TV station’s ratings exploded, and parents were very annoyed.
TVB simply played this song every day at six o'clock on time for a month, making a lot of money from advertising fees.
TVB also wanted to invite the newly established "Chinese Dragon Team" to appear on the show, but was rejected.
The reason is that Chen Long went to Hollywood to film, and we will wait until he comes back.
As for the "ABC" EP, it sold triple platinum sales in the local area in just one month, and even the video tape sold more than 20,000 boxes.
The more fans he has, the more he is praised, and those professional singers can only envy him.
......
"Terminator" opening ceremony!
A large number of reporters swarmed in, and the hottest question was actually not the movie, but the news about the "Chinese Dragon Team".
A reporter finally got the opportunity to ask questions and asked: "Mr. Yang, will there be any follow-up works of 'Chinese Dragon Team'?"
Yang Ye said: "Of course. Yes, this song "ABC" is just a test piece. When Aaron comes back, we will release a music album to promote this dance music style."
"Will you make singing your main career in the future?"
"It's just for fun. Okay, that's enough for the music questions. Now please ask questions related to movies."
《 Lu Mixue from Oriental Daily asked: "Mr. Yang, can you tell me what kind of movie "Future Soldier" is?"
"A science fiction movie."
"What specifically? What about the content? ”
"No spoilers!"
Lu Mixue smiled charmingly, flipped up her hair, and said, "Mr. Yang, are you angry with me?"
"Damn, be serious. . Who told you to report randomly last time?”
“Then why did you go to Japan?”
"But you only appeared in "The Girl Who Killed" for a few minutes. Did it take two months to film?"
"There is still another episode of "The Girl Who Killed", and I have a lot of roles. It will be released next year. Remember to buy a ticket to watch it. Okay, next, a reporter from "Overseas Chinese Daily", please ask."
"Master Yang, can you tell me what kind of movie "Future Soldier" is. "
This guy actually asked the same question as Lu Mixue, and many people at the scene almost laughed.
Yang Ye gave a like and said: "That's a good question. I'll give it to you next time. Let me introduce you to "Future Soldier", a science fiction action and special effects blockbuster. It not only has wonderful action scenes, but also special effects. It will also reach world-class standards. There will be high-energy scenes of future wars in the movie. The total budget exceeds 20 million Hong Kong dollars. It is the most expensive movie in Hong Kong so far. Please wait and see.”
"Twenty million Hong Kong dollars?" All the reporters present gasped. If it were someone else who said this instead of Yang Ye, he would definitely be regarded as a madman.
"That's right, that's not counting my salary and director and screenwriter fees. To tell you the truth, if Hollywood asked me to make a movie, the three functions combined would cost at least five million US dollars. Also That is to say...theoretically, our investment in this movie reaches 50 million Hong Kong dollars."
Yang Ye said that he was worth 5 million US dollars, but no one at the scene thought he was bragging.
He writes, directs and acts himself. Since "Shaolin Temple" became a global hit, his global box office has never been less than 50 million.
The fee of five million is definitely a reasonable price.
"Okay, let's stop asking here. The auspicious time has come and it's time for us to worship God."
As Yang Ye said, he led actors such as Lin Qingxia, Miao Kexiu, Cheng Kui'an and others to begin to worship the second master.
......
"Yang Yehao spent 50 million Hong Kong dollars to create "Future Soldiers"!"
Zou Wenhuai frowned as he looked at the headline in the newspaper.
Ever since Yang Ye said that if the salary and script were suitable, he could be hired.
Zou Wenhuai really thought about inviting Yang Ye to make a movie.
It’s just that he doesn’t know how much money it will cost to impress Yang Ye.
Now Yang Ye actually said it himself, five million US dollars!
Zou Wenhuai couldn't help complaining: "This is too expensive. We paid 10 million Hong Kong dollars to hire Chen Long."
He Guanchang said: "We only paid Chen Long 10 million Hong Kong dollars to film the movie. Yang Ye also paid 5 million US dollars to be the director and screenwriter, which is considered a conscientious price."
"Oh, I don't have my own money." Superstars really don’t speak forcefully.”
He Guanchang is also very helpless. They have praised many people over the years, but they have spent a lot of money, but the results are not good.
He Guanchang said: "Actually, in terms of movements alone, Tan Daoliang is also very clean, Liu Jiahui is also very neat, not much worse than Yang Ye and Chen Long. Yang Ye is invincible in actual combat. But why are we and Shao Their action movies are not as good as others? One is that the plot is not as good as others, and the other is that their action scenes are full of imagination, while ours are more rigid."
Zou Wenhuaidao. : "I have thought about this for a long time. Being able to fight as an actor is only one aspect, and martial arts guidance is the top priority. For example, Xu Ke's "Butterfly Transformation" has a much better plot than many martial arts films, but The disadvantage is that the action choreography is too rough.
After people have watched the action scenes in "The Swordsman", when they watch the action scenes in "Butterfly", they feel like they are playing house with children, and they are not interested at all. I think Cheng Xiaodong is good. His action design is very imaginative and can be focused on cultivating. "
He Guanchang agreed: "The actions designed by Cheng Xiaodong in "The Famous Sword" are indeed remarkable. The final scene of cutting the person in half with a sword was imitated by Yang Ye in "The Swordsman". "
The two scenes are indeed very similar. After all, they are both famous scenes designed by Cheng Xiaodong.
Zou Wenhuai said: "What do you think about letting Xu Ke partner with Cheng Xiaodong? ”
“This is a good idea! "He Guanchang agreed.
Xu Ke originally had to wait until he directed his third film "The First Type of Danger" before he could partner with Cheng Xiaodong, but now it's been brought forward.
……
The Peak of Victoria Peak, the filming location of "Terminator".
This place was the filming location for the first scene of Yang Ye's last science fiction film "ET."
Yang Ye chose the same place to shoot the first scene of "Terminator", which is considered an easter egg.
"A'an, you practiced well!"
Cheng Kui'an really developed a muscular body, which made Yang Ye very satisfied.
Cheng Kui'an grinned: "Director, I practice every day."
"From today on, as long as you are on the set, you are not allowed to laugh. And you are not allowed to have any expressions, joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. No, if you are caught, your salary will be deducted."
"Huh?"
"This expression is too exaggerated. I will deduct 100 yuan!"
"Oh!"
"Aggrieved? Another 100 yuan will be deducted."
Before starting work, I will be deducted first. Two hundred dollars. The staff on the set almost laughed out loud.
Cheng Kui'an immediately put on a straight face, not daring to show any expression, not even nodding in agreement. He used to be just the lowest martial artist with a low income.
Now that I have acted in Yang Ye's movie, my income has increased a bit, and I got a salary of 10,000 yuan.
Ten thousand yuan seems like a lot, but Yang Ye’s film cycle is long, at least three months of filming, which works out to 3,000 yuan a month.
Just one sentence, one sentence, two words, "step on the horse", and I lost two days' salary.
My flesh hurts!
“Are you all ready?”
After getting a positive answer, Yang Ye said to Xu Shaoqiang and Yu Anan who came over to make guest appearances: "When the filming starts, you two can hug each other and bang each other. It's best to be more passionate." Both of them are old actors, so a kiss will count. Shit, they nodded together and said: "I understand, director!"
Yang Ye nodded and said to Cheng Kui'an: "A'an, you can pose as a meditator later. , squat in this place, okay?”
Cheng Kui’an didn’t know what a “meditator” was, but Yang Ye had already drawn the storyboard, so he just had to follow it, which was very convenient. He nodded slowly.
He didn't even dare to nod quickly. Yang Ye was very satisfied with his state: "Well, this looks a bit like a robot. Let's deduct a hundred less."
"Thank you, director!" Cheng Kui'an smiled immediately when he heard that he could get a hundred less deductions.
"Get carried away? Two hundred more deductions!"
"Pfft!" Johnnie To, who was taking the notes, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. The boss was trying to torture Kuian in a different way.
"Is it funny? You can also deduct a hundred and go to the company to pay the fine tomorrow."
"Oh!"
Du Qifeng is a small-time reporter, and his monthly salary is only more than 1,000 yuan.
My flesh hurts!
"Everyone is in position, blower ready!"
To Qifeng laid down the slate and started filming.
Xu Shaoqiang and Yu Anan leaned against the railing on the viewing platform at the top of the mountain, hugging each other and kissing and touching each other, very passionately.
Next to them, there was an astronomical telescope.
Obviously, this is a couple who ran to the top of the mountain to watch the stars.
Of course, looking at the stars is fake, but playing in the field is real!
In the original "Terminator", it was three hippies who looked at the starry sky. There are no hippies in Hong Kong, only the Young and Dangerous.
Three young and Dangerous boys went to the top of the mountain to look up at the stars at night? So weird.
So Yang Ye changed it to a pair of dog men and women to fight in the field in the name of watching the stars, which was more reasonable.
Why did you ask Xu Shaoqiang to make a guest appearance? Because this guy is tall and strong, it would be better for the Terminator to steal his clothes and wear them.
This guy recently became famous because of Yun Feiyang in "The Transformation of the Silkworm". Fu Xiangjun, played by Yu Anan in "The Transformation of the Silkworm", liked Yun Feiyang, but the two were not together in the end.
Yang Ye simply arranged for the two of them to bang in "Terminator". When the movie is released next year, this will be considered a joke.
The two were enjoying their kiss when a powerful blower started, blowing the dead branches and leaves on the top of the mountain to fly in all directions.
"Oops!"
The two people immediately squinted their eyes and stretched out their hands to block the wind. At this time, the camera panned to show Cheng Kui'an squatting on the ground like a meditator.
According to the way the Terminator appears in later generations, there should be lightning and thunder first, and then a cool ball of light suddenly appears, the ball opens, and the Terminator appears.
We can’t do it now without this technology. Yang Ye adopted the same method as the original version. The camera panned and the Terminator appeared.
LOW is a bit LOW, but that’s all it can do.
Of course, it can be done by adding a few lightning effects later to enhance the atmosphere.
Cheng Kui'an stood up slowly, looked left and right slowly, walked forward with his butt naked, and looked down at the brightly lit city below the mountain.
For this shot, Yang Ye deliberately used the same angle as in "ET Alien".
“OK, get on the wires!”
Hong Jingbao, who was the martial arts commander, came up and asked someone to tie the wires to Xu Shaoqiang and Yu Anan.
In order to show the Terminator's ruthlessness and super fighting power, both of them will be killed by the Terminator later.
The Terminator is a robot, and the fighting movements tend to be bloody and violent, so this time Yang Ye chose to cooperate with Hong Jingbao, whose style is more suitable.
After tying up the wires and testing the safety, the shooting continued.
Xu Shaoqiang and Yu Anan hugged each other, staring dumbly at the naked man not far away.
Cheng Kui'an slowly turned around and walked towards the two of them, shaking the little elephant's trunk.
Being watched by so many people, Cheng Kui'an felt very ashamed. Every step he took, he wanted to reach out and cover the little elephant's trunk.
But he knew that this was a formal shooting, and he must leave a good impression on Yang Ye without making any mistakes.
He has practiced this countless times at home. He even walked around naked outside in the dead of night.
I was treated as an exhibitionist several times and almost got caught.
Cheng Kui'an kept encouraging himself, without stopping, and strode towards Xu Shaoqiang and Yu An'an.
Yu Anan opened her mouth in shock: "So... so big!"
Xu Shaoqiang suddenly looked unhappy when he heard his girlfriend complimenting others on how big they were. He pulled Yu Anan behind him and shouted: "Hey, you are stepping on the quilt. Was it robbed?"
Cheng Kui'an stopped in front of Xu Shaoqiang and said expressionlessly: "Yes, he was robbed."
Xu Shaoqiang laughed: "Are you ready? Going down the mountain naked?”
“Give me your clothes, now”
"Ignore you, old man!"
As soon as Xu Shaoqiang finished cursing, Cheng Kui'an grabbed his neck and raised one hand high.
Of course, it is impossible for Cheng Kui'an to have such great power. Xu Shaoqiang was pulled up by Wia.
“Let him go!”
Seeing her boyfriend being caught, Yu Anan went crazy and rushed up to kick and beat Cheng Kui’an. Cheng Kui’an grabbed her chest with his right hand and slapped her Throw it, fly four or five meters away, hit the ground and die.
Later, the makeup artist put on Yu An'an's makeup to make her look miserable, then put some blood on the ground, took a close-up, and it was done.
"An'an, are you okay?" Hong Jingbao shouted.
Yu Anan fell to the ground, climbed up with difficulty, and said weakly: "It's okay!"
Yu Anan received an invitation from Xia Meng, asking her to come to Yang Ye's new film She was quite happy to have a cameo in the movie.
I didn’t expect that it was just a guest appearance, but it actually fell. Isn’t this too serious?
Fortunately, protective measures were in place, and although it hurt, I was not injured at all.
Yang Ye quickly said: "Bring a recliner over and let An An rest!"
After all, she is an actor, so the crew took good care of her. Hong Jingbao personally moved a stool for her to sit down.
"You are lucky, your landing posture is very good, otherwise, you will have to fall a few more times."
Yu Anan stuck out his tongue: "You guys are so serious about filming. If we film, Even if the posture is wrong, I just make do with it. Film is very expensive.”
"High investment leads to high returns. In order to take good-looking shots, a little film is nothing. When we were filming "Shaolin Temple", the last shot of the volley was shot over and over for half a month."
< br>"That shot is so classic. Speaking of which, the time it takes you to make a movie is enough for us to make a full-length TV series, but the box office is really high."
Hong Jingbao and Yu Anan chatted casually for two days. So, go back to work.
Seeing the tragic death of his girlfriend, Xu Shaoqiang was so frightened that he peed and shouted miserably: "Xiaojun!"
Then he begged: "I'll take it off, I'll take it off!"
Cheng Kui'an put Xu Shaoqiang down. Xu Shaoqiang endured grief and glanced at his girlfriend's body in the distance, slowly took off his shirt and handed it to Cheng Kui'an.
While Cheng Kui'an was taking the clothes, Xu Shaoqiang suddenly took out a dagger and pierced Cheng Kui'an's chest.
Blood flowed out, but the Terminator didn't react at all. Xu Shaoqiang was shocked. The Terminator punched through Xu Shaoqiang's body.
A bloody fist came out from Xu Shaoqiang's back.
Of course, a dislocated shooting method was used here, making it look like a fist really penetrated Xu Shaoqiang's body in the lens,
"Very good, the makeup artist is here. Hurry up and finish work early today. I'll treat everyone to a supper."
Next, make-up will be done on Cheng Kui'an's fist here, and Yu An'an's death form will be put on over there, and then We shot close-ups until around eleven o'clock in the evening, and the first scene of "Terminator" was successfully completed.
