Chapter 202 One-time Buyout
“Gang forces, resident groups, social workers and religious figures work together to maintain the collective order of the walled city, provide certain public services, and to some extent replace the government’s position. Those who violate the rules will be punished internally.
Moreover, gangs and civilians are clearly divided. The former live in the east and the latter live in the west. If you still want to come in and visit, I will ask someone to accompany you. But remember, don’t go to the east if it’s not necessary.”
Yang Ye said and took Ridley to the east. As a result, Ridley finally met the club members in Hong Kong.
Yang Ye took him to a big room and met an old man with gray hair.
The old man was sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a teapot in his hand, listening to music.
"Mr. Chen, are you in good health?"
"Hey, you are a rare visitor! Ah Ye, why do you want to come back to see me today!"
Yang Ye took out A small box of tea leaves and said: "This is Biluochun brought from China to honor you."
"This is a good thing. I am thoughtful. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's okay. This ghost guy is my friend. He wanted to come to visit us, so I brought him here to see you."
"What does he do?"
< br>"It's a director!"
"That's your colleague, I understand."
Yang Ye chatted with Chen Shi for a few words and then left.
When I got downstairs, I saw Chui Shuiqiang standing there smoking.
"Aqiang, why are you here?"
"Young Master Yang, I heard someone said you were back, so I came over to Master Chen's place to wait."
Yang Ye nodded: "How are you doing lately!"
"It's great to eat spicy food and drink spicy food!"
This guy now collects rent for Yang Ye every day. He is already the renter in name only. It's strange that he is unhappy.
Yang Ye actually doesn't care about the rent, but it still has to be collected, and it can't be given in vain.
"I happen to be looking for you too. This ghost guy is called Ridley and he is a friend of mine. He wants to visit the walled city during this period. Can you help him be his guide?"
“No problem!”
“Well, just watch him and don’t let him touch things he shouldn’t touch.”
"Understood!"
Yang Ye said to Ridley: "This is my friend. Let him be your guide next, but he doesn't speak English. You need to find a translator yourself."
"Nick, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome!"
After throwing Ridley to Flow, Yang Ye went back to continue filming. "Terminator" is gone.
As for the impact that Ridley's visit to the real Kowloon Walled City would have on his filming of "Blade Runner", this is not something Yang Ye should worry about.
......
The filming of several movies invested by Baiyang Pictures a few months ago has been completed, and the Lunar New Year is approaching, Yang Ye took some time to put together a few movies. We organized a movie viewing party together so that we can arrange the schedule.
These movies are:
"Crazy Robbery" directed by Ann Hui and starring Michelle, Sylvia Chang and Stephen Hsu.
Chen Long had dumped Michelle a long time ago. When this guy was still a bastard, he regarded Michelle as a goddess. After becoming famous, catching up, and realizing the dream, I suddenly felt boring.
However, the two of them broke up and remained friends. The Baiyang Agency treated Michelle well and helped her take on several movies, so even though she was heartbroken, she felt quite comfortable in the company.
In Yang Ye’s plan, Michelle was one of the beauties he favored after taking over Lishi.
Mi Xue, Zhao Yazhi, Chen Yulian, plus Lishi’s original Chen Xiuwen. The emergence of the four great beauties was enough to eclipse Wireless's beauties.
The "Legend of Thailand" planned by Yang Ye and co-operated by the Xu brothers is also "Thailand". Because the word "囧" has not been developed yet, it was renamed "Thailand Legend".
"Lam Sai Wing" directed by Yuen Woo-ping, starring Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao.
Actually, Yang Ye doesn't support making old-style kung fu movies like "Lam Sai Wing".
However, Yuan Heping is very good as a martial arts instructor, but he is not very good at being a director.
Even though fashion action movies became very popular later, he still focused on making his costume action movies.
The themes have remained unchanged for decades. Drunken Master, Wing Chun, Tai Chi and various martial arts are taking turns. Huo Yuanjia, Zhang Sanfeng, Huang Feihong and Ip Man are shot over and over again.
Yang Ye didn't bother to say anything and just let him go.
Yang Ye came to the screening room. Company Vice President Xia Meng, theater manager Jiang Zhiqiang, and the creators of the three movies were already waiting.
Yang Ye greeted everyone with a smile and said: "Sorry for being late, hey, there is a new person!"
Yang Ye found that there was a strange face among the people present, one A fat man with a simple and honest appearance, wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The reason he said he was unfamiliar was because it was the first time he appeared in front of Yang Ye.
In fact, Yang Ye recognized this guy at a glance.
Yuan Heping introduced: "This is the screenwriter of our movie. His name is Wang Jing. I called him over today for the film viewing party."
Fatty Wang stood up and was respectful. Authentic: "Hello, Mr. Yang!"
"Hello, sit down!"
Yang Ye did not say anything more to Wang Xiaopang, sat down in his seat and said: "Let's get started!"
Wang Jing is just a new screenwriter, and he was not even qualified to participate in the screening. But his father is a celebrity in the industry, so Yuan Heping probably asked him to come here to give him face.
Play "Lam Sai Wing" first, and everyone applauded after watching it.
Yang Ye commented: "The fight was good, from the beginning of the pen fight to the final Hongquan Thirteen Bridges Breaking Five Elements Cinnabar Palm, every fight was different.
However, the script No. This movie still follows the path of Drunken Master, but it’s not as fun as Drunken Master. There are too many dead people everywhere, which is not pleasing.”
Wang Jing’s face turned red with Yang Ye’s words. This guy is just a little transparent now, but as soon as he came up, he was called out by the big guys in the industry and said he couldn't do it, which made him very embarrassed.
Yang Ye changed the subject and said: "Of course, this is not entirely the fault of the screenwriter. Director Yuan, I very much approve of your action design, but you have to pay attention to controlling the rhythm. If you fight too much, the fighting time should be controlled within About 70% of the length of the film is better, allowing the audience to take a breath and leaving some time for the screenwriter to tell the story."
Yang Ye's words made up for Wang Jing a little, making him relieved.
Yang Ye always speaks directly and never beats around the bush, so when he pointed out the shortcomings of the movie, Yuan Heping was not angry, but accepted it humbly.
Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Although as Mr. Yang said, the movie "Lam Sai Wing" has some shortcomings, I am still optimistic about the box office. After all, such a wonderful action movie is not something that can be produced in Hong Kong. "Many."
Yang Ye nodded and said, "That's right!"
The company's employees brought some refreshments, and everyone ate, drank, and chatted for a while before continuing to watch the second movie "Crazy Heist."
This is Xu Anhua's first feature film. According to her later interviews, it was very difficult to shoot this film. She had no money to set up the scene, so she went to find an uncle to borrow a house to shoot, and she worked hard. It took a long time before the uncle agreed.
There is no professional producer, no art director, and no makeup artist. In order to put heavy makeup on Zhao Yazhi, we had to persuade Lishi's makeup artist.
It even took a long time to find a real female corpse to shoot for the autopsy scene.
I didn’t find it after all, so I used a real naked person, and then cut and cut some pig skin, and relied on editing to fool it. But now...she doesn't have to worry about it. Baiyang Pictures is protecting her, so she doesn't need to worry about too many trivial matters and can only concentrate on her creation.
But even so, the final film is just that.
After all, he was a newcomer, so Yang Ye encouraged him.
The Hui brothers' "Thailand Legend" comes to the finale, and the King of Comedy takes action. It is truly extraordinary. In addition to the few laughs provided by Yang Ye's script, Xu Guanwen himself also adds a lot to the movie. .
The whole audience kept laughing. Finally, when Lijun Teng came on stage with the BGM of "Sweet Honey", the whole audience was shocked.
The scene of Teresa Deng massaging the ugly man Xu Guanying simply made countless male viewers happy.
This is consistent with the concept in Japanese action movies that beautiful women must be paired with ugly men.
“Bah bang bang bang!”
A burst of warm applause, Jiang Zhiqiang said: “This movie is so wonderful, not only full of laughs, but also shot in Thailand, with an exotic feel. I I think we should hold a premiere to publicize it a lot.”
Jiang Zhiqiang’s move is very powerful, Xu Guanwen’s Xu’s Pictures is still affiliated with Golden Harvest, and this “囧” is produced by Baiyang Pictures. , which originally made Xu Guanwen and Jiahe a little alienated.
If Baiyang Pictures organizes a grand premiere for the Xu brothers, then this matter will basically be confirmed.
In fact, with the conditions offered by Yang Ye, it is not difficult for Xu Guanwen to leave Jiahe completely.
Because Jiahe is too impatient and everything is on the books, it is really difficult for downstream satellite companies to get their own money.
As for Bai Yang, the amount is as much as it is given, and it is given very quickly, without even having to wait for overseas funds to arrive.
For example, Xu Guanwen has a Japanese box office, but it is very difficult for him to get the money. Jiahe could hold him back for a year and a half with just one trick before the money arrived.
And what about Yang Ye? As soon as Chen Long's Japanese box office data came out, the company immediately transferred the money, and there was no such thing as receiving the money.
In fact, the money from Japan has been staying on the island to increase in value and has never come back at all. Anyway, Yang Ye is not short of cash.
Now some small companies have come to Baiyang Cinemas to show their films here.
However, the film source of Baiyang Cinema Line is already sufficient. Not all cats and dogs can be admitted, and they will not accept those who are not capable.
……
After hearing Jiang Zhiqiang's opinion, Yang Ye asked Xu Guanwen: "Brother Wen, what do you think?"
Xu Guanwen made eye contact with his three younger brothers and smiled: "That's great!"
Yang Ye said: "Okay, then I will invite Miss Deng Lijun to attend."
This standard is high enough, and the Xu brothers are very satisfied!
After watching the three movies and deliberation, "Crazy Heist" is scheduled to be released on December 2nd and will be released on Sunday, taking the lead. "Lam Sai Wing" is scheduled to be released on December 16, and "Legend of Thailand" will be released on December 23.
The schedule of "Legend of Thailand" is extremely good. The 23rd is Sunday, the 24th is Christmas Eve, and the 25th is Christmas Day, which means that it can be held for three days in a row.
"Lam Sai Wing" is a week ahead of schedule, so the schedule is much worse. However, now Hung Kyung-bo can't compete with Xu Guanwen. A week ahead of schedule is good, and you can also have some Christmas soup.
The film schedule of Baiyang Cinema is to have a major movie released every Sunday. As long as your quality is excellent, you can dominate this week.
Of course, if you think your film is powerful enough, you can also screen it together with other films. Anyway, there are enough theaters.
For example, "Lam Sai Wing" can be moved to the same day as "Legend of Thailand". However, Brother Yuan Heping is not confident, so it is safer to take a week's box office in advance.
...
After confirming the premiere, Yang Ye called Lijun Deng back from Japan.
“Why are you calling me back so well?”
Because Yang Ye copied a bunch of Japanese songs for Teresa Teng, Teresa Teng became more popular in Japan than in the original time and space, and her records were sold like hotcakes, ahead of time In five years, he was invited to participate in the Red and White Song Festival.
This matter is very important, and she is currently actively preparing for it.
But when Yang Ye called, Deng Lijun came back immediately.
“I want to sing a love song with you!”
“Have the songs been written?”
“Yes!”
“It’s not easy. , made us wait for a whole year! ”
...
Yang Ye promised to release a new album when "The Swordsman" is released, and now "The Swordsman" is almost finished being released worldwide.
This new album is long overdue.
Actually, Yang Ye felt a little conflicted about not being able to release this album, because...it was a bit too much, which made Yang Ye feel that it was too much.
But later he also thought clearly that as a time traveler, he should be proud of gathering wool and should not be ashamed of it.
Otherwise, he will be a disgrace to the time traveler!
……
Aspen Records, conference room.
Zheng Donghan held the music score and felt a little excited.
“You wrote a song for each of Jin Yong’s novels?”
"No, the quality of Jin Yong's novels can be roughly divided into seven or eight. I have only written theme songs for seven of the top novels. Others are more average novels like "The Book of Swords and Enmities", and I didn’t write short stories such as "White Horse Roaring in the West Wind" and "Mandarin Duck Sword". "
80% of the martial arts songs in the Chinese world appear in Jin Yong's works.
The theme song of "The Swordsman" that Yang Ye composed before, "A Smile in the Sea", can be called the first divine song of martial arts.
And the ones gathered now are also very impressive.
They are: 83 Shooting Condor theme song "Iron-Blooded Heart", 91 Snow Mountain Flying Fox theme song "Dream Chaser", 92 Deer Cauldron theme song "Happy Act", 94 Yitian theme song "Swords Are Like Dreams" ”, the theme song of 95 Shendiao “Mythical Love Words”, and the theme song of 97 Tianlong “The Hard-to-Recite Sutra”.
In addition to the seven theme songs, there is also an ending song from 82 Tianlong, "Two Forgettable Smokes in the Water", and "Dream Chaser" and "Mythical Love Story" each have a Mandarin version, which adds up to ten songs. Enough to make an album.
As soon as this album comes out... the theme songs for Jin Yong's TV series will basically be finalized in the future. There will be no need to release new songs, and no one will take them seriously.
Zheng Donghan hummed one song after another and sighed: "Now Jin Yong will treat you as a confidant!"
Teng Lijun looked on and was also shocked. She is Taiwanese. Said: "Don't write all about Jin Yong, write a few for Gu Long too!"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "When I go back to buy the copyright of Gu Long's novels, I will write for Gu Long again!"
< br>
"Let me tell you, I can't afford to be too early if there is no profit. So you are doing it for the copyright of Jin Yong's novel?"
"Otherwise, why would I bother with this? That "Swordsman" was just used for proofing. A movie plus an album, there is no one in the world who understands Jin Yong better than me. If he doesn’t sell it to me, who will he sell it to?” Will I sell the copyright to you in a minute?”
Yang Ye said sternly: “I have no relatives in this world, how can I use her when Sister Meng is my biological sister?”
Deng Lijun was very ashamed of Yang Ye's words. She said: "You are right, I am too selfish."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Actually, Sister Meng is equivalent to a nuclear weapon. The kind we promise not to use first. If it is the last resort, she still has to come forward."
These words made Deng Lijun Instantly relieved, she asked: "Why are you so obsessed with Jin Yong's copyright? You do not hesitate to do so many things as a bargaining chip?"
Yang Ye said: "What I want is not Jin Yong's copyright, but the exclusive copyright. I will pay a large amount of money to buy it out in one go. From now on, these copyrights will be operated by me and have nothing to do with him.”
