Chapter 256 Chen Long’s Nanny
In 1980, the Golden Horse Awards began to integrate with international standards. It held an international film viewing exhibition for the first time, had the theme song "Golden Horse Galloping" for the first time, and started walking the red carpet for the first time.
Of course Yang Ye wanted to support him in this situation, so the main creators of the two films "Terminator" and "Heist" shortlisted by Baiyang Company came over.
Yang Ye, with Lin Qingxia on his arm, led the crew of "Terminator" to appear on the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards, immediately attracting the attention of the audience!
“Click, click!”
The most popular male star and the most popular female star in the Chinese film industry appeared at the same time, instantly murdering countless films. The sound of the shutter click was heard endlessly, and the spotlight flashed into a sea of silver.
"Young Master Yang, Qingxia, are you in love?"
Yang Ye and Lin Qingxia remained silent, pretending not to hear.
"Young Master Yang, do you have the confidence to be crowned Best Actor again?"
"I hope so!"
"Qingxia, do you have the confidence to win the Best Actress Award again?"
"It depends on the judges' wishes!"
"Will you still work together on the next movie?"
>
"Not for the time being. Next, I will shoot a blockbuster about the Anti-Japanese War in Taiwan. Please stay tuned."
Yang Ye suddenly announced the news of the new film, and the reporters suddenly became excited. This is First-hand news?
"Mr. Yang, can you reveal the specific information about the movie?"
"Of course, this movie is called "Wushe Uprising", starring myself. It tells the story of Taiwan's aboriginal race fifty years ago. The story of the Dek people's resistance to Japanese aggression.
This film will involve more than 10,000 people, with a total investment of NT$300 million, making it the largest Chinese-language film to date. "
“Wow!”
Nowadays, very few Taiwanese films have invested more than NT$10 million.
Good guy, this guy shouted NT$300 million with just one mouthful.
You are so powerful, you are worthy of being an international superstar, you have so much confidence!
So they began to ask about the specific situation of the movie.
Actually, 300 million is just Yang Ye’s bragging statement. In fact, it doesn’t cost that much money at all.
Many resources are provided by China Film Group Corporation, and many actors are assigned tasks without being paid, which saves a lot of money.
Ordinarily, if this is a co-production, Yang Ye should receive director's fee, starring fee, and screenwriter's fee. His current market price is 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 150 million New Taiwan dollars.
However, since China Film Group provided a large amount of resources for the filming of the movie, Yang Ye was exempted from his own expenses.
The final budget is around NT$50-60 million.
However, if we include the resources provided by China Film and Yang Ye's salary, it is not an exaggeration to say that the investment is NT$300 million.
Yang Ye released a bombshell and dragged Lin Qingxia into the venue, regardless of the reporters' comments behind him.
This material was so loud that the reporters were talking a lot and were not interested in the crew walking on the red carpet behind.
After entering the venue, due to the deliberate arrangement of the organizing committee, the crew of "Terminator" and the crew of "Heist" were next to each other.
The cast members of "Crazy Heist" Ann Hui, Michelle and Sylvia Chang are all here.
However, Sylvia Chang is the heroine of another Taiwanese movie "Jasmine", so she did not sit with the crew of "Crazy Heist".
But the "Jasmine" crew was arranged in the back row, right next to Yang Ye and the others.
Michelle is an oddity in Hong Kong dramas. Hong Kong dramas in the 1980s were very distinct. People with a discerning eye can tell whether it is a TVB drama or an ATV drama just by looking at the actors, because each of the two TV stations has its own team.
Michelle is the only actor who goes back and forth between two TV stations without any restrictions. She is the heroine no matter where she jumps!
Of course, Yang Ye had to win over such a star and pulled Lin Qingxia to chat with Mi Xuere.
Yang Ye only hated that scumbag Chen Long for dumping Michelle, otherwise he wouldn't have worried about Michelle running away.
Chen Long's approach to picking up girls is like breaking off sticks, one by one and then one by one, and then one by one and then one by one.
In "A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Li Hanxiang, Lin Qingxia plays Jia Baoyu, Sylvia Chang plays Lin Daiyu, and Michelle Michelle plays Xue Baochai.
The three women were old acquaintances. They chatted happily together and left Yang Ye alone.
Mi Xue smiled and said: "I wonder which of you two will win the Best Actress this time?"
Zhang Sylvia said: "I can't compare to Qingxia."
Lin Qingxia Pointing at Yang Ye, he said: "Everyone is watching the movie "Terminator" because of him. Who will pay attention to me? I think you have a greater chance of winning than me."
Sylvia Chang said: "That's Fengjiao, her acting skills are so good."
Mi Xue said: "Fengjiao has even won the banker, how can she win again?"
Lin Qingxia also felt that Lin Fengjiao's words of three letters are incredible. Then he pointed at Yang Ye and said: "Is this person guessing the prize accurately? Ask him."
Everyone looked at Yang Ye together. Yang Ye finally found a chance to speak, but it was a pity that he answered this question. No.
Originally, Xu Feng was supposed to win the second Golden Horse Award this year after defeating Lin Qingxia and Sylvia Chang.
But Xu Feng was taking care of her baby at home, and Qiu Jin only made a two-minute cameo in "Blue Blood and Yellow Flowers". Yang Ye could guess the ghost.
He had no choice but to spread his hands: "The strength of the three of you is between the same people. You can't guess."
The shortlisted crews entered the scene one after another, and Li Xing brought "Good Morning Taipei" and The creator of "Lu Binghua" walked in.
Although there are two crews, the actors basically overlap.
The male protagonist of "Good Morning Taipei" and the art teacher of "Lu Binghua" are both played by Zhong Zhentao, and Odie also starred in these two movies.
When Yang Ye saw them coming in, he waved and greeted them.
Wang Zuxian, who plays the sister in "Lu Binghua", also came with the crew. She was wearing a white little skirt today and looked very cute. When she saw Yang Ye waving to them, she immediately ran over and shouted sweetly : "Brother Ye!"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You just call me someone? It's not polite!"
Wang Zuxian stuck out his tongue and quickly said, "Sister Qingxia, sister Mi Xue, Sister Aijia, Director Xu..." He shouted in a circle.
Lin Fengjiao and Zhong Zhentao also came over to say hello. Michelle said: "Fengjiao, they said you will win three times in a row tonight."
Lin Fengjiao waved her hands quickly and said, "No, you will be struck by lightning!"
"Hahaha!" All the girls laughed together.
......
Awards were awarded one after another. Yang Ye was drowsy in the audience. The fierce battle with the two girls all night consumed Yang Ye a lot of energy. In addition, he didn't care about winning the award. If you are interested, just close your eyes and relax.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Lin Qingxia suddenly pushed him: "I'm calling you!"
"Ah? What's wrong? What award did you win?" Yang Ye quickly opened his eyes. "I want you to go up and present the award!"
"Oh!"
Yang Ye stood up quickly, walked quickly to the stage, took the list from the host, and immediately He made a sound, and then announced: "The winner of the best child actor in a feature film is... Wang Zuxian. Congratulations!"
"I won the award?" Wang Zuxian jumped three feet high, and then joined her side Odie high-fived: "Yeah!"
Then he bowed to Li Xing and said, "Thank you, director!"
Li Xing smiled kindly and said, "Hurry up and receive the award!"
Wang Zuxian was like a little butterfly, He quickly ran onto the stage, causing the audience to chuckle.
After happily taking the trophy from Yang Ye’s hand, Wang Zuxian began to deliver his acceptance speech.
She is thirteen years old this year, and she is already tall and graceful. Unlike Odie, who won the award last year, she could not reach the microphone.
"Thank you to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this award. I'm so happy. I want to thank my family, my parents, director Li and grandpa, thank you to the uncles and aunts on the crew, thank you little Odie. Finally, I want to thank me My big brother...Yang Ye! You are the person I admire most. I will be an excellent actor like you and make many movies."
Yang Ye stood aside with a smile. Chao Wang Zuxian gave a thumbs up.
“Bah bang bang!”
The audience gave this cute little sister warm applause without hesitation.
Subsequently, Yang Ye won the Best Original Screenplay, but missed the Best Actor.
Lin Qingxia also did not win the best actress, and it was taken away by Sylvia Chang.
The couple was saddened by the loss of the hero and heroine. They looked at each other and smiled, but they did not feel disappointed. After all, they had taken it before, so they felt better.
"Terminator" won one award and then died out. Instead, "Heist" won two awards for Best Cinematography and Best Editing.
The winner of the best photography is Zhong Zhiwen. He now works at ATV and is an employee of Yang Ye.
Chung Chi-man ranks fourth among Hong Kong photographers in terms of the number of Academy Awards he has won, second only to Wong Yuet-tai, Du Kefeng and Bao Dexi.
After Zhong Zhiwen gave his acceptance speech, he happily returned to his seat. Yang Ye directly asked: "Awen, are you interested in filming my new film?"
Zhong Zhiwen was overjoyed and said quickly: "Yes. Ah!”
“But the position of director of photography cannot be given to you. Mr. Hua Huiying will be the one, and you will be his deputy.”
“Then I will learn more from Mr. Hua. ”
“This movie is going to be shot in the Taroko Grand Canyon. Mr. Hua is old. In addition to being a photographer, you also have to take care of his safety. Isn’t it a bit hard?”
"No problem, I will take good care of Mr. Hua."
Yang Ye was chatting with Zhong Zhiwen. Over there, Li Xing won the best film for "Good Morning Taipei".
Li Xing was tired of winning awards, so he went up and said a few words and then came down.
This is the end of this Golden Horse Awards, and Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong with a large team of people the next day.
The two daughters Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia each have movies to shoot, and they both stay in Taiwan.
Yang Ye didn't care at all about inviting Taiwanese singers and hosts for the New Year's Eve concert. It was impossible for him to do everything himself.
He just had an idea for this matter and left the rest to Huang Xizhao.
With Yang Ye's current reputation in the Chinese world, almost no Chinese singer will refuse as long as he is invited.
Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong, and Chen Long came back. He, Yang Ye, and Yuan Biao were preparing for a concert in Tokyo.
The box office failure of "The Killer" released not long ago made Chen Long very unhappy and he was preparing to return to Hong Kong.
Yang Ye asked: "Aren't you going to stay there?"
Chen Long shook his head and said: "Those ghost guys are too rigid and can't change at all. I plan to come back!"
Yang Yedao: "American film production pays attention to procedures and has a fine division of labor. People perform their duties and the studio follows steps. This is actually what I have been pursuing."
Chen Long nodded and said: "I I also feel that your working style is a bit like that of those ghost guys. You think about everything before doing it, but you also teach me to be flexible. Why is this?"
Yang Ye said: "This is you. It depends on the route you take. If you take the route of a market hero, you are suitable for adapting to local conditions and adapting to changes. If you are too rigid, it will be difficult to show your performance. If Jiahe invites you to the United States to arrange a film and listen to those ghost guys, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. It can’t bring out its special features, so it would be strange if it doesn’t hit the streets at the box office.”
"Did you guess that this movie would hit the street a long time ago?"
Yang Ye did not answer, but said: "Actually, Hollywood has invited me many times, but I have always refused. Because I didn't think about it. As a Chinese People, if you make an English film, how can you solve the identity problem? Can Americans accept a Chinese as the protagonist in an American movie, beating their men and picking up their girls?”
Chen Long was stunned. Said: "I thought it was just that the two sides had different ideas. So there is still such a way?"
Yang Ye said: "Actually, with such a big market in Asia, there is no need to forcefully break into Europe and the United States. But since you have gone, you can't be so gray. Come back in a hurry."
Chen Long heard the meaning of Yang Ye's words and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You want to help me?"
Yang Ye thought to himself, I will be your nanny.
He said: "I have an idea, you can see if you accept it."
"Wait for me, I will write it down."
Chen Long said Then, he took out his small notebook and pen and started taking notes. This guy is very studious and will write down any ideas he has.
“First of all, you have to divide some of the functions of your protagonist. That is to say, add a protagonist, and then you partner with him. This person should preferably be a white man. When casting, choose that kind of person. He is handsome and has just debuted, so that he can obey your arrangements.”
When Chen Long heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense!"
"Secondly, in terms of subject matter, you can't make a pure Hong Kong-style Kung Fu movie. We need to integrate a certain type of Hollywood movie with our Kung Fu movie. , and kung fu movies can’t take away the characteristics of this genre. In my opinion, the best choice is... western movies. Because western movies and kung fu movies already have many similar elements, which is easy to integrate.”
< br>"In the end, you'd better lead the team yourself instead of listening to those ghost guys' random instructions. If you follow their instructions for everything, your uniqueness will disappear and the movie will lose its selling point."
The more Chen Long listened, the more he felt it made sense, and he couldn't help but be deeply impressed.
Yang Ye said: "I have thought of a story outline for you. A Chinese princess was kidnapped to the United States. The emperor sent Ouchi guards to the United States for rescue. In the desolate western United States, the guards met a cowboy, and the two We don't know each other until we fight, so we meet to rescue the princess together
The story is very simple, and you need to fill in the jokes and fights in the middle by yourself. But try not to make jokes that are Chinese, because ghost guys can’t understand them. You have to find a Hollywood screenwriter to help you add various Western references that are familiar to Americans to the story. "
"What does stalk mean? ”
“You can understand it as a punchline and a foreshadowing. "
"Understood. "
"After you arrive in the United States, go see Shay and ask him to hire a screenwriter to help you complete the script. The film will be produced by United Artists. This will ensure your right to speak. ”
"Okay!"
"Also, I have a candidate for the white protagonist. Meet him after you go to the United States. His name is... Tom Cruise!"
