Chapter 267 Weigh it yourself


Chapter 267 Weigh it for yourself

Early in the morning, Yang Ye was sweating profusely on the treadmill, and Zhang Minyi walked out in pajamas.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yang Ye fucked Zhang Minyi several times last night and tortured her so much that he didn't expect her to get up so early.

As everyone knows, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. Zhang Minyi is in her thirties and has been around for a long time. It doesn’t matter how many times she does it. She can still fight again.

"I want to get up and make breakfast for you!"

"Come here!"

Zhang Minyi walked over, Yang Ye stopped the treadmill, put his arms around her neck, and kissed her passionately.

"Sister Minyi, thank you for your hard work for the Academy Awards this year!"

Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "Fortunately, I think this is a very meaningful thing, but you If you want to repay me, I will accept it.”

Yang Ye said cowardly: "Didn't you repay me enough last night?"

Zhang Minyi bit her lip and said: "Not enough!"

Not enough, right?

Yang Ye put Zhang Minyi on the treadmill, asked her to lie down, and then took off her pajamas...

Yongquan reciprocated.

...

Yang Ye was reading the newspaper while eating the breakfast Zhang Minyi made for him.

The headline on the front page is the grand occasion of the first Academy Awards.

Every winner's photo was published in the newspaper, and the scene of Yang Ye kissing the trophy was maximized.

The media in Hong Kong praised the Academy Awards, saying they were organized in a grand, professional, fair and very high standard.

Moreover, many foreign media were present at the Academy Awards this time, and when the Best Asian Film was presented, foreign actors came to receive the awards in person. This proved the influence of the Academy Awards and made the Hong Kong media feel very proud.

The media also introduced the origin of the Academy Award trophy, and Xianshidi said that Yang Ye must have seen Zheng Wenya's naked body, and the two had an affair.

Yang Ye frowned when he saw it, Mala next door, these media are really trying to get rid of them!

Zhang Minyi drank fish porridge and said: "I heard that the Hong Kong Youth Chamber of Commerce is going to award you this year's top ten outstanding young people!"

"Oh, that's just right, we are both outstanding Young.”

Zhang Minyi was named one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong in 1980.

“You don’t seem to care much?”

“I am in the entertainment industry. If it is an honor in the entertainment industry, I care more about it. Others... are optional. ”

Yang Ye doesn’t want to have anything to do with those guys from the Youth Chamber of Commerce, but if they want to give him an award, he just has to accept it without saltiness.

If there is any benefit, take it, but if Yang Ye is asked to contribute to them, then he will not do it.

After breakfast, Zhang Minyi went to work. Yang Ye practiced for another hour, took a shower, and dressed up before leaving.

If the media caught him having an affair with Zhang Minyi, it would be the end of the world.

"It's better not to come directly to her house in the future. The risk is too high. Buy a house in the middle of the mountain just for dating."

Yang Ye muttered, got in the car, and walked away Turning on the radio, Leslie Cheung's singing came from the radio.

“I saw you sad, and you said how could I bear to leave, and you cried beautifully. How to stop crying, I have to kiss the edge of your hair, and let the wind continue to blow...”

Leslie Cheung's new album "The Wind Continues to Blow" is currently charting on the radio. The original song of this song is the theme song of Yamaguchi Momoe Budokan's farewell concert "The Other Side of Goodbye".

Yang Ye solemnly handed the song to Leslie Cheung and said: "The whirlwind brought by Momoe Yamaguchi has subsided. I give this song to you, hoping that you can also set off a whirlwind. ! "

Leslie Cheung was extremely excited. Yamaguchi Momoe was his idol, and he said he would sing well.

Facts have proved that Zhang Guorong is indeed suitable for this song. With a dreamlike voice, he plays out a young boy's thoughts, pursuit and longing for love.

After the release of "The Wind Keeps Blowing", it immediately became popular and topped RTHK's Golden Songs Chart.

The song "Little Dimple" sung by Yang Ye and Chen Xiuwen was suppressed to the second place and could not move.

However, "Small Dimple" was first sung at the New Year's Eve party, and the album has only been officially released now, so naturally it is not as popular as "The Wind Keeps Blowing".

The "Wind Keeps Blowing" in this time and space is a little different from the one in Zhang Guorong's original time and space. The twelve songs in the original time and space are all pieced together. There are covers of Japanese songs, English songs, and There is the theme song of the movie shot by Zhang Guorong.

Cheung Kwok-rong had released two albums before, but they received little response and felt frustrated.

When "The Wind Keeps Blowing" was released in 1983, China Star Records was not very optimistic about him. Leslie Cheung wanted to ask the famous lyricist Zheng Guojiang to write the lyrics, but Zheng Guojiang's company quoted too high, and China Star Records was unable to afford it. For this reason, I plan to find another lyricist.

This made Zhang Guorong very unhappy, but he had no say at the time. Fortunately, Zheng Guojiang is a kind and knowledgeable person. After knowing the situation, he lowered the price and wrote three songs for him.

It’s different now. Yang Ye is sure that Zhang Guorong will become famous, so Bai Yang Records provides top resources.

There are three original songs from Momoe Yamaguchi among the twelve songs, and Yang Ye also personally composed two Japanese songs.

For the other seven songs, Zhang Guorong’s teacher Li Xiaotian wrote two and Zheng Donghan wrote two. For these four, Zheng Guojiang was asked to write lyrics.

Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui collaborated to write three songs.

When making this album, Yang Ye specifically emphasized the integrity of the album.

In terms of arrangement, most of the songs in the album should be of a similar arrangement style, allowing each song to be organically integrated into the album as a whole.

Yang Ye emphasized: The pursuit of integrity does not mean that "every song sounds the same", but it is best that people can tell as soon as they hear one of the songs that it should be from Which album.

At this time, the albums released by Chinese singers were all produced by Xijier, who pieced together the albums here and there, and just had to make up the number of songs.

Yang Ye took the example of "Martial Arts" released by himself and "A Touch of Love" produced by Deng Lijun before. These two albums are not only holistic, but also conceptual. They are based on a theme. Created.

These two albums are also the sales ceiling of Chinese-language "albums" so far. Since the release of "A Touch of Love", it has been re-released and has sold more than five million copies. "Martial Arts" has also exceeded three million copies and is still rising.

Cheung Guorong's "The Wind Keeps Blowing" was jointly created by many people and includes cover songs. Although it cannot be conceptual, the integrity must still be maintained.

Under such requirements, the musicians who were invited to participate in the production were very painful, because you can't just hand in a song and be done with it. If it doesn't meet the requirements, it will be rejected!

Huang Zhan had his manuscript rejected four times by Zheng Donghan, and he was in great pain. On the fifth time, he was so angry that he drew a sign on the manuscript paper, and if the manuscript was rejected again, I would not write again.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Donghan was very satisfied. He accepted Huang Zhan's song and even drew a picture on his reply. He was indeed forced to do it.

The final result is gratifying. After Leslie Cheung found the right style, he became a god with one album. Less than a month after its release, the album has already sold double platinum sales in Hong Kong, and it continues to rise. The next step is to enter Southeast Asia. market.

……

After the Academy Awards, the "Hong Kong International Film Festival" will follow.

The Hong Kong International Film Festival was established by the Hong Kong Urban Council in 1977. It mainly screens films from all over the world and does not set up a competition. Starting this year, the Hong Kong International Film Festival has begun to establish a film buying and selling market.

On the one hand, many Hong Kong films produced every year are sold here. On the other hand, film producers from all over the world will also bring their films to Hong Kong for sale.

Although Hong Kong is just a city and cannot sell much box office, film dealers from Taiwan and Nanyang come to buy films. The Hong Kong International Film Festival provides a transit point for the dissemination of films in Southeast Asia. So it was very popular.

Hong Kong has always made its fortune through entrepot trade, and second-rate dealers are the best at it.

When Yang Ye was in the Mainland last year, he said personally that he wanted to buy the overseas distribution rights of "The Mysterious Big Buddha".

So, taking advantage of the Hong Kong Film Festival, Wang Yang, the director of Beijing Film Studio, and Zhang Huaxun, the director of "The Mysterious Buddha" flew to Hong Kong with their copies to participate in the exhibition. They were also invited to participate The first Academy Awards Ceremony.

Yang Ye returned to the company and after meeting Xia Meng, the siblings drove to the Peninsula Hotel to meet Wang Yang and Zhang Huaxun.

Wang Yang shook hands with the two of them enthusiastically: "Ms. Xia Meng, Mr. Yang Ye, we meet again. I didn't expect that you are actually siblings."

Xia Meng did not explain the two They are not real siblings, so they smiled and said: "Comrade Wang, Comrade Zhang, welcome to Hong Kong."

Er Yang has worked together for so many years, and they are close and have a good relationship. Yang Ye respects Xia Meng very much. They are not biological siblings, but they are better than biological siblings.

We had lunch at the tea restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel. While eating and chatting, people from the film industry kept coming over to say hello or nod. Wang Yang and Zhang Huaxun were very curious as to why there were so many filmmakers in this place. ?

Yang Ye explained with a smile: "In the early years, movie tycoon Run Run Shaw and great director Li Hanxiang liked to come here to drink tea. Later, many Hong Kong stars also followed suit and came here. Over time, this place became a gathering place for Hong Kong filmmakers. This restaurant is also known as the 'Shadow Tea Restaurant'."

The two of them suddenly realized that it was very interesting to eat in this place. The four of them chatted while eating. Wang Yang first recalled what it was like when he met Xia Meng at the "Fourth Literary Congress" in two years, and then expressed his praise for the first Academy Awards, thinking that the standard was very high. Tall, which made him very envious.

The whole meal was about exchanging feelings. After we had finished drinking, the tableware was removed, the waiter served Hong Kong-style milk tea, and we started talking about business.

Yang Ye asked: "What is the situation in the country now?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said helplessly: "It is not optimistic. At the end of last year, after the filming of "The Mysterious Buddha" was completed, first It was screened in Chengdu and Leshan, and the audience loved it, so we started making copies

Not long after, the editorial departments of "Film Art" and "Popular Cinema" held a symposium on film creation theory, which sharply criticized the Buddha and slapped him with many hats.

It is said that in order to pursue box office value, Big Buddha deceives the audience with made-up and bizarre plots, and spoils people's appetite with vulgar images and gimmicks. "

Zhang Huaxun said: "Actually, we encountered a lot of pressure during the filming. The film bureau once stopped the filming. Director Wang withstood the pressure and we were able to complete the filming. "

It turns out that when "The Mysterious Big Buddha" was being filmed, many people jumped out and beeped.

Some people beeped that the Big Buddha was false, deliberately created a scary effect, and the artistic style was not high enough.< br>


Some people beep, "The Mysterious Buddha" is deliberately imitating "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple", which is a retrograde performance.

Someone beeps again, "The Mysterious Buddha" will make a serious mistake by blindly catering to the public's taste.

Under various beeps, the Film Bureau once issued an order to stop the filming of "The Mysterious Buddha".

Wang Yang withstood all the pressure and called Zhang Huaxun: Ignore the rumors, shoot the scene seriously, and don’t stop for a day, even if you shoot a few empty shots a day, you can’t stop. Leave the rest to me. "

Wang Yang sighed: "A month ago, when we were preparing to show the Giant Buddha nationwide, a newspaper published an article and bombarded the Giant Buddha. We installed a bunch of Comrade Hua Xun also became the target of public criticism and was criticized verbally and written. ”

Zhang Huaxun said: "Our main creative staff of Big Buddha jointly wrote a letter to the newspaper, hoping to correct the name of the movie, but the newspaper refused to publish it."

Wang Yang said: "Comrade Xiaoqing was interviewed at that time and mentioned himself This new film she was starring in. But when the article appeared in the newspaper, she found that all the content related to "The Mysterious Buddha" had been completely deleted."

Yang Ye wanted to curse at home. It’s really difficult for film workers.

This is still better than Hong Kong. Xu Ke's "The First Type of Danger" was banned from screening by the Censorship Inspection Bureau. This guy jumped out and took the Censorship Inspection Bureau to court. He was very aggressive, although he gave up in the end.

But in China, who dares to do this? Living impatiently.

"I have watched the movie, and it is very distinctive. I will invite film producers from all over the world to watch the movie at the Hong Kong International Film Festival tomorrow."

"Mr. Yang, thank you Your support!”

……

The next day, the Hong Kong International Film Festival officially opened.

Then movies from all over the world began to be shown. When "The Mysterious Buddha" was shown, the screening hall was packed with people, including many foreigners with red eyebrows and green eyes.

In fact, many people are partners of Yang Ye, and they came to watch this Chinese movie because of Yang Ye's reputation.

Speaking of which, Yang Ye highly recommended a movie from mainland China, and they were quite curious.

When the movie ended, there was warm applause in the screening hall.

To say how good this movie is, it’s actually average.

But it is very distinctive and very fashionable.

Various elements of scenery, suspense, action, and horror can be organically blended together.

The customs and customs of Sichuan mountain cities, Sichuan opera, face-changing, food, Leshan Giant Buddha, etc. are also integrated into the film.

In this era of mainland China, it is really rare.

This version of "The Mysterious Buddha" has two more plots than the original time and space. One is that after the protagonist arrived in Leshan, he ran to have a meal of boiled fish.

Boiled fish is a dish invented by Yang Ye in this time and space, and was incorporated into the movie by the director.

One is at the end, the scene freezes on the panoramic view of the Sleeping Buddha in Leshan, and points out that this is a huge natural Buddha statue.

Wang Yang and Zhang Huaxun came on stage to express their thanks. A beautiful foreign girl with long hair shawl stood up and asked: "Excuse me, is the natural Buddha statue at the end real?"

Wang Yang replied: "It's true. This Buddha statue is composed of three mountains, with a total length of more than four kilometers. The Leshan Giant Buddha is in the heart of the Sleeping Buddha. The Leshan Giant Buddha is also the largest stone Buddha statue in the world, 71 meters high. It was built in The Tang Dynasty period more than a thousand years ago."

The beauty sighed: "The Leshan Sleeping Buddha is really amazing, and the Leshan Giant Buddha is also very amazing. This movie is also very interesting. We at United Artists hope that. Buy the distribution rights of this movie in North America.”

This beauty is, of course, Adjani. Yang Ye asked Lianmei Company to send someone as a caretaker. As a result, Adjani was so lonely that she went to Hong Kong to act as a caretaker. This was unexpected by Yang Ye.

Alas, Young Master Yang Ye has to stay with her for a few days. Jill is so busy!

The name of the Big Eight Hollywood companies is still very loud. Although United Artists is the scumbag among the Big Eight, it still occupies the name of the Big Eight.

Lian Mei immediately jumped in and made a reservation, which excited Wang Yang and Zhang Huaxun.

Afterwards, Xia Meng also stood up and said that this film was unique and opened up a new path for Chinese Kung Fu films. Baiyang Pictures was also willing to buy the distribution rights of the film in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

United Artists and Baiyang took the lead, and other film producers also placed orders to purchase copyrights. In just three days, Wang Yang signed dozens of contracts with film producers from all over the world, selling copyrights for more than two million US dollars. fee.

Many of them were bought by Yang Ye because of his reputation. The movies Baiyang produces every year can make them a lot of money, and the little money they spend to buy the rights to Big Buddha is nothing.

Jiang Zhiqiang, the distribution manager of Baiyang Company, personally acted as a consultant for Wang Yang. Which market was big, he should charge more, and which market was small, he should charge less. This made Wang Yang and Zhang Huaxun very upset. move.

A week later, the two returned to China with more than two million US dollars.

At this time, the people who criticized "The Mysterious Big Buddha" in China were complaining vigorously. Suddenly they heard that the Big Buddha was screened at the Hong Kong International Film Festival. It was an unprecedented sum of money and received unanimous praise from international friends. The news that the country had earned more than two million US dollars in foreign exchange made me instantly confused!

Is it easy for the country to earn some foreign exchange?

If you step on the horse and spray again, you will be in trouble with Gai Kai. You should weigh it yourself!
