Chapter 293 The Best of Times
“There’s a newcomer again!”
Xiao Qiang said mysteriously as soon as she walked into the classroom.
"When new people come, new people will come. Come every month!"
Wang Zuxian lay on the table and yawned. She was hiding under the quilt reading romance novels last night and saw it so late. .
"It's different this time, he's Japanese!"
"It's not like I've never been here before, Akina is Japanese!"
"Oh, brother Ye personally brought Akina to debut, and she has become famous All over Japan, I’m so envious!”
Cui Zhenzhen said with a look of longing: “When can we make our debut?”
Zhou Huimin said: “Brother Ye said, at least wait until Sixteen years old.”
Wang Zuxian immediately became energetic, sat up straight and said, "Can't it be done next year?"
"No, we are a group, and Yingying is not yet fourteen years old, so we have to wait at least two years."
Wang Zuxian pouted at Xiao Qiang: "It's all your fault!"
Xiao Qiang was dissatisfied: "Hey! I can't decide when my mother will give birth to me. Jingyi can't decide either. She's not fourteen years old, why didn't you talk about her?"
Yi Nengjing was lying on the table writing a diary, and when she heard this, she said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Fu Mingxian said weakly: "Um...I'm only twelve years old!"
"Huh?" Everyone was immediately discouraged!
At this time, two girls walked in.
One has short, sleek hair, is very tall, and looks very handsome.
The other one has long hair, is very petite, and has very smart eyes, showing a bit of eccentricity.
The two stood together like a young couple. They bowed politely to everyone and said: "Ni Meng Howl!"
Xiao Qiang said casually: "Oh haha!"
The short-haired girl said in surprise: "Can you speak Japanese?"
Xiao Qiang said: "A little bit! We used to have a partner from Japan, but she has returned to Japan!"
The short-haired girl said: "Is it Akina Nakamori?"
"Yes!"
"Wow, she is super popular in Japan now and is the idol of all girls!"
Xiao Qiang raised her head and looked at the ceiling: "I am so envious, I really want to debut! ”
Everyone introduced each other. The short-haired girl is named Amami Yuki, and the long-haired girl is called Kudo Shizuka. They were both brought by Yang Ye from Japan.
It’s not like Shizuka Kudo, the girls couldn’t move their eyes away from Yuki Amami.
Xiao Qiang finally couldn't help but said: "You are so handsome!"
Tianhai Youxi scratched her head in embarrassment and said: "Actually, I originally had long hair, but Yang Sang said that I was more suitable for short hair, so he let me I cut my hair short and changed my stage name to Tianhai Yuxi."
Xiao Qiang said: "You must not grow your hair long. In my eyes, you are the second best in the world. Handsome!”
“Who is the most handsome?”
“Of course it’s Brother Ye!”
"Yang Sang is indeed handsome!"
"How did you come to Hong Kong?"
Tianhai Youxi said in confusion: "I don't know either! One day, my grandmother When she asked me what I wanted to do in the future, I said I wanted to be an actress. But she said, a kid like you, who looks like a burdock, can’t be an actor.”
“Hahaha,” Burdock! Um, I’m sorry...please continue.”
Burdock is a root vegetable common in Japan and Taiwan, and it looks like a yam.
"I was very sad, and then Yang Sang suddenly appeared in front of me, as if a god descended from heaven. He said, do you want to be an actress? Come with me!
Then I took him to see My mother. My mother said that as a girl, you should pursue your dreams, so I followed Yang Sang to Hong Kong."
"It's amazing!" Several girls were stunned.
"What about you?" Xiao Qiang asked Shizuka Kudo with great interest.
“I am relatively ordinary. I went to Kadokawa Office for an interview and wanted to become an idol like Hiroko Yakushimaru. But President Kadokawa said that I was too beautiful and not suitable to be an idol, so he eliminated me. Then Yang Sang thought I was good at singing, so he took me to Hong Kong.”
Zhou Huimin asked strangely: "Why can't you become an idol if you are too beautiful?"
Shizuka Kudo said helplessly: "President Kadokawa said that what he needs is an ordinary, ordinary girl next door, so that he can feel close to her. "
"What a strange logic. Anyway, you are welcome to join, let's work together!"
......
Nakamori Akina is a disciple of Yamaguchi Momoe! In the name of Yang Ye, he debuted and became famous overnight.
If Yang Ye wants to bring people from Japan to Hong Kong, it will be very easy. Who doesn’t want to become a popular idol like Akina Nakamori?
However, Yang Ye only brought back two. The PLUS version of Girls' Generation he planned was a nine-member group, and there should not be too many Japanese and Korean members.
The singing skills of a girl group are not very important, just one or two singing roles are enough, and more importantly, they must be distinctive.
Among the current members, Amami Yuki, Kudo Shizuka, Wang Zuxian, Xiao Qiang, and Zhou Huimin are all very recognizable.
Yi Nengjing and Cui Zhenzhen are relatively weak.
And there are only seven members now, three from Japan and South Korea, three from Taiwan, and one from Hong Kong.
Fu Mingxian is too young, and she has a special status. If she joins, she will cause a lot of trouble to other team members. Yang Ye plans to let her make her debut directly in movies in the future.
We still need to find two team members from Hong Kong.
......
In the screening room, Yang Ye, Xia Meng, Jiang Zhiqiang, McDonald, Li Dawei, Wen Jun and others are watching the new film "Pretty Girl"!
This movie is about four problematic girls who don't like going to school and run into society, working as dancers and taking drugs.
The last one became an addict; one committed suicide due to a broken love; the other got burned because of his playfulness.
The only one left is Lin Biqi. Her beloved boyfriend is back. She thought she could start over, but her boyfriend was hacked to death.
In the last shot, Lin Biqi watched her boyfriend's body being carried into the police car, leaning on her mother's shoulder with tears in her eyes.
Shouted: "Mom!"
"Bah, bang, bang!"
Yang Ye took the lead in applauding and praised: "Lao Mai, you made this movie well. You used a pseudo-documentary technique to shoot social reality issues, which increased the persuasiveness and credibility. . Manager Jiang, I suggest that this movie be the highlight of the Easter schedule!”
Jiang Zhiqiang previously made a mock documentary "The Tragic War", which was a box office hit. Therefore, there was no discrimination against films made with documentary techniques. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
McDonald and other film creators were very happy. For the first time they made a movie, they got a Good schedule, this is their affirmation. Moreover, everyone admired Yang Ye's vision for movies. He said that the movie was well made and it was going to be a big hit!
Xia Mengdao: "This girl named Lin Biqi did a great job. She fully interpreted the stubborn, arrogant, self-defeating and helpless mentality of a fallen girl. Where did you find it?"< br>
Li Dawei said: "Producer Mak decided to use a semi-documentary approach to shoot this movie, using all live sound recordings, and all the actors were new actors who were close to the characters themselves. He also gave me the task of finding actors. I just patiently walked on the street. Wandering around, looking for those pretty little girls with personality. I found this Lin Biqi outside Kowloon Walled City.
She has a lot of personality. I asked her if she wanted to. When filming a movie, she asked if she would be the heroine. If she didn’t want to be a heroine, then I would agree first.
It turned out that she was really talented, so we simply revised the script and changed the names of the characters. With Bi Qi, her character was also changed to be closer to her own. The final result was really good!"
Yang Ye gave a thumbs up: "It does have some talent, and of course it fits the character very well! , making her a perfect match in this movie. Everyone else in the movie pales in comparison. You are very lucky to find her.”
Wen Jun sighed: "I don't know if it was her good fortune or our luck to find Lin Biqi to make this film!"
Yang Ye clapped his hands and said: "The momentum of Hong Kong movies this year is very strong. Our Christmas season "Sword Rain" broke 16 million Hong Kong dollars, Golden Harvest's "The Prodigal Son" reached 9 million.
In the following Spring Festival period, Shaw Brothers' "Eighteen Martial Arts" had a box office of 9.9 million, and New Arts City's "The Best". "Partner" is amazing, with 26 million, breaking the Hong Kong box office record.
What does this mean? It means that our Hong Kong movies have ushered in a golden age. Next, the scale of Hong Kong's theaters will continue to expand, and the film output will continue. As the market continues to rise, movie box office will continue to rise.
But opportunities also mean challenges and risks. If the market is so good, there will inevitably be a large influx of hot money, which will lead to the mushrooming of film companies in Hong Kong. .
They will produce a large number of movies and flood the market, taking up a lot of screen time. In this case, film quality becomes particularly important.
If it were in the past, if you made a bad movie, you could still waste time in the theater and waste money on the box office, but you won't have this opportunity in the future.
If your film is not good, it might be a one-day tour, and it won’t even have a chance to be released!
Under such a wave, we at Baiyang Pictures must be the mainstay, work side by side, produce the best works, earn the most money, and more importantly, leave our own legacy in this golden age A glorious page! "
"Okay! ”
Yang Ye's words made everyone excited!
Having caught up with the golden age, the trendsetters who are at the top of the times must leave their names.
Life is as long as the trees and grass are in autumn, who doesn’t want to leave a mark in history?
McDonald couldn't help but sing "Under the Lion Rock": "We are in the same boat, we swear to follow each other, fearless and fearless..."
Everyone was stunned, this horse seemed to be riding on a horse. Not very suitable for the occasion.
No matter what, everyone likes to flatter the boss, so they sang together: "We are at the same end of the world, hand in hand to smooth the ruggedness. We, all of us, worked hard to write that immortal famous line!"
...
"Director Wang, Director Zhang, Miss Liu, long time no see!"
Yang Ye and Xia Meng personally picked up the plane at the airport, giving the mainland trio a lot of face. .
Wang Yang's face glowed red and he said: "Mr. Yang, Ms. Yang, you are too polite!"
"Get in the car first, we have prepared a banquet to welcome you."
In front of so many people, Yang Ye did not have any communication with Liu Xiaoqing.
The group of people arrived at Donglai Plaza, and the mainland trio were immediately attracted by this huge shopping mall.
However, this is not the first time for the three of them to go abroad. They have all seen the world, so naturally they will not make jokes about country people coming to the city.
In front of Yang Ye and Xia Meng, he acted very calmly to avoid being looked down upon.
Yang Ye booked a private room in Liyuan. After a few people took their seats, the dishes were served in a flowing stream.
Zhang Huaxun and Liu Xiaoqing are from Sichuan, and they are not used to Cantonese food at all, especially Liu Xiaoqing, who will not eat without chili.
But when the waiter served the food, he actually brought a bottle of chili sauce, which made the two of them feel warmer.
After a while, Yang Ye said: "According to the rules of the Academy Awards, those who are shortlisted will be qualified to become judges. So if Director Zhang and Miss Liu are interested, they can go to the organizing committee tomorrow Register your membership card. From now on, you will be the lifelong judges of the Academy Awards and have the qualifications to judge awards for the Academy Awards."
Wang Yang said strangely: "We are mainland filmmakers and can also participate in the selection of awards. Like a prize?”
Yang Ye said: "Of course, the judges of the Academy Awards include film producers, directors, actors, photographers, editors, martial artists, musicians... all kinds of film professionals. Once anyone is shortlisted, they will automatically become Lifelong judges, even if they no longer work in the film industry, are still qualified to participate in voting and awarding. "
Xia Meng added: "In addition to being a member by being shortlisted, two members can also be jointly recommended, and they can also be invited. A person from the film industry has become a judge of the Academy Awards. Director Wang, if you are interested, I can invite you to join the meeting together with Aye."
Wang Yang is the director of Beijing Film Studio after all, so there is no reason. Zhang Huaxun and Liu Xiaoqing became judges of the Academy Awards, but he was not!
So Xia Meng immediately extended an invitation to Wang Yang. Wang Yang thought it was quite interesting and it was an honor for him, so he readily agreed.
Liu Xiaoqing said strangely: "Then if we become members, will we have to attend the Academy Awards every year in the future?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "No, you just need to leave your address, and the organizing committee will send you a ballot every year. If you don't want to vote, it's okay to abstain.
But except for the best movie, everyone can only vote For awards related to your major, for example, Xiaoqing, if you are an actor, you can only vote for the Actor Award.”
The more Wang Yang heard about it, the more interesting it became. The Hundred Flowers Award in the Mainland is decided by audience voting, while the Golden Rooster Award is decided every year. A jury will be established to select all awards.
This Academy Award is actually selected jointly by qualified industry insiders, which sounds like it is much more impartial.
Because relying solely on mass voting is inevitably unprofessional, having a jury every year will be affected by the taste preferences of the judges.
After finishing the topic of the Academy Awards, Xia Meng said: "I would like to give you three good news. The movie "The Mysterious Buddha" has been released overseas and the box office is not bad. It has achieved a box office of 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. The global box office is close to 8 million US dollars, and the film companies who purchased the copyright have made money, and they are all looking forward to Director Zhang's next movie."
The three of them looked at each other and were very happy. This is a great event. ah!
I earn foreign exchange for the country, and the movies I made are still being screened overseas. How glorious this is!
Yang Ye smiled and said: "We specially asked people to take pictures of the overseas release of "The Mysterious Buddha", and also conducted interviews with overseas tourists and European and American friends about their views on the film. I’ll bring the video to you so that you can focus on promoting it after you return home.”
Wang Yang’s eyes widened when he heard this.
"The Mysterious Big Buddha" exploded at the box office and made a lot of money for Beijing Film Studio.
If there were more movies like this, the welfare of the employees in the factory would be greatly improved.
Unfortunately, due to pressure, they did not dare to make more movies like this.
This Yang Ye is so good at getting things done.
This video tape is definitely a treasure!
After taking this back, as soon as the news was reported, overseas audiences rushed to watch Chinese movies and gave them positive reviews.
Who is not proud after hearing this?
“I’m determined, I’m determined!”
The three of them raised their glasses to toast Yang Ye, and Zhang Huaxun was almost in tears.
Some people in China criticized him verbally, but an overseas compatriot tried every means to support him!
Yang Ye drank the wine in the glass and said: "One more thing, Mr. Jin Yong liked "The Mysterious Buddha" very much after watching it. He personally adapted his "Book, Sword, Enmity" into a movie script, and I hope that Director Zhang can be invited to direct this film.”
These days, everyone from emperors to generals to traffickers and footmen is a fan of Jin Yong. Zhang Huaxun heard that Jin Yong liked his movies and adapted them himself. I wanted to ask him to direct my work, and I was immediately flattered.
However, he did not dare to agree to this casually and glanced at Wang Yang.
Yang Ye said again: "Director Wang, I hope to cooperate with Beijing Film Studio to shoot this movie. All the funds and equipment will be provided by our Jade Bird Film Company. The domestic copyright belongs to you, and the overseas copyright belongs to us. ”
Nowadays, co-production of movies between the Mainland and Hong Kong is nothing new. Emei Film Factory and Xiaoxiang Film Factory have both co-produced films with Hong Kong.
In this case, I, Beijing Film Studio, cannot lag behind.
Wang Yang said happily: "You can consider it!"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Well, I will make arrangements for you two to have an interview with Mr. Jin Yong!"
