Chapter 311 What’s none of my business
“As a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, even if we are not happy to take back the land that has been lost for hundreds of years, we cannot object to it, right? Besides, ATV just did an objective and fair report.”
“This is a national stance, not a political stance!”
After hearing Yang Ye’s eloquent words, Gu Zhenfu sighed and said: “From my standpoint, I can I understand you, but I can't control the situation. I want to ask, how will you respond if the authorities decide to block you completely?"
Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "No!"
< br>
"Don't respond?"
"No response! I just focus on my entertainment career and have never made any comments about politics. If this means banning me, then I have nothing to say."
< br>“That’s a big loss for your film company!”
“To be honest, blocking can threaten others, but it cannot threaten me. You also know that my largest market is in North America. , in Japan and South Korea. For me, the island market is just the icing on the cake.
Blocking me will cause even greater losses to the island. My company goes to the island to film scenes every year. Created a lot of jobs
When you buy my movies every year, you not only earn huge box office profits, but also enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people on the island. Blocking me will only cause a lot of complaints! "
Gu Zhenfu said with a smile: "You are so confident! "
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm confident, it's just self-comfort. Of course I don't want to be banned. "
"It doesn't matter to you, that's all. You took Miss Lin Qingxia to the mainland to film, which made her unable to return to the island. Don't you blame yourself? "
"You mentioned this, and I would like to say a few more words. The reason why Qingxia went to the mainland was actually very simple. She was going to find her relatives.
She has a sister living in the mainland. Qingxia is very filial and cannot bear the thought of her mother getting sick from missing her daughter, so she goes to the mainland to find her relatives.
Qingxia is a big star, she has the ability to do this, but what about the countless ordinary people? I suggest that if you really care about the people, you should find a way to solve this matter.
My wife’s flesh and blood are not allowed to see each other. This is a man-made tragedy. It should end! "
After hearing this, Gu Zhenfu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Aye, whether it is from a personal emotional point of view or from the interests of China Film Company, I do not agree to ban you. Yes, but some people scream more fiercely, so we have to consider it.
I also know that you have been active on the island, and many people have taken advantage of you and spoken for you. Later, those people softened up. That was the end of it, and the lifting of the lockdown was a matter of course.
It’s a pity that your ATV report, plus your record company helping that Li Guyi release his songs, all your previous efforts have been in vain. "
Speaking of this matter, Yang Ye felt a little sorry for his money. Hu Yinmeng dragged her father up and down to take care of it, and finally it was all gone.
Mom, this money It can’t be in vain, Hu Yinmeng can’t live up to his hard work.
He said: "Do you think this will work? Didn't "First Blood" recently apply to be released on the island? Can you think of a way to get it passed the review and released on the island? Anyway, I didn’t appear in this film. ”
Gu Zhenfu was stunned: "Isn't that directed by you?"
Yang Ye said confidently: "That was directed by Nick Young, what does it have to do with me, Yang Ye?"
Gu Zhenfu couldn't help laughing, He laughed out loud and said: "You are hiding your ears and trying to cover up the truth!"
Yang Ye said: "Isn't that what everyone does now? I am not the only one who went to the mainland to film. If Li Hanxiang hadn't been reported by Fang Yihua, I believe you will also turn a blind eye."
Gu Zhenfu understands what Yang Ye means. As long as "First Blood" is successfully released on the island, it means Yang Ye's support. If the movie can be released on the island, then it will be logical for other movies to be released.
If Yang Ye releases a movie, China Film will earn tens of millions of Taiwan dollars.
Fuck, who doesn’t want to make this money?
Gu Zhenfu is one of the ten thousand people who is unwilling to block Yang Ye, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to Singapore to meet Yang Ye.
“Let me try it!”
……
As soon as Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong, he sent out invitations to all media to attend the premiere of "Kowloon Walled City".
He was so busy that Hu Yinmeng walked in and said: "The news from my father is that "First Blood" will be released on the island."
Yang Ye Overjoyed, he hugged her over, kissed her on the red lips, and said gratefully: "Yinyin, thank you!" "It's all your bad idea that gave Chairman Gu."
Hu Yinmeng felt a little frustrated. In the past few months, she had defeated the power of the Nine Dragons and Two Tigers on the island, but the results have not yet been achieved. Yang Ye had a bad idea but couldn't help it.
Yang Ye said seriously: "Yinyin, without the efforts of you and our dad, my bad idea would only make people laugh to death."
This makes sense, if those people hadn't Taking advantage of him, how could this ridiculous idea be passed?
Just like when "The Shining" was released, Kubrick wanted to cut some bloody scenes into the trailer.
However, the MPAA stipulates that blood cannot appear in the trailers of non-restricted movies.
As a result, Kubrick mistook a deer for a horse and was stunned to say that it was paint, but he actually passed.
Are MPAA people stupid? Of course not, just spend money on public relations.
Reality is so magical!
It is the same now, Yang Ye insists on saying that "First Blood" was directed by Nick Young and has nothing to do with Yang Ye.
Those who took advantage of others wisely chose to shut up!
According to this formula, after "First Blood" is officially released on the island, "Shanghai Noon" can also be released.
Because it was taken by Jackie Chan, what does it have to do with Chen Long?
Yang Ye was very happy and said: "Yinyin, make a reservation tomorrow night and let's celebrate."
Hu Yinmeng said: "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow." "Why not? Your relatives are here?”
“Bah! What are you thinking about? Someone is inviting you to drink tomorrow!”
"Who is it? With such grandeur, I still have to go?"
"It's two brothers, surnamed Xiang." Hu Yinmeng said, pulling out a post and handing it to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye opened the post, took a look at it, thought about it, and said: "These two bad guys are not easy to mess with, so let's go there!"
Hu Yinmeng flipped it Rolling his eyes: "Were you still arrogant just now?"
Yang Ye chuckled and asked, "Do our dad and their dad know each other?"
Hu Yinmeng said: "We know each other, but we're not familiar with each other."
"You go with me tomorrow!"
Hu Yinmeng said with a smile: "Are you asking me to embolden you? "
"Am I afraid of those two bad guys? It's better to do less than to do more! The Hong Kong film market is booming, so these two brothers want to make money in the film industry, so they have to pay their respects to me!"
"Then you stay with me tonight."
...
Xiang Sheng said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, Miss Hu, the two of you are here, it's so wonderful!"
This guy wears a pair of glasses and looks kind and friendly. He was angry and had the temperament of a gentle scum, dressed like a beast.
His brother Xiang Zhenmian was more vicious than him, standing next to him like a bodyguard.
Yang Ye shook hands with the two brothers politely. Hu Yinmeng just snorted softly and set up the eldest lady chart.
Hu Yinmeng's father was much higher in rank than the two brothers' fathers, and he could show off in front of them.
Of course, she would not show off like this normally, but today she is supporting her man.
The two brothers did not show dissatisfaction and politely invited them into the box.
After sitting down, Yang Ye said straight to the point: "You two want to make a movie?"
The two brothers looked at each other and Xiang Sheng said: "Mr. Yang is quick to talk, that's right!"< br>
"Why did you want to make movies?"
Xiang Sheng: "I have done a lot of business, but I still prefer to make movies. I hope to make more good-looking movies for the audience to enjoy, and then see the audience watching I feel very satisfied when I laugh and applaud in the theater. These are feelings that cannot be bought with money."
This is a high-sounding statement, but Yang Ye doesn't believe it at all.
He asked: "What do you two want me to do?"
Xiang Shengdao: "To be honest, we had a film company five years ago. At that time it was called Yongsheng wins. We made a kung fu comedy with my brother as the protagonist. We made two movies at that time, one was "Zama" and the other was "Liangshan Strange Moves". Unfortunately, the box office failed and the company went bankrupt. ”
"Later I realized that if a kung fu movie wants to be a hit, it must hire a kung fu star with a loud voice. The most powerful kung fu stars in Hong Kong are all under your command, Mr. Yang, so naturally we have to come to visit the pier."
"Easy to say, who do you two want to invite?"
Xiang Sheng didn't say to invite Yang Ye. In his opinion, it is impossible for Yang Ye, a boss, to come out to help others film. He said: "Chen Long!"
Yang Ye said: "Is there a script?"
"Of course!"
Xiang Sheng handed the script to Yang Ye, who glanced at it casually.
Rely on the defense!
Yang Ye put away the script and said: "I can understand the two of you wanting to do big things when you open a new company, but Aaron is too expensive, so I'm afraid it's not suitable!
"Shanghai "High Noon" has grossed US$70 million at the global box office, helping Aaron become a top star in Hollywood. His current salary has risen to US$3 million."
The two brothers looked at each other, Xiang Zhen was more stunned than his younger brother. Some blurted out and asked: "That was filming in Hollywood. Can't it be so expensive to film in Hong Kong?"
Yang Ye said: "If it is a Hong Kong film, you can charge less, but it must be at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars, otherwise there is no need to discuss!
And if Aaron wants to start a movie now, the investment amount will be less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, our company does not agree, and we are worried about damaging the brand.”
The two brothers couldn’t come up with 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yang Ye made it clear that he was making things difficult.
Xiang Zhen was so angry that he wanted to get angry on the spot. Xiang Sheng quickly gave his brother a look to tell him to calm down.
Yang Ye is not easy to mess with. Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua were both punished by him, but they didn't even think about taking revenge afterward.
Although the two brothers have some backgrounds, the Kowloon Walled City behind Yang Ye is not a vegetarian.
Xiang Sheng pushed up his glasses and said politely: "I don't know how Mr. Yang can teach my brother?"
Yang Ye said: I think as a new company, you should not start from the beginning. Such a big investment.
Let’s make it smaller first. It’s easy to say if you make a profit, and you won’t feel bad if you lose. You two are right! "
Although Yang Ye's words are very reasonable, he was too pretentious just now. He said that he would not accept investments less than 50 million. Xiang Sheng refused to show weakness and said: "The truth is like this That's right, but if it's too young, we won't be very interested! ”
Yang Ye raised his thumbs and said: "Domineering! Since you two have found me, I will make some plans for you!"
The two brothers hurriedly listened attentively!
