Zhang Guorong left happily, and Yang Ye took out a piece of paper from the drawer, which read: "Female Boxer" character list.
After Tony Jaa's "The Fighter" became a global hit, director Prachia Pinkayao launched another "The Fighter". The protagonist is a loli who is extremely capable of fighting... Jie Jia Yaning.
This is simply tailor-made for Li Saifeng, because Li Saifeng, like Jie Jia Yaning, is in the form of a lolita, and she is cuter than Jie Jia Yaning.
So after Yang Ye finished filming "Boxing Fighter", he immediately created "Female Boxing Fighter" for Li Saifeng!
This is also the reason why "Boxer" was filmed but was delayed and not released.
Because it is difficult for a little girl to be the protagonist of a martial arts action film to arouse interest, so Yang Ye wants "Female Boxer" to take advantage of the popularity of "Boxer".
After "Boxer" is finished, "Female Boxer" will be released immediately to catch up with the popularity, so that it can attract the audience to the greatest extent and create the greatest benefits.
And the two movies are originally linked and have a certain relationship.
The plot of "Female Boxer" is very simple:
The gang leader Kishimoto from Japan made a deal with the Thai gang and met the Thai girl Axin. Kishimoto and Axin fell in love.
But because Kishimoto was hunted down by Thai gangsters, he had to flee back to Japan.
After Kishimoto left, Axin gave birth to a daughter, Aning.
A Ning is an autistic person who does not know how to communicate with others, but has sensitive hearing and a photographic memory of complex movements.
She learned amazing fighting skills by watching the fighting scenes of Bruce Lee and Tony Jaa on TV.
She witnessed that her mother was often bullied, so she stood up to protect her mother and beat the bad guys to death...
Yang Ye modified it slightly:
Taiwanese gang leader Aaron made a deal with a Hong Kong gang and met Hong Kong girl A Xin, and the two fell in love.
A-Long was hunted by a Hong Kong gang and fled back to Taiwan. A-Xin became pregnant and gave birth to A-Ning, and he raised his daughter alone.
The autistic girl played by Jiejia Yaning learned fighting skills by watching the battle scenes of Bruce Lee and Tony Jaa on TV.
Of course it was changed to the autistic girl played by Li Saifeng who learned fighting skills by watching the battle scenes of Bruce Lee and Yang Ye on TV.
It not only pays tribute to Bruce Lee, but also allows Yang Ye to act cool, without any sense of disobedience!
……
Yang Ye wrote Li Saifeng’s name behind the heroine Aning.
Then write Ti Long’s name in the column of the heroine’s father, Aaron, and Zheng Peipei’s name in the column of the heroine’s mother, Axin.
These two roles are very important and can be played very well in the movie. Of course, they have to be played by famous stars.
Ti Lung and Zheng Peipei are both top players of the previous generation, so they are very suitable.
Yang Ye wrote Wang Jing’s name in the fat column, Xie Xian’s name in the villain BOSS column, and Zheng Zeshi’s name in the pork guy column...
Xiao Pang is the male protagonist in name, but in reality he is not very important. He does not have many scenes, and is not as heavy as Aning’s parents.
His identity is a little fat man who grew up with Aning. Yang Ye didn't even give him a name, just called him Little Fatty.
Xiao Pang's role in the film is equivalent to An Ning's brother. He found A Xin's account book and found that many people owed her money.
And Ah Xin was suffering from cancer and had no money for treatment, so Xiaopang rode a motorcycle and took Ah Ning to violently collect debts!
During the process of collecting debts, Aning showed off his power and beat the debtors to the ground.
Xiao Pang has a smoother image and is a bit timid. Although He has no abilities, but he will still stand up to protect Aning at critical moments.
Yang Ye thought for a while, and among the fat little actors in Hong Kong, only Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Jing were more suitable. However, he didn't have a good impression of Zeng Zhiwei, so he filled in Wang Jing's name.
Although Wang Jing is a director, he likes filming very much. He often plays some vulgar and slippery characters, or the role of a bullied character.
After filling out the list of roles, Yang Ye began to fill in the list of staff, such as assistant directors, photographers, costume designers, etc...
Yang Ye doesn't care whether these people have schedules or not, there is still one month left before filming. Time, as long as he fills in the name, the other party will find a way to free up the schedule, it is so strong!
After filling out everything, Yang Ye called Du Qifeng over and said: "A Feng, you will be the assistant director for this play. I will match the people according to the list. Aman and Ti Long have already been confirmed to star. You can just send them the script when the time comes."
To Qifeng agreed, took a look at the list, he knew most of them, and left.
To Qifeng is filming a TV series on ATV, but the boss called his name, so he can just ask the TV station to change the director. Anyway, TV series mainly depend on the producer, and the director is not very important.
Johnnie To made a movie four years ago. After filming, he felt that he was not capable enough, so he came back to make TV series.
But his goal is to make movies, and making TV series is just to accumulate experience. Working as an assistant director with Yang Ye, you can learn a lot, which is much more cost-effective than making TV series.
But he didn’t know that before long, he would be promoted to a film director.
Just after Du Qifeng left, Hu Yinmeng came in and said: "The CCTV inspection team will come to Hong Kong next week. General Manager Huang asked if you want to come forward?"
Yang Ye asked: "The one who came is Who? ”
Hu Yinmeng looked at the list and read: "Director Wang Feng, director Huang Yihe..."
Yang Ye said: "Damn, isn't it usually the deputy director who goes abroad for inspections? Why did the director come in person? ?”
“How did I know?”
Yang Ye thought for a while and said: “Postponing my trip to Japan, tell General Manager Huang that I will receive him together next week. CCTV inspection team. Also told General Manager Zhang of Red Man Company that I will be a guest at Akina Nakamori’s concert.”
“Got it!” Hu Yinmeng turned around and left!
"Wait!"
"What are you doing?"
"Let's watch a movie together tonight!"
......
Because I am worried about being recognized. Causing unnecessary trouble, Yang Ye took his girl to watch movies in public cinemas and never chose prime time.
After get off work, the two went to have a candlelight dinner first, and then went to the hotel to have a fierce battle for two hours.
Then I took a shower and went out, and walked slowly to the cinema. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
The two of them waited for the movie to start before sneaking in and sitting in the back row. They were watching "The Frog Prince" directed by Wang Jing.
This is a romantic comedy film starring three beauties, including Zhong Zhentao and Guan Zhilin, Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Manyu.
Hu Yinmeng had no interest in this kind of movie. She complained: "Why don't you watch your apprentice's movie instead of watching this one?"
Yang Ye said: "Isn't this a date between us? Of course we are watching romance movies!"
Hu Yinmeng said: "Oh, it's better to watch romance movies!"
Nima, Yang Yefu , he said: "If you had said so earlier, then I would take you to Nikkatsu's theater to watch salty movies."
Nikkatsu's theater specializes in showing Japanese short films. Hu Yinmeng listened. , with a look of disgust on his face: "So, you go there often?" Yang Ye said confidently: "Otherwise, who did I learn so many moves from?"
"You are so perverted!"
"Then do you like it?"
"Yes!"
"Hahaha!"
Two people I wasn't even interested in the movie that was playing. I came to the cinema mainly for the atmosphere.
Near them, there were a few couples sitting sporadically. Those people had no intention of watching the movie, so they all hugged each other and ate and ate.
Yang Ye was not polite, hugged Hu Yinmeng and started chewing, what he wanted was this tune.
Although Yang Ye and Hu Yinmeng are not interested in "The Frog Prince", its box office performance is actually quite impressive.
In this year's Easter schedule, "The Frog Prince" produced by Yongsheng, "British Pipa" produced by New Art City, and "Laughing Tai Chi" produced by Baiyang compete on the same stage.
As a result, the box office of "The Frog Prince" exceeded 18 million, ranking first among "British Pipa" and "Laughing Tai Chi". Wang Jing really has two talents.
"Laughing Tai Chi" is the second movie starring Donnie Yen in this time and space. This time without Yang Ye, the appeal is greatly reduced, but the box office still exceeded 10 million.
But it is already very impressive. The box office of "Laughing Tai Chi" in the original time and space was only over 6 million.
Last year's "Kowloon Walled City" did bring a lot of popularity to Donnie Yen.
This is already the highest-grossing film directed by Yuan Heping.
After this battle, Yuan Heping's confidence greatly increased and he decided to cooperate with Donnie Yen again.
Since Zhen Zidan can break dance, and break dancing is now very popular in Hong Kong, in order to follow the trend, they decided to combine Kung Fu and Break Dance to create a brand new Kung Fu Break Dance!
The film still follows a funny line. It is probably about Donnie Yen who can break dance. A martial arts idiot saw it and insisted that Donnie Yen was a master of kung fu, so he tried every means to show off with Donnie Yen. Next, many jokes were made.
In order to increase its appeal, Yuan Heping also invited two members of Girls’ Generation to be the heroines.
……
Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Songcheng!
Yang Ye and Huang Xizhao slowly walked in accompanied by the CCTV inspection team. Huang Xizhao introduced: "This Song Dynasty was built one-to-one according to the scenery on the River Along the River During the Qingming Festival. We in Taiwan shoot costume dramas and often come here to shoot scenes. "
In October last year, CCTV established a TV drama production center. This time we came to Hong Kong to inspect, mainly because we wanted to learn from the advanced experience of our Hong Kong counterparts.
CCTV only produced its first TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" in 1982, while Hong Kong began filming long-form dramas more than ten years ago.
In the past two years, Japanese TV series "Zi Sanshiro", "Volleyball Players" and "Blood Doubt" have been introduced to China. Each one has caused a sensation and has fascinated mainland audiences.
Compared with the Japanese dramas, the TV series produced by CCTV were simply relying on the defense. The leaders of CCTV couldn't sit still, so they went to ATV to inspect and learn from advanced experience.
ATV's greatest strength is the production of ancient costume martial arts dramas. After leading the delegation to visit the studio, they came to Songcheng to visit the location filming location.
The group enjoyed the scenery along the street and chatted while walking.
Songcheng requires admission, and you have to wear ancient costumes to enter Songcheng, so Yang Ye and the group of people wearing modern clothes are particularly eye-catching. Fortunately, today is a working day, and there are not many tourists in Songcheng.
Within a few minutes of walking, a bold fan approached Yang Ye and asked for his autograph. Yang Ye did not refuse and responded to every request, and even cooperated to take photos with the fans.
It is necessary to maintain a good image when going out.
When taking photos, the female fan even pouted her lips and pretended to kiss Yang Ye's face, which shocked the inspection team and secretly sighed that this was really offensive.
After sightseeing for a while, we came to the filming location of the popular ATV drama series "Lu Xiaofeng". Wan Ziliang played the role of Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows.
In this scene, Lu Xiaofeng needs to float down from the roof to demonstrate Lu Xiaofeng’s peerless qinggong.
In order to get the best effect, the crew moved Titan over.
Nowadays, when filming in the Mainland, you don’t even know how to draw a wire. The year before last, CCTV started filming "Journey to the West". Director Yang Jie even came to Hong Kong to learn the technology for several months. Finally, ATV and Ziqi Company sent Several professionals went over to help.
At that time, CCTV planned to return the favor and introduce several ATV TV series to be broadcast in the mainland, but ATV refused because at that time Yang Ye did not want to have too much trouble with Taiwan.
After two years of development, Yang Ye’s wings have become stronger and stronger. Now the development in Southeast Asia has gradually taken shape. The construction of theaters in North America has also made small progress, not to mention Taiwan.
Starting this year, Yang Ye will make a big move into the mainland market!
Due to Yang Ye’s unknown special contribution, the door to the mainland market is open to him at any time. He can go wherever he wants!
Wang Feng looked at the large equipment at the shooting site and was very surprised.
In fact, it's because he is so rare as a director. For example, the Spring Festival Gala director Huang Yihe who follows him often goes abroad for inspections and has seen a lot, so he is not very surprised.
Huang Xizhao casually introduced the uses of these equipment to the delegation.
A female comrade in the inspection group saw a man lying on the ground, looking at the sky with something like a telescope, and asked curiously: "What is this comrade doing?"
Yang Ye explained: "He is the lighting engineer, observing the wind direction, clouds, and lighting. When shooting outdoor scenes, these factors will affect the shooting effect. For example, the wind speed must be taken into account when shooting wires, otherwise the actors will be in danger. "
Just listen to the lighting engineer say: "The altitude is 6,500 feet, the flow speed is... 18 miles, and we can shoot in about ten minutes. "
Director Lai Shuiqing took the walkie-talkie and said: "Attention all departments, filming will start in ten minutes. Ah Liang, get on the roof!"
Wan Ziliang over there heard this, quickly touched up his makeup, and climbed up with several staff members on the roof of a building.
Yang Ye pointed to the sky and said: "They need to wait for the clouds to drift over and form a cloudy environment."
After hearing this, the inspection team was all confused.
A staff member suddenly ran over and said: "Young Master Yang, Manager Huang, you are in the frame, please give way."
Yang Ye said "Oh" and said: "Sorry!"
Then he said to the inspection team: "They will use a wide-angle lens later, and we are not suitable here. There is a teahouse over there, why don't we go Drink tea over there, chat and watch!"
After that, he led everyone to the teahouse. Wang Yang said with some admiration: "Mr. Yang, as an entrepreneur with great reputation, Artist. Along the way, I found that you have no airs at all. You can be called approachable and open-minded!"
Yang Ye said with a smile: "Director Wang, I really agree with you. Mainland Chairman Liu said that revolution only involves division of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low. It is fate for everyone to work together, so why should we be arrogant? "
Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh. , they just said that, who would not be respectful to a leader as big as him?
In a situation like the one just now, it is absolutely impossible for the staff to just run over and ask him to go away!
Wang Feng sighed: "Mr. Yang said it well, long live the working people!" (End of Chapter)
