Chapter 347 The Future of the Walled City
The scene flashes back to the protagonist's childhood.
In the green field, Xiao Wu lay on the elephant's teeth and fell asleep holding the elephant's trunk...
"We regard elephants as brothers and relatives. We love Peace, oppose anyone harming elephants..."
With Yang Ye's affectionate narration, the scene returned to the restaurant. Yang Ye was lying on the ivory and moved with difficulty. He was not dead!
...
On the banks of the Lancang River, Yuxiang wore a beautiful dress and danced the peacock dance.
"Who calls softly, in the sky, in the clouds, let me imagine day and night, and come back to you in my dreams. To the south of the colorful clouds, in the direction of my heart, the peacock flies away, and the memories are long..."
In the melodious singing, her figure was elegant and agile, which made the audience in the cinema mesmerized!
Suddenly, a sound like a bell came from outside the screen.
"Dingling bell..."
Yuxiang turned her head beautifully, with a bright smile on her face.
On the country road covered with green grass, A Tian and Xiao Kang were walking towards her.
……
“Pa bang bang…”
The whole audience applauded, the game was really exciting.
The punches hit the flesh, they are so ferocious and cruel that the blood of those watching is boiling.
The presence of Yang Liping injects a touch of tenderness into this hormonal masculinity.
Amid warm applause, Yang Ye returned to the stage with a group of creators and began to answer questions from the audience.
Off the stage, Chen Long exhaled a breath and exchanged glances with Hong Jingbao beside him.
As professional action movie actors, they are naturally constantly analyzing the actions in the movie when watching the movie.
Chen Long asked: "What do you think?"
Hong Jingbao said: "The fighting was too fierce, especially the last high fist vs. Muay Thai, which fully demonstrated the power and skills of martial arts. . Relatively speaking, our previous martial arts moves were quite inferior."
Chen Longdao: "We are all from the theater. When designing moves, the first factor is that they must look good. This has never been the case. I thought about using ferociousness as a selling point."
Hong Jingbao sighed: "Yang Shao is really a dictionary of kung fu. I have never heard of a fist that is as fierce as Muay Thai."
Li Lianjie, who was sitting in the row behind them, explained: "Actually, Ang Quan is ancient Muay Thai. The two are inherited. It's just that Muay Thai was promoted by the Thais, while Ang Quan was not valued by us Chinese and gradually declined."
Hong Jingbao said: "That's it!"
Yuan Biao thought for a while and said: "Actually, Mr. Yang's action style just has no style. He has been opening up the boundaries of action movies and exploring action movies. possibilities. And what he taught us is just one of them."
Hong Jingbao nodded: "Yes, such as Aaron's humorous style and Ajie's martial arts route. It was all designed by Mr. Yang based on your own conditions. Of course, Aaron later added elements of thrilling stunts, which makes it a style of its own."
They were discussing in a low voice. Next door, Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner were also chatting.
Tom Cruise said: "Paula, I think I have found a way to get rid of the title of stinky actor."
Paula said: "You mean... Kung Fu?"
Tom said: "Yes, I hope to star in action movies and show off my own action stunts!"
Although Tom Cruise starred in two "Shanghai Noon" films with Chen Long, he He played a funny western cowboy. He didn't do much fighting, and all the action scenes were on Chen Long.
Paula asked: "What are you going to do?"
"First, of course, is to learn kung fu. Jack told me that Nick is proficient in all kinds of kung fu and is a living dictionary of kung fu. I have watched every one of his movies, and he really deserves this title."
"Tom, to be honest, I rarely watch this kind of action movie, but today's movie is really shocking. If you want to learn kung fu from Nick, I think it's a good idea!"
"Paula, do you think so too?"
"Nick is a kung fu master and a film master. He is also a shareholder of United Artists Pictures. If you can establish a relationship with him, it will be of great benefit to your career. Advantages. In fact, I have wanted to communicate with him for a long time, but he has been in Asia most of the time, so he has never had the chance!"
"Then do you think he will teach me?"
"He will. He chose you to star in "Shanghai Noon" because he liked you!"
"How do you know?"
"Although I can't see Nick, I can Isabel told me when I met her. Do you know who Isabel’s child is?”
“Could it be...” Tom Cruise was shocked.
“Isabel and I are best friends now!” Paula said proudly.
"Paula, I'm so lucky to meet you. Thank God for giving you to me!"
"Me too, Tom! Thank God!"
A few people were chatting, on the stage Deborah suddenly said: "Why didn't you see Miss Yang?"
Everyone then realized that Yang Liping had not come on stage. Yang Ye explained: "She went to prepare! The audience who came today are very good at seeing the country. A top-notch dance master personally performs the beautiful peacock dance for everyone, everyone is welcome!”
The dance Yang Liping just performed in the movie amazed everyone, but it was too short, the two dances totaled less than two minutes. , not very enjoyable.
Now that I heard that this beauty was going to perform on stage, I immediately burst into warm applause.
Yang Ye and others left amidst applause and handed the stage to Yang Liping.
In the gentle music, Yang Liping gradually appeared. Her long dress was as white as snow. From a distance, she looked like a noble and elegant peacock!
At this period, Yang Liping had not yet created "The Spirit of the Bird", and she danced the ordinary Dai peacock dance.
Her movements are light and dexterous, and her arms tremble softly and bonelessly, simulating a peacock "standing upright in the wind", "jumping and spinning", and "spreading its wings", all of which are lifelike and bring people into an illusory reality. realm.
People chased her elegant and moving figure, and for a moment, they even forgot to breathe.
Unfortunately, this dance lasted only a few minutes. The music stopped and the peacock finally stopped its gorgeous dance and froze in place.
The audience here couldn't help but sigh. After enjoying this dreamy dance today, they don't know when they can see it again.
The lights came on, and amid a burst of warm applause, Yang Liping bowed and thanked, and Yang Ye and Deborah returned to the stage.
Huang Zhan in the audience stood up and wanted to speak, Yang Ye quickly said: "Give Uncle Zhan a microphone!"
Huang Zhan took the phone and asked eagerly: "Do I have a chance to see this dance again?"
Yang Ye asked: "What will happen if I can't see it?"
"Life is no longer fun!"
Yang Ye was amused and said with a smile: "Isn't that too exaggerated?"
Huang Zhandao: "It's not an exaggeration at all, Miss Yang, when will you be free? ? I, Huang Zhan, would like to invite you to dinner and discuss the art of dance together! ”
"Yeah!" Yang Liping opened her mouth in surprise. Isn't this too direct for Hong Kong people?
Yang Ye said: "Uncle Zhan, although Dame Lin did not come today, today's premiere will be broadcast on the TV station!"
Huang Zhan said confidently: "I just wanted to How about discussing the art of dance with this Miss Yang?"
Yang Ye was too lazy to pay attention to him and said: "The venue is relatively simple today, so Miss Yang just danced casually. I plan to invite Ms. Yang to hold a dance party in Hong Kong, where everyone can see a more exciting performance!”
Hey guys, after a long time, this guy is advertising!
..."She is not a human, she is a fairy!"
Huang Zhan enthusiastically published a film review about "Boxer" in his column.
It was said to be a film review of "Boxer", but the only mention of "Boxer" was these two words, and the rest were all about Yang Liping.
“Yesterday I was invited to attend the premiere of Yang Ye’s “Boxing Fighter”. I have forgotten the movie. I only remember the dreamy peacock dance, which was both real and fake, real and imaginary. When I woke up, the graceful dance was still lingering in my mind, lingering..."
After reading Huang Zhan's film review, Yang Ye couldn't laugh or cry. He threw the newspaper away and said to Zhang Guoqing, an official of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office who was sitting opposite him and drinking tea: "Secretary Zhang , with the release of "Boxing Fighter", Comrade Yang Liping will definitely become famous. Holding a dance party in Hong Kong at this time will definitely bring the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong closer, don't you think? "
Zhang Guoqing smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, I know your heart for the party and the people! If you have requests and ideas, you can just raise them directly!"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "I heard I have taken British Foreign Minister He Wei to the capital. The matter of Hong Kong’s return will soon be settled, right?”
Zhang Guoqing said: “Yes, we have been talking about it for almost two years. It is not easy!”
Yang Ye said: "After the two countries reach an agreement, is there no need for the Kowloon Walled City to exist?"
Zhang Guoqing suddenly realized and said: "So you are here for this! To be honest, the Kowloon Walled City is It’s a hotbed of crime. It’s what the people want to demolish it, right?”
Yang Ye curled his lips and said: “The British Hong Kong government demolished it, and the people’s sentiments are also those of the British. What does it have to do with you?”
Zhang Guoqing's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"
"I hope the Kowloon Walled City can be preserved. If it must be demolished, we can wait for the SAR government to demolish it."
>
Zhang Guoqing asked strangely: "What is the reason for this?"
Yang Ye said: "After the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in 1974, the British Hong Kong government focused on cracking down on gangs. At present, Hong Kong's associations are well controlled.
But once the return is settled, Daiying will definitely make money crazily in his last days, and then there will be no time to manage the messy affairs of those societies.
Maybe it will happen again. Allowing freedom and even adding fuel to the flames will mess up Hong Kong and leave a mess for the country.
Looking at what Dai Ying has done around the world, every time he withdraws from a place, he will inevitably lay a lot of landmines there and cause chaos. The name Shit Stick didn’t come from nothing.”
Zhang Guoqing nodded and agreed with Yang Ye's statement. He said: "Then leaving Kowloon Walled City can solve the problem of rampant societies?"
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "No! But I have some reputation in Kowloon Walled City. If I keep Kowloon Walled City temporarily, it will leave me a base and give me the capital to fight against the association."
Zhang Guoqing said: "You can be your big star. , Big businessman, isn’t he good?”
Yang Ye said: “I have no interest in the society, I just want to protect my business.”
Zhang Guoqing thought for a moment and said: "I understand, I will report it."
Zhang Guoqing is not stupid, he knows what Yang Ye is thinking.
Hong Kong movies are so profitable now, even more profitable than selling flour, which makes many societies very jealous and want to get a piece of the entertainment industry.
It happens from time to time that well-known Hong Kong stars are threatened by associations to make movies, and some people even have ideas about Yang Ye.
But those people were trying to kill themselves, and Yang Ye didn't pay any attention to them, so his bodyguards secretly took care of them.
With the Kowloon Walled City behind him, Yang Ye has not been able to get any good juice for the time being from the clubs that are targeting the stars under him!
When the handover matters are settled and the British Hong Kong government begins to herd sheep, this kind of thing will only become more rampant in the future.
At that time, if the walled city was gone, Yang Ye would have lost a minion.
That’s why Yang Ye hopes to retain the Kowloon Walled City.
This matter is not difficult. The Kowloon Walled City is Chinese territory. If China does not agree, the Walled City cannot be demolished.
Whenever China wants to dismantle it, it will only happen in minutes.
As long as Zhang Guoqing reports Yang Ye's suggestion, 80% of the time he will agree to it.
Because, since Yang Ye has mobilized the power of Chengzhai, it would be good to leave this team to suppress the Hong Kong associations...
......
After Yang Ye told Zhang Guoqing about the city wall, he went to Ziqi Company to watch the later part of "Female Boxer".
In some difficult moves in "Female Boxer", such as fighting back and forth on the outer wall of a building during the final battle, Li Saifeng's body was always tied with a safety rope.
Otherwise, once a mistake occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. Of course, the safety rope must be disposed of later.
Yang Ye carefully looked at some of the processed shots and made sure there were no problems, so he sent the film to be developed into a negative, and then added to the original film to make a complete copy.
"Female Boxer" will be released in a month. The time is still quite urgent, because it is not only the film that needs to be edited and produced, but also the tapes for recording the sound.
The editing method is the same as film, cut it with scissors, and then connect it with transparent glue.
After finishing this matter, Yang Ye set off to the Peninsula Hotel to have lunch with Yang Liping.
Yang Liping still needs to entertain her on her evening flight back to the capital.
I didn’t want to but received a call from Paula Wagner: “Hi Nick, when are you free? Tom and I would like to treat you to a meal!”
Yang Ye didn’t know either. When I was free, I thought they would also stay at the Peninsula Hotel, so I said, "Let's meet in the Finland Room of the Peninsula Hotel in half an hour!"
......
Yang Ye drove to the Peninsula Hotel, met Yang Liping first, and said apologetically: "I originally wanted to treat you to a meal alone, but someone happened to invite me to discuss something here, so we had to come together. Don't mind!"
Yang Liping said nonchalantly: "What does it matter? Your business is more important!"
The two of them came to the restaurant together. Paula and Tom had already chosen their seats and were waiting there.
The four of them greeted each other politely, then sat down and ordered.
Yang Liping couldn't understand the English menu, so Yang Ye ordered a vegetable salad for her and that was done. She doesn’t eat meat anyway.
“I’ll talk to them first!”
"Well!"
"What do you two want from me?"
Tom and Paula looked at each other, then stood up, toasted Yang Ye with a glass of wine, and then said: "Nick , I want to become your teacher and learn Kung Fu from you!”
Yang Ye smiled secretly in his heart, but had no expression on his face, and asked: “Why do you want to learn Kung Fu from me?”
Tom said: "When I was making a movie with Jack, I thought his kung fu was very cool, but he told me that you are the real kung fu dictionary. I thought, I must learn kung fu from you!"
Yang Ye nodded and said: "So, you also want to be an action actor?"
"That's right! You and Jack, your action movies are so cool. I think that's what men are. It should be a movie!"
"What if I refuse?"
Tom was stunned, and Paula said seriously: "Nick, you can't, you are very optimistic about Tom, aren't you? "
Yang Ye said: "Why are you so sure?"
Paula said; "Because Tom was the person you chose to partner with Jack, and the movies they collaborated on were indeed successful. I think you must have seen some qualities in Tom!"
Yang Ye said: "Actually, I chose Tom because he is a rare small actor in Hollywood, and it is easier to partner with Jack."
This statement stunned both Paula and Tom. The reason was as simple as height. ?
