Just when Paula and Tom were confused, Yang Ye changed his tone and said: "But if you want to be an action star, being small is an advantage, because small people are more dexterous and look better when fighting.
< br>Moreover, after working together on the two "Shanghai Noon" movies, Shay, Isabel, and Jack all praised Tom. So, if you want to learn Kung Fu from me, I agree!"
Tom Cruise! Si was overjoyed. He imitated the Chinese salute of cupping his hands, clasped his hands and said in Chinese: "Master!"
Yang Ye smiled calmly and said to Tom Cruise: "I spend most of my time in Asia, so if you want to learn Kung Fu, you need to set aside a period of time every year to practice Kung Fu in Hong Kong!"
Paula said: "I will help Tom plan the time!"
Yang Ye said again: "I have a disciple named Binny. He will spend three months every year to go back to Hong Kong for training. Other big students You stay in the United States part of the time. You can usually go to him and ask him to teach you fighting skills, but you have to pay!"
Tom Cruise said excitedly: "Benny, I know him, he is He is the lightweight fighting king of MMA!”
Yang Ye smiled: “As long as you are willing to pay, I think he will be happy to teach you!”
The four of them ate happily! After lunch, Tom and Paula took their leave.
Yang Liping asked strangely: "He just called you master?"
Yang Ye explained: "Tom is an American actor, and Paula is his agent. Tom wants to learn Kung Fu from me, and I agreed. !"
Yang Liping said in surprise: "Americans also worship you as a teacher?"
"It's not surprising, I have a Japanese disciple."
Yang Liping admires you. He couldn't help but praised: "That's it, you are really awesome!"
Yang Ye said calmly: "My dream is to spread Chinese Kung Fu to all parts of the world. So far, I am doing pretty well."
Yang Liping sighed: "This feeling of being able to realize my ideal is really good. !"
"You can do it too!"
"Yes!" Yang Liping nodded vigorously, her expression very firm.
After a pause, he added: "By the way, thanks to you, the troupe agreed to let me come to Hong Kong to hold a dance party. Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome. Now the mainland and Hong Kong need exchanges, and it would be great to send talented artists like you."
Yang Liping smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe you are the only one who can say that!"< br>
Yang Ye was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Yang Liping said with some difficulty: "Actually, I am a marginal figure in the song and dance troupe, and I am not taken seriously!"
>"Why? You dance so well!"
"The domestic dance training system is the only one in the Soviet Union. I have no ballet skills and I can't even do the splits. They say I'm a wild kid and unprofessional. I... actually don't even have a chance to go on stage."
Yang Ye's eyes were as big as eggs: "No way? Are those people blind?"
In fact, Yang Liping didn't even get a chance to go on stage. She was in the song and dance troupe and wasn't even assigned a dormitory. Normally They all slept in the cabaret's warehouse.
Yang Liping said: "Actually, I have always had a question. Last year, I suddenly received an order to return to Xishuangbanna to cooperate with you in making a movie. How did you know about me?"
"Well, that's it. ..." Yang Ye lied casually and said: "I need a local girl who can dance Dai dance, and you are very famous in Xishuangbanna. I found out after a little inquiry."
"That's it, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have to wait for the opportunity to perform."
Yang Liping did not doubt Yang Ye's reasons, because she is indeed very famous in Xishuangbanna .
She said sadly: "Actually, I stayed in the Xishuangbanna Song and Dance Troupe for ten years before I debuted on stage..."
Yang Liping's life is very difficult, Yang Ye may be the best in the world A person who valued her talent so much, so she couldn't help but tell Yang Ye about her life experience.
When Yang Liping was a child, her father was shocked and ran away overnight, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, leaving her mother alone to raise four children and live a difficult life.
At that time, the leaders of the Xishuangbanna Song and Dance Troupe visited their school and saw Yang Liping doing morning exercises. They thought she had some talent and wanted to take her away.
My mother disagreed because Yang Liping had to stay and take care of her younger siblings. Only in this way could her mother go to work and earn work points, otherwise the family would starve to death.
Yang Liping took advantage of her mother not paying attention and ran away secretly, and then she got her wish to join the song and dance troupe!
After hearing about Yang Liping's life experience, Yang Ye had to lament that it was so miserable. He poured her a cup of tea and asked: "What happened next?"
"What happened next? , although I joined the song and dance troupe, I have my own understanding of dance and cannot dance in a uniform group dance. My family background is not good, and I am not qualified to dance solo, so I have never been able to get on stage!”
"Then what do you do in the song and dance troupe?"
"I found an open space and started planting vegetables. I often danced alone beside the vegetable field. When the vegetables grew, I would take them back and give them to others. My mother improved her life. When the troupe went on tour, I followed her to do odd jobs and take care of the props. "
"Don't you think it's hard?"
Yang Liping shook her head: "In those ten years, I Following the song and dance troupe, I went deep into the villages of various ethnic groups in Yunnan and saw all kinds of original dances. I gained a lot of knowledge and was very happy."
Yang Ye thought to herself, no wonder she was able to create a world like "Impression of Yunnan" later. level works, those ten years were spent laying the foundation for her.
"Then how did you become famous later?"
"At that time, the troupe was rehearsing "Peacock Princess", and I was the B role, that is, the substitute, just in case. One time, there was a relatively important performance , Corner A suddenly got a high fever, it’s my turn!”
“You became a blockbuster?”
“Yes!” Yang Liping’s voice was crisp when she said these two words. Yes, a little proud.
Yang Ye sighed: "I have been sharpening a sword for ten years, but I have never tried the frost blade. I show you today, who has any injustice? Sure enough, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. What happened next?"
"In 1981, I was transferred to the Central Ethnic Song and Dance Ensemble. But I came from a small place and had no professional training. I couldn't even do the splits, so I didn't have the chance to go on stage.
Everything seemed to be back again. In those ten years, until one day, I suddenly received an order to return to Xishuangbanna to cooperate with you in filming a movie.
Not long ago, I was asked to prepare for a performance in Hong Kong. I can finally go on stage. Really. Thank you very much!"
Yang Liping said, stood up and bowed solemnly to Yang Ye!
In fact, even without Yang Ye's help, Yang Liping will come forward in two years.
It was 1986, the second national dance competition. Yang Liping created the dance "The Spirit of the Bird", but when the troupe selected the entries, her work was not considered at all.
The song and dance troupe did not support it, so Yang Liping participated in the competition in her own name and had to bear the 1,700 yuan costume fee, soundtrack, and video expenses herself.
Yang Liping's monthly salary was only dozens of yuan. She pawned all her valuables and raised funds from friends everywhere, and finally completed the work.
This is a desperate move. If it fails, she will not have to do it again!
But how could she fail?
Her performance of "The Spirit of the Bird" astounded everyone. She went straight to the finals and won the first prize for creation and performance.
The name "Peacock Princess" has been resounding all over the world since then, and everyone knows it!
Yang Ye waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, we are friends, and friends should help each other! Besides, you are a thousand-mile horse, so naturally you cannot just be humiliated and die at the hands of a slave. Between the stables. Your dance art should be seen by the world!” A drop of crystal tears slowly flowed out of his eyes.
"Can I ask you something?" she said. "Say!"
"I know you are a very good musician. I choreographed a dance, but there is no music. I don't know...can you please help me score it?"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "My charges are very expensive!"
Yang Liping was stunned, she couldn't afford to pay.
“Just kidding! We are friends, we don’t talk about money. Show me that dance and I’ll try it!”
"Okay!"
"It's not very convenient here, I'll take you somewhere!"
"Yeah!"
"Let me make a call first!"< br>
There is already a big brother these days, but Yang Ye never takes it with him. With that thing, he can't live in peace.
Yang Ye went to the front desk and made a call and said: "Yinyin, the afternoon trip is cancelled!"
Then he called Wu Dajiang and then greeted Yang Liping: "Bring your performance clothes. Let’s go!”
……
Hong Kong Philharmonic Chinese Orchestra.
Yang Ye introduced: "This is my friend, the famous musician Mr. Wu Dajiang. This Miss Yang Liping is a dancer from the Mainland. You should meet her at the premiere of "Boxing Fighter" the day before yesterday. Over her.”
"Hello, Miss Yang, that dance the day before yesterday really shocked me!"
"Mr. Wu, thank you!"
Everyone was polite, and Yang Ye said: " Let’s get started!”
A few people came to the concert hall. Yang Liping put on her performance clothes and danced a dance she created in front of Yang Ye and Wu Dajiang.
As soon as Yang Ye saw it, he knew that this was "The Spirit of the Bird". It was similar to the one in later generations, but the details were slightly different. It seemed that it was not perfect yet.
As soon as the dance was over, Yang Ye, Wu Dajiang, and the musicians in the concert hall remained silent.
After a long time, Wu Dajiang praised: "The dance is so beautiful. I feel that you have completely blended into the dancing peacock. The moment you dance, you are like an elf. . ”
“Thank you, you are so grateful!”
“No, no, my words are not enough to describe the beauty of your dance, Mr. Yang!”< br>
Yang Ye was stunned and said: "I, I can't describe it either."
Yang Ye actually has no culture, he only knows how to fuck!
Wu Dajiang said: "Aren't you a poet?"
Yang Ye thought, yes, I am still a wet person.
Yang Ye had no choice but to search, and felt that a certain netizen’s comment was more reliable, with a lot of words, and an unclear look, so he said: "This dance gives me the feeling of everything at dawn. Jing, when morning was about to come, suddenly burst out with fiery and intense emotions at that moment, in sharp contrast to the cold and quiet night. After the catharsis was over, he returned to his usual demeanor and artistic conception! "
“Pah!”
Wu Dajiang applauded: "This description is very beautiful, barely worthy of Miss Yang's dance. By the way, what is the name of this dance?"
Yang Liping's eyes flashed after hearing Yang Ye's description. A touch of color. Then he came back to his senses and said to Wu Dajiang: "It's called "The Spirit of the Bird"!"
"The Spirit of the Bird, it's a very good name. When I appreciate this dance, I can feel your interest in it." That kind of understanding of life."
Wu Dajiang praised Yang Liping and said to Yang Ye: "Young master, it's up to you!"
In fact, Wu Dajiang saw this. After "Sparrow Spirit", the idea of composing music for it also came up.
However, with Yang Ye here, he would not argue.
"Sparrow Spirit" originally adopted the Nordic music "Pastorale". The melody is beautiful and tender, with sad memories and full of beautiful hope.
But this is a folk dance after all. Later, when Yang Liping choreographed and directed "Impression of Yunnan", she invited musician Sanbao to complete the composition again.
Yang Ye naturally pretended to think, and then his thoughts surged, and he was bursting with inspiration. It took him less than half an hour to complete the composition.
Let the violinist try to play it first. After listening to it, Wu Dajiang exclaimed: "Good! Good! It is ethereal and distant, quiet and fresh, like poetry and fantasy, with the prosperity and vigorous growth of all things." The vitality and Miss Yang’s dance complement each other perfectly!”
Yang Ye asked Yang Liping: "Are you satisfied with this piece of music?"
Yang Liping thought it sounded great and nodded repeatedly.
At the same time, I was amazed by Yang Ye's unique talent. It only took half an hour to create such beautiful music, and it complemented her dance very well.
At this moment, Yang Liping felt that there seemed to be a soul resonance between her and Yang Ye.
Yang Ye understands her and her dance. Otherwise, how could he write such a song?
"Since Liping is satisfied, Uncle Jiang, let's arrange the instruments!"
Wu Dajiang nodded and began to think about how to match the instruments. He was an expert in this area and quickly put forward his own opinions.
How to orchestrate "Sparrow Spirit", Yang Yemen was clear, but he still pretended to discuss it with Wu Dajiang.
Then the musicians also joined in. While everyone was discussing and trying, they even forgot to eat.
While pretending, Yang Ye complained secretly: "It's tiring to pretend to be so realistic!"
Yang Liping's flight had been missed, but she didn't remember going back to the capital. She sat aside and quietly watched the group of people busy, feeling very warm and peaceful in her heart!
Sometimes, Yang Ye and Wu Dajiang would stop and ask her for her opinion.
Although Yang Liping did not know how to orchestrate, she had a unique understanding of her own dance. Her words were very helpful to Wu Dajiang.
I was busy until nine o'clock in the evening, using many ethnic musical instruments, and finally came up with a preliminary plan.
In addition to musical instruments, the sounds of birds and running water are also added to it, giving people the feeling of being in a primeval forest.
Finally, everyone played together and Yang Liping also danced "The Spirit of the Bird" again. The dance and music blended together, and it was so beautiful that it was intoxicating!
But after the performance, Yang Ye frowned and said: "There is one thing missing!"
Wu Dajiang said: "What?"
"Human voice!"
Yang Ye said and ran to call Qi Yu.
"Xiao Yu, can you come to Hong Kong?...Yes, take the earliest flight, I'll wait for you!" (End of Chapter)
