The success of the negotiation made Yang Ye feel relieved.
His movies will finally be released in the mainland, and his first choices are "Shaolin Temple" and "Fist of Heroes".
This is because Zhao Yazhi became famous in the mainland last year with "Little Nyonya" and Yamaguchi Momoe with "Blood Doubt".
When the film was screened in the mainland, Yang Ye wanted to ride on their popularity.
However, Yang Ye soon let everyone know what it means to be an international superstar.
Xinwen Lianbo directly introduced Yang Ye in five minutes.
"The movie "Shaolin Temple" by Hong Kong patriotic compatriot, world-famous director, performing artist, musician, and martial arts master Yang Ye will be released nationwide on May 12th.
"Shaolin Temple" tells the story It is a touching story of the working people's resistance to oppression during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
After the film was released, it was warmly welcomed by people all over the world and sold in more than 150 countries around the world...
The following is a long story. The introduction stunned people all over the country who were watching the news in front of the TV
Sweeping Japan, defeating the American boxing champion, winning Oscars, Cannes, and Venice...
When the movie was released in Japan and the United States, the audience lined up to watch it...
After watching it The Chinese people introduced in this paragraph could not help but feel a strong sense of national pride in their hearts.
So we Chinese are so powerful?
In fact, pirated videotapes of Yang Ye's movies have become very popular in coastal areas, and many people in the mainland have also watched his movies.
For example, when they participated in the Spring Festival Gala last time, the actors of the Hubei Song and Dance Troupe were no strangers to Yang Ye.
However, these days, there are still very few people who can afford a video recorder at home.
Everyone who knows Yang Ye has some status. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with Yang Ye.
This is different from Teresa Teng. You can hear Teresa Teng’s songs if you have a radio, and you can’t even ban them.
After all, the threshold for movies is still higher.
As for Yang Ye singing too? He has sung too few songs himself, and his fame is much lower than that of Teresa Teng.
The reaction of most people in the mainland to his songs is... I have heard this song but don't know this person.
Now, the news network suddenly comes to do this, and the popularity is instantly increased, and the popularity is instantly surpassed!
And this is not over yet. The next day, "Second-rate Tabloid" devoted a whole page to introducing Yang Ye's life and his movies in detail.
In the report, Yang Ye grew up in a slum and was an orphan.
Relying on his tenacious perseverance and amazing talent, he practiced Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and practiced Chinese martial arts to the point of perfection.
Yang Ye crossed Fuso and challenged the Japanese martial arts community. He went through dozens of large and small battles without losing a single victory, and won the collective surrender of the Japanese martial arts community.
Later, Yang Ye arrived in the United States on the other side of the ocean, defeated several American boxing champions in a row, and placed a reward of five million US dollars in the ring.
Within ten years, as long as someone can defeat him, he will receive a bonus of five million US dollars.
Now, the ten-year period has come, and all the challengers have failed.
Yang Ye brought his own martial arts into the movie, and the two combined to create a kung fu movie that shocked the world.
"Shaolin Temple" is his film debut. The film was sold in more than 100 countries around the world and caused a sensation around the world. The global box office exceeded 100 million US dollars.
It also won the Grand Prix of the Supreme Technical Committee of the Cannes International Film Festival in France, the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in the United States, and other awards.
"Shaolin Temple" tells the story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties...
This is a long article, and it also introduces Yang Ye's other movies and makes a preview.
In the next year, Yang Ye's films will continue to meet audiences across the country.
……
Shanghai!
A chubby little man with a round face was carrying a schoolbag and riding a broken bicycle, speeding through the alley.
When I got home, the aroma of the food was already wafting out.
"I'm back!"
"Xu Zheng, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
Xu Zheng came back after washing his hands, and his mother had already served him a meal.
“There is pickled pork today!”
The little fat man salivated three times. He showed off a lump of bacon first and said while eating: “Mom, can you give me an extra fifty cents tomorrow? .”
"What do you want fifty cents for?"
""Shaolin Temple" is released, I want to see it!"
""Shaolin Temple"? Wasn't it shown in the theater last year?"
"It's officially released now, and it's been on the news broadcast, don't you know."
Father Xu suddenly said: "I can't buy tickets even if I give you money, it's been on the news, there must be a lot of people Go and see. Just wait, I’ll find a way to get tickets.”
"Thank you, Dad!"
......
Shanghai, Peace Cinema, tens of thousands of people came to buy tickets, and the ticket queue stretched to the street corner two kilometers away.
So much so that the police had to be dispatched to maintain order. The media in Shanghai also caught wind of the incident and came to interview the citizens queuing up.
“People were queuing up at three or four in the morning, but I still got up a little late.” An old man said regretfully.
"Why did you come to buy a ticket to watch "Shaolin Temple"?"
"Didn't the news say that this Yang Ye defeated the Japanese and American devils? He is a national hero!"
There are not a few people who queued up to ask for leave, but they quickly failed: "I took half a day off to queue up in vain, but all of them were sold out in less than half an hour."
However, queuing for leave has a bad impact. This section will not be broadcast.
The reporter also interviewed students who rode bicycles to buy tickets.
"I have watched "Shaolin Temple" once, and now I hope to buy a ticket to watch it a second time."
"I have already watched it once, why do I need to watch it again?" "Because it is so exciting. I plan to watch it ten times!”
……
The auditorium-style cinema with more than 2,000 people was packed with people, and even the aisles were full of people. It's not like selling standing tickets.
People were mesmerized by the flashes of swords and swords in the movie, and were worried about the fate of young monk Jueyuan.
At the 18th minute, the shepherdess played by Zhao Yazhi appeared on the stage, and there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.
“It’s Zhao Yazhi!”
“It turns out she has also photographed Shaolin Temple!”
With the national hit “Little Nyonya” and the Spring Festival Gala song “Dream "Lishui Township", Zhao Yazhi's fame has reached the level of a household name throughout the country.
Her face of a good wife and loving mother makes people feel friendly at first sight. In less than a year, she has gained countless fans and has become the dream lover of countless young people.
The dream of many people is to find a wife like this.
“The sun rises over the Songshan Col, and the morning bell frightens the birds. The creeks in the forest are gurgling, and the grass is green on the slopes...”
The song "Shepherd's Song" mesmerized the hearts and spleens of the audience. .
“Oh, this song is so nice. I didn’t expect Zhao Yazhi to sing so well!”
"Of course, haven't you listened to the Spring Festival Gala song "Dream of Water Village"? It sounds so good!"
"No, this is Teresa Teng's voice, can't you recognize it?"
>"How is it possible?"
"How is it impossible? The acting is performed by Zhao Yazhi, and the singing is performed by Teresa Teng. This is normal!"
"Yes! I heard it too, It’s so beautifully sung!”
Not long after, the shepherdess was arrested.
The villain Wang Renze hung the shepherdess up with a rope in a big letter shape. He drank some wine and shouted: "Game!"
Tear off a piece of the girl's pants. , revealing a little bit of thigh, the audience was immediately deeply touched, and many people actually became excited.
You know, it was not until "Love in Lushan" four years ago that there was the first kiss in a New China movie, and it caused an uproar at that time.
In "Shaolin Temple", the thigh is openly used to seduce, and it's Zhao Yazhi's thigh. It's weird to not be excited when riding a horse.
Later, Jue Yuan came to rescue the shepherdess, and the two sides fought.
Although this fight scene was very exciting, little fat Xu Zheng couldn't forget the thigh just now, and he was still muttering: "Game!"
Excellent movies are always short, nine Ten minutes flew by and the movie was over.
People were still reluctant to leave the cinema.
While walking, we discussed the plot of the movie.
Xu Zheng asked his father: "Dad, would you like to come and see us next week?"
His father was not satisfied with watching, so he frowned and said, "It's just that the tickets are hard to get. I'll find a way. You study hard!"
“Got it!”
……
The 1980s was the peak period of global movie viewing.
Mainland China is no exception. The average number of moviegoers per person per year reaches a maximum of 28 times, and each person goes to the movies twice a month.
The annual box office total exceeds 3 billion!
For comparison, in 2018, the peak year of movie viewing after the millennium, the total box office reached 60 billion, and the average number of movie viewers per year was... 1 time.
The reason: On the one hand, there are relatively few entertainment methods in this era, and watching movies is a very good way of entertainment.
On the one hand, there are many talents emerging these days and countless classics have been created. It is the golden age of mankind!
"Shaolin Temple" has been released in mainland China for half a month, and the number of moviegoers has reached 50 million. The average ticket price is now 30 cents, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 15 million yuan, equivalent to more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
When the news came back, the whole Hong Kong was shocked!
The left-wing "Wen Wei Po", as well as the surrendered "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" have reported this matter at large lengths.
Especially in Oriental Daily, the Ma brothers are so excited about licking the mainland.
News from this newspaper: "Shaolin Temple", the debut film directed by and starring world superstar Yang Ye, landed in the mainland half a month ago, setting off a movie-watching frenzy.
Half a month after its release, the box office has exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
According to predictions, the final box office may exceed HK$300 million!
It is reported that Baiyang Pictures and Yindu Agency have reached an import agreement with the mainland to introduce 20 Hong Kong films to the mainland every year.
Ye Ye’s films will be released in mainland China in the next two years and are expected to generate a box office of approximately HK$5 billion.
This will exceed the total box office of Hong Kong local movies from 1974 to 1984!
Moreover, Yang Ye and Mainland China have signed a box office splitting agreement.
The box office received will be distributed according to the ratio of 35:17:48 between production, distribution and theaters.
That is: Yang Ye will profit from it about 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.
This is only Yang Ye’s own movie, and there is no estimate for Baiyang Pictures’ other movies.
Now it seems that Taiwan’s ban has not only failed to sink Yang Ye, but will instead send him to the throne of the richest man in Hong Kong!
Yang Ye... made the most correct choice!
……
Zou Wenhuai looked at the newspaper and felt his hands shaking.
"1.7 billion... If all other films of Baiyang Pictures were released in the mainland, the profit would probably exceed 3 billion, right? Even if the business tax is deducted, there is still a big difference."
He Guanchang sighed: "I really didn't expect that the mainland market would be opened as soon as it was said to be open. But... all he earns is in RMB. Is it difficult to exchange it out?"
Zou Wenhuai said: "Although the mainland is poor now, it is undergoing reform and opening up and is developing rapidly. Why does Yang Ye want to cash out the money?
As far as I know, Yang Ye owns a lot of assets in Japan and has no See it cash out the money and take it back to Hong Kong!" (End of Chapter)
