Yamaguchi Momoe's family.
Nakamori Akina stood under a leafy green plum tree and shouted:
"Onii-chan, that one, that one, there is a big one over there! "
Yang Ye was picking green plums from the tree. Yamaguchi Momoe was holding Xiao Niba and standing next to Nakamori Akina, watching with a smile.
Yang Ye picked half a basket of green plums and climbed down from the tree along the ladder.
Nakamori Akina picked a big one from the basket, wiped it on her clothes, couldn't wait to take a bite, and then felt sour and happy!
Looking at her expression, Yamaguchi Momoe couldn't help but feel a little funny: "You can't eat this directly, it's so sour!"
Nakamori Akina felt that her teeth were about to be sore. , said with a bitter face: "I want to taste the taste of Chinese green plums!"
Yang Ye almost laughed out loud and asked: "What does it taste like?"
“It’s sourer than Japan’s!”
"Hahaha!"
Momoe Yamaguchi shook her head helplessly: "Let's go, let's make plum wine!"
After the green plums were washed, the three of them sat in the yard, Momoe Yamaguchi Hui is responsible for picking out the green plums with wormholes and rotten ones.
Yang Ye and Nakamori Akina each held a bamboo stick and carefully removed the knot at the bottom of the green plum.
If it is not removed, the brewed plum wine will have a peculiar smell!
A few people were working and chatting. Yamaguchi Momoe asked: "Husband, do you know how old this plum tree is?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "When I bought this house, It's right here. This house seems to have been built in the 1960s, so this tree is at least 20 years old." "Oni-chan, look!" Nakamori Akina held up a plum. , waved in front of Yang Ye.
It turned out that she used a bamboo stick to poke a smiling face on the plum.
Yang Ye said sternly: "What's this, look at me!"
He held up the plum in his hand and gave Nakamori Akina a look.
When Nakamori Akina took one look at it, she immediately exclaimed: "Wow, it's the teacher!"
Yang Ye looked at Yamaguchi Momoe again, and Yamaguchi Momoe took one look and suddenly became happy. .
Although it is just a simple pattern poked out with a bamboo stick, the little man on the plum actually has a bit of the charm of Yamaguchi Momoe.
Nakamori Akina was filled with admiration and praised: "Onii-chan, you are so powerful!"
Yang Ye said sternly: "What's the matter? It's very simple. I can poke whoever I want!"
Nakamori Akina quickly said: "Can you poke me then?"
" Of course!”
Nakamori Akina put on a smile and said, “Poke me quickly, poke me quickly!”
Yang Ye picked a big plum and held it in his hand. He poked Nakamori Akina, then put away his bamboo stick and said, "Look!"
Nakamori Akina held the plum in her hand and looked at it for a while. Sure enough, it was somewhat similar to her own. She couldn't help but admired: "It's a good poke, I like it so much!"
Yang Ye felt excited and picked it up. With the bamboo stick, I poked Momoe Yamaguchi for a while, Akina Nakamori for a while, and it was a joy to poke!
……
After Yamaguchi Momoe washed and dried the plums, she put them into a glass container, put a layer of plums, and sprinkled a layer of sugar.
Nakamori Akina couldn't help but said: "Wouldn't this be too sweet?"
Yamaguchi Momoe smiled and said: "Aki-chan likes sour plum wine?"
"Yes!"
"The next bottle of wine does not contain sugar."
Yamaguchi Momoe said, pouring soju into the bottle, then closing the lid, affixing a sticker, and writing the date of production. The bottle of plum wine is now complete.
Next, it’s time.
"How long will it take to drink this?"
"About three months, I will send you some then!"
"No, the teacher will give it to me when I open the bottle. Call me, I’ll fly to Hong Kong to drink.”
“Okay!”
Yang Ye hugged Xiao Niba and sighed, it’s great to have money, just for this one sip. Wine, come here on a plane to drink!
...
Due to the lack of schedules between Yang Ye and Leslie Cheung, "A Better Tomorrow" was delayed until August.
Original Time and Space’s “A Better Tomorrow” has a very strange lineup.
Johnny Woo, a street-fighting director; Ti Lung, a has-been star; Chow Yun-fat, a box-office poison; Leslie Cheung, a homosexual.
This lineup will be ruined no matter how you look at it.
Several bosses at Xinyi City demanded that Zhou Runfa must not be used.
Later, considering that the investment in the movie was not very large, John Woo also gave up his director's salary in order to shoot this movie.
Zhou Runfa is cheap. Anyway, it is just a cameo. There are only a few scenes, so Zhou Runfa was reluctantly cast.
Later during filming, Leslie Cheung’s schedule was not enough, and Zhou Runfa’s part became stronger and stronger.
So John Woo tried his best to add more scenes to Chow Run-fat and less scenes to Leslie Cheung.
In the end, Leslie Cheung changed from the protagonist to the supporting role, and Zhou Runfa changed from the supporting role to the protagonist.
After the film was made and screened internally, Maijia said, don’t let it be released. This film is a done deal, and you have to pay for the publicity money to release it.
Finally, at Xu Ke’s request, we had a preview screening at midnight.
During the midnight screening, John Woo and Chow Yun-fat felt very anxious. If they rush to the street again this time, they will have no future.
They sneaked into the midnight show to see the audience's reaction.
As a result, when the audience saw Zhou Runfa, the whole place was in an uproar, surrounding them and shouting "Brother Ma!"
It’s done!
A big hit, popular all over Asia!
......
The content of today's "A Better Tomorrow" is destined to be very different from the original one.
Because Baiyang Pictures was banned in Taiwan, Chow Run-fa used Yang Ye as his love rival, Pony Ma was just a supporting role, and John Woo was just a street director...
Multiple factors led to Chow Run-fa's refusal to play the role of Pony Ma.
In the end, at Xu Ke’s suggestion, the role fell to Yang Ye.
If it were anyone else, John Woo would definitely be unhappy, but Yang Ye is what he dreams of and dare not even think about. After all, he is just a street director, so he is not qualified to hire Asia's number one superstar.
You know, when Yang Ye was filming "Terminator", he inspired John Woo, and the pony in John Woo's mind was Yang Ye.
……
Everything in the world depends on preconceptions.
When the windbreaker and sunglasses appear on Fa Ge, no one else will be able to do it later.
But the problem is that the windbreakers and sunglasses in this world first appeared on Yang Ye.
He had already played it years ago!
......
"A Better Tomorrow" launch conference!
Yang Ye led Xu Ke, John Woo, Leslie Cheung, Ti Lung, Wang Zuxian and other main creators to meet with media reporters.
Although Yang Ye is just a guest appearance, everyone still takes him as the leader.
The reporters all stared at Yang Ye and asked questions, directly ignoring the real director John Woo.
This is Pai Noodles!
Actually, it’s quite normal. The current John Woo is not qualified to hold a launch conference at all. If he does, he will be ignored. Only a genius will come to interview him!
At the press conference, a reporter even asked directly: "Young Master, your movies have always been directed and acted by yourself. Why did you use director John Woo this time?"
Yang Ye said: "Remake " "A Better Tomorrow" was originally Lao Xu and Lao Wu's idea. I think it's great that they will be the producers and directors. They are both very talented directors and I have great confidence in them!"
"But Director Wu's previous movies were not very good at the box office!"
The reporter was quite tactful and did not directly say that John Woo was a box office poison.
"Then let's start changing from this movie. Okay, we have to start worshiping God!"
As Yang Ye said, he took the lead in offering incense to the second master, although John Woo is the director. , but Yang Ye is the boss and the producer, and he is the biggest among the crew.
Afterwards, everyone cut the pig's head together and unveiled the red cloth. "A Better Tomorrow" was finally officially launched!
...
Counterfeit banknote factory!
The visual effects of making counterfeit banknotes are created by Ziqi Company to ensure perfection.
Yang Ye has donated a lot of money to Hong Kong University in the past few years, and the computer talents he trained have been recruited to Ziqi Company to study computer visual effects.
Because we have the right direction, we have made rapid progress and have maintained world-class standards.
However, the small HKU still has too few talents. The next step is to go to the mainland to cultivate talents.
Stacks of U.S. dollars were printed, and the camera was focused on Dillon, who was counting the money!
Yang Ye suddenly said: "Give me a close-up!"
Yang Ye was older than the director, and the photographer quickly gave him a close-up without waiting for John Woo's instructions.
Yang Ye wore sunglasses, held a cigarette in his mouth, and lit a U.S. dollar bill.
Then he lit the cigarette in his mouth with a burning dollar bill, shook the dollar bill out, and puffed out a puff of thick smoke.
Wu Yusen was originally a little dissatisfied with Yang Ye's self-assertion.
Although he did not dare to go against Yang Ye's wishes, he was the director after all. Yang Ye had said before that he should let him go, but now...
But after watching Yang Ye He was immediately convinced by the gesture of lighting a cigarette with US dollars. It was so cool!
Wu Yusen praised: "Master Yang, this lens is well designed!"
Yang Ye smiled calmly: "It's not bad. By the way, I'm going to Japan to promote "Kill Bill". Let's go with the crew to save us from traveling twice."
Wu Yusen nodded, he was Have this intention.
Yang Ye said: "Then we'll set off in three days!"
In the original work of "A Better Tomorrow", Song Zihao got into trouble in Taiwan, and Ponyboy's most exciting battle also happened in Taiwan Maple Grove Restaurant.
However, Yang Ye has been banned by Taiwan, and he cannot go to Taiwan at all, so this plot has to be changed.
In Asia, only Japan and Singapore are more suitable. Considering that Japanese gangs are relatively well-known, it was changed to Tokyo.
……
The scene of Brother Ma reading a newspaper in Ximending, Taipei was changed to Shinjuku.
After that, Xiao Ma asked someone to investigate the cause of Brother Hao's accident. The boss who made a cameo appearance was Wang Jie's father, Wang Xia.
Since the background was changed to Japan, Yang Ye found Chiba Shinichi to pretend to be a wave.
After filming "Fist of Heroes", Chiba Shinichi admired Yang Ye's kung fu, and later became friends with Yang Ye.
Yang Ye asked him to make a guest appearance, it was just a piece of cake!
Despite this, John Woo admires him greatly. Chiba Shinichi is still well-known in Japan and is also very famous in Hong Kong.
As a result, Yang Ye called him over with just one phone call.
On the second day, when filming the most classic battle of revenge of Ponyboy, John Woo was even more dumbfounded.
In the original version, Zhou Runfa is hugging a very ugly woman.
Now, what Yang Ye is hugging...is actually Japanese super idol Matsuda Seiko.
This horse-riding... You can find a super idol to play a role that can be played by just a supporting role?
Seeing that John Woo's expression was very strange, Yang Ye asked: "What's wrong?"
"Isn't this... too famous?"
"Oh, Shengzi sang the theme song of "Kill Bill". This time I came to Japan to promote the movie, so I asked her to come and make a cameo. If you feel it is not suitable, can you change someone else?"
"No. , No, it’s fine! “You’re just a fool to change people!
Wu Yusen finally saw how popular Yang Ye is in Japan.
On the day of the promotional event, a large number of Japanese celebrities came to support the event, and tens of thousands of fans gathered outside the square.
Awesome!
...
The box office of "Kill Bill" in Hong Kong was only so-so, but the box office in North America was very good.
This is the first time that North American audiences have seen white people and black people performing such cool kung fu in a movie. It is full of novelty and has driven the movie box office up.
Matsuda Seiko became a little famous in North America because of his identity as the singer of the theme song of "Kill Bill" because he got into Yang Ye's car.
This time Yang Ye came to Japan to promote, she also came from the United States.
On the one hand, I want to take this opportunity to promote myself.
On the other hand, we have to keep up with Akina Nakamori, after all, she has always regarded Akina as her opponent!
However, she was surprised to find that although Yang Ye had a close relationship with Nakamori Akina, there seemed to be no physical relationship.
This is so weird!
Judging from Yang Ye’s crazy performance with Madonna that day, this shouldn’t be the case! (End of chapter)
