Yang Ye is very busy recently. Deng Lijun is about to give birth, so he has to take time to accompany her every day.
There are more chores in the company. After all, it is a new year and many things need to be arranged.
The Spring Festival is less than a month away, and "Rabo 2" was released in Hong Kong between Christmas and Spring Festival.
The box office hit 28 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, which is 3 million more than the original time and space, because the heroine is Hong Kong actor Chung Chu-hong, so there is a bonus.
In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, it can be said that a Hollywood film can sell this box office on Hong Kong Island, which is quite impressive.
People are becoming more and more aware of Yang Ye's energy, which can actually send Hong Kong actors to the United States to work in A-level productions in Hollywood and serve as heroines in popular movies.
However, the Hong Kong box office is only a small thing. The global box office of "First Blood 2" grossed US$300 million.
Zhong Chuhong’s reputation has spread all over the world, her net worth has skyrocketed, and she has become a top actress in Hong Kong.
Now, those who left Baiyang Company because it was banned by Taiwan know how wrong they were.
Those who stayed behind began to become gods one after another in less than a year.
Liu Hua became popular in Asia and became a super idol with the movie "If There is Love".
Zhang Xueyou sold 20 million copies all over Asia with "Kiss Goodbye", which is jaw-dropping.
Although half of it is contributed by the mainland, RMB is not money?
Zhang Xueyou took the opportunity to run to the mainland and held 30 concerts in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, attracting huge crowds of spectators and empty streets.
Now, the top singers in Hong Kong have all been suppressed by Jacky Cheung.
When it comes to sales, everyone here is a younger brother!
What are you doing in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Hong Kong with three platinums, four platinums and five platinums? People can pay tens of millions of dollars for it. This horse...
People can’t help but wonder whether Yang Ye still has it. How many things are at the bottom of the box that have not been taken out?
The god-making movement is not over yet, and many projects have not yet been released. How many more people will he bring to the altar in the next year?
……
Speaking of music, Baiyang Records has lost two superstars, Xu Guanjie and Alan Tam.
Subsequently they signed a new member, Priscilla Chan, and a band, Beyond.
Priscilla Chan released her first self-titled album "Priscilla" on Poplar Records.
In the album, "Lovesickness in the Storm", which was created by Yang Ye himself and sung by Zhang Xue's friend Priscilla Chan, has been sung in the streets and has become a must-have song for couples singing in Hong Kong KTV.
"Where Do We Meet in Life" composed by Luo Dayou and lyrics by Yang Ye is also a classic.
There is also a cover song "Dancing Street" which is also very popular.
"Priscilla" sold five-platinum sales in Hong Kong. Priscilla Chan, who debuted less than two years ago, has become a first-line female singer in Hong Kong Island.
Beyond was in a worse situation. The first album "Goodbye Ideal" released by Baiyang Records sold less than 1,000 copies and lost everything.
Baiyang Records has been established for seven years and has not signed many singers, but the records it released have been huge hits. This is the first time it has been sold out, and it failed miserably!
For a while, countless media gloated and laughed at Yang Ye for sometimes making mistakes.
The four Beyond boys were very embarrassed and felt that they had embarrassed Yang Ye. They sent a message through Luo Dayou and wanted to express their apology to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye looked confused: "What are you apologizing for?"
Luo Dayou joked: "I broke your undefeated golden body!"
Yang Ye Yi thought: "Yes, from now on, I will no longer be the invincible God of War."
Luo Dayou said: "What are you going to do with them?"
Yang Ye thought for a while: "How about firing them?"
Luo Dayou was stunned: "Are you serious?"
Yang Ye curled his lips: "It's just talk! In fact, it’s not difficult for me to make them famous. I just need to write some good songs for them.
But they are a creative band. I signed them because of their love for music and their love for music. potential.
Go back and tell them that one failure is nothing, I won’t take it seriously.
However, if they want to continue on the road of music, they still have to make business considerations.
Next time when we release an album, we must consider the audience’s acceptance. The company cannot let them continue to lose money!
They can make the music they like, but they must first find a way to survive. Otherwise, the business will fail halfway through. "
After hearing this, Luo Dayou was very pleased and said: "I will completely convey your words to them. By the way, when will our album be released? "
Yang Ye said: "Are you short of money? ”
Luo Dayou said: "I also want to experience what it feels like to sell millions of copies of an album!"
Yang Ye said helplessly: "Wait a minute, I'm not free for the moment!"

......
As soon as Luo Da left with his right front foot, Wang Zuxian came and sat in front of Yang Ye, holding a cup of coffee and saying nothing.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You're not here to drink coffee, are you?"
Wang Zuxian blushed and said: "No!"
"Then you have something to do with me?"
"Yes!"
"Just tell me if you have!"< br>
“I can’t say it!”
"This is not your character! If you don't tell me, I can leave. My time is very precious."
Yang Ye stood up and wanted to leave.
"Don't..."
Wang Zuxian quickly reached out to stop her. She was afraid that Yang Ye would really leave, so she blurted out: "Are you angry with me?"
Yang Ye was caught Her meaningless words made her confused: "For no reason, why should I be angry with you?"
"They said... you are jealous. You won't like me anymore."
"Who am I jealous of?"
"I am jealous of Mr. Rong because I called him Brother. They said... they are more affectionate than you!"
"Oh!" Yang Ye understood what was going on, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. The little girl looked quite nervous.
Yang Ye asked: "Who said that?"
"Yingying and the others!"
"Yingying, that girl is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. You have been bickering with her for ten years, right? Can you still be tricked by her?"
Yang Ye can't bear it. He touched Wang Zuxian's forehead to see if she had a fever and why her IQ had dropped so sharply.
"I hate it!" Wang Zuxian pushed Yang Ye's hand away and said coquettishly: "I'm worried about you! I'm afraid you'll ignore me!"
Damn, Taiwanese accent All came out.
So cute!
Yang Ye said seriously: "Then you are... in love with Mr. Rong?"
Wang Zuxian said quickly: "No, I just think he is very kind, just like my brother. "
Yang Ye asked again: "Then you... fell in love with me?"
"No!" Wang Zuxian denied.
"Then why are you worried about me being jealous?"
"I...anyway, will you ignore me in the future?" "Of course not, am I such a stingy person?"
"Will... still... hurt me like before?"
He said this hesitantly, and a red cloud flew up from his fair cheeks.
Yang Ye hugged her gently and said: "Fool, of course I will love you, always...will!"
Wang Zuxian sat on the chair, her head resting on Yang Ye's strong chest, It feels very warm and reliable.
Wang Zuxian really wants to stay like this forever. However, she soon felt that this was inappropriate.
Brother Ye...has a wife.
I...I can't do this.
Thinking of this, Wang Zuxian quickly stood up to invite him, and said in a panic: "I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he ran away, his long hair flying up, brushing Yang Ye's cheek, bringing It has a girlish fragrance.
“Wait!”
Wang Zuxian was about to open the door, but was stopped by Yang Ye.
“Huh?”
Wang Zuxian turned around and leaned against the door, her hand still stretched behind her back, holding the door handle.
Yang Ye slowly walked towards Wang Zuxian. Wang Zuxian suddenly thought, he, he, he... didn't want to kiss me, right?
As Yang Ye's fan girl, Wang Zuxian often exchanged topics about Yang Ye with her little sisters and had various fantasies. It is not surprising to have this mentality.
She wanted to open the door and escape immediately, but she seemed to be immobilized and couldn't move.
Yang Ye walked to Wang Zuxian and stopped. Wang Zuxian lowered his head in shyness.
But he heard Yang Ye say: "I'm going to the United States in a while, will you go with me?"
Yang Ye didn't take the opportunity to kiss her. For a moment, Wang Zuxian didn't know whether he should be happy. Still should be disappointed.
“What are you going to do in the United States?”
“There is something very interesting that you will definitely like. I will take you to see it.”
“Oh!”
"That's it, I'll let you know when the time comes!"
"Oh! I'm leaving then!"
"Yeah!"
Wang Zuxian opened the door and walked out , and closed again.
She stood leaning against the door for a while, then sighed and walked out slowly.
Her expression seemed to be one of regret.
In the office, Yang Ye also stood against the door for a while and sighed.
His expression was one of regret.
"She was standing here just now, motionless, asking for everything. Why didn't I take the opportunity to eat her?"
Yang Ye slapped himself and couldn't help but complain. Said: "It's really stupider than a monkey!"
The monkey smashed the fairy and she was in a hurry to eat the peach!
I decided to keep this little fairy here, so she can also eat rice cakes!
......
The casting results for "The Last Emperor" came out, and they did not surprise Yang Ye.
Both Zun Lung and Leslie Cheung were unsuccessful, and Leung Ka Wai was selected.
This is not surprising, because the person Bertolucci originally liked was Liang Jiahui.
The first choice is here, even if Zunlong comes, it will be useless.
Yang Ye is now curious about what the Liang family's version of "The Last Emperor" will look like!
The role of Wan Rong was not unexpected, and Chen Chong was chosen.
Her conditions are great. She comes from an intellectual family, and her temperament is more suitable for Wanrong.
She is a movie queen, with excellent acting skills and very fluent English.
None of the Hong Kong actresses Yang Ye approached for auditions were her match.
As for Wenxiu, Wu Junmei didn't come, so naturally she had nothing to do.
Zhang Min was selected, which made Yang Ye breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bertolucci didn't choose a Japanese girl or something.
After the Liang family selected Puyi, they officially signed a contract with Baiyang Pictures. Yang Ye has added a new star, and he is very happy!
Zunlong lived in Hong Kong for more than half a month. When he learned that the audition failed, he was about to leave sadly, but Yang Ye came to visit him.
Yang Ye smiled and shook hands with Zun Long: "Mr. Wu, you have been in Hong Kong for so long, and I only have time to meet you today, so I am neglecting you!"
Zun Long is a stage name, His real name is Wu Guoliang.
Zunlong smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, you are so polite. When I was in Los Angeles, I wanted to visit you, but unfortunately I didn't get to meet you."
Zunlong was almost a good trick. , because it was Yang Ye who selected him to star in "Withered Flowers", although that movie later failed to become a hit.
Yang Ye thought to himself that he was not a human being like the rumors outside. How did he manage to become a human being inside and outside?
Although Yang Ye has information about Zun Long, it is just information from various parties. It is relatively general and the real reason cannot be known.
Yang Ye was too lazy to think about such a complicated matter, because it was not the point. He went straight to the point: "Has Mr. Wu come back to Hong Kong to develop?"
Zun Long was stunned: "Go back to Hong Kong. ?”
Yang Ye said: “With all due respect, Hollywood is not suitable for the development of Chinese people. With your conditions, you should be able to get more opportunities if you come to Hong Kong”
Zun Long was very tempted. After all, he knew Yang Ye's power in the Hong Kong film industry.
However, he still hesitated and said: "I have signed a management contract in the United States for less than two years."
Yang Ye said: "The one you signed is Huang Meiyu, right?"
< br>“Yes!”
Huang Meiyu is an American socialite. She married into a well-known American entertainment family and opened a brokerage company.
The characteristic of this company is that it only signs Chinese people and then looks for opportunities for Chinese actors in Hollywood.
Later, many Chinese actors who became somewhat famous in Hollywood, such as John Lone, Chen Chong, Wu Junmei, Lucy Liu... all signed with Huang Meiyu's company.
The famous "Memoirs of a Geisha" in later generations is obviously a Japanese theme, but the three heroines are all Chinese. Huang Meiyu single-handedly contributed to it.
Yang Yedao: "With all due respect, the "Year of the Dragon" that Huang Meiyu helped you accept has now caused a large-scale boycott by Chinese people in North America. If you want to continue to develop in Hollywood, you can only receive this kind of movie. An insulting role. You...are willing to do this?"
Zun Long was speechless.
He was silent for a moment and said: "I... think about it!"
"OK!"
Having said that, Yang Ye didn't bother to say more.
The opportunity has been given, don’t pull it down! (End of this chapter)
