Yang Ye chose to cooperate with Jean-Jacques, firstly because this guy is a maniac about details and can restore the props in the movie to the extreme.
If Yang Ye was to do it by himself, he wouldn't have the time.
The second reason is because this person is a member of the Communist Party and our comrade. He does not engage in racial discrimination. His ideal is to liberate all mankind.
In the first movie he made, "Blacks Fight for Whites," he madly complained about colonial policies and racial discrimination, and blackened stupid white people.
His good friend Bertolucci was also a member of the Communist Party, which is why Bertolucci could film "The Last Emperor" in the Forbidden City and make it casually. permitted by the state.
However, the fact that Yang Ye replaced the prototype character of the novel for no reason was too nonsense, and Jacques couldn't accept it.
Jean Jacques said: "If you want to film Semyon's story, then why not really tell his story, but use the shell of "At the Gate" to make up one?"
< br>Yang Ye said: "The best way to make a sniper movie is to describe a wonderful showdown in a war. If it were made into a biographical movie, it would be nothing to watch.
"At the Gate of the City" This novel is originally fictional, but it is based on Vasily Zaitsev. In fact, it doesn’t make much difference who is the prototype.
The reason why I chose to star in it is because of war movies. The investment is too big, I want to ensure that I can recover the cost as much as possible, after all, I have a company to run.”
The two discussed it, and in order for Jacques to take over the task, Yang Ye promised that in order to truly restore the cruel scenes of World War II in the movie, he would build a Stalingrad during World War II.
Yang Ye even promised to invest in Jacques if he wanted to make any movies in the future.
Jean Jacques liked to make some weird movies. For example, he later raised eighteen bears and made a movie called "The Bear Story" with the bears as the protagonists.
For a movie like this, it is difficult to find investment because it has no box office prospects. If Yang Ye is willing to be the master (son) of Jin (Kai), that would be great!
In fact, those weird movies made by Jacques often get a good reputation. Others don't know the goods, and Yang Ye is not blind.
These promises made Jacques very excited. He finally said: "If you must take pictures, I have to go to the Soviet Union to collect information."
Yang Ye said: "Of course!"
“It’s best for the movie to be shot in the Soviet Union!”
“If the Soviet Union agrees, that would be the best!”
“It’s best for you to go to the Soviet Union with me.”
"What should I do?"
"Your kung fu movies are very popular in the Soviet Union. If they know that you are playing a Soviet hero, they will definitely give you the green light!"
Of course Yang Ye knew that his movie was very popular in the Soviet Union.
In this time and space, because of the kung fu movie trend led by Yang Ye and because of the need to fight against the cultural invasion of Hollywood, the Soviet Union introduced many kung fu movies to hedge against it, resulting in Yang Ye becoming quite famous in the Soviet Union.
“Okay, let’s take a walk!”
Due to the butt problem, "At the Battle of the City" of the original time and space is actually quite anti-Soviet.
Because this novel was written by a Yankee and the movie was shot by Hollywood, and when the movie was shot, the Soviet Union was gone.
Yang Ye and Jean Jacques wanted to go to the Soviet Union to film. Naturally, they couldn't play like this, and it was impossible to follow the original work, not to mention they changed the protagonists.
So in the end I just borrowed a framework and made the rest myself.
The two just went ahead and immediately wrote a joint letter to the Soviet Film Bureau, saying that they wanted to make a movie about the Battle of Stalingrad, hoping to go to the Soviet Union for filming and get support!
Both were well-known directors, and the letter was quickly responded to with an invitation to visit the Soviet Union.
This is not surprising. The Soviet Union also invited Akira Kurosawa to visit and filmed a film "Dersu Uzala".
The protagonist of that movie is also from the Northeast.
After some communication between the two parties, Yang Ye and Jean Jacques decided to go to the Soviet Union in July.
Yang Yexin said, it is said that I am famous in Mao Xiong Elementary School, and the Mao girls are enthusiastic and open-minded. I wonder if they will come to my door and let me become a fan?
......
Atari Company, Yang Ye and Wang Zuxian sat together, each pressing a controller and playing "Contra" on the newly developed Atari 7800.
“Hahaha, this game is so fun!”
Wang Zuxian finally understood why Yang Ye brought her to the United States.
It turns out that the most fun thing Brother Ye said was a game.
Wang Zuxian likes to play games the most, let alone a classic game like "Contra".
She fell in love with it as soon as she started playing it. It was really fun to play and she even yelled.
"Dodge bullets, dodge bullets, this way, this way...Brother Ye, you are so stupid, you can do this."
How could Yang Ye do this?
He just thought the way Xiaoxian played games was so cute and couldn't help but admire it.
"Hey, why are you still alive after death?"
"Because I used the secret book!"
"You are so shameless that you didn't tell me the secret book!"
>Wang Zuxian is extremely obsessed with games and is a serious gamer girl.
She usually never leaves her hand with her game console. She plays games during her breaks in filming and meals.
He even played games while being interviewed by reporters.
The reporter threatened: "If you don't put down the game console, I will kill your monster!"
She had to put down the game console and chat with the reporter.
She plays games at a very high level, has a quick mind and quick hands, and is famous on the set.
In the Hong Kong entertainment circle, she has the highest score in Tetris and has passed all various level-breaking games.
If left to future generations, she would be as inferior as Wang Zhaojun in national uniform! Hey...are you very fast?
This... Yang Ye likes it very much!
Yang Ye became serious, skillfully operated "Stallone" and led Wang Zuxian through the level in minutes.
Wang Zuxian admired him so much that he kept shouting "Brother Ye is great", allowing Yang Ye to experience the joy of a great god leading a girl.
Wang Zuxian was still full of ideas and said eagerly: "Brother Ye, can we play again?"
Yang Ye said: "You can play, but can you give me back my character."
There are only two characters in this game, one is Yang Ye and the other is Stallone. Wang Zuxian wants to play Yang Ye to death.
Wang Zuxian puffed up his cheeks and said, "I don't!"
Yang Yexin said, it's so cute.
"You can play, brother, you can play whatever you want!" Yang Ye said.
Wang Zuxian blushed: "You take advantage of others, I won't obey you!"
Damn, the Taiwanese accent came out.
"Hey, I didn't complain to someone as evil as you first. You were playing tricks on me. Why do you still say that I took advantage of you?"
"I won't tell you anymore, it's about to start. La! ”
Yang Ye and Wang Zuxian played two games of "Contra". It was getting late, but Wang Zuxian was still unsatisfied and didn't want to eat.
“Let’s go eat first!”
“I’m going to lose weight!”
Yang Ye was convinced.
“Be obedient, and I will let you take this game console back to Hong Kong when the time comes!”
Yang Ye used his trump card, and Wang Zuxian finally put down the controller obediently and followed Yang Ye to eat.
"Brother Ye, why are you so good at playing games?" Wang Zuxian asked while peeling the shrimp.
Yang Ye opened his mouth, and Wang Zuxian fed a peeled shrimp into Yang Ye's mouth. Yang Ye sucked his white and tender fingers, which made him feel a little shy.
Yang Ye ate the delicious shrimp meat and said: "I designed this game, and I understand the tricks. Of course, it will be faster to pass the level.
Actually, your gaming talent is also pretty good. But it’s your first time playing and you need to explore, so of course you can’t compete with me!”
Wang Zuxian admired him so much: "I found that you are very good at everything you do."
Yang Ye said: "You like playing games so much. I will go to the Soviet Union in a while. You can go with me. I will take you there." Play the most fun game in the world!"
Wang Zuxian was very surprised: "What is the most fun game in the world?"
"Tetris!"
Yang Ye went to the Soviet Union this time. Filmmaking was a trivial matter. The key was to pick up money. One billion dollars meant he had to pick it up.
...
At United Artists, several senior executives gathered together to chat.
United Artists' performance in the past few years has been relatively impressive. The movies it invested in rarely failed, especially the projects planned by Yang Ye, which all made huge profits.
"First Blood" and "Alien" have become the company's flagship series like United Artists' original "Rocky" and "007".
The "Shanghai Noon" series created by Yang Ye for Chen Long and Tom Cruise is also good, and the company is planning to shoot the third episode.
Yang Ye came here mainly to see the newly developed Atari 7800 game console and the console game "Contra".
Judging from the results, Yang Ye is quite satisfied. The Atari 7800 is completely comparable to the Nintendo Famicom.
Thanks to the suggestions given by Yang Ye, this game console has added many innovative features that are eye-catching.
Moreover, Yang Ye gave enough development time for the development team to improve and strive to leave no bugs. It was not like the original time and space selling disc Hua who did it blindly and desperately.
In addition, Atari has also re-improved its popular games such as "Pac-Man" and believes that it will have good sales results after being launched on the market.
After the sudden death of Atari, the North American home console market was blank for more than a year, and was reopened by Nintendo.
Nintendo is now the king of home consoles in North America. If Atari wants to rise again, it must step on Nintendo a few times.
How to step on it?
Just four words: boycott Japanese goods!
Nowadays, the United States is crazy about being anti-Japanese. They hold demonstrations at every turn, burn plaster flags and so on.
Those large companies with related interests are clamoring against Japan. Even if it’s not relevant, I’ll say a few strange words.
Some companies, such as Wal-Mart, are taking advantage of the situation to make a lot of patriotic wealth!
Of course Atari will take advantage of the situation and step on Nintendo's head to get the upper hand.
After the strategy comes out, you only need to find an executor to formulate a specific plan, and then launch it into the market.
Yang Ye does not need to worry about these specific matters. Navigating the sea depends on the helmsman, and Yang Ye is the person at the helm.
Yang Ye said: "We not only want to promote the boycott of Japanese goods in the United States and promote our domestic game consoles. We also need to enter our game consoles into the Japanese market and compete with Nintendo in Japan!"
Xie Yixin said, have you lost your head while riding a horse? We are boycotting Japanese goods in the United States, and we want to go to Japan to compete with them. How should we decide?
Yang Ye said disapprovingly: "In order to appease the anger of the United States, the Japanese choose to work hard to consume American goods. Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone even publicly preached that every Japanese should consume US$100 of American goods.
So, we won’t have any problems going to the Japanese market. The Japanese might even deliberately buy our products. In order to make them contribute more to the United States, I think our game consoles will be priced accordingly. For...$200!"
Two hundred dollars, double contribution? Damn it, although it sounds very nonsense, it actually makes a lot of sense! Shay was convinced. (End of chapter)
