"Terminator 2" was released in Hong Kong for two months, with a box office of 43.6 million Hong Kong dollars, significantly breaking the box office record.
Because I still have stamina, I still haven’t drawn it yet.
The Oriental Condor, directed and starred by Hong Jingbao, was jointly strangled by a number of blockbusters. The local box office was only 16 million, showing its decline.
Overseas markets were also unsatisfactory, with serious losses, which made Jiahe very unhappy.
As "Terminator 2" sweeps the world and continues to set new records, Yang Ye has shown the momentum to dominate the world.
Now, Yang Ye's new film invited Hong Jingbao to star, and Hong Jingbao agreed immediately.
Everyone makes choices, and Hong Jingbao is not stupid.
In the past two years or so, people who have followed Yang Ye have not only swept across Southeast Asia, but also entered the Japanese and Korean markets.
Under the background, the Taiwan market seems like a piece of cake.
Hong Kyung-bo’s films have also been popular in Japan and South Korea, such as "The Five Lucky Stars", "Plan A", and "The Lucky Star" all ranked among the top ten in South Korea.
But... that's all because of Chen Long. Without Chen Long, he is nothing.
In the past two years, if Chen Long stopped giving him any favors, his true colors have been revealed and he cannot afford to sell at a high price overseas.
After the filming of "Terminator 2" was completed, although Yang Ye was not doing his job, he produced "Diary of a Man" and "Hong Kong Love Story".
But everyone in the industry knows that he is preparing for a blockbuster movie.
With the power of "Terminator 2", if there is another blockbuster, what will be the response in the international market?
It’s unimaginable!
Hong Jingbao did not expect that Yang Ye would invite him to be one of the leading actors in this blockbuster.
Hong Jingbao will not give up this opportunity even if it is blocked by Taiwan.
Chen Long and his friends could not enter the Taiwanese market for their films, but they still lived a prosperous life. They also sold their films to the mainland and enjoyed unlimited success.
Besides, when he left Baiyang Company at a critical moment last time, Yang Ye didn't say anything.
Now Yang Ye ignored the past and invited him to be the leading actor. If he refused again, he would really offend Yang Ye badly.
Yang Ye is usually very kind, but if he really pisses him off, he won’t get any good juice.
So Hong Jingbao decisively agreed to Yang Ye’s invitation.
However, after he left and came back, all his previous treatment at Baiyang Company was reduced to zero.
There is no studio, no box office share, and only a salary of 500,000 yuan.
This salary is a bit low for Hong Jingbao, but as he stars in Yang Ye's movie, he earns money if he can get on board, so Hong Jingbao has no complaints.
......
At the company meeting, Yang Ye said: "After the collapse of Kitagawa, there was a huge vacancy in Japan's male idol market.
This is much higher than that of back then. Momoe Yamaguchi retired, and there was a bigger vacancy for girl idols.
At that time, there was a missing head, but a large number of girl idols such as Nakamori Akina, Matsuda Seiko, and Koizumi Kyoko were born.
< br>
There is a large shortage of idols now, and Japan's major entertainment companies are trying their best to find new male idols to fill the market gap.
However, the gap is too big to be filled, so our opportunity comes.
The next step, our key goal is to introduce our male idols to Japan!
Among the young artists in our company currently, Liming and Aaron Kwok are the most promising and should be the key targets for training.
The TV series "Hong Kong Love Story", starring the super idol Akina Nakamori, has been bought by Japan's Fuji TV and will be shown in the winter season.
With Akina here, the ratings of this drama will not be bad. You should take this opportunity to come up with a complete set of publicity plans to build momentum for Liming and Aaron Kwok in Japan and maximize their profits! "
After hearing Yang Ye's words, everyone couldn't help but feel surprised and suspicious.
In the first half of the year, Yang Ye suddenly shot a TV series without doing his job, and gave the TV series a new name: " "Idol Drama", and inexplicably found a Japanese idol to be the heroine.
After the TV series was filmed, he went to Japan to expose the Kitagawa scandal. The collapse of the Nice Agency caused the Japanese male idol market to collapse instantly.
Then he sold the idol drama to Japan, and now he has asked the company to come up with a plan to promote Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok. This dominates Japan's male idol market
This horse riding... is basically a combination of punches!
Right, everything is right, no wonder Yang Ye suddenly made a TV series and found Akina Nakamori to be the heroine.
This is obviously to take advantage of Akina Nakamori’s momentum to launch Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok in Japan.
In order to clear the way, he even destroyed Johnny's Agency and buried a large number of Japanese male idols with him.
A big move, this is definitely a fucking big move, this is about stepping on the enemy's bones to get to the top!
Everyone couldn't help but admire Yang Ye's methods.
Coupled with the fact that "Terminator 2" set off a box office frenzy around the world, even Americans exclaimed that Yang Ye had defeated Hollywood.
Everyone suddenly felt that being able to start a business with Yang Ye was a fucking blessing in life.
This feeling is no different from when an ancient taxi met the Ming Lord.
……
In fact, Yang Ye's trick is very simple: use scandal to bring down Japanese male idols.
Using Akina Nakamori to launch Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok in Japan is exactly the same as later generations of Taiwan using mainland actresses to launch their own male idols.
In the Tianya Forum of later generations, a Taiwanese "star-making plan" was once mentioned. Although it is absurd, it is quite reasonable.
This so-called "star-making plan" is to use mainland female stars to support Taiwanese male stars. The Trade in Services Agreement signed in 2003 stipulates the definition of a co-production film, one of which is that in terms of the protagonist, the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan must each share half.
Since Hong Kong male stars have greater box office appeal, in order to maximize profits, co-productions have formed a model of Hong Kong male stars paired with mainland female stars.
This model has caused Hong Kong actresses to disappear, while mainland actresses represented by Four Danshuangbing have taken advantage of the situation to rise.
However, the entertainment market has always been dominated by male stars. The mainland entertainment industry is on an evil path and will not last long.
As Hong Kong's front-line men age, the new generation of successors suddenly die suddenly. This... gives Taiwan an opportunity.
Since Hong Kong’s young generation has died violently, Taiwan has taken the opportunity to launch its own male stars.
This is actually a copy of the mainland's routine: co-productions between mainland China and Hong Kong have led to the collective rise of mainland female stars; Taiwan has followed the same method and used the same method to collectively rise Taiwanese male stars.
Probably since "Red Cliff", a large number of co-productions have featured popular mainland actresses paired with Taiwanese idol actors, which has almost become a standard feature.
For example, Zhou Yuyu partnered with Reba in "Fire Like a Song", 576 partnered with Liu Shishi in "Step by Step", Ruan Jingtian partnered with Yang Mi in "Fuyao", and Zhao Yaoyang partnered with Yang Mi in "Three Lives Three Worlds" , "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"...
576 and Zhao Yaoyang also kidnapped Shishi and Yuanyuan, what a shame, the hatred of seizing his wife!
This is about TV series, and even more about movies.
Peng Yuyan starred in one big production after another, and Zhao Yayao also got big cakes such as Youth and Detective Dee. If the drug-addicted Dong Dong didn't take drugs, he would have taken off with "Monster Hunt".
In fact, this so-called sinister plan does not exist at all.
Some people swear that Hong Kong director John Woo and Taiwanese director Zhu Yanping openly promoted this plan to "use mainland female stars to launch Taiwanese male stars" in a program in Singapore.
John Woo and Zhu Yanping are not idiots. If they really had this plan, would they be stupid enough to say it openly on the show?
Singapore is not from another time and space. As soon as they say it, won’t the mainland know about it, and won’t their plan be over?
This so-called Singapore show actually does not exist at all. Otherwise, the video of their conversation would be all over the place.
Why would anyone believe this nonsense?
Because people only believe what they want to believe!
So this kind of conspiracy theory that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me" is very popular.
……
So, since there is no such conspiracy, why is there such a phenomenon of Taiwanese male stars hooking up with mainland female stars?
Because you deliberately picked this out to talk about, you naturally think there are too many.
In fact, there are many Taiwanese actresses who have dated mainland male stars. Taiwanese actresses such as Joe Chen, An Yixuan, and Lin Xinru have dated countless mainland male stars.
Before Lin Xinru's reputation was not bad, her partner Yuan Hong starred in "Beautiful Country", which received extremely high ratings. This is obviously a Taiwanese girl leading a Chinese boy. How do conspiracy theorists explain it?
Well, it’s a common thing if a man is with a woman or a woman is with a man.
In fact, this is just a cooperation model that emerged under certain conditions.
One reason is that co-production can help expand overseas markets, but the young generation in Hong Kong are dying and can only use Taiwanese products.
Another reason is that most Hong Kong films in the golden age were invested by Taiwanese.
This has resulted in a large number of Taiwanese producers and Hong Kong directors having close friendships.
This group of Taiwanese producers later came to the mainland to invest in film and television dramas, and they are the real driving force behind this phenomenon.
For example, it was Chen Guofu who recommended Zhao Yaoyang to play Dee Renjie.
Chen Guofu is Taiwanese, so he naturally likes to recommend Taiwanese actors, and he also recommended Peng Yuyan to Hong Kong directors.
It’s human nature for fellow villagers to help fellow villagers. If fellow villagers don’t help fellow villagers, that’s what’s wrong with their brains.
Of course, Taiwanese people know how to help fellow countrymen, and mainlanders also know how to protect their weaknesses.
This model quickly became a hot topic and sparked a wave of conspiracy theories. As a result, a large number of Taiwanese artists returned to Taiwan.
In time, Yang Ye's story of killing Kitagawa in Japan and then taking advantage of the situation to launch a Chinese male idol might also be spread as a "conspiracy theory."
After all, "conspiracy theories" are very popular around the world.
Does Yang Ye actually have such a conspiracy? No, he was just following the trend.
But no one will believe it!
Fortunately, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. By the time the Japanese react, Yang Ye has already made money.
And the idols he launched will become the youth of a generation of Japanese.
However, just two people, Liming and Aaron Kwok, are not enough. There are three people in "Heavenly Banquet".
So, when the meeting was about to end, Yang Ye threw out a piece of information and said: "This trainee named Zheng Yijian has a very good appearance. Let's train him and arrange for him to act in a TV series first!"
...
In 1986, Zheng Yijian participated in the TVB Rookie Singer Competition with his friends and was invited to audition. After passing the assessment, he entered the TVB artist training class.
However, due to his shy personality, reticence to talk, and nervousness, he was eliminated due to poor grades when he graduated three months later.
After that, Zheng Yijian found a clerk job in an office building and worked for a few months, but he felt that he was not suitable for this kind of work and quickly resigned.
In the original time and space, he tried again at TVB and entered the artist training class. This time he successfully graduated and made his debut.
However, due to the strong position of ATV in this time and space, Zheng Yijian did not go to TVB for his second choice.
He chose to try his luck at Baiyang Brokerage Company and successfully became a trainee.
Destiny always tilts towards the winning side, move closer!
This is... the universe and the earth are all working together! (End of this chapter)
