Lunch was almost done, and Yang Ye called several apprentices to the living room.
Li Saifeng obediently boiled water for tea, while Hui Yinghong ran to cut a plate of fruit.
"Master, drink tea!"
"Be good!"
Yang Ye took a sip of tea and said: "A Hong, go to the study and help me get some paper Come here."
"Oh!"
"Fighting, or even killing, is a very bloody and scary thing.
Excellent action movie actors have their own ways to resolve this kind of violence Anger, let the audience accept themselves, the specific analysis has just been done.
The so-called opposite is to not eliminate the anger, but to amplify the anger and make the character become more violent and wild! "
He Jiajin, who had been silent all this time, heard this and said, "Doesn't that make him a villain?"
At this time, Hui Yinghong brought a pen and paper over, and Yang Ye drew a nine-square grid on the paper and said:
"Generally speaking, when we make action movies, we pay attention to the opposition between black and white, and the confrontation between good and evil.
< br>If there is a third party, it is a neutral party, which is protected by the decent and the target of the villain.
But the world is not black and white. There is no clear boundary between black and white, and there are many.
So when I divided the camps, I expanded it and changed the traditional three types into nine.”
Yang Ye said while painting: "The so-called camp is composed of personal morality and attitude towards social order.
Personal morality can be divided into justice, neutrality and evil. Attitude towards social order can be divided into lawful , Neutral, and Chaos.
With each other, you can form nine types of alignments: lawful justice, neutral justice, chaotic justice, lawful neutral, absolute neutrality, chaotic neutrality, lawful evil, neutral evil, and chaotic evil. "
Yang Ye gave a more detailed explanation of the nine camps, and finally said: "Generally speaking, the camps where the protagonists are in the movies are mostly neutral and just, and the camps where the traditional villains are mostly are. Neutral evil.
There are also many lawful and righteous protagonists, such as Li Mubai in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but Li Mubai is in a struggle inside.
There are not many protagonists in the chaotic justice camp in Chinese movies! "
Donnie Yen grew up in the United States. His eyes lit up and he said, "Isn't there more in Hollywood? "
Yang Ye nodded: "Yes, especially in Hollywood B-level movies, this kind of protagonist is more common, and there are even some more evil ones, such as anti-hero movies.
Given that the Chinese world is relatively conservative and combined with your own conditions, the camp that is more suitable for you is Chaotic Justice.
People in the chaotic justice camp have their own set of moral standards and will act according to their own will.
As long as he thinks it is right, he will do it even if it is illegal or illegal.
In view of this characteristic, in order to increase the character's sense of contradiction and dramatic conflict, it is best to set your occupation as a police officer.
When you face a criminal who commits evil crimes and you cannot convict him by following formal procedures.
You chose to know the law and break it, fabricate evidence, frame up, and ultimately exchange violence for violence. "
Yang Yeyunshan was surrounded by fog for a long time, and finally said: "In the past six months, I have been busy with "The Voice of China" and will not leave Hong Kong. I just have time to create a movie tailor-made for you, called "The Voice of China" "Slay the Wolf"! ”
The reason why I chose "Slaying the Wolf" instead of the more commercially successful "Ip Man" is because Donnie Yen has not yet lost his temper.
When Donnie Yen was young, it cannot be said that he was not handsome, but he had a bit of a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. In Cantonese, he looked like a horse.
At this time, Donnie Yen cannot act like a master alone, and is more suitable for playing a character full of violence.
"Sha Po Lang" is also a very long series. In addition to the two orthodox parts, there are also "The Fuse" and "Sha Po Lang: Greedy Wolf".
"The Fuse" is actually the prequel movie of "Sha Po Lang", originally called "Sha Po Lang·Po Army".
However, there were frequent accidents during the filming and it was very unsatisfactory, so I changed the name in the hope of good luck.
"Sha Po Lang?" Zhen Zidan felt a little confused when he heard this strange name.
“Sha Po Lang is the abbreviation of the three stars Qisha, Po Jun and Greedy Wolf. It is a destiny in the crape myrtle astrology, representing destruction, contradiction and greed respectively.
These three fates are also reflected in the three protagonists. You play Po Jun, I will ask Hong Jingbao to play the villain Greedy Wolf, and Ajie will guest star in Seven Kills
The action styles are different. Introducing MMA mixed martial arts to traditional Hong Kong action movies and taking the path of violent aesthetics. Whether it can succeed depends on your luck. ”
Zhen Zidan was overjoyed, Master took action on his own, how could it not be successful? He quickly offered tea to Yang Ye: "Thank you, Master!"
Yang Ye nodded, and finally said to He Jiajin: "Ah Jin, your temperament is somewhat similar to Ajie, but he has taken all the bonuses on this track. I suggest you stay in the TV industry.
ATV has bought the rights to "Heroes of China" and plans to make it into a TV series. I will tell them that they will let you play the role of "Heroes of China". br>In the past, martial arts novels were adapted into TV series, but this is the first time that a martial arts comic has been adapted into a TV series. It’s worth a try.”
“Thank you, Master!”
He Jiajin has nothing to say. After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became a hit, he began to try movies and made several movies. He even appeared in Chen Long's "Police Story" without any splash.
On the contrary, because of the delay in filming movies and dramas, his popularity dropped a lot. Master gave Hua Yingxiong to him, which was obviously to give him a try.
I got tired of ATV’s martial arts dramas and started to go down the path of fantasy.
Starting this year, we plan to adapt fantasy novels such as "Chinese Heroes", "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" and "Wind and Cloud" into TV series. We are also preparing to produce "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Gods" ourselves.
Ziqi Company has also begun to explore fantasy-themed special effects, and all of this will naturally pave the way for subsequent fantasy movies.
...
Zhao Yazhi took Yang Ritian back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. After dinner, Yang Ritian and several cousins clamored to go to the movies and watch "The Invincible of the East".
Zhao Yazhen said: "Haohao, tonight the premiere of "Joking about Qianlong" starring your mommy, are you sure you want to go to the movie instead of watching TV?"
"This... ..." Yang Ritian said dejectedly: "I watch TV!"
On one side is his father and on the other is his mother. Although Yang Ritian would rather go to the movies, he is at his mother's house now.
People are under the eaves and have to lower their heads. Just watch TV!
Zhao Yazhen smiled and touched his little head: "You are so good, you are really your mother's good baby!"
"Auntie, please don't touch my head all the time, okay? ? The president is not tall.”
The family was sitting in the living room, eating snacks, chatting, and waiting for the broadcast of "Playing with Qianlong".
"Joking about Qianlong" was broadcast simultaneously on ATV and Star TV, but the old Zhao family only watched ATV when watching TV.
Star TV is a Mandarin channel and has little influence in Hong Kong.
“It’s begun, it’s begun!”
“The mountains and rivers cannot bear too much sorrow, and the years cannot bear to wait too long. Spring flowers love to sway in the wind, but the yellow sand wants to blow away the madness. Buried with grievances..."
The theme song "Ask for Love" sung by Lijun Teng began to play, and "Joking about Qianlong" was officially launched.
"Ask for Love" has two versions in the original time and space. The Taiwan version is sung by Cai Xinjuan, and the mainland version is sung by Zhang Jihong.
Zhang Jihong later went to Japan, but not many people knew her. Cai Xingjuan is very famous in Taiwan, and her voice is super sweet, second only to Teresa Teng.
Since there is first place, who wants second place? Yang Ye asked Lijun Deng to sing.
When the original time and space "Joking Qianlong" was filmed in the Forbidden City, you couldn't really go in, you could only do it outside.
The filming in Guangming Film and Television City is different now. It is open and open, so the momentum is extraordinary from the beginning.
Zhao Yazhen said: "Wow, this is the Forbidden City built by my brother-in-law? It's so beautiful!"
Zhao Yazhi nodded: "They are all restored to equal proportions. In the future, scenes from the Ming and Qing dynasties can be filmed here. "
"Can I go visit it?"
"Of course, the film and television city is open to tourists. I will invite my family to go there someday. Hong Kong Street is still being built there. Guangzhou Street and Shanghai Street. Then you can see what Hong Kong was like in the 1930s."
When Zhao Yazhi said this, the Zhao family couldn't help but be very interested, because they could see their childhood life again. past place.
While talking, the screening of "A Play on Qianlong" officially started.
If it weren’t for Zhao Yazhi starring, it would be impossible for these people to get together to watch TV, and they would have gone away to be happy.
Fortunately, the filming of the TV series was pretty good and very enjoyable. At the end of the episode, Zhao Yazhi finally appeared.
Yang Ritian immediately flattered her: "Mommy, you are so beautiful!"
Zhao Yazhi played the three roles in "A Play on Qianlong". To be honest, her acting skills were not very good. It's very cliche, but screenwriter Song Xiangru is very capable and helped her a lot.
Although it is a joke, the whole play is not only ups and downs, but also has beautiful dialogues, elegant diction and profound literary heritage.
The three characters played by Zhao Yazhi are also programmed with distinct personalities and their own characteristics.
Cheng Huaixiu, who appeared first, has a distinctive personality, independent thinking and personality, does not depend on men, can take things up and let them go, dares to love and hate, lives a transparent and rational life!
Some of her words, deeds and thoughts are actually more like those of modern women, and even many modern women would feel ashamed!
If placed in future generations, she would be a proper heroine.
The mainland broadcast rights of "Joking about Qianlong" were sold to BJ station. After it was broadcast, it received some criticism from public opinion because it subverted traditional historical concepts.
However, criticism is criticism, the ratings are unparalleled.
The Communist Youth League newspaper devoted an entire page to reporting on "Joking about Qianlong", praising Zheng Shaoqiu as "all the rage in Beijing".
CCTV's "Variety Show" even asked Zheng Shaoqiu to wear Qianlong's clothes to sing.< br>
……
During the Spring Festival, "The Invincible" was a hit at the box office, and the ratings of "A Play on Qianlong" were also soaring, and it soon became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
This year’s Spring Festival was contracted by Yang Ye’s two wives.
Taiwan is Lin Qingxia’s home base. This movie is a heroine-driven movie. Even Yang Ye is a foil for her. Naturally, the people of Taiwan strongly support it.
In the greater Taipei area alone, the number of moviegoers reached 510,000, and the box office revenue was more than NT$75 million.
South Korea also celebrates the Spring Festival, and "The Invincible" also chose to be broadcast during the Spring Festival, and ultimately achieved 470,000 moviegoers in the Seoul area.
In Vietnam, Hong Kong movies have re-entered the scene in recent years.
The Spring Festival is also celebrated there, and I especially like to read Jin Yong’s novels. After the release of "The Swordsman", it also received crazy popularity.
Today's Vietnam is dominated by Hong Kong films. Hollywood has no reputation at all, so only French films can still get by.
However, Vietnam is now so poor that it urinates blood and is even poorer than before.
Our army in this time and space fought much better than in the original time and space, and the punishment given to the monkeys was at least twice as large.
If the international pressure were not too great, Vietnam might become like the Korean Peninsula.
So it can’t be sold for much money, it can only be regarded as a mosquito leg.
After it became a hit in Asia and the Pacific, the next step is to release it selectively in Europe, America, South America, and the Middle East.
What makes Yang Ye better than other action film actors is that after "Shaolin Temple" became a global hit, he has continued to produce works and strives for breakthroughs so that the audience will not feel aesthetic fatigue.
So in the past fifteen years, he has been firmly grasping the overseas market and has become a veritable world's number one action star, with fans all over the five continents.
...
In the following time, Yang Ye began to prepare for "Slaying the Wolf".
He only served as a producer for this film and did not direct it himself. Instead, he handed over the direction to Johnnie To.
Because he is also busy with "The Voice of China", being a mentor is a very tiring job.
Galaxy Impression, which Johnnie To later founded, was originally good at shooting such dark-style, fatalistic movies.
Of course, "Sha Po Lang" is more important for its action style.
Because this movie has to be about real fighting, and it has to be very punchy, and it has to make the audience feel that this is actual combat, and that they feel pain.
Injury is inevitable during the filming process.
When the original "Slaying the Wolf" was being filmed, the entire team was scarred.
Yang Ye found Donnie Yen, Hong Jingbao, and Li Lianjie, and together with the martial arts team, began targeted training.
Try to be familiar with this fighting style before shooting, so as to avoid any injuries during the actual shooting.
Hong Jingbao used to play some funny roles, but Yang Ye asked him to play the villain this time.
Hong Jingbao was originally reluctant, but because of Yang Ye's face, he came anyway.
In the past few years, he has been filming one movie and the other, which made many people who used to call him big brother lose face and just call him Sanmao.
However, he ushered in the second spring of his career because of filming "The Secret of the Dragon" with Yang Ye.
Yang Ye directly told Hong Jingbao: "Sanmao, the audience you used to see is tired of it. It doesn't work anymore. Why not try to transform and seek new breakthroughs."
Hong Jingbao thought it made sense and accepted it. .
After Hung Jingbao fell in love with Hong Kong sister Gao Lihong, he wanted to marry her.
I was going through a divorce recently, and I was very annoyed, so I just stayed in Yang Ye’s martial arts gym to practice.
Hong Jingbao’s wife Cao Enyu is a Korean, and she met her when she went to South Korea to film a movie.
After marriage, Cao Enyu gave birth to four children for Hong Jingbao. Now Hong Jingbao wants to kick her, but it is not that easy.
She wants all of Hong Jingbao’s property and lets the fat man cleanse himself and leave the house.
Of course Hong Jingbao won't do it. I paid for all this money with my life. You can pay for the divorce, but you want it all. This is too much.
The two sides are at a stalemate, and this marriage will not be divorced for a while. (End of this chapter)
