Just do it and start the project immediately.
Yang Ye didn’t want to spend a penny on this movie.
Since most of the movie screenings are in hotels, you can find a star hotel to sponsor it.
The sponsoring hotel should take care of the food and drink they had while filming in the hotel.
Then... the scene in the original movie where Kim Sung-wu was eating instant noodles was so out of the ordinary, why should we find a sponsor and take advantage of him?
Currently, the largest instant noodle company in Asia is Nissin, followed by Uni-President.
As for Master Kong, he has not been born yet.
Nissin is the inventor of instant noodles. The predecessor of this thing is actually the Yi noodles that are popular in Guangdong and Fujian.
It is to add eggs and salt to flour, make noodles and then fry them for easy storage.
Nissin’s president Momofuku Ando is actually a Taiwanese, his original name was Wu Baifu.
Wu Baifu has been accustomed to eating Yi noodles since he was a child. After arriving in Japan, he changed the Yi noodles and added a chicken sauce seasoning pack, which became the world's first "Chicken Soup Ramen".
The last emperor Puyi ate all the Manchu and Han banquets, and the food he would never forget the most in his life was the chicken soup ramen brought to him by his younger brother and sister-in-law Saga Hiroshi from Japan!
However, Yang Ye is still better looking at Uni-President. If Uni-President doesn’t pay, then Nissin will be the second choice.
So, the staff of Baiyang Pictures approached Tongyi and asked for a sponsorship fee of 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
……
Li Zhi reported to Yang Yehui: "Mr. Cha Jimin is willing to lend us the Discovery Bay Hotel for filming, and provide us with all conveniences such as food and accommodation during the filming."
Yang Ye nodded: " This is good!”
Discovery Bay Hotel is a four-star hotel on Lantau Island.
When Baiyang Pictures was filming "Unreachable Lovers", the Cha family helped build a permanent house on White Beach for the crew to shoot.
After the movie was released, many people went to Lantau Island to travel because of the movie. The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant.
The idol drama "Full House" currently being filmed by Star TV this year is a second use of that house.
In both "Unreachable Lovers" and "Full House", Yang Ye did not appear in person, but the Cha family strongly supported it.
This new film stars Yang Ye himself, so they naturally want it. As long as Yang Ye is willing to go, they can pay for it.
Moreover, after Discovery Bay was first developed, sales were not good. Yang Ye took the lead and bought dozens of units in one go, which made Cha Jimin very grateful.
In fact, Yang Ye bought so much, just to collect wool.
There were originally no people on Lantau Island, and the houses there were not valuable.
But in 1990, the Hong Kong government chose a new site to build the airport and chose Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island. Discovery Bay became a popular real estate overnight, and its value increased dozens of times.
Li Zhi continued to report: "Uni-President promised to give five million in sponsorship fees, but they hope... that you can become the spokesperson of Uni-President."
"Spokesperson?"
"Yes!"
"How much do they pay?"
"Thirty million Hong Kong dollars, for a three-year contract!"
"Oh, this is a sky-high price!"
"They are high The chairman said that the money is too small to match your worth. If you are interested, the high-level board of directors will come to Hong Kong to interview you."
Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "The unified product is too great. If I only endorse a certain series of products, for example, if I endorse instant noodles, my image can only be used on instant noodles, but not on juices, then I will agree to endorse it!" br>
"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Gao right away."
After Hu Yinmeng returned home to give birth to her baby, Li Zhi succeeded her as Yang Ye's secretary.
After observing for a period of time, Yang Ye felt that Li Zhi did a good job and asked Li Zhi to replace Hu Yinmeng and become his new manager.
So when it comes to endorsements, it is natural that Li Zhi personally comes forward.
Although Yang Ye is one of the richest men in Asia, his image is very close to the people, so he does not endorse high-end luxury brands, but only things that fans can afford.
However, not everyone can ask Yang Ye to speak for him, and he is not short of money.
Being able to hire Yang Ye as the spokesperson was entirely due to chance and luck.
Yang Ye endorsed Peugeot because of filming and implantation.
Later, German and Japanese luxury cars wanted him to endorse them, but he refused.
For more than ten years, I have devoted myself to cooperating with the logo.
I endorsed Lindt and Sprüngli because I was filming a movie and doing implants, so I got the endorsement right away.
Later, I filmed "God of Gamblers 2", which included a scene where I was taking photos with a camera, and I became the spokesperson for Canon.
This time for the filming of "I Like You", the brand of Uni-President is not bad, and the name is also festive, so I will endorse it.
Yang Ye also has another requirement for his endorsement, that is, he must also shoot the advertisements, so that he can make a lot of money.
On this point, those companies all agree with their hands.
It's something you can't even ask for when a world-class director personally shoots a commercial.
He only received five million Hong Kong dollars in remuneration for one advertisement, and he couldn't be more conscientious.
Li Zhi was about to go out, but Yang Ye stopped her: "Zhizhi, wait a minute!"
"Huh?"
"This drama is yours Come and play a role for me!”
"Ah, what role?"
"The hero's personal chef, speaking of it, is similar to our current relationship."
"I...have never filmed a movie!"
“You can learn.”
“Okay!”
Li Zhi made up his mind to take acting classes and try to figure out the role.
Yang Ye asked Li Zhi to play the role of Lin Zhiling in the original version.
Actually, Li Zhi, like Lin Chiling, has zero acting skills.
Lin Zhiling entered the entertainment industry relying on his face, and his intelligence relied on his chest.
The role of Lu Jin’s personal female chef must be played by a beautiful woman, because she must create a sense of oppression over the heroine.
You can just pick any woman to play the role, and if the sense of oppression is gone, the plot will collapse.
It is easy to suppress the little yellow duck because she looks average.
It is difficult to suppress Qiu Shuzhen, Qiu Shuzhen is really good-looking.
Not many people can suppress her with just their face, now it’s time to rely on their chest.
Li Zhi stood there with a pair of suffocating big waves. Didn’t this feeling of oppression come?
...
Later, Yang Ye appointed Wu Dairong and Zhong Shuhui to play the second male and female lead in the movie.
These two people were a couple in the original time and space.
Ng Dairong is a Singaporean. He joined TVB in 1987 and became famous for his role as Hua Wuque in "The Two Proud Heroes".
Later, he went to ATV privately to promote his new album, but was banned by TVB, and his career plummeted.
Later, when I didn't have a job, I went to shoot third-level films.
Zhong Shuhui is a Malaysian. She participated in the "Miss Universe Selection" and won the Hong Kong championship, thus signing a contract with Wireless.
However, she did not develop well in TVB. Later, she entered the film industry, and in order to gain a position, she went to film Category III films.
Because of her very innocent appearance, she became famous in the photos, and she was called the "Four Queens" together with Li Lizhen, Shu Qi, and Ye Zimei, the third-level actresses.
Wu Dairong and Zhong Shuhui filmed Level 3 together, and they actually felt like it, and the two got married.
After getting married, the couple fell in love and filmed Level 3 movies together, and their relationship was extremely good.
Now both of them have joined Yang Ji and are filming dramas on ATV, which has nothing to do with TVB.
However, Yang Ji is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and has many fierce generals. Although they are in good conditions, they can only barely make it to the second line.
The second male lead in the original version of "Like You" was played by Lu Jin's assistant, Lu Ziqiao.
The second female lead Xu Zhaodi is the heroine Li Shengnan’s best friend, played by supermodel Xi Mengyao.
Yang Ye originally wanted Liming or Aaron Kwok to play his assistant, and then find another member of Girls' Generation to play Qiu Shuzhen's best friend.
Later I felt it was unnecessary and a waste of talent.
Then I thought of Wu Dairong and Zhong Shuhui.
It would be nice to let them show their faces, maybe they can be matchmakers for a while, which is a good thing!
...The director of "Like You" chose Chen Kexin, and he started busy with the preliminary preparations.
It was very satisfying to help Yang Ye film the movie, but also very unpleasant.
The cool thing is that he can mobilize all the top resources in the Hong Kong film industry.
Costumes, art, music, whatever, he just needs to say hello and no one dares to be vague.
The dissatisfaction is that he is just a tool man, and the movie reflects Yang Ye's will.
Chen Kexin is a director who is very pursuing and expressive.
Literary and artistic workers, whether they write novels, make music or make movies, basically have three goals: making money, becoming famous, and expressing themselves.
Among them, self-expression is often what they want to do most in their hearts.
The threshold for self-expression is both very low and very high.
Anyone can express it, but even dogs may not read what you express.
Therefore, smart creators will learn to compromise. I will make money to support myself first, accumulate experience in the process of making money, seize the opportunity to become famous, and finally realize self-expression.
For Chen Kexin, although he cannot take pictures of what he wants to take for the time being, it is his destiny to be Yang Ye's tool man.
......
"Slaying the Wolf" is being filmed, "Like You" is in preparation, and "The Voice of China" has finally started airing amid much anticipation.
Advertising promotion was already underway before the recording of "The Voice of China" began.
As soon as the lineup of the four great mentors, Yang Ye, Deng Lijun, Leslie Cheung and Lin Zixiang, was announced, they attracted countless attention.
Although it is broadcast in Mandarin, Star TV is launched in Hong Kong through ATV. On the day of the launch, there were still many Hong Kong viewers sitting in front of the TV, waiting to watch the program.
At eight o'clock in the evening, after a series of intensive advertisements, "The Voice of China" officially launched.
Up to the top is a 360-degree panoramic shot showing the live effect. The gorgeous and dazzling stage instantly dazzled countless audiences.
The voice-over shouted: "Let me give warm applause to invite Deng Lijun, Yang Ye, Lin Zixiang and Leslie Cheung."
The four major instructors made a shining appearance and performed the opening performance.
Ladies first, the three men gentlemanly asked Teresa Teng to sing first.
While waving to the audience, Teresa Teng sang: "In my heart, there was once a dream, to use singing to make you forget all the pain."
Lin Zixiang then sang: " Who is the real hero in the bright starry sky? Ordinary people move me the most."
Leslie Cheung sang: "There is no more hatred and no more pain. I hope there is love everywhere in the world."
Yang Ye finally sang: "Use our songs to change your sincere smile."
The four chorus: "I wish your life will be different from now on!"
"Grasp every moment in life. One minute, go all out for the dream in our hearts. How can we see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? No one can succeed easily.
Grasp every touch in life and embrace your beloved friends passionately. Words, and tears of joy, flow in my heart!"
The lyrics of "Real Hero" are inspirational and catchy, as if they were specially written for the contestants of The Voice.
Many people were infected by this song, and in an instant, they seemed to be full of fighting spirit!
Wu Dajiang’s symphony orchestra is a magnificent blend of Chinese and Western styles. With their blessing, the four instructors’ performances immediately took the lead.
After singing the song, many viewers in front of the TV felt that their ears were still buzzing, and they experienced what it felt like to have lingering sounds.
……
Taipei!
Jia Jingwen stroked her arm and exclaimed: "It sounds so good, I have goosebumps."
Jia's mother Lin Li said: "It's really nice to sing, but I've seen it on TV before. Their singing didn’t have such a shocking effect!”
Jia’s father said: “Did you see the symphony orchestra at the back? The screen cut to the side several times when they were singing, and they used such a large symphony orchestra to accompany them. Can the effect not be shocking?”
“So that’s the case, then why don’t we invite other programs?”
“It’s so expensive, how can Laosan TV be willing to spend this money?”
...
After the four instructors finished their performances, they each returned to their own exclusive seats.
At this time, the scene cut to the outfield, and a spirited young man with long hair, wearing torn jeans, and holding a guitar appeared on the TV.
This guy is Ren Xianqi, and he appears as the starting player.
There is another energetic young man beside him, an old wolf who lives in the same dormitory with him.
"My name is Ren Xianqi, and I come from Taiwan. I grew up in a military military village in Changhua, and came to Taipei to study in high school.
At that time, I fell in love with a girl from the school next door. In order to pursue her, I started to Learn guitar!
After I went to college, I formed my own band and participated in hundreds of campus concerts, traveling all over Taiwan.
I hope to be able to stand on a larger stage one day. On the stage, sing my song to the whole world!”
Ren Xianqi walked all the way into the studio, and his own recorded voiceover also completed his introduction.
Host Deborah came up to greet Ren Xianqi: "Hello, Xiao Qi."
"Hello, host teacher!"
"Who are you here with today?"
Ren Xian Qi pointed to Lao Lang beside him and introduced: "My brother and I, his name is Lao Lang, from Beijin."
"One of you is from Taipei and the other is from Beijing. How did you meet?"< br>
"He is also a contestant this time. We live in the same dormitory and we made an appointment to cheer each other up. When I came to compete, he accompanied me, and when he came to compete, I accompanied him!"
"Wow, a very touching brotherhood, I wish you success!"
Deborah said, handing the microphone to Ren Xianqi.
Ren Xianqi took the microphone and walked through the long Avenue of Stars to the entrance of the stage. Deborah reminded from behind: "Stand still and wait for the light curtain to open!"
Ren Xianqi stood still as he was told, and the colorful light curtain in front of him opened like a door curtain.
This dazzling scene gave the audience in front of the TV the feeling that a radiant superstar was about to be born.
Ren Xianqi passed through the light curtain and strode onto the center of the stage. A burst of warm cheers suddenly came from the audience.
Ren Xianqi first installed the microphone, then took off his shoes, threw them aside, and gave an OK gesture to the band.
As he plucked the strings, joyful music flowed out.
"La la la la... I want you to accompany me, watching the turtle swimming in the water, slowly crawling on the beach, counting the waves..."
A song called "The Waves Blossom" was sung by Ren Xianqi very happily. However, the song was not very difficult and could not showcase his singing skills. Therefore, although the four instructors shook their heads and listened happily, no one supported him. Turn around.
Ren Xianqi has traveled all over Taiwan and has rich performance experience. He is not impatient, integrates himself into the music, and still sings happily.
“Time flies by in a hurry, and I don’t look back. The beautiful woman turns into an old woman. Oh, at that time, I, I, I, too, am already a bad old man..."
The audience in the audience was so moved by his singing that they actually sang along.
Yang Ye, Chen Long, and Yuan Biao once formed the "Chinese Dragon Team" and released a dance-style album "Qi Mian Dance Party".
The song "Blowing Waves" was included in that album.
"Chinese Dragon Team" was just Yang Ye's work for fun. It was short-lived and ceased after only releasing one album.
But the songs in that album are catchy and popular, so many people can sing them.
"La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, let's hold hands together.
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la, Counting the waves!”
The whole audience waved their hands together and "la la la la..." along with Ren Xianqi
Even several instructors also cheered la la la....
The whole studio was filled with a happy atmosphere.
In front of the TV, Jia Jingwen was almost anxious to watch. When the program was officially broadcast, the rules were introduced. She knew that if the four instructors did not change, it would be doomed.
Seeing the four instructors cheering each other so happily, they seemed to have forgotten to turn around, and couldn't help but complain: "Stop la la la, hurry up and shoot!"
Deborah and Lao Lang stood outside, also very nervous.
The two of them waved their fists together and shouted: "Clap, clap!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Singing by Ren Xianqi At the last sentence, the four great instructors pressed the button together, and the four chairs turned around!
“Yeah!”
On and off the stage, outside the studio and in front of the TV, everyone was cheering! (End of this chapter)
