Li Lianjie is really good at acting.
When he played the hero, he looked upright and had a graceful demeanor.
When he plays the killer, his face is full of violence and murderous intent.
In the scene of the massacre on the court, he clearly used traditional kung fu, but the upright and dignified master demeanor of the past was all gone.
When violent killings occur, they are extremely cruel and bloody, making people shudder, but they also have a thrilling beauty, which perfectly explains what "aesthetics of violence" is.
Since it was a Kung Fu movie, many professionals came to the scene.
A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door.
When Donnie Yen and Jet Li had a street fight, the audience was stunned by their crazy fighting style.
But in the eyes of industry insiders, they see Yang Ye’s uniqueness in martial arts design.
Before this, there were basically only two modes of Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong. One was a martial arts routine that used tricks and tricks, and the other was to add comedy elements to the action.
Even though Yang Ye later integrated "Qing Kung" into action films, and it was widely used in Hong Kong Kung Fu films and accepted by the world, he still couldn't escape from these two models.
Even though Yang Ye later made a punchy, ferocious and violent action movie like "The Fighter", it was still essentially the same routine as seen in Hong Kong movies.
After "Boxing Fighter", Yang Ye seemed to have given up on breakthroughs in action, and instead sought to broaden the boundaries of subject matter.
He went to the Soviet Union to film the sniper movie "At the Gate".
Go to the mainland to shoot the red classic "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" in 007 mode.
Use the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" model to shoot the Chinese adventure treasure-hunting movie "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon".
I filmed the "God of Gamblers" series, which does not rely on action to win.
He also acted in a comedy film "Diary of a Man" as if for fun, and even starred in a love movie "Lover".
Of course, two sequel movies "The Invincibles of the East" and "Terminator 2" were also filmed, pushing martial arts movies and science fiction movies to new heights.
However, no matter how many movies he has made over the years, how many things he has done, how much box office he has harvested, and how many achievements he has made, he has always been stagnant in innovating action movies.
Since Yang Ye is an extremely eye-catching filmmaker in the world of cinema, research on him has never stopped from all over the world.
Speaking of Yang Ye's contribution to action films, in "Shaolin Temple", he showed traditional martial arts, but began to use Wire innovatively.
In "Fist of Heroes", more than a dozen problems have been solved.
In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Swordsman", the use of wires reached its peak.
In "Kowloon Walled City" and "Boxing Fighter", the concept of "Qing Gong" is played to perfection.
In recent years, the most common perception of Yang Ye in the industry is that he has reached a bottleneck, so he can only seek breakthroughs in subject matter.
After "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and "Search for the Dragon" came out, many people clearly realized that Yang Ye was learning from Hollywood.
Although these two movies have successfully adapted Hollywood movie routines and produced their own characteristics.
Now, when the movie "Slaying the Wolf" was released, although Yang Ye did not star in it, people in the industry instantly realized that Yang Ye had come up with something new.
The first is the design of the martial arts scenes. In this movie, whether it is a unilateral killing or an evenly matched confrontation, the scene will be limited to a narrow space and try to avoid a one-to-many situation. , which undoubtedly provides new ideas for martial arts design.
Then in the fighting style, MMA is integrated into the fighting style. In the movie, Donnie Yen, Hong Jingbao, and Jet Li are all decathletes and proficient in various fighting skills.
Especially the final BOSS battle between Donnie Yen and Hong Jingbao, which combines all kinds of martial arts from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, is exciting and hearty.
In the street fight between Donnie Yen and Li Lianjie, some miss moves were designed, which were naturally inspired by the game.
However, video games have not evolved to this point at this time. Future video games can only be inspired by Yang Ye's movies.
People of this era are still very fond of action movies. Such creative and exciting action movies have the audience constantly applauding and applauding loudly.
Finally, when the final showdown between Ma Jun and Wang Bao ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Bao, who had pretended to die, suddenly attacked and pushed Ma Jun downstairs, which shocked many people.
It has always been good versus evil, so why did the villain kill the protagonist?
Chen Guozhong is left hanging. How can he beat Wang Bao?
However, the next second, Ma Jun fell from the building and hit a car, killing Wang Bao's wife and child.
The interlocking ending of karma and retribution makes many people feel that they are not satisfied yet, but they have endless aftertaste.
In the end, Chen Guozhong took his goddaughter to the original seaside.
He looked at his daughter playing happily at the beach, thinking of Ma Jun and his brothers.
His cancer struck and he slowly collapsed on the beach.
......
"Yang Ye strongly praises his disciples, and "Slaying the Wolf" has set off a new trend of action movies!"
The next day, all the major media in Hong Kong were full of praise for "Slaying the Wolf". What followed was another round of box office frenzy, and the summer championship was confirmed.
Although Yang Ye doesn’t take it seriously with a box office of tens of millions, as a benchmark for port sales, Hong Kong’s box office is still quite meaningful.
While finishing "Slaying the Wolf", "Like You" was officially launched.
The key to this movie is not only to make the love sweet, but also to make the food attractive.
People in this generation don’t know much about how to photograph delicious food in an attractive way.
In 1985, the Japanese filmed a documentary about Chinese food, "Chinese Food Culture."
I photographed a lot of high-end delicacies, such as hibiscus agar-agar, honey-glazed squid, unicorn seabass, braised bear paws...
Although this documentary was highly rated in terms of amusing, in the future, From a worldly perspective, these delicacies all look slimy and unappetizing.
Yang Ye once helped Lindt and Sprüngli shoot a chocolate advertisement, borrowing the shooting method of later generations. The silky effect produced greatly increased the sales of Lindt and Sprüngli.
Before "A Bite of China" used high-speed cameras to shoot food, there were almost no food films in China that looked delicious.
Li Bian's "Eating Men and Women" may be the only exception. The scene where Lang Xiong cooks at the beginning of the movie really makes people want to eat.
But others have followed Xu Ke's evil path, which is to use the method of filming martial arts movies to shoot food and juggle while cooking, which is called gaudy.
When cutting vegetables, one can move smoothly, with hands like the wind, and superb knife skills. However, the last part of serving the dishes is hard to describe.
In fact, when you watch the food videos of later generations, for example, when the masters of state banquets such as Lao Fanguli and the second uncle cut vegetables, they all cut them slowly and squarely. How can there be movies? , So exaggerated in the TV series?
Although Yang Ye is just making a love movie to make up the numbers, he still wants to come up with something new.
Therefore, the focus of this movie is not how the male and female protagonists fall in love, but how the food in the movie should be displayed.
In this regard, Chen Kexin as a director and Zhong Zhiwen as a photographer have no experience, so Yang Ye can only teach in person.
How to add a diffuser to soften the light, reduce shadows, and reduce highlights to obtain the best shooting results.
How to highlight food through the combination of various props and colors.
Various ideas and methods emerge one after another, which makes everyone admire them.
Even the chef specially hired by the crew to cook the food also lamented that he had benefited a lot.
The chef can make the food taste good, delicious, but in terms of color and tableware matching, Yang Ye makes him shine.
In this regard, Yang Ye explained modestly: “When I was shooting an advertisement for Lindt, I was thinking about how to make it look more delicious and attractive based on the food itself. The methods were all tested at that time. "
......
There is a scene about instant noodles in the police station in "Like You", which is quite out of the ordinary. In order to strengthen this scene, Yang Ye asked Zhou Xingchi to make a guest appearance. Zhou Xingchi and Chen Long only made guest appearances once in their lives, because the two crews happened to be together at the time.
But now, when Yang Ye asked him to make a cameo, he didn't complain at all. Instead, he thought about it carefully because of the two minutes of the scene, hoping that his performance would be perfect.
"You can't put the seasoning packet... cook the noodles first, watch the time... cover it... ok, that's it, pour out the water, put it all in, stir, hurry up, yes, stir... pour Hot water, 80% full, it's ready... not yet..."
Yang Ye stared at the time and finally put his hand down: "It's ready!"
Zhou Xingchi ate it doubtfully. After one bite, I was immediately shocked: "It's delicious!"
"Ka! I passed this one! Brother Xing, it was quite hard!" Chen Kexin shouted.
Yang Ye also gave a thumbs up: "Xingzi, you did a good job!"
Zhou Xing shook his head and said, "I didn't act!"
"Huh? ”
“It’s really delicious to make instant noodles this way! Sir, how did you come up with the idea? ”
"Really?" Yang Ye was stunned now. He had never tried it before.
“Huh? Haven’t you tried it?”
“I made it up!”
“Then you are so awesome, you can make it up It’s so delicious. This is how I will eat instant noodles from now on.”
Yang Yexin said, who said Zhou Xingchi can’t be a good person? This flattery makes me so happy.
...
The filming of "Like You" was not very fast, because it involved a lot of food shooting, and you had to study angles, lighting, etc.
It is not like ordinary romance movies that just film the plot and end it.
But this is a movie with a female protagonist, and Yang Ye’s role was completed in less than a month.
While he was rehearsing the performance of the Battle of Champions with four students, the Beijing Asian Games was about to open.
Star TV purchased the broadcast rights for the Asian Games and sent a large number of people north.
And Yang Ye will also go to Beijing at this time because he will sing the Asian Games theme song "Hand in Hand" at the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.
Last year, when the Asian Committee invited Yang Ye to sing the theme song at the Asian Games, Yang Ye considered that the song would not be powerful enough to be sung by one person, so he proposed that mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao each provide a singer. , singing together.
This idea of showing that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family in four places is simply too creative for the mainland. After a meeting to study it, they quickly agreed.
The four singers finally confirmed are Cai Guoqing from mainland China, Yang Ye from Hong Kong, Teresa Teng from Taiwan, and Jenny Tseng from Macau.
……
September, the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.
Cai Guoqing, Yang Ye, Deng Lijun and Zhen Ni took the stage together and sang the Asian Games theme song "Hand in Hand" in both Chinese and English.
"We will travel around the world hand in hand, and we will create a beautiful home together!"
The warm and loving lyrics reflect the common aspirations of mankind for peace.
At this time, mankind is still shrouded in the clouds of the Cold War and does not know where the world will go.
Countless spectators at the scene were moved by the singing, with tears in their eyes, and sang along loudly.
There were many classic scenes at the 1990 Asian Games, such as Yang Liping's peacock dance, thousands of people singing "Asian Heroes", etc.
The "Hand in Hand" sung by singers from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan presented another classic to this Asian Games.
After the success of this Asian Games, "Hand in Hand" was also spread throughout Asia, and then spread from Asia to all over the world.
Due to the overwhelming publicity, the Asian Committee finally decided to designate "Hand in Hand" as the permanent anthem of the Asian Games.
Since then, Yang Ye has permanently left his name in the Asian Games.
Every four years from now on, his name will be mentioned once at the Asian Games, and it will be impossible for the Asian people to forget him.
……
After returning from the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, Yang Ye’s team’s championship battle officially began.
This version of "The Voice of China" does not use the original space-time competition system where instructors and media jointly scored.
That kind of competition system is very stupid. For example, in the tutor's scoring session, he will divide 100 points between the two students according to his own wishes.
The instructor definitely has a preference for the students, but you can't show it nakedly on the show. Doesn't this make the instructor scolded?
Then he invited a bunch of media and asked them to hold up signs and score points. Yang Ye felt that this was not very reliable. These uncles were very difficult to serve.
Based on some routines from later generations, Yang Ye chose the "five hundred public judges" scoring mechanism in "I Am a Singer".
In the championship battle, the mentor can only give suggestions and leave the choice to the public review.
Of course, these public judges are not just cats and dogs picked from the street.
They are all people who have been screened and assessed and have certain musical aesthetic abilities.
And in order to offset the regional preferences of Hong Kong audiences, a group of spectators were specially invited from Taipei for the four championship battles to charter flights to Hong Kong to watch the games live.
However, there is still a loophole, that is, students from mainland China, Singapore and Malaysia will suffer more, but this is already the best method.
Prior to this, the champions of the other three teams had been decided.
In the championship battle of Teresa Teng’s team, Tai Zhengxiao and Kitty Chan were defeated one after another, and Lin Zhixuan finally lost to Ren Xianqi.
In fact, in terms of singing skills, Lin Zhixuan was better, but his popularity with the audience was not as good as that of Ren Xianqi, and he was eventually eliminated by the audience.
It is a miracle that Zhang Guorong and Zhang Weijian entered the semi-finals. Chen Xiaocun's rap style was not popular enough and he was eliminated.
Finally came the duel between Xu Meijing and Wang Fei, two heavenly voices.
Faye Wong is older than Xu Meijing, and she was sent to the United States by Yang Ye to study at that time, and she gained a lot of knowledge.
Her ability to understand music is not comparable to that of Xu Meijing now.
In the end, Wang Fei won a big victory and became the biggest dark horse of this year's The Voice.
Lin Zixiang’s team, Gu Juji’s good looks, outstanding singing skills, and fighting locally. The other three are no match, so he came out on top and became the champion of Lin Zixiang’s team.
Now it is the turn of Yang Ye team, which is also very popular. The media made a wave of predictions early.
Among the four students, Lao Lang, Yang Yuying, Su Huilun, and Liu Xiaohui, Lao Lang was the least favored. Although he sang well, his appearance was average, and no one thought he could win.
Even though Lao Lang is one of the six fourth-turn singers, four turns may not necessarily lead to the last laugh. Wang Fei of Zhang Guorong’s team only had two turns and still won the championship.
The three beauties, Yang Yuying, Liu Xiaohui, and Su Huilun, are all sweet girls with excellent looks and skills. They are very popular. I think the champion will be born from the three of them.
Given that Yang Yuying does not have home court advantage, the champion of Team Yang Ye will be either Liu Xiaohui or Su Huilun. (End of this chapter)
