Albums from The Voice students are being released one after another.
One good song after another began to hit the charts on major radio stations.
These songs were created by Yang Ji’s frantic spending and inviting excellent producers from across the Taiwan Strait, four places, and even Japan and South Korea.
As soon as it was released, it immediately created a chart-topping effect. The songs with the highest on-demand rates on major radio stations were all from the group The Voice.
Singers who released records at the same time as them were in a miserable situation. They were miserably suppressed by the Voice group, and even the album sales of some famous singers were not satisfactory.
Now, the album of The Voice champion Wang Fei hasn’t been released yet!
On Yang Ye's side, Lao Lang's "Lian Lian Feng Chen" was released simultaneously in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
Except for Hong Kong, where sales were average due to language issues, sales in several other markets exploded.
Through operation, Yang Ye put Lao Lang on CCTV's "Revolving Stage". Lao Lang, wearing white clothes, long hair, and a guitar, sat there and sang, which immediately aroused strong repercussions in the society, making " The album sales of "Lian Lian Feng Chen" exceeded one million copies.
In Taiwan, "Lian Lian Feng Chen" also sold 200,000 copies.
The album "Love in a Lifetime" by another student of Yang Ye, Liu Xiaohui, also sold quadruple platinum sales in Hong Kong.
This album is in the old Hong Kong music mode, with a lot of disco music, which is not a bad thing.
Nowadays, the Bay Area is developing rapidly and has strong consumption power. This album is also very popular in Guangdong and Guangxi.
However, Yang Ji's abilities don't stop there.
Xia Meng, the general manager of Baiyang Pictures, has basically taken a back seat, and Xu Feng is taking care of daily affairs.
Xu Feng is Taiwanese, and she also likes to participate in some literary films.
So, a lesbian movie called "Double Bracelets" fell into her hands, with Liu Xiaohui and Chen Derong as the heroines, and Liu Xiaohui was chosen as the theme song of the movie.
There is not much to say about this movie except that Liu Xiaohui and Chen Derong are so beautiful.
But the theme song "It seems like an old friend is coming" is really a classic. The lyrics and music are integrated into one, and it is the best among gods!
It was originally sung by Anita Mui, because this movie was originally invested by Run Run Shaw.
Now, since the movie is in the hands of Xu Feng, there is nothing to worry about Anita Mui.
Xu Feng recently went to the mainland to pursue Brother Kai Zi as the director of "Farewell My Concubine".
After watching "The King of Children", Xu Feng thought that Brother Kaizi was so awesome and he had to be the one to play "Farewell My Concubine".
Many people say that "Farewell My Concubine" was directed by Brother Kaizi's father, which is nonsense.
His father has never made any decent movies in his life. How could he be buried in the grave? Suddenly, like a god, he made "Farewell My Concubine".
For the truth about this matter, you can read what Lu Wei said in his memoir "Secrets of Film Screenwriters".
Lu Wei is the screenwriter of films such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Alive", and "Tuya's Marriage".
It is very clear in the book that the role of Brother Kaizi’s father in this matter was: he persuaded Brother Kaizi to accept the script, gave up the request to modify the script, and temporarily put it away
If you watch Kaizi's previous films "Farewell My Concubine", you will find that they are really like a painting or a poem.
Lu Wei said in the book that when "Farewell My Concubine" is poetic, such as the part where the children are practicing singing, Brother Kaizi will be in awe. There are many things that directors cannot see, but Brother Kaizi is particularly sensitive.
However, Brother Kaizi does not understand the structure of feature films and has not been trained in this area.
Lu Wei believes that the problem with Brother Kaizi's films that have repeatedly failed is that they "forcibly talk about sorrow in order to compose new lyrics", which is pretentious and false.
Forgot that even a movie as gorgeous as "Farewell My Concubine" has its shocking power from the most authentic human nature of the people in the market.
Truth has great power!
Lu Wei also said that Brother Kaizi became complacent after "Farewell My Concubine" and that his creative state was completely different before and after.
Before that, Brother Kaizi was very passionate and his judgment was very sharp. After that, he was more meticulously calculated and conceited, but the aura of character left him.
Of course, this is just Lu Wei’s family opinion. Lu Wei is suspected of belittling Brother Kaizi and taking all the credit for himself.
Actually, Brother Kaizi himself responded to this question.
Crosstalk actor Gangzi once interviewed Kaizi on a show, drank a glass of wine and spoke the truth.
Brother Kaizi said: Just this time, I said everything I wanted to say, just like pouring beans through a bamboo tube. I will never have such an opportunity again.
The reason why "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive" are great is because they both talk about a common theme, the suffering history of a nation, and they explain it clearly.
Both of these films had not been censored at the time. "Farewell My Concubine" used connections and was released. "Alive" was not released.
These two movies are an expression of true love between Brother Kaizi and Lao Mouzi, and they will be put away in the future.
For their generation, historical suffering is the deepest mark.
Their youth and their thinking are the most profound in this field.
Only in this field can their self-expression rise to the level of art.
Actually, Brother Kaizi also made many good movies after "The Promise".
For example, half of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", half of "The Orphan of Zhao", and half of "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
Especially "The Legend of the Demon Cat", the first half is simply amazing, it makes people dumbfounded and can't figure out how to end it later.
Only when I saw it later did I realize, Damn it, Brother Kaizi can’t finish it off himself!
This guy probably has premature ejaculation. He always stops halfway through the process.
Yang Ye touched his chin and thought: "I can't let Chen Hong suffer this kind of crime!"
......
Shanghai, Songjiang!
Spielberg is leading the crew to film "Memoirs of a Geisha" step by step. In this movie, the three main heroines Sayuri, Hatsumomo, and Mamiha are played by Akina Nakamori, Keiko Matsubata, and Lin Qingxia respectively.
Lin Qingxia plays Nakamori Akina's mentor, while Matsuzaka Keiko plays Nakamori Akina's opponent.
The most beautiful woman in Japan in the 1980s is technically a Korean because her father is Korean. Although she lives in Japan, she has never changed her nationality.
In addition to the three heroines, if there is a male protagonist in this movie, it is the president.
The President only appears four times in the entire film, but he is a key figure. He changed Sayuri's life.
United Artists and Spielberg both hope that Yang Ye can play this role specifically.
Because this is an Asian-themed movie, if it wants to sell box office in Europe and the United States, it must have famous stars.
Lin Qingxia is very famous in Europe and the United States with the "Terminator" series, but it is not enough.
If you add poplar leaves, it will be stable.
After Yang Ye thought about it for a while, he felt that if he found a Japanese actor, it would be better to do it himself.
Anyway, there were only four scenes, so it wouldn’t waste much time, so I agreed.
Although it is a guest appearance this time, I finally don’t have to die.
……
Spielberg spent five months building a geisha area with a full Japanese flavor in Matsue.
When the movie is finished, this place will definitely become a popular tourist attraction for Shanghainese, and you can also make a lot of money.
When Yang Ye walked into this small town with cherry blossoms in full bloom, he had to admire Laosi's generosity. This guy can really do anything.
In order to make a movie, a small town was actually built.
Fortunately, the filming location was chosen in China. If it were done in Los Angeles or Kyoto, the cost would be too scary.
“These cherry blossoms were transplanted with the help of the Shanghai government, and we didn’t spend a penny.” Spielberg said proudly.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Steven, you are really eye-opening!"
After Yang Ye praised her a few times, he saw a Japanese girl wearing a geisha uniform, moving quickly with small steps, wearing a heavy cherry blossom dress, appearing in front of Yang Ye.
Nakamori Akina showed a bright smile and said happily: "Onii-chan, you are here!"
"Akina, you are so beautiful like this!"
"Really?" Nakamori Akina turned around in a circle, blooming her beauty in front of Yang Ye, like a butterfly flying among the cherry blossoms.
“I asked Japanese experts to customize this according to Japanese geisha costumes!”
"Steven, you are very professional. This will definitely be a great movie."
After a few people complimented each other, Yang Ye began to change clothes and put on makeup. He is very busy and needs to hurry up!
While Yang Ye was putting on makeup, Akina Nakamori sat aside and chatted with him about filming.
Yang Ye learned that Lin Qingxia had finished filming her scene and left, and asked casually: "Is the actor of Little Chiyoko here?"
Sayuri is a stage name, and her real name is Chiyoko.
In the movie, a young actor is needed to play Chiyoko in her childhood.
Yang Ye thought that he would play against Chiyoko later, so he asked.
Nakamori Akina said: "Yeah, she's very cute!"
"Can you bring her to meet me? I'll get to know her first, and we'll know how to play, etc. It’ll be nice to take a photo soon.”
“You’re still thoughtful, I’ll go find her!” Nakamori Akina said and turned around to leave.
Yang Ye looked at the mirror and thought, the little girl who will come later will not be a future Japanese star, right?
To be honest, this probability is not low. Because a large part of those who want to take the acting route in the future have been trained since childhood.
If Spielberg selects people on a large scale, given his reputation, many families will send their daughters to try their luck, and there is a real chance of being selected.
Not long after, Akina Nakamori appeared in front of Yang Ye with a little girl, and Yang Ye was really surprised.
“Chinese?”
Akina Nakamori said in surprise: "Hey, she didn't say anything, how do you know she is Chinese?"
Yang Ye said: "The temperaments of Chinese and Japanese are somewhat different, and you can tell at a glance. However, Why choose a Chinese child? "
Nakamori Akina said: "To save trouble, the director auditioned actors in Shanghai. She was outstanding and she was selected from thousands of children. Anyway, this is a movie. It’s an English movie, so she can speak English!”
Yang Ye nodded: “That makes sense. My kid, you look so cute. What’s your name?”
The little girl was not afraid of strangers at all and said openly: "Hello, Uncle Yang, my name is Tang Yan! My parents like you very much!"
"Hello, little Tang Yan. Do you like me?"
"Of course I do too!"
"Then we will film together later, you have to cooperate well!"< br>
“I can do it, I’ve memorized all the lines!”
“Awesome! So smart!” (End of this chapter)
