Star TV's advertising revenue mainly comes from Taiwan.
I couldn’t land in Taiwan and I was always a little dissociated.
Although it is like this now, relying on selling antennas for promotion, the market share is also good.
But satellite TV stations are so profitable, and it won’t be long before a bunch of people join this track.
The competition has just begun.
"Kill one first and then talk about it!"
Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong, and Cha Xiaoxin came over to report to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye asked her: "How is the investigation of Yu Pinhai's news?"
Zha Xiaoxin handed a piece of information to Yang Ye and said: "It turns out that person is really He had committed a crime. While studying in Canada, he was sentenced to two years in prison for 7 charges including theft, counterfeiting of checks, illegal use of other people’s credit cards, and possession of firearms.”
Ye took the information, glanced at it casually, put it away, and said: "You are doing a good job at "Red Weekly", keep up the good work!"
Cha Xiaoxin smiled; "I am just taking advantage of your power, which is cheating. This result is not worth mentioning."
Cha Xiaoxin was always good at building relationships, but now with Yang Ye's support , which enabled her to obtain a lot of first-hand information, and the "Red Weekly" she founded was naturally very prosperous.
The first entertainment magazine in Hong Kong was Jin Yong's "Ming Pao Weekly". As Hong Kong's entertainment industry entered its heyday, entertainment magazines specializing in reporting entertainment information and celebrity gossip also became popular.
Fei Li's "One Weekly", Ni Zhen's "YES", Ma Jia's "East Weekly", and "Fresh Weekly" and "Sudden Weekly" are among the best.
However, these magazines are now all suppressed by "Red Weekly".
"Red Weekly" has inside information, and its content is mainly all kinds of exclusive information. For example, when Yang Ye was filming "Kung Fu" in Shanghai, "Red Weekly" could release all kinds of interesting tidbits from the filming scene, and sales naturally exploded.
There are also various celebrity interviews. In Hong Kong, Cha Xiaoxin can interview whoever she wants. It is simply cheating. There is no way other magazines can outshine her.
Although Fei Li founded "One Weekly", in fact, he did not form Hong Kong's first professional paparazzi until 1995, and it was born accidentally.
That day, in the office of "One Weekly", the staff received a call and was told that Wang Zuxian was in the office building of Lin Jianyue, the married and rumored boyfriend.
The honest staff member was about to call Wang Zuxian’s agent to confirm, but the supervisor on the side said: “Go directly to the site and have a look.”
Unexpectedly, when I went there, I easily photographed Wang Zuxian walking out of Lin Jianyue's office building.
This photo became the cover of that issue of "One Weekly". It was sold out on the day of publication and sparked discussion throughout Hong Kong.
After becoming famous in one battle, Fei Li established Hong Kong's first paparazzi, and there was no lower limit for Hong Kong's entertainment magazines.
Of course, although there are no professional paparazzi now, those entertainment reporters are quite annoying. They make all kinds of stories out of thin air and do a lot of things to attract attention by breaking scandals about celebrities.
There are also articles written to maliciously instigate the relationship between celebrities. Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong were originally a pair of good sisters, but they were so instigated that they broke up with each other.
It took several years for the two to shake hands and make peace through the mediation of Leslie Cheung, but the relationship could not return to the past.
What was even more outrageous was Ni Zhen. Because Liu Ximing said he admired Zhou Huimin, Ni Zhen gave him the nickname "Poisonous Ming" and he was blacklisted for three years.
Liu Ximing bent down to tie his shoelaces, while Ni Zhenhei peeked under the girl's skirt.
Liu Ximing went to the bar, and Ni Zhenhei went to find the lady.
Took Liu Ximing to the dirty street and almost committed suicide.
...
The car stopped in front of a house, and Yang Ye got out of the car with Yu Pinhai's incriminating information.
Walking into the yard, there were birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the scenery was pleasant. A short-haired beauty with short hair was watering the flowers there.
As soon as the beautiful woman saw Yang Ye, she shouted with a smile: "Little uncle, why are you here!"
She was not much younger than Yang Ye, so she asked her uncle to take her with her. It's meant to be a bit of a joke.
Yang Ye asked in surprise: "Wenyi, when did you come back?"
This beauty is Xia Meng's eldest daughter Lin Wenyi. Xia Meng and Lin Baocheng have two daughters and one son. Xia Meng's character She keeps a low profile, and her children rarely participate in public events or accept media interviews. Outsiders do not know much about her family status.
Lin Wenyi graduated from Stanford University in the United States with a PhD in psychology. She smiled and said: "I will come back to accompany my mother."
Lin Wenyi said and walked into the house with Yang Ye .
"Brother, why are you here."
Yang Ye sighed: "You are really connected as mother and daughter. Just now Wen Yi asked me why I came here, and you asked me the same question."
Xia Meng smiled slightly: "You are so busy, and you suddenly came to see me, Of course there is something important.”
“It’s not really important, but I think it’s better for you to handle it.”
Yang Ye said, taking out the bag. Yu Pinhai's dirty information was handed over to Xia Meng.
Xia Meng read it over and was very surprised: "I heard that Jin Yong has considered him as his successor, but I didn't expect that he has actually done these things."
Yang Ye said: "You give these to Jin Yong, and I won't show up."
...
Jin Yong was very sad.
He treated Yu Pinhai like a nephew, trusted him very much, and was ready to pass on his mantle to him.
Yu Pinhai had no money to buy "Ming Pao", so Jin Yong lent him money. It is not an exaggeration to say that it cost him his heart and soul.
Who would have known that this guy turned out to be a big liar, playing the trick of killing pigs and trying to get rid of the family.
In China, under the guise of caring for the health of the elderly, there are many groups that go to rural areas to provide free medical treatment and blood pressure measurements for the elderly.
After defrauding the trust of the elderly, he tricked them into buying various health products and drained their coffin funds.
Yu Pinhai deceived Jin Yong, just like those drug sellers defrauding old men and women in rural areas.
Yang Ye engaged in Yu Pinhai not only for the sake of "Ming Pao", but also to kill a competitor in advance.
Historically, after Yu Pinhai took over Jin Yong's mantle, he transformed into a Hong Kong media tycoon, and then founded a satellite TV station "Xianxun TV".
Chuangxun TV has two channels, Zhongtian and Dadi. Later, Taiwan's top variety shows "Kangxi Is Coming" and "College Students Are Gone" all came from here.
......
"Myth" was released in the Christmas season of 1991. No other Hong Kong film company had a blockbuster to compete with it at the same time.
They took a different approach and released a bunch of Category III films.
Ye Zimei's "Jade Futon: A Guide to Secret Love", and Ye Yuqing's "I'm Crazy for You" and so on.
The box office of these third-level films was naturally inferior to Yang Ye's super blockbusters, and they were defeated one after another.
Hong Kong media shouted that Yang Ye fought against Ye Zimei and Ye Yuqing, one against two, and the two women were defeated steadily.
Ye Yuqing said sweetly during the interview: "Sir Yang is so powerful, how can I be his opponent!"
Yang Ye threw down the newspaper and complained: "Mom Yes, what breaking news!”
Yang Ye is busy with the rough cut of "Kung Fu".
After he finalized the shots of the entire movie, Ziqi Company completed the post-production special effects accordingly.
The special effects of "Kung Fu" are much more complex and sophisticated than those of the previous films "The Secret of the Dragon" and "The Myth". Yang Ye gave a post-production period of one and a half years to ensure perfection.
During this period, Yang Ye could not be idle. He immediately started shooting another movie.
"Boss, Director Wu is here!"
"Invite him in!"
Wu Yusen walked into Yang Ye's office, and Yang Ye said: "John, I heard Lao Xu say, you Want to pursue a career in Hollywood?”
John Woo shook his head: “I haven’t decided yet!”
In recent years, John Woo’s gangster movies have caused niche carnivals in North America, and his violent aesthetics have also been popular. It has won the favor of many Hollywood directors.
Now a Hollywood film company has extended an olive branch to him, hoping that he can go to Hollywood to make movies.
"Which company invited you?"
"Universal!"
Universal has been acquired by Panasonic, and now three of the eight major Hollywood companies are in the hands of Asians.
Relatively speaking, the Japanese understand John Woo's abilities better, so they invited him to film in Hollywood.
However, Yang Ye is the boss of United Artists Pictures. If John Woo went to Hollywood, choosing Universal instead of United Artists would be a bit far-fetched, so he was hesitant.
"If you want to break into Hollywood, help me make a movie, and you can also get familiar with the environment in Hollywood."
"Okay, what movie?"
""Terminator 3"!"
Movies such as "Jurassic Park" and "Terminator 3" require a lot of energy. Yang Ye has no time to spend on them, so they all He gave up directing himself and chose to find someone else.
"Ah, is the third part about to be filmed?"
"I have wanted to film it for a long time. I have to wait for Xiao Wu Jing to grow up. He is already eighteen years old this year, so this project can be started ."
Wu Yusen was a little excited: "I have always wanted to know how the subsequent story will develop after defeating the T1000 and destroying the chip."
"It's still the same routine, sending a more advanced one. The Terminator T-X came back and continued to hunt Yang Han, while humans sent a more advanced Terminator T850 to protect Yang Han again. "
"So that's it!" Wu Yusen felt that there was nothing new. .
Yang Ye can't do anything about this. The second part of "Terminator" is the pinnacle, but the subsequent ones are just bad money.
Even if Cameron returns and writes and produces "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" himself, it will still be bad money.
The "Terminator" series succeeds with T1000 and loses with T1000. The setting of the liquid robot is so amazing that no matter how I try it later, I can't come up with anything new.
Yang Ye said: "This time it is an upgraded version. There is nothing new in the story. It just increases the dosage and uses bigger scenes to win the audience's attention."
"Okay!" Despite this, John Woo is still very interested in this movie.
The production scale of "Terminator 2" was US$70 million, which was once the most expensive movie in the world. And "Terminator 3" will increase the dose.
Being able to handle such a big project, John Woo simply couldn’t refuse.
Although he understands that Yang Ye has the final say in this movie.
“What kind of model is this T-X?”
“In this setting, T-X is a female robot. She not only has a liquid appearance, but also has a metal endoskeleton. .
She is also equipped with various powerful weapons such as plasma cannons, pulse rifles, and flamethrowers.
The most important thing is that she also has the function of interconnecting everything. ”
Wu Yusen in the front can still understand that it is nothing more than adding a metal skeleton in the liquid form, which is more resistant than the T1000.
The purpose of equipping various powerful weapons is to make up for the attack power of the T1000 Insufficient problem.
But John Woo doesn’t understand what it means.
Yang Ye explained: "In the future world I set, people, data, and various things will be combined and closely connected using the Internet.
People will transmit various knowledge to the Internet, Anywhere in the world, people can receive this knowledge by turning on their computers
People can freely read, study, work, communicate, shop, listen to music, watch movies, play games, and do whatever they want on the Internet. Just do whatever you want.”
Wu Yusen was stunned by Yang Ye’s imagination. He felt that Yang Ye was talking about a myth.
"Will there ever be... such a day?"
You know, in this era, although the Internet already exists, it is all invested and constructed by government departments.
Restricted to research departments, schools and government departments, commercial activities are not allowed.
"Then who knows, science fiction movies are all about using your imagination for the future!" Yang Ye was noncommittal.
"Terminator 3" was released in 2003, and the Internet had already been established. T-X can control the network, which is not a very strange setting.
However, if "Terminator 3" had been released in 1993, ten years earlier, it would have definitely been a masterpiece.
John Woo was so impressed by Yang Ye's imagination.
“This setting is so amazing!” John Woo agreed.
"So, are you willing to be the director of this movie?"
"It's my honor, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
"This is the script , you take it and study it, I will give you four months to prepare, and it will start filming in Los Angeles in April.”
Yang Ye handed the script to him and said: "When you go to the United States, bring Wu Jing with you. Then Angelina Jolie, the little actress in "Terminator 2", you bring her back. I need her." She continues to star. "
Johnny Woo cannot touch Yang Ye's script casually. Yang Ye's scripts have always been famous for their rigor and are second to none in the Hong Kong film industry.
Many of Yang Ye’s disciples are now learning from him and first come up with a complete script before starting to shoot a movie.
Without moving the script, four months of preparation time is enough.
Because once Yang Ye's film project is approved, top-notch resources can be mobilized, and there will be no problem of funding.
Moreover, Ziqi Company has already prepared some necessary props for "Terminator 3" in advance.
Wu Yusen readily agreed and asked: "Is there anyone suitable for the role of T-X?"
"I would like to find a black actress to play it."
"A black person ?”
“Yes, because black people’s body proportions are better than those of other races. As a female robot, they will look cleaner.”
John Woo did not comment on this. Anyway, this movie has Yang Ye, and the other characters are just green leaves.
Whether T-X is played by a black person or a white person, it has little impact.
"You go find a black girl named Halle Berry. She was the 'Miss America' selected by the Miss America beauty pageant. I think she is very suitable for this role!" (End of Chapter)
