Yang Ye kicked the sword and was so handsome that he was criticized and shocked the whole audience.
And he was the boss, so everyone suddenly burst into rainbow farts and praised Yang Ye to the fullest.
But the most useful thing about Yang Ye is the adoration from his daughter.
The Great Wall is very important in the minds of the Chinese people, and it goes well with Chinese martial arts.
When many brands in later generations ask kung fu stars to endorse them, they like to have them stand on the Great Wall and perform a set of kung fu.
Yang Ye followed this routine against time and space, and became the first to do it, and he also played the most handsome kick. I don't know how many people will pay tribute to him in future generations.
After filming the movie and commercial, a group of people descended the Great Wall and returned to the city.
Yang Ye wanted to take Yang Xi to eat roast duck, so he called everyone on the way.
The extras also had a good time and were very happy.
In the private room, Yang Xi watched Master Pianya juggling with great interest.
But Zhou Xingchi said to Yang Ye: "Boss, I have a friend who wants to treat you to a meal."
Yang Ye asked: "Which friend?"
Zhou Xingchi said: "Your Majesty Luo Zhaohui from Jue Group."
Yang Ye was stunned and said, "I actually asked you to come here. Well, when I return to Hong Kong, you can ask him to make an appointment with my secretary."
"Thank you, boss!" Zhou Xingchi was very happy.
Zhou Xingchi has a good relationship with Luo Zhaohui, because after he got rich, he was keen on real estate speculation, and Luo Zhaohui was a wizard in this area.
How dangerous is Luo Zhaohui?
In its heyday, as long as he speculated on any building, Hong Kong citizens would speculate along with him, and then the property prices would rise rapidly. It was an unprecedented event.
Luo Zhaohui not only taught Zhou Xingchi how to speculate in real estate, but he also spent money like water. He often invited Zhou Xingchi to spend time and wine, and the two even played with the same woman.
This time Luo Zhaohui wanted to invite Yang Ye, but no one else could, but Zhou Xingchi did it with just one sentence.
This makes Zhou Xingchi feel that Beier has face. When he returns to Hong Kong, he can naturally show his face in front of Luo Zhaohui.
However, Zhou Xingchi would not have thought that Luo Zhaohui, a mad dog, would make crazy revelations about celebrities' privacy after falling into decline. Even he was not spared, and several intimate photos with women were exposed.
......
Yang Ye stayed in the capital, making advertisements himself while taking time to take Yang Xi on a trip.
At this time, director Xie Jin suddenly came to visit. Yang Ye respected the old man very much and went downstairs to greet him personally.
After chatting for a while, Xie Jin expressed his intention to come. It turned out that Shanghai's bid to host the "Shanghai International Film Festival" had been approved by the state in June this year and is now in the preparation stage.
Director Xie Jin was appointed as the chairman of the jury of the first Shanghai Film Festival. He knew that Yang Ye was in Beijing, so he paid a visit, hoping that Yang Ye could bring his film to the exhibition.
The Shanghai International Film Festival has a film trading market. Yang Ye is the darling of film dealers around the world. Once he can bring a film to the exhibition, it will surely make the Shanghai Film Festival a great success and become an instant hit.
Of course Yang Ye would not refuse this kind of cooperation that would benefit both parties. He thought for a while and asked: "When will the Shanghai Film Festival be held?"
Xie Jin said: "We The plan is to hold it in July next year.”
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "July is too late. It happens to be stuck in the summer season, which is not conducive to the promotion of award-winning films. It would be better if it could be advanced to early June."
For future generations The Shanghai Film Festival is usually held in June. For example, "Scorching Sun" won an award in June and was released in August, with a box office of 300 million.
Xie Jin thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Yang Ye said again: "In that case, I will take "Kung Fu" there next year Come participate in the exhibition! ”
“Kung Fu” is a movie shot in Shanghai, so it is perfect to participate in the Shanghai International Film Festival.
Xie Jin was overjoyed and said: "I heard that this "Kung Fu" is your autobiographical film?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "It may have something to do with my life experience, but it is not documentary. The content is actually quite exaggerated.”
Xie Jin said happily: “Then I’ll wait and see.”
Yang Ye asked again: “Has the International Film Producers Association been invited to attend?”
“Yes, our China Film Association has officially joined the International Film Producers Association this year, and their current secretary-general Richard Drew has made it clear that he will attend and inspect the Shanghai Film Festival in accordance with international standards. ”
Yang Ye snorted and said, "Does the Shanghai Film Festival want to become an international Class A film festival?"
"That's right!"
"That's right, China doesn't have a Class A film festival yet. . ”
There are thousands of film festivals around the world, but there are only more than fifty international film festivals recognized by the International Film Producers Association.
These international film festivals are divided into four types: A, B, C and D according to their functions.
ABCD is not a grade. It does not mean that type A is more advanced than type B, it is just a different type.
Category A is a competitive comprehensive film festival, while Category B is a competitive specialized film festival.
For example, the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea is an international B-type film festival, which focuses on directors' debut and second films.
Category C is non-competitive, and category D only reviews documentaries and short films.
……
After Yang Ye and Xie Jin confirmed that they would bring "Kung Fu" to the Shanghai exhibition next year, they found Shirley Lansing, who was visiting the capital, and asked her to help take Yang Xi back to Los Angeles while he went to Italy to attend the Venice Film Festival.
Three major film festivals in Europe, the Berlin Film Festival has the deepest relationship with Chinese films. The Cannes Film Festival is the most famous and the most spectacular. But when it comes to being good for Chinese films, the Venice Film Festival has to be mentioned.
Except for the Yang Ye bug, Chinese films from The Original Time and Space have won a total of six Golden Lion Awards, not counting the two English films by Li Bian and Zhao Ting.
The organizers of the Venice Film Festival attach great importance to the participation of Chinese films and often invite Chinese films to participate in the exhibition.
But I don’t know if Venice is too generous with its awards. Major Chinese directors don’t like to go to Venice, and they all focus on competing in Cannes, but Cannes refuses to award awards to these great directors.
Venice likes to stick to the cold butt of Chinese movies, while Chinese movies like to stick to the cold butt of Cannes. This horse is really... confident in being favored.
Among the international filmmakers coming to Venice this year, Yang Ye and Coppola are the most famous.
But Coppola was here to receive an award, and Venice was going to give him a Lifetime Achievement Award, so the old guy was very relaxed and just thought he was here for a vacation. Yang Ye came to serve as the chairman of the jury. As soon as he arrived in Venice, he held a press conference and then began to participate in a series of activities. He also had to review films and award awards. He was very busy.
When the film festival officially opened, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li also arrived in Venice.
On the Baiyang Pictures side, Shi Nansheng, the general manager of the distribution company, also came to Venice with movies such as "Once Upon a Time in China: Once Upon a Time in China" and "Police Story 3: Super Cop".
Since Yang Ye is the chairman of the jury, he must show off his image as a movie tycoon.
Not only Poplar Pictures, but also United Artists Pictures and some partners have brought their own blockbuster films to Venice to participate in transactions in the film market.
Heavyweight kung fu movies like "Once Upon a Time" and "Police Story" are the targets of film producers from all over the world. Film producers are also happy to give Yang Ye face and come to Venice to buy films.
Coupled with the movie fans who came specifically because Yang Ye appeared in Venice, the small water city was bustling for a while, and the hotel was packed.
The economic benefits brought by this made the local government grin from ear to ear, wishing that Yang Ye could also become the chairman of the jury next year.
After work, Yang Ye took some time to eat with Gong Li and stroll around Shuicheng.
After Gong Li and Yang Ye got together, Zhang Yimou had nothing to do with them. The two could only be colleagues.
Italian food and Chinese food are inexplicably similar, and the two of them felt very comfortable eating.
After dinner, the two rented a gondola, sat on it, and went to the Phoenix Opera House to watch an opera.
Gondola is a local means of transportation. The bow and stern of the boat are tilted upward, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
The boatman who rows the oar is very good at sailing. He turns left and right in the city and passes various stone bridges from time to time.
Gong Li sat on a soft leather cushion, looked at the boat with interest, and said, "I think this boat is a bit like the boats on the Suzhou River."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Just think of this as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River."
Gong Li looked at both sides of the river, with various houses standing on the riverside, ancient bridges across the water, and boats of all sizes. All moored at the pier.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that there was some inexplicable similarity, so I couldn't help but smile: "It's really similar!"
Yang Ye said seriously: "We are now in Lu Town, sitting on brother Xun's awning boat to watch a social opera. "
Gong Li couldn't help laughing when she saw Yang Ye referring to going to the opera as going to a social opera: "Watching a social opera, hahaha!"
She raised her head and looked at one end. Huang Mao, "Brother Xun" who was rocking the oar, wanted to laugh even more, lying on Yang Ye's body, laughing so hard that his branches were trembling.
“Brother Xun, hahaha!”
"Okay, okay! It's just a joke. Brother Xun is here as a young master, so he doesn't know how to rock the oar."
"Then who is this person rocking the oar?"
"Probably Runtu!"
"Hahaha!"
The two were having fun all the way, and soon they arrived at the opera house. Today they are performing "Turandot", which is about a The story of a Chinese princess.
They actually had no interest in going to the opera, they just came to Venice to join in the fun.
It's like Brother Xun went back to his grandmother's house and went to watch a social opera.
Brother Xun didn’t know what he saw, but in retrospect, it looked good!
It was already very late after watching the opera. A large group of audience members walked out of the theater, got on their gondolas and left, just like taking a taxi in a land city.
The small boats clustered together quickly dispersed and disappeared into the curved river. There was a sound of laughter and farewell in the distance. The water surface gradually became silent, and only the shadow of the moon was seen swaying in the water.
Yang Ye looked at Gong Li's beautiful figure under the moonlight, remembered something, and said: "By the way, I have prepared some gifts for you. You and Mouzi will bring the gifts and visit the judges to give them gifts."
Gong Li was stunned: "Giving gifts?"
Yang Ye said matter-of-factly: "Of course. If you want to win an award, you have to give gifts."
"This... foreigners also Are you interested in this?" Gong Li found it unbelievable. These days, China has a strong filter on Europe and the United States.
“We are all human, how different can it be? Especially Italy, which is actually closer to us in China.
For example, they are both ancient civilizations with long histories and splendid cultures. The Han Dynasty and Rome complement each other.
Both are good at cooking. They are extremely proud of their national cuisine and their cooking techniques are also very similar. There is also a place to live. Look here, it looks like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Italians and Chinese people both value tradition, family and etiquette, and they will also give gifts when looking for people to do things, to find connections and so on..."
This is the first time Gong Li has heard this. The statement felt very novel: “So that’s it? "
Yang Ye nodded: "Your movie is very good, but if you want to win an award, it's better to be more humane and sophisticated, which is safer." ”
"This... is not good!" Gong Li still felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't feel embarrassed. If you don't give it away, others will give it away, and then nothing will happen to you."
Yang Ye is not talking nonsense. In 1994, Wen Juan and Jiang Wen brought I went to Venice to participate in an exhibition with "It's Sunny" and witnessed with my own eyes Tsai Ming-liang and Wong Kar-wai bringing gifts to the film festival chairman to have a relationship.
Wen Juan and Jiang Wen were still new and didn’t understand anything. Upon seeing this, they quickly asked the two seniors for advice, and they suddenly understood.
That year, Chinese films were showing off in Venice, with Tsai Ming-liang's "Long Live Love" winning the Golden Lion.
Xia Yu became the youngest Venice Best Actor in history with "Sunny Day".
As for Wong Kar-wai's "Ashes of Time", foreigners can't understand it at all, and it also won an Othala Gold Medal.
Yang Ye said this, Gong Li was right, and said: "Okay, let's go tomorrow."
Yang Ye said earnestly: "It's enough for these judges to just think about it. In the end, The most important thing is the chairman of the jury, he has the decision-making power."
Gong Li stared wide-eyed and said, "Aren't you the chairman of the jury?"
Yang Ye said matter-of-factly: "So, you have to bribe me well!"
"Okay!" Gong Li was amused by Yang Ye's serious look and wanted to laugh, and asked seriously: "Then , how to bribe?"
Yang Ye leaned into Gong Li's ear and whispered: "Sexual bribery!" (End of this chapter)
