After the exclusive interview with Ye Jin by Oriental Daily was published, it immediately attracted the rush of people in Xiangjiang.

There are very few Hong Kong filmmakers who go to Hollywood to develop, and even fewer of them can make a name for themselves. So far, there are only two, one is Bruce Lee and the other is Ye Jin.

But Bruce Lee had already passed away before "The Dragon and the Tiger Fight" was released, so he did not leave much information. Ye Jin was still alive and his interview was first-hand information.

These materials can allow the people of Hong Kong to truly understand Hollywood. The perfect insurance system, a strong trade union system, professional filming methods, exquisite publicity and distribution... these have opened their eyes to the public.

It is like "Xiaoshu" produced by Gao Xiaosong in his previous life, which is fresh and interesting, and naturally attracts many readers to read it. Once, Luoyang paper is expensive.

"Oriental Daily" also increased its sales by more than 30,000 copies with Ye Jin's exclusive interview, which is equivalent to the sales of a medium-sized newspaper.

The interview fee of HK$500,000 can be said to be quite worth it.

This also made many media sigh. If I had known this, I would have increased my investment in this interview.

...

Just as Ye Jin's interview was cut into seven episodes and reported one after another, Ye Jin was also preparing his new work - "Fang Shiyu".

This movie is a work by Li Lianjie in 1993, written by Liu Zhenwei, directed by Yuan Kui, starring Li Jiaxin, Xiao Fangfang, Zhao Wenzhuo and others.

That year, it won the box office of HK$30 million in Hong Kong, ranking fifth in the annual box office rankings. Its Douban score was 7.8 points, which can be said to be both well-known and popular.

It tells the story of the naughty Fang Shiyu who was indulging by her mother Miao Cuihua, causing trouble all day long. One day she met the beautiful girl Lei Tingting and fell in love at first sight.

The Lei family competition was a marriage competition, and Fang Shiyu was curious to participate. Later, due to a misunderstanding, she had already won and admitted defeat. Later, Miao Cuihua was angry and pretended to be a woman to compete on the stage, but she had an entanglement with Lei Tingting's mother.

Fang Shiyu's father Fang De was named a merchant, but in fact he was the helm leader of the Red Flower Society. The nine-sect admiral Longkodo arrested the Red Flower Society, and Fang De was unfortunately arrested. Fang Shiyu went to the court to save his father and retired to the world with Lei Tingting and others.

This story is novel and interesting. Especially the funny interaction between Fang Shiyu and Miao Cuihua and her son, as well as the emotional entanglement between Miao Cuihua and Lei Tingting's mother Li Xiaohuan, are all memorable highlights, entertaining and interesting.

...

Ye Jin chose this script.

First, because this story is kung fu comedy, which is more in line with the tastes of the audience today; second, the heroine has enough scenes, which makes Lin Qingxia stand out. Unlike some kung fu films, the heroine's scenes are less than ten minutes long, which is simply in name only; third, Ye Jin wants to establish a peak work of kung fu films to ensure that he will not be replaced within two years.

The fight scenes of the movie "Fang Shiyu" are very exciting. Whether it is the ring to attract brides, the Wild Wild Flying in the sky, or the court to save the father, the design is very innovative. Yuan Kui and Yuande also won the Best Action Design Award of that year.

Ye Jin hopes to bring out this new action design, which will open the audience's eyes and attract them to the theater to watch; second, it will establish his position as the first kung fu superstar in Xiangjiang, and not overwhelm such rising stars such as Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, and Cheng Long; third, it will set a benchmark for a kung fu film and promote the development of kung fu films.

It has been nearly two years since the birth of the Hokkien Kung Fu film in 1974.

At the beginning, there was only Ye Jin's family, so he was able to stand out and lead the crowd, and his box office far exceeded that of his peers. While other stars were still working hard to exceed one million box office, Ye Jin's movies were already sprinting for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

But now, in addition to Ye Jin, Xiangjiang also has newcomers such as Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, Jackie Chan, Xiao's Liu Jiahui, Fu Sheng, and Wang Yu.

Although there is still a gap between Ye Jin, the gap is no longer so great. Therefore, if Ye Jin wants to not lose the throne of the first kung fu superstar in Hong Kong while developing in Hollywood, he must come up with some unique skills.

And his unique skill is a more advanced action design style - multi-lens shooting and quick editing.

This design can speed up the rhythm of the action, like a storm, which is dazzling. It not only highlights the intensity of the fight, but also creates a tense atmosphere, thus bringing the audience an unparalleled visual stimulation.

This technique was pioneered by Xu Ke in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", and was later imitated by Xiangjiang filmmakers one after another, becoming a good show for Xiangjiang martial arts coaches.

...

However, there is a problem that needs to be solved for the filming of "Fang Shiyu", that is, the actor's problem.

The version of "Fang Shiyu" in his previous life is so exciting, but in fact, the biggest contributor is not Li Lianjie.

He played Fang Shiyu just in a normal way. Although the fight was wonderful, the literary drama was very average. He played the naughty boy and was not outstanding, especially when he and Li Jiaxin had almost no sense of CP.

In comparison, Xiao Fangfang, the actor who plays Miao Cuihua, is the finishing touch. Her performance is mellow and natural, without any pretentiousness. She laughs, scolds, and plays with ghosts and horses, all become articles.

Although Li Jiaxin is a great beauty, she was only twenty-three years old when she was filming this movie, which was in her prime. However, compared with Xiao Fangfang, who was 46 years old and in her destiny, she was not outstanding at all. She was simply a piece of wood.

It can be said that if the actor who played [Miao Cuihua] was not Xiao Fangfang, the evaluation of "Fang Shiyu" would not have been so high.

But now, Xiao Fangfang is only twenty-eight years old. He dare not say that he is in his prime, at least he is in a great age. He is still a long way from being a [mother].

Celebrities, both men and women, do not like to act like parents. Because that means they are old and the elderly have no market in the entertainment industry and can only stand aside, so everyone minds.

Xu Ke remade "The Legend of Shushan" that year and asked Zhang Bozhi to play Li Yingqi. After she put on makeup, she looked a little like Lin Qingxia. Lin Qingxia once played the owner of the fairy castle in the 83rd version of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman". Therefore, Xu Ke hoped to invite Lin Qingxia to come out and play the mother and daughter with Zhang Bozhi in "The Legend of Shushan".

At that time, Bozhi Zhang was twenty-one and Lin Qingxia was forty-seven. It was actually quite appropriate to play mother and daughter. But when Lin Qingxia heard that she was playing mother, she turned a frown with Xu Ke.

So no matter how old the stars are, they don’t like to act like their parents.

Xiao Fangfang is 28 years old this year. In other movies, he still plays a young girl. Now he suddenly lets him play his mother and a son as big as Ye Jin... Ye Jin probably won't want to.

But if she didn't act, Ye Jin couldn't pick a suitable one for a while. So he was going to give it a try. If Xiao Fangfang was willing to act, it would be okay to pay more.
