Chapter 91: Come on, let's fall together
To be honest, from the very beginning, Yi Feiyang never intended to make friends with a "trash" like Henry the elephant. However, as their conversation deepened, Yi Feiyang found that this "trash" or so-called "human waste" wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
Then Yi Fei Yang also understood the purpose of Henry the elephant looking for him to take pictures... just to let people remember him after he died!
The purpose is very simple!
It's also worth considering for oneself, especially with the three conditions one has proposed, particularly to those eight major cinema chains of top companies, which are absolutely very tempting.
Yi Feiyang accepted Henry's invitation and both sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
However, wanting to make a pornographic film into a classic is extremely difficult. Because many people's attention will involuntarily focus on the "porn" and ignore the "love" behind it.
To be honest, Yi Feiyang didn't have too much confidence in this type of movie, which is why he pulled in Rabbit Bill, who had experience in the field.
Yi Feiyang let Bunny Bill be the deputy director for the following reasons.
Firstly, Bill the Rabbit himself is a model among underground filmmakers... a model for making low-budget films. With him as a guiding light, one can avoid many detours when making their own films.
Secondly, Bunny Bill is more familiar with the tastes of American audiences, unlike himself, who studied almost all "elegant butterflies" in his previous life. It's a different kind, and the taste is different.
Finally, although Yi Feiyang likes to act alone and can be overbearing at times, when it comes to areas he's not good at, he still believes in brainstorming and that many people gathering firewood will make a high flame.
Alas, it's just shooting an erotic film, not a big deal. One only needs to look up to the great "Erotic Pope" Tinto Brass, whose Caligula is a masterpiece in the genre!
Yi Feiyang secretly made up his mind.
Of course. Taking on a film like this was still decided by Yi Feiyang alone, without even asking for the opinion of Tuzi Bill, and it's not clear if he would be willing to accept this "old profession".
So, after some deliberation, Yi Feiyang generously set up a banquet near the Tangren Street Dream Film Company and invited Rabbit Bill to come "talk".
Let's talk about Rabbit Bill. Today, I witnessed the power of Old Ye, single-handedly... oh no, with his own unique Dragon Pool and Tiger Den, he even took down that arrogant and limitless Wild Bull Billy!
Oh God, at that moment Bunny Bill seemed to have seen Eastwood in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"!
Heartless!
So stylish!
Pointing a gun at the enemy's head: "Do you say my marksmanship is accurate or not?"
Then, bang! A gunshot.
"Sorry! I missed, and hit your thigh instead!"
……
"Wow, this process is so cool! Too exciting!"
Rabbit Bill even thought that if Old Yee had blown the gun muzzle with a bit more disdain at the time, it might have been even more explosive!
After going through this matter, Bunny Bill believed that if he were a woman, he would definitely fall in love with him and die to sleep with him!
Just as Rabbit Bill was daydreaming, he suddenly received a call from Yi Feiyang.
On the phone, Yi Feiyang said in a very gentle and amiable tone: "I'll treat you to dinner."
In an instant, Bunny Bill was thrilled, won't be, Old Ye invited me to dinner?!
What does it mean?
It seems I didn't make any contributions today. When I saw those bad guys, I just trembled with fear.
But Bunny Bill was delighted again, because being invited to dinner by Old Master Yi alone is absolutely an honorable thing.
Fat Jack, photographer Cindy, makeup artist Mickey, lighting engineer Charlie and others. But none of them have this glory.
So, Bunny Bill almost flew there with the speed of wind and directly arrived at Yifei Yang's treat.
This Chinatown restaurant isn't very big, but it's cozy. Especially being able to sit down and eat with his beloved Easy, Rabbit Bill thinks that's better than anything else.
The food was simple, a serving of cha siu bao, a serving of har gow, and two plates of traditional Chinese dim sum. The wine was rice wine, fragrant and pungent.
Rabbit Bill used to eat hamburgers and fried chicken legs, although he also had some Chinese pastries, but they were not very authentic, those were just some unscrupulous shop owners who made them carelessly to cheat foreigners.
Now having eaten the authentic one, Bunny Bill gives a thumbs up and cheers continuously.
Bugs Bunny eats happily, Yi Fei Yang is also delighted.
Just after finishing eating, taking a small sip of rice wine, Yi Feiyang said: "Actually, I invited you to dinner today because there's something I want to discuss with you..."
"Oh, dear old chap, what's on your mind? Go ahead and say it!" said Bunny Bill, wiping his mouth.
Yi Feiyang adjusted his words and thought about how to start speaking so that Rabbit Bill would patiently accept it.
After all, a director who has shot adult films is like a prostitute who has fallen into the pit, it's not easy to "turn over a new leaf"; Bunny Bill was finally salvaged by himself, and now he's going to push him back into the "fire pit" with his own hands, it's really unbearable!
Bracket, although this time shooting is erotic film, rather than pornographic film!
Yi Feiyang held his wine cup and didn't say a word, staring at himself with an expression that seemed somewhat off.
Rabbit Bill felt a little hollow inside and thought, could this be the "Hongmen Banquet" of their Chinese legend?
I heard that tyrant or whatever, almost got killed by this ghost banquet... But I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Was it just because I saw him shoot and kill someone?
Won't be, Yi Lao Da Hui is so narrow-minded?
Oh God, I hope I'm wrong!
Finally, Yi Feiyang spoke up, "Bill, if I let you and me together shoot a pornographic film for toP company, would you be willing?"
"Huh?!" Bunny Bill let out a sudden belch.
"I know it may be difficult for you to understand, but I hope you can see things from my perspective, I have my reasons..." Yì Fēi Yáng pondered on how to explain himself.
Before Yifeng had time to make his excuses, he saw Rabbit Bill suddenly excitedly shouting: "Great, boss! We've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Huh?!" This time it was Yì Fēi Yáng who let out a belch.
Unexpected, it's really too unexpected!
I originally thought Bill would be shocked, sad, and furious... but I never expected him to be so excited!
Yi Feiyang began to doubt his own judgment.
Look at Bunny Bill rubbing his fists, "I've always wanted to get back up where I fell. Yes, get back up with dignity! Especially let those guys who make that kind of movie see, I'm Bunny Bill, not a vegetarian! I can shoot horror movies and even better at shooting porn! Say, boss, how are you going to do it? Have the male and female actors been chosen? Is there a more exciting story? I believe in you. As long as you're willing to take action, this movie will make every man's penis explode!"
It seems like... someone else has said this before.
Yi Feiyang began to feel that this rabbit and that elephant seemed to have a real affinity.
They're all scoundrels!
"Cough cough, Bill, maybe you misunderstood; what I'm going to shoot is not a pornographic film, but an erotic film!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Whether it's a romantic film or a pornographic film, I have high hopes for you! To be honest, boss, I was really worried about you during this time. Those idiots said that your movie scared people to death and that you were internally condemned, so you were preparing to quit the film industry. But now that I see you still have such great fighting spirit, and directly transition from a horror movie to a pornographic film with a 180-degree huge contrast, it makes me believe that your fighting spirit not only hasn't disappeared, but is even more vigorous! Only someone who is vigorous can make good pornographic films, right?" Bunny Bill spat out stars.
It's easy to get angry and speechless.
"Cough cough, I want to correct you again, what I'm preparing to shoot is an erotic film, not a pornographic film!"
"Uh, is there a difference between these two?"
"Of course there is a difference, and it's huge! Have you read the German historian Eduard Fuchs' 'The History of Erotic Art'?"
Bunny Bill shook his head.
"Have you read the famous Italian erotic literature author Milo Manara's "The Ape", "El Gaucho", and "Click"?
Bunny Bill shook his head again.
"So, you don't even have the qualifications to question whether eroticism is equal to pornography! Remember, they are two different concepts!"
Yi Feiyang's serious words left Rabbit Bill no choice but to stick out his tongue.
"Alright, stop fooling around, I'm only asking you, are you willing to go help that big elephant Henry?"
"Huh, boss, you don't have to deceive me. That elephant Henry probably took a liking to you, and then you dragged me into this mess, didn't you?" said Rabbit Bill with rare cleverness.
Yi Feiyang shrugged: "You're right, that's how it is. So I'll give you a chance to think about it. If you're willing, I'll introduce you to be an assistant director. If not, no big deal, you can still stay at Dream Illusion Film..."
"No need to consider it, I'm willing!" said Bunny Bill succinctly.
"Huh?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be surprised.
"To be honest, boss, I know my own weight as a director. If it weren't for your help, that film 'Horror Cruise' wouldn't have been successful at all. And to be frank, I'm not very capable and being a director would only make things difficult for me. On the other hand, following you around as an assistant director, especially in the type of erotic films I'm familiar with, is something I still have confidence in! Yes, that's what I think, boss. Do you think I lack ambition?"
Yi Feiyang smiled, "No, I think you're very cute. At least, you've clearly recognized your own shortcomings, and in the future, you'll make great progress!"
Rabbit Bill was taken aback, "Really? You won't blame me or look down on me?"
"Nonsense!" Yì Fēi Yáng patted his shoulder, "The path is the one you chose yourselves, I've said it before, I'll only give you a clear direction!"
"Big brother..."
"Huh?"
"I'm so touched! Waaahhh!"
"Don't cry, a real man bleeds but doesn't shed tears!"
"No, I didn't cry, I just borrowed your clothes to wipe my nose!"
“……?!!”
"Get out!"
Someone was kicked away with one foot.
