147 [Preparing for a new film](1/2)

After getting Zhou Run and Di Long, the starring actors of "The True Heroes" have already got two. Now only one of the three starring actors is left, followed by director Wu Yusen...?`

If necessary, Xia Tian would not be prepared to replace Wu Yusen. Although Wu Baige was not safe in his later years and received a lot of criticism, he was actually still one of the most talented directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Especially when shooting gunfight hero films, no director in Hong Kong can do as good as him. This title is not for nothing.

Moreover, although Wu Yusen's filming "The Whisperer" caused MGM Pictures to lose over $100 million, causing the film giant to go bankrupt. But in fact, Wu Yusen has also made many blockbuster movies in Hollywood, such as "Broken Arrow", "Face Change", "Mission Impossible 2", etc. In the future, he went to the Hollywood show and was counting on Wu Baige to help him shoot several blockbuster movies.

Besides, Wu Yusen is not difficult to find now. He is almost kicked out by Xinyi City. The box office of the movie "Laughter" he filmed last year was less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. It was quickly lost after seven days of release, which made Xinyi City lose all its face. It is said that if it weren't for Xu Kelibao, Wu Yusen would have been fired at that time.

Even so, his current situation is not good, he is just surviving. If Xia Tian extends an olive branch to him at this time, he will guarantee that he will agree without even thinking about it.

...

On the second day after the celebration banquet, Xia Tian wrote several scripts one after another. Two of them were for Hong Jingbao, namely "Zombie Resurrection" and "Pili Big Horn".

"Zombie Resurrection" is a follow-up film of "Mr. Zombie", which was invested and filmed by Taiwanese filmmakers in the previous life. The "zombie fever" caused by "Mr. Zombie" sold more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Taiwanese filmmakers who tasted the sweetness began a large-scale Hong Kong film craze. Almost every popular Hong Kong film was filmed by Taiwanese filmmakers.

This phenomenon of copycats has ultimately led to the exhaustion of innovation in Hong Kong films. Because copycats are always time-saving and labor-saving than innovation, but the benefits are not worse than innovation. Over time, people have followed the trend of copycats, so who is willing to innovate again!

Although the story of "The Resurrection of the Zombie" is not very exciting, it is still much more than ordinary brainless zombie films. If you shoot it carefully, it will not be difficult to get over 15 million yuan in the box office.

"Pili Big Speaker" is an urban action film starring Hong Jingbao, Zhang Xueyou and Wang Feixian. Although the story is a bit weaker, because Hong Jingbao is in charge and the music rookie Zhang Xueyou joins. In addition, the face of the beautiful Queen Xiaoxian makes the box office of this drama easily exceeding 15 million.

After writing two scripts for Hong Jingbao, Xia Tian wrote the scripts of "The True Color of Heroes", "The King of Kings" and "Detective Chocolate".

In "The True Color of Heroes", Xia Tian laid the foreshadowing in advance and added a line that revealed that Little Ma Ge is a twin and has a younger brother in the United States, so that it is used in future sequels...`

Because when "The True Heroes" was filmed in his previous life, no one expected it to be so popular, so Zhou Run was shot in the head at the end.

As a result, Zhou Run's little brother Ma was so outstanding that he annoyed that the giants in Xinyi City had died and even became a honeycomb, and he could not be saved no matter what.

So when the sequel was filmed later, he had to let Brother Ma appear again as his twin brother. However, this identity was too far-fetched and felt very inconsistent.

Now that I will write "The True Color of Heroes" in the summer, of course I have to fill this loophole.

As for the script of "The King of Kings", Xia Tian directly copied the first script of "The Royal Sister".

Because although "The King of War" in his previous life was nominally starring Hu Huizhong, she is actually just a supporting role. The real protagonist is Ng Junru. And that series of movies are actually just a farce, with the purpose of making several male and female stars under Weihe famous.

Xia Tian will certainly not write such scripts in order to make his woman famous. He directly borrowed Pan Disheng's "The Royal Sister" from Yang Ziqiong.

In that series of movies, Yang Ziqiong is the well-deserved heroine. It was her life-threatening performance that made her the most popular action actress in Hong Kong, with a pay of up to HK$3 million, and she is the highest-value female actress. With her wonderful performances, she successfully entered Hollywood and became an internationally renowned actress.

Xia Tian wants to praise Hu Huizhong now, so he naturally draws on her experience.

...

After writing the script, Xia Tian first gave Hong Jingbao two scripts, and then replaced Lin Zhengying.

"Ah Tian, ​​your two scripts are good, thank you." Hong Jingbao smiled and nodded after reading them. "Ah Ying will follow you from now on, take good care of him."

"Don't worry, Brother Hong, I will definitely not treat my brothers badly." Xia Tian nodded and smiled.

"That's the best." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, and then said to Lin Zhengying, "Aying. Go there and do well, don't lose face as our Hong family. Remember, if you are not used to it, come back at any time."

When Lin Zhengying saw Hong Jingbao say this, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

"Okay, don't be sad. We are all filming in Hong Kong, and we don't look up and see each other. It's not the ends of the world, one side is forever." Xia Tian advised with a smile.

"A Tian said something reasonable." Hong Jingbao and Lin Zhengying laughed again.

"By the way, Brother Hong, I'm going to shoot an action scene recently. Can I borrow someone?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.?.`

"You have calculated me, okay, who do you want?" Hong Jingbao said with a lot of laughter and cry.

"You lend me Brother Dan and use it." Xia Tian said with a smile.

Yuan Kui, known as Dan Ge, is one of the seven little blessed guys. Although he is now in the Hong family, he has actually become independent for a long time. In 81 years, he served as a director and filmed the blockbuster movie "Dragon Ninja" with Wu Siyuan, and even went to Hollywood monk Yundun to film "Blood Game".

Xia Tian knew that this was a capable man, martial arts director, director, and actor. He had directed many blockbuster movies, such as "The Gambler", "Fang Shiyu", "The Royal Female General", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", etc. He even collaborated with the well-known French director Luc Besson, "Extraordinary Human Trafficking", "Deadly Romeo", etc., and successfully made a name in Hollywood.

Xia Tian asked Yuankui to help film "The King of Kings".

The action film directed by Yuan Kui is top-notch. He collaborated with Li Lianjie back then and made many good films, such as "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", "Letter to Dad", "Directional Hard", etc. Xia Tian believes that he will definitely make good films when filming "The King of the Boys".

"Okay, but this time, don't borrow it like last time. Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, you can't turn back if you borrow it." Hong Jingbao smiled again.

He also knew that his junior brother Yuan Kui was a handsome man, and he was very useful. Even Lin Zhengying was not as good as him in this regard. Hong Jingbao lost Lin Zhengying and only lost one actor at most, and would not hurt his bones. But if Yuan Kui was dug up in Xia Tian, ​​it would be a major loss for him.

"Don't worry. Brother Hong, I will give you face and I will not take the initiative to poach." Xia Tian nodded and smiled in his heart, "If he takes the initiative to surrender, then I'm not polite."

Yuan Kui is so powerful that Xia Tian certainly covets three points of him and wants to earn him into his own world film industry.

...

After meeting Hong Jingbao, Xia Tian then came to Xu's Pictures Company.

Xu's Film Company's office is also located on Jiahe Studios because it was also founded by Jiahe.

When he saw Xu Guanwen, he was shocked by Xia Tian’s degree.

"Mr. Xia, have you finished the script in one night?" he asked in surprise. It was really enough.

Xia Tian smiled. If he knew that he had written five scripts, he would have been more surprised.

"Mr. Xu, let's take a look first. If you are satisfied, let's talk about cooperation." Xia Tian said with a smile.

Xu Guanwen nodded and looked at the script seriously.

"Detective Chocoli" tells the story of the Inspector Chocoli being ordered to find a missing child. At the same time, the sheriff handed over his beloved daughter to him to take care of and ensured that she would not suffer any damage. The sheriff's daughter is actually a little thirteen, and she is impulsive in doing things and is indifferent to the consequences.

So the Inspector and his new subordinate had a chore and made countless jokes, but in the end they found the child. Inspector Chocolate was also successfully promoted and had a happy ending.

What makes this drama unique is that it lacks the usual funny jokes of Xu's movies, and adds a strong mother-son family relationship. This makes the whole drama warm and touching, of course there are fewer jokes, which rely entirely on the actors' acting skills.

After reading it, Xu Guanwen nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Xu, I think this script is pretty good."

Seeing that he was satisfied, Xia Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Did Mr. Xu agree to appear?"

"Yeah." Xu Guanwen nodded, "I'm interested in acting in this drama."

Xia Tian smiled slightly. He knew it was time to negotiate the conditions.

Because Xu Guanwen won the annual box office championship for five years, he is also known as the "cold-faced laughter" and the "king of the comedy", so his salary is very high. The director and the starring actors will pay about HK$3 million, otherwise he will not be able to be invited at all.

"Mr. Xu, director and starring, the salary is three million, how about it?" he asked tentatively.

Xu Guanwen nodded, and there was no bargaining process. In fact, his current salary is very high. The starring and director are about 3.5 million yuan. If he were a producer, the salary would reach 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

In his previous life, Pan Disheng had just taken over Shaw Brothers Theater. In order to gain Debao's fame, he specially spent 15 million Hong Kong dollars and asked Xu Guanwen to help film three dramas. It can be seen that his value is so high.

However, Xu Guanwen really likes Xia Tian's script, especially the Inspector Chocolate who he wrote. Although he is mean and likes to harm others, he is very kind-hearted and is his favorite character.

"Then it's settled." Xia Tian saw that he nodded in agreement, and immediately smiled happily. (To be continued.)
