169 [Working Emperor]
After attending the opening ceremony of Tongxin Cinema, Hong Jingbao was always thinking about this issue.
Why can a young man who has just debuted for half a year in Xia Tian be able to build a country and become an equal figure with Zou Daheng? But he has been in the industry for so long, and has the ability, connections, and famous, but he still works for others now?!
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out a one, two, and three. In fact, he had a vague answer in his mind, but he would rather pretend to be confused and stupid than solve this mystery.
"Okay, Ah Tian, don't say it anymore, I understand what you mean. But Mr. He, Mr. Zou has the kindness of knowing me, so I will not leave Jiahe." Hong Jingbao shook his head firmly and said.
When Xia Tian heard him say this, he couldn't help but respect him as a kind-hearted and righteous man! However, he did not agree with his stupid and loyal approach.
Now it is a commercial society, not a feudal society, and the kind of loyal ministers and filial sons is no longer applicable. If you think you are a loyal minister, loyal and do not seek rewards, people will just think you are a fool and an old ox, and you will be killed.
Hong Jingbao has made many blockbuster films for Jiahe over the years, which is much more than Cheng Long. However, based on the returns, he doesn’t even have half of Cheng Long’s net worth.
"Brother Hong, I understand what you mean, I will not persuade you anymore." Xia Tian nodded. The forced melon is not sweet, and there is no good result. "I just want to remind you again that loyalty is nothing wrong, but you can't be foolish. After all, you and Jiahe are cooperative relationships, and brothers must settle the score clearly, otherwise you will suffer."
"You are in your peak period now. You have to be as windy as rainy as rainy. Jiahe also treats you as the God of Wealth and will meet all your requests. But when the tide is always rising and falling, the great director Zhang Che was so arrogant back then, so what now? If you don't think about yourself, you should also consider your family. People make so much money, so they can't afford it for ten lifetimes. If you shoot so many movies, you can't make much money in the end. How can you explain to your children and grandchildren?" Xia Tian said again.
Hong Jingbao was even more popular than Cheng Long at his peak. His Baohe Film Company provided half of the film source of Jiahe Theater. Moreover, his films are also very popular in Taiwan, Nanyang, Japan, South Korea, and even Europe, and the United States.
But Cheng Long finally accumulated billions of dollars, had real estate all over the world, and flew around the world by private plane. His son's mansion in Beijing was worth tens of millions, and he released a record. Even music master Li Zongsheng came to help. The movies were made one after another, not to mention the acting skills and box office, at least the popularity has increased.
Although Hong Jingbao is also rich, he is far inferior to Cheng Long. Not to mention his three sons, he is still a young actor, star, and singer on the TV station. He has some wealth instead of relying on Hong Jingbao. His three sons are probably already in decline.
After hearing this, Hong Jingbao felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He has three sons and one daughter, and he will rely on his support in the future, but he doesn't have much money.
Cheng Long had only one son, but he had more money than himself.
"Do I really need to think about it for my family?" He couldn't help thinking.
He has always put the company first. Although He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai are suspected of fooling him, he did not take it seriously.
Back then, He Guanchang didn’t give him thousands of dollars in household income every month, but his family might have starved to death, so he never cared about these gains and losses and felt that repaying kindness was the most important thing.
But now after hearing Xia Tian's words, he couldn't help but be a little shaken.
"I have made so many blockbuster movies for you. No matter how great the kindness I have, it should be worth it." He suddenly thought in his heart.
"Brother Hong, I won't say much extra words. You should think about it carefully." Seeing that he was thinking, Xia Tian knew that he had listened to it, he stopped persuading him and gave him more time to think it through himself.
"When you change your mind, when you come, the door here is open for you at any time." Xia Tian said then.
"Okay, thank you, Ah God!" Hong Jingbao nodded solemnly, feeling very moved. With Xia Tian's words, he felt that this friend was not in vain.
"Okay, then I'll leave first, Brother Hong. The script will be sent to you tomorrow." Xia Tian said then.
"Don't worry, whenever you have time, you will be delivered." Hong Jingbao waved his hand, and then reminded Xia Tian, "Brother Dan and Zhengying will ask you in the future, you must treat them well."
"Don't worry! If I treat my brothers badly, I will let the Hong family brothers beat him to death without any complaints." Xia Tian said solemnly.
...
Leaving the crew of "Dragon Heart" and returning home in summer.
My younger sister took the exam and was back.
"Brother, you are back." Xia Xue greeted with a smile.
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded, took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, and then opened it and poured two mouthfuls.
The heart was cold and the heart was flying, which made him feel comfortable in a cold war.
"Ah, it's cool!" Xia Tian said with satisfaction.
"Hate! Why don't you ask me how good I did in math?" Xia Xue angrily threw a pillow, and her little mouth was so pouted that she could even hang an oil bottle.
"I don't want to put pressure on you," Xia Tian explained, "Okay, how are you doing in math?"
"Very good, I think I can get an A!" Xia Xue smiled happily, "There are many questions above that I have done before, and I am really lucky this time."
"So amazing! I really want to congratulate you." Xia Tian smiled, "But don't be complacent, keep working hard."
"Yeah." Xia Xue nodded, "By the way, Sister Xian seems to have something to look for you."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xia Tian quickly stood up and said.
"I forget my true feelings when I see my beauty. If I have a girlfriend, I don't want my sister." Xia Xue said flatteringly again.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Okay, you can read the book carefully. I'll go over and take a look first. When I take you out for dinner, I'll just treat it as a plea. OK?"
"This is almost the same." Xia Xue nodded and smiled.
...
Xia Tian then went to the next door, "Auntie!"
"A Tian, you are here." Mother Wang smiled and greeted, "Xiaoxian, come out quickly, A Tian is here."
"Oh." Wang Qixian agreed crisply and walked out of the bedroom.
Although she only wore homely clothes and did not wear makeup specifically, she was still unparalleled in beauty and youthfulness, which made Xia Tian stunned.
Seeing this, Mother Wang couldn't help but feel a little proud.
The most proudest thing in her life was to have such a beautiful daughter.
"A Tian, sit and eat fruit." Mother Wang smiled.
"Oh." Xia Tian smiled, "I heard from my little sister that I have something to do with me. What's the matter?" He took a few lychees and asked while peeling them.
"That's right. Director Xu Ke wants to invite me to film. I want to ask you for your opinion." Wang Qixian introduced.
"Is there something wrong? Why don't I know? Who did you hear?" Xia Tian handed the peeled lychee to Wang Qixian and said.
Wang Qixian happily took the lychee and ate it into his mouth. It felt sweeter than peeled by himself. It was always sweet to the heart.
Mother Wang was secretly watching from the side, and she couldn't help but feel very happy when she saw Xia Tian and her daughter so lovingly.
It is rare to see a good man like Xia Tian who is young, handsome, rich and powerful. It is really a blessing for his daughter to follow him for eight lifetimes.
"Oh, I hope A Tian will not be fascinated by the fox Meizi and will wholeheartedly treat our Xiaoxian." She said in her heart.
"It was Shaw Brothers who told me. Director Xu Ke didn't know if I was no longer at Shaw Brothers, or was it an invitation to Shaw Brothers." Wang Shixian explained.
"So that's the case. No wonder I didn't hear the news." Xia Tian nodded suddenly. In fact, it's not Xu Ke's fault. The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is already messy. It's common for artists to make appointments, movies, TVs, concerts, etc. to not sign in a company.
Like Mei Yanfang's singer appointments are on Huaxing Records, TVB signs are on TVB, and movie appointments are on Jiahe. After all, it is because there is no formal agency in Hong Kong that the artist's contracts are so chaotic.
"Which movie is Xu Ke invited you to shoot?" Xia Tian asked curiously, wondering in his heart: "Can it be "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
"It is a comedy called "The Emperor of Working", which is collaborating with the singer Xu Guanjie." Wang Qixian said.
Xia Tian was stunned. I vaguely remembered that Wang Xiaoxian seemed to have made such a movie, but the impression was not very deep. I only remember that Wang Xiaoxian had a swimsuit in the film, which was very rare.
"Brother Tian, do you think I will take on this drama?" Wang Qixian asked for advice. Because she heard that in this drama, she wanted to play a couple with Xu Guanjie, and I am afraid Xia Tian would object.
"Come on." Xia Tian nodded. Not to mention anything else, it is a rare opportunity to work with Xu Ke. Xu's directorial skills are among the best in the Hong Kong film industry. After the adjustment of this great director, I believe that Wang Xiaoxian can also gain a lot.
Besides, Xu Guanjie is one of the most popular male stars in Hong Kong. He has won the annual box office championship for eight years and broke the box office record five times. Wang Shixian’s collaboration with such a great man is undoubtedly very helpful for her fame improvement.
In addition, Xia Tian is also very optimistic about Xu Guanjie's character. He has been in the industry for nearly 20 years and has not had a scandal with other actresses. He has always been very loving with his wife. Therefore, Wang Xiaoxian works with him this time, Xia Tian is not worried that she will be bullied.
"But Brother Tian, Xu Guanjie and I want to play the couple in this drama." Wang Qixian reminded that she didn't want to hide this from Xia Tian.
Xia Tian nodded, "I know, I'm asking such a beautiful girl to be in love, of course I want to fall in love when I encounter a kissing scene. But when I encounter a kissing scene, remember to borrow a seat to shoot, OK?"
"Okay, I will definitely stick to it." Wang Qixian nodded.
"Well, you will take me to see Xu Ke in the future. I happened to have something to talk to him." Xia Tian said again.
