Gongs and drums are loud and the golden lion dances.

In the afternoon, I participated in the "Extra-Judgement" ritual to worship the gods invested by Yongsheng in the summer.

When I arrived at Guandi Temple, I saw that the main creators and media reporters had arrived.

As soon as summer arrived, reporters flocked to it.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that this drama was written by you. You have always written comedy, so why did you think of writing a tragic film?"

"Mr. Xia, do you think the box office of this art film may exceed 20 million? Are you worried about destroying your reputation as a "20 million screenwriter"?"

"Mr. Xia, there have been rumors in the circle that you are 'invincible in the same period'. In order to avoid becoming cannon fodder, I don't want to release it in the same period as you. Do you agree with this statement?"

"Mr. Xia, your first comic is officially launched today. How high will you predict sales?"

...

The reporters asked in a verbal manner, and Xia Tian's ears were so aching.

But surrounded by them three circles inside and three circles outside, they couldn't move their feet even if they wanted to walk.

Seeing this, Xiang Huasheng hurriedly brought people to him.

Huang Rihua, Lan Jiemu, Liu Jialing and others who were still interviewing before were envious and lost when they saw the reporters leaving them one after another and gathering Xia Tian.

"Everyone, please give in first. Let's ask questions one by one. Don't squeeze or quarrel." Xiang Huasheng and his men squeezed into the crowd, protected Xia Tian behind him, and then shouted loudly.

Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Everyone, I won't run away. Let's walk over and talk slowly in that shade, don't stand in this big sun and get sunbathed."

Hearing him say this, the reporters laughed and followed the summer to the shade.

"Okay, I can answer your questions below, but ask questions one by one, don't be confused, otherwise I will ignore them." Xia Tian said again.

The reporters then asked the question I just now again.

"You ask me that I have always written comedy, but why I want to write tragic films. I think this question is good. Whether it is a comedy or a tragic film, I don't think the subject matter is important. The key is whether the story is excellent, whether the film production is attentive, and whether it can move the audience." Xia Tian smiled.

"Everyone knows that life in Hong Kong is very stressful. You have pressure, I have pressure, and everyone has pressure. What should I do if I have pressure? Of course I have to vent my feelings. I write comedy movies in the hope that everyone can smile. After a smile, I have been young and have all my worries. I write tragic movies in the hope that everyone can cry. American scientists have done research, and crying can actually release stress."

"Please tell everyone that when watching this drama, you must carry a handkerchief with you. Otherwise, it will be too embarrassing to cry and wet your sleeves." Xia Tian said with a smile again.

"Mr. Xia, do you have so confidence in this movie and think it will definitely move people to cry?" a reporter asked in confusion.

"Of course. The script was written by myself, and I have confidence in my script. The actors and directors were recommended by me by Mr. Xiang, and I also have confidence in them. So I am very confident in this movie. If someone goes to the theater to watch this movie and can't cry, I will be responsible for refunding the ticket to him!" Xia Tian said confidently.

After hearing what he said, the reporters' eyes lit up. This matter is so gimmick. They have already thought of the title of tomorrow's newspaper. "Summer is full of confidence in the new film, and I will not cry and be responsible for refunding the ticket!"

There has never been a rule in Hong Kong that he is not satisfied with the refund of tickets when watching movies. If Xia Tian made an unprecedented statement this time, it would be bold enough, and of course it is also topical enough, and it is worth promoting it well.

"Mr. Xia, do you think the box office still has hope of over 20 million Hong Kong dollars this time? After all, the box office of art films has never been high. Are you worried that you will lose your title of "20 million director" because of this?" the reporter asked again.

"Actually, I have never cared about titles such as 'twenty million director', 'twenty million screenwriter', 'invincible in the same period'. I think that's just a gimmick. If you have heard of it, you can't be really good at it. I think as a filmmaker, the most important thing is to maintain the ethics of filmmakers. Make good movies for the public. Don't blindly pursue those false reputations." Xia Tian talked happily.

"In my opinion, even if the box office of this movie is only one million, as long as the audience is satisfied and thinks that I really put my heart into it, I feel very content. I will not make some popular bad movies in order to maintain a reputation such as "twenty million screenwriters" or "invincible in the same period." Xia Tian said again.

Hearing him say this, the reporters couldn't help but applaud.

In fact, since Xia Tian filmed "The Flying Man", "Mr. Zombie" and "Zombie Family", he has become a name in Hong Kong and has a group of loyal fans. As long as he is willing, he will make a comedy film casually. As long as the quality is not too high, it will not be difficult to reach a box office of 20 million. This can also continue to maintain his hat as a "20 million director".

But he would rather make an art film that is destined to be a big hit than squander his fame, which is really worthy of everyone's admiration.

"Mr. Xia, when this drama is released, I will definitely buy tickets to support you!"

"So too!" "I will support it, too."

The reporters all said unanimously.

"Thank you for your support." Xia Tian smiled.

When Huang Rihua, Lan Jiemu, Liu Jialing and others heard Xia Tian say this, they realized that they could star in the movie because of Xia Tian's recommendation, and they couldn't help but be grateful to him. When they heard his generous speeches, they couldn't help but applaud. Directors like him who insisted on thinking about the audience are really worthy of respect.

"Mr. Xia, your first comic is released today. How high will you expect to have sales?" a reporter asked.

"Of course I hope the higher the sales, the better." Xia Tian smiled. This question is really idiotic.

Hearing him say this, the reporters laughed. The reporters asked the question looked embarrassed and blushed. He was still a newcomer and had little experience, so he never had the idea to ask questions.

Seeing this, Xia Tian smiled and said, "Of course, my expectations for a new comic will not be too high. Let me explain to you that "Buddha is the Tao" has 30,000 copies in the first print. If all of them can be sold, I will be content. How about it, can my answer satisfy you?"

Hearing what he said, the reporter who asked the question just now quickly nodded vigorously and cast a grateful look at Xia Tian. If he hadn't saved his words, he would have been ridiculed by his colleagues.

When other reporters saw Xia Tian taking the initiative to resolve the embarrassment for the rookie reporter, they couldn't help but nod, thinking that he was really kind enough.

"Mr. Xia, you have worked hard in the film industry, how could you suddenly remember to enter the comics industry?" Another reporter asked curiously.

The Hong Kong comics industry is far inferior to Japan, Europe and the United States, and the total market value will not exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Excluding the imported Japanese, European and American comics, local comics will not exceed 50 million. This income is not even comparable to the income of a movie in the summer.

Logically speaking, there is no need to enter this market in summer. As long as you go to film his movies with peace of mind, you will naturally have a lot of money, so why bother so hard?

"Actually it's very simple. Because I think my comics can bring entertainment to everyone, I'll do it. There's no special reason, so you don't have to over-interpret it." Xia Tian smiled.

"You are a master in the literary world and have created a new literary form of fantasy novels. You have created a craze for zombie films in the film industry and have gained the reputation of "twenty million directors". What do you expect from yourself this time when you enter the comics industry?" the reporter asked again.

"The type of fantasy novels, to be precise, were not created by me. In fact, novels like this kind of mysterious and strange ambitions have already existed in ancient times. For example, myths and legends such as Dayu controls the flood, Nuwa repairs the sky, and Kuafu chases the sun, all have fantasy colors. The novels of the legends and monsters from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, legendary novels from the Tang Dynasty, discourse novels from the Song Dynasty, novels of the Gods and Demons from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and martial arts novels from the Republic of China can all be regarded as a type of fantasy novel." Xia Tian smiled, "I just carried it forward, and I dare not be called a master of this generation."

"I actually didn't create zombie films. Ten years ago, Shaw Brothers co-starred "Seven Golden Corpse" with the British Hamma Company. A few years ago, Brother Hong Jingbao also filmed "Scared People" and "Ghost Fights" and other spiritual action films. Mr. Xu Guanwen also produced ghost films like "Seven Heroes of the Ghosts". I am just learning from others' strengths. If you say it's pioneering, you won't dare to take it." Xia Tian smiled again.

"As for what expectations I have for getting into the comics industry, to be honest, I won't set high goals for myself from the beginning. I just hope to publish a comic that readers like, that's enough." Xia Tian smiled, "As for what status I can achieve, I don't think I'll care about these false names."

"Okay, everyone, today is the opening ceremony of Yongsheng's "Extra-law Love". Let's not overshadow the main point, ignore the theme, or focus all your energy on the movie?" Xia Tian smiled again.

...

At 3:33 pm, the start of the work to worship God was held on time.

This time was calculated by Feng Shui Master, and it is said to be the best time in the past week. When you start the filming of the movie, the filming will definitely be safe and safe, and it will definitely be very popular after it is released.

Although Xia Tian is just a screenwriter, he is lucky to cut suckling pigs with producer Xiang Huasheng and director Mai Xiong. As for the protagonists Huang Rihua, Ye Dexian, Lan Jiemu, etc., they can only eat suckling pigs.

"A Tian, ​​let me introduce you. This is Huang Rihua." After the worship ceremony, Xiang Huasheng smiled and introduced. "This beauty is Lan Jiemu, and this beauty is Liu Jialing..."
