026 [Meet Hong Kyung-po]
"Brother Long, I'm resting, I'll treat you to the rice noodles." Xia Tian gave the rice noodles one by one to everyone, so that everyone could enjoy their joy.
"A Tian, the injury on your head is fine, right?" Di Long took the rice noodles and asked with a smile.
A few days ago, he accidentally broke Xia Tian’s head while filming.
"It's already okay, Brother Long. Look, there's no scar left at all." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.
"Then I'll feel relieved." Di Long nodded, "By the way, I heard them say you have started writing novels recently, how is it?" he asked curiously.
"It's okay. I just went to sign a contract with Mr. Jin Yong today. I will be serialized in Ming Pao in a few days." Xia Tian replied with a smile.
"Really?! I really want to congratulate you. Writing novels as writers is more promising than being a dragon and tiger martial artist." Di Long praised with a smile, "By the way, do you want me to introduce some famous masters to you?"
"No need, Brother Long, thank you. I'm just a little fight, why are you embarrassed to meet those famous masters?" Xia Tian declined with a smile.
He wrote martial arts novels just to make money and make a name for himself, and it is enough to know Jin Yong. No matter how many other famous artists know, they can't help him.
"Since that's the case, then forget it." Di Long smiled and did not feel that he had lost face because Xia Tian refused.
Xia Tian saw that Di Long was a big star, but he was not a little arrogant. He was polite to him, a little dragon and tiger martial artist. No wonder he was so popular for fifty years, and there were still filming after the new century. Some new stars who became arrogant after a little famous really had to learn from these old predecessors.
...
Because "The Arena" is the last drama that Master Tang Jia made at Shaw Brothers, which is very memorable, although Xia Tian has decided not to be a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman, he still stayed in the crew to accompany his master for the last mile.
Four days later, the drama "The Legend" was finally completed, and Tang Jia also bid farewell to Shaw Pictures and will take office at the TVB near the beginning.
Before leaving, the disciples held a banquet for their master Tang Jia in the restaurant. One to comfort him and let him not be too sad; the other to create momentum for him so that he can take office with glory.
Tang Jia has been serving Shao Brothers for more than 20 years and is a master of the Wushu industry. Because of this, he has countless disciples and old friends. It is not enough to book ten tables for a banquet. In the end, he added ten tables before he could barely sit.
That day, there were guests full of guests, like the clouds, such as Liu Jialiang, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Heping, etc., and the most glorious filmmakers in the Hong Kong film industry today, all came to the banquet. For a moment, the stars were shining, and everyone was dazzled.
Although Xia Tian is Tang Jia's beloved disciple, because he is a small person, he is not qualified to sit in the private room with guests. He only sits in the hall with Chen Yixin to drink.
"Wow, Master Tang is so popular. So many big brothers in the film industry come to support him." Chen Yixin said enviously. As long as he knows one of these big brothers, he doesn't have to worry about life.
Xia Tian also smiled. Originally, the banquet was just intended to invite fellow brothers, but unexpectedly, these big brothers in the film industry came one after another when they heard the news. Even if some people had not arrived, they sent representatives to attend. It was so embarrassing to the master.
This is also because Tang Jia has a good reputation. Although she is a master of martial arts, she is usually low-key and not ostentatious, and has a kind and easy-to-talk, so she can make so many good friends.
"I really didn't expect that Master would have such deep connections in the film and television industry. Even Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long were very respectful to him." Xia Tian said secretly happily. He originally hoped to develop in the film industry, but he was worried that there was no place to leverage his power. Now seeing the master's deep connections, he couldn't help but be moved.
"It would be a good thing if we could meet these elder brothers, talk, have a glass of wine, and leave an impression." Xia Tian thought while sitting there.
He knew that the most important thing in the development of the film and television industry was not money, but connections. With more friends, it was easy to walk on, but it was not just empty talk. If he could get on the line with these big brothers, he would not have to worry about not having any chance to make progress.
It’s just that although I have a good idea, how can I get to know these elder brothers? If I am an unknown junior and have no recommendation, even if I get close to them and talk to them, I will not leave a deep impression on me.
You should know that 99% of the people here today want to get along, hoping to make friends with these big brothers in the film industry. Why can they stand out and make their mark?
Just as he was thinking, Chen Yixin burst into laughter and said, "Brother Tian, look, someone has been turned away again."
Xia Tian looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a man walking back by someone. "Hey, why are you stopping me? I just want to pay a glass of wine to Master Tang." He struggled to himself.
"No need to worry, Master Tang will come out to have a drink with everyone later." The two of them holding him said with a smile. They wanted to take the opportunity of toasting to curry favor with these big brothers in the film industry. They had already stopped Liubo just now.
Xia Tian smiled bitterly. Originally, they did not book a private room for the banquet. However, there were too many VIP guests today, especially superstars like Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao, who also came to support them. In order to avoid accidents, they were invited into the private room. However, this also made Xia Tian lose the opportunity to get to know these big brothers in the film industry.
"Why are you so unlucky?" he said depressedly.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and the door of the private room opened. Then, Tang Jia, accompanied by Xu Chongxin, Guo Zhi and other celebrity disciples, was greeted by the table.
Xu Chongxin and Guo Zhi are both famous martial arts stars. Xu Chongxin is the one who played the last villain Lei Yixiao in "Huang Feihong: Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede". He has top-notch kung fu.
Guo Zhi is the confidant of director Zhang Cheung. He was once very popular in the 1970s, and now he set up a self-organized film company as his own boss. Xia Tian also knew that in later generations, he would enter Hollywood and become a famous martial arts director.
The two of them are the most outstanding star martial artists in the Tang family. They are famous and experienced, so they are naturally qualified to be with their master, which makes Xia Tian a little envious when he sees them.
Just as he was envious, Tang Jia had already walked up to him and drank with everyone.
"Master, can you recommend those big brothers in the film industry for me later?" Xia Tian seized the opportunity and asked his master quietly.
Tang Jia was stunned, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, but don't be rude later."
Although Xia Tian is still an unknown junior now, Tang Jia is optimistic about his future because he is one of the few cultural people among the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsmen.
Ordinary Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists are rough men and can’t read a few big characters. Even if they have the opportunity to develop in the future, they can at most be promoted to martial arts directors or martial arts actors. No one can reach the status of Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao. Moreover, Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists are all for youth, and people over forty years old will basically be finished. The decline in physical strength and the trouble of old injuries are enough to make people feel pain.
But summer is different. He is taking another road, which is smoother and safer, and will not be in danger of life. Moreover, his reputation and status are far higher than that of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman. Tang Jia is very optimistic about his development, so he is naturally willing to pave the way for him.
"Thank you, Master, I promise I won't be embarrassed." Xia Tian smiled happily.
...
After a while, Tang Jiajing finished the wine and took Xia Tian back to the private room.
"Brother Liang, Sanmao, Big Eyes, A Long... I'll recommend it to you. This is my little apprentice Xia Tian." Tang Jia introduced with a smile, "A Tian, I've seen these seniors."
Xia Tian quickly bowed and saluted one by one. It was so happy for him to meet these long-known film elder brothers.
"Uncle Jia, you are so handsome. I think it's okay to be a kung fu star." Hong Jingbao praised with a smile. The so-called flower sedan chair is carried by people. Since Tang Jia brought Xia Tian over, he must attach great importance to this disciple, so he naturally has to give him a few good words.
"That's right, a famous teacher will be a good disciple. Since he is Uncle Jia's beloved disciple, he must be fine." Yuan Heping also said with a smile. He and Mr. Tang Jia came from the same school, and both studied under his father Yuan Xiaotian. Since Xia Tian is Tang Jia's beloved disciple, he is not his nephew, so of course he should also look at it differently.
"My apprentice's ambition is not just a kung fu star," Tang Jia laughed and said proudly, "He is a novelist now. He only signed a contract with Mr. Jin Yong a few days ago."
"Wow!" Everyone here was surprised when he said this. Unexpectedly, someone in the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman became a writer. This is really a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop.
You should know that everyone here has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is first-class in terms of boxing and foot skills, but they are not as good as reading and writing. If you can recognize a few words and understand the script, it is already Amitabha Buddha.
Now that I heard that Xia Tian could write novels and was recognized by Mr. Jin Yong, these people were quite restless. The eyes of Xia Tian all looked at Xia Tian with a sense of awe.
Please collect new books and recommend them!
When Tang Jia saw everyone's reaction, she couldn't help but be happy and looked a little proud.
Whether his disciples Guo Zhi or Xu Chongxin are not considered top kung fu superstars, they can't support much face for themselves. But Xia Tian is different. When his identity as a writer is illuminated, all of these people are shocked.
"Uncle Jia, this is really beyond his ambition." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "Little brother, that's not bad. If you can become a writer, you will give us a face to the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman. It's OK! How about it, let's write a script for me too."
Xia Tian wishes to cooperate with Hong Jingbao because he is famous for being loyal in the Hong Kong film industry, and he doesn’t have to worry about getting cheated when he works with him.
