033 [Play Master]
Xia Tian decided to write these two scripts: "The Heart of Dragon" and "The Flying Dragon".
"The Heart of Dragon" was filmed in 1985 and starred by Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao. This drama is a tragic art film. It is said to be Hong Jingbao's favorite drama. He also won the Best Director nomination for the Film Awards for this film.
"The Flying Dragon" was filmed in 1987. It is the last drama jointly collaborated by the brothers Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao. The story is wonderful and the fight is fierce. It is a high-level commercial action film.
Xia Tian took out this script of literature and martial arts at the same time, and I believe there is always one that can satisfy Hong Jingbao's appetite.
It took three hours to finish the two scripts, and after carefully proofreading Xiatian, he confirmed that there would be no mistakes, so he went to bed and rested with satisfaction.
The next morning, after dinner in summer, I asked Chen Yixin to go to Jiahe Building with me.
When Chen Yixin heard that he was going to Jiahe, he couldn't help but feel nervous, "Brother Tian, you should have told me earlier, then I won't wash that new clothes yesterday. Now I'm dressed so rustic, why are you embarrassed to meet Brother Hong?"
"It's not that you are going to be a big star. What's the use of wearing so glamorous? It's good to be clean." Xia Tian said in a daze.
The two of them took a minibus to the Jiahe set on Fushan Road. They saw four or five groups of tour groups gathered at the door of the set, all of whom spoke different nationalities, chattering and chatting, and it was very lively.
Xia Tian also noticed that many tourists were holding Cheng Long’s posters in their hands, and kept shouting “JACKIE!” and “JACKIE!” [Cheng Long’s English name], looking very excited.
"Wow, Cheng Long is so popular, it's so enviable!" Chen Yixin said with an envious look on his face.
Xia Tian nodded with emotion. He had long heard that Cheng Long was very popular and was very popular among fans, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. He felt that the star-chasing people in front of him seemed to be even more crazy than the younger generations thirty years later.
"Okay, stop watching it first, let's talk about it after finishing the serious matter." Seeing that Chen Yixin was curious and couldn't help but pat his shoulder and said.
Chen Yixin nodded, followed Xia Tian into the set, then went directly to the third floor of Jiahe Building and came to Baohe Film Company.
"Miss, we want to find Brother Hong Jingbao." Xia Tian said to the front desk lady with a smile.
"Did you make an appointment before?" asked the front desk lady.
"No, but I just had a meal with Brother Hong two days ago." Xia Tian said quickly. It seemed that seeing Hong Jingbao was not an easy task.
"That's how it's. The boss is in a meeting now. You can sit here first. I'll inform you after the boss finishes the meeting." The front desk lady thought for a while.
"Then please trouble you." Xia Tian nodded, then sat down with Chen Yixin.
...
After reading the newspaper for an hour and a half, Xia Tian even read the advertisements in the middle twice, but before the meeting was over, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"If I had known this, I would have just carried paper and pen with me. It took such a long time to write five thousand words." Xia Tian said in annoyance.
As for Chen Yixin, he was even more bored and yawning. If Xia Tian hadn't reminded him all the time, he would have been willing to lie on the coffee table and sleep for a while.
"Brother Tian, when will we wait?" He asked again with a long yawn.
"I'll go and ask." Xia Tian stood up and said, "Miss, I don't know what Brother Hong is doing today. Why haven't he finished it for such a long time?"
"Oh, today's meeting is about discussing the script. Maybe everyone's discussion is quite fierce, so the meeting has not been completed until now." The lady explained simply, "If you can't wait, sir, or leave a message first and I'll convey it to the boss afterwards."
"Is it a matter of discussing the script?! That's a coincidence!" Xia Tian was stunned, and then said in surprise, "Miss, please help me report it and tell Brother Hong that I'm here to send the script."
"Yeah?" The front desk lady looked at Xia Tian in confusion. This was a coincidence. He just said that the boss was in a meeting to study the script, and he immediately said that he was here to deliver the script, and that he was too fast to climb along the pole.
"It's true, if you don't believe it, please see." Xia Tian saw her suspicious eyes, and quickly took out the two scripts from the file bag and said, "Brother Hong had dinner with me two days ago. He knew I was doing creation, so he asked me to write a few scripts for him. If you don't believe it, go in and report it, and say Xia Tian is here to deliver the script."
"Okay, then wait a little longer." The front desk lady saw that Xia Tian really took out two scripts, so she dispelled her doubts and went into the office to inform him.
...
After a while, the lady came out and said, "Mr. Xia, the boss is asking you to come in." She smiled and said to Xia Tian.
"What about me?" Chen Yixin quickly stood up and asked.
The lady shook her head. She only asked Xia Tian just now, but did not ask Chen Yixin.
"He is my friend and comes with me. Brother Hong has seen him too." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Miss, let him go in with me."
"Okay then." The lady nodded and led Xia Tian and Chen Yixin to the conference room.
As soon as I entered the conference room, I saw that there were people sitting inside. They were talking nonstop, and it sounded very lively.
"A Tian, you are here, come here to sit here." Hong Jingbao waved his hand and smiled. Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, Huang Bingyao and others were still sitting beside him.
Xia Tian nodded, led Chen Yixin through the crowd, and came to Hong Jingbao near, "Hello Brother Hong! Hello Brother Cheng Long! Hello Brother Yuan Biao..." He greeted one by one.
"Well, why? I wrote the script so quickly?" Hong Jingbao asked with a smile.
"Yes, how dare I delay doing things for Brother Hong?" Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "These are two scripts I have written in the past few days. Brother Hong, do you think you are satisfied?"
"It's only two days, right?! There are two scripts in two days?! Your speed is even better than our Brother Yao." Hong Jingbao said in surprise.
He asked Xia Tian to help write the script, but it was just the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, Xia Tian had already taken out two scripts in less than two days. The speed was so fast that he was a little surprised.
"Mr. Huang is known as the 'King of Bridge King' and is very talented. How dare I compete with him as an unknown young man?" Xia Tian said with a smile. Huang Bingyao is Hong Jingbao's imperial screenwriter and has a very high status in the film industry. Hong Jingbao is more irrelevant to them. If Xia Tian nodded and admitted, he would be ignorant of the level.
"No need to be modest, it's a mule or a horse, just look at it." Hong Jingbao smiled and said, picking up the script in Xia Tian's hand.
Cheng Long was also a little curious. He completed two movie scripts in two days, and the creation speed was simply terrifying. Seeing that Hong Jingbao had a script in his hand, he reached out and followed it with curiosity.
Hong Jingbao watched the movie "The Heart of the Dragon", while Cheng Long watched the movie "The Flying Dragon". Both of them watched it seriously without saying a word.
Everyone sitting in the conference room closed their mouths and did not dare to speak, but their eyes were all staring at Xia Tian, guessing what the young man was from.
Xia Tian also noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He smiled and looked back one by one, nodding to them slightly. Among them, he found many familiar faces, such as Lin Zhengying, who is famous for making zombie films, Zeng Zhiwei, one of the seven monsters in the New Art City, and comedy star Wu Yaohan, etc.
"Okay, this script is really well written." Just when Xia Tian was "transmitting feelings" with these seniors, he suddenly heard Hong Jingbao slamming the table and saying.
The script of "Dragon Heart" has a total of 30,000 words, and he has finished reading it in a short while. After reading it, Hong Jingbao couldn't help but film, thinking that the script was simply amazing.
Seeing that he was so responsive, everyone couldn't help but feel curious. They wanted to see how good this script was, which could make Hong Jingbao so disobedient.
At this moment, Cheng Long laughed, "It's interesting, this script is also interesting." He couldn't help laughing when he saw the wonderful things.
Seeing that he was also so disobedient, everyone couldn't help but become more curious, "Brother Sanmao, what kind of good script is it that is worthy of your liking?" they asked curiously.
"You can take it and take a look, be careful and don't tear it apart." Hong Jingbao handed the script to Yuan Biao and others and said, and they immediately gathered together and watched it curiously.
Cheng Long also handed the script of "Flying Dragons" to Huang Bingyao on the side, "Brother Yao, come and have a look."
Huang Bingyao nodded and took over the script. When he opened it, he was stunned. He saw that the script was written quite standardized, completely different from the scripts that are now popular in the Hong Kong film industry.
Because the Hong Kong film industry generally does not pay attention to screenwriters, the status of screenwriters is relatively low, so there are not many professional talents willing to participate in this industry, which has also made more screenwriters in the Hong Kong film industry become famous halfway.
For example, Huang Bingyao was a middle school teacher before, Xu Guanwen was a TV show host, Zeng Zhiwei was a dragon and tiger martial artist, Huang Baiming was a foreign company manager, and Liu Zhenwei was a financial company manager before... Almost no one has been formally trained, which has led to most of the scripts they wrote that are not in compliance with the standards.
What he didn't expect was that the scripts produced by a young man like Xia Tian were written in such a standard way. The scenes, characters, dialogues, expressions, actions, etc. were all clearly written clearly and clearly. With such a detailed script as a guide, the entire crew didn't know how much trouble it would save.
"He is so young, can he become a 'actor master'?" Huang Bingyao said in surprise.
