489 [Internal Raising and Not Avoiding the Prosperity]

"Mr. Xia, your adaptation is really good." After reading the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Xu Ke said sincerely to Xia Tian.

Through its own adaptation, Summer completely gives this story a new charm.

The passionate and resentful female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, the honest and simple scholar Ning Caichen, the knife-like mouth and the heart-warming knight Yan Chixia, the sinister and cunning, the cold-hearted tree demon grandma... Every character is vivid on paper, more vivid than "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Li Hanxiang, the story is more interesting, and the core is more modern.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Li Hanxiang was filmed in 1960. At that time, the civil war had only been ten years. Therefore, the core of that version of the movie was the grudges of the country and the separation of people in troubled times.

Xia Tian's "A Chinese Ghost Story" focuses on the love between a scholar and a female ghost. Because of different identities and different paths of humans and ghosts, the ending was destined from the beginning, so this love that knew it was impossible to do something even more touching.

When Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian couldn't even meet for the last time, Xu Ke couldn't help but shed tears. This love story really touched him so much.

"Then Director Xu, do you intend to direct this movie?" Xia Tian saw that Xu Ke was also very acknowledging the script, and nodded with a smile.

Xu Ke nodded repeatedly. To be honest, this script is so good at his taste, it is like it was tailored for him.

"Mr. Xia, after reading your script, I will grab it even if you don't let me direct it." Xu Ke said ridiculously. For a director who has a pursuit of art and has ideals for movies, is there anything more precious than seeing a script that makes him like?!

You should know that since "The Emperor of Working", Xu Ke has collected dozens of scripts, but after reading them, no one of them can make him urge to start the filming.

A good script is hard to come by!

Now he has two excellent scripts in front of him. After watching them, a strong impulse surged in Xu Ke's heart, wishing he could summon people and start filming immediately!!

If Xia Tian wanted to take back the script at this time and did not plan to cooperate with him again, Xu Ke would really compete with him.

"No need to grab it, I will hand it over to you." Xia Tian smiled, "Then let it be decided. The movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be handed over to you. After the filming of "The Dao Ma Dan", it will start filming. How about it?"

"Okay." Xu Ke agreed immediately.

"The pay is still 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, how about it?" Xia Tian asked again.

Before Shi Nansheng could speak, Xu Ke nodded directly, "Yes."

"Okay, I want to tell you about the list of actors. Scholar Ning Caichen, I want to invite Mr. Zhang Guorong to act..." Xia Tian arrived later.

"Why aren't you here to act?" Xu Ke asked in surprise.

This scholar is so kind and ignorant, and is a very easy-to-excite person. For such a character, Xia Tianli should be assigned to himself, so the so-called "wealth is not flowing from outsiders' fields."

"It's okay for me to play Xiahou Swordsman. I'm afraid I can't play Ning Caichen so kind and innocent, and the audience won't recognize him." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.

Xia Tian knew that his image in the minds of Hong Kong people is a very talented, capable and capable business tycoon. No one would believe that he would be a little white rabbit like "Ning Caichen" and harmless to others. On the contrary, judging from his remediation of the Li family and the Wen family, he is almost the same as a big bad wolf, and he is a cannibalist. So he played "Ning Caichen" himself without any persuasion.

When Xu Ke heard him comment on him like this, he couldn't help laughing out loud and nodded in agreement. To be honest, although Xia Tian is more than teenager younger than him, when he faces Xia Tian, ​​he still couldn't help feeling very stressed.

"Mr. Zhang Guorong has a handsome appearance. Since his debut, he has not had any unbearable news. He has a good image and a very good reputation in the circle. So I think it is perfect for him to play this role." Xia Tian then explained.

Xu Ke nodded. Although he had never worked with Zhang Guorong, Wu Yusen had worked with Zhang Guorong in "The True Character of Heroes". He had a very high evaluation of Zhang Guorong. He was both dedicated and enthusiastic, and was a very good young man. Xu Ke and Wu Yusen are good friends, so he believed in Wu Yusen's judgment, so he also had a good impression of Zhang Guorong.

"Female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, I want to invite my girlfriend Wang Qixian to play it." Xia Tian said then.

"..." Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were stunned.

Wang Xiaoxian is indeed good-looking, unparalleled, with a superb temperament. He is indeed a first-class beauty. Last time they worked together to film "The Emperor of Working", Wang Xiaoxian came to the crew to start work on the first day, and the whole group was stunned at that time. Because he was so beautiful, even his bare face was as beautiful.

However, Wang Xiaoxian has always been in modern costumes. Now he wants to play a female ghost in ancient costumes, but he is afraid he can't play the temperament of the ancients. In addition, Wang Xiaoxian is a professional basketball player and has a tall figure of more than 1.73 meters. With such a big figure and such a strong figure, it would be a bit difficult for her to play a pitiful, sad and charming female ghost.

"Ms. Wang is pretty, but it's a bit inappropriate to play Nie Xiaoqian." Xu Ke shook his head and said.

Seeing that he refused so quickly, Shi Nansheng quickly winked at him. After all, Wang Xian is Xia Tian’s girlfriend, and this drama is also invested in by others. Even if you refuse, can you speak more tactfully?!

"Presuming it is false, but seeing it is true. In this way, how about arranging her to try the mirror? After the trial, if you think it is not suitable, then let's change to other actors?" Xia Tian smiled slightly.

He knew that when Xu Ke was preparing to film "A Chinese Ghost Story", he did not expect to invite Wang Shixian to play Nie Xiaoqian. The first person he thought of was the popular Japanese actress Akina Nakamori. The "Xiaoqian dressing picture" in the movie was actually painted Akina Nakamori, and his face shape was actually very different from Wang Shixian. But Akina Nakamori did not agree to Xu Ke's invitation at that time, so he thought of Luo Meiwei, the wife of the king.

When Wang Xiaoxian learned that Xu Ke was casting for "A Chinese Ghost Story", he knew it was a good opportunity, so he recommended himself and called Shi Nansheng to act. As a result, Shi Nansheng refused. Wang Xiaoxian did not give up and took the initiative to audition again. As soon as he put on the costume, his ethereal temperament immediately came out and was recognized by Xu Ke.

As a result, Wang Qixian won the role of "Nie Xiaoqian" in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and eventually became one of the most popular actresses in Southeast Asia with this role.

Xia Tian knew this gossip, so he was full of confidence in Wang Qixian.

Seeing that he said this, Xu Ke had to nod and promised to give Wang Xiaoxian an audition. After all, Xia Tian is the boss of investment and he has to give him some face.

"Yan Chixia is played by Wu Malay, how about it?" Xia Tian said again.

Xu Ke blinked.

Wu Ma was the assistant of the great director Zhang Che, and then joined the Hong family. Now he is just a green leaf actor. He is not very good-looking, describes vulgarity, plays Yan Chixia, who is full of passion and cold-faced, which is something wrong. If it were played by Di Long, it would be almost the same. That is what a hero should be.

"Try it first, and then change it if you don't have it." Xu Ke learned his lesson this time, and did not refuse directly, but said with a smile.

Xia Tian nodded, and the audition didn't matter.

The Wuma version of "Yan Chixia" is a very classic character in the film industry. The bearded man, laughing, scolding, and hating evil like hatred, is similar to the legendary master "Zhong Kui" who drives away evil spirits and catches ghosts!

"Grandma Tree Demon, I suggest you invite Mr. Liu Zhaoming to perform." Xia Tian smiled again.

When Xu Ke heard this, he nodded.

His first movie was "The Butterfly Transformation" collaborated with Liu Zhaoming. Liu Zhaoming was still very young at that time, and that was his first time in a movie.

The two of them have a very pleasant collaboration, and Xu Ke has a very good impression of him. He knows that since "The Butterfly Transformation", he has joined TVB as an actor, played many roles, and accumulated a lot of experience. Now he is a drama master. Therefore, he is definitely competent in acting. Moreover, playing grandma by a man can better demonstrate the horror of this monster, which is undoubtedly more visually impactful.

"The Xiahou Swordsman is played by Lin Wei, how about it?" Xia Tian said again.

He played the original Xiahou Swordsman, and he is now a signed actor of Tianxia Film. So this role, Xia Tian will naturally not be cheaper to outsiders.

Xu Ke nodded, knowing that Lin Wei had been in the industry for a long time, but it was not until last year that he was nominated for Best Newcomer for "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier". He had good acting skills, good image and evil, and it was very suitable to play a hero who was unruly in the world.

"Xiaoqing is played by Zhou Haimei, how about it?" Xia Tian said again.

The original Xiaoqing is played by Xue Zhilun, and she also became famous for this role. But just when the film and television company wanted to find her to film, Miss Xue suddenly died of her father, and then inherited all his inheritance, and suddenly became a sparrow and phoenix. So she stopped filming the show, and she looked down on the pay of more than 100,000 yuan, so she directly married a rich man and became a wealthy wife. Later, she became a famous "dance queen" in the upper class, and she can be said to be a legend in the entertainment industry.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is a good show, and the people who starred in this show are destined to become famous. Xia Tian didn't know Xue Zhilun, and of course he didn't want to be cheaper, so he wanted to invite Zhou Haimei to play Xiaoqing.

Xu Ke didn't remember who Zhou Haimei came. He didn't care about the beauty pageant of Miss Hong Kong, so he naturally had no impression of Zhou Haimei.

However, Shi Nansheng is familiar with the entertainment industry and knows that Zhou Haimei was the hottest beauty pageant in Miss Hong Kong last year. However, she was very popular and was not even shortlisted for the top 15. However, her luck is better. Although she lost to Miss Hong Kong, she was still signed into Tianxia Pictures by Xiatian, and now she has made two movies, namely "Midnight Bell" and "Love Letter".

"I think she is good." Shi Nansheng said.
