"Then when will your "Oriental Vulture" be released? Say hello to me in advance. If the period is over, I will be wrong and release it again in half a month." Xia Tian thought for a while, then smiled slightly.

"Oh, okay, then you really want Brother Xia to admire you." Hong Jingbao smiled happily when he heard this.

Xia Tian's "Huang Feihong: Ambition" has such a strong lineup and such a high reputation. Once it is in a match with his "Oriental Condor", the best result will be both sides of the loss, and the worst result will be that he is crushed by Xia Tian.

But now I’m not afraid. Half a month after the release date was wrong, and by then, the box office of "Oriental Vulture" had almost been sold, and it didn’t matter if the remaining box office was snatched by "Wong Fei-Hong".

"You're welcome, Brother Hong." Xia Tian smiled and said, "By the way, where did your "Oriental Vulture" film?"

"It's only half of the filming. In the broken place in Thailand, there are many rains, many typhoons, many mosquitoes, and inconvenient roads. It's really tormenting to film the filming." Hong Jingbao complained.

The movie "Oriental Condor" is made of a story of the Vietnam War. The US government sent a team of suicide squads composed of illegal immigrants and criminals to North Vietnam to rescue American soldiers captured by North Vietnam and blow up the ammunition left by the United States in North Vietnam. The plan is code-named "Oriental Condor".

Although the story was filmed in North Vietnam, South Vietnam is now closed to the public, so the Hong Kong crew couldn't get in at all. And they wouldn't allow them to make movies with such content at all. That wouldn't it be that they would smear themselves on their faces, so Hong Jingbao could only film in Thailand.

In the 1980s, Thailand was still underdeveloped and its infrastructure was very backward. The crew really suffered a lot when filming there.

Especially that place is tropical, with a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. They are all filmed in the rainforest, and there is a place where mosquitoes are dense, so everyone suffers from biting.

For example, when Hong Jingbao was at its worst, there were nearly a hundred red dots all over his body, which was so itchy that it was uncomfortable. No matter how many mosquitoes were wiped, they wouldn't work if they were afraid that water would not work. They wished they could draw a knife to cut the flesh.

In addition, Menghai was once stung by a scorpion, and his fingers were all black; Zhong Fa had also been bitten by a snake, but fortunately, even if he had serum, he was not in danger of life.

In addition, there are many typhoons and rain, which has also severely slowed down the filming process.

Thailand is divided into three seasons a year, hot season, rainy season and cool season. The rainy season lasts for five months from June to October. During this period, there is almost rain every day and the film cannot be filmed at all. Therefore, although the film started filming last year, it has only been half of the filming so far.

"It is indeed not easy to shoot movies across the country." Xia Tian nodded.

In my previous life, many mainland movies also went abroad to film, such as "Lost in Thailand" to go to Thailand for filming. It also took a long time and encountered many difficulties.

Because the ancients said it was good that it was good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it was difficult to go out for a while. When filming in your own territory, it was easy to communicate, rich resources, and relatively simple to film. When going to other places to film, it was difficult to communicate with each other. Moreover, the resources were limited, if you wanted to make a good movie, you had to put in more effort.

He didn't recommend Hong Jingbao to take such a big risk at the beginning, but he was full of confidence at the beginning and insisted on trying it out. Now he suffered.

"If I had known that filming this movie was so painful, I would not have been fooled at the beginning." Hong Jingbao also sighed, "I just hope that this movie will achieve a high box office in the end, so that everyone's hard work will be worth it. Otherwise, I would have no face to meet the elders of Jiangdong."

Xia Tian sighed when he heard him say this. In his memory, the box office of this "Oriental Vulture" was not high, and even the cost was not recovered.

Because Hong Kong has been colonized by Britain since the last century, except for the short-lived occupation of the Japanese army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, it has never experienced any war.

Therefore, Hong Kong people lack unforgettable resonance for military-themed movies, and it is difficult for them to empathize with them, so they naturally find it difficult to become interested in such movies.

Therefore, Hong Jingbao made a desperate bet this time and was destined to fail. But he couldn't do anything, so he could only watch him fail step by step, which was really a deep sense of powerlessness.

...

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

While everyone was busy serving the drinks toast people, Yuan Biao waved to Xia Tian, ​​"Brother Xia~"

Xia Tian was stunned and got up and left the restaurant with him.

"Give it~" Yuan Biao took out a cigarette, handed Xia Tian one, and after helping him lit it, he also lit one himself.

Puff! A mouthful of smoke squirted out!

Yuan Biao watched the smoke slowly dissipate, his eyes were confused.

"What's wrong? Brother Biao, are you worried?" Xia Tian smiled slightly when he saw this.

Yuan Biao turned his head and looked over, asking with some restraint, "Can I still call you Brother Xia now?"

"Of course it can." Xia Tian was stunned and then smiled, "Without Brother Biao and Brother Hong's support, I would not have the achievements I have today? I, Xia Tian, ​​are not the kind of ungrateful person who turns against others when I am well-developed."

"Yeah." After hearing what he said, Yuan Biao immediately smiled with relief.

"Why, Brother Biao, do you want me to help if you have something to do? If you have something to do, just speak up. As long as you can help, I will do my best." Xia Tian asked immediately.

"Yes, but I'm sorry to say it." Yuan Biao said a little embarrassedly.

"After you say, what's wrong with us brothers?" Xia Tian smiled.

"Okay, then I'll say it with shamelessness." Yuan Biao was silent for a while, and he mustered up the courage to say, "That's right, you also know that my senior brother and Aaron were both moving forward together and had similar fame."

Xia Tian nodded.

Yuan Biao's fame was indeed comparable to Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao. Especially the three brothers starred in "Plan A" and "Fast Food Truck", which were roughly the same role, and each had its own wonderful roles. It can be said that they were spring flowers and autumn moons, and each had their own good luck.

"But in the past year, my career has declined so much. Not to mention compared to Aaron, even compared to his senior brother, there is a clear gap." Yuan Biao said distressedly again.

Cheng Long successfully transformed from a kung fu boy from the beginning of the Republic of China to a brave detective with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" two years ago. Last year, he set off another wave of action movies with "The Legend of Dragons and Tigers", and his popularity grew higher and higher.

Hong Jingbao's "Fugui Train" launched last year also had a very good box office. The box office of "The Good Star" and "Summer Lucky Star" were even more popular in the box office, making him the most popular action star in Hong Kong at one time.

The box office of "The Law Enforcement Pioneer" filmed by Yuan Biao last year was only more than 10 million, which is far inferior to Cheng Long's "The Dragon Brother and the Tiger Brother". The newly completed "The Fairy in the Painting" even played a supporting role for Zhang Xueyou. Although he didn't say anything and was very attentive when filming, he was actually a little awkward.

"Brother Biao means..." Xia Tian pondered for a moment and asked.

"I hope Brother Xia, you can help me write a script so that I can regain my strength." Yuan Biao gritted his teeth and said with a thick face.

If you want to make a good movie, you must have a good script. But Yuan Biao is not lucky, unlike his senior brother who has Huang Bingyao, nor is he like Cheng Long who has Deng Jinghui. He has no talent and lacks good scripts, so the hero has no place to fight, and it is useless, so he has to ask Xia Tian for help.

However, Yuan Biao also knew that Xia Tian’s script was not easy to ask for. Hong Jingbao used Lin Zhengying and Yuan Kui to exchange for several scripts, but he had nothing but himself.

Besides, Xia Tian is now the big boss of Tianxia Film, and he is an artist under Jiahe. He is in a competitive relationship with each other. He really can't write scripts and he is cheap. So Yuan Biao has hesitated to Xia Tian for a long time before he made up his mind.

"This..." Xia Tian hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately.

Although he admires Yuan Biao's character, straightforward personality, low-key, modest and cautious, he is a very moral artist. However, character belongs to character and business belongs to business. Even if he is a Saint Kong, he cannot go into other people's stores and take things without paying money.

"A Tian, ​​I know that your script cannot be given to people easily, and you must pay a price. This way, give me a script and I will help you shoot two movies for free in the future. How about it?" Yuan Biao saw that he was hesitant and said quickly.

The script of summer is now priced at HK$5 million, but it still has no market price. His pay is HK$3 million, and the two movies are 6 million, which is almost equal.

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded, "Brother Biao, when are you planning to ask for the script?"

"Of course, the faster the better." Yuan Biao immediately smiled and opened his eyes.

"Okay, then I'll give it to you tomorrow." Xia Tian nodded.

"It's all tomorrow?" Yuan Biao widened his eyes in surprise when he heard this.

Xia Tian smiled, "Of course, I won't lie to you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news tomorrow." Yuan Biao said happily.

...

After dinner, Xia Tian and Wang Qixian took a bus home with him.

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you asking you to go out and do?" Wang Qixian asked curiously.

"Oh, he wanted me to write a script for him," Xia Tian explained.

"Oh, that's it." Wang Qixian nodded, "Then have you promised him?"

"I promised it. I'll help him write a script and he helps me make two movies. Everyone has benefits and no one owe anyone." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

Although Yuan Biao's popularity has declined in the past two years, his reputation is still there. As the saying goes, the tiger is old and the donkey is not overturned. He is also a kung fu star with extremely high box office appeal in the Hong Kong film industry, and he still enjoys extremely high popularity overseas.

If he is asked to make a movie, I dare not say that if there are too many movies, it will not be a problem to make 100 million Hong Kong dollars in at least two movies, so this business will definitely be done.

"He helps you make a movie?! Can Boss Zou be willing?" Wang Xian asked worriedly when he heard this.

"So what if you don't want to? Do he dare to fight me?" Xia Tian smiled.
Chapter completed!
