"Since you said you wanted to let him go, I will let him go." Xiang Huasheng agreed happily, "What are you going to do with the instructions of Mr. Liu, who instructed him?"

"Don't hurry. Give me some time and slowly cure him." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

He didn't want to make things difficult for the prodigal son, but he had no intention of hurting the tiger, and it would be harmful to others. If he hadn't carried a bodyguard with him, he would have suffered that day.

The so-called reward for one reward, and this must be revenge.

"Okay, if you need anything, just say hello, I will be at your will." Xiang Huasheng said with a loyalty for a long time.

"Okay, thank you Brother Sheng." Xia Tian nodded and hung up the phone.

Then he called Liang Botao again, "Botao, help me check someone."

"Okay." Liang Botao said simply, "Who do you want me to check?"

"Check a man named Liu Gongcheng. I heard that he is also a Hong Kong rich man. I want all his information." Xia Tian then ordered.

"Liu Gongcheng?! I know this person. He started his business by selling famous watches and jewelry. He began to get involved in the real estate industry in the 1970s. At his peak, there were more than 20 properties under construction under his name, and there were also a large number of land on Lantau Island, which was called "official island landlords".

However, during the Sino-British negotiations, the Hong Kong property market collapsed, and he became penniless overnight from wealth. However, he was also a talented person. It took only four years to pay off all his debts, and the prosperity was even better than in the past." Liang Botao briefly introduced.

Xia Tian nodded, knowing that Liu Zheng was indeed a character, no wonder he was able to make a comeback after losing everything.

"Okay, please sort out a detailed information and give it to me." He immediately ordered.

"Boss, are you going to touch him?" Liang Botao asked curiously.

Whenever Xiatian asked him to collect information, he knew that Xiatian had found a new goal.

"I haven't decided yet, you can collect it first." Xia Tian waved his hand.

He hadn't decided to do it or not. However, Master Liu would not let it go, at least one report and another report, and he would be beaten first.

"Okay." Liang Botao didn't say much nonsense and responded neatly.

...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian walked out of the studio and saw nearly 100 people in the crew of "Bi Ghosts" who were having a lot of fun holding fast food boxes.

"Boss, this roast Goose noodles that everyone has had is really good. Do you want to give me one?" Wang Jing shouted.

"No, I've had lunch and I'm not hungry yet." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Director Wang, when will our drama be finished?"

"It's almost done, I guess it's only two or three days." Wang Jing said with a smile.

In fact, the story of "Bi Ghost Catching" is quite simple, it is the final "Demon's Cave Subduing Demons". Because it requires a certain amount of special effects, it took a lot of time to build the set.

"That's good." Xia Tian nodded. It was a fast speed in two months to make a movie.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Xia, look at our setting, isn't it quite like that?" Wang Jing smiled and asked for advice.

"It's good, it's quite atmosphere." Xia Tian nodded and said in praise.

The demon cave built by the crew of "Bi Ghost Catch" is made of skeletons, bats, spider webs, and a sea of ​​blood. It looks like the eighteenth level of hell, and it is indeed quite similar.

"Is this also the Japanese special effects team responsible for producing it?" Xia Tian asked curiously.

"You may not believe it after saying it. This was not done by the Japanese team, but by our Hong Kong filmmakers." Wang Jing smiled proudly.

"Oh?!Really? Then I want to see it." Xia Tian said in surprise when he heard this.

There are not many people in Hong Kong who know how to make special effects. As far as he knows, Xu Ke's New Visual Studio has researched this aspect. If other film companies want to use special effects, they usually come from Japan and the United States to hire special effects teams.

I didn't expect that today I actually saw a talent who could make the scene special effects as good as the Japanese team. That was really a waste of time.

"Okay, I'll invite him to you now." Wang Jing put down the lunch box, wiped his mouth, then got up and ran away.

A moment later, he led a man in his thirties, unshaven and unkemptuous man over.

"Mr. Xia, this is our deputy director - Lan Yucai!" Wang Jing then introduced.

"Lan Fengcai?!" Xia Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had admired this guy for a long time and was in awe.

In his previous life, Lan Zicai was not outstanding among Hong Kong directors, but his special effects production is unique in the Hong Kong film industry and unparalleled.

Although his special effects production is made of steel by local methods and has extremely low investment, the visual effect is very impactful, no less than that of large-scale computer special effects.

For example, he was filmed in "Wesley: The Old Cat" in a cat and dog fight, which was extremely exciting, and even if it was simulated by computer, it might not be possible.

The special effects he produced in the movies "Asura", "People of Peacock", etc. are also quite shocking, not inferior to those of European and American blockbusters at that time.

Especially the movie "The King of Power", which left a shadow of childhood for countless children, is a classic work of Hong Kong CULT films, and it is still terrifying to hear it.

Xia Tian admired Lan Fengcai in his previous life, and felt that he was such an outstanding talent.

In an environment where Hong Kong movies generally do not pay attention to special effects, it is really not easy for him to make so many wonderful special effects films.

If he is given more funds and more opportunities, I wonder what he can make the special effects? Maybe it can compare with the special effects of American blockbusters.

...

So now when I saw him, Xia Tian was very excited. He took the initiative to step forward and held Lan Qicai's hand, "Hello, Director Lan."

"Hello, Mr. Xia!" Lan Feng felt warm in his heart as soon as he saw Xia Tian was so enthusiastic.

"Director Lan, please sit down. I heard from Director Wang that the scenery of this demon cave was designed by you?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Lan Qi nodded, then asked anxiously, "Mr. Xia, do you think I'm making too big and wasting money?"

The entire magic cave’s set cost a total of HK$500,000, which is really expensive. You know, HK$500,000 is enough to save some money, which is enough to make a movie.

The first drama "The Unheard" directed by Jiang Da-kai last year was only HK$500,000. It is indeed a bit of luxury to spend so much on a scene.

"No, no, I'm very satisfied. You get what you pay for. I know the special effects. If you want the picture to be exquisite, you must be willing to spend money." Xia Tian smiled and waved his hand, "I want to praise you, Director Lan, it's amazing! The set you set is so decent, I think you've caught up with the Japanese special effects team. Why, I've learned it before?"

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Lan Qi was relieved after being praised by Xia Tian, ​​then scratched her head and said, "To be honest, Mr. Xia said, I have gone to Japan for further studies, and have also been to the famous Japanese photographer Helanshan."

"So that's it." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

No wonder he had a faint Japanese special film smell when he saw this set, which was indeed the case. But Blue is also very powerful, and he is better than blue than blue. His special effects are comparable to Japanese teams, and he is considered the pride of Hong Kong filmmakers.

"So it's a famous teacher who produces a high disciple." He smiled again.

"Mr. Xia is so polite." Lan Qi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard him say this.

"Director Lan, which company are you with now?" Xia Tian asked with a smile again.

"I... don't have a company for the time being." Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

He used to work at Shaw Brothers. After Shaw Brothers closed, he became a lonely bird.

Although he himself is not short of job opportunities and money to spend with his excellent photography skills, his interest is not in ordinary photography. What he likes is special effects photography, but no company is willing to give him the opportunity.

"Then you come to our company." Xia Tian smiled and invited him.

"Mr. Xia, if you can meet my two conditions, I will consider joining your company." Lan Feng shook his head and said.

"What conditions?" Xia Tian was stunned and asked in confusion.

"First, I hope the company can support me in research and production of special effects; second, I hope the company can invest more to produce special effects films." Lan Feng said.

When Xia Tian heard this, it was just right to match his hope. What does it mean to have a heart of harmony? This is called having a heart of harmony!

After hearing his two conditions, Wang Jing, the "Blue Director", frequently winked at him and asked him to take back those two sentences.

Research and production of special effects requires money, and production of special effects films also requires money. From the market reaction, the returns of special effects films are not high, so it is a thankless thing. Since that is the case, which company is willing to do this?

Lan Zicai is just too twisted and is willing to take his word. Otherwise, with his ability as a Shaw Brothers first-line photographer, why worry that no company is willing to take him in?

Just when he was worried for Lan Qi, Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Okay, I agree to both of you, we will make up for it."

"Really?!" Lan Feng couldn't believe his ears.

Although he is a director and has filmed several dramas, he is also considered the number one character in the film industry, but he has never been highly respected.

First, because he likes to make special effects, he often overspends in filming, which makes the company dissatisfied with him; second, many people are not interested in the special effects and think it is unnecessary.

"Cheng Long, does Hong Jingbao's film have special effects? Other people's films are not the same as the top spot."

"You asked me to invest one million to do special effects. If you have that money, why would I hire two more stars?"

"A special effect costs so much money. I deleted it. I don't want this effect anymore!"

These are a few words he often hears, and he feels a little cold.
