The fifth thing is that Japan's Square Games has completed the final test of "Street Fighter" and will be packaged and launched soon.

Masashi Miyamoto sent an invitation letter, hoping that if summer has time, he would come to Japan in person to help promote it.

Xia Tian is very popular in Japan and is a martial arts master. He will promote this game and will definitely achieve very good sales.

However, although he was full of sincerity, Xia Tian still refused cruelly. Now he is mainly focused on acquiring Columbia-Samsung Films, and he really has no extra energy to go to Japan to promote the "Street Fighter" game.

In addition to the above five things, there are nearly a hundred other things, so there is no need to repeat them.

After watching all of summer, it was almost time to get off work.

Although his eyes were dry, his shoulders were sore, and his waist was stiff, he was in a very good mood. Because he had been reading it just now, he was in a very good mood when he saw that the company's various businesses were thriving.

"Haaa" Xia Tian stretched out his long and prepared to get off work early to see Lin Qingxia. She hasn't seen her for a long time, and she is also very worried about her.

At this moment, the phone ringing suddenly rang, "Boss, Director Wang Jing wants to see you!" After pressing the answer button, Secretary Sandy asked for instructions.

"Please come in." Xia Tian was stunned and then said.

Then the door opened, Wang Jing walked in from outside and greeted respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Xia!"

"Director Wang, please sit down" Xia Tian smiled, "Drink tea or coffee?"

"No need, no need, I came here to ask Mr. Xia, you can read my new script." Wang Jing waved his hand quickly.

"Oh, I'm going to make a new film so soon? Why don't you take two more days off?" Xia Tian was stunned and said with a smile.

Wang Jing is a workaholic, filming movies is like having a life-threatening job. At most, he filmed eleven movies a year. On average, he could shoot one movie in a month, which was simply an iron man.

After filming "Bigui Catching", he said he would take a break for a while. Unexpectedly, he was just two months old and immediately wanted to tinker with his new work, and he was really idle.

"I haven't rested anymore, I've had enough rest." Wang Jing smiled.

After filming "Biggage", he specially accompanied his family to a luxurious European tour. Britain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy... After a walk, I was enjoying myself in the mountains and rivers.

Of course, the money was spent like flowing water. After walking around this circle, he spent two million yuan. When he was having fun, he was in a hurry and didn't think too much. He realized that his flesh was hurt after going home. So he immediately thought about a script and wanted to fill the gap. He heard the news that Xia Tian was back, so he immediately showed it to him.

"Oh, it seems that European luxury tours are really fun." Xia Tian smiled.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, you really should go and have time to go and have a look. It's really beautiful there." Wang Jing nodded with a smile, "If my roots weren't in Hong Kong, I would have wanted to live there for a long time and stay there."

"Is that right?" Xia Tian smiled and took over Wang Jing's script. When he saw the name, he was stunned. He saw three big words written on the cover - "Hong Xiguan"!

...

It is hard to say whether Hong Xiguan was really a good person in ancient times, but there are many folk stories about him in Fujian and Guangdong.

Legend has it that he was one of the founders of Hong Quan. He once studied martial arts in Shaolin Temple, and was known as the Ten Tigers of Shaolin with Fang Shiyu, Hu Huigan, Lu Acai and others. Later, he led the civil armed forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. He was a well-known national hero.

His story was also brought to the screen early. In the 1940s, the Hong Kong film industry had already filmed "Hong Xi Official Splashed in Liujia Village", "Fang Shiyu Yi Rescue Hong Xi Official", "Wing Chun Sanniang and Hong Xi Official", "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xi Official", etc.

Although the influence of Hong Xiguan movies is not as good as that of the Huang Feihong series, it can be regarded as a household IP with the potential for adaptation.

Xia Tian still remembers that Wang Jing made a movie called "Hong Xiguan", also known as "The Five Ancestors of the New Shaolin". The movie was starring Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie and the beautiful Qiu Shuzhen. Although the story is a little weaker, the fight is quite exciting, and it can be called a very classic martial arts film.

I just don’t know if the current version of "Hong Xiguan" is the same as the previous life.

Xia Tian thought about it, opened the script and started reading it carefully.

After reading the whole article, he knew it.

This version of "Hong Xiguan" is almost the same as the previous version. It is a story about Hong Xiguan's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, rescuing the Five Patriarchs of Shaolin, and killing the traitor Ma Ning'er.

However, there are still differences in the details. In the original version, Ma Ninger fell into the wax pond and was cast into a wax figure. However, in this version, he was pressed into a meat pie by a steam engine.

"Hey, this villain's way of dying is quite new." Xia Tian smiled.

"Yes, I learned from the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster "Terminator"." Wang Jing smiled and explained, "That Ma Ninger was invulnerable and could not even kill him. She was very similar to the T-800 in "Terminator". So I set this ending for him according to the T-800's death method."

"Smart!" Xia Tian couldn't help but smile and nodded when he heard this.

He remembered that in the original version of "Hong Xiguan", Ma Ninger's death in the wax melting pool seemed to be a reference to "Terminator 2".

The original version of "Hong Xiguan" was a work in the 1990s. At that time, "Terminator 2" was released and was the most sensational science fiction film at that time. Its global box office of 516 million US dollars, and it was the box office champion of that year.

Hong Kong filmmakers who always like to follow the trend certainly would not miss this classic, so the parody of "Terminator 2" became popular at that time.

Zhou Xingchi once spoofed "Terminator 2" in "92 Family Has Happy Events" and "King of Destruction". The king spirit, who has always liked to follow the trend, was no exception. He used elements of "Terminator 2" in "Hong Xiguan" and "False School Viagra 2".

"Terminator 2" has not been filmed yet, but "Terminator 1" has been filmed. Although the box office is not as shocking as the sequel, it is also a very popular science fiction film and is very popular among movie fans.

Especially the T-800, who is not killed by fighting, is cruel and ruthless, and is determined to hunt the heroine, is even more arrogant and cool, leaving an extremely deep impression on people.

Therefore, when Wang Jing wrote about the same unbeaten and unbeaten Ma Ning, he borrowed the death method of T-800 in "Terminator" when he was a child.

...

"Mr. Xia, do you think my script is OK?" Wang Jing asked with a smile again.

"It's not bad. But who are you going to invite to act in this drama?" Xia Tian asked.

"Mr. Xia, in the first half of the year, did you sign Li Lianjie, the most popular martial arts star in the mainland? I think it is more appropriate to have him play it." Wang Jing said quickly.

Seven years ago, "Shaolin Temple" starring Li Lianjie was once very popular. It was not only very popular in the mainland, but also achieved extremely high box office in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and other places.

Kung Fu kid Li Lianjie became a hit and became a big star in East Asia. Unfortunately, the film industry in the mainland was not developed and the subsequent works did not immediately keep up. After Li Lianjie became famous for two or three years, he gradually became out of date because he did not release good works again.

If Xia Tian hadn't signed him back to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong film industry would have long forgotten this once popular kung fu star.

"Well, he is quite suitable. Who are you going to invite to play the heroine?" Xia Tian asked curiously again.

"Would you please ask Miss Wang Qixian to act?" Wang Jing asked.

"Xiaoxian?!" Xia Tian was stunned.

Hongdou, the heroine in "Hong Xiguan", is a pretty, beautiful, and a bit funny girl. The original version was played by the great beauty Qiu Shuzhen, but it is not inappropriate to replace Wang Xiaoxian to play it now.

"But Xiaoxian is too tall. They both stand together and don't look like lovers at all." Xia Tian frowned.

The official report of Wang Qixian's height is 1.72 meters. In fact, Xia Tian knew that her true height was 1.75 meters. Although Li Lianjie's height did not know the exact number, it was only 1.6 meters. The difference was ten centimeters, and the woman was taller than the man.

If they really play together, Li Lianjie will be made like a short man, and how can he be called a hero? Should Wang Xian be short and filming every day? Or should he make Li Lianjie three inches taller?

"I haven't considered this." Wang Jing blinked when he heard this, "Mr. Xia, is it really much different? Should I try the style first? What if I do it?"

"In my opinion, let's forget it. Don't let Xiaoxian play it. I'll recommend another candidate for you." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Have you seen Zhang Min, who just starred in "Hardcover Girls 2" and became popular? What do you think of her?"

"Zhang Min?!" Wang Jing was stunned. He was really not familiar with her. Because he had just returned from a trip to Europe.

"The "Hardcover Girls 2" starring her now is still being screened, so you can go and see her. I think she is pretty, she is also willing to endure hardships. Most girls can't shoot fighting scenes, but I know she can." Xia Tian suggested again.

"Since Mr. Xia said it was OK, it must be impossible to be wrong." Seeing Xia Tian recommending Zhang Min so strongly, Wang Jing suddenly lit up his eyes and said with a smile.

In fact, he is not picky about celebrities, and he will use whoever is famous. Although he cannot let actors perform their best acting skills, he can make them contribute qualified performances.

Since Zhang Min was recommended by Xia Tian, ​​he must have something to do with him. Since that's the case, then use it yourself. Anyway, who is not using it?

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded and then said, "In addition, I suggest Ye Dexian plays the thief and Wu Mengda plays the sage man."

"I think it's possible, too." Wang Jing nodded, very satisfied with both characters.
