1336 [Hong Jingbao's successor]
After hearing Xia Tian’s recommendation, Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei were stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Liu Qingyun is an ATV actor who has become famous in the past year. The starring "Serious Case Chase" once hit 90% of the ratings, causing a sensation throughout the city.
"The Unheard" he collaborated with David Kang last year, also shortlisted for several awards at this year's Academy Awards and showed very mature acting skills. It is very appropriate for him to play the male lead in the play.
Wang Shixian is the first-line actress in Hong Kong's film industry today. She starred in "A Chinese Ghost Story" last year, which made her popular throughout East Asia. She is the one who plays the beautiful, charming, cute, savage and domineering heroine, which seems quite suitable.
"You all agree, that's the best." Xia Tian nodded and then instructed, "Then hurry up and start filming, and strive to be released during the Christmas period."
Liu Zhenwei was not worried because Grape has always been a quick knife player. He had finished filming the classic comedy "Everything is the best", which made people laugh. It took him less than a month to finish filming the classic comedy, and the speed was first-class.
However, it is hard to say that Wang Jiawei is the one who likes to delay filming the most. One movie "East Evil and West Poison" has been filmed for nearly two years, one movie "2046" has been filmed for five years, and the other movie "The Grandmaster" has taken ten years from preparation to release, and it is jokingly called "a generation missing".
Of course, he is not too fast. He completed the filming of the classic "Chongqing Forest" in just 23 days.
Summer doesn't want this movie "My Savage Girlfriend" to be filmed for a year or two, which will cost money and delay the schedule. He hopes that this romantic and touching pure love film can be released during the Christmas period. At the least, it will be released during the Spring Festival period and cannot be delayed any further.
"Okay, Mr. Xia." Liu Zhenwei nodded.
"Then go down and prepare." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.
...
After Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei left, Xia Tian continued to write his own script. Now the only one left is "The Courtship Squad" that has not been finished.
He quickly wrote from morning to afternoon, and just stopped for lunch. In terms of diligence, he was also the only one among Hong Kong rich people.
Just as I was writing vigorously, the phone ring suddenly rang.
Xia Tian picked it up and heard it, but it was Hong Jingbao called it.
"Ah Tian, are you busy?" he asked with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Hong, are writing something." Xia Tian smiled, "Why, is there anything wrong with me?"
"That's right. Didn't you tell me to find a successor that day? I carefully screened it and finally found a suitable one." Hong Jingbao explained, "When do you have time, come and help me check it?"
"Let's do it this way, just tonight." Xia Tian thought for a while.
He should be able to handle the script "Mourning Suicide Squad" before he got off work in the afternoon. It just happened to be fine in the evening, so he could meet Hong Jingbao.
"Then it's settled, Tongfulou Restaurant, I'll wait for you there at seven o'clock." Hong Jingbao said happily when he saw Xia Tian agreeing.
Xia Tian smiled and agreed, then hung up the phone.
"The successor of Hong Jingbao?! I don't know who it is." He then thought again, "Yuan Hua, Menghai or Dong Wei?"
In Xia Tian's opinion, although the Hong family class is full of talents, to be honest, there are not many male stars who can make it famous. The reason is that they are all too ugly.
Like Chen Long, Curry, Taibao, Wuma, Yuan Hua, Zhongfa, etc., they are all ugly men without exception. Therefore, even if they have high skills, it is difficult for the audience to buy it.
Because the male protagonists of kung fu movies are generally set by heroes, such as Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan, etc. Not to mention how beautiful they are, they must at least have to have a straight facial features and a righteous body to make people feel convinced. Like the Hong family members, they all look crooked and distorted, and they are definitely villains. Who would believe in playing heroes?
In his opinion, Dong Wei is more pleasing to the eye, and if he is willing to promote it, he may become famous. However, as far as he knows, Dong Wei seems to have not been following Hong Jingbao since the past two years. He is working as a martial arts coach outside and is doing well. He may not be able to return to the Hong family class to develop again.
Therefore, it is really hard to figure out who Hong Jingbao wants to praise this time.
"Forget it, I don't think so much, I'll know after a while." Xia Tian then shook his head, cleared his distracting thoughts, and continued to write the script.
...
In the evening, he took a bus to Tongfulou.
"Mr. Xia, welcome, welcome! Senior brother is waiting for you upstairs, please, please!" As soon as the car was parked, Yuan Hua, a brother of the Hong family who was guarding the door, walked over quickly, helped Xia Tian open the car door, and said with a smile.
"Okay, please, please." Xia Tian smiled and then stepped upstairs.
Yuan Hua followed along with each other. Seeing Xia Tian’s dragon walking and tiger walking, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
Just three years ago, Xia Tian was a poor boy who was nothing and had to flatter Hong Jingbao to debut. At that time, he didn't even take him seriously.
But now, he is a super rich man with a net worth of 10 billion yuan, and even Hong Jingbao is going to curry favor with him. He is no longer taken seriously by others. Things in the world are unpredictable, and the situation in life is really amazing.
"Oh, it would be great if I had a good relationship with him at the beginning, wouldn't I be able to benefit from it now?" Yuan Hua sighed as he walked, "But why are you talking about these things now? It would be too late."
"Brother Hua, why are you sighing?" Xia Tian turned his head and asked.
"Ah, nothing, I'm really envious when I see Mr. Xia, you are now so successful." Yuan Hua waved his hand awkwardly and smiled.
"You're welcome. Actually, Brother Hua, you're not bad either. I heard that this time I played the big boss in "Oriental Vulture" and performed very well!" Xia Tian said with a smile.
Although Yuan Hua is also one of the seven little blessings, he is not able to be the protagonist because of his weird appearance. He can only play some thugs, little villains, etc., and he is not even qualified to be a big villain.
However, in this "Oriental Vulture", he finally got the addiction to being a big villain and played a South Vietnam master with excellent martial arts skills, and performed well.
Xia Tian also knew that Yuan Hua had potential to dig. He has good kung fu. He has been a Bruce Lee stand-in and has shown his skills in many movies. He is a first-class one.
His acting skills are actually good, and he has won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Academy Awards. He is also very funny. He has performed well with "The Successor of the Dragon" and "Kung Fu" with Zhou Xingchi, and "Modern Tathagata Palm" with Liu Dehua.
In his previous life, he filmed several TV series on TVB, such as "The Sky of Tai O", "Tea Is Strong Hometown", "The Investiture of the Gods", etc., and they all have good reputations.
Therefore, if you cultivate it carefully, even if you can’t become a first-tier star, it will be fine to be a second-tier star.
