1868 [Little Man Weekly]

Xia Tian then told Wang Jingting the story of "God of Gambling".

Although the story of "God of Gambling" was written by Wang Jing, it was Xiang Huasheng's creativity. Xiang Huasheng saw a short story from a story book, telling the story of a Glory of Gambling, and thus got inspiration.

He immediately found Wang Jing and wanted to adapt the story. The creation process of the two was like this. Wang Jing was responsible for compiling the story and Xiang Huasheng was responsible for appreciating it. Whenever Wang Jing thought of a plot, he would ask Xiang Huasheng for his opinions. Xiang Huasheng thought it was appropriate, and if it was not appropriate, Wang Jing thought about it again. The two thought about it overnight and finally wrote the story of "God of Gambling".

Xia Tian now tells Wang Jing this story, without any concern about crashing a car.

After listening to it, Wang Jing was very impressed.

"Mr. Xia, your story is really great. In terms of talent, I can't catch up with you." He praised him with a thumbs up.

Both of them write scripts, and in summer, he can write more than ten scripts every year, and each of them is wonderful. In comparison, although he can write so many scripts, he has many mediocre and few excellent ones, and the gap is very obvious.

"Don't say that, I'm just standing on the shoulders of the giant." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.

In terms of real talent, he is worse than Wang Jing.

Since his freshman year, Wang Jing was introduced by his father Wang Tianlin. He joined the TVB TVB's "Happy Tonight" program team to do odd jobs and write jokes and short dramas for the program team. In the first week, he had already written several jokes and an eight-minute short drama, which shows his talent.

But you have talent, I have plug-ins. The memories of summer that are ahead of him for thirty years have given him an unrivaled advantage in "creation". Even the most outstanding genius, you can't compare with him.

Seeing Xia Tian say this, Wang Jing thought he was modest and respected him more and more.

"Okay, since you think this story is good, then write it out. As for the actors, the god of gambling Gao Jin will be played by Zhou Runfa, Daozi will be played by Liu Dehua, Gao Jin's wife Jenny will be played by Wen Bixia. Daozi's girlfriend Azhen will be played by Zhou Huimin." Xia Tian thought for a while and said.

In the original version, Jenny was starring Zhang Min, and she died in less than five minutes in total. Although Ah Zhen, played by Wang Qixian, has many shots, she missed the two most important dramas (hospital gunfights and casino ship duels), the importance of the role has been greatly reduced.

Zhang Min and Wang Weixian are still going to film "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". One of them plays Ren Yingying and the other plays junior sister, both are very important roles. So there is no need to ignore the other and take on these two less important roles, so you can just give it to Wen Bixia and Zhou Huimin.

After hearing this, Wang Jing nodded with a smile.

After listening to Xia Tian’s story, the image of “God of Gambling” that emerged in his mind was created by Zhou Runfa. Among so many male stars in Hong Kong today, only Zhou Runfa can afford the title of “God”.

Because Zhou Runfa is tall and handsome, with a hint of elegance and nobility, he is a natural king. In comparison, although Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Xu Guanjie, Wan Ziliang and others are not inferior to him, their momentum is still weaker.

As for Liu Dehua, Wen Bixia, Zhou Huimin, etc., although they have many roles, this movie mainly depends on the god of gambling. So they can choose whatever they want, and there is no need to think about it.

"Then it's decided, hurry up and write the script. After I've seen it, I'll shoot this movie." Xia Tian said with a smile.

Wang Jing nodded and then stepped back.

...

After Wang Jing left, Xia Tian looked through the script brought by Chen Jiashang and finally chose the drama "The Little Man's Weekly Diary" instead of "The City Judge".

"City Judge" tells the story of two brothers who joined the police force, who were retaliated by the bandits who were caught before, and their families were destroyed. After a hard fight, they successfully took revenge.

In general, this story is very rough and very routine. It is not inconsistent to change the times to ancient times and to change these two people into knights. They were revenge by the devil because of their righteousness. Finally, after a hard fight, they killed the devil and successfully took revenge.

So Xia Tian didn't like such mediocre works at all, so he directly rejected them. In comparison, "The Little Man's Weekly Diary" is much more exciting.

"The Weekly Diary of Little Man" tells the story of the little man Liang Kuan and the strong woman A'an who have been married for seven years and have been unhappy with each other. Finally, the two agreed to separate. After the separation, Liang Kuan met many beautiful women and fell in love with many beauties one after another. However, A'an's career gradually fell into a trough... but in the end, both found that their favorite was still each other, so they got back together again.

"The Little Man's Weekly Diary" was actually a popular radio drama on Hong Kong Commercial Radio. Because it vividly describes the ways of getting along with urban men and women, it has been well received by the audience. Zheng Danrui, one of the leading actors, has become a well-known radio station DJ and is regarded as a representative of the urban yuppie family.

Chen Jiashang realized the beauty of this radio drama, so he adapted it into a movie script with his brother Chen Qingjia.

"Director Chen, this script is adapted quite well. I think it can be invested in filming." Xia Tian smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Chen Jiashang was relieved when he heard this. He was still worried that neither script could catch Xia's eyes.

"You have to be polite. The rest of "City Judge" is innovative, but not exciting enough. I think you can work harder on the position of the male protagonist's 'negotiation expert'. This profession seems to have not been filmed yet, so you can try it." Xia Tian said again.

Negotiating experts are one of the most important police types in the Hong Kong police force, but they have always been rarely brought to the screen. However, the serious crime team, the Flying Tigers, and undercover are often photographed.

The reason for this is that this position is verbal and will not easily do anything. It is not as popular as the Crime Team and the Flying Tigers. It is not as deep as the Undercover films as the film is made into a drama film. It is not as deep as the undercover films. Therefore, the position is that grandma doesn’t love it and uncles don’t love it.

But in Xia Tian's opinion, the position of negotiating expert actually has quite the potential for adaptation. He watched "Negotiation Expert" filmed by wireless in his previous life, and he felt that the TV series was very exciting.

A negotiating expert who can talk freely in the face of criminals and turn war into jade, but in life, the relationship between husband and wife is broken and they are not harmonious with their family. He is quite successful in his career, but extremely unsatisfactory in life. Such a contradictory character is actually very artistic. If you portray it carefully, you may not be able to make a wonderful drama.

Of course, this is just a theory. To really make a good film, it takes a lot of time to study this position and polish the story.

When Chen Jiashang heard Xia Tian say this, he nodded. To be honest, he also thought the script of "City Judge" was average, but because it was written by his apprentice, he showed it to Xia Tian.

"I have written down Mr. Xia's opinion." He said, "I will think about it carefully after I go back."

"Well. By the way, in the drama "Little Man's Weekly Diary", the male lead is still played by Zheng Danrui, and the female lead A'an, I think Hu Huizhong is good. Mrs. Lin can consider playing by Chung Chuhong, and I think Ye Yuqing is good for her first love girlfriend." Xia Tian then said.

After hearing this, Chen Jiashang nodded, "It's up to you."
