Lin Qingxia has never played a supporting role since her debut.

Although the momentum is declining, it is still the most popular actress in Taiwan. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions are still very popular, and there are countless performance opportunities.

However, now Lin Qingxia only wants to work with a big director to improve herself. She doesn’t want to take on bad movies anymore and overdraw her popularity.

But even if Xia Tian is famous, she still wants to work with him, but it doesn’t mean she is willing to play supporting roles for others, especially the director’s girlfriend. Isn’t that equivalent to letting herself be a stepping stone and letting that person climb up on her?!

Xia Tian was stunned when he saw Lin Qingxia rejecting so simply.

"That...Miss Lin, should I think about it carefully? I brought all the scripts today." He suggested again.

"No need, Mr. Xia. Although I look forward to working with you, I will not accept supporting roles no matter what." Lin Qingxia refused again. If she hadn't been afraid of Xia Tian's current status, she would have thought of getting up and leaving.

"..." Xia Tian saw that she was determined, so she had to nodded. But she didn't agree with her idea of ​​judging success or failure based on the number of roles.

Although many characters have few scenes, their vivid characters and outstanding scenes will also leave a deep impression on the audience; on the contrary, some protagonists, even if they have the most scenes, always wander in front of the audience, can still be snatched away by supporting roles.

For example, in "The True Character of Heroes", the protagonist is actually Di Long, and he acts very well. But Zhou Runfa plays Xiao Ma Ge, who is better than Di Long's role.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll find another opportunity to cooperate in the future." Xia Tian thought for a while.

"Okay." Lin Qingxia also nodded, then stood up and said goodbye, "Mr. Xia, then I'll leave first." Since I can't continue to talk, it would be embarrassing to continue to do it.

"Do I need to drive you?" Xia Tian asked hurriedly.

"No need, there is a reporter outside the door, so it would be bad if they took photos." Lin Qingxia refused.

"Okay, then you go first, I'll sit for another ten minutes." Xia Tian nodded and said.

Lin Qingxia looked at him gratefully and nodded.

...

Not getting Lin Qingxia made Xia Tian feel frustrated and uncomfortable.

After sitting for another ten minutes, Xia Tian was about to check out and leave when he suddenly heard a pager ringing.

I picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Guozhong who was calling him.

He immediately borrowed the hotel phone and called, "Hey, Mr. Zhang, what's the matter with me? Let me tell you, I've just failed once, I hope you can give me good news."

"Is that so, who can make you lose your grief, Mr. Xia?" Zhang Guozhong said with a smile, "It's good news. I've talked to Andy Lau. He is willing to sign a twenty-year film contract. But he hopes to get a little more deposit because he wants to buy a house for his family."

"This is indeed good news. Well, then I will pay half of the deposit first. Two million Hong Kong dollars is enough for him to buy a house in the middle of the mountain." Xia Tian said with a smile.

Two million Hong Kong dollars is enough to buy a thousand-foot luxury house in the Mid-Levels. If it is in the New Territories, it is almost like buying a villa.

"Then I will thank Mr. Xia on behalf of Andy Lau." Zhang Guozhong said happily when he saw Xia Tian so cheerful.

Generally, when film companies pay deposits, they usually pay a quarter first. After joining the group, they will pay a quarter, and before completing the filming, they will pay a quarter. The remaining quarter will not be settled until the movie is released.

Of course, the actors who paid the final payment often could not receive it. Even Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Li Lianjie and others had the experience of being owed a salary. Zhang Guozhong also had the experience of chasing the salary from the film company, but was turned away and almost beaten. Therefore, he was really moved by seeing Xia Tian give half of the deposit and being so generous.

"Then I will take him to your company to sign a contract tomorrow." Zhang Guozhong said hurriedly.

"Then I'll wait for the big trip." Xia Tian smiled.

After making the phone call and paying the bill, the summer is out of the gate of blessing.

"Mr. Xia, is it fun to have dinner with Miss Lin Qingxia? Which dish does she like the most?"

"I just saw Miss Lin seemingly with a dark face. Are you having a quarrel?"

"Have you considered making your relationship public with Miss Lin Qingxia? Are you scared when facing Qin Han and Qin Xianglin's two rivals?"

Several reporters rushed up and asked in a verbal manner.

Xia Tian was stunned.

The hands are short, and the mouth is soft! Unexpectedly, a bowl of crab meat noodles with a hundred Hong Kong dollars cannot block their mouths.

After hearing their questions, they accidentally got into the trap.

"I said, everyone, don't set me a trap, okay? I came here today just for dinner, and it has nothing to do with Miss Lin." Xia Tian said with a smile, and then walked towards his car.

"Oh, I really have a little understanding. Miss Lin said just now that she was here to have a meal. Mr. Xia, you must have unified the argument in advance, right?" the reporter smiled.

"Of course there is nothing." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "I'll ask you to be merciful." After that, he got in the car and drove away.

"Do you think they have a relationship?"

"God knows, I have such a tight mouth, and I can't ask."

"Then will you still report it?"

"I don't even have a photo of it. It would be strange if I believe you! Save it!"

"Hi, a waste of time!"

...

Leaving Fulinmen, Xia Tian drove to the crew of "Detective Chocolate".

"Hey, Mr. Xia, you are here!" Xu Guanwen greeted Xia Tian in surprise.

Since the filming of this drama started, I haven't been there a few times in the summer. But this is better. For him, the less producers come, the better, so as not to interfere with his filming.

"Yes, Mr. Xu. How was the photo taken?" Xia Tian nodded and asked with concern.

"Very good, I think the shooting will be completed in about half a month." Xu Guanwen replied.

Xia Tian was stunned and a little amused.

The drama "Detective Chocolate" has almost no major scenes, mainly literary dramas, and the scripts are already available, so there is no need to use a live bridge. It is logical that it should be very good to shoot. If it were filmed in summer, it would probably be done in half a month at most.

However, Xu Guanwen is really too strict with the film. His purpose is to either not shoot it, and to shoot it, you must shoot it well. Therefore, it frequently NG, which also leads to frequent transition of the finishing time.

"Mr. Xu, can you speed up the time appropriately? I'm going to take your drama to Japan to try the waters." Xia Tian said with a smile.

Xu Guanwen was stunned and said in surprise, "Wow, Mr. Xia, you are really a newborn calf and are not afraid of tigers. It is difficult to enter the Japanese market. Do you already have channels?"

He spent a while in Jiahe and knew that Jiahe could open up the Japanese market at the time, thanks to the relationship between Zou Wenhuai and Kawakita Nagamasa, as well as the kung fu superstar Bruce Lee.

But Bruce Lee is an irreplicable legend, and even Cheng Long can hardly replace his position. Xia Tian has no deep connections in Japan, so it is more difficult to open up the Japanese market than to climb to the sky.

"Not yet, but I have arranged someone to contact several major Japanese film dealers, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with them." Xia Tian shook his head and said.

He had already instructed Manager Liu Weihong of the distribution department to contact Japanese film dealers two days ago, but there has been no news yet, so it seems that it is not easy.

"Then wait and see. Not to mention anything else, your courage to explore is still worthy of encouragement." Xu Guanwen said with a smile.

Now, except for Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, few film companies in Hong Kong dare to explore foreign markets. For example, Xinyi City has always been staunch and only cared about the three markets of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Nanyang. Not to mention the United States, Europe, South America, and even Japan and South Korea, which are separated by a sea, they have not thought about going to explore.

In comparison, Xia Tian’s company has just been established for half a year and dared to enter the Japanese market. Even if it is not successful, it is a commendable courage to try.

Xia Tian also smiled, "I won't talk about this anymore. I'm here today, mainly to find Brother Ying for something."

"Okay, then I'll call him over." Xu Guanwen said.

Xu Guanying was resting on the side. When she heard the elder brother's summons, she immediately ran over, "Hey, Ah Tian, ​​you are here!" He smiled.

The two worked together in "Mr. Zombie" and they met day and night, and naturally had a good relationship.

"Brother Ying, there is a character I want to invite you to play." Xia Tian said straight to the point.

"Okay, what role?" Xu Guanying smiled.

"This character needs you to play with a woman, and in the end you will be strong and raped men." Xia Tian first put out the most troublesome things. He didn't want to use despicable means such as coaxing and deceit to hire actors.

"Wow!" Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanying both screamed in surprise.

"This character is so unlucky." Both of them said unanimously.

"How is it, Brother Ying, do you dare to try it?" Xia Tian smiled, "I can guarantee that it will be outstanding."

In the original "Best Bad Friend", it is no exaggeration to say that the most outstanding one is the heartthrob played by Ng Junru. On the contrary, the protagonists Andy Lau, Qiu Shuzhen and Chen Yulian basically have no room for performance, but they are just responsible for being handsome and acting as vases. According to the sketch king Chen Peisi, "No matter whether the protagonist and supporting role are on the stage, they have to see who has a play!"

When Xu Guanying heard him say this, she showed a look of eagerness to try on her face.

To be honest, he really wants to get out of the shadow of his elder brother Xu Guanwen and younger brother Xu Guanjie and show his talents. If this role is really outstanding, he doesn't mind cross-dressing with women.

Anyway, he had already played the cross-dressing in Deng Lijun's MV "The Little Wife Returns to My Parent's Home" before, and he also received a lot of praise.

"Brother, what do you think?" Xu Guanying turned her head and asked. Although he wanted to act, because he had always lacked confidence, he still wanted to ask his elder brother's opinion before agreeing.

"I think you can give it a try." Xu Guanwen nodded. With Xia Tian's fame and status, he would not suffer any loss in cooperating with him.

As for cross-dressing women or forced men, this is not a problem. As long as the plot requires it and the audience is happy, that's fine.

"Yeah." Seeing that the elder brother agreed, Xu Guanying nodded immediately and agreed.
Chapter completed!
