I was very happy to see Kwan Jinpeng agree to film "Love Letter" together in summer because he is one of the directors in Hong Kong who knows the best way to shoot female dramas. For example, "Woman's Heart", "Rouge", "White Rose Red Rose", "Ruan Lingyu", etc., they are all very classic art films, and have made many actresses famous. With his help this time, the "Love Letter" drama is even more icing on the cake.

"Very good, then you go back and prepare. We will lead the team to Japan in a few days." Xia Tian said immediately.

"Go to Japan?!" Guan Jinpeng was stunned, "Mr. Xia, my "Woman's Heart" is in post-production, and now I can't live without me."

"It doesn't matter, you can work on the movie "Woman's Heart". After you finish the later stage, you will rush to Japan to meet us. The same is true." Xia Tian nodded and said.

For directors, every movie is like their own child. Post-production is the time when children grow up, so of course they don’t want to be absent. That’s the reason why James Cameron even sneaked into the editing room to edit the movies he edited.

Xia Tian is also a director himself, so of course he can understand Guan Jinpeng’s ideas.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Guan Jinpeng was relieved when he heard Xia Tian say this.

...

After Guan Jinpeng left, Xia Tian picked up the phone again and prepared to call Lin Qingxia, asking her if she had any thoughts and whether she would like to take on the movie "Love Letter".

But as soon as she picked up the phone, Xia Tian froze again.

Because Lin Qingxia has rejected him twice, the last time she invited her to film "Best Bad Friend", she didn't agree to the role because she was young. This time she invited her to star in "Love Letter", she knew she wanted to work with Hu Huizhong, so she had to spend some more time to invite her. It would be not enough to just call her.

"By the way, as the saying goes, 'It's better to provoke the generals than to be a general.' It's better to wait until "The King of Kings" is released and Huizhong's popularity will come together, and I don't believe that Lin Qingxia is not nervous." Xia Tian's eyes lit up.

Lin Qingxia has always had a knot about Hu Huizhong. Because the two had competed in Taiwan before, and then went to Taiwan to develop one after another. Judging from the current situation, Lin Qingxia is still better than Hu Huizhong because she just retired two years ago and hid in the United States to treat her feelings, so her career was a little stagnant.

In comparison, Hu Huizhong has taken on many movies and has always had a high exposure rate. Especially last year, "The Fortune Stars" collaborated with Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long and Yuanbiao, which achieved a box office of 30 million, which also made the Overlord Flower starring her even more popular. Now, she is the leader and the action film "The Overlord Flower" starring her will be released. If you achieve another success, Xia Tian doesn't believe that Lin Qingxia will not be nervous.

At that time, she will definitely hope to take on a heavyweight movie, and she will basically not be able to find anyone else to help in Hong Kong except herself.

Xinyi City is still in an internal strife, and it is not easy to regain its popularity. Jiahe has never known how to shoot women's movies, and he relies on comedy and action movies to conquer the world. As for other small and medium-sized film companies, he can't count on it. Xia Tian doesn't believe that any company's movies are better than his own "Love Letter".

"Yes, let's talk to her after "Battle Flower" is released." Xia Tian decided to say.

...

In the afternoon, Xia Tian brought Chen Yixin to Lan Kwai Fong to find a suitable venue for the performance venue.

"Brother Tian, ​​how large do you want?" Chen Yixin asked.

"It must be able to accommodate four or five hundred people." Xia Tian thought for a while.

At the beginning, Xia Tian didn't think about how big it was. In fact, with his financial strength, it would be easy to build a venue that accommodates thousands of people. But the key is that there is such a large venue, but there may not be so many listeners.

In a venue that can accommodate 500 people, two hundred people standing can appear very lively. But if these two hundred people are placed in a venue that can accommodate 1,000 people, it will appear deserted.

When listening to a celebrity concert, the most important thing is the atmosphere. Everyone cheers and screams together, which is satisfying. Otherwise, it would be better to listen to records at home. Small venues are more likely to stir up the atmosphere.

Furthermore, if the experiment is successful here, prove that your method is feasible, and it will be too late to open a branch at that time.

When Chen Yixin heard Xia Tian say this, he nodded and helped him find it.

The two walked twice on the "L"-shaped road in Lan Kwai Fong, and finally chose the first floor of Longhua Building. This place is now a Western-style restaurant, just around the middle corner of Lan Kwai Fong, with an excellent location. It is large enough to accommodate four or five hundred spectators.

"This is a good restaurant." Xia Tian smiled with satisfaction.

"Then I'll go and invite the store to come and ask him how much it costs to sell it." Chen Yixin immediately acted, and then asked the waiter to call the manager.

After a while, the manager came to the front and was a foreigner in his forties.

"Hello, two gentlemen, do you have any requirements?" he asked with a polite smile.

Chen Yixin nodded, "How much does it cost to transfer your Western restaurant?"

"What?" The ghost guy was stunned when he heard this. He thought Xia Tian and the others were going to order food, but he didn't expect that they would actually propose to buy his store, which was beyond his expectations.

Chen Yixin repeated the words again, "We want to acquire your store, but I don't know how much you plan to open."

The ghost guy shook his head vigorously, "No, no, this store is my hard work, I won't sell it no matter how much it costs."

"Hey, don't be so mean. If you offer a price, we won't treat you badly." Chen Yixin said with a smile when he saw him objection.

"No, no, no, I won't sell it no matter how much money I give you. Please go out, my store doesn't welcome you." The ghost guy said excitedly.

Seeing this, Xia Tian waved his hand to Chen Yixin and signaled not to speak again. Then he said to the boss, "Don't be excited first, we have no malice, everyone has something to talk about. Let me introduce myself first. I am Xia Tian, ​​this is my good brother Chen Yixin."

"I recognize you, you are Xia Tian." The ghost nodded and said, "I am Sheng Zhiwen. But I don't know why you wanted to buy my store?"

"Are you Sheng Zhiwen?" Xia Tian was stunned.

Sheng Zhiwen is known as the "father of Lan Kwai Fong". He opened the first Western restaurant in Lan Kwai Fong at that time, which attracted many foreigners to come here to consume and eventually led to the prosperity of Lan Kwai Fong today.

Sheng Zhiwen was therefore called the "father of Lan Kwai Fong". Many newspapers and magazines rushed to report him, and he was also considered a well-known figure in Hong Kong.

Xia Tian didn't expect that he would meet Sheng Zhiwen unexpectedly today. It was really fate.

"Hello, Mr. Sheng, I have been recognizing Daming for a long time." He smiled and said, "The reason why I wanted to buy this store is mainly because I value its area and geographical location. I want to buy it and change it into a performance venue to promote original music in Hong Kong." Xia Tian explained with a smile.

Sheng Zhiwen nodded, knowing that a few days ago, she had just held a singing competition, which caused a sensation in the whole city. On the day of the final, even the bars in Lan Kwai Fong were broadcasting the event live because some bands went out from Lan Kwai Fong.

"I admire Mr. Xia, your contribution to Hong Kong's original music, but there are many places in Hong Kong that can hold performance venues. Why did you choose Lan Kwai Fong?" Sheng Zhiwen asked in confusion.

"Mr. Sheng, I know you have the reputation of "Father of Lan Kwai Fong". The fact that you can have today is also built by you brick by brick. I admire you very much." Xia Tian said with a smile, "But to be honest, Lan Kwai Fong is good in everything, but it is just lacking one thing."

"What?" Sheng Zhiwen asked in confusion.

"Cultural heritage." Xia Tian said the truth.

"The place is full of lights and wine, with red and green men and women, and having fun. It is indeed the first lively place. But this kind of prosperity is too frivolous and has no depth. As far as I know, many people regard this place as the best place for hunting and romance, and think that the girls here are more low-key and open than the rich dancers."

"Mr. Sheng, you built Lan Kwai Fong brick by brick. You don't want it to be like this in people's hearts. You don't want it to give the impression of foreign tourists. The girls here are very open and easy to soak, they are all EASYGIRL, right?"

When Sheng Zhiwen heard Xia Tian say this, he couldn't help but feel silent, knowing that what Xia Tian said is the truth.

Most of the people who visit Lan Kwai Fong are urban white-collar workers. They are more Westernized and open to their feelings. In addition, the stimulation of alcohol, so it is inevitable that the sky will thunder will cause fire.

In the evening, if you take a casual walk in Lan Kwai Fong, you can see the intimate men and women who are no one around in public, and even fight in the toilet or alley. Therefore, Lan Kwai Fong is regarded as the "red light district" in Hong Kong and its reputation is not very good.

"But if there is such a performance venue, it would be different. At that time, original music singers in Hong Kong will perform here, and this place will become a music holy place. They will not only bring a large number of fans to Lan Kwai Fong, but also make Lan Kwai Fong a name." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Isn't this a win-win situation?"

When Sheng Zhiwen heard Xia Tian say this, he couldn't help but nodded. He also knew that in order to make Lan Kwai Fong win the favor of more tourists, he must reverse its image in people's minds and take off the hat of "Red Light District". Because the title of "Red Light District" can certainly attract a group of salty and wet men, but it also discourages many ordinary tourists.

To change Lan Kwai Fong, it is impossible to rely solely on Lan Kwai Fong’s own internal reforms, and it also requires external power. It is a very good idea to set up a performance venue here for original singers to perform here.

"Okay, I agree to give this store to you, but this store is not mine, you have to discuss it with the owner." Sheng Zhiwen nodded and agreed.

"It's not yours, you'll say it earlier. It's a waste of saliva by our brother Tian!" Chen Yixin couldn't help cursing when he heard this.

"Oh, Mr. Sheng has already given a big gift to be able to agree to give up the store." Xia Tian smiled, "Thank you Mr. Sheng for your support!"
