536 [Knife and horse once finished]
Xia Tian was stunned when he heard that Mai Jia promoted Lin Lingdong to film "The Legend of Dragon and Tiger".
This movie in his previous life was Zhou Runfa's representative work. He won the Best Actor at the 7th Academy Awards for this film, and also won the Best Actor at the 6th Academy Awards for "The True Heroes", becoming the only star to win the Best Actor at the Lianzhuang Film Awards for the Film Awards, and was in the limelight.
But now Zhou Runfa is in his own hands. Can Lin Lingdong repeat the glory of his previous life without this box office elixir?! In addition to Zhou Runfa, there are still people in Hong Kong who can play the role of Gao Qiu, who is struggling between justice and evil, loyalty and law, and are in a dilemma and worrying about gains and losses?! Xia Tian is deeply suspicious of this!
But when the list of actors in "The Dragon and Tiger" was leaked, Xia Tian was extremely impressed when he saw it. Although Zhou Runfa was gone, Lin Lingdong chose Wan Ziliang.
Wan Ziliang is also an actor with excellent acting skills, and his temperament is both good and evil. Whether he is righteous, or a despicable and dirty bastard, he can play the role of Shishi.
Lin Lingdong chose him as much as Zhou Runfa. However, Wan Ziliang's box office appeal is still a little worse than Zhou Runfa. But given that there is no one available in Xinyi City, it can only be difficult.
Through this incident, Xia Tian knew that he could not underestimate the intelligence and talent of Hong Kong filmmakers. Even if he had a forward-looking vision and won over so many first-line stars, he could still find suitable talents to replace them. Therefore, he must not slackew, otherwise he would be turned over by others if he accidentally did.
"Then should I shoot "Prison Storm" and "School Storm" first?" Xia Tian suddenly thought.
These two movies are both well-known and popular. Together with "Dragon, Tiger, Storm and Cloud", they are called the "Storm and Cloud" trilogy.
But after thinking about it again, Xia Tian gave up this idea. He is not short of the box office brought by those two movies, nor is he short of the fame brought by those two movies.
However, if these two movies were filmed by Lin Lingdong, there would be an excellent director in Hong Kong. It would be very beneficial to the development of Hong Kong's films.
Besides, if he wants to make a good movie, there are more opportunities. He can make a lot of classic European and American movies, so he doesn't have to compete with his own people at all.
The so-called "poor makes a traitor, and rich makes a conscience". In the early summer, I had no money or power, so if I want to be prosperous, I could only take some shortcuts and copy Hong Kong classic movies to shoot. But now that he is already developed, he doesn't have to do such things anymore. Even if he copys, he will copy foreign classic movies to earn money from foreigners.
As soon as "The Sword and Madan" is finished, Xia Tian will be ready to start filming "Saw". At that time, you can use this movie to attack Hollywood in the United States.
...
After receiving the gift from Xia Tian's request to Chen Yixin, Huang Baiming called to thank him in person and expressed his apology.
Before, he wanted to leave Xinyi City, so he started working with Xia Tian to release movies with the help of Tongxin Theater. But at the last moment of clinking, Boss Lei tried to keep him and invested in helping him set up a company.
In this way, if he leaves again, he will not be very loyal. So he can only say sorry to Xia Tian. If he wants to cooperate, he can only find another opportunity in the future.
Xia Tian accepted Huang Baiming's apology happily. The business failed to be successful. Although the cooperation was not successful, it did not mean that there would be no chance in the future. If he remembered correctly, Lei Juekun seemed to have withdrawn from the film industry in 1990s. At that time, if Huang Baiming wanted to make a movie, he would still have to find a funder to support him. At that time, he would have the same chance to cooperate with him.
"Brother Baiming, I understand, there is no need to apologize deliberately. If we can't cooperate this time, there will be opportunities in the future." Xia Tian smiled and said, "By the way, what support is needed, even if you say it, you don't have to see it."
"If you say this, I'll be relieved." Huang Baiming smiled, "Okay, if you need any service to me, just give me instructions."
He has long been jealous of the stars under Xia Tian. Not to mention anything else, the first-line female stars such as Chung Chuhong, Zhao Yazhi, Hu Huizhong, Mei Yanfang, and Wang Qixian have already made him salivate. Although he has a Happy Girl Group, he is still a well-known young actress, but he is still far from the first-line female stars!
...
The crew of "Dao Madan" was filmed at Anderson Stone Mine.
In summer, Chung Chuhong, Liang Jiahui, Lin Qingxia, and Ye Tong each rode a tall horse.
"After the revolution was successful, I saw you in Peiping!" Xia Tian smiled, and then whipped her south with Lin Qingxia.
"CUT!!" After the horse ran a hundred meters, he heard director Xu Ke shout.
Xia Tian heard Xu Ke’s shouts, turned his horse’s head and rode back. When he saw Chu Hong, Zhong quickly got off the horse and gave up to the groom, letting him lead the horse, and he would go as far as he could.
It turned out that when she was filming "The City Horse" before, there was a scene of riding a horse, which made her accidentally fall off the horse and almost become disabled, so she became afraid of the horse since then. If it weren't for the scene being shot in close-up, she would have been interested in finding a stand-in. Now, as soon as the filming is finished, she will get off the horse immediately.
Xia Tian likes riding a horse very much. When he was a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman, he learned to ride a horse. From then on, he fell in love with the feeling of riding, but he didn't have many opportunities to ride a horse while filming.
Because Shaw Brothers films, in order to save money, he has always been the protagonist who can ride a horse. He plays a minion like a dragon and tiger martial artist, and only walks. Now that he has the opportunity to live a good time, he has to ride a horse well, of course he has to ride enough.
Seeing Xia Tian riding a horse running around this open space, her handsome and handsome appearance was really a bit like a prince charming momentum, which made the crew cheer and cheer.
Lin Qingxia and Chung were even more stunned, "A Tian is so handsome!" Both of them turned into peach blossom shapes!!
Any girl who never dreamed of "Snow White" when she was a child, all fantasized that one day a prince charming would fall in love with her. Now seeing the white clothes in summer like snow and coming and going like the wind, she immediately fulfilled her childhood wishes, so how could they not be intoxicated by it?
"Mr. Xia, it's almost done!" Xu Ke saw that Xia Tian was riding a horse and running, and hurriedly shouted. He had something to tell Xia Tian.
"Okay." Xia Tian slowly stopped the horse, then got off the horse and came to Xu Ke.
"Mr. Xia, let's say this last sentence for you." Xu Ke said ridiculously.
"Okay, I'll announce the filming of "Dao Madan" and it's over here!!" Xia Tian coughed lightly, then shouted.
"Yeah!" When the crew heard this, they couldn't help cheering.
The film "The Legend of the Dao Ma Dan" started filming last year, and it took a month and a half now, and finally it was completed. During this period, it also experienced a series of twists and turns, but it was finally completed successfully. It was really great without wasting my efforts!!
"Everyone go back and clean up. I'll go up to Yinglou tomorrow night and I'll treat you to dinner!" Xia Tian said again.
"Yeah!" Everyone shouted even happier after hearing what he said.
...
"Mr. Xia, the post-production of "The Dao Ma Dan" is about to be carried out. After finishing this drama, I will be ready to start filming "A Chinese Ghost Story"." Xu Ke said to Xia Tian again.
"Okay, I'll be in charge of Xu Xu." Xia Tian nodded. When Xu Ke started filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", he probably would have taken the movie "Saw" to the United States. At that time, the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" will depend entirely on Xu Ke.
"I have contacted the special effects team of the American Industrial Light and Magic. When the shooting starts, they will come over." Xu Ke said, "Mr. Xia, in terms of cost..."
"Didn't I say that it's enough to be within one million US dollars." Xia Tian nodded and said, "Director Xu, it's very expensive to do movie special effects now. I hope to use good steel on the edge. In addition, I also hope to cultivate local special effects talents and not always rely on foreign countries."
"I think so too, so I plan to ask my new visual effects company to help with the guidance this time." Xu Ke said with a thief smile. His special effects team was stolen from the special effects team of "Shushan Legend" when filming "The Legend of Shushan".
"It's a pity that even if you train it, it's useless. There are very few Hong Kong people who make special effects films." Xu Ke said in dismay again.
"Don't say that, I'm just in need of a play." Xia Tian smiled.
Now that I heard that Xia Tian’s new film would use special effects cameras, Xu Ke suddenly felt enlightened, "Mr. Xia, do you think this is serious?"
Xu Ke himself is a technical controller, so he spent money to cultivate a group of special effects talents. Researching special effects is a very expensive thing, and he can't do it without money. So in order to maintain this studio, Xu Ke really lost all his money.
In fact, he has made a lot of money in filming in recent years. Not to mention accumulating tens of millions of dollars, at least a few million Hong Kong dollars is indispensable. But just because he wants to provide that special effects company, he has been suffering.
Of course, Xu Ke hopes that his special effects company will become the number one special effects company in Hong Kong, and then all Hong Kong film companies will come to make special effects themselves, so that they will not only make money, but also satisfy their dream of special effects movies.
But after so long, except for the movies he directed, such as "The Queen's Secret Order" and "Shanghai Night", most of the time, the heroes are useless, which makes Xu Ke always a regret in his life.
"Take it seriously, what do you want to do?" Xia Tian smiled, "I am going to spend 4 million Hong Kong dollars on this drama to be a special effect. You do it better, otherwise I won't receive the goods."
"Four million Hong Kong dollars?" Xu Ke almost jumped happily when he heard this.
This is the biggest business he has done since the establishment of his special effects studio.
"Yes, I need more special effects shots in that drama." Xia Tian nodded, "so you have to worry more."
"No problem." Xu Ke nodded with a smile when he heard this.
For the sake of 4 million Hong Kong dollars, he also sacrificed his best.
"Then it's just a matter of determination." Xia Tian also smiled.
