1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 353: How to be Clean

The beautiful woman was smart. She moved a seat closer to Xia Tian and put her handbag on the original seat.

Because she was sitting at the side, there was no place for her to sit.

This attitude is already very obvious!

As a result, Luo Lie was a bit shameless. Before Xia Tian could react, he said, "Sir, could you please change your seat?"

Oh my god! You pick up your girls, and you want me to give you your seat? Are you old, weak, sick, disabled, or pregnant? Why are you so shameless? !
Xia Tian turned to look at him, "Not good."

Luo Lie's face changed. He didn't expect this young man to be so disrespectful.

He asked in a stiff tone: "Why haven't I seen you before? Where are you from?"

"You're quite nosy, aren't you? Are you going to treat me to this meal?"

Xia Tian put down his chopsticks, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, thinking to himself: It doesn’t seem so good to hit someone in a restaurant?

Luo Lie was very popular in his early years, but he is no longer so popular now and has no status in this circle. He was afraid of hitting a wall, so he looked at Xia Tian carefully.

Xia Tian has an outstanding and memorable appearance, and since newspapers publish photos of her every day, he actually recognized her!

"Oh, it's you, mainlander! What are you doing here?"

Li Kuiyong had already stood up at this time, ready to attack this Xiangjiang grandson from both sides at any time!

Xia Tian waved his hand to signal him not to be nervous: "Do you know your father?"

"How dare you scold me? Do you know who I am?"

Luo Lie was a martial arts actor in his early years, so he had a bit of a social character and was used to being arrogant.

If he hadn't been out of fashion in these years, he wouldn't be so "low-key".

As a result, Xia Tian was directly angered.

Seeing that something was not right, the woman stood up and said, "Mr. Luo, please don't disturb me and my friends! I'm not interested in what you're saying, please leave!"

The woman stopped him, which made him even angrier: Damn, I've been watching you for a long time, and you two obviously don't know each other, but you suddenly became friends?! Damn, pretty boys are popular, right?

He pointed at Xia Tian and asked, "You only know how to stand behind a woman?"

Oh my god, but no one has dared to "raise the flag" against me in some years. You are very brave, right?
Xia Tian shrugged and smiled brightly: "Why? No woman likes you?"

Damn it! Luo Lie was so angry that he was about to smoke!
Just when he was about to take action and Xia Tian was planning to lie about "self-defense", Mei Gu suddenly came over and said, "Tian'erzi, why are you still here? Hong Jinbao has been waiting for you for a long time."

As a result, when Mei Gu came over, Luo Lie was stunned, and then immediately smiled, "Haha, it turns out to be Mei Gu's friend, we were telling a joke."

Wow, that’s called flexibility!
Xia Tian thought this was the real face-changing skill - No, you really don't have any shame at all? !
As soon as he saw Xia Tian knew Mei Gu and even Hong Jinbao, he immediately gave in! He just let himself be scolded, and treated it as a joke.

Xia Tian: Damn, you really broadened my horizons.

Luo Lie left directly without even waiting for the party to be over.

Originally, he was just an out-of-date minor character who was just here to get the role. He even got the role by using some favors.

I thought I had found a good prey at this party - she was good-looking, but she was just a TV actress, and her boyfriend had just died recently, so she was a perfect prey.
As a result, the other party didn't buy it, and he almost offended the big guys and big sisters in the film and television industry. What a bad luck!
I don’t know about other things, but he thinks it might be true that he has been unlucky this year.

Because he left early and was driving home, he was muttering and cursing while driving, and he crashed into a bus!

Not only did he get a bloody head, but he was also considered driving under the influence because he was drunk, so his driver's license was revoked and he had to be imprisoned for three months!
……

In the summer, my hands were itching so much that I couldn't punch out. I kept clenching my fists because of the itch, and my joints were cracking.

But there was no way, the old guy ran too fast!

Just as he stood up to go meet Hong Jinbao with Aunt Mei, the "beauty that brings disaster" woman apologized quietly: "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

"Forget it." Xia Tian waved his hands. What else could he say?

Just because I sit too close to her, I get into trouble. It's true that beautiful women are the root of all trouble.

But she looks worthy of this word~
Xia Tian stood up to leave, but was pushed by Mei Gu: "I was kidding you, Hong Jinbao is still chatting with Luo Wei!"

"You guys chat! I'm leaving first."

Before she left, she whispered, "So you're not a monk! You have good taste~"

Xia Tian: ...You two are here to ruin my life, right? One of you won't let me eat properly, and the other won't let me beat someone up!

After he sat down, the woman looked disappointed but tried to keep herself together. She said, "My name is Lan Jieying. What's your name?"

Xia Tian was stunned. Lan Jieying?
Looking more closely, it does look familiar.

But the one who impressed me the most was Lan Jieying played by Chun Shisan Niang.

Her condition at that time was much worse than it is now, and because of the difference between ancient costume and modern costume, I couldn't recognize her at first.

At this moment, the last bit of resentment in Xia Tian's heart disappeared - how could he bother with such a beautiful but unfortunate woman?
Alas, there are countless tragedies in this world.

How can one be clean if he wants to be clean? The sky is not always empty. It is a pity that the quality of gold and jade will eventually sink into the mud.

At this point, you can understand how Cao Gong felt when he wrote A Dream of Red Mansions...

"My name is Xia Tian... Haven't you read the newspaper recently?" Xia Tian asked.

It’s impossible that you don’t know me if you read the newspaper. I’m going to help the whole of Hong Kong share the big news!

Lan Jieying seemed a little dazed when she heard this. "No, no. Not recently..."

Her eyes revealed sadness, and her whole person seemed dazed, like a piece of cracked porcelain, full of a broken beauty.

The most beautiful woman in Mount Wutai refers to the actresses in the Kowloon area where many TV stations are stationed.

The short and wide face with a blunt chin makes her face look well coordinated. Her facial features are more delicate and petite than those of ordinary beauties...

A short and wide face is suitable for short eyebrows.

The distance between the eyebrows and the eyes is very close, as if the eyebrows are attached to the eyes. The thick eyebrows are slender without too many edges and corners, but have their own trend, attached to the narrow and long, the overall trend is from the end of the eyebrow to the eyebrow, from top to bottom, with a hint of charm in the spirit.

It echoes a pair of lips with the same shape, making it even more unique and exquisite.

Her double eyelids are looming, and when she stares, they become double eyelids, which makes her eyes look more lively.

The big eyes are round, very natural and lively, with pointed and downward-curved inner corners. She can be cold as ice or charming and has great plasticity.

Her face has the classic cheekbone features of Hong Kong girls, but her cheekbones are very pleasing, which adds beauty of light and shadow to her side profile.

Her nose is pretty three-dimensional, with a sharp tip that's just right. Even without makeup, her refinement is no less than anyone else's.

She is not as sharp and mean as Guan Qiuqiu, nor does she have the shocking and aggressive facial features like Li Xiaosan.

A fair complexion can highlight the superiority of the facial features...

It is as beautiful as porcelain, beautiful yet fragile, making people want to protect it.

However, behind that fragile surface, there is a different kind of character - her eyes are unruly, her chin is full of stubbornness, and her bones are full of inappropriateness.

With her flying hair and graceful eyes, she exudes a youthful and pure aura.

She is delicate yet dignified, giving people a sense of awe-inspiring distance and a feeling of being an "ice beauty".

From a director's professional perspective, this face is also worthy of praise.

The current Anita Mui has a slightly sweeter taste. By the time of "A Chinese Odyssey" a few years later, the loss of collagen was more obvious, which inevitably gave people a bitter feeling.

……

Maybe it was Xia Tian’s words that touched upon her sad memories, and she spoke very little after that and just drank alone.

There is not much to talk about in summer, just eating.

Soon, Hong Jinbao really came to see him. Xia Tian gave Brother Yong a look, signaling him to keep an eye on the drunk lady, and then go to see Hong Jinbao.

Before anyone sat down, Hong Jinbao apologized: "Alas, Luo Wei has been talking to me all the time. I really can't help it. I've been delayed for a long time and kept you waiting."

"Not really. I was eating the whole time."

Speaking of Lo Wei, people who are not familiar with Hong Kong movies really don’t know him.

But he was the first one to promote Bruce Lee, Big Nose Dragon, Li Lianjie, and Stephen Chow!
Luo Wei really had the best luck, but in the end he didn't get any benefit. The problem lies in other aspects.
For example, when the big-nosed dragon has single eyelids, it looks fierce and evil.

No matter how much support she received before, it was useless. In order to act in Gu Long's novel, she drank a bottle of foreign wine in one breath. As a result, Gu Long thought she was ugly, and she cried in the bathroom out of grievance.

Even the stage name Jackie Chan was given by Lo Wei.

But he just couldn't become popular. After Big Nose Dragon had double eyelids, his face looked much softer and he became an instant hit!

The others are similar.

Lo Wei is known as the "super bargain-hunting king" in the Hong Kong film industry. He started by picking up Cheng Pei-pei, then Bruce Lee, then Sagittarius, and finally Li Lianjie and Sam Hui... but he didn't get any benefits!
Hong Jinbao poured Xia Tian a glass of wine and said, "I'm looking for you this time because I have a movie that I want you to star in..."

As I said before, in recent years, the big brother Hong Jinbao is not as powerful as his junior brother Big Nose Dragon.

In fact, Sammo Hung's Baohe Films is now in decline, and the ghost zombie movies are gradually losing popularity. The recent movies have poor box office performance and are not very good.

He has a group of people under him, so he has to make films.

In fact, he himself is full of ideas. A few days ago, he saw topics such as "Bodyguards in Haizi", "Born with Supernatural Powers", and "Practicing Crotch-hanging Kung Fu" in the newspaper.

Today, while watching the movie, he lamented that his former younger brother Big Nose Dragon had wide connections and was able to invite so many celebrities to make guest appearances, but at the same time he felt very jealous.

Then he suddenly had an idea and remembered the "legendary Haizi's bodyguard with supernatural powers" introduced by Mei Gu behind him!
This is a very good subject!
Moreover, he has been very popular recently!

If word gets out that "Haizi's Bodyguard," who killed four robbers on the street some time ago, is going to be in a movie, even ordinary people who don't usually go to movies would be curious and take a look!

Maybe I can get a chance to try it myself? !

So, he thought about making a movie "Bodyguard from China" to save Baohe Pictures from its decline.

Xia Tian heard this and sighed in his heart: Damn! This rumor will never go away.

But rumors are rumors, and cooperation is cooperation.

How to break into the Hong Kong film industry is indeed a problem.

Hong Jinbao's idea this time may not be an opportunity.

But Xia Tian definitely wouldn't want to just be a leading actor.

He said, "Big Brother really has a keen business sense. This wave of popularity is just in time. If the film is shot quickly, even passers-by who don't like watching movies can contribute to the box office. However..."

This is the most frightening thing.

"But I want a salary of 100 million!"

Xia Tian's words almost made Hong Jinbao spit out the wine!
Are you kidding me?
I just want to get two or three million to shoot a photo, take advantage of the popularity and reap some benefits - you want one million? Do you think you are a top star?!

Now is the time when Hong Kong films are about to explode but have not yet exploded. One million is already the price for Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and A Rong!
The difference for female stars is much bigger. The most popular one, Cherie Chung, only earned 70 yuan, while Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin earned 50 to 60 yuan.

By next year, there will be another wave of growth.

Xia Tian waved his hand: "Don't worry, big brother. I'm not an ungrateful lunatic. Just listen to me..."

"I don't want this million as money, I want it as an investment share. You don't have a script yet, right? I can be the director, screenwriter, actor... I can also invest two million, plus the film remuneration it will be three million! Let's film together!"

Hong Jinbao was stunned: I was only planning to take a gamble of 2-3 million, and you offered 3 million right away?!
