1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 355 It was obviously me first!
Let’s talk about Hong Jinbao.

At that time, in order to reassure him, Xia Tian also revealed some of the direction of the investigation.

So, by the next morning, Fatty Hong knew some rumors about Xia Tian here.

"He is actually the boss behind the Xiangjiang Daily News?"

Fatty Hong didn't expect that the tabloid he had been enjoying reading recently was actually a summer one!
No, you revealed your own secrets? ! What a ruthless person!
As his subordinates continued to report, he felt more and more that something was wrong!

"He's very close to the daughter of that wealthy businessman Lou, the stock god?"

In recent years, Lou Xiao'e has been very accurate in the Hong Kong stock market, and some people call her the female stock god.
The subordinate said: "Not very close... but a partner. I found out that Xia Tian has shares in Lijiang Industry of Lou Xiao'e, and is one of the major shareholders!"

"What? This guy is so rich?!"

Hong Jinbao didn’t know about this company before, but he naturally found information about it when he investigated.

Lijiang Industrial is involved in several fields. Apart from investment, the most important one is real estate - this company has bought a lot of real estate in Hong Kong, and it has tens of millions of assets in this area alone!
Hong Jinbao: Major shareholder? Are you richer than me?!

Even if he released albums and books in mainland China, he would make millions every year, but he wouldn't be that rich, right?!

However, Hong Jinbao's younger brother was quite capable. He found out the relationship between Xia Tian and Holly Li...

After all, the gold shop robbery and counter-murder case some time ago was quite sensational. Although many newspapers gave face to Mr. Huo and did not mention Huo Lili, some people still knew about it.

In addition, there were related reports when I came to Hong Kong in the summer of 87.

If someone is really interested, they will definitely be able to get in touch.

If you continue to think about it, you will remember the group of "rich second-generation investors" surrounding the youngest daughter of Mr. Huo!
That is an international investment team that can leverage tens or even hundreds of billions of funds!

This kid from the inland is actually one of them? !

Hong Jinbao felt that this cooperation was inevitable and must be successful!

Damn, what a rare opportunity!

The more Hong Kong filmmakers are at the level of Fatty Hong, the more they understand the status of tycoons and wealthy people.

On the surface, he seems to have a very high status in the film industry, and everyone calls him "Big Brother".

But the ones who really have the final say in this industry and whom I can only look up to are still the tycoons!
And this summer, she actually got close to the sons and daughters of these tycoons? This deserves attention.

If I could find a backer through him, my life would be much better.

……

Because of the enthusiasm, Hong Jinbao's Baohe Pictures acted quickly.

On the third day, he called Arong's home and asked Xia Tian to discuss the matter.

A streetside restaurant, it looks like a long-established one, but Xia Tian didn’t recognize it either.

This time, Fatty Hong was more enthusiastic, and the two of them chatted while eating.

My goodness, we haven’t even finished talking yet, but Fatty Hong is already shocked by Xia Tian’s appetite - damn, I didn’t notice any movement, but he actually ate twice as much as I did!

Could it be that he was cheating to eat and drink?
The deal wasn't concluded yet, but a banquet was served - Hong Jinbao had to add four more dishes in the second half.

Finally, the two reached a further verbal agreement:

A company will be set up here by Xia Tian, ​​and with a total investment of 100 million including the 350 million yuan salary, Xia Tian will serve as the leading actor and producer.

Baohe Pictures invested 300 million yuan and provided the filming team including director, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, etc., and both parties took half of the profits.

In fact, Hong Jinbao took a gamble. After all, not only did he pay 100 million yuan in salary, he also hired a producer, which was equivalent to giving the crew a certain say.

But Xia Tian is not an amateur after all, so it is okay to take some risks.

But the two had a slight disagreement on the title of the movie.

Hong Jinbao wanted to call the film "Zhong N Hai Bodyguard", but Xia Tian would definitely not agree - how can I survive when I go back? !
Xia Tian thinks it should be called "Supreme Bodyguard".

The reason was also given: covering up is more attractive, and if you take off everything, it will lose the interest!
Until now, he has not acknowledged his identity as Haizi's bodyguard in the newspapers, which has instead sparked more speculation, discussion and attention.

The same goes for movies. The identities that you guess are popular. If they are revealed, it will be boring.
In the end, Hong Jinbao was persuaded.

Let’s put it this way, when it comes to making movies, he has his own way.

But when it comes to planning and hype, Fatty Hong should step back! It's too crude to watch~
It’s very quick to set up a new shell company there in the summer, and if you have connections, it can be done in a day.

Then both parties signed the contract accompanied by lawyers.

Here, Baohe has already started preparing for the publicity - and the first to reveal the news was the "Hong Kong Daily News".

Various routines revealed that "the recent Imperial Guard Master and Haizi's Crotch-hanging Bodyguard" seemed to be about to make a movie!
And it’s a movie about his mysterious identity!

Some news is so true and false, so secretive, that it makes people feel itchy!

Many people like this "voyeurism"~
The news leaked out for a few days, and then a paparazzi "happened" to secretly photograph Xia Tian meeting with Hung Jin-po and Yuen Biao.

Then someone followed up with the report, and Baohe admitted it reluctantly - making a movie!

After a series of monkey-stealing peach combo punches, the heat that had cooled down slightly in the summer was pushed up again!

Hong Jinbao collected feedback information day by day and couldn't help but sigh: This is a great trick! I copied it down and used it myself later~
Xia Tian: Just go ahead and learn it, it’s all knowledge!
The preparation of the crew in Hong Kong was very fast. Xia Tian had asked them to strive for perfection, and it only took them a week to prepare the crew.

But the script is still three pages~
Xia Tian took a look and felt like he was a "gunman" who had been dumped out of an outline!
In the days before filming began, Xia Tian also began to cooperate with ATV. The equity there has been finalized and will be announced at the end of June, officially opening a new chapter.

As a small shareholder behind the scenes, Xia Tian naturally receives preferential treatment.

The cooperation between ATV and CCTV has been strengthened, and previously produced works such as "The Return of the Great Sage" are also planned to be broadcast on this TV station.

In order to promote the song, Xia Tian also recorded a few songs for them, such as "The Great Sage Song", "Wukong", "Ninety-nine Eighty-one", "Daughter's Love", and "Golden Cudgel".
First the song, then the trailer.

In this way, the official mission assigned to me would be almost complete. The rest of the time would be my own!
Xia Tian is still studying the script of "The Bodyguard". He feels that the script given by Baohe still has some problems.

The plot and rhythm are just small matters. Gordon Chan is also a well-known screenwriter and director.

Mostly "backstory"!
As I said, some things can be done without any effort, but you can't admit them blatantly.

Therefore, Xia Zhengyang could not explicitly say that he was Haizi’s bodyguard, but had to use hints.

Let the audience "guess" his identity, giving the audience a sense of accomplishment and superiority!
Xia Tian also felt that the identity of the heroine was quite inappropriate.

He was still calling Chen Jiashang: "Hello? Editor Chen, it's fine if you set the heroine as the daughter of a certain tycoon. But why is her last name Huo? If you are not worried that Mr. Huo will cause you trouble, then I am not afraid..."

As expected, he was still worried. When Chen Jiashang heard that Xia Tian would not take the blame, he didn't dare to take advantage of Huo Daheng's popularity.

I sighed in my heart: What a shame! What a good gimmick!

Xia Tian hasn't hung up the phone yet.

The door of Arong's house opened, and Mei Gu walked in first, followed by Liu Jialing, and then another person followed Liu Jialing.

Lan Jieying? Why is she here?!
Mei Gu's face was full of smiles: "Hey, hey, hey, come here, let me introduce you to a new friend! Lan Jieying, now she is an actress at TVB, and she is a colleague of Carina Lau. She has filmed several TV series this year!"

Xia Tian noticed that the smiles of several other friends, such as Sally Yeh and Joey Wong, were very strange!
It's like trying to steal a chicken!
A Rong rolled his eyes and said "boring".

Xia Tian muttered to himself: That's not right! Are you really hiding something from me?

That’s right, they have all discussed it. Except for Arong who is not interested and Mr. Tang who will not get involved, the other mahjong friends want to pull Xia Tian off the altar!

……

It can be seen that Lan Jieying doesn't play mahjong very often, and is not very good at it. She is very reserved.

Given how stingy TVB's Uncle Shaw is, with her salary, she would probably have nothing to lose after playing mahjong for two days.

But, it was my good friend Liu Jialing who introduced me to Aunt Mei! What a great opportunity!
She was also surprised that Xia Tian was here, but when she thought about how he talked to Aunt Mei that day, she thought he must be a good friend.

In the past two days, she has gradually come out of her sadness, and she also understood why Xia Tian asked her "Haven't you read the newspaper recently" - there is news about him in the newspaper every day!

No wonder he asked that!

However, only Liu Jialing knew that it was Mei Gu who brought Lan Jieying over through her!

Moreover, now it seems that they are trying to match her with Xia Tian...

Why her? Why always her!
I'm from the inland, wouldn't I be more suitable?

It is normal for a young girl to be in love, especially when she meets someone who is so outstanding in every aspect and so close to her, it is hard to guarantee that she will not have some fantasies.

Compared to her quiet thoughts, Sally Yeh was much bolder and said directly: "If I didn't already have someone, I would definitely pursue Xia Tian!"

Well, she became George Lam’s student in 83 ~ do you understand?

However, Xia Tian felt a little heavy in his heart when hearing Mei Gu and the others constantly saying things like “Help A Ying look at the cards, she is not very good at it” and “How come the mahjong master has no sympathy at all?”

Just like what I felt that night, there are too many tragedies in this world.

Arong beside me is one case, Aying in front of me is another case, and Aqiang who didn’t come today is another case... How many can I save?

The more sensitive A Rong noticed Xia Tian's silence and thought he was a little disgusted, so he asked in a low voice: "Why? Don't you like this kind of thing?"

Xia Tian shook his head and said, "Arong, give me a cigarette."

"Ah?!" A Rong was terrified.

He knew that Xia Tian didn't smoke. Even Brother Yong, who used to smoke, quit following Xia Tian.

Now he actually asked me for cigarettes? !
He felt around and found that he hadn't brought it yet. But he didn't go to get it. Instead, he asked, "Is it real? It shouldn't be that serious, right?" The smile on his face faded.

Xia Tian leaned on the sofa, listening to the clattering sound of mahjong in the living room not far away, and said softly: "I suddenly remembered something bad, and I smoked a cigarette to relieve it."

"What on earth is that?"

"…I feel that there are too many tragedies in the world, and I can't save them all."

"Hey! What else did I think?" A Rong patted Xia Tian's shoulder with a relaxed look on his face, "Everyone who is saved will be happy."

Hearing this, Xia Tian suddenly remembered his article "This Little Fish Cares" which was published in "Children's Literature" in his early years. Milan cried after reading it.

"That's true. If you can't save them, then don't save them. If you meet one, save one!"

Xia Tian turned around and called out to the people playing mahjong: "Aying, do you have time recently? I want you to play the leading female role!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
Liu Jialing's reaction was particularly intense, her eyes were red - why? It was obviously me who started it first?!
