Chapter 231 Borrowing Soldiers (Part [-])
1983 5 Month 4 Day.

Regarding the press conference of "Yitian" held by Shao Daheng yesterday, the major media in HK gave different reports.

HK's most representative "Entertainment Biweekly" has a headline --- "Shaw Brothers regains its glory, Yitian wants to slay the dragon!"

The report said: "There have been glories and there have also been declines. It used to be the leading film company in Xiangjiang, but now it is the Yitian Sword that restrains its edge. This is--HK Shaw Brothers Film Company."

"In 1958, the Shaw Brothers film company was established in Hong Kong. In the following 30 years, Shaw Brothers films have gradually grown into a wonderful work in the Chinese film industry. Whenever Chinese films are mentioned, the Shaw Brothers films will never be avoided. In the 70s and [-]s, it was the golden age of Shaw Brothers films. It was in a dominant position in the Hong Kong film industry, and no one could match it. The important thing is that its influence is not limited to the tiny place of HK. The fans of Shaw Brothers movies are all over the Chinese community in Southeast Asia."

"The history of Shaw Brothers is actually clear: from the end of the 50s to the mid-60s, it was the start-up period of Shaw Brothers. The representative figure was Li Hanxiang, and his Huangmei School films became the main genre of Shaw Brothers; after the mid-60s, Under Zhang Che's strong advocacy, Shaw Brothers brought martial arts films into a glorious period. Among them, they are divided into two branches, one is the new martial arts films advocated by Zhang Che; the other is Chu Yuan, who is good at cooperating with Gu Long to shoot those surreal Martial arts works of doctrine. And martial arts films have also achieved the status of Shaw Brothers films in the entire Chinese film industry--ordering martial arts, who dare not follow?!"

"Shaw Brothers began to reduce the production of films in the 80s, and the aura of the overlord in the film industry began to disappear layer by layer. Of course, no one will deny that Shaw Brothers films are still a force that cannot be ignored in the Hong Kong film industry. Today, Shaw Brothers I want to make a comeback, and use this "Yi Tian Zhi Demon Sect Leader" to recast its glory! As for this dragon sword, whether it can rely on this film to reappear and dominate the world again, please wait and see, our Shaw Brothers fans and friends !"

If the "Entertainment Biweekly" wrote a nostalgic review article with "Shaw Brothers" as the theme, then the largest media in HK, "Oriental Daily", captured this drama in its entertainment section. Chen Xiaotang, the leading actor in the movie, made a big fuss.

Its main title is --- "Popular in the music world, comet in the film world!"

"For Chen Xiaotang, a newcomer in film and television, most people knew him from a TV series in which he played Ouyang Ke. His unruly style touched the hearts of many boys and girls at that time, especially in the scene where Ouyang Ke died. It is said that many The emotionally rich female audience were all in tears. Later, this person continued to subvert the various villains in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Murong Fu, the Golden Snake Lord, and he set things right one by one, turning from evil thieves into lovers The little prince—wow, this makes us hardcore Jin Yong obsessed? The original concept of good and evil in our minds has been messed up by him!"

"Here, we have to focus on why Chen Xiaotang was able to subvert the characters in the original book with his villain role? The reason is his acting skills!!! In the past, we ignored the role of an actor's acting skills in character creation, I thought that as long as the actors acted well in the past, it would be OK, but now, we know that one person can even play a character to the extreme—the extreme of evil is love! Let all the audience fall in love with this big villain! Chen Xiaotang's acting skills It made our eyes shine, as if he was born to eat this food, so after these few plays, he was dubbed the 'king of supporting roles'."

"Now, this 'King of Supporting Actors' has once again amazed us, that is his screenwriting ability and singing skills. Especially the latter, a song "Flastic" shocked the whole Xiangjiang through the charity gala! This song is based on his personal The song that struggled for the embryonic form vividly expressed his views on the entertainment industry, as well as his helplessness and hesitation as an artist, as well as his impetuousness and sadness as a newcomer!"

"So far, thinking of that touching song, I still can't calm down for a long time——Chen Xiaotang sang with his own heart. He touched me and all Hong Kong fans. But what puzzles us is , since the song came out, Chen Xiaotang didn't take advantage of the victory like other singers, and he didn't even admit that he was a singer, because in his heart, maybe acting was his favorite."

"Now, the facts have proved this point. Chen Xiaotang attacked again and wrote another masterpiece "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" by Master Jin Yong himself. He joined hands with Shaw Brothers Film Company to rely on this film to establish himself as the number one niche in TVB. Status, competing with Zhou Runfa, Lu Liangwei and others for hegemony in the world. But, is this possible?!"

"It is estimated that there are many people who have the same doubts as me. After all, Chen Xiaotang has only debuted for just over a year. There have been countless people like him in Hong Kong, but most of them are like shooting stars. Passed away, but there are only a handful of people who can become the eternal superstar! Now, this popular star is shining brightly, and will shine with the play "Yitian"; but, will he succeed?! No one Know!!!"

In addition to these two large-scale media magazines doing a large-scale report on "Yitian: The Demon Sect Leader", some other media in Hong Kong, Hong Kong and Taiwan also made reports to varying degrees.In particular, the Taiwan-Taiwan media, who have not paid much attention to Hong Kong film and television newcomers, have developed a strong interest in "Chen Xiaotang".

"A newcomer from Hong Kong is valued so much by Daheng Shao, which makes us not curious -- after careful study, we discovered that this newcomer also participated in the recent Hong Kong drama "Swordsman of Shushan" , and had more than a minute of rivalry with our "Flower of the Treasure Island" Lin Qingxia! God, this shocked us, what kind of shit luck did this newcomer have? All the glory is with him?! Write a novel , writing scripts, filming, singing, showing kung fu—as if he is omnipotent, as if he is the proud son of heaven! There is no doubt that if "Yi Tian" can be successfully filmed, he will become even more popular, and perhaps in the future, he will Will become a generation of superstars!"

…………

Not to mention the numerous reports by these media, but also to say that those Hong Kong audiences also have their own opinions.

"Is Chen Xiaotang starting a new movie? Very good, I think he looks very good, I support him!"

"What, he plays Zhang Wuji? No way, I don't really like Zhang Wuji, a good-for-nothing. He's good at martial arts, but he can't be the emperor, so funny!"

"This version of Zhang Wuji is an ambitious man? Is there any mistake, return my brother Wuji!"

.........

"Chen Xiaotang? I don't pay much attention to him. I'm a man. Of course I like female celebrities, such as Weng Meiling, Guan Zhilin, and Zhong Chuhong—especially Zhong Chuhong's recent swimsuit photo, which is super sexy——!"

"It's better for him to be filming. He only sings one song. I guess he won't be able to sing any good songs!"

"Yeah, let him act honestly, the way of singing may not be suitable for him!"

.........

"I'm really looking forward to his appearance at SAM's concert. Really, I like his "Flastic" very much. I hope he can sing another song and surpass himself!"

"Hit him, not for anything else, just because he is MAN-I heard that he is very good at kung fu, is it true?!"

"These stars again? Now that Hong Kong's economy is developing rapidly, who cares about these stars?! They are the number one in making money!—Don't tell me you don't know, I earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute!"

…………

When these gossip reports are disturbing, "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The Demon Sect Leader" has been filming for two days.

As the leading actor and screenwriter, Chen Xiaotang is busy with almost no feet on the ground. For a while, he played Zhang Wuji and played against Shao Meiqi, Li Meixian and others, and then acted as a screenwriter to give lectures to each actor, and occasionally discussed the script with the director Fatty Wang Jing- ——
In short, he is the busiest and most tiring person in the whole crew.

But today, he still has a very important task to complete, which is to promise Fatty to find a thousand extras!
As I said before, the entire "Yitian" is magnificent, but there is a shortage of actors.The actors who play tricks can count on their fingers.

Fatty Wang Jing spoke out about his difficulties, and Chen Xiaotang patted his chest and said that he would solve it by himself.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang only had a rough idea on how to solve this matter, and he had no idea whether it would be successful or not.

What is Chen Xiaotang's solution?That is to ask for help from your former club.

As we all know, there are many clubs in the whole HK, and several big clubs even have tens of thousands of people, such as Xin~Ngee Ann, He Liansheng, and Dongxing, which Chen Xiaotang used to hang out with!
Chen Xiaotang's meaning was very simple. He told his former big brother Ding Ye that he would be showing his face by borrowing hundreds of brothers to come here and flashing in front of the camera.Of course, some "capital fee" should be given to Lord Ding and his old man.Based on the calculation of 30 yuan per person, five hundred is [-].Although it is a bit more for the crew, it is better than nothing.

In short, this action of "borrowing troops" from the East Star Society is imperative!
################################################## ###
Some people have already guessed what song Chen Xiaotang will sing at the Red Hall concert, but I believe that his concert will become a bigger turning point in his life.Some people say that the protagonist is still not good enough, that is because Bing Tie is not willing to write the protagonist so that it becomes extremely good all at once, and one has to do it step by step, so as to have flavor.
