037 【Dream】
Xia Tian saw that Cheng Long was already thinking about it, so he stopped talking.
"Oh, keep talking, I've been listening." Cheng Long recovered and urged Xia Tian with a smile.
Xia Tian smiled and continued to say, "After Chen Jiaju forced the bus to stop, he refused the bribes from the drug lord and arrested them and made great contributions. His superior decided to recommend Chen Jiaju to be promoted and set him an example for the Hong Kong police force."
"In order to successfully correct the crime of the drug lord, the police decided to use a counter-espionage strategy to instigate the drug lord's mistress Salina, that is, the female suspect who found the police's whereabouts in the wooden house area and warned the drug lord. Chen Jiaju was ordered to protect Salina's safety, but Salina did not cooperate with his work."
"In order to make her obedient, Chen Jiaju asked her colleague to pretend to be a bandit to attack Shalena, but she did not expect to make a mistake. In order to be afraid that Shalena would speak, the drug lord also sent a group of killers. Chen Jiaju repelled the assaulted by her colleague, accusing that he was sent by the drug lord and asked Shalena to surrender to the police."
"Salina was frightened by him and returned to his house with Chen Jiaju. On the way, she was attacked by a killer. After a big battle, Chen Jiaju beat the killer away. Salina felt her life was threatened and decided to sue the police for correcting the drug lord."
"Chen Jiaju took Shalena home, but unexpectedly caused a misunderstanding from her girlfriend. Shalena also found a photo of him and her colleague at his home. He suspected that the two attacks were all acting, so he was very dissatisfied with Chen Jiaju and deliberately designed to frame him."
"After losing Salina's strong evidence, the drug lord was released without guilt. Chen Jiaju was also demoted to the rural police station, but he was not discouraged. He wanted to find Salina, correct the drug lord again, and bring him to justice. After the drug lord found out, he decided to use the trick."
"The drug lord sent a holiday message to Chen Jiaju through an informant, saying that he had found Salina's whereabouts and lured him to come. At the same time, he attracted the scum in the police. After Chen Jiaju came to the villa, he was subdued by the drug lord's people and shot him to kill the scum colleague in order to frame him and kill him."
"Chen Jiaju rescued the witness Shalena, but she was knocked out by the drug lord, and then abandoned the wilderness, making the illusion of absconding fearing crime. Chen Jiaju was wanted by the police and returned to the police station to explain to her boss, but was asked to be temporarily detained for investigation. Chen Jiaju was innocently aggrieved and full of her chest. In desperation, she kidnapped her boss out of the police station and decided to prove her innocence."
"He found the informant who provided the fake news and forced him to tell the secret location of the drug lord. Chen Jiaju went to surveillance and accidentally discovered Salina's whereabouts. It turned out that she knew that the drug lord was going to kill her, so she was preparing to steal the drug lord's criminal information, hoping to use this to fight him down."
"After the drug lords discovered it, they sent people to chase Shalena. At a critical moment, Chen Jiaju fell from the sky and fought to the death with these villains. Finally, after a big battle, Chen Jiaju protected the witness Shalena, proved his innocence, and also obtained the drug lord's criminal information, so that he could understand the canon punishment."
Xia Tian finished the plot of "Police Story" in one breath, which made him dry and he was moisturized after drinking two cups of tea.
After listening carefully, Cheng Long clapped happily, "A Tian, your story is really good, but I think some places are not good enough. You see, after Chen Jiaju was framed, he went to the police station to explain to his boss. The boss didn't listen but wanted to detain him. He had no choice but to kidnap his boss to escape. This part should be the most exciting. You should write it carefully, what kind of road and what kind of mountain feel?" He said at this point, he was a little exhausted.
"Heroes are forced to go to Liangshan?" Xia Tian reminded.
"Yes, that's right, it's the end of the hero, and he's forced to go to Liangshan." Cheng Long clapped his hands and smiled, "Oh, this word is right next to me, but I forgot it as soon as I opened my mouth, it's true!"
Xia Tian nodded and admired Cheng Long's vision very much. The part he mentioned was indeed the most sensational part in this movie and the one that resonated the most with the audience.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of this passage of Chen Jiaju's confession with grief and anger that he became a true hero with blood and tears, and the entire film was sublimated. If this passage is deleted, then this drama is not much different from other police and gangster films.
"What Brother Long said makes sense, I will pay attention." Xia Tian nodded and said.
"That's good." Seeing that he accepted his opinion, Cheng Long couldn't help but feel very proud. "A Tian, I want this story. When you look back, you can help me organize it into a script."
"Okay, Brother Long, I will give you the script within two days." Xia Tian agreed immediately.
"As for the remuneration, I will offer you a price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Cheng Long stretched out his finger and said.
Xia Tian was stunned. The price was twice as high as Hong Jingbao gave.
Then Cheng Long said again, "If you have a new script in the future, let's show it to me first."
Xia Tian smiled slightly and knew Cheng Long’s thoughts. He was worried that a good script would be snatched away first, so he wanted to buy a priority. But this would be good, and only by competing would you have higher returns.
"Okay, Brother Long, you will be given priority if you have scripts in the future." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Then it's just a matter of determination." Cheng Long smiled proudly when he saw him agreeing.
A script is only 100,000 yuan, while his profit for a blockbuster movie is 30 to 40 million. If he pays such a little bit of sweetness, he can hold summer in his hands. This transaction is worth it.
...
After dinner with Cheng Long, Xia Tian and Chen Yixin found another tea restaurant to continue eating.
They were only half full just now, and later they drank two pots of Pu'er tea with Cheng Long, and they had to eat and digest all the food. Now they are both hungry.
"Hey, what's this? I just took a few bites of that lobster when he asked someone to remove the table. It's really..." Chen Yixin couldn't help complaining.
I originally thought it would be a good thing to accompany Brother Cheng Long to a restaurant for a big meal, and I could take the opportunity to have a feast. I didn’t expect that I was not full at all and had to come to the tea restaurant to eat wonton noodles again. This disappointed him so much.
Xia Tian also smiled speechlessly. From this small incident, we can also see Cheng Long's personality. He is not a person who can consider others. No wonder he had such a stale relationship with the brothers of the Cheng Family Class in later generations. Even Chen Ziqiang, who had served him for more than 30 years, turned a frown with him.
"Okay, don't complain. Don't think about what he was from?! He was from a theater school and grew up with more than a dozen senior brothers since childhood. He doesn't have that much food to eat. If you grab it slowly, you may become hungry." Xia Tian advised.
He had watched "Seven Little Fu" starring Hong Jingbao before, and knew that Cheng Long had studied opera with his master Yu Zhanyuan since he was a child. He lived a very hard life, often unable to fill his stomach, and even had to steal the neighbors to dry salted fish. Because there were too many brothers, when it was time to eat, he was really quick and slow, and he would starve if he had a slower meal. Over time, he would naturally develop the problem of his urgent meals.
"Brother Tian said that, maybe people think we're eating slowly." Chen Yixin smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Tian, Cheng Long invited you to his family class and gave you a car. Why don't you accept it?" He was puzzled. If it were him, he would have woken up in his dreams.
"If you give gifts to others, you will ask for something! You are really giving other people's things for nothing?! There is no such a cheap thing in the world." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "He sent the car just to hope that I would join the family class, but have you not seen it yet. Cheng Long's behavior is too self-centered and he owns all his own benefits. If I go with him, I will never make a name for myself."
After hearing what Xia Tian said, Chen Yixin thought of the scene of eating just now, and couldn't help but nodded, "Brother Tian, you're right. He doesn't even have sincerity to invite others to dinner. When he's full, he doesn't care about others. If he wants to hang out with him, he really has no future. I'm afraid he won't even have food one day."
"You're right now." Xia Tian smiled.
"By the way, Brother Tian, you sold four scripts this time and you can get more than 200,000 yuan. Now you have money to pay off the loan shark. If you write more scripts in the future, you will not have to worry about not having a good life." Chen Yixin smiled and congratulated again.
Xia Tian laughed and shook his head and said, "What good life can you live by just writing scripts? People only buy scripts for 100,000 yuan, but you can make tens of millions of dollars by making movies. That is the real money making. Yixin, you must take a longer-term vision. If you want to make a lot of money, we have to make movies."
"But filming requires funds. Even a movie with a small cost will cost at least one million Hong Kong dollars." Chen Yixin frowned and said, "With funds, there must be actors, and there must be behind the scenes staff... There are a lot of things to do. Even if it is finally made into a movie, it will be a theater to be released and then wait for the box office dividends. If it is to be released to another place, it will also be a lot of trouble."
Chen Yixin grew up on Shaw Brothers' sets since childhood. Of course, he was clear about the matter here. He knew that movies could not be made by just making them.
"Of course I know all of these." Xia Tian glared at Chen Yixin angrily. This brat actually poured cold water on himself. "But if you don't fight these days, how can you make money?! It's impossible to expect pies from the sky! In short, I decided to invest in filming. Just say you're going to do it with me?"
"Of course I've had sex with you. Brother Tian, I'll go wherever you ask me to go!" Chen Yixin quickly patted his chest and said loyally, "I just reminded you not to be impulsive, so as not to lose all your capital in the end." He explained again.
He has lived in Shaw for so many years, but he has seen many directors spend their entire lives shooting a movie, thinking that he can make a lot of money, but after it was released, the box office was defeated and finally fell into poverty.
"I understand, good brother! Don't worry, I'm definitely not impulsive." Xia Tian patted Chen Yixin's shoulder gratefully and said.
