038 [With food in hand, don't panic]

After dinner, Xia Tian and Chen Yixin split into two groups.

Chen Yixin returned to Shaw Brothers set, and set off for Ming Pao Building in summer.

"Mr. Cha, this is the article I have summarized. Do you want to make any modifications?" Xia Tian sent his article to Jin Yong and said.

Jin Yong nodded, took it and read it carefully. Then he saw Xia Tian further elaborating his views on the future development of martial arts novels in this article.

In the beginning, he pointed out that the current martial arts novels have entered a dilemma, the subject matter is old, the authors are weak in innovation, readers are tired of emotions, and the sales and influence of martial arts novels are also declining, and it is time to change.

The latter part is his views on how martial arts novels should be changed, pointing out that the subject matter needs innovation and down-to-earth, and the author must also change his mind and not be conservative anymore. Only in this way can the martial arts novels be revitalized and win the love of readers again.

"Well, Ah Tian, ​​you wrote this article very well." Jin Yong smiled with satisfaction, "I didn't expect that you, a young man who just entered the industry, could see so thoroughly, but we old masters still rely on you to guide us. It's so embarrassing."

"Mr. Cha, don't say that. What kind of virtue can I dare to mention the word "guiding the way"? I'm just expressing some simple opinions. If it can be helpful to others, it would be great." Xia Tian waved his hand and said modestly.

"Okay, this article will be published tomorrow, and I will write another editor's note for you." Jin Yong smiled and said, "In addition, I will organize some martial arts novelists to hold a symposium in the past two days, and you can also participate in it."

"Mr. Cha, why are you so embarrassed?" Xia Tian said in surprise.

Jin Yongke is known as one of the four talents of Hong Kong. His pen is better than a thousand troops and has extremely high credibility in Hong Kong. If he wrote the editor's note for himself, it would be difficult for him to become famous.

"It's okay, these are all you deserve." Jin Yong said with a smile. Xia Tian shared all the ideas that might bring him tens of millions of wealth, so of course he should compensate him for his "fame".

"Then thank you Mr. Cha." Xia Tian smiled happily.

...

After returning from Ming Pao Building, Xia Tian dived into the house, first wrote the scripts of the two movies, "Police Story" and "Great Stars", and then completed the opening of "The Ming Yue of Qin".

Although Xia Tian had never seen the novel and animation version of "Qin Shi Ming Yue", he had participated in the filming of the TV series version, and he could be said to be familiar with the script. Now that he restored the script to a novel, it is just a piece of cake for him. Therefore, he wrote it very quickly, and in less than three hours, he had already written more than 10,000 words.

"Let's write these first today, it's time to rest." Xia Tian sorted out the manuscript and then said to himself.

Because the economic difficulties have been initially solved, summer no longer has to stay up all night and work hard to write. He also knows that the body is the capital of revolution, and if he doesn't take good care of it now, there will always be a day of regret in the future.

No words all night.

I woke up early the next day, and Xiatian went to Jiahe again to deliver the script.

"A Tian, ​​you are so capable. I really didn't read the wrong person after writing the script so quickly." After Hong Jingbao got the script of "The Great Stars", he smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Brother Hong, for the praise." Xia Tian smiled, and then said, "You can see if this script is suitable and if there is any need to be modified."

Hong Jingbao nodded, looked at it seriously, and was often amused by Xia Tian's ideas.

Especially when I saw that in order to take advantage of Bawanghua, Wufuxing actually pretended to be a robber in the house. Everyone took turns to tie the Bawanghua and ate tofu. It was hard for Xia Tian to think of it. It was so fun.

"Ah Tian, ​​you really have a set. OK, good, I'll accept this script." Hong Jingbao nodded and said, "By the way, I will lead a team to Japan in a few days. Do you want to go there with me? Usually, it's just to help you add some plots and modify the lines. It won't bother you too much. You can play casually in Japan for the rest of the time, and the money will be paid by the crew."

Xia Tian smiled and knew that the screenwriter followed the crew. Because there were often emergencies when filming, it was impossible to be exactly like the one written in the script. At this time, in order to continue shooting, the script must be temporarily modified, and the screenwriter must be present.

And in fact, this is also a benefit. After all, it is a fun place like Japan. You can take the opportunity to appreciate the Eastern style and have a good time playing on the Japanese island. If it were someone else, I would have long been eager to follow.

However, Xia Tian really couldn't get out of the way because he now has a lot of work. He also had to write "Qin Shi Mingyue" to provide for Jin Yong, and also wanted to make money for filming for Buck Ya Bing. He was so busy at work that he didn't have time to go to Japan for fun.

"No need, Brother Hong, I still have a lot to do in Hong Kong, but I really can't get away with it." Xia Tian shook his head and said, "You should take Mr. Huang Bingyao and Mr. Situ Zhuohan."

"What's so busy?" Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Ah Tian, ​​this is a good opportunity. I will probably have to stay for two months to lead the team to Japan this time. In two months, you can run a lap in the whole of Japan. It will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future."

This time I was able to follow him to Japan, but it was a very good benefit. I wonder how many people actively signed up. Because everyone knows that although I went to Japan to film, I usually have free fun, and the company is responsible for catering, food and accommodation, so I don’t have to spend a penny. There are not many opportunities for this kind of "public travel".

The last time he led the team out was when he was filming "Fast Food Truck" in 1983. The brothers lived in Spain for almost half a year, eating, drinking and having fun all day, and being able to soak up foreign girls, making everyone happy.

Xia Tian smiled and said what he wanted to do, "Brother Hong, look, I did not lie to you, I really didn't have time."

"That's a pity. The Japanese girl is very gentle." Seeing that he was so honest, Hong Jingbao nodded with a smile, "By the way, that buck-teeth Bing seems to be a C-level film, why did you get involved with him?" He frowned again and said.

He heard that Buck Ya Bing had about twenty brothers under his command, and opened a film company to shoot some unparalleled C-level films, and also claimed to be the "king of underground C-level films". Hong Jingbao never took the despicable characters like him, and he couldn't understand why Xia Tian would cooperate with such people.

"Isn't this all my dad causing trouble!" Xia Tian smiled bitterly and told the story.

After hearing this, Hong Jingbao couldn't help but get angry for Xia Tian. Such a father in the stall of his son would be killed. "Ah Tian, ​​do you want me to help you come forward and settle the buck-fang Bing? There is nothing to be afraid of like that kind of person." He patted his chest and said.

Although Buckya Bing is the boss with 24K hair, Hong Jingbao is not afraid of him at all. Buckya Bing only has more than twenty brothers, and Hong Jingbao has 40 Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts under him. Each of them can chop and kill with all their skills. It is a piece of cake to beat them. Otherwise, if you ask a few black X-song bosses to come forward, you will be so scared that Buckya Bing is so afraid that he will not even dare to fart.

"No need, Brother Hong, I'm working with him to film now. Although the process is not pleasant, there is not much conflict yet." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "If one day we are at a tense moment, I'll ask Brother Hong, you can take action."

"Okay. But working with people like Biaoya Bing is like trying to get a fucked with Hu. I suggest you draw a clear line with him as soon as possible. If you really want to film, then why not come and go with me. I will start as an assistant director. If you learn quickly, I will let you be the director within two years." Hong Jingbao said sincerely.

Xia Tian smiled. It would be nice to be able to study with Hong Jingbao, but it would take two years to become a director, and I don’t know when I can make a name for myself and develop my own career. Instead of doing this, it would be better to find another way.

"I remember, Brother Hong, thank you for your kindness." He nodded and said, "If I have no way out one day, I still hope that Brother Hong, you will still take me in."

...

After Xia Tian finished talking with Hong Jingbao, he took a check he signed out of 150,000 yuan.

In fact, according to common sense, the screenwriter's manuscript fee is not achieved in one step. Generally, a part of it is paid before the filming starts, and a part of it is paid before the filming is completed. The rest of the filming will be given before it is released. There is even an example where the screenwriter has not received a penny.

However, Hong Jingbao loved Xiatian as a talent and hoped to have a good relationship with him, so he decided to pay the manuscript fee in one lump sum. In this way, he would not suffer any losses, but also made Xiatian feel reliable enough and lay a good foundation for the next cooperation.

Xia Tian felt warm in his heart with the check in his pocket. As the saying goes, he had food in his hand, and he was not panicked. He had been traveling to Hong Kong for so many days and had received so much money today. It was the first time he felt at ease.

"After paying off the loan shark, work harder and earn a million, and then start making your own movies." Xia Tian said to himself in his heart.
