1324【Curry Chili】
In the afternoon, Xia Tian returned to the company and finished the script of "Curry Chili". Then he summoned Qiu Shuzhen to tell her the good news personally. How could he pretend to be someone to bring closer relationships and increase his favorability like this?
After receiving the call, Qiu Shuzhen immediately took a taxi to Tianxia Film.
"Mr. Xia, are you looking for me?" After entering the door, she said nervously, not understanding what Xia Tian had to do with her.
Xia Tian smiled and nodded, "No, Miss Qiu, please sit down!"
When he saw Qiu Shuzhen, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
She is actually not a stunning look when it comes to facial features. Because she has flaws in her face, her chin is too sharp, her mid-small is too short, and her nasolabial folds are obvious.
However, these appearance shortcomings gave her unique charm. Her pointed chin made her look playful, her short body made her facial features more concise, and some nasolabial folds also made her cheeks full.
Coupled with her pure and unrestrained temperament and sexy and hot figure, she has the capital to compete for beauty with first-line beauties. Even compared with Lin Qingxia, Wang Xianxian, Guan Zhilin and Li Jiaxin, they are not inferior.
"In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, there are so many beautiful women." Xia Tian couldn't help thinking.
Today alone, he had already met four beauties, Wang Xiaoxian who got up early, Li Jiaxin in the morning, Ye Yuqing in the afternoon, and Qiu Shuzhen in the afternoon...
These four are not only beautiful women, but also beautiful with their own characteristics. Wang Qixian's purity, Li Jiaxin's coldness, Ye Yuqing's sexy, Qiu Shuzhen's charm... It's really a competition of beauty and various shapes that makes the little bee in summer linger.
...
"Mr. Xia" Qiu Shuzhen sat down and saw Xia Tian's eyes empty, as if she was in a daze, and she couldn't help but shout softly.
"Ah, sorry." Xia Tian came to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "Miss Qiu, I invite you here today, there is good news to tell you."
"What good news?" Qiu Shuzhen asked in surprise when she heard this.
"That's right. I've written a script for you these two days. You can take it to read it." Xia Tian smiled, and then handed the script of "Curry Chili" to Qiu Shuzhen.
When Qiu Shuzhen learned that Xia Tian helped him write the script, he was also as surprised as Li Jiaxin. Because in the Hong Kong film industry, Xia Tian’s script is recognized as good. Some companies outside paid 5 million to buy it, but they had no way to buy it. Now, he is willing to write for himself, which really makes Qiu Shuzhen overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia, thank you!" She stood up excitedly and bowed repeatedly to thank her.
"Enough, enough." Xia Tian stopped him with a smile, "You can read the script first. If you think it's good, then you'll be ready to start filming."
"Okay." Qiu Shuzhen nodded and quickly opened the script and started reading it.
She quickly finished reading the 24,000-word script, without the ink marks of Li Jiaxin.
"What do you think? Do you think it's wrong?" Xia Tian asked then.
"No, it's awesome!" Qiu Shuzhen waved her hand quickly.
She has never been exposed to movie scripts before, and she has no high appreciation for scripts. She doesn't know what a good script or a bad script is. However, after she read "Curry Chili", she felt that the two characters of Curry and Chili are really interesting.
The two of them have a tacit understanding, care about each other in life, and fight side by side at work, just like brothers. This relationship is really touching. Therefore, she thinks this must be a good script.
...
"Mr. Xia, which role do you want me to play?" Qiu Shuzhen asked curiously.
"Of course it's that 'Haimi'!" Xia Tian blurted out, and then realized that something was wrong, so he quickly corrected it, "It's the character 'Miss Luo'."
When Qiu Shuzhen heard him say the word "Haimimi". Undeniable that her relationship was also very informative, which made her proud. However, being called "Haimimi" still made her feel a little shy.
"Ms. Luo has a lot of roles, which is a big test for you, a newcomer. I wonder if you have the confidence to play her well?" Xia Tian asked again.
"Well, I will definitely work hard." Qiu Shuzhen nodded vigorously, and then asked curiously, "By the way, Mr. Xia, I don't know who I want to act in this drama with?"
"You want to star in this drama with Liu Dehua." Xia Tian said with a smile.
Although La Jiao, played by Zhou Xingchi, is also the protagonist, he is not well-known, so Xia Tian did not mention him.
"Really?!Wow!" Qiu Shuzhen's eyes were illuminated when she heard this.
Liu Dehua is a top young actor in the Hong Kong film industry today and is very popular. His movies starring him such as "Best Bad Friend", "People's Prince", "Hardcover Girls 2", etc., have achieved very good box office results.
She herself is also one of Liu Dehua's fans. She has liked this handsome guy very much since he was filming TV series on wireless. She especially likes his roles in "The Falcon", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron". She was so happy to learn that she could play with him and play a couple!
"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" She then thanked Xia Tian sincerely.
Xia Tian not only helped her write the script, but also arranged for a first-line actor like Liu Dehua to partner with her. Obviously, she was vigorously supporting herself, so how could she not be grateful?
"You don't have to be polite. Since you are from the company, it's the company's right to support you." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "But this time, in addition to Liu Dehua, there are also veteran actors such as Wu Mengda, Zhou Xingchi, and Huang Zheng, so your performance cannot be too bad, otherwise I will not be ashamed."
"I understand, Mr. Xia, I will definitely perform well." Qiu Shuzhen couldn't help but look shaking when she heard him say this, and nodded cautiously.
Xia Tian said it well. This filming is indeed a good opportunity for her. If she performs well, it is not a problem to become famous. But if she performs poorly and wastes such a good opportunity, it will be difficult to be praised in the future.
"That's good, then you go back and prepare first, carefully ponder the role, and wait for the announcement of the startup." Xia Tian said again, then took out a business card from the drawer, "If you have any questions, call me directly."
"Ah, OK, thank you Mr. Xia, then I'll leave first." Qiu Shuzhen nodded, took the business card, and then walked out.
...
After Qiu Shuzhen left, Du Qifeng also came to the company.
"Director Du, please sit down." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "How is the post-production of "Pi Li Pioneer", I'm waiting to see your masterpiece!"
"Mr. Xia is so polite. My movie is not a masterpiece." Du Qifeng waved his hand awkwardly. In front of Xia Tian, any Hong Kong director dared to claim that his movie was a masterpiece? That wasn't it because he was playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong and overestimating his ability.
"The post-production is about to be completed, and it is estimated that it will be released in another week." He then said.
"Very good." Xia Tian nodded, and then handed him the script of "Curry Pepper". "There is a new script here. If you think it's good, then continue to direct this movie after "Pi Lie Pioneer" is released."
Du Qifeng was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "Mr. Xia, I'm afraid I can't direct it."
Xia Tian blinked, "Why, Director Du, you took on a new show? Why don't I know?"
"No, it's because my body can't support it." Du Qifeng waved his hand and said awkwardly.
He devotes all his energy to it as soon as he films. In order to make a good scene, he can stay away from sleep for days and nights, so filming is a very hard job for him.
In his previous life, even though he became the only big director in Hong Kong, he only made one or two movies a year because his body could not bear it.
Xia Tian nodded, "Okay, then you can go back and take good care of your health first. I'll find someone else to film this drama."
"Mr. Xia, I want to recommend Chen Musheng to take pictures to you." Du Qifeng said quickly when he heard this.
"Chen Musheng?!" Xia Tian was stunned.
He originally wanted to invite Liu Zhenwei to film. Grape is a talented person himself, and he can play with commercial and artistic films. Commercial films such as "The Gambler", "The East is the West", "The Unparalleled World", and literary films such as "The 92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose", "Citi Shaolin", "One-half Bed" and so on.
Although the drama "Curry Pepper" is a commercial film with comedy and gun battles, it has a strong artistic film flavor. For example, the relationship between Curry and Haimi is not abrupt in any romantic film. Therefore, it is quite appropriate to act with grapes.
However, now Du Qifeng recommends Chen Musheng, which makes him hesitate.
Chen Musheng is also a good director. He has also filmed many classic works in his previous life, such as "The New Crane Ding Needle", "The Street of the Stormtrooper's Rage", "Who Am I", "Sanchakou", etc. It seems that it is good to hand over this "Curry Pepper" to him to direct it.
"Okay, since you recommend it to Director Du, let Director Chen try it." Xia Tian nodded and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Du Qifeng couldn't help feeling shining on his face when he saw Xia Tian giving him such face.
"You don't have to be polite, then you can ask him to see me tomorrow." Xia Tian instructed again.
Du Qifeng nodded.
...
In the evening, I returned home in summer.
"Sir, you are back." When Sister Wu saw him, she came up enthusiastically, "I'll help you get your clothes."
"Okay, thank you." Xia Tian nodded and took off the suit and gave it to her.
"Sir, Axin is young and ignorant. Don't worry, I will persuade her." Sister Wu said in a low voice while picking up her clothes.
Xia Tian was stunned, then smiled, knowing that Sister Wu was talking about what Li Jiaxin refused to pursue.
"Ah, OK." He nodded.
"But Ah Xin has always been stubborn, and sometimes she dares not listen to my words. So don't worry, spend more time and energy, and the metal and stone that comes from sincerity will come true, and one day it will come true." Sister Wu said again.
Chapter completed!
