1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 412: Make a TV series if you lose money!

Chapter 412: Make a TV series if you lose money!
In fact, during the time since Xia Tian came back, Hong Kong often called. Sometimes Xia Tian answered the phone, and sometimes Xiao Xu or Zhang Li answered the phone.

At that time, Aying and Wang Fei were both very well-behaved and could even chat with each other for a while.

If Milan answered the phone, they would have to chat for five or eight minutes.

On April 4, Wang Fei called and said that the movie “Terracotta Warriors” starring Zhang Yimou and Gong Li was released, and the attendance seemed to be quite good.

It was the original author and screenwriter Li Bihua who specifically asked Zhang Yimou to play the role, saying that he looked like a Terracotta Warrior.

He was criticized because of his divorce in 88 and his affair with Gong Li was exposed. He went to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight and made movies at the same time.

Who would have thought that his leg would be broken by a car while filming – there was a scene in modern times where he was resurrected and running around in traffic and on car roofs, and that was probably this scene.

During the meal, Lao Mouzi complained about this a lot, which made Xia Tian laugh so hard that he couldn’t hold back his laughter.

Oh, by the way, the Qin Shi Huang in this movie is played by Lu Shuming – Guan Yu~
The theme song of this movie, “Burning Heart with Fire”, is also very classic.

And because Zhang Yimou was punished to be sealed in the Terracotta Warriors in the film, later rumors began to spread that there were people wrapped in the Terracotta Warriors!
Wang Fei also said that Xia Tian and A Ying’s “The Bodyguard” became a big hit in Korea?!

They even wanted to invite Xia Tian and A Ying to walk the runway for publicity!
It is said that it became a hit as soon as it was released, and now it is among the top three movies in terms of annual audience volume!
Xia Tian was also surprised: No reason?! Why would Koreans like it?!
But the film is a big hit in Japan and South Korea, which is definitely a good thing. I can receive some money later, and now I am also an international star~
(Originally I wanted to write about the Korean plot, the sisters of Samsung’s eldest daughter Lee Boo-jin, but later the Japanese and Korean plots and the heroine were cut~)

On April 4, Faye Wong and Anita Mui called and told her something that Xia Tian had been worried about.

It was said that on the 10th, a tycoon named Wang in Hong Kong was kidnapped.

After being kidnapped, although his family paid 6000 million US dollars, his whereabouts have been unknown.

In fact, before this case happened, he was kidnapped in April 83 and was redeemed after paying a ransom of 4 million US dollars.

Wang Daheng is a famous Hong Kong businessman who runs real estate business and was once one of the top ten richest businessmen in Hong Kong. He was worth billions in the 1980s!
He entered the real estate industry earlier than Li Huanggua, and it is said that he was the one who proposed the installment payment concept.

He was well-known for his thriftiness among the super-rich in Hong Kong. But because he was too stingy, he felt it was not worthwhile to hire a bodyguard after a while, so he fired him… What?!
The kidnapping case was eventually solved, but according to the confessions of some of the arrested suspects, Wang Daheng was thrown into the high seas on April 90, 4, and his body was never recovered.

The ultimate mastermind behind this seems to be a retired captain, and there may even be spies on the island involved!
The team of less than twenty people came from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan!
The inside story is confusing and very complicated!
This case was later adapted into the movie “Major Crime Squad”, starring Big Nose Dragon and Fat Cat.

This is one of the early police and gangster action films of Big Nose Dragon, and can be seen as a pioneering attempt for the later “Police Story”.

……

Seeing that the table was in a mess, Xia Tian thought it was about time to finish his meal, so he went to the front counter to pay the bill.

Ma Dudu had been noticing this for a long time. Although he wanted to get his money back, his face was more important than anything else, so he hurried over to stop them.

“No, no! This time I’ll just treat it as a welcome party for you. Can I still let you spend money to come to my place?”

The scene is very interesting, and the donkey will never fall down.

But Ma Dudu can’t really stop Xia Tian – small one~
So he just hugged him around the waist and refused to let him pay.

He even yelled to the cashier: “No, it’s not OK~”

Xia Tian took out the money, counted the items and put them on the counter, then said to Ma Dudu, “Don’t fight with me! It’s like making a fool of yourself~”

“Let me go first, I have something to tell you…”

“When I went to eat at Fangyan’s place, I never ate for free. You know, I earn a lot, so I won’t take advantage of you…”

“What I want to say is that if you keep doing this, you won’t be able to keep it open for long. How much have you lost now?”

When Ma Dudu heard this, his old face became haggard: “Don’t mention it…”

“How many?”

“I invested 430,000 yuan at the beginning, but now not only have I not made back my money, I am losing more and more!” When Ma Dudu said this, he wanted to find a cigarette and take a few puffs.

Ma Dudu sighed to Xia Tian, ​​”Four hundred and thirty thousand dollars, it’s all gone down the drain.”

He really can’t hold on any longer. His daily expenses are not enough to make ends meet, and the more he holds on, the more he loses!

But it’s also a joke that it just went bankrupt. What should we do?

Xia Tian said: “Well, I have an idea.”

“It’s just right. You have all kinds of people here. We can use this venue to shoot a TV series under the name of ‘Seahorse Ballroom’. Once it sells, won’t we make money back?” “Is it okay?” Ma Dudu was a little overjoyed, his eyes widened.

“Remove the word ‘ma’ and quickly find Pants Fangyan and the others. Look for these friends to guest star in the entire script. The drinks are free, but there is no pay!”

Ma Dudu was inspired by Xia Tian’s words, as if he had discovered a new world!
I have to find them right away to prepare the script, find a director, and set the scene…

At the same time, we also invite those people in the circle who come to support the event but do not consume any money to make guest appearances.

Later, Yu Qian, Zhang Guoli, Yingda, Jin Xing and Huang Lei all starred in this TV series.

Many years later, Ma Dudu revealed on “A Date with Luyu” that the indoor TV series “Seahorse Ballroom” earned him millions.

Before filming “Seahorse Ballroom”, Ma Dudu was just a street vendor hanging around in Panjiayuan. It was this TV series that helped him transform into a player at Sotheby’s auction house and made him a master in the collecting world.

Of course, that is all later. Now, Xia Tian is the famous big shot in the Yanjing collection circle~
……

Speaking of collecting, I took some time to visit Panjiayuan two days ago in the summer.

The main thing was to look for Lao Hu and Fatty – Fatty asked someone to deliver a message saying that they were getting married!

Well, the person he is going to marry is Pants’ sister Ding Sitian.

Pants was the oldest who was not happy about this marriage, but seeing that Xia Tian really had no intention of doing so, plus he had too many female confidantes and his sister couldn’t get in line, there was nothing he could do.

Xia Tian congratulated Fatty and Ding Sitian, and also talked to Lao Hu about when he and Shirley Yang would do something big…

Afterwards, I took advantage of the evening to visit the ghost market stalls.

At this time, Panyuanzi has become a ghost market.

It was really a show by both humans and ghosts. Everyone held a flashlight and spoke to each other in a low voice, as if afraid of being heard. In the early years, people even used gestures in their sleeves to bargain, and buyers and sellers tried their luck in front of the dim stalls.

You know what, under such conditions, even Xia Tian couldn’t see things clearly from two or three steps away.

But once you hold it in your hand, you can tell whether it’s real or fake.

I walked around for more than ten minutes, my hands were covered in dirt, and I didn’t even spend a penny in summer.

Either it’s not worth it, or it’s not the real thing at all.

Maybe it’s because real things are not put on stalls in ghost markets, so this is where people get cheated!

Summer is boring and it’s time to go.

As a result, he reached out and grabbed the hand that was reaching into his trouser pocket.

Xia Tian grabbed him and lifted him up, making the Buddha stand on tiptoe like a chicken, and he was still screaming!
Don’t tell me, it’s not just one person! A gang committed the crime!

As soon as the thief shouted, two people came over from not far away.

Xia Tian was so angry that he laughed. The public security is getting worse again!
“Hey, there are still a lot of people? You can’t be so rampant!” Xia Tian swung his hand and kicked the thief far away.

Then I started to roll up my sleeves to give these ignorant people a little moral education!
Xia Tian: Damn, we have to clean up this antique market today.

Unexpectedly, one of the men over there suddenly reached out to stop his accomplice: “Oh, you really don’t know a great man, Brother Tianer! Don’t be angry, it was my fault. I apologize to you, I apologize!”

The man immediately bowed.

When Xia Tian heard the noise and looked carefully, he actually recognized the person. They had fought each other in previous years!
I didn’t expect that I’m still in this line of work.

The three thieves ran away immediately without daring to say a single harsh word.

There was no further action in the summer, as I thought that it would take another few years before there would be another severe crackdown.

When the stall owners nearby heard that it was Brother Tianer, they no longer cared about pretending to be superior and kept inviting Xia Tian to their stalls, saying that they had good things and asked him to take a look.

Xia Tian waved his hand to refuse and left.
