"Then when will your "Oriental Condor" be released, say hello to me in advance. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info If the date hits, then I will miss the release half a month later. Summer thought for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Hey, okay, that's really going to be a face, Brother Xia. When Hong Jingbao heard this, he smiled happily.

In the summer, the lineup of "Once Upon a Time" is so strong and the popularity is so high, once it collides with his "Oriental Condor", the best result is also a lose-lose, and the worst result is that he is crushed by the summer.

But now I'm not afraid. Half a month after the release date, by that time, the box office of "Oriental Condor" had almost sold out, even if it was robbed of the rest of the box office by "Huang Feihong".

"You're welcome, Brother Hong. Summer smiled and said, "By the way, where did your "Oriental Condor" go?"

"We're only halfway there. In that broken place in Thailand, there is a lot of rain, a lot of typhoons, a lot of mosquitoes, and inconvenient roads, and it's really torturous to film. Hong Jingbao complained.

The movie "Oriental Condor" is a story of the Vietnam War, in which the U.S. government sent a death squad composed of illegal immigrants and criminals to North Vietnam to rescue American soldiers captured by North Vietnam and blow up the ammunition left by the United States in North Vietnam.

Although the story is filmed in North Vietnam, South Vietnam is now closed to the rest of the country, so the Hong Kong crew can't get in at all. And people won't allow them to make movies with such content at all, so they can't smear their own faces, so Hong Jingbao can only shoot in Thailand.

In the 80s, Thailand was still very underdeveloped and its infrastructure was very backward. The crew filmed there and really suffered a lot.

Especially that place is tropical, and there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. And they were all filming in the rainforest, which is a mosquito-dense area, so everyone suffers from bites.

Like Hong Jingbao when he was at his worst, there were nearly 100 red spots all over his body, itching uncomfortably, no matter how much mosquitoes he wiped, it didn't work, and he couldn't wait to draw a knife to cut the flesh.

In addition, like Menghai was once stung by a scorpion, his fingers were black, and Zhong Fa was also bitten by a snake, but fortunately, even if he was injected with serum, there was no danger to his life.

In addition, there were many typhoons and rain, which also seriously slowed down the filming process of the movie.

Thailand has three seasons in a year, a hot season, a rainy season, and a cool season. The rainy season lasts for five months from June to October. During this period, it rained almost every day, and it was impossible to film at all. Therefore, although filming of this drama started last year, so far, it is only half filmed.

"It's not easy to make a film across borders. Summer nodded.

In the previous life, many mainland films also went abroad for filming, such as "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" went to Thailand to shoot, which also took a long time and encountered many difficulties.

Because the ancients said well, it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a while. Filming on your own turf, communication is convenient, resources are abundant, and filming is relatively simple. When I went to other places to film, I didn't understand the language and had difficulty communicating. And resources are limited, if you want to make a good film, you have to put in more effort.

He didn't advise Hong Jingbao to take such a big risk at the beginning, but he was full of confidence at the beginning, and he had to try, so he suffered a lot now.

"I knew that filming this drama was so sinful, and I wouldn't have been stupid in the first place. Hong Jingbao also sighed, "I just hope that this drama will achieve a high box office in the end, so that everyone's hard work is worth it." Otherwise, I really have no shame to see Jiangdong's father. ”

Summer sighed when she heard him say this. In his memory, the box office of this "Oriental Condor" was not high, and even the cost was not recovered.

Because Hong Kong has been colonized by the British since the last century, it has not experienced any wars except for a brief period occupied by the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War.

Therefore, the Hong Kong people lack unforgettable resonance for military-themed movies, and it is difficult to empathize with and be moved, so it is naturally difficult to be interested in such movies.

Therefore, Hong Jingbao made a desperate bet this time, and the filming of "Oriental Condor" was destined to hit the street. And he can't do anything, he can only watch him fail step by step, which is really a deep sense of powerlessness.

……

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

When everyone was busy serving wine and toasting people, Yuan Biao beckoned to Xia, "Brother Xia~"

Summer was stunned for a moment, got up and went out of the restaurant with him.

"Give~" Yuan Biao took out a cigarette, handed one to Summer, and after helping him light it, he also lit one himself.

Poof!

Yuan Biao watched the smoke slowly disperse, and his eyes were confused.

"What's the matter, Brother Biao, do you have something on your mind?" Seeing this, Summer smiled slightly.

Yuan Biao turned his head to look over, and asked with some restraint, "Can I still call you Brother Xia now?"

"Absolutely. Xia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Without Brother Biao and Brother Hong's support, how could I have today's achievements? ”

"Hmm. Hearing him say this, Yuan Biao suddenly laughed with relief.

"What, Brother Biao, do you want me to help you with something? If there is anything, just ask, as long as you can help, I will do my best. Summer then asked.

"Yes, but I'm embarrassed to say. Yuan Biao said with a little embarrassment.

"Tell me, what is there to say about our brothers. Summer smiled.

"Okay then, then I'll be cheeky. Yuan Biao was silent for a while, then plucked up the courage to say, "That's the case, you also know that I, Senior Brother, and Ah Long went hand in hand at the beginning, and our reputation was about the same. ”

Summer nodded.

Yuan Biao's fame was indeed on par with Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao for a time. Especially the three brothers co-starred in "Plan A" and "Food Truck", the roles are roughly the same, and the roles are wonderful.

"But in the past year, my career has declined so much, not to mention compared with Ah Long, even compared with my senior brother, there is a significant gap. Yuan Biao said distressedly.

Cheng Long relied on "Police Story" the year before last to successfully transform from a kung fu boy in the early Republic of China to a brave detective. Last year, with "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", he once again set off a wave of action movie craze, and his popularity is getting higher and higher.

Hong Jingbao's "Rich Train" launched last year also had a very good box office, and the year before last, "Lucky Stars" and "Summer Lucky Stars" were box office hits, making him the most popular action star in Hong Kong for a time.

And Yuan Biao's "Law Enforcement Pioneer" filmed last year only had a box office of more than 10 million, which was far inferior to Cheng Long's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother". has just finished "Fairy in the Painting", and he played a supporting role for Zhang Xueyou. Although he doesn't say anything, and he is very careful when filming, he is actually a little awkward in his heart.

"Brother Biao means ......" Summer asked with a deep groan.

"I hope Brother Xia can help me write a script so that I can regain my strength. Yuan Biao gritted his teeth and said cheekily.

If you want to make a good movie, you have to have a good script. But Yuan Biao's luck is relatively poor, unlike his senior brother Huang Bingyao, nor like Cheng Long who has Deng Jinghui, he has no talent to assist and lacks a good script, so the hero is useless, and it is useless to fight, so he has to ask for help from the summer.

However, Yuan Biao also knows that the summer script is not good. Hong Jingbao originally exchanged Lin Zhengying and Yuan Kuicai for a few scripts, and he had nothing but himself.

Moreover, Xia is now the big boss of Tianxia Pictures, and he himself is an artist under Golden Harvest, and they are in competition with each other, so people really can't write scripts to cheapen him. So Yuan Biao is now opening his mouth to the summer, and he really hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind.

"This ......" Summer hesitated for a moment, but didn't agree immediately.

Although he admires Yuan Biao's personality, he has a straightforward personality, is low-key, modest and cautious, and is a very virtuous artist. But character belongs to character, business belongs to business, even if it is a Confucian saint, he can't go into someone's store and take things casually without giving money.

"Ah Tian, I know that your script can't be given to people easily, and you must pay a price. In this way, you give me a script, and I will help you shoot two plays for free in the future, how about it?" Yuan Biao saw that he hesitated, and hurriedly said again.

The summer script, which is now priced at 5 million Hong Kong dollars outside, is still priceless. And his salary is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and the two movies are 6 million, which can almost be considered even.

"Oh well. Summer nodded, "Then Brother Biao, when are you going to get the script?"

"Of course, the sooner the better. Yuan Biao saw that she agreed, and immediately smiled.

"Okay, then I'll give it to you tomorrow. Summer nodded.

"Tomorrow?!" Yuan Biao's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this.

Summer smiled, "Of course, I don't lie to you. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news tomorrow. Yuan Biao said happily.

……

After eating, Summer took a car home with Wang Qixian.

"Brother Tian, what did Brother Biao ask you to go out for?" Wang Qixian asked curiously.

"Oh, he wanted me to help him write a script. Summer explained.

"Oh, that's right. Wang Qixian nodded, "Then you promised him?"

"Yes. I helped him write a script, he helped me make two films, and everyone benefited, and no one owed anyone. Summer smiled slightly.

Although Yuan Biao's popularity has declined in the past two years, his fame is still there. The so-called tiger is heroic, and he is still a kung fu star with high box office appeal in the Hong Kong film industry, and he still enjoys a high reputation overseas.

If you ask him to make a movie, I dare not say that at least two movies, it is not a problem to earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars, so this business can definitely be done.

"He helped you make a movie?!, can Boss Zou be willing?" Wang Qixian asked worriedly when he heard this.

"What if you don't want to, does he dare to fight me?" said Summer.

If Jiahe really dares to make trouble, he just gives him an excuse to swallow it. (To be continued.) )
