Chapter 70 The Swordsman II: Invincible in the East

At Xiaotian Advertising Company, most of the employees are now preparing for the later marketing plan of Weixidi.

This time it was a huge hit at the beginning of the year!
However, the subsequent marketing plan cannot be relaxed, and this aspect is basically "outsourced" to Xiaotian.

The price is also very high~
Moreover, this project has made Xiaotian Advertising famous throughout the country. Its all-round, multi-angle and three-dimensional advertising and marketing model is something that can only be seen in China now.
Not only are the few advertising industry colleagues dumbfounded, but even the private enterprises that are still in their infancy are following suit and learning from them.

Many bosses have already made up their minds - once their products are almost ready, they will directly contact Xiaotian Advertising and come up with a complete marketing plan!

This is amazing~
Familiar characters such as Liu Xiaoqing, Gong Li, and Ge You appeared in the advertisement. Each of them introduced the functions and conveniences of the Vixidi DVD player in two sentences. Finally, all the images were collected into a CD, which was put into the DVD player by Xia Tian and played on TV.

This advertisement makes all aspiring bosses itch!
And it was the first time for these stars to discover that advertising is so profitable.

Xiaotian Advertising paid each of these people a salary of 50,000 to 80,000 yuan!

I only spent half a day shooting and earned tens of thousands of dollars!

This money is a bit too good, isn't it?!

……

Various newspapers were also discussing the emerging Vixidi DVD player.

Fifty or sixty million in sales in just two weeks? What kind of terrifying statistic is that?!

No, Brother Tianer, you can make such a big move at once, right?

Ku Cha went into business without a second thought, and became a top entrepreneur in an instant?
That day, everyone recalled the fear of being dominated by summer~
I vaguely remember that the share of his music album and novel sales worth more than one million RMB was widely reported in various media.

Even the chief engineer said that comrades in the literary and artistic circles can also make contributions.
At that time, Xia Tian had already started to earn one to eight hundred thousand yuan in foreign exchange every year.

I didn’t expect that after a few years, he would do something big again!

Is this considered a positive response to the call in the summer?!
Black cat or white cat, is it considered a cow cat in summer?

It’s worthy of being called a flag!

However, some people hold different attitudes towards this matter. After all, the Weixidi product is more expensive than ordinary color TVs, yet it can sell so many in a short period of time!
It really makes people feel uncomfortable!

So, someone brought out the lines of the "young amateur scientist version of Xia Tian" in "The Story of the Editorial Department" - sensual pleasures and the desire for food and drink are all traps of consumerism and barriers that hinder the further evolution of mankind!
Some newspapers even published stills from the show!
In the summer, he has an unshaven beard, greasy and messy hair, wears a pair of old glasses, and his eyes are vicissitudes of life and a bit of inexplicable sadness... and then he adds this sentence!

Many viewers couldn't stop laughing when they saw the photo in the newspaper.

During the segment called "The Story of the Editorial Department", not only did the characters in the play mistakenly think that Xia Tian was some kind of folk scientific research expert, but countless viewers also thought so!

I never expected that he would be a fugitive mentally ill person in the end?!
An indescribable absurdity and black humor.

Now, watching this incident together with this report, it is another kind of magical feeling.

Even more black humor!
In short, entertainment news cannot exist without summer; just like Tianjin cannot exist without Jianbingguozi~
……

Wei Xidi became an instant hit, and the post-production of Farewell My Concubine was also completed, and Dachun made a significant contribution to this.

In the early summer, he got a camera from old Palo, so he and Dachun took photos all over Yanjing City, intending to leave behind the impression of the times.

Dachun was usually the one taking photos, and there's even a photo of him sitting on the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City during the summer. Back then, the rules were lax, and they'd often sneak in and wander around during the summer.
It was also the spring brought by countless rolls of film in the summer that made him very sensitive to light and color.

The cameras at that time were not point-and-shoot cameras. Exposure needed to be adjusted manually. There were special exposure cards for comparison, and then adjustments were made according to the index.

But Dachun has mastered the art of sensing light with his naked eyes, and he can find the correct exposure directly without even looking at an exposure card!

It was thanks to his unique skills in light and color that he entered the entertainment industry, and as an assistant director he was mainly responsible for photography and other work.

He was responsible for adjusting the colors in the post-production of "Farewell My Concubine".

Xia Tian contacted someone and sent "Farewell My Concubine" to Cannes for the exhibition.

In 90, his short film "Buried" was exhibited in Cannes through the relationship with director King Hu, and eventually won the Palme d'Or for Short Films.

There he met a good friend, French actor Gerard Depardieu.

That year he won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in the film "Cyrano de Bergerac".

The two met because of food, and after more than ten days they became close friends.

Even in the 90 Asian Games, Xia Tian invited him to play and hosted him in Yanjing.

Unexpectedly, the French big nose is one of the judges of Cannes this year!

Haha, there's such a good thing? Now I have the advantage~
After sending the film away, Xia Tian arranged the subsequent sales and production plans for Weixidi.

Then he said goodbye to Milan, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li and flew to Hong Kong.

Xu Ke, through Lin Qingxia, persuaded Sister Yun to invite Xia Tian to play Linghu Chong in "Swordsman 2". Even if he didn't give face to others, he had to give it to Sister Yun.

Besides, I guess Sister Yun is missing me, as she calls me for more than half an hour.

I have to hurry over to relieve my longing~
In early March, summer arrived in Hong Kong.

……

Today's paparazzi are so well-informed.

As soon as Xia Tian got off the plane, he hugged Sister Yun, Aying, Wang Fei and others. Before they could even kiss each other, the paparazzi arrived and started taking pictures.

There was also a brave one who asked from a distance: "Brother Tian'er, are you thinking about beautiful women when you return to Hong Kong this time?"

People here now have a strange consciousness - summer belongs to Hong Kong, and coming here is like going home!
Xia Tian could only wave his hand: "Of course I thought about it. I'll find time to talk to you guys tomorrow. I'm leaving now. Bye~"

Xia Tian got into Aying's car. Aying was driving, he was sitting in the passenger seat, and Sister Yun and Wang Fei were in the back seat.

Brother Yong drove another car, carrying the young bodyguard, all the way to Repulse Bay.

That afternoon, Xia Tian invited Mei Gu and several other friends to dinner, and then called Xu Laoguai.

At night, a short separation is better than a new marriage, the red quilt is turned over by the waves and the heart is told~
The next day, I got up early for morning exercise and a group of paparazzi were waiting for me.

In the summer, he would chat with them while running, and many Hong Kong people would greet him on the way.

And the old man asked, "Tian'erzi, are you back to make a movie?"

"Yes, uncle, there is a movie to be made!"

At the morning tea shop, Xia Tian treated a dozen paparazzi to a big meal and answered some questions.

In the morning, he went to Xu Laoguai's film studio. What he didn't expect was that he met a man here - Zhang Tielin.
This guy is also from Yandian, and he acted in "Under the Bridge" with Gong Xue!

It is obvious that the emperor likes the outside world very much, so he has come to Hong Kong.

In the future, he will go to the troublemaker Britain and say nonsense like they will help us keep our cultural relics!
Xia Tian nodded to him without saying anything.

I discussed "Swordsman 2" with Xu Ke this morning.

Xia Tian is too opinionated. After all, he is a big director, so most directors don’t dare to ask him to act - it’s easy for him to steal the show.

However, Xia Tian himself is actually very sensible. He just acts as an actor. Even if he has his own opinions, he will never tell you unless you ask him, and he will never give you any advice.

This is completely different from other actors and directors who are very expressive - right, Marvin?

Xia Tian and Xu Ke talked a lot about the film's artistic expression, mainly the martial arts style.

Then I took the script back and prepared.

As soon as I got home, I took out my sword and practiced a few sword techniques to get a feel for it!
However, Xu Ke's martial arts films have always been elegant in style, and this time's "Swordsman 2" is no exception. The Dugu Nine Swords are almost becoming flying swords, so they still need to be made special.

However, if Xia Tian can't perform this sword technique well, it means there is something wrong with the design of this sword technique.

In fact, there was an internal reason why Xu Ke asked Xia Tian to film "Swordsman 2: Unbeaten in the East".

For the same price, although Sam Hui is quite popular, he cannot compare with Xia Tian.

After all, he has no martial arts background, so his fighting scenes are very limited, and many action designs are restrictive.

I should have found Li Lianjie because he plays beautifully and is cheap!

His current offer is HK$150 million. Xia Tian's is HK$500 million, the same as A Rong's, and one million cheaper than Liu Dehua.
But Xia Tian doesn’t want money, he wants a share of the profits!

To be honest, Brother Tianer doesn't really care about your five million.

If you hadn't found Sister Yun to persuade him, he might not have acted even if he was offered a share.

Although Weixidi’s 5000 million is only sales revenue, the production cost of this thing is less than 80 yuan, and it is sold for only 2999 yuan!
And there’s also income from discs… Xia Tian isn’t short of money anyway!

But if they really wanted to ask Li Lianjie to shoot the film, Princess Jin, the big financial backer behind Xu Ke, would not agree.

Instead of saving more than 3 million, it’s better to ask Xia Tian to come.

Because he has box office guarantees in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

If he stars in this film, it can earn an additional 20 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars at the overseas box office.

Isn’t it hard to tell which one is bigger and which one is smaller?
As for not wanting remuneration but wanting a share of the profits, doesn’t that mean that they want to stick with you through thick and thin?
Xia Tian is qualified to share the profits with Big Nose Dragon, but other actors don’t!
