003 [Heaven’s Great Responsibility]
Xia Tian waved his hand and said sincerely, "Brother Bing, look at the current situation. You are a knife and a fish. Do I have that courage to play tricks on you?"
"Then what do you mean?" Buck Ya Bing looked at Xia Tian with a bad expression. If this brat couldn't give a satisfactory reply, he would definitely let him go today.
"Brother Bing, have you forgotten what my dad does?" Xia Tian smiled slightly, and ignored Bangya Bing's murderous intent.
When he reminded him, Buck Ya Bing's eyes lit up.
Xia Shuliang was a popular "millionaire director" back then, and he has made more than ten well-known and popular movies. As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mouse’s son can dig holes. If Xia Tian is half as good as his father, it would be more than enough to make C-level movies.
"But, can you really do it? Don't be fooling me, right?" Buck Ya Bing said worriedly again. If Xia Tian didn't even learn anything about his father, then he would not be at ease to hand over the movie to him to take over.
After all, he invested 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in this movie (boasting it became 150,000). Among the cheap C-level movies, this movie is considered a blockbuster.
"Of course I can do it. I have been playing on Shaw Brothers' set since I was two years old. I have been influenced by my father since I was a child, and my father taught me orally. It's not that I would boast about it with you. Even if my father didn't learn 100% of his skills, at least 70% or 80% of his skills." Xia Tian said confidently.
Hearing him bragging so much, Xia Xue and Chen Yixin next to him suddenly looked a little strange on their faces. They knew that although Xia Tian was the son of the great director Xia Shuliang, he did not inherit his father's ability.
Because Xia Tian’s wish was not to be a director since childhood, but to be a hero who was a hero. So he learned fist and foot skills from Shaw Brothers’ famous martial arts commander Tang Jia at a very young age, and did not learn how to direct movies from his father.
Of course, they will not expose the summer diorama. It is better to be fooled by buck teeth.
"But I just say it, of course you don't believe it. We are mules or horses, so we can take it out for a walk. If I can do it, you will give me the movie. If it doesn't work, I will cut it into pieces and let it be handled, and I have no complaints." Xia Tian patted his chest again and said.
Seeing that he was so confident, Buck Ya Bing nodded. Instead of worrying about not being able to find a successor, it would be better to let him give it a try first, just treat it as a living horse.
"Okay, let you try it. But if you really can't do it, don't blame me for being polite." Buck teeth said coldly, and at the same time, he took a fierce look at Xia Xue's still green body, and the threat was obvious.
Although Xia Tian felt very uncomfortable, saving people is the best at this moment, so he could only swallow his anger, "Okay, Brother Bing depends on my ability."
"Ahua, bring him the camera," Buck Ya Bing ordered.
The pale-faced man named Ahua nodded, turned around, and walked over with a portable camera after a moment.
In order to save costs, C-level films are usually only equipped with one camera. The person who just got traumatized by a steel pipe in Xia Tian is the part-time photography director of the crew.
"Give it, then!" Na Ahua shouted, threw the camera hard, and threw it towards Xia Tian.
Xia Tian looked terrified, knowing that he was deliberately trying to give himself a warning.
You should know that a portable camera weighs seven or eight kilograms. If the weight of the film is added, it will weigh at least ten kilograms. Now he is thrown over with such force, with the mass and speed, and the impact force is extremely strong.
Furthermore, the camera is a delicate and easy-to-destruct machine. If one of them is not properly mounted and falls to the ground, everything will be over.
For a moment, not only summer faced a difficult test, but everyone present was shocked by Ah Hua's reckless behavior. Especially Buck Ya Bing jumped up.
Although this portable camera is a second-hand product, it is also worth 90,000 Hong Kong dollars. More importantly, the machine also contains the film taken today. If it is not caught in the summer, the machine will be smashed and the film is exposed, the loss will be huge.
When he thought of this, Buck Ya Bing was anxious and angry, and he gave Ah Hua a fierce look, wishing he could kick him to death. This guy was really not successful, he had more than failure, and his mind was filled with feces.
Ah Hua was glared at by the boss, and knew that he had done recklessly. He felt very regretful. He had known this way, so he would have done such a trick. However, the big mistake had been made, so he had to hope that summer could catch this precious machine.
It was a long time to say that, and just as everyone was worried, the camera had already flown in front of Xia Tian.
He was calm and grabbed the handle of the machine as soon as he reached out his hand, then followed its trajectory to his arms, and lightly dispelled its impact with the help of the muscles in his lower abdomen.
"Be careful, Brother Hua! This machine was sold by Sony the previous year, worth more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. If it breaks, Brother Bing's losses will be huge."
Xia Tian fiddled with the camera first and recognized that it was the model launched by Sony in 1982. Fortunately, he had used it before, so he couldn't help but feel relieved and knocked Ah Hua in pain.
Seeing that he was skillfully manipulating the machine, his confidence in him increased a little more. Hearing the words he hit Ah Hua, he was immediately thorned in his heart.
"Even outsiders know how to protect my interests. If you have been with me for so long, he will know how to cause trouble for me." Thinking of this, Buck Ya Bing gave Ah Hua another fierce look.
Ahua was stared at by the boss for a while, but he didn't understand that the boss was already angry with him. He was so scared that he quickly took two steps back, lowered his head with a drooping eyebrows, and did not dare to go to poverty anymore.
"Okay, since you can fiddle with this machine, let's stop delaying the time and start shooting as soon as possible." Buck Ya Bing urged.
His "Midnight Wolf" will be released in three days. After deciding on the day of post-production, there are only two days left. Now the movie has been filmed less than half, so you have to speed up.
"Okay." Xia Tian nodded, "But let my sister and my friend go back first, just keep me here." He said again.
"Hmm?!" Buck Ya Bing's face darkened, he felt suspicious in his heart, and looked at Xia Tian with a bad look.
"Brother Bing, my sister doesn't know how to make movies, so it's useless to keep her here. Besides, I'm still here. You have so many people watching you, but you're afraid that I'll run away?" Xia Tian looked at Buck Ya Bing without dodging and said sincerely.
Buckya Bing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Boy, don't be fooled with me. You must know that if you run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple, Hong Kong is very small."
"Of course." Xia Tian smiled slightly, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. "Thank you, Brother Bing!" Then he turned around and said to Chen Yixin, "Yixin, you can take Axue to your house to hide for a few days first."
"What about you, brother?" Xia Xue asked hurriedly.
"I will go back to find you after I finish this movie." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Yi Xin, remember to ask me and my master for two days off."
"Brother Tian, do you really want to stay for filming?" Chen Yixin asked in a low voice, "Stop kidding, how do you know how to film?"
"Don't worry, I haven't eaten pork, have I seen pigs run away? I've been on Shaw Brothers' set for so many years, and Xun is understandable every day. You don't have to worry about me anymore. There are still many opportunities to show your skills in the future."
Xia Tian smiled and said that he really doesn't know how to film in this time and space, but he is a top student who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's Directory Department. In terms of professional knowledge, he is no worse than these famous Hong Kong directors now.
Seeing that he was so confident, Chen Yixin couldn't help but be infected, "Okay, then I'll send my little sister home first, and I'll come to help you later."
Xia Tian knew that Chen Yixin was working as an assistant lighting agent on Shaw Brothers' set. Although he has not officially become an apprentice, he actually has the ability to stand alone.
To put it bluntly, the art of light and shadow. The importance of a lighting teacher can naturally be imagined. There is even a respectful reputation as "Lan Master" in the crew, and no matter how big the big one is, he dare not offend them.
If he had the help of his good brother this time, he would be more confident in making this movie.
"Okay." Xia Tian patted Chen Yixin on the shoulder and nodded vigorously.
...
After Chen Yixin left with Xia Xue, Xia Tian began to become familiar with this movie.
A few randomly nailed 16-open white papers are the so-called scripts.
Xia Tian frowned carefully after reading it.
This movie, called "Midnight Wolf", is really simple and outrageous.
It tells the story of a cesium wolf with an extremely strong bathing and a woman who likes to rape her and return home at midnight. But if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts. In the end, he falls into a trap designed by the victim's family and is then cut into meat sauce by angry people.
This story needs to be explained clearly without even ten minutes, so the remaining eighty minutes of the film are filled with sexual X and murder scenes. It is a typical C-level film shooting mode where "there is not enough drama, the meat is used to make up"
Xia Tian rubbed his temples depressedly. He really didn't expect that the first movie he made when he came back from time to time would be such a garbage and disgusting movie. This is very different from his previous idea.
"No matter how I am a time traveler, how could I be so depressed? I haven't seen any benefits at all so far." He grieved himself in his heart.
"Forget it, just treat it as the training given to me by God. If the Tao is the general to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and be empty and useless to do what he does, so he can move his heart and endure his nature and increase his ability." After a moment, he explained himself, "Even if he is making a C-level movie, he is still making a movie. Let's use it to practice his hands first."
