Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 514
"This debate is really getting more and more sophisticated." Fang Yihua closed the newspaper casually, thought for a moment, and felt that although such topics were popular, they were really not suitable for TV stations to follow suit and hype, so she shook her head and gave up.

Inadvertently looking out of the car, the huge poster of the movie "God of Gamblers" came into view, Fang Yihua couldn't help but smiled knowingly, because she knew that a new round of competition for Xiangjiang theaters was about to begin, those former rivals If you have to suffer, and you who have withdrawn from the matter, you can laugh and watch the situation rise.

Savoring the demeanor of the "God of Gamblers" in the poster, Fang Yihua had to secretly admit that DreamWorks is really good at tapping the potential of artists, and Zhou Runfa was really right to turn around.

DreamWorks took great pains in the operation of the movie "God of Gamblers", and specially produced a 30-second clip, which was advertised on TVB and Media Asia TV, and director Wang Jing led the crew to make frequent appearances and accept interviews from various media.

These processes have been followed along the way, which shows from another perspective that the professionalism of DreamWorks is approaching Hollywood.

Fang Yihua still has a fresh memory of that movie's trailer. Based on her understanding of Hong Kong people's gambling habits, Golden Harvest's "Project A", which will be released at the same time, will definitely fall behind at the box office.

After arriving at the office, before Fang Yihua could sit still, she heard a report that made her frown, "What, "Yang Guo and the Little Dragon Girl" is offline after only three days?"

"Dreamworks Theaters felt that the box office was not satisfactory, so they shot it down." The subordinate explained cautiously.

Fang Yihua opened the file, and seeing the box office figure on it was only about one hundred thousand, his face couldn't help feeling hot. After all, he also had the title of a producer, so he was too embarrassing.

"It's such a loss, I can't even earn back the labor costs." Fang Yihua muttered to himself, feeling a little unbelievable at the same time.

Although this "Yang Guo and the Little Dragon Girl" did not have as much publicity as DreamWorks' "God of Gamblers", the high ratings of the TV series "The Legend of Condor Heroes" exceeded [-]%, which is already the best gimmick, plus Leslie Cheung Weng Jingjing and Weng Jingjing are two rising idol stars as the leading actors and actresses. The movie shouldn't end up in such a miserable situation.

You know, in the coming 1983, TVB's most successful TV dramas were "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which formed a new round of Jin Yong's works, and Shaw Brothers movies also planned to Like DreamWorks, they took advantage of the general trend to fight a set of combo punches, but they failed.

Fang Yihua was annoyed when Wang Tianlin, who was in charge of producing the TV series "Decisive Battle of Xuanwumen" called recently, and said angrily that the filming of the most important big scene, the fight scene, might have to be postponed, because many martial artists gathered together yesterday to cooperate with DreamWorks The colleagues fought fiercely and all lost.

"This group of guys who are not successful enough and have more than ruined things." Fang Yihua patted the table directly. The TV series "Battle of Xuanwumen" brought together Huang Rihua, Weng Meiling, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye, Jing Daiyin and other TVB popular young stars. It is very important, and I did not expect that the shooting progress was delayed so needlessly.

The martial arts profession is all about forming cliques. If you don't follow the rules, you can directly trace it to the master.

Fang Yihua suppressed his anger, found Liu Jialiang, and asked him if he knew why his disciples and grandchildren were going crazy?
"I asked the reason. The incident was provoked by Dreamworks, and the other party should have been prepared. We have suffered a big loss here. Depending on the severity of the injury, we can't start working within a month."

Liu Jialiang replied depressedly, while secretly heartbroken. He, the patriarch, went to visit those wounded people who were crying and scrambling for the ground. How dare they go empty-handed. Up to now, they have spent tens of thousands, which is simply inexplicable. Broke money.

"Don't think that when Xu Ke borrowed the Shaw Brothers studio to shoot "Once Upon a Time", I didn't know about all the troubles going on down there." Fang Yihua sneered, "Since you don't understand the rules so well, that's good, the company's current performance is not as bad as usual. , the business is in trouble, so let’s just break up.”

Once a woman gets angry, she can't reason at all. Besides, Liu Jialiang has already experienced Fang Yihua's strict style in Shaw Brothers films for more than ten years.

After walking out of TVB, Liu Jialiang asked the apprentice Hui Yinghong who came forward to welcome him, "Have you visited other senior brothers?"

Hui Yinghong nodded, "Everyone is worrying. They can't save money on weekdays, but now they are injured and can't work. I really don't know how to survive."

"Tell them not to panic, I'm here." Liu Jialiang said bravely.

At this juncture, even if he is trying to sell the pot, he has to take the lead. Otherwise, people's hearts will be scattered, and the prestige accumulated over more than ten years will be blown away by the wind.

……

After Fang Yihua's anger dissipated, she thought about it over and over again, and realized that she really couldn't let her own temper drive everyone away. After all, when filming a martial arts TV series, a martial artist is inseparable.

Moreover, according to Liu Jialiang, maybe Dreamworks' martial artist is deliberately retaliating, and it's not all his own fault.

Thinking of this, Fang Yihua picked up the phone to contact Hu Yinmeng, intending to find out what the other party said, and it would be better to ask for some compensation.As a result, the other party was not in the office at this time.It is said that they did not come to work at all today.

"This little girl is probably in love with an adulterous lover." Fang Yihua speculated maliciously.

……

"How long do you plan to sleep?" Hu Yinmeng reached out and pushed Tang Huan beside him.

"Sleep for another 24 hours." Tang Huan replied vaguely, "Don't tell me, these days are good days."

"These days are really good days, I counted them out on purpose." Hu Yinmeng chuckled, "Are you alright?"

"Is it okay, you will know by watching the action." Tang Huan stretched out his hand to embrace the beauty. "Old Nine and Old Ten are not your turn anymore, you really have to hurry up."

……

"Will you attend the premiere of "God of Gamblers" tonight?" Hu Yinmeng, who was doing makeup in front of the mirror, asked crisply.

"It's fine if you come forward." Tang Huan yawned, "I'm going to Yangcheng by car in the evening, and the Huo family asked me to comment on the big hotel they invested in. It is said that it is the first five-star hotel in the mainland. It's about the same after thinking about it. , the few hotels I invested in will be able to open next year, so it will be soon."

"It's eating, drinking and having fun again." Hu Yinmeng snorted, "I'll let Xie Ning go with you, so that she can watch you."

"You big manager, what's the arrangement?" Tang Huan lazily pulled the quilt over his head.

……

Xinguang Cinema, at the premiere of the movie "God of Gamblers", the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Director Wang Jing's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, because there were various indications that a blockbuster movie was about to be produced from his hands.

"I heard that in order to achieve the best effect, this movie was shot on location in the United States and Japan. The filming process must be very hard, right?" During the interactive session, reporters asked Wang Jing questions one after another.

"Although it was a little hard work, it was worth it, and everyone worked hard, and the shooting process went very smoothly, so now that I think about it, I don't think it was hard work." Wang Jing smiled and gestured to Zhou Runfa, who was wearing a suit, " And being able to stay with the God of Gamblers can bring some good luck, right?"

"Ah Fa, before the movie was released, someone called you and the newcomer Zhou Xingchi together as Biweekly. Are you used to this name?" The reporters began to besiege Zhou Runfa again.

"I feel pretty good." Zhou Runfa smiled and glanced at Zhou Xingchi, "Although Xingzi is playing such an important role for the first time, he is very talented and hardworking enough to make this movie more joyful."

……

After a series of entertainment links were completed, the movie "God of Gamblers" was officially released. The first scene was the world-famous casino city of Las Vegas. A series of resplendent and luxurious hotels entered everyone's field of vision, and the audience's eyes were immediately drawn to it. Enter the crowded casino.

Of course, these indoor sets are additional constructions, not real Las Vegas casinos.

After the close-up of the ring-wearing hand on the gaming table, the camera shifts to an exaggeratedly advanced computer monitoring room.

"This guy keeps winning money."

"Push the surveillance angle toward the ring on that hand."
Following the owner of this hand, he turned the ring, and the manager said in a deep voice, "It's him."

Immediately, the manager tapped the computer keyboard, and a picture and text file about the man with the ring appeared on the screen.

"Why is this photo just a back view?"

"He never takes pictures." The manager quickly walked out of the monitoring room, came to the casino, and found the gambler who had been winning money all the time.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Jin, I am the manager here, and I welcome you to this casino. Our director has just made a decision to change your bet from $5 to $1."

"Cash." Gao Jin nodded slightly, gave the order, stood up and left gracefully.

"Who is this person?" asked the dealer, who was sweating profusely.

"God of Gamblers!" The manager replied slowly, looking in the direction Gao Jin was leaving.Immediately, the title "God of Gamblers" jumped out.

……

In another movie theater, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuen Biao, the three brothers who are currently working closely together, are mingling with the general audience in disguise, watching "God of Gamblers" who is competing with his side's upcoming "Project A". ".

Looking at the title of the film, Yuan Biao couldn't help but admire, "It's amazing!"

After Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao looked at each other, they didn't speak, and their eyes returned to the big screen.

Da da... Da da da... With the unforgettable music, God of Gamblers Gao Jin appeared in Tokyo, Japan.

"If it's a tie, I'll be considered a loser." Gao Jin said domineeringly before the competition of gambling skills.

When Gao Jin laughed and said in the movie, "I'm sorry, I was a little stronger just now", and then won by smashing a dice with a final score of [-] points, Cheng Long suddenly stood up and walked out of the theater.

"What's the matter, the location of the story has just been changed to Xiangjiang, the movie has just started." Yuen Biao muttered puzzledly.

"You can enjoy it yourself. I'll go see what's wrong with Aaron." Hong Jinbao told Yuan Biao, then got up and chased him out.

"So impatient." Seeing Cheng Long standing beside the car smoking, Hong Jinbao ordered one too.

"After so many years of doing this, my eyesight has already been tempered. The first few minutes are enough to show that this "God of Gamblers" will produce a classic screen image." Cheng Long raised his head and blew out a smoke ring, "What the hell? In our industry, if we want to stand out, we must be different and the best in the world. Zhou Runfa has definitely hit the big luck this time and achieved this."

"Are you worried about our "Plan A"?" Hong Jinbao smiled, "Actually, it is no longer the two films "God of Gamblers" and "Project A" that are fighting each other, but DreamWorks Cinemas is trying to suppress Golden Harvest The theater chain and the Golden Princess theater chain. We can’t afford this kind of capital game, so there’s no need to think too much about it. If you think you’ve done your best, that’s fine.”

"You have worked with Chen Xunqi from Yongjia Films a lot, maybe you heard the inside information about DreamWorks from him?" Cheng Long stomped out his cigarette butt and asked curiously.

"There are indeed some rumors. It is said that DreamWorks Cinemas wants to establish a larger theater alliance in Xiangjiang, and Shaw Cinemas is the first to join. However, Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas have been operating for so many years. If you are willing to be inferior to others, you will inevitably have to fight first." Hong Jinbao revealed the information he had.

"Mr. Tang has such strong financial resources, maybe he can really do this." Cheng Long muttered to himself.

"Regardless of whether this goal can be achieved, one thing is for sure, that is, the quality of movies is becoming more and more important, otherwise no theaters will pay attention." Hong Jinbao snapped his fingers, "In this way, it is also our opportunity Now, making movies is our brother's forte."

"That's true." Cheng Long nodded in agreement.

"It's also an opportunity to set up our own film production company." Hung Jin Po said meaningfully.

……

After the release of "God of Gamblers", the box office has grown extremely rapidly, much like last year's "Fang Shiyu", adding another movie with a box office of over 3000 million this year.

The most exaggerated thing is that God of Gamblers ring, God of Gamblers eyes, God of Gamblers windbreaker, God of Gamblers poker...even the big brother used by God of Gamblers, the chocolates and pastries that he has eaten, brought a lot of fun to the Xiangjiang Market when Christmas is approaching. A very new energy.

Golden Harvest released "Project A" as scheduled. Although Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao co-starred in the performance, it still lost to Zhou Runfa's "God of Gamblers".

"This is putting pressure on our theater chain." He Guanchang said with a frown.

"These blockbuster movies from DreamWorks are nothing special, they are nothing more than novelty." Zou Wenhuai snorted, "We have made some progress in the European market, and I plan to increase the workload for Aaron. Make a few films with new elements of European style."

"Then we must consider Aaron's willingness to set up his own film production company." He Guanchang muttered the suggestion, "Actually, this is fine. For his own benefit, Aaron will be more diligent."

"It's all Hong Jinbao, a restless guy, who took the lead!" After getting annoyed, Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to agree to He Guanchang's request.
