Chapter 6 The Gambler

On the seventh day of the release of "The Gambling Saint", the box office exceeded 10 million. This is a miracle in today's sluggish box office market in Hong Kong. Especially "The Gambling Saint" is still a small production with a budget of only 1.5 million yuan.

Zou Wenhuai is also a little surprised and puzzled now. I wonder if it is the Americans who are really jealous? Or is the blind cat encountering a dead mouse?

Such a low-cost movie actually grabbed tens of millions of box offices in the box office market today, and occupied the top spot in Xiangjiang's box office list in the past week, allowing Zou Wenhuai to smell that the box office of "The Gambler" still has a lot of room for improvement.

So Zou Wenhuai began to advertise for "The Gambling Saint" on Xiangjiang TV and newspapers.

The gimmick of "the first nonsensical movie in Xiangjiang's history" is enough to make countless people in Xiangjiang feel curious about it. It is now summer vacation, so many adults took their children into the cinema and saw the movie.

Because there are some dark scenes in the movie, the movie is restricted from watching under the age of 13. However, children under the age of 13 are not the main box office players themselves, so the box office potential of "The Gambling Saint" has not been affected.

What's more, even if there are really audiences under 13 years old, who would be more serious about checking?

Under such circumstances, the box office of "The Gambling Saint" began to explode.

In the second week of release, "The Gambling Saint" earned 15.6 million box office, with a cumulative box office of over 26 million. Although it dropped in the third week, it also earned 12 million box office, with a cumulative box office of over 38 million. Moreover, the movie still has more than a week to release, and there is no suspense in the end the box office of over 40 million.

At this time, Yin Tianchou became completely popular. Many film companies were already waving checks to find Yin Tianchou to make movies. But Yin Tianchou is currently thinking about the script of "The Gambler" and has no time to take on movies from other companies. Moreover, the old fox Zou Wenhuai has already attacked Yin Tianchou in advance.

With Jiahe, a behemoth in the Xiangjiang film industry, other film companies can only return without success.

However, Yin Tianchou could not sign it. Uncle Da's performance in the movie was favored by many film companies. So many companies have asked him to make movies during this period.

Jiahe already has the absolute protagonist Yin Tianchou, and he doesn't value Uncle Da so much. So in addition to thinking about the script of "The Gambler", Uncle Da has also taken on several male supporting roles. Although he is a male supporting role, his pay is as high as 200,000 yuan. This is really a lot for Uncle Da who has only acted in one movie and is a supporting role.

In addition, some film companies of Dameiyuan and Aunt Cai also went to find them to film. However, Aunt Cai's base is in the mainland. Although Dameiyuan is still in Xiangjiang, Zuo Xiaoyou has signed her agency contract with overseas agencies in Xiangjiang, so those companies want to find Dameiyuan to film. They must first contact the people on Zuo Xiaoyou's side.

Out of her importance to Dameiyuan, Zuo Xiaoyou specially sent a T-X as her agent, and rejected all the films of Level 3 and those obviously bad movies. Only movies with good scripts and good commercial value will be selected and handed over to Dameiyuan for review.

Now Dameiyuan has temporarily moved into a two-story villa in Repulse Bay. This villa is Zuo Xiaoyou's property, but Zuo Xiaoyou said that as long as Dameiyuan helps him film a ten-year drama, this villa will be given to her.

This Repulse Bay villa is worth more than 50 million this year, but ten years later, its value will be at least 200 million. The house price of Dameiyuan is not known in ten years, but only saying that the value of more than 50 million is enough for Dameiyuan to fight for it.

Who made this beautiful girl’s assets still linger in millions of dollars? I don’t have to think about buying such a villa without three or seven years of hard work.

So the Big American dollar accepted this condition very happily and lived in with peace of mind.

The reason why she feels at ease is also related to Zuo Xiaoyou's promise not to let her take pictures that damage her personality. And Zuo Xiaoyou made a clear statement that she would never have unspoken rules!

But Zuo Xiaoyou put a restriction on her - no love is allowed within five years.

Dameiyuan is only 20 years old this October, so it is not unacceptable to not fall in love within five years. What's more, Dameiyuan is an ambitious woman, and she also wants to make a career in the entertainment industry first and then talk about love. So Dameiyuan accepted this condition very happily.

On August 14, "The Gambling Saint" released for a month was officially released, with a cumulative box office of 44.36 million. It is basically confirmed that this year's annual box office champion is "The Gambling Saint".

When the box office of "Gambling Saint" exceeded 40 million, Jiahe Company held a celebration meeting. Then, at the celebration meeting, Yin Tianchou received a big red envelope of 1 million, Uncle Da 500,000, and a big US dollar of 200,000, and Aunt Cai, who came from the mainland, also received 300,000.

But there are no other actors. Who makes them lack the role? They are not signed by Jiahe!

On the second day after the painting under "The Gambling Saint", Jiahe announced that the sequel to "The Gambling Saint" "The Gambling Saint" will start filming this month and will be released in October this year. Unlike the no one who was interested in filming "The Gambling Saint", this time, dozens of people came to the entertainment reporters and asked various questions about the new film.

Unlike the new actors who were filming "The Gambling Saint", this time, "The Gambling Saint" invited the superstar Andy Lau to join. This alone is enough for the entertainment journalists to write ten pages of anger.

In addition to Andy Lau, Yin Tianchou, a newcomer in the film industry, has also been favored by a large number of entertainment journalists. As the originator of the nonsensical performance style in the Xiangjiang film industry, Yin Tianchou is really popular.

This kind of fire came too suddenly, which made Yin Tianchou feel a little at a loss. Fortunately, Zuo Xiaoyou gave him a psychological massage in advance, and finally made him more stable in the over-the-top outstripping from no one's interest to great success.

After the crew was formed, Zuo Xiaoyou led the main creators to conduct a ritual of worshiping the gods, and then "The Gambling Man" officially started filming.

"The Gambler" is also a movie with a simple plot, but it is more complicated than "The Gambler". First, the movie will be filmed in Las Vegas, the United States. Secondly, it will be borrowed to shoot a gambling boat. In addition, some foreigners need to be used as extras in the movie. It took some effort to find foreigners' supporting roles.

Unlike China, it is normal to work overtime in China, especially in Hong Kong, where actors are treated as livestock. But foreigners are different, even if they are just a supporting role. Foreigners only work eight hours a day. And there are weekend weekends.

So we often hear that it takes less than a month to shoot a movie in Xiangjiang, but it takes less than three months to shoot a movie abroad. This is the biggest difference between China and abroad.

Foreigners do have ‘human rights’, but their efficiency is very low. China pays more attention to collectiveness and hard work, so foreigners have always said that China has no ‘human rights’, but China, which does not have ‘human rights’, has won the higher efficiency.

Therefore, in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China has completed the path taken by the Western powers in the past two hundred years.

You are already behind. You are born to be beaten. If you don’t work hard, you still pay attention to human rights. Isn’t that a person committing suicide?

So it is really difficult for the CCP to be old. With internal and external troubles and overwhelming abuse and accusations, they quietly brought China to the second place in the world. And judging from the current trend, in another twenty or thirty years, the world's number one will be obtained.

With such a government, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Human rights can always be fought for without external pressure. If you are at risk of destruction of the country and the race at any time outside, what kind of human rights should you talk about? Then you can see what happens in Syria and Iraq!

Even in history there was a similar dynasty - the Song Dynasty.

If you are not guilty for your words, you will be very strong. It is amazing! Since you are so amazing, please die!

Then the Song Dynasty died.

It's that simple.

After a month of filming, "Gambling Man" was successfully completed. During this process, Zuo Xiaoyou personally witnessed Andy Lau's spirit of hard work. As a superstar, he ate and slept with ordinary actors, and did not have the style of a superstar, and Andy Lau won unanimous respect from the crew.

Andy Lau also admires Zuo Xiaoyou, the director and producer of the two films. Nothing else, Zuo Xiaoyou is too young, only twenty-five years old.

A twenty-five-year-old screenwriter, director and producer, sold more than 40 million in the box office of the first movie, which has never been seen in the entire history of Xiangjiang. Moreover, in the past month of getting along, Andy Lau was also moved and conquered by Zuo Xiaoyou's serious work attitude, his uniqueness in every move and conversation.

Before the movie was finished, Andy Lau took the initiative to exchange contact information with Zuo Xiaoyou and became a friend with a good relationship. Andy Lau believed that Zuo Xiaoyou's future was limitless and he was willing to make friends with such a young and promising person.

After the completion of "The Gambler" and after half a month of post-production, Zuo Xiaoyou found that his level of filming has improved significantly. At least on the basis of the commercial nature of the movie itself, it has improved its artistic nature, allowing the audience to feel a unique artistic conception when watching this movie.

Unlike last time, Zou Wenhuai and Zuo Xiaoyou watched the finished film of "The Gambler" together. After watching it, I was very satisfied: "Xiaoyou, you are indeed a genius, no wonder American companies will make you a film director."

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Actually, "The Gambling Man" and "The Gambling Man" sell nonsensical commerciality. If you take these two points out, these two movies are just ordinary gambling movies, and they are still far from the blockbusters I expected."

"Oh?" Zou Wenhuai took out a cigar and handed it to Zuo Xiaoyou. Zuo Xiaoyou waved his hand: "Thank you, I won't smoke."

"It's good not to smoke!" Zou Wenhuai smiled, put away the cigar, and said, "What you are talking about is the Hollywood level?"

"It's better." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "In the next ten years, my goal is to pursue 3D movies."

(I took a day off and my chest was still stuffy. Panda really needed a good rest, but there was a last day for double monthly tickets, so I'll stick to it! Please recommend votes.)
