Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1859 Please forgive me

Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Joey Wong, Zhang Min, the four main actors of "God of Gamblers" gathered on the set of Fu Shan Road.

In addition to them, director Wang Jing and screenwriters Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui also attended the opening ceremony.

"Scriptwriter Wen, I heard that you had a falling out with Mr. Lin recently. I wonder if this is true?"

"It's been rumored that you have been kicked out of New Oriental by Mr. Lin. Can screenwriter Wen tell everyone what's going on?"

Although the launch ceremony of "God of Gamblers" this time, the focus should have been on Chow Yun-fat and other stars.

But the reporter was obviously more interested in Wen Jun. In the questioning session that just started, everyone focused on him.

After being bombarded by the reporters so indiscriminately, Wen Jun looked very unhappy.

"My friends from the press, I don't know how this rumor came out. Everyone knows the relationship between me and Brother Qiu. The drama "God of Gamblers" is produced by New Oriental. The screenwriter of a play?"

Wen Jun hurriedly used his participation in the production of "God of Gamblers" to refute the rumors that he had a falling out with him.

His explanation sounds quite reliable. If Wen Jun is really kicked out of New Oriental, then it is really impossible for him to be the screenwriter of this drama.

"Screenwriter Wen, the outside world has already spread the news, and we have also received a lot of insider information. I'm afraid this is not groundless."

The junior reporters have already been persuaded by Wen Jun, but those old fritters won't just let them go.

After all, they have a lot of inside information, and it's all from people in the industry or even related people, so the credibility is very high.

"Wen's screenwriter was expelled from the screenwriting team of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". It shouldn't be a fake, right?"

Wen Jun didn't expect that they would also find out about this matter, and he didn't know which bastard was so wicked to bring this matter to the media.

"Actually, it was just a misunderstanding, because Ah Jun is going to be the screenwriter of "God of Gamblers", and he still has several movie scripts in his hand, so he can't take care of the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so he voluntarily resigned." work over there."

At this time, Zheng Danrui hurriedly stood up to help Wen Jun smooth things over, otherwise, if the reporter continued to question him like this, not only Wen Jun would be embarrassed, but it would even affect the drama "God of Gamblers".

"A Rui is right. Wen Jun voluntarily resigned from his job in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to help here. Please don't spread random words."

Wang Jing also quickly stepped forward to help him explain, after all, he is the one who is most worried about the impact of "God of Gamblers".

The reporters at the scene obviously didn't believe Wang Jing and Zheng Danrui's explanation, because what they all heard was that Wen Jun was expelled or not resigned, and the meanings of these two words are completely different.

When the reporter did not continue to pursue this topic, Wen Jun was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly there was a commotion behind him.

Everyone took a closer look and found Lin Daoqiu walking out from behind with Fang Jinsheng.

The three of them have never heard the news that Lin Daoqiu will come to the scene today.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu is basically unlikely to attend the opening ceremony of this kind of movie. Even if he came, he would not show up in front of reporters, but why did he suddenly appear today?
When Lin Daoqiu came to power, Wen Jun and others were still in shock, especially Wen Jun, his eyes were wide open and he couldn't speak a word.

"Friends from the press, welcome to the opening ceremony of "God of Gamblers". Just now a reporter asked me whether I kicked Wen Jun out of New Oriental. Do you think it is possible?"

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he put his arm on Wen Jun's shoulder.

Wen Jun's mind was already in a mess, and he could only keep a smirk on his face, because he had no idea what would happen next.

"Everyone must be wondering why I am here today. In fact, I am not only here to help them stand, but also to announce to everyone that "God of Gamblers" will be a highlight of New Oriental Pictures' Spring Festival next year..."

"My expectations for this movie are very high. I think "God of Gamblers" will earn at least 6000 million at the box office. Are you right?"

Lin Daoqiu turned to look at Wang Jing and the others and asked.

"exactly……"

At this time, they absolutely dare not say a word.

"However, it seems meaningless to say that. Since we all have such high expectations for this drama, don't the three of you give the crew some confidence?"

If Wang Jing and the others didn't know why Lin Daoqiu appeared suddenly, then they immediately understood after Lin Daoqiu said this.

"Brother Qiu, please forgive me."

Wen Jun turned around and begged Lin Daoqiu for mercy in a low voice.

If they swear in front of so many people that they will go to Treasure Island if "God of Gamblers" doesn't get 6000 million at the box office, then no one will be saved.

"How about it? How do you plan to give the crew some confidence? Director Wang, you are the director of this movie, so let's talk about it."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wang Jing, and then handed him the microphone.

After receiving the microphone, Wang Jing felt that what Lin Daoqiu handed him was not a microphone, but a bottle of extreme poison.

"If...if..."

Wang Jing began to feel a bit difficult to speak, and he knew there was a problem just by hearing his voice.

But being stared at by Lin Daoqiu like this, if he dares not to say anything, he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

"If the box office of "God of Gamblers" can't reach 6000 million by then, we don't need Mr. Lin to ask, the three of us will leave Xiangjiang Film World and pack up to Baodao together."

When Wang Jing said this, there was an uproar at the scene.

This is a big piece of news, and Wang Jing's swearing in front of so many people is definitely not a joke.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's faces were ashen. They didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to do such a great job.

"Okay... Sure enough, you are ambitious. I just like Director Wang's character. He is courageous and courageous. I like you guys."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and patted Wang Jing who was smiling wryly.

"Reporters should have heard very clearly how much confidence Director Wang, A Jun and A Rui have in this film. I hope you can help them choose and strive to let them reach the goal of 6000 million as soon as possible."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, the reporters and guests at the scene gave out warm applause.

Dare to make such a swear in public, Wang Jing and the others are really brave enough.

It’s okay if it’s 4000 to 6000 million at the box office, but they actually think that “God of Gamblers” can get [-] million at the box office.

But no matter what, since Wang Jing and the others dare to say this in public, the reporters are naturally willing to help them report hard.

So for several days in a row, the reports that Wang Jing and the others swore were published in various newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong in turn, and the three of them were in the limelight for a while.
