Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1867 We want to change gears
"What? Brother Qiu added another "Happy Events in the Family" to be released during the Spring Festival?"

Wang Jing and others, who were filming "God of Gamblers", suddenly received a news that was definitely bad news for them.

Lin Daoqiu wants to add a comedy movie during the Spring Festival, which is simply worse for them.

"When you finish listening to the actors of this play, I'm afraid you will be even more desperate."

Cheng Xiaodong was sent to act as the action director of "God of Gamblers". He knew very well how important this drama was to Wang Jing and the others.

"The leading actors are Xu Guanwen and Leslie Cheung, and the script of this drama was written by Mr. Lin."

Although there are three leading actors in "A Happy Event", in fact, Hui Guanwen and Leslie Cheung are the real big stars in the Xiangjiang film industry at this time. Few people know him for a small role like Zhou Xingchi.

Hearing that it was the combination of Xu Guanwen and Leslie Cheung, and the script was written by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing and the others didn't know what to say.

"It's better not to shoot, let's pack it up and go to Baodao. Brother Qiu is really bullying people this time. Let alone 6000 million box office, I will burn up if I can get 2000 million box office by then. Fragrant."

Originally, Wang Jing and others thought that "God of Gamblers" still had the hope of getting a box office of 6000 million in the end, although it seemed that the hope was a bit slim.

But now they have completely given up this hope, because the box office of "God of Gamblers" will not be as good as 6000 million when next year's Spring Festival is surrounded by strong enemies.

"Don't talk about being discouraged, I think it's better not to release this drama on the Spring Festival, and just release it on New Year's Day. In that case, there may be a glimmer of life for us."

Wang Jing figured it out, instead of fighting to the death with those powerful enemies during the Spring Festival, it is better to find another way to change to a schedule that no one is competing for.

In this case, perhaps the box office of "God of Gamblers" may still create miracles.

If it was still the same as before and planned to put "God of Gamblers" on the Spring Festival file, then they could be declared dead without even looking at the results.

"Let's go, let's find Brother Qiu to change gears."

The more Wen Jun talked, the more angry he became. He felt that Lin Daoqiu's punishment this time was too severe.

It's not that he doesn't want to accept such a punishment, but Lin Daoqiu had already forced them to swear in front of the media that if they didn't reach the box office of 6000 million, they would pack it up and go to Baodao.

For them, this has pushed them to a dead end.

But it's good now, Lin Daoqiu directly plans to cut off all the roads so that they have nowhere to go, which is simply too bullying.

If he really wanted to drive himself to Treasure Island, Wen Jun felt that Lin Daoqiu didn't need to do so much, as long as he sent a word, he would pack up and leave immediately, so as not to be played by him like this.

"Hey, now it seems that the only way to go is to change gears."

Zheng Danrui also felt that what Wen Jun said was right, if they insisted on letting "God of Gamblers" be released during the Spring Festival, then they would definitely have no chance of winning.

Lin Daoqiu seemed a little surprised to learn that Wang Jing, Wen Jun, and Zheng Danrui made a sudden visit.

He felt that the three of them should be rushing to work and filming on the set at this time. How could they have time to come to him?

After asking Fang Jinsheng to invite them in, Lin Daoqiu found that the expressions on Wang Jing and Wen Jun's faces didn't seem very good, they looked unhappy.

"Brother Qiu, we need to change gears."

As soon as Wen Jun walked in, he directly told Lin Daoqiu that he would change gears.

After Lin Daoqiu heard what Wen Jun said, he immediately understood.

It should be that Wen Jun and the others heard the news that they were going to start filming "Happy Family", and that they were going to put the film in the Spring Festival file.

"sit down."

Lin Daoqiu didn't respond, he just asked them to sit down.

Although they were aggressive when they came, after seeing Lin Daoqiu, the anger of Wang Jing and Wen Jun suddenly weakened a lot.

It doesn't matter how they lose their temper if they are not in front of Lin Daoqiu, but in front of Lin Daoqiu, they dare not take any drastic actions, because it is not a joke.

"The reason you want to change the schedule is that you are worried that "Happy Family" will have an impact on "God of Gamblers", right?"

Lin Daoqiu expressed their worries. If they were not worried about the impact of "Happy Family", Wang Jing and the others would not rush to find Lin Daoqiu to change schedules.

"Brother Qiu, we are already very honest. With a box office of 6000 million and a budget of 1000 million, this is something that is almost impossible to do. Now...you are making it difficult for us. What should we do?"

The more Wen Jun talked, the more unhappy he became, but he still suppressed his anger. Of course, he would not dare to get angry in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"This year's Spring Festival includes "Legend of Wesley", "A Happy Family", "God of Gamblers", Tsui Hark's "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The True Colors of a Hero", and "Swordsman", and one of these three will definitely be released. During the Spring Festival..."

"This is not counting other movies that may be released. "God of Gamblers" will not only get 6000 million, but I think it will be very impressive if it can get 3000 million."

Although New Oriental Cinemas has 78 theaters, if there are so many movies, "God of Gamblers" may not be distributed to a few theaters.

Even with the most optimistic estimate, Lin Daoqiu allowed them to release for three weeks, but the number of theaters is insufficient and they have to compete with other strong films, Wang Jing is very pessimistic about the box office of "God of Gamblers".

"Are you so unconfident in the movie "God of Gamblers"?"

Lin Daoqiu can understand Wang Jing's worries. After all, they are not people who have traveled from later generations, so they can only make their own judgments based on the current situation.

With such strong enemies around, even during the Spring Festival, few people would believe that "God of Gamblers" can get a box office score of 6000 million.

"When are you going to change?"

Lin Daoqiu wanted to hear when they planned to move "God of Gamblers" to release.

"We want to move up the file and move "God of Gamblers" to Christmas or New Year's Day."

The period from Christmas to New Year's Day is Xiangjiang's second-best period after the Spring Festival. Wang Jing and the others want to move "God of Gamblers" to this time to avoid those strong films.

It can be said that this is the result of Wang Jing's careful consideration. "God of Gamblers" is a dead end when it is released during the Spring Festival, but if it is moved to the period between Christmas and New Year's Day, there may still be a little hope that it can reach the box office of 6000 million. .

"Of course it's okay for you to change gears, but I have a piece of advice for you here."

Lin Daoqiu didn't object to them moving the schedule, but he had one last thing he wanted to tell Wang Jing and them.

Wang Jing and the others immediately pricked up their ears to hear what Lin Daoqiu had to say to them.

"If you raise the file, ten to ten will not reach 6000 million, but if you stay in the Spring Festival file, you can increase the chance by [-] to [-]%. I'm done talking, you can choose for yourself."
