Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1989
"I haven't had time to watch the movie "God of Gamblers", but I've heard from people who have seen it that it's really good."

Since everyone is engaged in the film industry, it is inevitable that they will talk about movies when chatting.

It happened that last night was the premiere of "God of Gamblers", and Wang Jing and the others were the main creative team of "God of Gamblers", so Tsui Hark naturally chatted about "God of Gamblers".

Hearing what Tsui Hark said, Wang Jing and the others didn't feel any joy, because they all thought that Tsui Hark was just talking politely.

"Although we don't know how much the final box office will be, we really put our heart into making this film. We hope that the audience can see our hard work from the film."

When Wen Jun said these words, the corners of his eyes drifted to Lin Daoqiu from time to time. It seemed that he said these words deliberately in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"It's not enough to work hard to make a movie. The right time, the right place and the right people and the three are indispensable. Even if you do everything well, you still need a little luck in the end. What do you three think of your luck?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, the three of them looked at each other.

However, the opponents they saw from their eyes obviously did not have any luck, and if they were lucky, they would not be what they are now.

"It seems that you also know that your luck is not very good. Since this is the case, if you have time, go to the temple to worship, maybe you can get rid of your bad luck..."

"I heard that there is a temple named Longshan Temple that is very spiritual. You can pay more visits if you have time in the future."

They are all born and raised in Xiangjiang, but they have never heard of a temple called Longshan Temple in Xiangjiang.

The three of them glanced at each other, but they didn't know where Longshan Temple was, so Wen Jun asked boldly.

"Brother Qiu, where is the Longshan Temple you mentioned? I haven't heard of such a temple in Xiangjiang for so many years?"

Wen Jun looked at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously, because he had never heard of this temple.

If he is really very spiritual, Wen Jun really wants to go to pay his respects, to see if he can really turn the danger into a blessing.

Shi Nansheng next to him was already holding back his laughter, because she happened to know where Longshan Temple was.

"Longshan Temple is not in Xiangjiang, it is a famous temple on Baodao."

After hearing Lin Daoqiu's answer, Wen Jun's face suddenly collapsed.

This doesn't even count as a hint, it's like telling them clearly that the matter of sending them to Treasure Island is almost a certainty.

"Director Xu thinks how likely is it that "God of Gamblers" can win 6000 million box office?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned his head to look at Tsui Hark and asked.

In fact, this question is easy for Tsui Hark to answer, because the answer is absolutely impossible.

The box office of 6000 million is not so easy to win. Even this big production of "Legend of Wesley" dare not say that it will definitely get the box office of 6000 million in the end.

But with Wang Jing and the others around, it is impossible for Tsui Hark to say in front of them that the box office of "God of Gamblers" will not be good.

"The possibility is not impossible, but the difficulty may be a bit high."

Tsui Hark was already being very polite when he said this, he almost said it was impossible.

Wang Jing and the others didn't expect Tsui Hark to say anything nice, because they themselves knew that it was wishful thinking for "God of Gamblers" to break 6000 million at the box office.

"In that case, do you think "God of Gamblers" might still create miracles?"

Tsui Hark nodded, although he didn't think so in his heart.

"what do y'all think?"

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

If they had confidence, the three of them would not be like this now.

"Even Tsui Hark has confidence in this drama, how can you give up, anyway, it's only two weeks, and you know how the final result will be after this year, so you might as well spend the New Year with peace of mind and spend more time with With the family."

Lin Daoqiu's words didn't sound wrong, but there was a strong hint in Wang Jing's ears.

Lin Daoqiu asked them to spend more time with their families now, doesn't it mean that they may have little time to be with their families in the future.

Now that this is all said, they didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to show kindness.

"Director Xu has three films that will be released one after another in the next year. It seems that your performance this year should be good."

"Swordsman", "The True Colors of a Hero", and "A Chinese Ghost Story", Tsui Hark will confirm that three films will be released one after another this year.

It can be said that this year can be regarded as a very productive year for Tsui Hark, and he himself feels so.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Lin's strong support. Without your support, these three plays would not exist."

Tsui Hark knew very well that the reason why he was able to open three plays at the same time was entirely because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship, and Lin Daoqiu wrote the script of "The True Colors of a Hero".

But these three movies can only be said to be medium productions, and there is still a big gap between big productions and blockbusters.

Today, Tsui Hark specially brought Shi Nansheng to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Daoqiu, hoping that after the release of the three films this year, he can get a chance to make a big production or even a blockbuster movie from Lin Daoqiu.

Tsui Hark went to seek refuge with Bao Shaogang for the filming of "New Shushan Swordsman". In the end, he was defeated by Lin Daoqiu and returned to New Oriental in despair.

In the past few years, Tsui Hark has been conscientiously filming and has not put forward any unreasonable ideas, but this does not mean that his eager heart has stabilized.

During the meal, Shi Nansheng interviewed Lin Daoqiu's opinion from the side.

"Mr. Lin, Xiangjiang hasn't released any blockbuster movies for a long time, and with the development of Brother Long in Hollywood, the number of blockbuster movies in Xiangjiang has become less and less. I think some changes must be made at this time. What do you think?"

If you want to promote a star, you have to start a show, and it's a big show. Although Shi Nansheng didn't say it clearly, Lin Daoqiu already heard it very clearly.

"When the time comes, there will naturally be, don't worry."

Lin Daoqiu's words were not clear, but the corners of Tsui Hark's mouth turned up slightly after listening.

He guessed that Lin Daoqiu's timing should be to wait for the final results of the three films to be released.

If the result is good, he will definitely be able to get a script from Lin Daoqiu, as well as a huge production fee.

Thinking of this, Tsui Hark couldn't wait to release those three films as soon as possible, and then get this opportunity to make a big movie.

Although Shi Nansheng's topic had nothing to do with Wang Jing and the others, they were not fools, and they could all hear Lin Daoqiu's overtones.

Seeing Tsui Hark's excited expression, Wang Jing and the others were both envious and helpless. After all, they couldn't protect themselves now, so how could they fight for the chance to make a blockbuster movie?
