Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2007 Catch the Sequel

"I'm afraid we won't be able to make a sequel to God of Gamblers."

"why?"

Wang Jing and Wen Jun looked at Zheng Danrui suspiciously, they didn't understand why Zheng Danrui said that.

"I remember Brother Qiu released two plays before, one "God of Gamblers" and one "The God of Gamblers."

Hearing what Zheng Danrui said, Wang Jing slapped his head, and he nodded immediately.

He accidentally forgot the play "The Saint of Gamblers".

"Ari is right. Mr. Lin gave me two plays before, one "God of Gamblers" and one "The God of Gamblers". I was so happy but forgot about the drama "The God of Gamblers."

It can't be blamed on Wang Jing for forgetting "The God of Gamblers". After all, "God of Gamblers" has achieved such a good score that it should have considered making a sequel now.

As for the movie "The God of Gamblers", Wang Jing remembered that Lin Daoqiu appointed Zhou Xingchi to play the leading role, which made him doubt whether the box office of "The God of Gamblers" would be as good as that of "God of Gamblers".

You must know that now Gao Jin has become the idol of the entire Xiangjiang citizens, and everyone regards him as a real gambler.

As for whether "The God of Gamblers" can continue the success of "God of Gamblers", at least in Wang Jing's view, this is almost impossible.

"And the script of "God of Gamblers" was written by Brother Qiu. If we want to make a sequel, we must go to Brother Qiu."

Wang Jing and Wen Jun were happy, but they forgot that the script of "God of Gamblers" was written by Lin Daoqiu. Without his consent, how could they get his script.

"According to what you said, wouldn't our happiness be in vain?"

Wang Jing's face collapsed all of a sudden.

After finally escaping the catastrophe, they thought they would continue to pursue the victory, but now they faced a huge difficulty.

"To be honest, I'm more inclined to make a sequel to "God of Gamblers" than "God of Gamblers."

At this time, Wang Jing suddenly said something that both Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui felt inexplicable.

Looking at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui who looked at him in bewilderment, Wang Jing quickly explained to them.

"I plan to hand over "The God of Gamblers" in exchange for a sequel to "The God of Gamblers". What do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu gave Wang Jing two scripts before, one "God of Gamblers" and one "God of Gamblers".

But now the momentum of "God of Gamblers" is so good, how could Wang Jing have the heart to make "God of Gamblers", he still wants to make a 6000 million masterpiece.

As for "Sacred Gambler", whoever wants to shoot can do it. Anyway, Wang Jing is not optimistic that Stephen Chow can achieve the same success as Chow Yun-fat, so he would rather continue to cooperate with Brother Fat to be safer.

Wang Jing's idea was quickly agreed by Wen Jun.

"Your idea is correct. If you go to make "The God of Gamblers" next, the sequel of "God of Gamblers" may not be released until next year's Spring Festival, but by then, those who follow the trend may have already ruined the movie. .”

Xiangjiang's film circle has a fine tradition, as long as there is a big hit, there will be a lot of follow-up movies.

Even if Lin Daoqiu didn't like such things, he couldn't stop them completely.

"Why don't the three of us talk to Mr. Lin together? I believe he won't reject us, right?"

Wang Jing didn't dare to talk to Lin Daoqiu alone, it would be better if there were three of them.

Even if Lin Daoqiu gets angry, the three of them will bear it together, which is better than bearing the anger alone.

The thought of going to Lin Daoqiu to mention such a matter that might be scolded made Wen Jun's heart pounding all the time.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. If "God of Gamblers" is so successful, Mr. Lin will still kill us, and I believe that as long as our reasons are sufficient, he will definitely not refuse our request."

Wang Jing knew Lin Daoqiu a little bit. He felt that Lin Daoqiu was very reasonable, and he would never force others to do things they didn't like.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui looked at each other, and they also felt that Wang Jing's words seemed reasonable.

…………

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Jun first called Fang Jinsheng and learned that Lin Daoqiu would go to New Oriental to work in the morning.

So he, Wang Jing and Zheng Danrui came to Lin Daoqiu's office early and waited for his arrival.

"Look at me later, if brother Qiu really gets angry later, then we have to stop this topic immediately."

Wen Jun felt that Lin Daoqiu's anger towards him had not been completely dispelled, so he didn't dare to do too risky things, especially the kind of request that would make Lin Daoqiu furious.

"Don't worry, we are not children, we will play by ear later."

The three of them had already discussed the countermeasures before they came, and thought of a lot of rhetoric to deal with various situations that would arise.

When it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Daoqiu took Fang Jinsheng out of the elevator.

On the way to the office, he suddenly found that Wang Jing and the three of them were already sitting outside waiting for him.

"So early?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at the three of them in surprise. He didn't expect these three guys to come to him so early.

He had already heard from Fang Jinsheng that the three of them, Wang Jing and the others, had been throwing various banquets since the fifth day of the fifth day because of their success in "God of Gamblers", but they didn't expect to appear here today.

"Good morning Brother Qiu (Mr. Lin)..."

The three of them stood up from the sofa as soon as they saw Lin Daoqiu approaching.

"It seems that you came to me so early for something, come in and talk about it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't believe that the three of them came to him so early just to chat, so he took the three of them directly into his office.

After letting the three people sit down, Lin Daoqiu looked at them with a smile and asked.

"Don't the three big directors know what they want to see me for today?"

The score of "God of Gamblers" must break 6000 million. Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that they would be able to complete the score he said casually at the beginning.

Although Lin Daoqiu contributed a lot here, the final result was far beyond his expectations.

"Brother Qiu, it's actually like this. You can see that "God of Gamblers" has achieved such a good result. The whole crew is very encouraged. They feel that everyone is very proud of being able to make such a movie."

Wen Jun didn't dare to speak out the request directly, so he could only turn the corner and slowly lead the topic to the sequel.

But Lin Daoqiu obviously didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he turned to Zheng Danrui and asked.

"What did you come to see me for today?"

Zheng Danrui was taken aback by Lin Daoqiu looking at him like this. He wanted to lower his head at first, but Wang Jing and Wen Jun beside him quickly winked at him.

"Qiu...Brother Qiu, it's actually like this. We feel that "God of Gamblers" has such a good performance and we should strike a sequel while the iron is hot..."

Zheng Danrui said these words carefully.

"That's a good idea, so you plan to start filming right after the Chinese New Year?"

Wang Jing and the others didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to agree to their request for a sequel so easily, and the ones they had prepared before would not be used at all.

But before Wang Jing and the others were happy for a few seconds, Lin Daoqiu suddenly said something that made them feel frustrated.
