Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2127 Cancellation of Propaganda
If Lin Daoqiu's brilliant record is broken in their hands, then Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi will become the big sinners in the Xiangjiang film industry.

After all, even the script written by Lin Daoqiu couldn't make them popular. It's better for such people to leave the Xiangjiang film circle sooner or later.

And when such a thing really happened, who would dare to invite them to film in the future?
Fortunately, the filming of "The Saint of Gamblers" has already been finished, and no matter how worried Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi are now, it will not affect this film.

If the words just now were spoken before they finished filming, I'm afraid Zhou Xingchi would bear a heavy burden of thought.

"Manager Li asked me to talk about publicity today, why don't we go there together."

Liu Zhenwei was going to talk to Li Maowen about the promotion of "The Saint of Gamblers" today, he thought this might be a good opportunity, maybe he could meet Lin Daoqiu with Zhou Xingchi.

"What's the use of the past now that the filming is over?"

Zhou Xingchi shook his head. He felt that even if he wanted to change the film after the filming had already been finished, it would be too late. If this is the case, it would be useless to go to Lin Daoqiu.

It's already like this, it's better to just resign to fate. If "The Gambler" really hits the street, Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to ask him to pack his bags and go to Treasure Island.

"Mr. Lin hasn't watched "The Saint of Gamblers", so we can ask Mr. Lin to watch it first. If the problem is really too big, we can reshoot it. If there is no problem, you don't have to be so nervous."

Liu Zhenwei's idea is very simple, their eyes are not counted, but Lin Daoqiu's eyes are not the same.

As long as he is allowed to watch it once, I believe Lin Daoqiu will be able to see whether the show will be a hit in the end.

I have to say that Liu Zhenwei's idea is really good, and Wu Mengda was the first to stand up and express his approval.

"I agree with Director Liu's idea, it's better to think of a way than to sit and wait."

Both Liu Zhenwei and Wu Mengda said so, even if Zhou Xingchi objected, it was useless, so the three of them went out to New Oriental together.

When they came to Li Maowen's office, Li Maowen seemed a little surprised.

It's enough to talk about publicity alone, why did Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda come together?
"Three please sit down."

Although he felt a little strange, Li Maowen invited the three of them to sit down.

"Manager Li, the promotion of "The Saint of Gamblers" is up to you."

Li Maowen is usually responsible for the promotion of movies. Naturally, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to take care of these trivial matters, unless it is a movie that he is particularly concerned about.

But what Liu Zhenwei didn't expect was that Li Maowen suddenly said something that surprised all three present.

"Mr. Lin is currently watching "The Holy Gambler" in the screening room, and he said that he will talk about the promotional matter after he has finished watching the film."

Lin Daoqiu actually took the initiative to watch this drama, which surprised Liu Zhenwei and the others.

All three of them wanted to rush to the screening hall to watch it with Lin Daoqiu, so as to know the shortcomings of this movie.

Calculating the time, Mr. Lin should have almost finished watching it, so wait a little longer.

After Li Maowen said so, they naturally couldn't go there, so they could only wait here honestly for Lin Daoqiu to finish reading "The Saint of Gamblers".

After about 10 minutes, Li Maowen suddenly received an internal call from Lin Daoqiu.

"All the promotional work of "The Holy Gambler" has been cancelled?"

Li Maowen repeated Lin Daoqiu's words to the three people at the scene almost at the same time.

The three of them all showed a blank expression when they heard it, and no one knew what happened.

"Mr. Lin, Liu Zhenwei and the three of them are in my office right now, okay, I'll let them go..."

After Li Maowen put down the phone, he said to the three of them, "Mr. Lin, please go over."

Although they don't know what happened, the hearts of the three have already reached their throats.

It's not a good sign that all the promotional work has been cancelled. Could it be that Lin Daoqiu thinks this drama is too bad after watching "The Gambler", so he doesn't plan to let this drama be released?
With a lot of doubts, the three came to Lin Daoqiu's office.

They had just entered the door before they had time to speak, only to hear Lin Daoqiu speak directly.

""The Holy Gambler" has been canceled."

Like being struck by lightning, Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi stared at Lin Daoqiu dumbfounded, they didn't know what happened.

Lin Daoqiu actually didn't expect that "The Gambler" would be filmed like this by them.

At first, he thought that if the filming was done according to the original cast, the final effect would not be as bad as the "Holy Gambler" he had seen in his previous life, at least it would not be too bad.

After all, Lin Daoqiu has always used this kind of natural thinking in filming, and the results are very good, so he thinks that this time "The Saint of Gamblers" should be the same.

But what he never expected was that the humorous and nonsensical Zhou Xingchi from his previous life could not be seen in this "The Saint of Gamblers", and it would be an over-reputation to describe him as mediocre.

For the first time, Lin Daoqiu felt the meaning of the word "pull the seedlings to encourage growth".

"Let's put aside the matter of the movie, Ah Xing, your performance and experience are not enough to be the leading actor in a movie, I plan to let you go back to Dongshi to train for two years."

Zhou Xingchi looked at Lin Daoqiu in shock, he never expected that the final result would be like this.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu can't help it. If this "Sacred Gambler" is released, it may end up with a box office score of 2000 million, but Zhou Xingchi will definitely not make people feel bright.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, is there something wrong with me?"

Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but start to tremble when he spoke, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to say.

"It's not that you didn't do well in some places, you didn't do well in many places. Although it's cruel for me to say this, but now you still lack experience and need to polish it."

Lin Daoqiu has already said this, if Zhou Xingchi still can't understand, then he is really a stick.

Liu Zhenwei and Wu Mengda didn't know what to say to comfort Zhou Xingchi, because it was indeed a difficult fact for him to accept.

"It's been two years of precipitation, and you have to hone your acting skills. You are very talented and have a lot of ideas. You should first figure out your own ideas and act on the TV station, and then think about the movie."

Now that Lin Daoqiu has made such a decision, he will not change it easily.

Zhou Xingchi, who was devastated, didn't know how he got out of Lin Daoqiu's office in the end. If Liu Zhenwei and Wu Mengda were not with him, he might not be able to help but want to cry now.
