Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 589
"My name is Ah Sheng. Although I look like an ordinary person, my life is not ordinary at all, because I am very unlucky. Just keep reading and you will know how unlucky it is."

Just as Fu Sheng finished speaking, he was suddenly hit by an egg thrown from upstairs.

The beginning of this kind of movie is already a bad street in later generations, with nothing new.

But if it is changed to 1981, it will make people feel bright.

The post-production of "Unlucky Gambler" has been completed. In the small screening hall of New Oriental, Lin Daoqiu became the first audience of this drama.

In addition to Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing and Fu Sheng were also present. After all, one of them is the director and the other is the lead actor in this film, and they each have different ideas in their hearts.

Originally, when Wang Jing was filming "The Bad Luck Gambler", he wanted to break his previous box office record and break through 2000 million box office.

But now Xiangjiang Cinemas has been disbanded, so this movie can only be screened in New Oriental Cinemas.

Although New Oriental Cinemas has a total of 22 theaters, the attendance rate of each theater reaches more than [-]% unless it is within [-] days.

Only in this way can this drama hope to break through the 2000 million box office.

And "Unlucky Gambler" is Lin Daoqiu's copy of the plot of "Gambler 2002" produced by Wang Jing in his previous life.

After removing some things that would not appear in this era, Wang Jing himself processed the script a second time.

It seems that in some places, there is still a big gap between Wang Jing and Shang Zong.

At least you can't see it very much in it, the style of shit, shit and nonsensical comedy.

It can be said that this film Wang Jing was very serious, and it was a bit different from the Wang Jing in Lin Daoqiu's memory.

But the good news is that there are still many highlights in this drama, such as the heroine played by Zhong Chuhong, and the bad woman played by Guan Zhilin.

It would be unimaginable to put these two beauties of Xiangjiang together in one play, if it were put in later generations.

Lin Daoqiu believes that even if the box office of this drama is not very good, it will definitely be brought up for discussion by then.

Because this is Rosamund Kwan's first movie in this life, and it's a collaboration with Zhong Chuhong.

Even if this movie sucks, just because of this, I believe it will become a classic in the hearts of some movie fans.

The length of "Unlucky Gambler" is controlled at 96 minutes, and it can be said that the length of one and a half hours should be a very reasonable time.

In this play, Lin Daoqiu didn't write any exaggerated gambling skills. In the end, the hero's magic weapon to win depends on his luck.

As for those gambling masters, they all lost to his strong luck in the end.

Lin Daoqiu wrote this in order not to affect the future "God of Gamblers" and other series of movies that rely on gambling skills.

When Fu Sheng defeated the big boss and finally embraced the beauty, the movie came to an end.

"Yes, although some places are not very good, but generally speaking, this drama is not too different from what I imagined."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have much thought about Wang Jing's "Unlucky Gambler".

Because the original version of "The Gambler 2002" was called a bad movie in the previous life.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu wants to make this movie is just to see what kind of reaction this kind of bad movie will get at this moment.

"The schedule has been arranged for you. It will be in mid-August. It will be screened in New Oriental. Wen Qi, I have already explained to Maowen, and asked him to help promote this drama."

When Wang Jing and Fu Sheng heard what Lin Daoqiu said, they both had happy smiles on their faces.

The schedule in August is not bad. Although it is not as good as those big holidays, the students are still on summer vacation.

If the publicity is proper, it should attract many people to watch.

But as for the final box office, Wang Jing doesn't dare to predict now.

Even Lin Daoqiu himself couldn't predict how much box office this drama could get.

And just a few days later, the promotion of "Unlucky Gambler" has quietly started.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that nothing would happen to the release of "Unlucky Gambler" this time.

But what he didn't expect was that Baojia Cinemas suddenly released the news that the movie "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" starring Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei will be released on the same day as "Unlucky Gambler".

This "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers", although the name sounds domineering, is actually a comedy.

And this time Zeng Zhiwei not only played the leading role, but also served as the director as well.

Even Lin Daoqiu was sure that this film that came out must have come to snipe "The Bad Luck Gambler".

And the person who made this decision, no need to think about it, must be Bao Shaogang.

…………

"Bao Shao, the time is a little too tight, and I'm worried that I won't be able to finish the post-production by then."

Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian's "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" have not yet finished filming, and they haven't even done post-production.

In the end, I was suddenly told that next month, it will be released on the same day as "The Bad Luck Gambler".

"Director Zeng, I have already prepared sufficient production fees for you. I believe you will be able to fulfill my request satisfactorily."

Bao Shaogang didn't care about Zeng Zhiwei's worries at all.

Although in this play, there are not many people who can be named.

But he believes that if Baojia Cinemas and New Oriental compete, even if the quality of the film is inferior, they can beat each other at the box office.

"but……"

Zeng Zhiwei is still very worried, he finally became a director, and he still has a sufficient budget in his hand.

Under such circumstances, he also wants to make the movie better, so that the effect will be better when it comes out.

But it's a pity that Bao Shaogang didn't give him this chance at all.

If the post-production time is included, Zeng Zhiwei needs at least one and a half months to finish filming the next scenes.

But now there is only less than a month left, which will almost push Zeng Zhiwei to the edge of the cliff.

"There's nothing but, Director Zeng, don't you want to win Lin Daoqiu once? This is a good opportunity. As long as you win this time, you will be the great director who beat Lin Daoqiu."

In the past, when Xiangjiang Theaters still existed, almost no one would dare to think about defeating Lin Daoqiu.

But now, Xiangjiang Cinemas has been disbanded, and Baojia Cinemas is on the rise.

At this time, if he could defeat Lin Daoqiu, it would be a chance for him to become famous.

"Can I?"

But Zeng Zhiwei thought about it, and still felt that he was unlikely to be Lin Daoqiu's opponent.

Even though his "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" was released across the board in Baojia Cinemas, Zeng Zhiwei still felt that it was too difficult to win against Lin Daoqiu.

"Of course you're fine, because I'm behind you to support you. Don't worry about it. I've asked the propaganda department to fully support you. You must win this time."
