The literary era since 1979

Longhua Teahouse is full of age, which can be seen from the decoration inside and outside the teahouse.

There were four red-painted characters "Longhua Teahouse" on the outer wall, and a half-open iron gate. They walked up the stairs of the old-fashioned Tang building and were greeted by the boss sitting at the cashier counter. There was no enthusiastic greeting. Fangyan and Gong Xing found a seat by the window and sat down, looking around.

Mosaic floor tiles, rusty old windows, traditional booths, old-style ceiling fans, aged teapots and dishes on the tables, tea pots on the counter with labels written in black brush on red paper - it's the style of an old teahouse in Macau from the 60s, exactly like the scene in "The Man from Macau".

"You said you wanted to go out for breakfast, so just go out and eat. Why did you buy two such big coconuts? Aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach?"

Gong Xing was holding a Hong Xin coconut that he had bought from Fruit Market Street.

"You don't understand this."

The dialect explains that there is a saying in Haojing that coconut can bring joy to marriage, and "having a father and a son" means the family is happy and complete.

"Is this really your first time in Haojiang? How come you know so much?"

Gong Xing took a sip of the coconut juice.

"Have you never eaten pork, or seen a pig running?"

Fangyan smiled and ordered steamed dim sum such as chicken feet, barbecued pork buns, and steamed spare ribs.

After a delicious meal, Gong Xing looked at the clock hanging on the wall:

"It's almost time. I think Aunt Six and the others should be at the hotel by now. Let's go to the hotel quickly."

"it is good!"

Fangyan left the teahouse and saw a Mercedes-Benz 250CE parked on the roadside not far away. He Chaoqiong also thoughtfully arranged a driver to be responsible for the trip.

They drove back to the hotel smoothly and waited quietly in the leisure coffee area for a while. They saw He Chaoqiong and Fang Yihua walking in front, talking and laughing. Wang Jing behind them was like an ant, following carefully and not daring to breathe casually.

"Please trouble Miss He."

Gong Xing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Six, for making you come all the way from Hong Kong to Macao."

"It's not hard. I should say you guys worked hard."

Fang Yihua held her hand, but looked at Fang Yan.

She and Run Run Shaw never imagined that Fang Yan's trip to Macau would not only easily help Deborah and Xie Xian's family solve the debt problem and resolve the public relations crisis of "Baby Smart Star", but would also use this opportunity to connect with Shaw Brothers and bring in He Xin to invest in the movie.

Surprises came one after another. Even though they were used to many ups and downs, they were still amazed at Fangyan's style and ability for a moment.

"I only dare to say so much because I have the support of my sixth uncle and sixth aunt. It's all thanks to Mr. He for not rejecting my face."

Fangyan poured coffee for everyone, and Gong Xing cooperated by passing it to everyone one by one.

"Mr. Fang, you are too modest. My father was full of praise for the script of "God of Gamblers" that you proposed."

He Chaoqiong said that he called Run Run Shaw that night to discuss the two companies' cooperation on a film.

Fang Yihua smiled and said, "Yes, your sixth uncle is very happy and decided to attend this charity party."

"It is our honor that Uncle Six is ​​willing to come."

Watching them talking more and more heatedly, Wang Jing said nothing and only dared to sit in one-third of the seats. He felt very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Fang Yihua brought up the topic of The God of Gamblers. "To be honest, Yanzi, I never thought that the new genre of film you said would give Shaw Brothers a new lease of life would be a gambling film." Then she added sugar cubes to the coffee, stirring it while saying, "Why is it a gambling film?"

"Because gambling films are Shaw Brothers' forte."

Fangyan looked at Wang Jing and cited the films "King of Thousand Kings" and "Gathering of Thousand Kings" written and directed by them and their son, both of which achieved good box office results.

"Not bad, indeed."

There was some hesitation and doubt in Fang Yihua's tone. If she hadn't been concerned about He Chaoqiong in front of her, she would have asked for the truth long ago.

Although Hong Kong gambling films originated from Shaw Brothers Films, how could such genre films be capable of reviving Shaw Brothers Films?
“Aunt Six probably doesn’t know yet what the story of the gambling film that I got STDM and Shaw Brothers to collaborate on is about, right?” Fang Yan took a sip of coffee.

Fang Yihua shook her head. He Xin only mentioned the investment and cooperation of the film on the phone, but did not mention the content and details of the film. So they still know nothing about the plot of the film. They only know that it is a film between a gambling addiction film and a gambling film.

Fang Yan glanced at Wang Jing and said, "Wang Jing, please remember this."

Wang Jing was startled and quickly took out a pen and paper from his briefcase, eager to record the story of "God of Gamblers".

"Shhhhh."

Wang Jing memorized whatever the dialect said. The more he wrote, the more excited he became. He swallowed involuntarily. His intuition told him that if he followed Teacher Fang's script and starred the popular duo of Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat, there would be no problem with the box office of "God of Gamblers".

If it's filmed well, it might even surpass "Baby Smart Star" and create a gambling movie that will make a sensation in Hong Kong and Macau.

Fang Yihua was also a connoisseur of talent, and the worry on her face gradually faded away. While praising Fang Yan's talent, she also expressed her concerns directly. The "God of Gamblers" series alone would not be enough to replace the old kung fu films and support the entire Shaw Brothers Films.

"One "God of Gamblers" series is definitely not enough, so what about two or three?"

As soon as Fang Yan said this, Fang Yihua, Wang Jing and others were immediately shocked.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The God of Gamblers hasn't even started yet, so how come the God of Gamblers and the Gambler pop up?
He Chaoqiong stared at him closely, and heard him casually telling the story of "God of Gamblers".

Wang Jing's eyes lit up as he listened, and he began to secretly figure out who to invite as the actor for the movie "God of Gamblers". The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost forgot himself. When he came to his senses, he realized that he had been so busy daydreaming that he actually missed the story.

"Mr. Fang, it turns out that you planted the foreshadowing about the 'God of Gamblers' in 'God of Gamblers' in order to pave the way for 'God of Gamblers'."

He Chaoqiong suddenly realized, "Did you intend from the beginning to make it a trilogy series, rather than just one "God of Gamblers"? "

More than that!

Fangyan plans to make The God of Gamblers the first film of Shaw Brothers’ resurgence, and then combine The God of Gamblers, The Gambler, and The God of Gamblers into a trilogy. He can even create an IP universe and incorporate The Gambler, 21, and Ocean’s Eleven…

When he thought of this, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If I say no, will Miss He believe it?"

"Whether Super Dome believes it or not, I don't believe it anyway."

Fang Yihua smiled slightly. This trilogy of gambling films alone was enough for Shaw Brothers to make seven or eight sequels. Of course, the premise was that the box office of "God of Gamblers" must not be too bad. They would be satisfied if it could achieve two-thirds of the performance of "Baby Smart Star".

"That Mr. Fang, I don't remember the whole story after God of Gamblers."

Wang Jing said weakly: "There is also the plot of "God of Gamblers"..."

Fang Yan said: "Isn't it easy to create "God of Gamblers"? It's just a combination of "God of Gamblers" and "The Saint of Gamblers"."

Wang Jing was suddenly speechless. His mood was like a roller coaster and suddenly sank to the bottom. Teacher Fang, isn't it enough for me to admit that I am stupid?

Seeing the embarrassed look of Shaw Brothers' most capable general, Fang Yihua sighed quietly. If Fang Yan was in charge, there would be no need to worry about Shaw Brothers' decline!
"Okay, don't make things difficult for Director Wang." Gong Xing advised.

"I hope you don't mind, because I don't plan to write the scripts for "God of Gamblers" and "Casino Tycoon" myself, so I have to rely on you to do the work."

Fangyan gave him an encouraging look. After all, he couldn't do everything himself and let the fat man take advantage of what was ready. Even the donkey in the production team couldn't rest like that. He had to be clear when it was time to exploit Wang Jing. The trilogy of gambling films was left for Wang Jing to ponder and think about.

Fang Yihua knew very well that he was very careful about his reputation and did not want to get too involved in such a criticized film as a gambling film, so she agreed without hesitation.

Wang Jing swallowed and suddenly felt a heaviness on his shoulders, much heavier.

"Don't panic. I won't stand idly by. I will still provide guidance where it is necessary."

Fang Yan said, "Take the story of "God of Gamblers" for example. You can arrange it like this: God of Gamblers Gao Jin accepts Dao Zai as his apprentice and teaches him all his gambling skills. Dao Zai returns after completing his studies and donates the money he won from gambling to charity in the name of Gao Jin, and is known as the God of Gamblers. On the other hand, the God of Gamblers A Xing hears that the God of Gamblers' descendant has returned to the arena, so he challenges him. Dao Zai and A Xing compete with each other, each showing off their strategies and skills, but in the end, there is no clear winner... Later, you can make up a story about the gambling tyrant's nephew coming for revenge, and let the God of Gamblers and the God of Gamblers team up to deal with him. What do you think?"

"Clap clap clap."

Fang Yihua, Wang Jing and others couldn't help but applaud. He Chaoqiong's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he was thinking about something. (End of this chapter)
