Wang Jin, who got Xu Ziming's approval, returned to wireless to talk to Shao Yifu, and Shao Yifu was happy to learn that Xu Ziming wanted to make a film with Shaw Brothers alone.

Although Shao Yifu was said by the wireless artist to be stingy. But this time it was generous, the original Sanqi investment remained unchanged, and all the artists were ready, and the set was provided free of charge. In this way, the main preparations for the God of Gambling began.

At this time, the filming of Hong Kong movies took a short time, and with the support of Xu Ziming and Shao Yifu, it only took a few days from notifying the actors to officially starting filming.

And during this period, Guan Zhilin also called Xu Ziming to take over the role of Ah Zhen, and Xu Ziming also went to Guan Zhilin's house in person to see Guan Shan, who was discharged from the hospital not long ago, after all, Xu Ziming and Guan Zhilin are also nominal boyfriend and girlfriend, which he can't be negligent.

Zhou Yunfa and Chen Yulian's schedules have been adjusted, giving priority to the filming of "God of Gamblers".

As for the production cost of the film, Shaw Brothers estimates that the total investment of this big cast is about 3 million. However, Xu Ziming's bill to Shaw Brothers was much higher than this amount.

The reason is very simple, the location of the casino Xu Ziming does not want to be a little rough like the shooting of the original time and space, he is not an investor under the fence, he has the ability to rent a luxurious gambling hall, so that it can appear more realistic.

"Ah Ming, you are playing too seriously like this, 10 million, this big sum is not the capital taken by Hong Kong film companies, if the box office of the movie is not very high, there is no possibility of even recovering the cost. Shao Yifu took a breath of cold air, 10 million hands, Shao Yifu is not unable to take it, but this is very risky.

In Hong Kong's luxury gambling halls, there is no need to rent them at all, and Shaw Brothers will set up a few tents on the set, but it will take a little more time to get it done when the post-editing is processed.

Shaw Brothers thought it was generous, but it became stingy here in Xu Ziming, you must know that the box office of the movies made by Shaw Brothers at this time was basically two or three million, and it was very okay for ordinary movies in Hong Kong to have more than one million. But Xu Ziming's account is 10 million! This actual shooting quality is much higher than that of other films released at the same time.

"Well, Uncle Six, if you have money, don't worry too much, this time thanks to the help of the Shaw Brothers, I have a place to use as an investor, the Shaw Brothers only need to pay three-tenths of the three million, and the rest is mine, after all, you are three and I are seven, and I still have some money if the box office is big." Xu Ziming shook his hand and said very simply.

After all, there are only investors in filming, and it can't be done without staff, Shao Yifu did not propose to increase the proportion of investment, but was very responsible for the things of "God of Gamblers", Xu Ziming was already very grateful.

"That's okay, it's still your kid who has the courage. Shao Yifu smiled and gave Xu Ziming a thumbs up.

This decision is even more perfect than Shao Yifu expected, as long as his Shaw Brothers contributes less than one million funds, even if the box office is only 10 million, he Shaw Brothers can only make money and not lose money.

In terms of actors, compared with many candidates in the original time and space, Xu Ziming made changes, letting Wan Ziliang play Gao Yi and Liang Jiahui play Daozai's good friend Crow. Chen Jincheng's actor has not changed, Hua Liucheng is still Wu Mengda, Xiang Huaqiang plays Long Wu, and Brother Jiu still lets Cheng Kuian play it. As for other characters that are not very heavy, Xu Ziming didn't have time to think about it, so he simply let the people of Shaw Brothers choose.

After the filming of the movie started, Xu Ziming did not go to the set, but handed over the rights to Wang Jin, Wang Jin as the director, and Fang Yihua of the Shaw Brothers hung up an empty position as a producer, but in fact, there was someone else who supervised the producer for the Shaw Brothers.

When Xu Ziming was free, he watched in a group of staff and did not alarm Wang Jin's shooting.

Chen Yulian's performance of the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship between Zhou Yunfa in the play is not unfamiliar at all, after all, the two are boyfriend and girlfriend in reality.

Xu Ziming is not an idle person, since his second uncle Xu Shifen transferred part of the shares to his name, he has a lot of time for work painting, so that he has no time to see many shots later, and there is also a new development in the newspaper company arranged by Xu Ziming and Zhang Bing, and he has been busy recently.

Wang Jin once again gave full play to his advantages as a fast gunner, and in less than half a month, he had already started filming the plot of the knife boy's appearance.

This is Liu Dehua's first big-screen work, he was a little nervous, but he felt that his role was not heavy, and he should be able to take it, but when it was his turn to appear on the camera, he found that he was much more nervous than his usual tricks.

Yesterday, Gao Yi's role played by Wan Ziliang was not in place because of his expression, but Wang Jin asked to shoot many times, but Wan Ziliang didn't have any temper, and he knew Zhou Yanfa and his group very well, and he understood Wang Jin's filming very well.

But Liu Dehua doesn't know that a newcomer in the film industry like him has to be scolded to death, the more he thinks about Liu Dehua, the more nervous he becomes, and when Wang Jin shouted, Liu Dehua's nervous fingers were pinched and white.

"What, are you nervous?" A joking voice sounded in Liu Dehua's ears

He turned his head nervously: "No, don't be nervous, when are you coming, Miss Guan." ”

"Just came. ”

It was Guan Zhilin who came to Liu Dehua's side silently, and when she arrived here, she saw Liu Dehua pinching his hands and wiping his pants, looking nervous, and she felt very interesting in her heart.

How to say that Liu Dehua is also the person who was selected by Xu Ziming as one of the male leads, Guan Zhilin plays Ah Zhen again, and the relationship with the knife boy in the play is boyfriend and girlfriend, Wang Jin is calling people outside, she came in to see if Liu Dehua is ready.

"Is that still called nervousness? What do you look like when you're nervous?" Guan Zhilin stared at Liu Dehua and smiled.

"No, it's not, it's the first time to be the protagonist in a movie, and the director is very strict, so I'm afraid that I will embarrass Mr. Xu if I don't act well. Liu Dehua said embarrassedly.

Guan Zhilin shook her head with a smile and said: "Take it easy, isn't it just filming, if you don't act well once, twice, twice or three times, there will always be a proper performance, I believe in you." Guan Zhilin felt that the stunned Qing in front of her was a little funny, thinking that Guan Zhilin also made a lot of jokes when she filmed "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", but what are these, Xu Ziming believes that this Liu Dehua can do it, and Guan Zhilin also believes it.

"Thank you, Miss Guan, I will behave well, have you memorized your lines" Liu Dehua said excitedly, and at this time he also felt a sense of pity.

Liu Dehua didn't know the relationship between Guan Zhilin and Xu Ziming, and simply thought that Guan Zhilin was just an artist invited by Xu Ziming to shoot "God of Gamblers", and when he saw that Guan Zhilin cared about him, his heart was very warm.

When Liu Dehua saw Guan Zhilin for the first time on the set, he was shocked, because after he saw Guan Zhilin, he knew that there were such beautiful people in Hong Kong.

Liu Dehua once said that Guan Zhilin's beauty is "both inside and outside", with both purity and sexiness in a red dress, the country and the city, and the beauty is incomprehensible!

"What do you want?" Liang Jiahui, who was wearing a costume, hurriedly ran in and slapped Liu Dehua on the shoulder, "The director is calling you, our role has arrived." Liang Jiahui spoke in a hurry, and it seemed that Wang Jin's harshness in filming made him feel a little shadowy.

Liu Dehua came back to his senses and found that the previous Guan Zhilin had become his good friend, Liang Jiahui. He shook his head, inexplicably happy in his heart, tidied up his clothes, and then came out with Liang Jiahui.

"Why are you here now?" Wang Jing stood up and moved his chubby and short body, and found Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui coming, so he asked.

"I'm sorry director, I'm a little nervous, so I'm late," Liu Dehua said embarrassedly.

"It's okay" Wang Jing said lightly, Xu Ziming had explained to him in advance, Liu Dehua is a newcomer after all, and it is inevitable that there will be discomfort on the set.

"Thank you, director" Liu Dehua shouted in his mouth, and he was very happy in his heart, in fact, the chubby director in front of him was also very understanding

Liu Dehua, who was preparing to shoot the first shot on the big screen, started filming the first shot, and before the decisive battle, Gao Jin, played by Zhou Yanfa, inadvertently stepped into a trap and fell down the hill, and was rescued by Daozi and his friend Crow.

"Click, this play is okay"

After Wang Jing shouted to stop, he pointed his finger at Liu Dehua, who had a good performance, "Your acting skills are okay, but this crow's performance is even better." ”

Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui didn't expect that they would enter the play so quickly, before the two were worried about messing up the play, but now after being praised by Wang Jin, the director, their hearts are even more confident.

Zhou Yunfa also pulled away from the set, watched Wang Jin point at the two, and said with a smile: "Andy is a very ideal person, obviously he can rely on his face to eat, but he prefers to rely on his acting skills, don't look at the current acting skills, but believe me he will definitely be a powerful faction in the future." There is also the actor of this crow is Hui Zai, Ziming also values it, and he will be as powerful as Andy in the future. ”

Later generations said that Liang Jiahui is changeable, and you can't see through what kind of actor he is.

Because he has a very good control over any role, even to the point of being impeccable. Whether it is the weak and sickly emperor in "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", or the happy chivalrous Zhou Huai'an in "New Dragon Gate Inn", or the arrogant and domineering Zhou Chaoxian in "Black Gold", every role seems to be played by him, and his play is really impeccable.

"Damn, the future is unknown, now it's up to him to see if he can play the current role well. Wang Jin sneered, what Xu Ziming said was true many times, and of course he was optimistic about the two people in front of him.

It's just that only a little plot has been filmed, and it doesn't look famous.

Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui listened to the conversation between the two, and they couldn't imagine that Zhou Yanfa was so optimistic about themselves, which made them unexpected, and they were very excited.
