In the early 80s, Hui Tsz-ming and Wong Pak-ming co-created "Best Partner", which broke the box office record of Hong Kong films for the first time, setting a record of 22 million.

The popularity of "Best Partner" that year made major Hong Kong film companies recognize the decline of martial arts films and the rise of comedy films.

Although Lin Zhengying later created a phantom style with the phantom film "Mr. Zombie", the post-production is only getting worse and worse. Because of this style of film, low-cost shooting, and high-cost box office, many film and television companies are jealous, and follow-up films emerge in an endless stream, so that Lin Zhengying's reputation as Uncle Jiu's reputation has gradually deteriorated.

In the following time, because Xu Ziming stayed in the United States to study, without Xu Ziming's restraint, Xinyicheng naturally continued to kill all sides in the film market, but even if Xinyicheng won the box office champion of the year within two years, compared with Xu Ziming's "True Colors of Heroes" The box office record of nearly 30 million in Hong Kong, Xinyicheng has not been able to break it.

I never thought that when Golden Harvest's "Lucky Stars Shine" was painted, it had already broken the box office record of 30 million, with as much as 32 million.

Soon after the painting of "The Saint of Gambling", the box office was not as much as 40 million as Xu Ziming expected, on the contrary, it was 1 million worse than the box office of "Lucky Star", but this result is indeed great news for Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, Wang Guxian and others who played the leading role for the first time.

Xu Ziming thought that there were many factors in this achievement, and the "Gambling Saint" in the original time and space was filmed immediately after the just-finished "God of Gamblers". On the other hand, the current comedy style is prevalent, and it is difficult for other styles of movies to break this limitation, and most of the audience is nourished by "Best Partner". In addition, Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical performance at that time was becoming more and more gradual, rather than a little rusty now.

What is strange is that the celebration banquet of "Gambling Saint" has just been announced to be set up in Li Yuan, and the next day, Golden Harvest will also announce that the celebration banquet of "Lucky Star Gaozhao" will be set up in Li Yuan.

Xu Ziming didn't know if this was the sudden breaking of the box office of 30 million on the side of Golden Harvest, which meant that he had made a comeback to disgust himself.

took Lin Qingxia over in the car, and just saw Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda getting out of the car, Xu Ziming asked with some curiosity: "Why didn't Xiaoxian come with you." ”

Zhou Xingchi explained: "She said that the first time she participated in the celebration banquet, it only made sense to dress up,"

"Oh. Xu Ziming expressed understanding.

Women love beauty, and women have it.

Zhou Xingchi saw that Xu Ziming was in a very good mood, and said a little timidly: "Mr. Xu, I heard that this time, the box office of "Gambling Saint" seems to have lost to Golden Harvest's "Lucky Star Gaozhao". As soon as Zhou Xingchi spoke, Wu Mengda quietly patted him behind his back.

Like Xu Ziming, who is young and successful, in the best schedule of Hong Kong movies in the past years, the movies released can trample on the movies of the same period, and suddenly this myth was broken, Wu Mengda was worried that Zhou Xingchi had poked Xu Ziming's soft spot.

But fortunately, Xu Ziming's reaction was flat, Wu Mengda suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Xu Ziming smile indifferently: "Market competition, this is a very normal phenomenon." ”

A few people entered the Lee Garden restaurant, and as soon as they got out of the elevator upstairs, they immediately attracted a flash of light, flashing so that several people couldn't open their eyes.

More than a dozen reporters crowded over together, and one of them asked: "Mr. Xu, did you expect that the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" would break 30 million this time?"

Xu Ziming knows what modesty is, he guessed if he himself answered this question, the reporter below should ask about Jiahe, he walked to the dining room and said with a smile: "This question, you should ask Jiahe the best, do you know that it will break 30 million in advance." ”

Wu Mengda, who was following behind, watched the flash of the media continue to shoot, and suddenly felt infinite pride, and showed off to the media as soon as his blood boiled: "If the script written by Mr. Xu can't be broken for 20 million, then Mr. Xu is very faceless." ”

Another reporter continued: "The box office of "The Saint of Gambling" does not break 20 million and there is no face, so "Royal Sister" is a bad movie in the eyes of Mingjia Film Company?"

"Royal Senior Sister" was released in 13 Shaw Brothers theaters rented by Pan Disheng, but because of the prestige of "Lucky Stars", and the new and strange style of "The Saint of Gambling" was deeply liked by the audience and snatched away the audience. In the end, the movie "Royal Sister" still honestly won more than 10 million at the box office, but compared to more than 20 million, it is still 108,000 miles behind.

Xu Ziming stopped, turned to the reporter and said: "This friend, your thinking is really active and changeable, my relationship with Mr. Pan has always been okay, and I will not allow my own company to slander other companies, be careful that I sue you for slander." ”

Before the reporter could speak, another reporter had already rushed to ask: "Mr. Xu, this time the address and time of your "Gambling Saint" celebration banquet and Jiahe's celebration banquet are the same, is it that you Mingjia and Jiahe are stiff and disgusting each other." ”

Xu Ziming said with a smile: "There are many strange things in the world, you might as well think about it differently, or it is a sign that I have discussed with Jiahe and the harmonious relationship between the two families." ”

The reporter refused to give up and deliberately said: "Mr. Hung Jinbao's "Lucky Star Photos" has broken the box office record in Hong Kong over the years, and Mr. Hui's "The Saint of Gambling" also failed, what does Mr. Xu think?"

Xu Ziming sneered and complained: "You use a pager without Chinese subtitles, and other people's pagers do not have Chinese subtitles, but there are many functions, what do you think?"

Xu Ziming is in disguise admitting the advantages of "Lucky Stars", the so-called times create heroes, and it is a trend for "Lucky Stars to Shine" to break records.

Seeing that Xu Ziming couldn't ask anything, the reporters immediately turned the object of their questioning to others.

"Xingzai, as soon as you debuted as the protagonist, the movie is 30 million, your Ah Xing image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has Mr. Xu continued to create a sequel series of "The Saint of Gambling" for you?" This reporter obviously likes "The Saint of Gambling" starring Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi is now only fame with "The Saint of Gambling", and his qualifications are still very small, and many media naturally still call Xingzai.

Zhou Xingchi said frankly and sincerely: "I don't know yet, as long as Mr. Xu has any films for me to shoot, I will definitely not refuse." ”

Xu Ziming was very pleased, and took advantage of the situation to hold Zhou Xingchi's shoulder and said, "Xingzai, I value him very much." ”

The reporter saw Lin Qingxia beside Xu Ziming with some displeasure, and said curiously: "Mr. Xu, when will you make a big production for Miss Lin?"

Asked about this topic, Xu Ziming turned to look at Lin Qingxia, and saw the beautiful woman's somewhat complaining eyes, Xu Ziming knew that he had neglected her a little, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Thinking that Lin Qingxia had already intended to shoot Cheng Long's "Police Story", Xu Ziming held Lin Qingxia's hand tightly, and said pitifully and cautiously: "I have always been thinking of a good plot for Qingxia, and I can't break the script of 30 million, I am embarrassed to write it for her to shoot." ”

"Amin, your words are very domineering. Hong Jinbao answered directly not far away, Jiahe's "Lucky Star Gaozhao" celebration banquet was around the corner of the corridor, Hong Jinbao just came out and heard Xu Ziming's bold words.

The reporters followed the voice, and Hong Jinbao was followed by a brigade, and behind Hong Jinbao were the protagonists of "Lucky Stars", Cen Jianxun, Qin Xianglin, Wu Yaohan, Hu Huizhong, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Qi Ma, Lin Zhengying, Cao Dahua, Zhang Chong, Xixie Michiko and others.

Xu Ziming didn't expect that Lin Zhengying, who had a high value with phantom films the year before last, also served as the villain this time.

Qin Xianglin caught a glimpse of Lin Qingxia behind Xu Ziming, and was embarrassed, but Hu Huizhong excitedly greeted Lin Qingxia excitedly: "Qingxia, you are also here." ”

Hu Huizhong became popular in the film industry when he was young with his pure and lovely appearance and acting talent, and was jointly known as Hu Guanzhen and Hu Yinmeng, the "Three Hus" in the Taiwanese film industry, and "Shuanglin".

And because of the similarity with Lin Qingxia, who debuted earlier, has a somewhat similar face and temperament, people are happy to compare the two, and also call Hu Huizhong Lin Qingxia's successor.

In fact, Lin Qingxia and Hu Huizhong are very good friends, and their temperament and personality are very close.

Seeing Hu Huizhong coming over, Lin Qingxia was surprised and directly let go of Xu Ziming's hand and chatted with the other party.

Hong Jinbao asked Cheng Long to bring the other personnel in, and then in front of everyone, one hand was directly on Xu Ziming's shoulder, and a very harmonious action surprised many media, he smiled: "Ah Ming, the first time I made a movie, I was higher than you, I couldn't have imagined it myself." ”

Xu Ziming followed the action and said with a smile: ""Lucky Stars Shine" is a good movie, but unfortunately I didn't have time to watch it, so I painted it. If "Lucky Stars Shine" comes out with a laser film, I will definitely buy it and take a look. ”

Hong Jinbao also touted: ""The Saint of Gambling" is just a bad time, if you wait a few years to shoot again, presumably the box office will reach higher." ”

The two of them are heroes and cherish heroes, Xu Ziming feels that Hong Jinbao is very discerning, and "The Saint of Gambling" is a movie that broke the box office of 40 million in the original time and space.

Many reporters thought that the two would have an endless quarrel, but they didn't expect that it was this harmless scene of humans and animals, and the group suddenly lost their interest.

At this time, many reporters followed into the venue, and Cheng Long also took others into the table one after another, and after pulling out, he immediately turned around and came to the place where the two were chatting.

After Cheng Long and Xu Ziming greeted casually, they said to Hong Jinbao: "Brother Sanmao, Uncle Huai urged us to go in." ”

Hong Jinbao knew the measure, so he said to Xu Ziming: "Ah Ming, have time to talk more." ”

Xu Ziming expressed his understanding, and after saying goodbye to Hong Jinbao, he also followed his people into the dining room and took a seat.
