Chapter 92: Super Big Winner!!
With the promise of Matthew, president of Columbia Pictures, and the other five companies to escort "Titanic" with theaters, Shao Gong and Kevin happily went to change their clothes, because Matthew was going to take them to the casino to play in a while. At this time www.biquge.info, only the presidents were left in the bathroom happily soaking in the bath.
Seeing that Matthew was about to get up and go out, Phillips asked a little puzzled: "Although we landed in Huaxia Cinema and the other party did not charge us a share of the box office, the Huaxia box office is calculated in RMB, and we are calculated in US dollars here." Compared with such a box office, there is no doubt that the box office of Magnesium Country has a higher gold content. Ouyang Shaogong proposed half of the box office just now, why did you refuse to share their box office first, this is not like you!!"
"An Oriental wants to make a movie from the country of magnesium, do you think it is possible?
Ma Xiu said with a sinister smile: "Ouyang Shaogong is very prestigious in the eyes of Chinese artists, he said that if he doesn't collect it, he will definitely not charge us box office profits, this is a good start, if we can put a long line to catch big fish, we will definitely not regret today's decision in the future." ”
"But I heard that they invested 200 million to make a disastrous "Titanic", and they are currently stepping up post-production, which is said to be almost complete, and they are still stepping up to shoot two new low-budget films. ”
Fox President Pete said: "But Oudian is determined not to cooperate with them, and they do not have any theater cooperation at present." ”
"That's why I said this is an opportunity, think about it, if we don't take his box office share, will he be embarrassed to accept us? What is the situation of Wright, the predecessor of Menghang, and will any good works be made with such a company? Once their movie is screened and the box office encounters Waterloo, then Ouyang Shaogong may have to return to China.
I think he was bewitched by Kevin Wright's guy at the beginning, thinking that if he came here, he would definitely be able to make a movie with a double box office reputation like in China. However, he will definitely continue to make movies when he returns to Huaxia, and at that time, we will do overseas promotion for his films, and we will still not charge half of the box office profits.
Pete said thoughtfully: "Regardless of whether there is a market for Chinese films overseas, we will confiscate their box office share anyway." At that time, Ouyang Shaogong, the movie we released in Menghang Cinema, will not have to collect our box office profits. ”
"The films we export overseas are the best works of each company, and although the Chinese box office is calculated in RMB, I believe that our films will crush their local film market like a tornado and occupy the box office charts. ”
Torres also dragged his chin and analyzed seriously: "Maybe we can use the Chinese market to test the water first, if the benefits are good, as long as we want to do it in the future, the entire Asian film market will be our world." ”
Hearing this, Matthew looked around and looked at the few people who were gradually smiling: "Do you think that the movies produced by your company are not as good as the works made by Asians?"
"Haha, what qualifications do they have to use their works to talk to us. ”
"So we're going to put a long line and catch big fish. ”
Matthew said proudly: "I learned this sentence in Huaxia, and now it is just right to use it against him." You soak slowly, I'm going to take him to the casino, hey, the little brother is still very young, I'll give him money to let him gamble a few times, so as to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, so as to facilitate better cooperation in the future. ”
"Go, I'm out of the money, a million dollars is not enough!!"
Phillips laughed and said, "Let him play with confidence, it's okay if he loses, it's okay with us!!"
"I'll give another million when he loses all of them!!"
Pete was also happy: "But we can't overdraw money without limit, with you watching by his side, how much money can you lose in an hour." You'll be in an hour from now, and he'll lose again, but he'll have to pay for it himself!!"
"Haha, you're so bad. ”
Instantly, there was a loud laugh in the bathroom.
The interior of the Las Vegas casino is very thoughtful, and it is believed that people who walk in for the first time will easily feel that they have entered another illusory world when they see the luxurious decoration, dizzy carpet patterns, lively music, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, cafes, shopping malls and other palace-like scenes.
Most of the people here have no windows and clocks, once people walk into this isolated, never see the light of day, few exits and difficult to find the city that never sleeps, if you are not careful, you will get lost in this small world and forget the time, and play day and night.
"These chips are given by my brother for free, so I think they are for my brother to come to the magnesium country to catch the wind. ”
"That's embarrassing. ”
"Here, I am the Lord, you are the guest, don't be polite to me, take it. ”
"Okay, I'll take it. ”
"That's it, here, brother, don't be polite to us. ”
Matthew forced Shao Gong to buy a million dollars in chips, pulled him around and said, "Has my brother played before?"
"No, this is my first time in Las Vegas. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Matthew and said, "Are there any rules at this gambling table?"
"Absolutely. ”
Matthew smiled: "In a casino, it's easy to exchange cash for chips. But it's not so convenient when you want to exchange chips for cash. Because the purpose of the casino is to let you play here, not to let you win and leave. Therefore, it is not possible to exchange chips for cash at the gaming tables and at the hotel front desk, you have to go to a special exchange office to exchange them. These exchange offices are usually located some distance from the table area and are inconspicuous.
The worst thing is that many casinos have only one window open to the public even during peak crowds. If you've been waiting in line for hours to redeem cash, I'm sure you'll give up and get back to the table!
In order to entice as many people as possible to gamble, most casinos offer free introductory courses for newbies. If you really decide to give it a try, it's best to do your homework first, so that you can choose the best gameplay among the many game rules. ”
Speaking of this, Matthew pointed to a table surrounded by a group of people, smiled at Shao Gong and said, "That's the novice area, and it's free to play games." As a veteran gambler, I have to remind my brother that a small bet is pleasant, and a big gamble hurts the body. Just have fun, but don't be emotional!"
"Yes. ”
"Well, we'll be separated. You guys, I'm going to go around, because I can't help but want to jump on the table with the chips in my hand. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Kevin, he's the best of us. ”
Matthew nodded to the two of them and walked away.
Looking at the table, Shao Gong looked at it for a while, but he didn't get involved, he just watched the dealer introduce various game rules to the novice guests, and also talked about various odds and game characteristics.
Silently memorizing those rules, Shao Gong said to Kevin, "Do you come here often?"
"It used to hurt me a lot here, and among those guys, I had a nickname: nine out of ten bets. Luckily, I don't gamble now......"
The guys he said were naturally the presidents of the other veteran companies, Kevin looked at the chips in Shaogong's hand and said, "It's better not to gamble, I'll go and stand in line, let's just change money and leave." ”
Hearing this, Shao Gong thought about it for a while, and said indifferently: "Since you have already come, if you don't play two hands, won't it be too much of a loss?" Looking at the surrounding gaming tables, Shao Gong led Kevin to a roulette table, which is a fascinating and very exciting game.
It consists of a roulette wheel, an ivory ball and a gaming table. The roulette wheel rotates around the reels, players can buy a single number or a combination of numbers on the table, and when all players have placed their bets, the dealer will release a small ball, and finally stop at that number slot, and that number is the final result.
Seeing that he wanted to play this, Kevin said, "Let's play something else!!"
"No, that's it. ”
Seeing that the gamblers around him simply didn't take the chips seriously, Shao Gong also tentatively pressed the chips of 2000 US dollars, and lost it at one time, through this game he found that the game can be controlled, and the control is in the hands of the dealer.
But who is he, when it comes to control, you control the ball, Lao Tzu controls the person who plays the ball, see who controls whom.
After thinking about it, Shao Gong showed a charming smile, pressed 50,000 chips again, and still lost, and then continued to press 100,000, or lose, watching Shao Gong's playfulness, Kevin couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, for fear that he would play too much, and began to withdraw the money in the card to exchange for chips.
After playing several games in a row, Shao Gong lost, and now he only has $500,000 in chips. At this time, a beautiful woman with a punctual figure came over and asked him what to drink.
"Coke. ”
"Don't you want alcohol, we've got all the wine here, it's all free!!"
"No, I just want Coke. ”
Seeing that he was so sure, the beauty had to bring him a bottle of Coke. Here, as long as you sit down and play the game, you can enjoy free unlimited drinks.
But it's definitely not free, because driven by alcohol and atmosphere, many people will have difficulty playing longer and bigger, and winning more and more money in the casino. Originally, when I was sober, I planned to play for only an hour, but I drank alcohol and kept playing all night, which is no longer strange in the casino. Smoking Coke, Shao Gong has now figured out the rules inside, he placed all the chips at once this time, and the dealer saw him so arrogant, and smiled at him: "Has the guest decided??"
"It's decided, just press thirty-three. ”
"Wish the guests good luck. ”
The dealer smiled and ignored Shaogong, but he always had a number thirty-three lingering in his mind, and when he saw that everyone had pressed their chips, he started the game. As a result, this time, the small ball, after spinning several times, finally rolled into the groove of Thirty-Three.
Wow!!
At this time, the people around him couldn't help but be shocked, even Kevin was shocked, he patted Shaogong on the shoulder and said excitedly: "I lost several times, and this time I finally got it right." Big turnover, big turnaround!!" This one, in addition to the capital of $1 million, he has enough chips to win $10 million.
Looking at the games around him, Shao Gong lost interest in playing any more, and after getting up with a large denomination of chips, he threw off the only $5 small chip in his hand to the dealer as a tip and led Kevin to leave calmly, leaving an extremely chic back for the onlookers.
At the exchange office, Shao Gong queued for an hour and a half, and finally exchanged the cash and deposited it into a card, after he walked out, Kevin was smoking a cigarette leisurely outside: "I thought you would be impatient to wait and continue to play two handfuls!!"
"I'm not a professional gambler, so I'm not addicted to it. ”
Shao Gong looked at the splendid scenery outside the casino, thought of the life of the drunken gold fans inside, and said indifferently: "Las Vegas is also here, the casino is also visited, the money is blocked, our original purpose has been achieved, and we can go back with peace of mind." ”
"You really can't stay here for long, or I'm worried about you going in again. ”
Thinking of Shao Gong's reversal, Kevin smiled and said, "I don't think Matthew would have thought that you would be a big winner on the roulette wheel tonight." ”
"No one can stop luck when it comes, tonight's turnaround is a good sign, and I think our "Titanic" will also have a good omen. ”
He looked at Kevin and said with a determined gaze: "I believe that our good fortune will not be just this time, and in the future, we will definitely get better and better and become super winners." ”
"Yes, big wins. ”
With the theatrical screening of "Titanic", Kevin was in a very good mood, he flagged down a taxi, went back to the hotel with Shaogong to rest, and flew back to Austin the next day.
