Produced by DreamWorks Films, produced by Hu Cois, and co-directed by Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Xingchi, the film "The Saint of Gambling" was co-screened in DreamWorks Theaters.

At the same time, "Out of Africa", which has achieved a box office of nearly $90 million in North America, has also been co-screened in Liberty Cinemas and Anle Cinemas.

The films released at the same time as "The Saint of Gambling" and "Out of Africa" are: Golden Harvest's "Rich Train", Xinyicheng's "Best Shooting Thousands of Miles to Save the Poor Woman", "North and South Shaolin" released by Shaw Brothers Productions Yindu, and Debao's "The Husband in Love with a Wife" (adapted from "Goodbye Seven Days of Love").

At the midnight show on the first day of the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling", Hu Comet was very nervous!

Nowadays, the only pursuit of Hu Yizhong, who wants money and money, children and children, and love is love.

Therefore, Hu Comet wants to be the general manager of DreamWorks Films, so that he can show his ambitions.

And Hu Cois's first film "The Saint of Gambling" is undoubtedly a very important step in Hu Coad's career.

Therefore, Hu Comet will inevitably be a little nervous.

In addition-

Since the 70s, the midnight show has been a film screening for the marketing of the film and the main creators to receive feedback from the audience.

In order to know the audience's reaction first-time, most of the producers and directors will attend.

Midnight theaters are mostly located in the downtown area, and the time slot is arranged at 11:30 p.m. on weekends, and the audience is mainly the younger generation of Hong Kong, such as students, young couples, and urban night travelers, who give the most direct feedback on the likes and dislikes of the film.

Midnight screenings are a litmus test of a film's prowess, often predicting box office prospects. Based on the audience's feedback, the director will re-edit the film and change the dialogue to suit the audience's preference, which is where the characteristics of Heung Kong Film's entertainment are fully revealed.

For the midnight show, many directors have a sense of skin - the audience who watches the midnight show has something they don't like, and they just applaud. He even shouted "Who the hell is the director?" Stand up for me! Or shout, "Who the hell wrote the script?" Get that bucket out! ”

It is precisely because of this that many producers, directors, and screenwriters dare not attend the midnight show - Xu Ke was forced into the midnight show by producer Wu Siyuan, and ran away as soon as he arrived at the door of the theater; Yuan Heping rarely entered the midnight field. In "Erotic Men and Women" directed by Er Dongsheng, there was a vivid depiction of the midnight scene, and the scene was extremely hot.

The midnight show is a hurdle that producers and directors must pass, because sooner or later producers and directors who want box office results will have to face the audience at the midnight show.

Xu Cun, who saw Hu Coad's nervousness, took the initiative to accompany Hu Cois, Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Xingchi to watch the midnight scene of "The Saint of Gambling", and helped Hu Comet spend the two hours that made her extremely nervous.

Actually-

The audience at midnight also applauded and applauded when they saw a good movie, like a riot.

For example, "The Saint of Gambling", which is released today.

At the beginning of the film, it was revealed that Zhou Xingchi would have special functions, could the audience not be interested in such a big gimmick? Everyone has curiosity, and the audience will not abandon the drama or scold halfway through this - they all want to see what Zhou Xingchi's special functions can do, and it is definitely not as simple as drinking free soda.

Therefore, as soon as "The Saint of Gambling" was screened, some viewers shouted:

"Special features? It's kind of interesting! ”

"Ah Xing will have special functions, there must be something to see!"

"Special features plus gambling? It shouldn't be much worse than "God of Gamblers", right? ”

“……”

Hearing the audience's discussion, Hu Cunzhong had been holding Xu Cun's hand since the lights were turned off before he loosened slightly, and Xu Cun took this opportunity to pat Hu Cun's hand and signaled that she didn't need to be nervous.

"Uncle has been in Hong Kong for decades, and he didn't get beaten up that week? I'm happy! What can they do with me? ”

"Hey, brother! Everyone comes from all over the world, maybe it was one family 500 years ago, right? You can't kill each other for something as small as the death of your eldest brother, right? In fact, I understand the feelings of your eldest brother who died today, because my eldest brother also died when I was three years old! Not only that, but my little brother died when I was four years old! ”

“……”

"Dare to make a thousand in front of me, you will be my mallet, drag it out! Ladies and gentlemen, I now officially announce that the winner of this year's King of Gambling Contest is Mr. Zuo Songxing, the representative of Taiwan! ”

Actually-

Aside from the gimmick of adding special features, "The Saint of Gambling" doesn't have much new ideas.

But now it is the hottest trend of gambling films.

In addition, Zuo Songxing played by Zhou Xingchi is a kind and sober mainlander who is stupid but does not lose the kindness of a small person, and the mutual photos between him and the third uncle and his neighbors also show the warmth of the lower-class characters, which can resonate with the audience.

coupled with Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda's innate comedy talent.

It adds some light-hearted color to the gambling film, which is originally very gunpowdery. There is no shooting, revenge, blood, and violence, but it adds some humor, humor, and some nonsensical atmosphere.

The audience liked this "Gambling Saint" very much, so much so that they applauded constantly.

Judging from the audience's reaction, Hu Comet knew that she should have succeeded in this step.

At the same time, Hu Cunzhong admired the god-like Xu Cun even more - Xu Cun casually gave her an idea of 'special functions and gambling films', and then gave her a simple story, and then recommended a few directors and actors to her, and she could make a movie that would be applauded by the vast majority of the audience. Let's ask, how can Hu Comet not admire Xu Cun?

……

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Cun and Hu Yizhong left the Taiping Theater through the back door a short time earlier.

As for dealing with the midnight audience, it was all handed over to Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Xingchi.

After getting into his car, Xu Cun was ready to let the driver Qian Yaozu (Tu Weihua was still 'protecting' Yuan Tianfan, so Qian Yaozu served as Xu Cun's driver and bodyguard during this time. Drive the car to Zhu Baoyi and Zhang Manyu - tonight, Xu Cun is going to spend the night at Zhu Baowei and Zhang Manyu.

But without waiting for Xu Cun to tell Qian Yaozu, Hu Yizhong said to Qian Yaozu: "Old Qian, go to my villa in Deep Water Bay." ”

Then, Hu Yizhong leaned on Xu Cun's ear and said, "Tonight, I want to repay you well!" ”

Xu Cun hugged Hu Comet and said lustfully: "Are you alone?" ”

While speaking, Xu Cun had already put his hand into Hu Zhongzhong's clothes.

Hu Yizhong glanced at Qian Yaozu, who was concentrating on driving, and then held down Xu Cun's hand that was wandering around her, and then whispered in Xu Cun's ear: "The protagonist tonight is not me, I have prepared two gifts for you that will definitely satisfy you." ”
