Chapter 0533: The Battle of the Xiangjiang Cinema Line

"It's getting deeper." Fang Yihua closed the newspaper casually, thought for a moment, and felt that although such topics were hot, they were really not suitable for TV stations to follow the hype, so she had to shake her head and give up.

Inadvertently looked out of the car, the huge poster of the movie "God of Gamblers" came into view, Fang Yihua couldn't help but smile slightly, because she knew that a new round of Xiangjiang cinema chain battle was about to begin.

Looking at the "God of Gamblers" style in the poster, Fang Yihua had to secretly admit that DreamWorks is indeed good at tapping the potential of artists, and Zhou Yunfa turned around, and it was really the right way.

DreamWorks took great pains into the operation of the movie "God of Gamblers", deliberately produced a 30-second trailer, advertised it on TVB and Media Asia TV, and director Wang Jing also led the crew to make frequent appearances and accept interviews with various media.

These processes have gone all the way, which shows from another angle that DreamWorks' professionalism is moving closer to Hollywood.

Fang Yihua still remembers that movie vividly, and with her understanding of Hong Kong people's gambling habits, Golden Harvest's "Plan A" released at the same time will definitely fall behind at the box office.

After arriving at the office, before Fang Yihua could sit down, she heard a report that made her frown, "What, it's only been three days, and "Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl" has gone offline?" ”

"DreamWorks Cinemas felt that the box office was unsatisfactory, so they beat it down." The subordinate cautiously explained.

Fang Yihua opened the file and looked at the box office figure on it that was only about 100,000, and his face couldn't help but feel hot, after all, he also hung up the title of producer, which was too shameless.

"It's too much of a loss, and I can't even earn back the labor costs." Fang Yihua muttered to herself. At the same time, I felt a little incredible.

Although this "Yang Guo and the Little Dragon Girl" did not make as much publicity as DreamWorks' "God of Gamblers". But the TV series "The Condor Heroes" has more than ninety percent high ratings. is already the best reputation, coupled with Leslie Cheung and Weng Jingjing, two rising idol stars as the male and female protagonists, the movie should not end up in such a miserable situation.

You must know that in the past 1983, TVB's most successful TV series are "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has formed a new round of Jin Yong's work fever, and Shaw Brothers Films also intends to take advantage of the general trend like DreamWorks. Hit a combination punch, but it didn't work.

Fang Yihua was annoyed, Wang Tianlin, who was in charge of supervising the production of the TV series "The Battle of Xuanwumen", recently called, and said angrily that the most important big scene of the fight scene may have to postpone the filming schedule, because yesterday many martial artists gathered together and had a vicious fight with their peers in DreamWorks, and all of them were colored.

"These guys who don't have enough to do and more than they can do." Fang Yihua slapped the table angrily, and the TV series "Decisive Battle of Xuanwumen" brought together Huang Rihua, Weng Meiling, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye, Jing Daiyin and other popular TVB Xiaosheng Huadan. She attaches great importance to it, but she didn't expect to be so unnecessarily delayed in the filming progress.

The martial arts profession is about forming gangs. If you are so unruly, you can directly blame the master.

Fang Yihua suppressed his anger, found Liu Jialiang, and asked him if he knew what his disciples and grandchildren were crazy about?

"I asked the reason, it was the incident provoked by DreamWorks, and the other party should have been prepared, our side has suffered a big loss, depending on the extent of the injury, don't think about starting work within a month."

Liu Jialiang replied depressedly, and at the same time secretly felt heartache, he, the ancestor master, went to visit those who cried and grabbed the ground, broke their muscles and bones, and was so embarrassed to be empty-handed, and now he has spent tens of thousands, which is simply inexplicably ruined.

"Don't think that when Xu Ke borrowed the Shaw Brothers set to shoot "Once Upon a Time", I don't know what the mess was going on." Fang Yihua sneered, "Since you don't understand the rules so much, it's just right, the company's current efficiency is not ordinarily poor, and the operation is difficult, so everyone will break up." ”

Once a woman gets angry, she can't be reasonable at all, not to mention that Liu Jialiang has long understood Fang Yihua's strict style in Shaw Brothers movies for more than ten years, he didn't want to touch the other party's anger, so he hurriedly found an excuse to retreat.

After walking out of TVB, Liu Jialiang asked Hui Yinghong, the apprentice who came forward, "Have you visited other senior brothers?" ”

Hui Yinghong nodded, "Everyone is worried, they can't save money on weekdays, but now they are injured and can't work, so I really don't know how to survive." ”

"Tell them not to panic, isn't it me?" Liu Jialiang said stubbornly.

At this juncture, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he must be on top, otherwise, the people's hearts will be scattered, and the prestige accumulated for more than ten years will go with the wind.

……

After Fang Yihua's anger subsided, he thought about it repeatedly, and found that he really couldn't let his temperament and open everyone up, after all, when filming martial arts TV series, martial artists are inseparable.

Moreover, according to Liu Jialiang, maybe the martial artists of DreamWorks are deliberately retaliating, and it is not all their own fault.

Thinking of this, Fang Yihua picked up the phone and contacted Hu Yinmeng, planning to probe the other party's tone, and it was best to ask for some compensation. As a result, the other party was not in the office at this time, and it is said that the person did not come to work at all today.

"This little girl is probably in love with adultery." Fang Yihua speculated maliciously.

……

"How long are you going to sleep?" Hu Yinmeng stretched out his hand and pushed Tang Huan beside him.

"Get another 24 hours of sleep." Tang Huan replied vaguely, "Don't tell me, these days are good days." ”

"These days are indeed good days, I deliberately calculated it." Hu Yinmeng laughed deliciously, "Are you okay?" ”

"Okay or not, just look at the action." Tang Huan stretched out his hand and grabbed the beauty. "It's not your turn anymore, you really have to hurry."

……

"The premiere of "God of Gamblers" in the evening, will you attend?" Hu Yinmeng, who was dressing up in the mirror, asked crisply.

"Just have you come forward." Tang Huan yawned, "I'm going to take the train to Yangcheng in the evening, and the Huo family asked me to taste the big hotel they invested in, which is said to be the first five-star hotel in the mainland." Think about it, it's pretty much the same, the few hotels I invested in. I can open next year. Even if it's fast. ”

"It's eating, drinking, and being merry again." Hu Yinmeng snorted. "I'll let Shainin go with you, so that she can watch you."

"You boss, how to arrange it." Tang Huan lazily pulled the quilt over his head and covered it.

……

At the premiere of the movie "God of Gamblers" at the Xinguang Cinema, the atmosphere was very warm.

Director Wang Jing's eyes narrowed into a slit with laughter, and there were all kinds of signs that he was going to produce a blockbuster from his own hands.

"I heard that in order to achieve the best results. The film was filmed in the United States and Japan, and the filming process must have been very hard," during the interactive session, reporters threw questions to Wang Jing.

"Although it was a little hard, it was worth it, and everyone worked hard and the filming process went very smoothly, so looking back now, I don't feel that it was hard." Wang Jing smiled and made a gesture towards Zhou Yanfa, who was dressed in a suit, "And I can stay with the God of Gamblers." You can also get some good luck, no. ”

"Ah Fa, the movie hasn't been released yet. Some people call you and Zhou Xingchi, a newcomer, bi-weekly, are you used to this kind of title? "The reporters began to besiege Zhou Yunfa again.

"I feel good." Zhou Yanfa glanced at Zhou Xingchi with a smile, "Although it is the first time for Xingzi to play such an important role, he still has talent and works hard, which makes this movie even more joyful." ”

……

After the completion of a series of cheering sessions, the movie "God of Gamblers" was officially released, and the first act was the world-famous gambling city of Las Vegas, where a series of splendid luxury hotels entered everyone's field of vision, and then the audience's eyes were brought into the crowded gambling arena.

Of course, these interior sets are extra, not real Las Vegas casinos.

After a close-up of the hand wearing the ring on the table, the camera cuts to an exaggerated computer surveillance room.

"This guy keeps winning money all the time."

"Push the angle of surveillance to the ring of that hand."

With the owner of this hand, turning the ring, the manager said in a deep voice: "It's him." ”

Immediately, the manager tapped on the computer's keyboard, and a graphic file of the man with the ring appeared on the screen.

"How is this picture just a backdrop?"

"He never takes pictures." The manager walked out of the monitoring room quickly, came to the gambling room, and found the gambler who had been winning.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Jin, I am the manager here, and you are very welcome to this casino. Our directors have just made a decision to change your bet from $50,000 to $1,000. ”

“cash。” Gao Jin, who nodded slightly, got up and left in a dashing manner after giving a command.

"Who is this man?" The sweaty dealer asked.

"God of Gamblers!" The manager looked in the direction of Gao Jin's departure and replied slowly. Immediately, the title of "God of Gamblers" jumped out.

……

In another theater, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao, the three brothers who are currently working closely together, are mixing in disguise with ordinary audiences, watching "God of Gamblers" with their own side's upcoming "Plan A".

Looking at the title, Yuan Biao couldn't help but admire, "It's amazing!" ”

After Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao glanced at each other, they didn't speak, and their eyes returned to the big screen.

Da Da ...... Da Da Da ...... With unforgettable music, the God of Gamblers Gao Jin appeared in Tokyo, Japan.

"If it's a tie, even if I lose." Before the gambling skills, Gao Jin said domineeringly.

When he saw Gao Jin in the movie say "I'm sorry, I was a little stronger just now", and then won by five points with the final score of breaking a dice, Cheng Long suddenly stood up and walked out of the theater.

"What's the matter, the location of the story has just shifted to Xiangjiang, and the movie has just begun." Yuan Biao muttered puzzled.

"Admire it yourself, I'll go see what's wrong with Aaron." After Hong Jinbao explained Yuan Biao's words, he got up and chased out.

"So impatient." Seeing Cheng Long standing next to the car smoking, Hong Jinbao also asked for one.

"After doing it for so many years, my eyesight has already been almost exercised, and the first few minutes are enough to show that this "God of Gamblers" will produce a classic screen image." Cheng Long raised his head and spit out a smoke ring, "In our line of work, if you want to get ahead, you must be different and the best in the world. ”

"Are you worried about our Plan A?" Hong Jinbao smiled, "Actually, it is no longer the two movies "God of Gamblers" and "Plan A" that are fighting in the ring, but DreamWorks Cinemas is trying to suppress Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas. We can't afford this kind of capital game, so there's no need to think too much, just feel like you've done your best. ”

"You have cooperated with Chen Xunqi of Yongjia Film Co., Ltd., didn't you hear the inside information of DreamWorks from him?" Cheng Long stepped on the cigarette butt and asked curiously.

"There are indeed some rumors, it is said that DreamWorks Cinemas wants to establish a larger-level cinema alliance in Xiangjiang, and Shaw Brothers Cinemas is the first to join, but Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas have been in business for so many years, and they are willing to condescend to others, and it is inevitable that they will fight first." Hong Jinbao told the news he had.

"Mr. Tang has such financial resources, maybe he can really do this." Cheng Long muttered to himself.

"Regardless of whether this goal can be achieved or not, one thing is certain, that is, the quality of movies is becoming more and more important, otherwise no theaters will pay attention to it." Hong Jinbao snapped his fingers, "In this way, our opportunity has come, and making movies is our brother's strength." ”

"That's just as well." Cheng Long nodded approvingly.

"And it's also an opportunity to start your own film production company." Hong Jinbao said meaningfully.

……

After the release of "God of Gamblers", the box office grew extremely rapidly, and there was a momentum of last year's "Fang Shiyu", adding a movie with a box office of more than 30 million this year.

The most exaggerated thing is that the God of Gamblers ring, the God of Gamblers eyes, the God of Gamblers windbreaker, the God of Gamblers poker...... Even the big brother used by the God of Gamblers, and the chocolates and pastries he ate brought a very new vitality to the Xiangjiang Market at Christmas.

Golden Harvest launched "Plan A" as scheduled, although Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao performed together, but it was still inferior to Zhou Yanfa's "God of Gamblers".

"It's putting pressure on our theaters." He Guanchang said with a frown.

"These blockbuster movies from DreamWorks are nothing more than novelty." Zou Wenhuai snorted, "We have made progress in the European market, and I plan to increase the workload for Aaron and make a few more films with new elements of European style next year." ”

"Then it's time to consider Aaron's willingness to set up his own film production company." He Guanchang muttered and suggested, "Actually, it's okay, for his own interests, Ah Long will work harder." ”

"It's all Hong Jinbao, a restless guy, who has a good lead!" After Zou Wenhuai was annoyed, he had no choice but to agree to He Guanchang's request. (To be continued.) )
