In the middle of the night, Wang Jing's body really couldn't support it, his eyes were not black, and when he saw a burst of golden starlight flickering, he held his head with his hand and shook his head vigorously. Although, as soon as I thought that ending the production of "Ocean's Eleven" early would buy more filming time for "The Gambler", the spirit came; But this spirit could not resist the excessive tiredness after all, like a bubble in the sea, just got up, and then disappeared again.

He hung his head, snored, and woke up in surprise. Naturally, then the head scurried forward, slowly lowering it.

Early the next morning, Wang Jing was woken up by the alarm clock that had been set, and when he saw the time, he quickly got up and wiped his face with cold water, and hurriedly went to the set.

The filming of the film has ended in the Macau casino, but the crew members, including many cast and crew, miss that filming experience, and they can relax in the casino after filming.

The Lisboa Casino used to be an important filming location for the film, but according to the agreement, the casino was only open to the film crew from midnight to 6 a.m., and the casino scenes in "11 Arhats" accounted for a large proportion, and the harsh restrictions once made Wang Jing worried. But fortunately, the casino is very cooperative, and even opened a high-end gambling room for the filming of the film. Of course, this is thanks to the energetic producer Lin Youlun, who successfully persuaded Macau gambling king Stanley Ho to facilitate the filming of the film.

However, even so, many of the filming plans originally listed by the crew were still denied by the casino staff, and Wang Jing had to find the casino to be responsible for entering and ask for special approval. The crew shut down an entire area of the casino for filming, and in exchange, the whole film looked like an advertisement for the Lisboa Casino and the Macau gambling industry.

Thanks to the storyboard script provided by Lin Youlun, the crew made rapid progress in filming at the Lisboa Casino, and it only took a week to complete the framing of all the shots, and then the crew transferred back to the studio in Hong Kong, where a planned casino vault has been built, and the rest of the scenes will be filmed here.

Wang Jing rushed to the set early in the morning, but met a group of reporters at the door, and the group of guys surrounded him as soon as he got out of the car.

The reporters' gossip questions made Wang Jing have a headache when he heard it, and he had to press his hands and signal them to say one by one.

"Director Wang, I heard that "Ocean's Eleven" is a remake?" One of the reporters was the first to speak.

Wang Jing was stunned, he didn't expect the news to be turned out, of course, this is not a topic that needs to be hidden, Lin Youlun has obtained the authorization of the American copyright owner before changing this movie. "You're right, this film is indeed a remake, the original version was from the United States in the 60s, starring a group of singers who were active in the American music scene at the time. But the film smashed the pot, so we want to adapt it. ”

"Why is this movie?" The reporters around were busy writing down what Wang Jing said in their notebooks, and it was the reporter who rushed to ask just now.

"If the original is a classic, why is there a need for a remake? Isn't it an egg hitting a stone? Only those old films with good intentions but not handled well are suitable for remakes. Wang Jing shrugged his shoulders and continued: "The plot of the new film has changed a lot, many high-tech elements have been added, the lines have also been adapted, and the cast of the film is very luxurious, and there is no film in Hong Kong that can do this at present." It can be said that this entertainment film is already close to perfection and can satisfy everything the audience wants. ”

"With so many celebrities invited, is the budget of the film affordable?" A reporter couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jingha smiled, "You should ask Zhou Yunfa this question, because this movie was invested and filmed by his company, I can only say that the shooting cost of this movie is not as high as the outside world speculates." ”

The media has been speculating about how much "Ocean's Eleven" paid for the all-star lineup, and the most credible theory is that Zhou Yan lowered his salary, and then persuaded other actors to do the same, and Wang Jing is not ready to tell reporters that all actors have exchanged their salaries for box office dividends, including the remuneration for directing this movie, which is also included in the box office dividends in proportion.

"There really aren't any violent shootouts in this film?" Finally, a reporter changed the subject.

"There will be one or two explosions, but the explosions are only created to attract and divert the attention of the opponent, not to kill!"

Wang Jing's explanation confirmed what Lin Youlun said at the beginning, this is a very "gentle" movie, which can't help but make people wonder, is the film really as wonderful as he said?

It's a pity that Wang Jing didn't want to talk more about this, so the reporter had to change the question: "Can Director Wang evaluate Mr. Lin's performance as an actor?" ”

"In and out of the play, there is no more suitable for this role than him, in the play, only he can bring together 11 masters in various fields; And outside the play, he also came forward to bring so many stars together, and his role in this movie is indispensable. Wang Jing bypassed the evaluation of Lin Youlun's acting skills, because this aspect of the remarks is the most likely to cause controversy. To put it bluntly, the movie "Ocean's Eleven" is 11 guys playing cool in it, and there are really not many places where acting skills are really needed, otherwise it would be impossible for this film to shoot most of it in just half a month.

"Ni Yu said in his column that this movie is playing tricks, do you want to refute him?" A reporter asked.

Wang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry I don't have much time to read the newspaper during this time, and I'm not interested in what Ni Yu said." Whether the film is wonderful or not, Ni Yu said it doesn't count, of course I say it doesn't count, only the audience says it, so there is no point in discussing this now. To evaluate this movie, at least you have to watch the whole film for yourself, and I don't think anything can be more convincing than the facts. Of course, in order not to spoil everyone's interest, it is inconvenient for me to reveal more plots here. In fact, I don't need to say it, everyone can guess the direction of the storyline, and the robbers who are the protagonists will definitely succeed, so the fun of watching this movie is all in the suspense of one ring after another. ”

Wang Jing told reporters at the end of the interview that the film will soon be available to the audience, in fact, it only took him 23 years to shoot and edit the entire film, and then it took another week to send the telegram to the inspection office to review the rating.

When the film was finally confirmed to be released as "Class II.A", there was no doubt about what Lin Youlun and Wang Jing said, and the audience became more and more curious, and they flocked to the cinema on the first day of the film's release, wanting to see it.

Among them, Ni Yu also came to "spy on the enemy".

In order to prevent the ins from discovering his whereabouts, Ni Yu certainly couldn't swagger to the theater where the movie premiere was held. The leading actors of the film are all present, plus the star Yi Jin who went to the scene, the eyes of the whole Hong Kong media are firmly focused there, Ni Yu will naturally not be stupid enough to hit the muzzle of the gun, he chose an inconspicuous movie theater, and there will definitely be no entry here to recognize him.

The subtitles of the film are interspersed in the opening plot, the audience focused on the big screen at the beginning, Lin Youlun in prison uniform was taken to the interrogation room, from a very short conversation, the audience learned that he was a very powerful thief, the police suspected that there were many cases related to him, but there was no evidence, and the one who really convicted him and put him in prison was depressed because he was dumped by his wife, and deliberately left a flaw in a theft case, so that the police could arrest him.

Because of his good behavior in prison, he was granted a one-month parole, and the police officer asked him if he would commit another crime after he went out, and he humorously said that he had been dumped by his wife once, and the other party should not be bored enough to dump him again, and the pun answer amused many viewers.

Ni Yu is one of the few viewers who didn't laugh, as an insider, he was keenly aware that the other party's lines in the film were cleverly designed, which was not a good sign for him, if the whole movie could maintain such a level, then it was Lin Youlun who laughed the most and entered the 1st day.

Thinking of this, Ni Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration, he had been waiting for Lin Youlun to make a mistake, but this guy is like the male protagonist in the film, he won't show any flaws at all, if he suddenly catches his mistake sometimes, unfortunately, this is likely to be done on purpose by the other party, and he has designed a trap and is waiting for him to jump inside.

By the time Ni Yu regained his mind and refocused his attention on the screen, Lin Youlun had already changed his outfit and appeared alone in a casino.

Some of the audience who have been to Macau casinos entered, and soon recognized that this is the most famous Lisboa casino in Macau, Lin Youlun exchanged chips to go to the gambling table, at this time, Liang Jiahui, dressed as a dealer, appeared.

Dare to use an actor who has been banned by Taiwan to film, Lin Youlun is so arrogant that he is ready to give up the Taiwan market directly?

Such a thought only flashed in Ni Yu's mind, and he immediately denied this idea, Lin Youlun could not directly violent such a simple weakness. If it is exposed, the only possibility is that Taiwan has unblocked Liang Jiahui.

Lin Youlun and Liang Jiahui connected in a few words, and the two sides agreed to meet in a bar in code, and from Liang Jiahui's mouth, Lin Youlun learned that Zhou Yunfa was teaching celebrities to play cards in a nightclub in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong audiences still remember the image of Zhou Runfa as the "God of Gamblers", and it is easy to accept his role in this film.

Seeing this, Ni Yu already had an urge to leave, and he knew that as long as he didn't make big mistakes later in the film, the possibility of box office failure was very small.
