On the afternoon of the day when Li Jiaxin's family of three moved to Gu's house, Gu Weiqi bought a lot of ingredients accompanied by Chen Yulian and Zhao Yuzhi. That night, Li's mother made a large table of good dishes, and I have to say that Li's mother's cooking skills are still quite good. After eating a meal, Gu Weiqi was full of praise.

For Gu Weiqi suddenly finding such a beautiful "chef", Chen Yulian and Zhao Yuzhi were still not very happy to be honest. Especially this beautiful chef lady also has two beautiful and cute little Lori, who knows what kind of heart Gu Weiqi has in this guy. However, after hearing what happened to the Li family, the two didn't say anything.

That night, the two little Loli lived in a large and comfortable bedroom, and they were very happy. Mother Li was also very happy in her heart, but she found that sometimes Boss Gu's eyes were hot and compelling, which made her a little uneasy while secretly happy. But no matter what, there is finally a place to settle down, and no matter what, it is better than the rooftop tin shed.

On June 5, 1982, after several days of rain, the weather finally cleared. "Eight Star Annunciation" and other crews have started filming again, and the "God of Gamblers", which has been produced in the later stage, has also launched advertising. All kinds of TV, newspapers, walls, car bodies and other advertisements bombarded like a virus.

On June 6, the authorities in Taiwan did not know where they got the news that Gu Weiqi and the mainland had co-produced movies and TV series, and in one fell swoop blocked the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" and the "Phoenix Television Company", announcing that in the future, the films and television produced by these two companies would not be screened and broadcast in Taiwan.

This move caused an uproar in the Xiangjiang media, but Gu Weiqi, who had been psychologically prepared earlier, did not care. However, this has invisibly caused a lot of talent loss in film and television companies. But Gu Weiqi remained silent, but he sneered in his heart, fortunately he had made careful arrangements in advance, otherwise the loss would have been great this time.

However, even so, the loss caused by the loss of talent is irreparable for a while. But he secretly made up his mind that sooner or later he would take revenge on this "one-arrow revenge", not to mention anything else, just say that as long as he sets up the situation in advance at that time, he will be able to recover this loss together with the principal and interest. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

At this time, the annual film event "Golden Horse Awards" kicked off. But there is no doubt that as a newly rising company that made nearly 20 blockbuster films last year, "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" did not even receive the nomination because it was blocked.

And it was also at this time that Phoenix TV brought the annual "Myth and Legend Singing Contest". However, Gu Weiqi didn't worry about it, because the drafts of "China Entertainment Daily" and "Xinqi International Comics Club" were almost finished. So he buried himself in writing novels and plagiarizing comics at home. It took two months of working at home to come up with ten novels and comic outlines.

Novels include "Sky Swallowing Overlord", "Mecha Warrior", "Star Age", "Star Heroes", etc., while manga includes "Crayon Shin-chan", "Cherry Maruko", "Sky Wars", and "Sailor Moon", among others. In addition, he also drummed up six classic movie novels "Pretty Woman", "Days on the Clouds", "Postman", "The English Patient", "Edward Scissorhands" and "Killer Leon", which were collected into a collection of "Zachary Gu" novels, which were sent to Cindy in the United States.

At this time, the time has come to August, and the "God of Gamblers", which has been promoted for more than a month, has already been released for half a month during the summer vacation of students. At that time, Princess Jin released the horror film "Night Terror" starring Zhang Aijia, Eddie, Zheng Zeshi and Ren Dahua, Jiahe released the "Dragon Ninja" produced by "Siyuan Pictures", and Shao's released the "New Biography of Huang Feihong" directed by Liu Weiliang and starring Liu Jiahui, Liu Jiarong and Fu Sheng.

Relatively speaking, none of these films have much competitiveness. "Night Terror" is a horror film, needless to say that the audience of Xiangjiang's original horror films is relatively small. As for "Dragon Ninja" is a small production film, "The New Biography of Wong Fei Hung" is obviously a typical film that follows the trend of "Wong Fei Hung: Top Gun", which is still a little interesting, but unfortunately it has not imitated the essence, and the stamina is obviously insufficient.

However, the "God of Gamblers" was in the limelight, and in just half a month after its release, it got a box office of 18 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that not only is this movie very popular when it is released, but even Zhou Yunfa is also a real popular, which can be regarded as completely taking off the embarrassing hat of not being popular in the popular drama.

Gu Weiqi heard that the release was very popular, and after finishing the novels and comics, he took his hat and sunglasses with great interest and walked to the door of his Mong Kok cinema. But some people are like fireflies in the night sky, even if they are low-key, but they are still instantly recognizable in the crowd - there is no doubt that he is such a person.

When he just walked to the door of the theater, he was stopped by a reporter from Ming Pao, who said: "Mr. Gu, hello, I am Jiang Ping, an intern reporter of Ming Pao, I want to delay you for a while, can I give you an interview?" ”

"Isn't it?" Gu Weiqi took off his glasses and smiled bitterly: "So you can recognize me too powerful, I don't know what you want to interview me?" ”

"Hehe~" The reporter smiled proudly: "I want to ask you, why did you shoot such a gambling film?" ”

"I pitched this film for commercial reasons." Gu Weiqi groaned: "Of course, it is not advocating everyone to gamble. It is the so-called small gambling pleasure, big gambling loser. In fact, after reading it, please tell the audience that you must not indulge in gambling because of this, otherwise my sin will be great! ”

"Okay, I'll help you tell the audience, I can't see that Mr. Gu is still quite socially responsible. So how much do you think the film will end up at the box office? ”

"Of course, the more the merrier."

The two of them just asked and answered, and Jiang Ping asked more than a dozen questions before finally letting go of Gu Weiqi.

Gu Weiqi bought a ticket and walked into the theater. To be honest, although this film was directed by him himself, he has not seen the real finished film, mainly because he is busy with various trivial matters after the movie is completed. Even at the premiere, I didn't attend the premiere because I was busy working on novels and comics.

When Gu Weiqi walked into the theater, he saw that the theater was already full of people, and it happened that a new one had begun. With the end of the opening of "Donglai Company", the film officially began, and the opening scene is the San Francisco casino in the United States, through the mouth of the dragon set, the role played by Zhou Yunfa was introduced from the computer file - the God of Gamblers Gao Jin!

Then it was Mr. Kamiyama played by Yasuaki Cangtian who asked for help, and Gao Jin won back the lost money for his friend, making the audience feel that this gambling god is a good person with great affection and sex - in fact, just after the premiere, "Film Fortnightly" made a long film review, saying that this film is the pinnacle of changing the vane of gambling films!

In fact, before this, many people had made gambling films, such as Fengyue director Li Hanxiang, the current "King of Comedy" Xu Guanwen, and even the commercial director Wang Jing. However, in the previous gambling films, although there are many gamblers with excellent gambling skills in the protagonists, the perception and intention have not jumped out of people's secular understanding of gamblers.

For example, in the gambling films of Li Hanxiang and Xu Guanwen, there is a great irony of gamblers, and at the same time conveys the connotation of big gambling losers. Even if the wireless ratings were super high in the first two years, the ending of "A Thousand Kings of the North and South" was also a blind eye and a broken hand, which is not a moral that gambling has no good end.

The biggest difference between the "God of Gamblers" and previous gambling films is first of all in terms of concept, the protagonist is full of humanity and chivalrous spirit, especially he is not only omnipotent at the gambling table, but also smart and wise, and can play with guns. Such a person can no longer be regarded as a human being, but directly "deify" the gambler who has always been despised by others.

Especially the plot of arranging the amnesia of the God of Gamblers, whose IQ is only equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child, is like a stroke of genius. And the drama and contradictions of the movie are also born from this, a retarded person who doesn't understand anything, but sometimes has a different kind of smart mind. He can even deliberately put the change in his pocket for the knife boy and his little brother to steal, and after fooling two adults with normal intelligence, one of them hides in the bed like a child and snickers.

And this is just the beginning, when the knife boy went in to deceive the ruffian with the amnesia, the childlike innocence and stupidity of the amnesia and the domineering temperament of the gambling god are diametrically opposed, but they complement each other, which is really breathtaking, and at the same time, it also brings a small high dynasty to the movie. After that, the plot was even more twists and turns, ** repeatedly, which made the audience addicted.

What's even more bizarre is that the God of Gambling is in full swing, and a gambling trend suddenly blows in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang.

You must know that gambling is already popular in Hong Kong. Not only playing mahjong and playing cards, but also betting on horses and six boxes of lottery are also very popular. After this movie came out, it directly detonated the gambling enthusiasm of the citizens, causing neighbors to gather for gambling and disputes from time to time.

Not only that, but even the passenger flow of the Aomen Casino, which is competing with Xiangjiang, has greatly increased. He Hongsheng, the gambling king of Aomen, was very happy, and many gamblers are always used to wearing extraordinary rings and eating chocolate when gambling, in order to crisscross the casino and kill all sides like Gao Jin in the "God of Gamblers".

This made Gu Weiqi really cry and laugh, but the "Tang Dynasty International Jewelry Store" and "Tang Dynasty Chocolate" stores under his name were very popular during this time. The latter originally acquired a small company with no name, but with the release of the movie, it became famous in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as adding another source of wealth for Gu Weiqi.

And on August 24, 1982, when "God of Gamblers" was still in theaters, news came out at No. 10 Downing Street that "Iron Lady" was about to embark on a trip to the Far East. The first stop was Yuben, followed by Huaxia, then to Laixiangjiang, and finally to India on the way home.

At this time, the Iron Lady was in full swing, and the tough moves of the South American countries against the British Commonwealth were directly extinguished by her stronger hands, and the opponents who were still tough before were forced to sign a contract, and a colony was directly divided into territory. Approval for the country has reached an all-time high.

In the past few months, the British Commonwealth has become the focus of global attention after defeating the invading Argentina with a thunderous victory, and the British Commonwealth has been in the limelight in this world-famous territorial dispute. The empire, known as "the sun never sets", seems to have regained some of its former glory.

Although she visited four countries this time, everyone knew what the "Iron Lady" was aiming for this time. If another colony were to be taken over as well, the "Iron Lady" would undoubtedly reach the highest level of prestige like her predecessor Churchill. But is it possible?

From 1,407 points in May to No. 10 Downing Street, after the news of the "Iron Lady" coming to China, the stock market fell to 1,147 points because of the "uncertain future" of the negotiations with the Huaxia political axe on the Xiangjiang issue. It was even lower on August 26 at 937. As a direct consequence of the stock market decline, the low prices of Hong Kong, which had been rising continuously, fell sharply. While many real estate companies are still issuing optimistic estimates, in fact, the real estate industry in Hong Kong has already begun to collapse.

The real estate collapse first triggered the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, which had previously maintained the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar at 1:4.6. But with the decline of the stock market and the collapse of real estate, it suddenly became more than 1:7 yuan. There are even rumors that the Hong Kong dollar will turn into water and will continue to fall to $1 to $20.
