Gu Weiqi led the director Liu Zhenwei, starring Zhou Yunfa, Liu Dehua, Zhihui Meiyuezi, and Li Lizhen and Guan Xiumei, who played "Ah Zhen" and Gao Jin's girlfriend, originally planned to let the two of them play the two roles of "Qi Meng" and "A Ping" in "The Saint of Gambling". But now that the "Gambling Saint" storyboard has not been made, filming has not started for the time being, so let the two of them make cameo roles in this film.

In addition, He Jinjin, Xu Jinjiang and others came to the set to worship God and started the film, and began to accept photos and interviews from reporters.

A reporter from Oriental Daily first asked a sharp question: "Mr. Gu, Zhou Runfa is a famous box office poison, are you not afraid of losing money if you choose Zhou Runfa to star in this new film with a big investment?" ”

Zhou Yanfa's face darkened, and he said in his heart that this is not the pot that can't be mentioned?

Gu Weiqi gave him a slightly calm expression, squinted his eyes and stared at the reporter with a smile: "Of course, I'm not worried at all." Because I believe that after filming this film, Fa Tsai will definitely be able to take off the hat of 'box office poison', and even become a box office elixir. ”

"Oh." The reporter followed up and asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"Because I wrote the film. In fact, the reason why Fa Tsai was not popular in the past was entirely because he didn't meet a good script, but now it's different. ”

Gu Weiqi said proudly: "Because he met me Gu Weiqi, I believe that this tailor-made film for him can not only make others popular, but also make the drama popular." Friends from the media may not believe it, so let's speak with facts! ”

At this time, a record of "Giant Daily" asked in a timely manner: "Fa Zai, Gu Shao is so optimistic about you, do you have the confidence to act in this drama well?" ”

This question is still easier for Zhou Yanfa to answer, because he replied loudly with a confident smile: "I am confident, in order to play this play well, I have been thinking about this role for many days, and I believe that I will not disappoint Mr. Gu!" ”

Then the reporters scrambled to ask a series of questions, and after the crew and directors answered, the reporters took some stills, ate a little tribute and left, and then the film officially started filming.

However, it was not filmed in the order of the beginning of the script, but jumped to directly shoot the scene where Zhou Yunfa, who has amnesia, was pulled by Liu Dehua to cheat Chen Kuian's money. As for the San Francisco at the beginning and the two scenes in which Mr. Kamiyama helped Mr. Kamiyama and "Kikuko" to fight against gambling skills, it was enough to go back to the United States and make up the film.

I have to say that Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are really good, and he looked like a mentally handicapped child in the camera, but when he opened the hole cards, his eyes suddenly became sharp. The mentally handicapped look and sharp eyes actually appeared on the same face, which really gave people too much contrast, but because of this, it showed superb acting skills.

Gu Weiqi, Liu Zhenwei, and even the members of the crew who were present secretly praised Zhou Yunfa for his acting skills. In fact, Fa Zai's acting skills are already good, and he has been carefully figuring out the script and characters during this time, and he has done a lot of homework, and now the filming is surprisingly smooth.

In comparison, Liu Dehua's acting skills are much worse. However, Chen Kuian was born with a villain portrait and played the role of "Ninth Brother" vividly. In the next few days of shooting, Li Lizhen, Guan Xiumei, He Jinjin and Xu Jinjiang and others also performed remarkably. As for Gu Weiqi's cameo role in "Dragon Five", there is nothing to say, his role is almost once.

And while filming was tense here, Huang Bingyao told Gu Weiqi that the storyboard script for the drama "Gambling Saint" had been made. So he took the time to discuss with Lin Zhenying, Chen Xunqi and Yang Xuanpan, and finally unanimously decided to let Yuan Hao serve as the director of this play. After all, now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, it is also very necessary to train more directors. However, in order to ensure the quality of the film, Chen Xunqi was asked to serve as the producer himself.

As for the actors, the actor Zuo Songxing played the starring role, and the two roles of "Qimeng" and "Ah Ping" were originally scheduled to be played by Li Lizhen and Guan Xiumei. However, now that the two are filming "God of Gamblers", they can't spare time at all, so they decided to let Wei Hagihua and Rong Huiwen star.

The remaining roles such as "Third Uncle", "Hong Guang", "Selling Fish Sheng" and "Chen Song" are respectively made cameos by Qin Wei, Zengjiang, Wu Yaohan and Feng Qufan, who are now all signed artists of "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency", coordinated by Zhao Yuzhi in the middle, and there is no problem with the schedule, so that even if the main actors are decided, they can start filming on a certain day after they find a good shooting venue.

At the same time, Wang Jiawei's "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", which he had been tinkering with for more than half a year, was finally released in Tang Dynasty theaters. March is not a good schedule, and at the same time, the Golden Princess was released as "Reborn Man" starring Lin Zixiang and Zhang Tianxi; Shao's release is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Fu Sheng; The "Legend of the Sparrow Fighting Heroes" released by Jiahe is invested by "Dark Horse International" and directed by Wang Jing, which is basically a low-budget film.

However, relatively speaking, whether it is "Reborn Man", or "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", or "The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes", the production is a little rougher than the "Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" directed by Wang Jiawei. After all, "Ink King" has been inking for more than half a year to get this film out, and in terms of the quality of the film, the several films released at the same time can't catch up.

Therefore, don't look at it as a horror movie, it was well received as soon as it was released. But the attendance rate was not very high at first, and it took a week to get a box office of 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, this schedule is not a good schedule, and pure serious horror films have a small audience in Xiangjiang. However, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth and a strong publicity offensive, the attendance rate has increased significantly.

As for the leftist Yindu Cinema Line, it has also been a good scenery since the release of "Shaolin Temple" last month. However, after the painting was completed, it is now released at the same time as "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", which is produced by Modu Film Factory, directed by Wu Yigong, and co-starring Shen Jie, Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Min.

However, Gu Weiqi didn't ask much, after all, the investment of the "old corpse in the mountain village" was not large. Now he is keeping an eye on the filming of "God of Gamblers" every day, after all, this film is the highlight of Donglai Company this year. After filming for nearly a month, after the filming of Xiangjiang's scene, he personally led the crew to fly to Yuben on a chartered flight to shoot the wonderful scene of Gao Jin and Juzi's table duel.

By this time, it had entered April 1982, and on April 2, Argentina sent troops to attack the Malvinas Islands, which the British Commonwealth called the Falkland Islands. Argentina mobilized more than 4,000 troops from the army, navy and air force to occupy Port Stanley, the capital of the Falklands, and the war broke out.

In peacetime, such a big war broke out, and it shocked the whole world at once. The stock market, which has been quiet in the British Commonwealth, has triggered a series of shocks due to the outbreak of the war, and many stock futures have fallen sharply.

For the Commonwealth, it was the first invasion since the end of World War II. Argentina has claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands for more than 100 years and has been at odds with the United Kingdom.

On April 2, the British Commonwealth held three emergency cabinet meetings, announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Argentina, and sent a large task force to the Falklands on April 5. Argentina also established the South Atlantic Special Theater Command, and the two sides fought fiercely.

On the 7th, Argentina announced to the world that the Malvinas Islands are the 24th province of Argentina.

However, on April 25, the British captured South Georgia and began a siege.

On 1 May, the British sank the Argentine cruiser "General Belgrano", causing heavy casualties on the Argentine side.

On 13 June, British ground forces, with the support of the Navy and Air Force, launched a large-scale attack on Port Stanley in three directions.

It was not until the 14th that the Afghan army surrendered, and the war, which lasted more than two months, finally ended. However, the dispute between the two countries over the real rights of the Falklands, the question of the ownership of the Falklands, remains unresolved. However, none of this is about Gu Weiqi, the important thing is that before the outbreak of this war, he had already mobilized hundreds of millions of dollars early to let Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi secretly enter the British Commonwealth stock market.

According to Gu Weiqi's instructions, Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi first bought and fell many stocks and futures in the British stock market, and then bought and rose when the war was about to end, and they fell and rose, making nearly $1 billion in just over two months.

To be honest, when Gu Weiqi first told the two about this war, the two didn't quite believe it, after all, it was peacetime. It wasn't until the real war between Argentina and Britain broke out that the two of them were truly shocked - they were able to get such information, and how much intelligence force could get such information.

At this point, the two of them became more and more unfathomable about Gu Weiqi's energy. And this also invisibly strengthened their belief in following in the footsteps of Boss Gu. Since then, the two have disobeyed Gu Weiqi's orders, and have entered the stock market many times under Gu Weiqi's instructions in advance, earning endless wealth and making great achievements for Gu Weiqi's future financial empire!

And Gu Weiqi's assets, after Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi's operation in the British stock market, exceeded 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, reaching 45 billion Hong Kong dollars. Among them, the liquidity, in particular, is as high as nearly 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, according to Gu Weiqi's instructions, the two did not exchange the US dollar for Hong Kong dollars, because Gu Weiqi knew that in the future, the Hong Kong dollar would depreciate seriously, and now holding on to the US dollar will not shrink their wealth.

On May 8, 1982, Gu Weiqi, who led the crew members of "God of Gamblers" to shoot in Yueben and Las Vegas, USA, returned to Xiangjiang on a chartered flight on the day of the announcement.

On the same day, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose stepped down and returned to his hometown in the British Commonwealth, and many bigwigs from the industrial and commercial and political circles of Hong Kong went to see him off, officially announcing the end of the "MacLehose era" in Hong Kong.

MacLehose is widely regarded as the most prominent and beloved Governor of Hong Kong in the history of Hong Kong. During his tenure, measures such as the low-rent housing scheme, nine-year compulsory education, the development of new towns, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the construction of subways, local administrative reforms, and social welfare reforms were implemented one by one, all of which contributed greatly to the prosperity and development of Hong Kong and the improvement of the lives of ordinary citizens.

Major media have reviewed MacLehose's achievements during his administration, but the new Hong Kong Governor Youde has been neglected, and ordinary citizens do not care at all. Of course, Gu Weiqi didn't care even more, and after coming back to invite the members of the crew to eat the "God of Gamblers" finale banquet, he brought Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi over and discussed it secretly.

The main issue of the negotiation was to ask them to convert all Hong Kong dollars into US dollars, and borrow Hong Kong dollars from other banks as much as possible, convert them into US dollars, and repay them in Hong Kong dollars when they repay the loan in the future. The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is 4.6:1 now, and it will reach 11:1 for a while in the future.

However, now Yanlong Development Bank is developing very well, and even the major companies under Gu Weiqi's name are developing very well. It is relatively easy for Yan Qiudi and Luo Jianan to come forward and borrow money from the major companies under Gu Weiqi's name. I believe that borrowing three or five billion should not be a problem.

In fact, in just one week, he borrowed more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, far beyond Gu Weiqi's expectations. And the two are still working hard to borrow.
