Chapter 296 "The Saint of Gambling" was born

"In short, I can't evaluate a lot of your ideas......" Liu Weiqiang did not approve of Lu Yan's words, but he did not deny it. Whether European and American films have an impact on the Hong Kong film market, he now knows whether it is. But in the future, he didn't know that many of Lu Yan's strategic goals were very far-sighted.

At least the current Dongcheng Reflection has undergone a gorgeous transformation in just one year. became one of the three giants of the Hong Kong film market, but he never imagined it.

Therefore, for Lu Yan's words, he is more thinking and analyzing.

In any case, it is absolutely no problem for Lu Yan to be able to start from the perspective of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Moreover, in fact, he and Wang Jing and others have the same idea. That is, today's Hong Kong movies, there are indeed a lot of problems.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

But no matter how much reporters hype up this issue, even "Film Fortnightly" has been involved. Then with some reports, the images of Xinyicheng and Dongcheng were suddenly mixed together. And Jiahe, as a bystander, also jumped directly into the circle to make a fuss.

He Guanchang and others felt that Lu Yan was a bit crazy. And Sammo Hung, who is quite close to Lu Yan, tactfully expressed their support, not to mention that Sammo Hung is still one of the shareholders of Dongcheng Image.

At the beginning, many reporters and viewers were looking forward to Lu Yan's ghost being able to cooperate with Sammo Hung .

However, such news has never come out. Even Lu Yan and Sammo Hung themselves do not have many opportunities to officially meet.

It's not just Golden Harvest that has an inconsistent caliber, but it's not just the New Art City, which has been in civil strife for a long time. Tsui Hark was originally a member of the new (wave) tide, and he naturally took a very high opinion of Lu Yan, the 'apprentice'. As for Mai Jia, they have long had a grudge against Lu Yan.

Suddenly, an incident about Lu Yan's criticism of the status quo of Hong Kong films suddenly caused the two major companies of Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest to be reborn one after another

But in fact, whether it is New Art City or Golden Harvest. Obviously, there is no company that has a contradiction because of Lu Yan's topic. In everyone's opinion, such a topic is not the opinion of the benevolent, the wise of the wise, you say that the current situation of Hong Kong films is not good? But the total box office every year is rising rapidly.

But if you say that the current situation of Hong Kong films is good? That's impossible, indeed, as Lu Yan said, the habit of following the trend has really hurt a lot of movies and the audience's interest in many movies. Shoddy bad films, not to mention.

The reason why some old filmmakers jumped out is mainly because media reporters distorted Lu Yan's original words very seriously. So in their opinion, Lu Yan, this kid, is completely open-mouthed after he started to become popular.

It's just that Lu Yan no longer makes any comments on this matter, but everyone can find out. Although he no longer stood up to speak, the pro-Lu faction and the anti-Lu faction had taken a clear stand. Of course, neither the pro-Lu faction nor the anti-Lu faction are aimed at Lu Yan personally. It's that remark, which is related to the fate of Hong Kong's film landscape.

Lu Yan was like a fuse, but after igniting the explosives, he started to play retreat.

However, after the frying pan of some remarks, it was followed by the premiere of Dongcheng Imaging's new work. From the point of view of time, Lu Yan's words are even considered to be creating a topic for the release of "The Saint of Gambling".

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

When "Mong Kok Carmen" was released, many reporters began to inquire about the release time of "The Saint of Gambling". It's just that on this matter, Dongcheng Image didn't make any reply. In addition, it was Lu Yan's remarks on the current situation of Hong Kong films. So the attention was already turned away at that time.

But the beacon road turned, and it happened to appear when this topic event rose to the most ** - "The Saint of Gambling", which will be released soon

When the reporters received the notice, they could not laugh or cry. Lu Yan threw out the topic, and they ran around for interviews. successfully created this topic, and even "Film Fortnightly" was involved and cheered for Lu Yan. But he was good, so he didn't accept the interview directly

Okay, it's okay if you don't give interviews. You've already said it anyway, and now everyone else is starting to fight because of differences in topic.

The wind came, and so did the rain. Topical news naturally makes the sales of many newspapers and magazines sell very well.

But this is good, when everyone continues to add fuel and vinegar to this news. "The Saint of Gambling", released?

Complaining is complaining, they still get the exact news as soon as possible and then get busy.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"I said that Yan Zai was deliberately trying to play us to death."

"I was already on my way to the interview, and I was notified at short notice...... That's when I ran again."

"Who isn't, this time I heard the editor-in-chief say that it was the time of Dongcheng Imaging Company that was deviated......"

"Who believes it? It's clear that we're fixing up."

"Then what can you do, or do you go back?"

…………………………………

The reporters present joked with each other. Although they said so, they were all for work, Lu Yan's news, and it is estimated that as long as they learned about it, they would give up if there were no reporters.

What's more, after the explosive topic, Lu Yan never appeared. In this case, you will not be absent from the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling" this time

Since this is the case, then it is inevitable that you will have to open your mouth at that time. With such topical news, reporters can hope to hype it up in depth. You must know that more and more filmmakers have been involved, and even "Film Fortnightly" has started a battle with some newspapers and magazines......

And most of the audiences who are already waiting are loyal fans of "God of Gamblers".

A gambling film suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity about thousands of techniques and gambling skills. Especially the Lisboa Casino, because of the "God of Gamblers", its fame in Southeast Asia began to become more and more loud.

This time the gambling film is reproduced, and everyone naturally comes with great confidence. Although, all of them are rookie lineups. However, the rookie director, Wong Kar-wai has already made a good example. As for the script, it was written by Lu Yan himself...... There are many selling points that make them not wonderful.

"What will happen to you guys about this "Gambling Saint"?"

"I think the movie made by Dongcheng Imaging should be fine, right? And this "Saint of Gambling", like "God of Gamblers", is a script written by Lu Yan"

"I think it's hard to say, that Stephen Chow...... Looking at his appearance as a gambling saint, no matter how you think about it, you don't feel like a gambling god."

"Well, I'm worried."

"Compared to "God of Gamblers", the cast is too bad"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Journalists are waiting excitedly, and viewers are anxiously waiting. The ideas of the two naturally caused their gap.

These reporters don't care whether this "Saint of Gambling" is good or bad, whether it is produced by Dongcheng Imaging is normal, it is very good. But if it becomes a bad movie, they will release it with multiple news and gimmicks

But the audience is different, they naturally hope to see another movie that is at least comparable to "God of Gamblers".

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"That's it, it's ......"

…………………………………

The people who urge like this are not only the audience, but also the journalists.

Will today's cast be strong? Obviously not, in that case, it's better to enter the venue early to watch everything, let's wait until the movie is over

As for the reporters, they are only for Lu Yan. The real attraction of the movie "The Saint of Gambling" to them can be said to be equal to zero, compared to "Carmen in Mong Kok", at least Wang Zuxian and them support the scene, "The Saint of Gambling" is nothing

Just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, Liu Zhenwei and they all came. It is estimated that they all know the situation this time, so Liu Zhenwei simply called Stephen Chow and they came to the premiere together. Needless to say, everything is decided by the movie

Stephen Chow, who was following Liu Zhenwei, was obviously very nervous. This is not only the first time he has faced a big scene like this, but also the first time he has attended the premiere as a leading actor

Countless long guns and short cannons were aimed at him, and Stephen Chow was obviously a little unaccustomed.

Wu Mengda waved his hand and greeted the audience.

"Xingzai, nervous?"

"En" Stephen Chow nodded noncommittally, but there was perseverance in his eyes.

Listening to director Liu Zhenwei, Lu Yan has already seen the finished film of "The Saint of Gambling". And I think it's very good...... When everyone knows the news, they are very confident.

Liu Zhenwei was also very simple, and simply conveyed Lu Yan's words to cheer him up to Stephen Chow.

Liu Zhenwei himself knows about today's situation. A movie with a lineup like "The Saint of Gambling" is determined by the box office at all.

Naturally, the audience began to shout for entry

But the journalists, apparently, were dumbfounded. They surrounded Liu Zhenwei and Stephen Chow and asked repeatedly: "Won't Yan Zai come to the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling" this time?" ”

Because they began to interview Stephen Chow and Liu Zhenwei, they asked a lot of questions just to wait for Lu Yan. But seeing that Liu Zhenwei was about to announce his entry, Lu Yan still did not appear.

Could it be that he didn't plan to come to the premiere of "The Saint of Gambling"?

Or did he deliberately avoid us reporters who had already entered the venue early or wanted to watch it later?
