Chapter 301 "The Saint of Gambling" Boom (First Update.)

"The box office determines success or failure, but it is not a yardstick for measurement"

There is no doubt that this year's annual box office champion belongs to "The Saint of Gambling". [Reading Network] (hand-made novel) and "The Saint of Gambling", which has only been released for a month, has exceeded 50 million at the box office. "The True Color of Heroes", which successfully surpassed the total box office champion, topped the list

But in terms of the quality of this "Saint of Gambling", it is not enough to compare with movies such as "The True Color of Heroes". In fact, the main reason why it was able to sweep the box office market so quickly is because this year's Spring Festival movie has no rival. And the reason why such a situation occurs is precisely because the footsteps of several other major film companies have not been able to keep up with Dongcheng Imaging.

As Lu Yan said, the current Hong Kong movies have fallen into a strange circle. In terms of innovation ability, Dongcheng Image is absolutely incomparable.

Whether it is the previous "God of Gamblers" or the current "Saint of Gambling", they have firmly grasped the psychology of the audience. In particular, "The Saint of Gambling" appeared as a small person, and the gimmick of using special functions suddenly made the audience crazy. Stephen Chow filmed according to Lu Yan's script and successfully created a 'nonsensical' performance style

An actor who has struggled on the edge of the dragon set several times, and after starring in the movie of Dongcheng Images, he became a star At present, it is rumored that Stephen Chow's salary is comparable to the price of a first-line actor in Hong Kong

But in terms of the quality of the movie, "The Saint of Gambling" is definitely not first-class. It mainly wins in the novelty of the subject matter and the crazy performance of Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda, which makes the audience laugh.

Although the box office of this film has become the overall box office champion in Hong Kong, it has broken the record of exceeding 50 million at the box office in January. Even, this is the first Hong Kong film to break 50 million at the box office. But its quality and content are still not enough to compare with movies such as "True Colors of Heroes" and "Best Partner" series.

Perhaps, we have to sigh: current events create heroes

Should other filmmakers reflect on why Eastside Films' movies have more than one box office result? Why is Lu's movie, the reputation is getting better and better

Should everyone seriously think about Lu Yan's words, Hong Kong movies have been repeated into a strange circle. If the other major film companies can't keep up with the footsteps of Dongcheng Images, they are destined to be gradually eliminated by this circle

"The Saint of Gambling" hit a new high at the Hong Kong box office, breaking two records

"Directed by Liu Zhenwei and starring Stephen Chow. "The Saint of Gambling" has become the king. 》

"'Nonsensical' style movie, officially on the rise? 》

"After a movie, can Stephen Chow continue the legend"

"God of Gamblers" and "Saint of Gambling" are all from Lu Yan's handwriting"

"The ghost director, who is a ghost screenwriter. 》

The popularity of the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" naturally detonated the madness of Hong Kong journalists. They watched in amazement as the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" became higher and higher, until it surpassed "The True Color of Heroes" until it created the 50 million mark at the box office of Hong Kong movies.

Maybe everyone thought that the box office performance of this movie should be good at the beginning, but they never imagined that "The Saint of Gambling" would be able to reach such a point

Liu Zhenwei, it's on fire. Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda are on fire. Zhang Min, it's on fire

A movie that completely made all the teams of "The Saint of Gambling" popular. This film, made by a newcomer, immediately became the front page headline of all entertainment newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong.

Everyone pondered and speculated, but blamed a large part of the reason on the screenwriter - Lu Yan.

If there was no script for "The Saint of Gambling", they might still be in obscurity.

And Dongcheng Imaging has now become a mecca for Hong Kong films. Countless young people hope to come to Dongcheng Imaging to develop. Countless actors, through companies and agents, hope to appear in Dongcheng Films' films.

Until this Spring Festival, Dongcheng Images, which annexed Debao Film Company, has become a well-deserved leader in Hong Kong films. Xinyicheng and Jiahe are all standing aside at the moment

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Director Liu Zhenwei, your debut film "The Saint of Gambling" broke a record at the box office, do you have any feelings?"

Due to the box office fire of "The Saint of Gambling", Liu Zhenwei and several leading actors of "The Saint of Gambling" have also become the objects of invitation to many programs. They are also happy to take this opportunity to start better promoting "The Saint of Gambling" and let it climb to new heights.

Hearing the host's question, Liu Zhenwei smiled.

"I used to be the manager of a film company, but then I lost my job because the company didn't do well. But at that time, I got acquainted with Wong Kar-wai, who was also depressed. The two of us wrote a script together, and we went straight to Dongcheng Image."

When the host heard this, he was immediately surprised: "Oh? So, your first choice was Dongcheng Image? ”

"Yes, because Dongcheng Imaging is playing the young card, Wong Kar-wai and I are not old" Speaking of this, Liu Zhenwei laughed and said: "Actually, I was thinking that Wong Kar-wai was originally from Xinyicheng." Maybe it can have something to do with Yan Zai......"

"Haha" The audience and the host laughed when they heard this. Stephen Chow, who was sitting on the side, also snickered.

"Don't laugh, I really thought that. However, after seeing Yan Zai at Dongcheng Image, we felt a little worried. Because of the script we handed over, Yan Zai immediately saw the flaws and even many of my intentions. But in the end, he left us behind. even gave us a promise on the spot", Liu Zhenwei said with emotion: "In this regard, I still feel strange. Yan Zai's ability to look at people, maybe I can't learn it in my life. In the end, I got the script of "The Saint of Gambling", which, according to Yan Zai's words, is that my style is suitable for making such a movie. As it turned out, he was right. "The Saint of Gambling" has achieved such a big success now, and I am very grateful to him."

"What about you, Xingzi?"

As an old man of TVB, Stephen Chow entered the studio as a guest for the first time in addition to hosting children's programs.

"I heard later that Yan Tsai asked Andy if they knew me ......" mentioned this, Stephen Chow was still a little embarrassed and said: "After tossing and turning, I will be happy and crazy after I know the news." That night, I practiced acting by myself in front of the mirror...... It's just that these things are not used when they arrive at the company. ”

"Haha...... Xingzai, I heard that many people call you Xingye now? ”

"It's all about them giving face, in fact, I'm still me, although "The Saint of Gambling" is popular. But I wish I could star in a better movie......"

Stephen Chow, who has always been playing tricks, is indeed a little unable to react to such a huge success in his dreams. When many people see themselves now, they will laugh and shout 'Star Master'. Although I am still a little unaccustomed to it, I enjoy this feeling very much

"As far as I know, this is also the first film starring you. How about working with director Liu Zhenwei? ”

"Of course it was all fun, in fact, we laughed a lot when we were shooting. When I play against Uncle Da and Amin, I often laugh...... "After all, there are too many funny scenes in "The Saint of Gambling", and these funny elements are unheard of in everyone's eyes. When performing, Stephen Chow, Wu Mengda, and Zhang Min often laughed.

In fact, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry during this period, many people can take it out as a very positive case. Such as Lu Yan, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung......

One by one, they all came all the way.

Stephen Chow, how could it be otherwise. Because of this, they all have a sense of awe in their hearts. Work is to make money, but also for a dream.

But it was such a difficult situation to have both, and Lu Yan gave them a good balance.

Making movies doesn't have to be about making money, but making good movies definitely makes money

The entire team of "The Saint of Gambling" was almost all excavated by Lu Yan. Such as Liu Zhenwei, Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Min, Wu Mengda...... One by one, they all received the greatest support from Lu Yan.

So when filming "The Saint of Gambling", everyone was holding a breath in their hearts, and everyone was shooting with their hearts. Even if the final rush shooting was often filmed until the middle of the night, no one had a word of complaint.

In the end, "The Saint of Gambling" was a huge success.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The Saint of Gambling" is in full swing, and the box office is still rising. Stephen Chow and the others have all received countless notices. If it weren't for the approaching New Year, perhaps Liu Zhenwei would have wanted to be eager to devote himself to the preparation of the new film.

Since there is no movement in the new film for the time being, Liu Zhenwei simply took Stephen Chow and them to take over countless programs. In addition to increasing exposure, the promotion and momentum of "The Saint of Gambling" is naturally very effective.

In the craze of "The Saint of Gambling", all the movies have been sidelined. Even "Mong Kok Carmen", which was well received at the beginning, has seriously shrunk at the box office due to the huge impact of "The Saint of Gambling".

However, for Wong Kar-wai, the box office of "Mong Kok Carmen" is enough to satisfy him. What's more, competing with a movie like "The Saint of Gambling" at the box office is completely untouchable. Even "True Colors of Heroes" has been surpassed, and such a miracle requires chance and luck

What's more, the current Wong Kar-wai has been assisting Lu Yan in filming "Rock and Roll Youth". More often, he discussed with Lu Yan about the changes to the script and the skills of shooting.
