Chapter 104: God of Gamblers is released
In the last month of the summer vacation in August, "God of Gamblers", which was cooperated by Brilliant and Yongsheng, was finally put on the big screen and met the audience.
Last night, the film "God of Gamblers" had a grand premiere at the Miracle Cinemas Central flagship store, and the number of celebrities and stars present was counted, which made the media reporters present breathtaking. There is no way who makes the producer of this film a brilliant company that is now booming, and it is Yongsheng who cooperates together, and the Xiang brothers also come forward, so everyone can't help but give face.
This film, which has attracted much attention from the media and the public since the beginning of filming, whether the glory can continue to be successful, and whether Zhou Yunfa can create a classic again, this is what the media and the public are most eager to know. For these journalist outlets, for better or for worse, it's the headlines. The film is popular, that is, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, if the film hits the street, it will be more news, although it can't be said that the wall is down and everyone pushes it, but they will definitely not mind adding fuel to the fire.
Fortunately, the premiere was quite successful that night, and the audience who participated in the premiere walked out of the screening hall with a smile on their faces. The reporters who interviewed them were puzzled, it was really so good, if they didn't have to rush back to hand in the materials, they all wanted to buy tickets to watch it immediately.
Today, "God of Gamblers" was officially released in major theaters.
"The glorious summer file is a heavy blow, "God of Gamblers" is hotly released, and Zhou Yunfa interprets the style of the God of Gamblers for you"
This is the term on the poster of "God of Gamblers" posted at the entrance of major theaters, and there is also a picture of Zhou Runfa, that is, the domineering picture of Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers, when he scolded Fang Qiong on the gambling table, especially those deep eyes, which are fascinating to watch.
Not only in front of the cinema, but also in various places such as bus billboards, buses, newspapers, and televisions, there are different forms of publicity. The streets are full of news about the release of "God of Gamblers", and as the saying goes, if you look up and don't look down, you will find that there is publicity about the film everywhere, and even people who didn't plan to watch the movie can't help but be curious and enter the theater.
The two companies of Brilliant and Yongsheng joined forces to plan and invest a large amount of money, which can be said to have done a very good job in promoting the film. Moreover, major newspapers also made large reports on the premiere of the film last night, and the comments of those professional film critics are also a major focus of the promotion of the film "God of Gamblers". Of course, the film critics are not dominated by the two companies, but they all have full confidence in this film, the quality of the film is passable, but the surname is strong, so what else is there to worry about. After all, those film critics are professional and will not open their eyes and tell nonsense, as long as they comment truthfully, it will be a gain for this film.
Now, various reviews of the film "God of Gamblers", which premiered last night, have appeared in various newspapers and newspapers, and have also been sent to every newspaper retail outlet on the streets and alleys of Hong Kong with the newspaper truck early.
Most of the film critics have truthfully made professional comments on this film, some for the plot of the film, some for the style of the film, and some for the performances of the actors. Of course, there are those who say good, and there are those who say bad, but after all, those are only a few, and they are some unknown tabloids, deliberately for the sake of brilliance and sales. Both companies don't care about rat, and the more you care about them, the more proud they become. What they want is sales, so they won't use any means or methods.
In the opinion lounge of the brilliant company, Zhong Yihong was holding a newspaper in his hand and looking at it carefully, and the seat next to him was also a newspaper, but it was not a stack. She came early, and the others didn't, so she looked at the newspapers she picked up in the company lobby first. This is the sixth review of "God of Gamblers" she has read. And this one is more interesting, and the whole article is praising Zhou Runfa, so she looked at it curiously.
"Zhou Runfa has created another classic, and the God of Gambling is high, which is memorable. After watching this film, the biggest impression on me is the deep eyes of the God of Gamblers, which are as incomprehensible as a fascination. The original "True Colors of Heroes" let us see a persistent, daring, blood-filled and chic little brother, and today's "God of Gamblers" allows us to see another world God of Gamblers who is full of confidence, domineering, and full of bamboo. The essence of this film lies in Zhou Yan's amazing acting skills, especially the calm atmosphere and invincibleness he showed in the casino, which is in stark contrast to the childlike childlike of a mentally handicapped child who has been injured and has lost his memory. It's breathtaking. He has given everyone two surprises in one year, and now Zhou Yunfa can be said to be out of control, I hope he will continue to work hard to bring more and better wonderful stories to everyone and Hong Kong. ”
This is a film review published in the Xiangjiang Entertainment News today, and the film review that wrote this review doesn't know if it is particularly fond of Zhou Runfa, and the whole article is praising him alone.
"Honggu, what are you looking at, so carefully." When Zhou Yanfa walked into the lounge, he saw that Zhong Yihong was alone in the whole room, and she was looking down at something, looking very quiet.
When she heard Zhou Runfa's voice, Zhong Yihong just read the whole comment, so she raised the newspaper in her hand, looked at Zhou Runfa with a playful face and said with a smile: "Hehe, look at the newspaper, you don't know, this comment is all about praising you, saying that you Zhou Runfa will be out of control as soon as you send it." ”
"Really?" Zhou Yanfa smiled, took the newspaper in Zhong Yihong's hand, and opened it with a puzzled look. Sure enough, as Honggu said, this report is really praising herself, and Zhou Yunfa is naturally happy when others praise him so much, but after he came back after the original downfall, he is now too calm.
He didn't care about such a comment in front of him, looking at Zhong Yihong's expression staring at him, he rolled his eyes, pretended to be surprised and handed the newspaper to Zhong Yihong, and then looked at Zhong Yihong with puzzled eyes, "I don't remember anyone who gave him a gift, this guy actually praised me like this, it can't be that he made the wrong person." ”
"Hehe, hehe" Zhong Yihong was first stunned by Zhou Yanfa's cold words, and then saw Zhou Yanfa's narrow eyes, and suddenly laughed with enlightenment.
"I really haven't given him a gift," Zhou Yanfa looked at Zhong Yinhong very innocently, and emphasized loudly and deliberately.
"Hehe, no," Zhong Yihong couldn't straighten up with a smile, sat on the chair with his stomach in his arms, and after a while, he forced a smile to look at Zhou Yunfa with a helpless expression on his face and said, "Brother Fa, when will you also learn to be humorous." ”
"Ya, you can see this, it seems that my acting skills are still not good," Zhou Yanfa first opened his mouth in surprise, and then covered his face with one hand, shook helplessly, and sighed with loss.
Zhong Yihong laughed too hard just now, and now his whole body is slumped in the chair, looking at Zhou Yanfa's funny, he just gave him a roll of his eyes helplessly, "You can be proud"
"Brother Fa, Honggu, what are you talking about so happily." Outside, Liu Dehua and Wang Zuxian walked in, they heard laughter in the room outside the door, and Liu Dehua couldn't help but look at the two curiously. Wang Zuxian on the side also blinked her big bright eyes and looked at the two curiously.
"You're here too, sit down, don't stand, I told Honggu a joke just now, and I made her look like this." Zhou Yanfa heard the voice, turned around and saw Liu Dehua and the two who walked in, and called them to sit down, and said helplessly to the two of them.
"Come Xiaoxian, sit next to me." Zhong Yihong rested for a while, finally stopped laughing, first nodded with Liu Dehua, and then greeted Wang Zuxian cordially, and pulled her to his side and sat down.
"I heard that you've been practicing singing all this time, why do you plan to develop in music?" Zhou Yunfa turned his head sideways and looked at Liu Dehua who was sitting next to him, with a slight doubt in his eyes. Liu Dehua played very well in the last film "Heavenly Love", slightly changed everyone's opinion of him before, according to Zhou Runfa's idea should be to make persistent efforts and make a few more good films, but I didn't expect this guy to practice singing while filming, so it will be more tiring to take care of both ends.
Although in the current entertainment industry, it is normal to sing and sing, or sing and act, but there are not many people who are really mixed well in the two circles.
"Well, I have this plan, but at present, singing is in the initial training stage, mainly in acting, and when I am almost done, I will officially release an album or something." For Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua is very respectful, and after hearing the other party's question, he replied without hesitation. After a pause, he added, "Ah Cheng also said that he is optimistic about my development in singing, let me study more first, and he will help me when the time is right." ”
"Oh," Zhou Yanfa nodded suddenly in realization, "Since Ah Cheng thinks you can, let's try it, but it will be very tiring to be busy on both sides, so you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"Hmm," Liu Dehua nodded seriously.
"Andy is going to sing" Zhong Yihong, who was sitting on the side chatting with Wang Zuxian, heard the conversation between the two and came over curiously.
"Hmm," Liu Dehua roughly repeated what he had just said.
Zhong Yihong heard that Makujo would help him and nodded understandingly, she still trusts Makujo's ability very much, although she can't sing herself, but she knows the songs written by Makujo, which is really great, and now Brilliant has also set up a record department, and it will be much easier to prepare everything in all aspects.
"What do you think this film can do at the box office in the end," Zhong Yihong looked at the three of them and suddenly asked.
The three of them didn't react for a while, and looked at Zhong Yihong in unison.
"It's "God of Gamblers" released today," Zhong Yihong said directly to the eyes of the three of them, and then turned around and took a stack of newspapers from the chair next to him and put it on his lap, "You see, yesterday's premiere was so successful, and so many newspapers reported it early this morning, basically all of them were applauded, that doesn't mean that the box office will be very good." ”
The three of them came to their senses at the premiere yesterday, and they were all present at the premiere yesterday, and it was the first time they saw the finished film, and they felt very good.
"Why don't we guess, when the final box office comes out, whoever is closest will win. When the time comes, the loser is treated, how about the big rich. Zhong Yihong looked at the three of them excitedly.
"It's okay, let's be entertained" Zhou Yunfa also thought it was okay, and nodded with a smile. Liu Dehua and Wang Zuxian will naturally not object.
"Okay, then Brother Fa will come first, you are the starring role, you are the first." Zhong Yihong blinked, stared at Zhou Yanfa and said, his face full of smiles.
Zhou Yanfa touched his nose helplessly, why did you come first, didn't you bring it up. However, under Zhong Yihong's fierce eyes, he groaned and said: "Although I think the acting is very good, but it depends on the release of the later film, how about we insure 28 million." In fact, Zhou Yunfa thought that maybe it should be better, but he didn't say it, saying it too highly, so as not to make people feel that they were selling themselves and boasting. Of course, you said that this is already very high, but in Zhou Yanfa's opinion, this is a normal situation, as for 20 million, he didn't think about it at all, it was out of confidence in himself and confidence in the shogun. Because of this play, the script is provided by Makujo.
The three of them looked at each other, the number of 28 million insurance points, you must know that there are few films released now that have a box office of 20 million. But if you think about it, 28 million is really hopeful, everyone as the starring actor in this film is naturally hungry, it is indeed very good, and it is still during the summer vacation, maybe it is really possible if the release effect is good.
Think about several works of Brilliant Company, except for the previous unpopular literary film "The True Story of the Crazy Guy", which had a box office of 10 million, the others have exceeded 20 million, and "The True Color of Heroes" and "Nightclub" are the first and second places in the Hong Kong box office list today. Everyone found a problem from this, that is, the scripts of these films are all from the hands of Makujo, and now this "God of Gamblers" is also a script written by Makujo, and with such an excellent performance of Fa Ge, it should not be much lower.
"The insurance that Fa Ge said, then I'll be a little higher, how about 30 million." Liu Dehua paused, and then continued. Zhou Run's first launch was more than 20 million, and he also felt that the box office was very promising, so he raised it a little.
"Then I'll guess 32 million" Zhong Yihong thought about it, and added two million on the basis of Liu Dehua.
"Xiaoxian, how many do you guess" After the three of them finished speaking, Zhong Yihong looked at Wang Zuxian next to him who did not speak.
"35 million" In fact, Wang Zuxian really didn't know how much to say, seeing that they were all confident in estimating the box office so high, she thought about it and reported the high point, more than everyone else, if it didn't arrive, others wouldn't say about her.
"What are you talking about 35 million" As soon as Makujo walked into the room, he heard Wang Zuxian say 35 million, and couldn't help but look at the four people in the room curiously.
"Ah Cheng, you're here," Zhou Yan greeted Mu Cheng with a smile, "Everyone saw that the newspaper said that our film was very good, and a few people who were idle and bored just now made a bet." ”
"Oh," Makujo suddenly realized, this kind of thing is normal, everyone will estimate it in private, he smiled and said: "Since this is also my share" After a pause, he continued, "I think it should be more than 36 million, if I win, I will invite everyone to dinner, if I lose, then you will have a treat." ”
"No" Zhong Yihong was the first to jump out to object, and when she saw Makujo looking over, she glanced at Makucheng charmingly and continued: "You are the boss, if you win, how can you only invite one meal, how can you have three meals, plus sauna, and a full set together." ”
"Okay, if I win, I'll invite everyone to have a **, how about being satisfied" Makujo nodded in agreement without thinking about it, for him, it's just that everyone is happy, and he still doesn't care about spending that little money.
"Hehe" Zhong Yihong smiled happily when he saw that Mucheng agreed, and gave Makucheng a look that counted him as acquaintance.
The other three also laughed, for them, the higher the box office, the better it was for them, and it was naturally happy to have someone to treat.
"Alright, that's it." Makujo smiled and nodded, then said:
"If you want to **, you can work harder in the next publicity."
They got together today because they were going to TVB in the evening to go on a show to promote "God of Gamblers". It's just early days, just wait in the company now.
The next day, Zhou Yunfa and others got the news that the box office of "God of Gamblers" had been settled, and the box office on the day of release had a box office of 3 million, which could not but be said to be a big surprise. The first thing that came to the mind of several people was that the full set that Makujo had promised had been settled.
This is also the summer vacation, everyone has time to watch movies, if it is usual, at least a lot less. At the beginning of the release of "The True Color of Heroes", the box office was only about 2 million. It seems that this summer file is really not fake, and the profit margins in it are too rich.
When Makujo got this box office news, he couldn't help but wonder if his "A Chinese Ghost Story" would also be released during the winter vacation, maybe the box office would be better. But that's just a thought, and I haven't planned it yet.
It is not only the brilliant company that got this news, but the outside media also got the box office data of the first day of "God of Gamblers" through other relationships. In fact, this is brilliantly released, in order to promote the public to enter the theater to watch this film, so that the box office of "God of Gamblers" is getting higher and higher.
As brilliantly expected, when the box office was reported by the media, it aroused the interest of the public, which indirectly made more people enter the theater. The ticket offices of major theaters are full of long queues, and some of the tickets for the day have been sold out, and those sold are all tickets for the next few days.
People have a curious heart and a habit of being a cloud of people, when you don't know, it's okay, once you get the news, just like or be curious, or follow the trend, you will always involuntarily step in, let yourself become a part of it. Therefore, the quality of the film "God of Gamblers" itself is passable, and it has such a good job, it is difficult to think about it. (To be continued.) )
