081 Behind the scenes

In late April 1988, "God of Gamblers" was born.

The three-day trial screening was full, the crowd was full of voices, and the major media rushed to chase after it, and the public booked movie tickets for the release period, which was comparable to the "True Colors of Heroes" that year.

Dragon and Tiger

After the "God of Acting" Zhou Yan continued the two classic roles of Xiao Ma Ge and Gao Qiu, he showed the audience his superb acting skills, so that everyone could see Gao Jin, who was once again a god from a god to a man, that kind of shock, surprise and pleasure is definitely not something that others can do.

Throughout Hong Kong, no commercial film dares to let the actor play an idiot most of the time, and Yongsheng dare, the screenwriter of "God of Gamblers", Gao Jin in "God of Gamblers" has more than half of his scenes playing fools, but as soon as he returns to the gambling table and eats a few pieces of chocolate, he will be possessed by the God of Gamblers.

With the right actors, the right script, the right crew, and the guidance of an experienced commercial film director like Wang Jing, "God of Gamblers" is hell if it is not popular, even if it was released a year in advance, it won 18 million box office in the first week of release.

With such a strong ability to absorb gold, industry insiders are amazed.

Yongsheng Film Company, cigars shuttled back and forth between Xiang Huasheng's fingers, making people look amazed, and at this moment he received Zhang Jin and Zhang Jun with a smile on his face.

"I really didn't expect that Ah Jin gave me a big gift!" Xiang Huasheng said: "This script is really good, according to this trend, there should be a box office of more than 30 million when it is painted." ”

"Thirty million is satisfied? Brother Sheng's appetite is too small. Zhang Jin shook his head and smiled: "Yongsheng has been established for almost two years, and it is time to set up a golden signboard, why not add a fire to Brother Sheng, send "God of Gamblers" to the highest point, and directly refresh the box office record of "Eight Star Annunciation" just won in Hong Kong." ”

Xiang Huasheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Zhang Jin for a long time before he stretched out his finger and said, "Ah Jin, the more you are like this, the more I appreciate you, you kid is almost on my heart." ”

"Okay, listen to you, I'll mobilize all my public relations forces to brush off the box office champion of Xinyicheng!"

Xiang Huasheng was in high spirits, called the secretary with a wave of his hand, and after a few simple explanations, he said to Zhang Jin with a smile: "Ah Jin, why don't you come and do things with me, Yongsheng chief screenwriter, how about an annual salary of two million, if you want to be a director, you can get a 10% box office dividend like Wang Jing." ”

As a screenwriter, you can earn an annual salary of two million, and if it spreads, I don't know how many people's glasses will be broken, they must think that Xiang Huasheng is crazy, you must know that the annual salary of the most powerful screenwriter is only five or six hundred thousand.

But in Xiang Huasheng's eyes, Zhang Jin is worth the price!

Xiang Huasheng thought that this price was enough to impress Zhang Jin, but Zhang Jin's answer disappointed him again.

"Thank you Brother Sheng, I feel good now, free and unrestrained, not to mention that we still maintain a cooperative relationship, if there is a suitable script for Yongsheng, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Xiang Huasheng sighed depressedly, there was a kind of grievance that he couldn't throw money out, but Lao Tzu took two million, not a dark coin.

Two million, Wang Jing's dead fat man's annual salary is only one million, okay, you are so indifferent.

The solicitation failed, Xiang Huasheng was not reluctant, and the more Zhang Jin showed no desire, the more he dared not force too close.

After lighting the cigar, Xiang Huasheng said: "Okay, let's talk about business, I have negotiated with the two theaters before you come, Golden Harvest promised to provide 4 medium-sized theaters, Debao provided 1 large theater and 2 small theaters, the box office share is the same as Yongsheng, it is 4 six open, and you will have to sign the contract later." ”

The box office results of "God of Gamblers" made Xiang Huasheng particularly concerned about Zhang Jin's affairs, in order to further bind Zhang Jin, he personally came forward to negotiate with the two major film companies, of course, he would not tell Zhang Jin about these things, as long as Zhang Jin knew that Yongsheng knew that Yongsheng knew that he would repay his kindness and do things coolly enough.

Sure enough, Zhang Jin was very satisfied when he heard this result, and said with a smile: "Brother Sheng is really happy to do things, I won't say anything polite anymore." ”

"This is what you deserve, and it is also the condition we agreed at the beginning, so I will naturally honor it."

After Xiang Huasheng finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Jun, who was speechless, and said a little strangely: "Ah Jun, what kind of reputation are you doing, you only said hello to me after entering the door, and then squatted here and only knew how to smoke, is it that we have become alienated to this point?" ”

The eldest brother flicked the cigarette ash and said with a grin: "You smart people do things, which is my turn to talk more, and when I was with you before, I was also pretending to be dead on the side, what's the difference?" ”

"Hey!" Xiang Huasheng was angry, didn't he think about it carefully, the big guy army has always used more hands than mouths, but he seemed too deliberate, nodded and said: "OK, find something to do for you, I heard that you were the golden princess, I know who did it." ”

The eldest brother's face turned cold when he heard this, and he got up suddenly, and his tower-like body instantly burst out with strong killing intent, and his fists clenched and said sharply: "Which one did it on the street!" ”

Nima, look at this posture and vow not to give up if you don't overturn your opponent!

Xiang Huasheng couldn't help but snort, and at the same time complained in his heart about Brother Ten, Brother Ten, Brother Ten, why are you confused, just because a few old guys complained, he fired a thug like Zhang Jun with explosive combat effectiveness, if he didn't take root in the Taiwan Triple Gang and was recruited by a certain community on Hong Kong Island, wouldn't it be a strong enemy for Xinji?

"Big guy, listen to Brother Sheng's speech first."

Zhang Jin said softly, and the eldest brother's killing intent disappeared in an instant, and he lit a cigarette angrily, and inhaled and sulked.

This time Xiang Huasheng is even more jealous, damn, look at the two brothers, one is super capable of fighting, and the other has a striking head, although they are just starting now, but according to this trend, the two brothers will definitely be able to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.

Xiang Huasheng coughed lightly twice and said six words: "Number gang, pig's mouth is strong." ”

Hearing the name of the pig's mouth, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eldest brother's eyes, and he said in his heart: I knew that you were fighting the street, and you should have been killed if you were desperate at the beginning.

Zhang Jin paid close attention to the dynamics of the eldest brother, and when he saw his action of smashing the cigarette, he knew that he was going to settle accounts with Pig's Mouth, so he said: "Big man, our film will be released soon, don't make any extraneous branches at this time, besides, Brother Sheng came forward to help solve the problem of the theater. ”

"I see." The eldest brother replied angrily.

"What Ah Jin said is that you don't need to be as knowledgeable as that crumb." Xiang Huasheng also reassured: "You two brothers finally finished filming, let's recover the cost first." ”
