During the time when Zhang Jin and others went to Italy, "The Saint of Gambling" was able to fall with a box office of 40.02 million, becoming the first film work in Hong Kong to break the 40 million mark.

Yongsheng spent a lot of effort to promote "God of Gamblers", and even spent a lot of money to brush up the data in order to spell out a beautiful box office, and "God of Gamblers" was painted with more than 39 million at the same time, the already deep-rooted gambling culture on Hong Kong Island was heated up again, and Wang Jing stupidly gave away people's heads, but it made "The Saint of Gambling" take the lead.

With a cost of 3.5 million, a rookie lineup, and such an impressive record, Jinlong's brilliance can be described as unparalleled for a while, which even Xiang Huasheng sighed at himself.

"Ah Jin, you have to have a treat!" When Xiang Huasheng called to congratulate him, he said in a vinegar tone: "Our predecessors of Yongsheng planted trees, and as a result, you kid was cheaper, and my general Wang Jing was greatly injured, so I can't kill you if I don't kill you!" ”

Zhang Jin couldn't open his eyes sleepily, and said in a daze: "Brother, I've been tossing TV series day and night for the past two days, you can find Shaohua for the treat, and she will take care of the money." ”

One of Jinlong's accounts is Chen Shaohua is in charge, Shaohua sister paper adheres to the fine style of the charter wife, as soon as the box office dividend time of "Gambling Saint" arrives, she begins to collect dividends from each household, including all kinds of celebration banquets are also arranged by her.

"Hey, you're pushing it cleanly, let me tell you, the celebration banquet should be specially organized, and it will be very helpful to enhance Jinlong's reputation if it is handled well, and then let Shaohua mobilize his connections and invite a few more big bowls in the media industry."

"How about I call Uncle Six?"

"Damn, of course it's good to invite Uncle Six. After all, he is a film and television tycoon, the problem is that your relationship with TVB is so stiff now, and the six million gamble has not yet come to fruition. If you lose......"

Zhang Jin yawned and said, "It's a matter of people, but why do you think I'm going to lose?" ”

"You don't listen to what's going on outside the window, you only care about filming dramas, and let people buy a few copies of today's newspaper and come back, and see if there are all kinds of singing about it, and you're going to be finished." Xiang Huasheng teased: "The things you did in Italy were innocently exposed to the media, and it seems that they were the work of a certain senior TVB executive." ”

"Hmm~" Zhang Jin listened. After stretching his waist and getting up, after seeing that Xu Rui outside was busy editing, he said to Xiang Huasheng: "That's fine." Someone promoted the new drama for free, which saved me a lot of money. ”

"Nima!" Xiang Huasheng had a toothache, "I'm worried about my feelings." ”

"Hmph." Zhang Jin smiled, "Okay." Wait until I'm done with these few days. The celebration banquet was well organized. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jin came out to look at the progress of the editing, "Rui, is the TV series editing fun?" ”

Xu Rui sighed and said, "This thing...... It's easy, it's not challenging, and I finished cutting three episodes in one morning. ”

Zhang Jin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly put the first four episodes of the sample film in to watch.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jin finished watching the second episode. "Uncle Xu, you are my own uncle. Lao Tzu is the amount of 40 episodes, and according to your cutting method, it will shrink by one episode. ”

Xu Rui's editing skills are absolutely solid, especially the several fight scenes edited by him are remarkable, and the lion dance scene is particularly eye-catching.

But the problem is that because he has been engaged in film editing for a long time, the editing style is too crisp, and there is no mud and water at all, so he cut the weight of five episodes into four episodes.

As soon as Zhang Jinyi said, Xu Rui scratched his head in pain and said, "I...... I felt like those shots were redundant. ”

"TV series, it's free, for those teachers and grandmothers to pass the time." Zhang Jin said angrily: "This thing pays attention to the long flow of water, you just come to inject water and meat or something, as long as the plot is coherent, the characters are distinct, and there are no fatal picture errors, the audience will not care." ”

"But I heard that this show costs six million, and if the editing is wrong, it will affect the ratings."

Yes, Xu Rui is also kind-hearted, but he is too careful.

Zhang Jin patted his thigh, thought about it and said, "In this way, let's cut it again, I'll tell you how to inject water, ok?" ”

Xu Rui nodded like pounding garlic: "Mm-hmm." ”

Editing is definitely a craft job, but also a skill job.

No matter how scummy you shoot, if it falls into the hands of experienced and stylized editors, it will turn decay into magic and give bad movies a new lease of life.

Similarly, no matter how good you shoot, when you encounter an editor who cheats on you, the film will be cut into slag.

Fortunately, the overall shooting of "My Ben" is above the industry level, and the recruitment of the eyesight master has laid a good foundation in the front, and with the assistance of Zhang Jin's open and hanging bug, Xu Rui, the fast knife player, gave full play to the rapid harvesting advantages of ADC.

Although the second editing wasted a certain amount of time, the effect of the duo was surprising.

Zhang Jin watched the first four episodes three or four times, and compared them with the original version in his mind one by one, and came to a "perfect" conclusion.

With the increase in investment costs and the unprecedented lineup of the main creative core, the current "My Ben" has been completely remodeled, which has been upgraded by a grade compared to the original version, and the picture style is closer to the level of the movie.

After the first four episodes were completed, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Jin and the two took the time to start lunch.

During the meal, Xu Rui said: "Boss, you spend half of your energy on TV dramas, is Jinlong going to buy TV stations in the future?" ”

"This brain hole is so good!" Zhang Jin approvingly said: "But the acquisition of a TV station costs billions, and I don't have that much money." ”

"Jinlong's two films made more than 30 million profits, opened 12 films a year at least 100 million, and struggled for two or three years with 200 million or 300 million capital in his hands, and he could completely acquire the shares of ATV and TVB!"

Zhang Jin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, "You are too real, the market is so big, if you do it again, how can others mix, sooner or later you will be killed by several other companies!" ”

"Ugh!" Xu Rui was completely dumbfounded.

"Okay, it's just a matter of thinking about it. Don't get into the nitty-gritty, hurry up and finish the fifth episode of the clip. Zhang Jin patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "It's been hard these days, after you get this one." In the future, Jinlong's episodes will be handled by you. ”

Xu Rui asked, "Is there any extra bonus?" ”

"I'm rubbing, didn't "The Saint of Gambling" just give you a five-dollar bonus?"

Xu Rui said aggrievedly: "Boss, I have been single for 30 years, and I have to provide for a house, and my life is under a lot of pressure, so I have to find some balance~"

"You're out piao?"

"Don't say it's so ugly, it's a normal need!"

"Ten episodes and 10,000 yuan."

"Can you prepay half of it first?"

Zhang Jin pointed out five large bills and handed them over. "I'm not allowed to go anywhere these days, do you know how to cut the film here, if you dare to go out to the jungle. Be careful that I break your fifth limb! ”

"Hey, thank you boss, goodbye boss!"

"Virtue!" Zhang Jin scolded a few words with a smile and went to the studio to watch the progress.

Before making more than clips. Now it's time for the editing to explode the production. So Zhang Jin immediately adjusted the focus of his work and personally went to the scene to supervise the shooting situation.

Besides, Wei Jiahui stared at it all night last night, and now in the middle of sleep, Zhao Zhenqiang and Zeng Lizhen are out on location, and only two executive directors are left in the studio to shoot some irrelevant supporting roles, and the pressure is not very great.

But when Zhang Jin came to the studio, he found that Guo Steward's crew was also there, pretending to be five and six people with his hands behind his back. Look here, look there.

If you're just here to make a round, forget it. The key is that Nima also called the director, and all kinds of fingers were made, which led to the suspension of work on the set!

Zhang Jin was annoyed when he saw it, and walked over with his eyebrows twisted and said, "Guo Shao, what wind blew you here." ”

When Guo Flight Attendant saw Zhang Jin's arrival, he had a smile on his face, "I came as the manager of the TVB Remuneration Committee, because I received a complaint from an employee, saying that your crew ignored everyone's health and safety and let everyone stop filming 24 hours a day. ”

Zhang Jin shrugged indifferently and said, "Real-name report or anonymous report?" ”

"Anonymous." Guo Flight Attendant said: "Whether it's true or not, some things have to be seen with your own eyes to know the answer, but come and take a look, tsk, what people reported is very reasonable, you see, these artists are tired, the acting is not in a state at all, the quality of the shooting can be guaranteed, and the master who lights up, you are very dangerous to doze off on the shelf, do you know." ”

"Artists are the foundation of our TVB, you have violated humanitarianism by doing so, and then I will report to Uncle Six and suggest that the filming of this series be suspended."

"Guo Shao, don't play this set of empty heads, TVB has been established for 20 years to implement the old policy, when did you learn the trick of ghost humanitarianism, please, this is Hong Kong, and Hollywood can't copy it." Zhang Jin smiled coldly, he was not afraid of Guo Stewardo's small report at all.

"Just a suggestion." Guo Stewardon snorted and laughed: "Jinzai, don't be so nervous, okay, I know you're under a lot of pressure, and you still have less than twelve hours, it's very refreshing to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, I haven't done a single episode, six million have been given away for nothing, and there is a ten-year long contract, tsk, isn't it cool?" ”

Guo Flight Attendant's purpose made Zhang Jin cry and laugh, "You just came over and made a mockery?" ”

Guo Flight Attendant nodded and said: "Yes, what a fun thing this is, oh oh, I forgot to tell you, according to the latest news report, Wen Zhaolun had an accident just while filming diving, and now he is rescuing, your male number one probably needs to rest for a while, seeing your calamity, I am really happy, hahahaha!" ”

Zhang Jin was about to speak, when the big brother in his hand rang out.

Guo flight attendant said: "Answer the phone quickly, maybe it's a critical illness notice from the hospital, hahaha!" ”

Nima!

Zhang Jin answered the phone: "Hey." ”

Zeng Lizhen's voice came, "Boss, Zhaolun had calf cramps when he went into the water, and I am afraid that the diving scene will not be filmed, but after the diagnosis of the accompanying private doctor, it is not a big problem, and I should be able to continue filming after resting for half a day." ”

"How much progress have you completed?"

“95%。”

"OK, all the teams are over, the diving scene is over here!" Zhang Jin hung up the phone.

"Pa~Papa~Pap~" Guo Flight Attendant came over gloatingly, clapping his hands, and said with his eyebrows dancing: "How is it, is it impossible to shoot?" ”

Zhang Jin sighed, nodded and said, "I was really told by Guo Dashao, the male number one needs to rest." ”

"That's it, people are not machines, how can you toss so much, it's no problem if the series can't be filmed and lose millions, don't make a life lawsuit, it's really troublesome."

Zhang Jin said: "Thank you Guo Shao for your concern, I will consider it seriously!" ”

"Young man, you have finally fought the current situation, don't continue to die, fight with the old rivers and lakes like the sixth uncle, you can't win!" Guo Stewardo's voice suddenly said seriously: "It's better to take refuge in me, let's work together, I believe that with my financial resources and your intelligence, I can definitely suppress the sixth uncle and six aunts." ”

"......" Zhang Jin was stunned, he said in his heart, Nyima, are you really stupid or fake stupid, if Lao Tzu wanted to find a backer, he would have taken refuge in Fang Yihua a long time ago, the husband and wife are so experienced, although the TVB of the later generations is a bit late, but after all, it is at the level of a film and television tycoon.

You are a second ancestor who doesn't learn and can't learn and still want to play tricks, I'll give you a face.

Guo Flight Attendant was still hesitating when Zhang Jin was hesitating, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Ah Jin, I appreciate the young man's aggressiveness, I will wait for your news tomorrow afternoon, as long as you nod, I will help you carry the six million." ”

"Thank you Guo Shao, goodbye Guo Shao." Zhang Jinpi replied with a smile.

Guo Flight Attendant nodded very usefully, and walked away with a refreshing body.

"Boss, are we still shooting?" One of the executive directors ran over and asked.

"Bring me the shooting plan." Zhang Jin said.

The two directors quickly handed in the plan, Zhang Jin checked it one by one, this plan was formulated by Wei Jiahui, and only Zhang Jin and he could understand the content on it.

"Okay, give everyone a half-day off, Guo Shao is right, although the filming progress is important, everyone's health is even more important!" Zhang Jin closed the plan and said, "In this way, you can count the personnel on the site and go to a nearby hospital for a physical examination before getting off work." ”

"Okay, thank you boss!" The two directors immediately nodded in response and began to count the list of personnel, and for a while various "thank you boss" voices sounded.

In the twelve hours before the official departure from the street, the crew of "My Ben" stopped work on the whole line, and 100 people went to the hospital for a physical examination.

After the news reached Fang Yihua's ears, she jumped to her feet and scolded her mother directly, "You foolish boy, the second ancestor of the Guo family just scared you, your special mother really took the bait, now it's okay, if you don't get an episode, forget it, it's a complete shutdown, tomorrow see what you do!" ”

"Why did it stop all of a sudden?" Wei Jiahui asked when he returned from the hotel in the afternoon.

"Flight attendant Guo gave me a wake-up call, I want to investigate some suspicious elements." (To be continued......)
