At nine o'clock in the evening, I finally completed my shooting plan for tonight. Chen Ping'an announced a subsidy of 200 yuan for the staff, which caused everyone to cheer.

Xiang Huaqiang pulled Wang Jing away, saying that he was taking him to the casino and asking him to find creative inspiration, and the staff packed up the equipment and left in the car.

Zhang Min stood alone in the shade on the side of the road, with his head down and his heart worried. It wasn't until a Mercedes Benz stopped on the side of the road that she ran over and got into the car.

"Brother An, I'm sorry."

"Why apologize for no reason?"

Zhang Min hung his head: "I said the line just now, which made you angry......"

During filming just now, she made a slip of the tongue and said things like "Are you worthy of Brother An" in front of everyone. Afterwards, she hid in the bathroom and didn't dare to see anyone, Chen Ping'an didn't say much after coming in, just touched her head, and then asked lightly, "Can you still shoot?"

Chen Ping'an didn't scold her, which made her overjoyed, but this bland reaction made her feel even more lost, and there was a trace of fear, afraid that Chen Ping'an would be unhappy.

"Angry? You like me so much that you can't help but call out my name, how can I be angry? ”

"You're not angry?" Zhang Min raised his head in surprise, "Then your attitude was so cold just now, I thought you were unhappy." ”

"If I don't say that, how can your state adjust quickly, I'm afraid the crew hasn't lost work yet!" Chen Ping'an hugged her into his arms, "Do you miss me that much?" ”

Zhang Min's face was full of shame, and he replied after a while: "I just miss you very much, and I dreamed of you again last night." ”

"Dream about me, what?"

"Dream, dream, dream of you doing that kind of shameful thing to others." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Min buried his head in Chen Ping'an's arms, "Brother An, when will you unpack your Christmas gifts?" ”

"What Christmas present?"

"Didn't you say that people are the best Christmas present you've ever received?" Zhang Minjiao's body trembled slightly, and at the end of the voice, it was almost inaudible, "It's been a long time since Christmas, and you haven't opened the gift yet." ”

Chen Ping'an laughed and stroked her back and cheek: "Wait a few more days." I remember that the 7th of next month is your birthday, and I will open the package when the time comes, so that you can have an unforgettable birthday. ”

There are many women, birthdays are a big problem, and it takes a lot of thought just to prepare a birthday present.

Wang Guxian's birthday is January 31, but Chen Ping'an doesn't need to bother to prepare a birthday gift for her, because for Wang Guxian, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is the best birthday gift.

Since its official release on December 19, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has easily exceeded 20 million, beating Golden Harvest's "Detective Chocolate" and Debao's "Eight Joys" without much effort, and now the biggest opponent is "Bloody Heroes", which is being screened in Taiwan.

"Bloody Heroes" is also produced by Dark Horse International, and the 86 annual box office champion will be produced in these two films. Now the media is hotly discussed, Chen Ping'an + Wang Guxian vs Wu Yusen + Zhou Yunfa + Li Xiuxian, whether "A Chinese Ghost Story" is better or "Bloody Heroes" can retain the first place in the annual box office list.

The annual box office championship was actually contested by two films from a film company, which made Golden Harvest, Debao and Xinyicheng, which are also leading film companies, lose their faces. And Chen Ping'an only made a total of three movies last year, two of which were Western films, and the only Hong Kong film created a precedent for ghost movies.

In the office of Pan Disheng, Pan Disheng, Hong Jinbao, Shum Jianxun and Gao Zhisen sat around the coffee table. They just came out of the company's small screening room and finished watching "Rich and Powerful" directed by Gao Zhisen.

Gao Zhisen, who was poached from Xinyicheng with a lot of money, was highly valued by Debao, and as soon as he joined, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of directing the Chinese New Year films.

Pan Disheng looked left and right: "Let's talk about it." ”

Sham said: "I think it's good, there are a lot of jokes, the comedy effect is good, and it is also in line with the public's enthusiasm for Mark Six lottery." ”

Hong Jinbao also echoed: "Ah Sen is worthy of coming out of the New Arts City, this drama has traces of the small-cost urban comedy of the New Arts City, and the couple of Fat Sister and Uncle Bi is definitely worth watching." ”

This is Gao Zhisen's first work to join Debao, and the director's salary has skyrocketed from 120,000 to 1 million, which not only brings him huge benefits, but also brings him a lot of pressure. As his first film, he spent a lot of thought, found his henchman screenwriter Ma Weihao, and invited wireless screenwriters Li Guoming and Zhou Xuming to jointly create the script of "Rich and Powerful".

Out of prudence, he didn't dare to invest too much, so the film didn't have a luxurious lineup, not even a commercial star with a bit of appeal. Shen Dianbian, Dong Bi, Chen Yishi, Li Lizhen, Guan Peilin, Jiang David, and Zeng Zhiwei constitute the main cast of this play.

It is worth mentioning that Zeng Zhiwei, after being poached by Xinyicheng with a high salary, learned that Debao was filming "Rich and Powerful", and took the initiative to ask for help, and was not paid, in order to make up for the relationship with Debao. Pan Disheng originally didn't plan to agree, but Hong Jinbao was generous and had a good relationship with Zeng Zhiwei, plus Xinyicheng deliberately repaired the relationship with his peers, so Zeng Zhiwei played the role of Xiaokouzu in the film.

Hearing Cen Jianxun and Hong Jinbao's evaluation, Gao Zhisen felt relaxed and looked at Pan Disheng expectantly, waiting for his evaluation.

Pan Disheng's frowning action made his heart tighten, and the next words made him feel relieved.

"I also think it's a very good comedy, and I asked when it's scheduled?"

Cen Jianxun was stunned: "Isn't it scheduled to be released in the new year?" It's been publicized for a long time. ”

Hong Jinbao and Gao Zhisen were also confused, and looked at Pan Disheng suspiciously. The latter hesitated for a moment, and his tone was steep: "Dark Horse International's "God of Gamblers" is also scheduled to be released in Xiaonian. ”

No way......

Cen Jianxun, Hong Jinbao, and Gao Zhisen finally understood Pan Disheng's concerns, and this concern was not unreasonable.

Cen Jianxun said tentatively: "That's a gambling movie." ”

"With an investment of more than 10 million yuan, Chen Ping'an directed it himself, who dares to say that the gambling film must not turn over? Don't forget that the starring roles are Zhou Yanfa, Wang Guxian, and Liu Dehua, all of whom are popular stars of Dark Horse International, and that Ann girl......"

"Also, Chen Ping'an seems to have never missed." Gao Zhisen was deeply impressed by Chen Ping'an. It is said that Dark Horse International stood up by stepping on the corpse of Shaw Brothers, but they ignored that the new art city also gradually declined with the rise of Dark Horse International. He is an old man in Xinyi City, and he knows this very well.

Pan Disheng nodded approvingly: "I received news that "God of Gamblers" is different from the previous gambling film mode, and the staff found it very interesting during the filming process. Therefore, I plan to delay the release of "Rich and Powerful". ”

"I agree." Hung Jinbao supported Pan Disheng's decision. Now that Dark Horse International is in the limelight, it is a good way to stagger the schedule of "God of Gamblers".

Cen Jianxun also has no opinion: "How long is the delay?" I'll arrange for the theater to reschedule the film. ”

Pan Disheng walked to the police flower wall calendar hanging in the office, and after a moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed: "On the 28th, it will be released on Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

Debao decided to postpone the release date of "Rich and Powerful", and at first they were worried that the media said that they were afraid of Dark Horse International and damage Debao's reputation, but within two days they found out that Golden Harvest had also changed the release date of the Chinese New Year film.

Golden Harvest did not delay, but advanced the release date of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" starring Cheng Long and Alan Tam by one day to the 21st, and also staggered the release date of "God of Gamblers".

Only Xinyi City is not afraid and still decides that "Dragon and Tiger" will be released on Chinese New Year's Eve on the 22nd.

In their opinion, even if Chen Ping'an can bring the gambling film back to life, they have no reason to be afraid. "Dragon and Tiger" is directed by Lin Lingdong, co-starring Zhou Yunfa and Li Xiuxian.

Xu Jinheng also specially found a research company to investigate the audience who bought tickets to enter the Golden Princess Cinema, and more than seventy percent of the respondents made it clear that they were more interested in "Dragon and Tiger" co-starred by Zhou Yunfa and Li Xiuxian for the second time than "God of Gamblers" produced by Dark Horse International.

Lin Lingdong is also full of confidence in "Dragon and Tiger", thinking that this movie will not be inferior to "The True Color of Heroes" that year, and he is confident that he will hit the box office champion of the Chinese New Year.

In this case, why should Xinyicheng be afraid of Dark Horse International and deliberately adjust the release time in order to avoid "God of Gamblers"?

In addition, Yang Zhicheng also contacted Chen Ping'an and determined that if the premiere of "Dragon and Tiger" was held on the 21st, Chen Ping'an would arrange for Zhou Yanfa to attend as the starring role, and there was no need to attend the premiere of "God of Gamblers" held on the same day.

Therefore, for the first time in the release dates of the four films in this year's Lunar New Year file, there is a messy situation.

Golden Harvest's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" was released on the 21st; No. 22 Dark Horse International's "God of Gamblers" and Xinyicheng's "Dragon and Tiger" were released at the same time; Debao's "Rich and Powerful" will not be released until the 28th.

Because he was worried about Chen Ping'an's return, Lin Jianyue let people out early, saying that on the 21st, "God of Gamblers" and "Dragon and Tiger" held their premieres at the same time, and Zhou Yanfa would attend the premiere of "Dragon and Tiger" held by Xiaolisheng Cinema.

O fearless to the ignorant!

When the insiders learned about this, they all laughed in their hearts. Last summer, Wang Guxian did not attend the Taiping Theater's "Ghost Fighting Zombies", but attended the premiere of "The Wife Killer Duo" at the Maritime Theater, and Chen Ping'an's sentence "I don't want to find any excuses and reasons after Golden Harvest loses" is still in my ears.

This year's Chinese New Year, "God of Gamblers" and "Dragon and Tiger" were released on the same day, and Zhou Yunfa attended the premiere of "Dragon and Tiger", which is self-evident. Many people are secretly laughing at the ignorance of Xinyicheng, and laughing at Lin Jianyue for worrying that Chen Ping'an will regret and deliberately build momentum.

It's not that Xinyicheng doesn't understand people. For example, Yu Cheng thought of this, but when he saw the self-confident Super Three, he really couldn't muster up the courage to tell the other party the truth.

I hope that it can really be as the three bosses wish, "Dragon and Tiger" will overwhelm "God of Gamblers". R1152
