Zhang Yimou came to the door by himself, and wanted New Asia to invest in "Qin Warriors", how could Lin Xiaozhi miss such a good thing.

agreed on the spot, and made an appointment with Zhang Yimou, waiting for him and director Cheng Xiaodong to come to the door to negotiate the film investment with New Asia in detail.

On the 14th, after more than half a year of preparation, Wang Jing joined hands with Zhou Runfa, known as the fairy hair, Zhang Le, Liu Dehua, Wang Xianxian and many other Hong Kong first- and second-tier red stars, and the latest masterpiece "God of Gamblers" jointly filmed is finally about to be released. After a month of publicity, today's "God of Gamblers" is known to everyone in Hong Kong, especially after the end of the release of New Asia's "Killer Leon", the three major film giants in Hong Kong have not made any moves in this tail market, and "God of Gamblers" is even more in the limelight for a while, and it has the potential to sweep Hong Kong.

Lin Xiaozhi also didn't know what means Yongsheng used behind him, but he was able to persuade Jiahe and Debao to screen Wang Jing's movie together. However, it is precisely because of Yongsheng's means that more than 60 theaters will be released at the premiere of "God of Gamblers", and if you count other private theaters, the theater chain of "God of Gamblers" may have exceeded one-third of all cinemas in Hong Kong.

The momentum of an unreleased movie can reach this scale, which is unprecedented, and it is also thanks to the fact that the three giants of Hong Kong films have reduced production this year, and no one has competed in the market at the end of 89. If it weren't for the impact on many cinema chains in Hong Kong this year, and their performance was not guaranteed, it would be difficult for this kind of joint scale to appear. In the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to have it again.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Yongsheng did not hold a midnight test screening for "God of Gamblers", but chose to release it directly. However, even if there is no word-of-mouth publicity for the midnight preview screening, and the first day of release is Thursday, the popularity of the box office on the first day of "God of Gamblers" still shocked the whole Hong Kong, with more than 20 theaters occupancy close to 90%, and the seven theaters located in the bustling urban area are even fuller.

On the second day, as soon as the box office of "God of Gamblers" came out on the first day, the Hong Kong media closed it together, and after Lin Xiaozhi saw it in the newspaper, he also sighed, and I don't know whether Lu Dao sighed and was sad about passing by such a classic, or something else.

On the second day, as soon as the box office of "God of Gamblers" came out on the first day, the Hong Kong media closed it together, and after Lin Xiaozhi saw it in the newspaper, he also sighed, and I don't know whether Lu Dao sighed and was sad about passing by such a classic, or something else.

l million

This is the first-day result of "God of Gamblers", which not only refreshed the first day of release of Hong Kong films, but also only a difference of more than 100,000, only a little worse than the single-day box office of 590,000 created by "Eight Star Annunciation" last year. Judging from the results handed over on the first day of "God of Gamblers", no one doubts what height this movie will be able to reach.

Started at the end of October, and after more than a month of filming, Liu Zhenwei's "Silly Birthday" was finally announced to be completed halfway through December, and entered the intense and busy post-production stage. If you hurry up, it is likely that you will be able to land on the Chinese New Year file in January next year to meet the audience. At this time, in order to avoid colliding with "God of Gamblers", which had just been released, Lin Xiaozhi did not require too much speed for the post-production of "Silly Birthday". With the current limelight of "God of Gamblers", not only can no one stop its glory in the end of this year, but also New Asia's "Killer Leon" can't just look at the Hong Kong box office, I'm afraid that in the first half of January next year, the whole Hong Kong will be shrouded in the domineering impact of "God of Gamblers", and no one will be able to compete with it.

At the beginning, it landed in one-third of Hong Kong's theaters and was not necessarily all good, it was too violent, it was very likely to be like New Asia's "Killer Leon", which exhausted all the audience's enthusiasm in five weeks, far less than Cheng Long's "Miracle", which took two months to be released. The movie "Silly Guy's Birthday", it is not surprising that New Asia will arrange for it to be released in mid-to-late January. Seeing how fierce it is now, in a month's time, this momentum can be almost worn out.

In next year's Chinese New Year, the biggest variable is "God of Gamblers", and there are three other movies with high expectations, namely "Jixing Gongzhao" by Xinyicheng, "Rich Corps" by Hung Jinbao and "Three People in the New World" by Debao, but Xinya has not taken these three movies too seriously.

Xinyicheng's "Jixing Gongzhao" focuses on the modern love drama of "Prince" and "Cinderella", although Zhou Yunfa and Zhang Aijia were invited, but the film investment is said to be only seven or eight million, and the story script is not new, although the audience's expectations are high, the box office may not be high.

Hung Jinbao's "Rich Corps" is not only star-studded, but the investment is also expensive, but the Hong Kong screenwriter's attitude of not daring to face up to the war and spoofing any history may not necessarily be bought by the audience. Hong Kong also experienced the Japanese occupation, and the brutality of Japan is still fresh in the memory of the older generation, so it is difficult to say whether Hung Jinbao's investment can make money.

Debao's "Three People in the New World" is the sequel to last year's "Three People in the World", last year Debao borrowed the king of the music world, Lin Zishen, to shoot a small fire "Three People in the World". This year's famous brand king Pan Disheng is unwilling to allocate money, and at the end of the year, there is no money to shoot any big scenes and big investment in the New Year drama, Debao Yu Crisp pulled the original team back, and Debao President Xian Qiran personally went into battle to make a sequel to deal with next year's New Year. His own attitude is not enough to pay attention to it, and New Asia is not afraid of Debao, but it seems that Debao is also preparing to arrange this newly completed film to be released at the end of January next year, which may affect New Asia's film schedule.

Around October this year, New Asia invested in the filming of a total of three films. Liu Zhenwei, the director of "Silly Guy's Birthday", is a fast gunner, compared with it, the shooting speed of "A Comic Book Goes to the World" directed by Liang Jiaren is much slower, this movie is still being filmed, according to the latest feedback from the crew, it has just completed about seventy or eighty percent of the shooting, and it is expected that all the filming will have to wait until the end of the month or even the beginning of January next year, and it may be February or March when it is released.

Liang Jiaren's speed is very slow, and He Fan is even slower than him. "Cheating Treasure" is a new script given to him by Lin Xiaozhi, because it is the first work directed by He Fan in recent years with an investment of more than 5 million, he filmed very carefully. The idea for this film comes from the classic Chinese Fengyue novel "Meat. Cattail. Tuan", unfortunately, He Fan also filmed a movie adapted from it in the RU year. At that time, the box office of that movie was not ideal, which was also a very important reason, which made him slow down the filming speed, ready to work slowly, and prepare to make a Fengyue film classic according to the novel script given to him by Lin Xiaozhi.

Although everyone guessed that "God of Gamblers" would be very popular, no one dared to imagine how popular it really was, except for Lin Xiaozhi. Therefore, when the box office of "God of Gamblers" broke two million on Friday to reach 2.35 million box office, and the box office on Saturday was as high as 50,000, creating the highest single-day box office of a Hong Kong film, and this record was only maintained for one day, and it was broken by itself with a single-day box office of 40,000 Hong Kong dollars on the second day. The entire Hong Kong film industry, and even the entire Hong Kong entertainment media, were shocked.

"I said it earlier, I learned a lot from "The Supreme", hey, will bring a classic to the audience"

In the newspaper, as the director of "God of Gamblers", Wang Jing surpassed Lin Xiaozhi, who had brought a huge sensation to Hong Kong a month ago, and became the hottest and most popular director synonymous with the current Hong Kong film circle, and the center of another topic.

This passage of his was written in the newspaper in its original form. If it had been a month ago, I am afraid that there would have been people who would have questioned it, but now no one will question or dare to doubt his words. In just four days after its release, the total box office of "God of Gamblers" exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and in front of the fastest box office of this Hong Kong film since its birth, even God must lose his voice.

"A wonderful, interesting, wonderful movie that people can't help but want to watch again after watching it for the first time, Fa Ge is good" - "Oriental Daily"

"After "The True Color of Heroes", Zhou Runfa has the best commercial film." ——Cheng Pao

"The fairy hair made the whole of Hong Kong tremble, and Wang Jing made a good movie" - "Ming Pao"

"Some people say that it takes a year of sluggish box office to get a "God of Gamblers", and we are willing to be sluggish at the box office every year" - "Sing Tao Daily"

Lin Xiaozhi threw the newspaper on the coffee table, stretched his waist before standing up, made himself a cup of black tea, frowned after drinking a cup, looked at the teacup in his hand, and put it on the coffee table.

Two days ago, Zhou Huimin asked the company for half a month's vacation, but this time she didn't dare to call Lin Xiaozhi, but directly called the secretariat to Assistant Wu. It is said that her grandmother has recovered well after the operation, Lin Xiaozhi has been paying the medical expenses of the two, and it is also arranged in the special assistant ward as required by the hospital, and there is a special assistant to take care of it, and the body is recovering day by day, and it will be almost the same as recovery in two or three months at most. And her mother, after a few months of recuperation, can now be discharged from the hospital and go home. However, it has been a hundred days since the muscles and bones were broken, and Zhou's mother is sixty years old, and her recovery ability is not as good as that of a young person, so she can only remove the cream before and after the Spring Festival.

Zhou Huimin seemed to be avoiding him, he also went to the hospital twice before and after, and even called her to inform her, but he didn't see her. However, from Assistant Wu, he also learned about her current situation, now Zhou's mother has been able to get out of bed to do some simple work, and after a week of observation, if there is no problem, the old lady can also be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate, which is also the relationship that she only renewed for half a month's vacation.

She will be back soon, which makes Lin Xiaozhi's mood a little better. After a period of contemplation, Lin Xiaozhi has realized that he may have made the same mistake as many men, and has a good impression of the woman who has been with him day and night for more than a year. If he was the same reality before, I'm afraid this feeling will soon be suppressed by himself. But the success of more than a year after being reborn has also made him more and more confident, and what he likes should stay by his side instead of choosing to give up, Zhou Huimin will avoid him, and from this point of view, she may not have feelings for him.

Old friend Wu Mengda has been walking between two women for more than a year, which also gave him the illusion that maybe he couldn't bring happiness to her and Li Jiaxin by keeping her by his side

"Jingle Bell ......"

The sudden ringing of the phone woke up Lin Xiaozhi in his reverie.

Lin Xiaozhi shook his head, and temporarily shook the ridiculous thought that had just popped up in his head to the back of his head.

"Hey ......"

picked up the phone on the coffee table, and before Lin Xiaozhi could ask who it was, a familiar male voice rang on the other side of the phone.

"Lin Dong, it's me Zhu Zhishan. I have just contacted Miss Zhang Aijia and have already received a reply. Her agent directly rejected our invitation, I inquired, not only us, after filming "Ji Xing Gong Zhao" for Xinyi City, her agent has replied to all the film and endorsement invitations......

It's Zhu Zhishan, after Chen Qiang came back from the UK, he and Zhu Zhishan were busy in the company, Lin Xiaozhi has only been going to the company in the morning recently, and he will leave around noon, either choosing to go home to retreat and create new movie scripts, or go to the company's several crews that are filming movies.

"What's the matter, Zhang Aijia refused?"

Lin Xiaozhi was a little surprised, Zhang Aijia is the director of the three who he thinks is most likely to take over the play "Love Letter", she is not only a workaholic, but also very bold. Lin Xiaozhi wanted Huang Baiming, who had a good personal relationship with her, to convey this intention to Zhang Aijia on his behalf, but after Huang Baiming answered his call, he refused directly in a strange tone. and also persuaded him not to bother Zhang Aijia recently, and he didn't even say much if he asked him repeatedly, obviously Huang Baiming knew something.

Lin Xiaozhi didn't believe in evil, and after being rejected by him, Yu Crisp asked Zhu Zhishan to contact her agent in person, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

"Lin Dong, she refused. I think I'd better contact the next candidate, you probably have read the recent news, and I also think it's a little difficult to invite Zhang Aijia."

On the other side of the phone, Zhu Zhishan suddenly said a strange word, which made Lin Xiaozhi confused for a long time, and hurriedly frowned and asked, "What news?" ”

"Huh...... Lin Dong, haven't you read the recent news? "Oriental Daily" reported a week ago that someone photographed Zhang Aijia disguised herself and went to the maternal and child health hospital for treatment, and entered the obstetrics and gynecology department...... There is gossip news that says Zhang Aijia is pregnant......"

"What" Zhu Zhishan's revelations surprised Lin Xiaozhi, he has been busy writing new scripts recently, and the entertainment pages of the news newspapers are full of reports about the box office of "God of Gamblers", but most of them are only roughly flipped over, but he didn't read them carefully.

In the eyes of many people, Zhang Aijia is a perfect woman, not only an excellent singer and actress, but also the most famous female director, screenwriter and producer in Hong Kong. She married Liu Youlin, the Hong Kong bureau chief of the Associated Press, in 1979, with a 16-year difference and divorced in 19, and according to legend, it was this perfect woman who had an affair with director Yang Dechang. However, none of the parties have admitted it, no one knows whether Lu Dao is true or not, only that soon after Lu Dao's 8-year divorce, Zhang Aijia and the well-known Taiwanese singer Luo Dayou came together and fell in love for more than a year.

“… Actually, I don't know if it's true or not, but I forgot which issue of the newspaper I was in before, and I saw someone break the news that Zhang Aijia and a wealthy Taiwanese businessman had recently gotten very close, and they were also taken a few photos by Yu Ji. I don't know if it's true or not......"

Lin Xiaozhi frowned, he was in no mood to care about this gossip. The current situation is that Zhang Aijia is pregnant or for some other reason, but it is a fact that she is unwilling to take on Xinya's new drama. Then you can only change to other directors.

"Since she can't do it, forget it, you can contact the other two to take a look."

"Okay, I'll contact Xu Anhua immediately"

Zhu Zhishan hung up the phone and immediately went to contact Xu Anhua. However, this time his speed was faster than contacting Zhang Aijia's side, and when Zhang Aijia replied in the afternoon, he dialed Lin Xiaozhi's phone, "Lin Dong, Xu Anhua's side is not good."

"How ......"

was rejected by a director he fancied again, and Lin Xiaozhi couldn't sit still, "What's wrong with her side?" ”

"Xu Anhua is recently in charge of the filming of the movie "Autumn Hate of the Journey", saying that this movie may not be completed until January or February next year, and there is no way to take our movie"

Lin Xiaozhi has heard of the movie "Autumn Hate in the Journey", which is said to be a semi-autobiographical work written and directed by Xu Anhua, which tells the mother-daughter experience from her real life experience. Lin Xiaozhi had heard that she was sponsoring the filming before, but it was already the beginning of the year, but I didn't expect her to delay it for so long, and the filming was not completed.

"Trouble is coming" he said with a headache: "You hurry up and contact Zhang Wanting, you must take her down"
