"The Saint of Gambling" slowly exerted its strength, as Wang Zichuan expected, as soon as the attendance rate came up, it remained high, and some movie tickets have been pre-sold for seven days, and the "Police Story" released by the opponent Golden Harvest Cinema is also full, but the single-day box office was opened by Tengfei Entertainment's "The Saint of Gambling" by more than 600,000.

Half a month after its release, "The Saint of Gambling" has won a total of 28.69 million box office, and the box office of "Police Story" is still hovering at 20.97 million, the gap between the two box office is obvious, according to film critics' estimates, the final box office of "Police Story" will be around 37 million, and the box office of "Saint of Gambling" will break through the 50 million mark.

"The Saint of Gambling" is an independent film released by the Oriental Cinema Line under Tengfei Entertainment, and the final box office really exceeded 50 million, then Hong Kong really ushered in the era of 50 million, a golden age, the market is second only to Hollywood, a metropolis of millions of people, a quarter of the people enter the cinema, a veritable film kingdom.

In the office, Hong Jinbao took a big sip and praised: "The movies produced by Tengfei Entertainment will lead a wave of trends in Hong Kong every time they are released, zombie films, gambling films, hero films, family comedy films, and now filmmakers outside are eyeing Tengfei Entertainment." ”

Wang Zichuan smiled and asked, "What are they staring at Tengfei Entertainment?" And we're not going to pay them. ”

"Ah Chuan, you're really kidding!" Hong Jinbao was excited in his heart, Ah Chuan was really happy, he came over today just to see Wang Zichuan's mood, when "The Saint of Gambling" was a big hit, Wang Zichuan was still depressed, so it would be really dangerous for him to invest that money.

Wang Zichuan didn't guess Hong Jinbao's careful thoughts, and quipped: "Brother Hong, you haven't been to my side for a long time, how can you be free today...... By the way, I heard Zeng Zhiwei mention, do you want to make a film? ”

Hong Jinbao secretly scolded Zeng Zhiwei for talking nonsense, he is now worth tens of thousands of yuan, what kind of film can he make? There's no good excuse for lying.

"That...... Achuan. Let's put the film on hold for the time being, you also know that Zeng Zhiwei and I are now living by drinking porridge, and every day when we go out happily is someone else's treat, and I came here today just to catch up on the old days, and there is no other meaning. ”

Wang Zichuan suddenly found out that Hong Jinbao, who inquired about the news, was known as the big brother of Hong Kong Film Industry, and it seemed that he was also very cautious.

"You're asking about investment, right?"

In one word, Hong Jinbao rubbed his hands in embarrassment. explained: "It's not what I meant, Ah Chuan, I raised the money, a group of brothers and sisters surrounded me all day long and asked questions, I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, no, I really had no choice but to come to investigate the situation, go back and give them an explanation." ”

Wang Zichuan looked worried. Mingyan said: "Brother Hong, I only agreed to help them for the sake of your face, if it makes a storm in the city because of this, this is not the original intention." It's very likely that it will fall short, and you go back and tell them more, and if you regret it, I can return the money now. ”

"Achuan. You're mistaken, that's not what they meant. Hong Jinbao lamented, he was kind-hearted. "Don't worry, my brothers don't know about it, and I don't plan to sue them." ”

After Wang Zichuan beat Hong Jinbao, he immediately gave a sweet date, and said with a smile: "I also know who you are, if someone asks me so, I will immediately break off friendship with him, I don't even have the most basic trust, and I still have to be a friend, now I can also make a guarantee, I will never lose my eldest brother, I just don't make a penny, and I have to plug the hole." ”

Hong Jinbao was moved and awkward, and said, "Ah Chuan, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

Wang Zichuan pondered for a while and asked, "Just now the eldest brother said that there is no schedule this year?" ”

Hong Jinbao replied: "Except for a film contract with Golden Harvest, I am idle, and Lin Zhengying originally invited me to jointly produce a fantasy film, but I also refused." ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "That's great, I'm worried that there is no suitable director for this year's Chinese New Year film, and I will hand it over to you to direct "Let the Bullets Fly", I can rest assured, this is a film with an investment of 10 million, and it is the first time to shoot in Tengfei Entertainment Film and Television City." ”

Hong Jinbao pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed, nodded and said: "Since they are all Chinese New Year films, then I will go back and push the contract of Golden Harvest and concentrate on directing the film of Tengfei Entertainment, after all, I am also a member of the company, and I am only sorry for Ah Long." ”

Wang Zichuan reminded: "Let the Bullets Fly" is a film with the theme of the Republic of China, Xu Ke has studied this period very much, "Dao Ma Dan" has done a good job, I asked him to be your producer, Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Di are used for martial arts instructors, and Zeng Zhiwei is still used as the assistant director, he is clever." ”

"With this lineup, it will not lose to Golden Harvest and New Art City!" Hong Jinbao is secretly envious, in the end, it is a big company, and it is such a luxurious lineup as soon as it is shot, and any person can be in charge alone.

Wang Zichuan complimented: "These people are mixed together, and only the senior brother can handle it." ”

"Huh...... You also think too highly of me, Yuan Di, Cheng Xiaodong, and Zeng Zhiwei have no problem, Xu Ke I have worked with him once, and he has a very strong temper. Hong Jinbao's face was full of red light, his mouth was modest, and he was still very proud in his heart.

Wang Zichuan secretly laughed and said: "I will hand over the script to you next month, you can discuss it with them, there is still half a year before the New Year, and there is absolutely plenty of time." ”

Hong Jinbao said tentatively: "Ah Chuan, is the starring role decided?" ”

Now Tengfei Entertainment knows that Wang Zichuan has a hobby and likes to choose the starring role, no matter whose film it is, as long as he gets Wang Zichuan here, he can't escape this ending, "Let the Bullets Fly" is a big production, Tengfei Entertainment has high hopes, if the film is messed up because of the role, it will be too wronged.

Wang Zichuan said smugly: "This is also a man's play, the main villain is Zhou Runfa, and there are two more to be determined." ”

Hong Jinbao was slightly relieved, and there was a chance to be determined, and asked: "What is the character's personality like?" ”

Wang Zichuan did not doubt that he had him, and replied: "One is a military advisor, a type of oily head and a slippery brain, a little smart, but he is also very timid, it is best to cause laughter as soon as he appears, and the other is the male protagonist, although he is a bandit, but he is full of righteousness, leading his subordinates to rob the rich and help the poor, and in the film, he fights wits and courage with the villain, and finally wins." ”

Hong Jinbao thought about it quickly, he wanted to set the role of the film according to his own ideas, and said: "I think of one of the roles of the military advisor!" ”

"Who?" Wang Zichuan's eyes widened, he had been thinking about this role for many months, Ge You played it so well, he couldn't find an actor comparable to Master Ge.

Hong Jinbao smiled: "It's the bald guy in Xinyi City!" ”

"Bald?" Wang Zichuan compared the image of Mecca with Ge You, crying and laughing, both of them are bald?

"I think that as soon as the bald guy appears on the screen, he can make the audience laugh without speaking, and "Best Partner" can be used as a reference." Hong Jinbao supported his friend.

Wang Zichuan closed his eyes and pondered, substituting the image of the bald man into the film, how would Mecca play the role of a military advisor, and what is the difference between it and Master Ge, the role of a military advisor is still very important.

Hong Jinbao was puzzled: "In addition to Mecca, there are several suitable actors in Hong Kong, but they lack box office appeal, we don't make zuò films for the box office, "Best Partner" is very famous in Europe and the United States. ”

The last sentence persuaded Wang Zichuan that he also wanted to sell "Let the Bullets Fly" to Europe and the United States.

"Okay, let's make sure that Mecca will play the role first."

Hong Jinbao smiled: "I'll go and persuade him, Mecca is from Xinyi City, I'm worried about ......"

"No worries at all! The bald guy will definitely say yes. Wang Zichuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, Mecca still has hundreds of millions of funds wandering in the stock market, compared with the view of the portal, he should be more interested in his family property.

Hong Jinbao was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Then it's no problem, Mecca and I try our best to adjust the filming time of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Best Partner", so that the schedule will not be delayed, Ah Chuan, and there is a leading actor ......"

Wang Zichuan interrupted: "I plan to use Liu Dehua as the actor, he has signed a contract with Tengfei Entertainment a few days ago. ”

Hong Jinbao was disappointed, and sure enough, Wang Zichuan finalized the leading role, and worried: "Will Liu Dehua be too immature, such a big system, he can play a supporting role." ”

Wang Zichuan said: "I plan to focus on cultivating Andy, he has great potential, and I also believe that he can succeed." ”

Hong Jinbao opened his mouth and sighed: "Okay, but Zhou Runfa's side, Ah Chuan, you also have to persuade him, he is a villain after all, I am worried that he will not agree with this role, Zhou Runfa is very popular, and he appears as a hero on the screen." ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "I have also considered this point, I have modified the image of the villain, not the kind of person who is a big traitor, the position is different, the consideration is naturally different, standing in the position of the poor public, Zhou Yunfa is the villain, standing in the position of the rich, Liu Dehua is the villain." ”

"Huh...... It's new! "Hong Jinbao can already roughly imagine the script, which is nothing more than a story of a bandit united with military divisions to fight the landlord and finally achieve victory.

Wang Zichuan said: "I have all the props for the film, and as for the framing, I want to arrange the crew to the mainland." ”

Hong Jinbao's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Isn't it too dangerous to go over there?" ”

Wang Zichuan was puzzled: "What's the danger, the security over there is much better than in Hong Kong, it's just filming, and most of the time it's still filming in the film and television city." ”

Hong Jinbao worried: "There is no problem on the Taiwan side, right?" ”

Wang Zichuan smiled evilly: "Then do it secretly, we are filming in the film and television city with great fanfare, and at the same time filming Xu Ke to the mainland." ”

"How can this be hidden?" Hong Jinbao couldn't cry or laugh.

Wang Zichuan said: "I naturally have a way to make Taiwan turn a blind eye, and the superficial work has to be done." ”

Hong Jinbao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately thought that Wang Zichuan was going to use crooked methods, and he didn't want to continue talking, and said, "Ah Chuan, I'll go back and sort out my thoughts first." ”

Wang Zichuan sent Hong Jinbao out of the door and reminded: "You come to me next month to get the script." (To be continued......)
