Gao Jin is a well-known gambling god in the world, because he accepted the invitation of a Japanese gangster celebrity to go up the mountain, and Singapore's gambling king Chen Jincheng is known as the gambling king at the table in a decisive battle, but before the decisive battle, he inadvertently stepped into a long-planned trap, fell down the hill, although he was lucky not to die, but lost his memory.

After Gao Jin lost his memory, he lived in the house of the little ** knife boy, and the girlfriend of the knife boy Ah Zhen took good care of him. Later, Dao Tsai accidentally discovered that Gao Jin, who had lost his memory, actually had very superb gambling skills, so he tried to get Gao Jin to teach him gambling skills, from which he benefited and suffered.

Gao Jin's cousin Gao Yi drunkenly broke into Gao Jin's girlfriend Janet's room with the intention of **, but accidentally killed Janet, and then sent someone to kill Gao Jin.

At this time, the time for Gao Jin and Chen Jincheng to fight finally came, and as a result, he was superior to Chen Jincheng, and used Chen Jincheng's mark on poker to defeat Chen Jincheng in a calculated manner. At the same time, he also exposed Gao Yi's ugly face, and with the help of Long Wu, he defeated the villain and avenged the feud on the mountain......

The whole film has an in-depth portrayal of the relationship between the characters, such as the seventh girl's love for Gao Jin since she was a child, the jealousy of her senior brother Gao Jin, and the recognition of heroes and heroes between Long Wu and Gao Jin, etc., are all described vividly and hierarchically, but this is only the basis of the film.

What really opened the audience's eyes was those colorful and diverse dazzling gambling techniques, so much so that the film critic of Hong Kong's authoritative film magazine "Film Fortnightly" boldly said in an interview with reporters after the film that "God of Gamblers" will create a gambling boom, which will be the second time that Tang Dynasty films have led the film trend after "The True Color of Heroes" created the trend of gangster "heroes". And the film critic also highly praised Zhou Runfa's performance in the film, saying that the role of Gao Jin has been interpreted by Zhou Yunfa to the fullest.

Gu Chen came to Tang Dynasty Movies in the afternoon, and when he listened to Zeng Zhiwei's reaction to the premiere after the premiere, there was no surprise on his face, as if everything had been expected, he just smiled slightly, and then said: "The one from "Movie Love Biweekly" is right, but it is the trend to say that it sounds good, and it is to follow the trend if it is not good, if I remember correctly, since the broadcast of "The True Color of Heroes", other film companies have started filming many similar movies, and another one was released in Tang Dynasty theaters a few days ago, However, the box office does not seem to be doing well. A movie like this is a blockbuster, and there will be countless movies that follow the trend, until the theme is bad and then another one continues to follow the trend, which is a vicious circle, which will only make Hong Kong movies stand still. ”

"Don't look at the current Hong Kong films in Southeast Asia, this is because the film industry in other Asian countries is weaker, and Hollywood does not pay much attention to the Hong Kong market. If this habit is not changed, let alone let Hong Kong really go to the world, at most ten years later, Hong Kong films will inevitably decline. ”

Zeng Zhiwei still felt that what Gu Chen said was a bit alarmist at the beginning, but if you think about it carefully, there is really some truth, if the vast majority of film companies are only keen to follow the trend, then it will inevitably lead to a result, that is, the innovation ability of the entire industry will decline, and after a long time, Hong Kong citizens will slowly lose patience and trust in local films. If there are foreign films taking advantage of the situation to seize the Hong Kong film market at this time, then the blow to Hong Kong films will undoubtedly be fatal, but it is ...... He shook his head and said, "I admit that what you said has a point, but this situation did not happen overnight, and it is not so easy to change. ”

Gu Chen's fingers tapped on the desk one by one, and said with a smile on his face: "Actually, it's very simple to change this situation. ”

Seeing Zeng Zhiwei's disbelief, Gu Chen asked a question: "If the production cost of a movie increases from the current mainstream of three or four million to twenty or thirty million, or even higher, how many film companies do you think can follow suit, and how many film companies dare to follow suit." ”

Zeng Zhiwei just wanted to say that it is difficult for a film with an investment of 20 or 30 million yuan to recover its cost in Hong Kong, and no company will invest at all, Gu Chen has already spoken first: "I know what you want to say, the box office of Hong Kong movies can exceed 20 million, and there are only the first few films every year, and it is indeed difficult to recover the cost of an investment of 20 or 30 million, but we can increase box office revenue by raising movie ticket prices." ”

"In recent years, Hong Kong's economic development has been very fast, and the income of the people is more than before, and I think the vast majority of Hong Kong people can accept the appropriate adjustment of fares according to the amount of investment. Of course, it's not that you can spend so much money, but you have to spend the money in practice, the audience is not a fool, how much money is invested in a movie, as long as you watch it, you can basically guess a rough idea, you don't reflect the value of the film, even if you really invest so much money, the audience still doesn't buy it. The value here is not directly related to the popularity of the film. ”

"Okay, now it's time to talk about how to put that money to good use. You've probably seen the Star Wars movie series, where a large number of realistic and shocking computer special effects have created hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, and it has created a milestone in the history of cinema. ”

"Since "Star Wars", adding a lot of special effects to movies has become the mainstream of Hollywood films, and it has quickly spread to all parts of the world and become a concrete embodiment of American culture. It's just that any shot of this kind of special effects movie may cost tens or hundreds or even tens of millions, to put it mildly, one or two minutes of special effects shots is worth the total investment of one of our films. ”

"Speaking of which, you should know what I mean, to put it mildly, investing a lot of money in special effects movies can completely avoid other film companies following suit; In the long run, with the improvement of social culture, scientific and technological level and audience appreciation level, the traditional production mode of film will gradually decline, which is the inevitable progress of society. Big-budget movies with special effects as the main body will become mainstream. ”

"If Hong Kong films want to have the strength to compete with Hollywood, they must change the current traditional production model of small-budget films to large-budget films, otherwise they will only continue to lose under the impact of Hollywood films in the future. Of course, I'm not saying that movies with traditional production models will completely lose the market, and some really good traditional production films will still be welcomed and liked by the audience. ”

Gu Chen's words brought Zeng Zhiwei a lot of food for thought, and he couldn't help but ask: "So the Tang Dynasty special effects you founded?" ”

Gu Chen said angrily: "Otherwise? Do you think I invested so much money and spent so much energy on Tang Dynasty special effects for fun? ”

Tang Dynasty Special Effects Company can be said to be the least eye-catching of all the companies under Gu Chen's name, but in fact, Tang Dynasty Special Effects is the company that Gu Chen has invested the most money in, and since its establishment more than a month ago, the company has not only purchased the most advanced instruments and equipment in the current world.

The personnel has also rapidly expanded from the original commander Zhao Tianqi to more than 50 people, most of whom are students who have just graduated from famous universities in Europe and the United States, both white and Chinese, and only a small number of them are recruited by other companies, including two senior technicians from Industrial Light and Magic.

In addition, Gu Chen will go to the Tang Dynasty special effects as long as he is free, and when communicating with the technical personnel, he focuses on some concepts and development trends of future film special effects in his memory, although he is not very professional, but the technical personnel of the Tang Dynasty special effects are all professional, and they can often get some inspiration from his words. In this way, it attracted the admiration of many people.

Zeng Zhiwei laughed dryly, that is, he did not agree with Gu Chen's words or refute them, but changed the topic and said: "The box office on the first day can come out tomorrow, and it is expected that it will not be lower than "The True Color of Heroes", I want to hold a celebration party in advance tomorrow night, so that it can also create momentum for the reinvention of the movie." ”

Seeing that Zeng Zhiwei didn't seem to take what he said to heart too much, Gu Chen didn't say anything more, the reason why he suddenly said these words today was just a whim, and he wanted Zeng Zhiwei to be mentally prepared in advance: "You can just make up your own mind about this kind of thing, set a place to inform me, and I will go when I have time." ”

Zeng Zhiwei said "It's good", got up and was about to leave, when Gu Chen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped Zeng Zhiwei, then opened the drawer, took out a document from it and put it on the table in front of Zeng Zhiwei, and said: You can take this script and take a look, if the schedule of the director and actors is okay, let's start preparations in the near future. ”

Zeng Zhiwei opened the file and looked at the title of the script "Double Dragon Club", and then he didn't read the content, he turned directly to the last page, and saw that it said director Lin Lingdong, male protagonist Cheng Long, Teddy Robin, heroine Li Zhi and Zhang Manyu, his brows immediately wrinkled, and said: "Other people can say it as long as there is no problem with the schedule, but Cheng Long, you know the truth, he is a person from Jiahe, and if you want to find him to film, Jiahe may not be willing to let go." ”

In response to this, Gu Chen had already thought of a solution: "This is easy to do, if Jiahe is willing, you can follow the cooperation with Yongsheng, and both parties will contribute half of the capital." After all, the Hong Kong film industry is a place where all parties are intricately intertwined, and it may not be a good thing for us to always eat alone. ”

Zeng Zhiwei nodded approvingly and said, "If that's the case, it should be fine." After speaking, he looked down at the list again, and involuntarily showed a meaningful smile on his face: "This Lizhi should be the champion of the Asian sister, right?" ”
