In order to achieve the purpose of hype, but also in order to narrow the relationship with the media, the celebration banquet of "God of Gamblers" invited many entertainment reporters, and when there was still half an hour before the banquet began, all the invited reporters were almost there, but when they entered the banquet hall, they all consciously handed over the cameras to the staff at the door, and made a registration, they came to the banquet today, not to interview, no one would be so uninteresting to bring the camera into the banquet hall, This can be regarded as a rule that does not become a rule in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

As the time approached, the main staff and creators of the "God of Gamblers" crew gradually arrived, and the banquet hall gradually became lively, in fact, the banquet should have started at this time, but it was not yet at the specified time, I saw Zhou Yunfa holding a glass of red wine in one hand and his girlfriend Chen Huilian in the other hand and walking towards Wang Jing, who had just walked into the banquet hall: "Director Wang, you look good today." ”

Wang Jing took a glass of red wine from the tray in the hand of the waiter next to him and touched it lightly with Zhou Yanfa, his usual obscene smile appeared on his face, and a pair of small eyes behind the glasses were almost invisible: "How can you compare to Brother Fa, not to mention the previous "True Colors of Heroes", judging from yesterday's situation, the box office of "God of Gamblers" should be good, today's celebration banquet can explain a lot of problems, two consecutive works are box office hits, I think your nickname of "poison hair" will become "fairy hair" after today." ”

These words happened to be heard by a reporter passing by, and the reporter's eyes suddenly lit up, and a special report on the legendary interpretation experience of Zhou Yan since his debut, from man to god, and then from god to man, and finally from man to god, began to brew in the reporter's heart.

Zhou Yunfa smiled humbly and said: "It doesn't matter if Director Wang says this, don't spread the word, the biggest credit for the success of "The True Color of Heroes" and "God of Gamblers" lies with Ah Chen. And you can't forget your roots, if Ah Chen hadn't invited me to shoot "The True Colors of Heroes", maybe I would still be the 'poison hair' that everyone avoids, how can I be as beautiful as I am now. ”

Wang Jing said matter-of-factly: "You don't have to be presumptuous, Chen Shao's script creation level is the same as his songwriting level, it is indeed very powerful, but your performance in these two movies is obvious to all, in terms of acting skills, Hong Kong actors cannot find anyone who can surpass you for the time being." ”

Zhou Yanfa touched the glass with Wang Jing again, and said with a smile: "I will be proud if you praise me like this." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jing also laughed. At this time, there was a noise at the door of the banquet hall, Zhou Yunfa and Wang Jingjing turned their heads to look over, but saw Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a white touch-down bandeau dress, holding Wu Siyuan's hand and walking in.

Zeng Zhiwei went up and shook hands with Wu Siyuan, expressed his welcome, and then looked at his watch, it was already time for the banquet to start, but Gu Chen hadn't arrived yet, he was thinking about whether to make a call to Gu Chen, when he saw the elevator door open, and Gu Chen, who was dressed in a black casual suit, walked out of the elevator.

As soon as Gu Chen stepped out of the elevator, he saw Zeng Zhiwei standing at the door of the hall and Wu Siyuan not far from Zeng Zhiwei, and the other party also saw him at this time, he immediately walked over with a smile, held Wu Siyuan's hand, and said, "I haven't seen Mr. Wu for a while, I have to have a good chat tonight." ”

Wu Siyuan was a little puzzled by Gu Chen's enthusiastic attitude, and thought it was because Guan Zhilin starred in "God of Gamblers", so he also smiled and said: "Who in Hong Kong doesn't know that Lu Daochen is a big expert in movies, and I can't ask for it if I can talk to you." ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly, and shook Guan Zhilin's hand again, "Miss Guan is fortunate to meet." At this time, his gaze suddenly crossed Guan Zhilin and fell on a man in his 30s wearing a black suit, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, but the smile on his face was even stronger.

Guan Zhilin returned with a reserved smile, as if she wanted to say something, but Gu Chen had already withdrawn her hand and said, "The two of you, please, I'll be with you first." ”

After speaking, Gu Chen sat down and made a gesture of please, and then walked towards the man in the suit, Guan Zhilin's face that was still smiling instantly turned cold, and she was ignored, ignored naked, she was ignored like this for the first time since she was older, staring at Gu Chen with hatred, and when she saw Gu Chen and the man who looked very faced, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

Now in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Gu Chen can be personally entertained at least has a certain status, and she has debuted for so many years, and she has basically known everyone in the entertainment industry, even if she has never seen it, she has seen photos from various ways, but she has no impression of this man in a suit, so she asked Wu Siyuan softly: "Godfather, who is that man, Chen Shao seems to have a good chat with him." ”

Wu Siyuan glanced in Gu Chen's direction and said, "His name is Lei Wenjun, he is Lei Juekun's second son, and he is currently the deputy general manager of the Golden Princess Cinema Line. After a pause, Wu Siyuan said again: "The films of the Tang Dynasty movies are all released at the same time in the Tang Dynasty Cinema and the Golden Princess Cinema, and it is not surprising that Lei Wenjun will appear here, but although he is the deputy general manager of the Golden Princess Cinema, I heard that the ambition of this second son of Lei is not in the movie, and it is completely Lei Juekun's arrangement that he will be the vice president of the Golden Princess, and I think Lei Juekun wants him to take over." ”

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." Zeng Zhiwei's unique voice sounded on the innermost stage of the banquet hall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, Zeng Zhiwei cleared his throat and continued: "First of all, thank you very much for coming to the celebration banquet of today's movie "God of Gamblers", some people may say that the movie was only released yesterday and the celebration banquet is too early today? It's a bit early from a general point of view, but nothing is absolute, just like today, here I want to announce a data, the box office of "God of Gamblers" on the first day was 2.73 million, I think this data is enough to explain anything, including today's celebration banquet. ”

Although it is already known that the box office of "God of Gamblers" on the first day must be very high, when Zeng Zhiwei said the specific data, it still attracted many exclamations, you must know that this data is higher than the original "True Colors of Heroes", and the total box office of "True Colors of Heroes" in Hong Kong is only a few hundred thousand short of breaking 40 million, which means that "God of Gamblers" is very likely to become the first film in Hong Kong film history to exceed 40 million.

Zeng Zhiwei on the stage was quite high-spirited: "There is no doubt that I am full of confidence in "God of Gamblers", because "God of Gamblers" is impeccable in terms of script, actor performance and theme innovation, and I think every audience who walks into the cinema will not regret it." ”

After Zeng Zhiwei's brief speech, Gu Chen did not take the stage to speak as those reporters expected.

The dinner officially opened, the dinner was a Western-style buffet, all kinds of food were served by the waiter, and the atmosphere of the celebration banquet suddenly reached the top, with a plate full of delicious food in hand, or gathered together to chat, or sat alone and leisurely......

Gu Chen found Wu Siyuan, who was chatting with Zeng Zhiwei, with a glass of red wine, probably seeing that Gu Chen had something to say to Wu Siyuan, Zeng Zhiwei left after a while, and then Gu Chen made a gesture of invitation to the corner where there were fewer people, and when the two sat down on the sofa in the corner, Gu Chen gestured to Wu Siyuan with a wine glass, and then asked: "I don't know what Mr. Wu thinks about the future of Tang Dynasty films?" ”

Wu Siyuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and said with a smile: "I think this problem is very clear to every Hong Kong person, and in my opinion, with the excellent script you came up with, it will not be difficult for Tang Dynasty films to surpass Golden Harvest and become the largest film company in Hong Kong in two or three years." ”

Gu Chen raised his head and swallowed the remaining red wine in the wine glass in one gulp, and the empty wine glass was gently placed on the small table next to him, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "It's not that I'm arrogant, I still have confidence in becoming the largest film company in Hong Kong, but it's not so easy to master the entire Hong Kong film industry." ”

Mastering the entire Hong Kong film industry? Is this possible? The first word that appeared in Wu Siyuan's mind was 'arrogant', because even at the peak of the Shaw Brothers, he didn't dare to say that he had mastered the entire Hong Kong film industry, but the next moment he hesitated, is Gu Chen really an arrogant person? Judging from his limited understanding of Gu Chen, it shouldn't be, but who knows whether it is or not.

Gu Chen looked at Wu Siyuan's expression in his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "Things are man-made, nothing is impossible in this world, just like people 2000 years ago would never believe that after 2000, someone would really go to the moon to confirm whether Chang'e really lives." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Chen suddenly changed his words: "I wonder if Mr. Lu Daowu is interested in joining Tang Dynasty Cinema and serving as the general manager of the company?" ”

This jump was too big, Wu Siyuan didn't react for a while, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant: "Chen Shao is serious?" ”

"Is this a joke?"

Gu Chen confirmed his attitude to Wu Siyuan with a rhetorical question, this decision was not a temporary idea of Gu Chen, but his deliberate consideration.

Although Wu Siyuan is far from the style of the 'Godfather of Hong Kong Film' in his memory, he is already a senior filmmaker in Hong Kong, with ups and downs in the film industry for 20 years, starting from a director, to a director, and then to a producer, although in terms of commerciality, Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Film Company has not made any movies that are too blockbuster, but this does not affect his status in the Hong Kong film industry.

A person with sufficient status and connections in the Hong Kong film industry, and a wealth of professional knowledge, is the ideal manager of Tang Dynasty Cinemas.
