Tai Ping Theatre, Sai Wan, Hong Kong.

The premiere of "God of Gamblers" is scheduled to be held here, and in addition to the film screening, the normal premiere will be broadcast on Phoenix Channel tomorrow night.

The weather was a bit bad for the celebrations, and it was raining from the afternoon. The rain is sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and it is definitely impossible to stand outside, only some dedicated reporters are still guarding outside the theater with umbrellas.

Affected by the typhoon last month, it rained almost every day in Hong Kong, and the rainfall in a single day on the 17th reached the highest in nearly 20 years, and even killed three Hong Kong citizens.

Now the typhoon has passed, but it has rained again for two days, just like God's incontinence.

A taxi stopped on the side of the road outside the theater, Huang Qiusheng opened his umbrella and got out of the car, and Yuan Danqiong and Wu Yijiang in the back also played an umbrella each.

Wu Yijiang complained as he walked: "The weather during this time is really damn good, and you can't shoot on location." ”

Yuan Danqiong looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and said: "It doesn't matter, it can be used as a holiday, anyway, I can't get the play." ”

"I'm not about the same," Wu Yijiang looked at Huang Qiusheng enviously and said, "Ah Sheng is running in time, and after this movie is released, it will definitely be an instant hit." ”

Huang Qiusheng has just debuted now, and it is easy to be complacent at a young age, and as for the rejection of pursuing Li Yuanfeng, he has long forgotten about it. Hearing General Wu Yi's compliments at this time, Huang Qiusheng said in a big way: "Don't worry, as long as I come out, I will definitely bring you." ”

Wu Yi said with a smile: "Just wait for your words, don't forget it when the time comes." ”

The three young men laughed all the way in through the back door, bypassed the small garden to the third floor of the theater, and then went down directly to the backstage.

However, Yuan Danqiong and Wu Yi were blocked when they entered the backstage. Huang Qiusheng had to go in alone, and the main creative staff of the crew were all backstage at the moment.

The hosts of the premiere are Zhou Xingchi and Mao Xianyun, since the last time they hosted the Academy Awards with Mary Zhang and Zheng Zeshi, everyone knew that Kang Jianfei wanted to support these two young hosts.

Huang Qiusheng entered the backstage, and after a little makeup, he began to familiarize himself with the premiere process again, sorting out his lines in his heart.

Zhou Xingchi was talking to Mao Xianyun over there, and suddenly saw Kang Jianfei coming over, and the two hurriedly stopped and greeted, "Hello Mr. Kang." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled at the two of them and said, "You two host the show very well. ”

Mao Xianyun belongs to the kind of person who looks shrewd. In fact, the woman with a big personality just smirked at him after being praised by Kang Jianfei. However, Zhou Xingchi's mind was more flexible, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Kang for your support." ”

Kang Jianfei nodded secretly, 30 years later, Zhou Xingchi's popularity is very poor, and almost all his old friends say that he is difficult to get along with. And it seems that there is still a bit of a problem with character. However, at this time, the young Zhou Xingchi was still very polite and clever, perhaps because his career had developed to a certain point later. It causes the individual to swell too much.

"Have you two ever thought about filming together?" Kang Jianfei asked suddenly.

Mao Xianyun asked curiously: "What kind of play?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "A very interesting TV series. ”

How can you make money as an actor as a host? Zhou Xingchi couldn't wait to agree: "As long as Mr. Kang you command." I shoot any scene. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Then let's say it, when the next drama of the TV station "Bao Qingtian" ends, the TV series of the two of you will be broadcast." ”

Mao Xianyun was still there and asked: "What's the name of the TV series?" ”

"He's from the rivers and lakes." After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he walked towards Li Yuanfeng and Lin Fengjiao.

……

……

The time gradually reached half past seven, and the Taiping Theater began to become lively, with film critics, reporters, celebrities, overseas film dealers, and ordinary audiences entering one after another. Although it was still raining outside, it didn't have much of an impact on the premiere. The theater's more than 2,000 seats are almost full.

Xu Ke and McDonald Bear sat next to each other, both of them opened their own film studios in DreamWorks, and they usually communicate frequently. Sitting next to them are Shi Nansheng and Zhang Jiazhen, the administrators of the two film studios.

Zhang Jiazhen previously studied filmmaking at New York University. After returning to Hong Kong, he worked as the production manager of "Thief and Detective" and "Tower of Death 2" at Golden Harvest. As far as film production is concerned, Zhang Jiazhen is still qualified, but he is a layman in distribution, not even as good as an ordinary employee in the distribution department of DreamWorks.

I don't know if Lu Dao is good or bad for Zhang Jiazhen, in another time and space, because McDonald Bear founded an independent film company, Zhang Jiazhen not only has to be a producer, but also has to be responsible for distribution. After catching the duck on the shelves, it only took Cheung Ka Chun a year to get started quickly, becoming one of the most powerful overseas publishers in Hong Kong at that time.

Now that McDonald's studio is affiliated with DreamWorks, which has its own distribution department, Zhang Jiazhen only needs to do the filmmaking business he is familiar with. In this way, there is a lack of opportunities to exercise, and it is estimated that I will never touch the distribution business in my life, and I have wasted such a good potential.

"Lao Xu, I heard that your "Shu Mountain" shooting plan was approved by Mr. Kang?" While waiting for the premiere to begin, McDonald suddenly asked.

"I approved it, but I didn't get the editing rights in the end." Xu Ke said a little angrily, you must know that when Kang Jianfei pulled him over to start a film studio, he said that he would let Xu Ke have the final editing rights, and now Kang Jianfei unceremoniously broke his word and fattened, Xu Ke will definitely be unhappy in his heart.

Kang Jianfei had to break his word, he threw tens of millions of dollars, God knows what messy things Xu Lao Wei will cut out, and few viewers can adapt to the super fast rhythm of "New Shushan Swordsman".

McDonald Bear also has some disdain for Kang Jianfei's "despicable" behavior, he and Xu Ke are actually the same kind of people, both of them have changeable and unique styles, and both have a strong desire to control, and like to hang the position of producer and exercise the power of a director.

However, McDonald Bear still said: "That's not bad, didn't you say that the budget of "Shushan" is 20 million? It's one of Hong Kong's biggest films. ”

"Mr. Kang gave me a budget of 35 million." Xu Ke is also a little proud when he says it, among the Hong Kong films released now, none of them cost more than 20 million, and Kang Jianfei gave him 35 million at once, which is really generous enough.

For this kind of special effects movie that heaps money. Naturally, the more the budget, the better, so that it will not be stretched thin, which in turn will lead to a decrease in the quality of the film.

This is the case with the "Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" in the original time and space, although Golden Harvest's investment of more than 20 million is high enough, but due to insufficient funds, many places have been unsatisfactory.

"With a budget of 35 million, that's a super big production." McDonald Bear was amazed, and at the same time admired the courage of Xu Ke and Kang Jianfei. In other words, even if Kang Jianfei dared to invest him so much, he would not dare to make such a high-cost movie. Once you hit the streets, you don't have to mix in the Hong Kong film industry, and no one is willing to invest in such a director for at least three or five years.

Zhang Jiazhen is not familiar with Xu Ke, but at this time, he deliberately turned his head to look at him, and he was very curious to know what kind of movie Lu Dao made in Hong Kong with a budget of 35 million.

"Here we go!" While the two were chatting, Shi Nansheng suddenly reminded.

The rousing "God of Gamblers" theme song suddenly sounded (the music when the God of Gamblers appeared). The song was originally a repertoire by the Swedish band Europe. However, the band Europe has been around for less than two years and has just signed with a record label. Even the name of the band has just been changed to this. The tune of this song was naturally plagiarized by Kang Jianfei, and by the way, he also asked someone to add Cantonese lyrics.

There are two couches on the stage, Kang Jianfei and Mao Xianyun sit on the left, and Zhou Xingchi sits on the right.

When the classic melody sounded, Zhou Yanfa appeared in a suit and a coat, followed by Huang Qiusheng, Li Yuanfeng, Xiang Huaqiang, Lin Fengjiao and others.

Especially after Xiang Huaqiang played. Many people in the audience who knew him were a little surprised. This club boss actually walked behind Zhou Yanfa like a follower, if his little brother saw it, he wouldn't be laughed to death.

Mao Xianyun hurriedly stood up. smiled: "Oh, the God of Gamblers has a different momentum, so he has the demeanor of a big guy." ”

Zhou Xingchi also hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Mr. God of Gamblers, please sit here, let me also touch the luck of the God of Gamblers, and next time I play cards, I will draw a few more handfuls." ”

Mao Xianyun gaged: "Your luck, ten times you play cards and nine times you lose, it's useless to sit next to the gambling fairy." ”

Zhou Xingchi had a difficult expression, and sighed: "Although this is the case, you don't need to say it so directly. ”

"Haha......" The audience was amused by Zhou Xingchi's expression and tone.

After the joke, Mao Xianyun said to Kang Jianfei: "Director Kang, please introduce it to everyone." ”

The main creators of the crew stood in a row, and Kang Jianfei naturally started to introduce Xiang Huaqiang: "This Mr. Xiang was invited by me with great difficulty, and he is also the boss of Yongsheng Pictures." I have always felt that I am very good, and I can open a film company and be an actor, but I didn't expect Mr. Xiang to be better than me, the role he plays in this film is very classic, please wait and see. ”

Xiang Huaqiang grinned with the microphone, that smile was honest, I don't know the details of the road, I would never think that he was a bigwig-level figure in New Yi'an. He held Kang Jianfei's shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Kang has been raised, I still know how many catties I have, this time Brother Kang asked me to play an important role, which is worthy of me, and it also made me addicted to drama." Thank you so much! ”

After a burst of applause from the audience, Kang Jianfei introduced several other people.

Naturally, there will be various interviews next, and everyone will break the news of some interesting things during the filming, and play a few small games related to "God of Gamblers" in the middle.

After more than ten minutes, it finally came to the highlight of the premiere, Mao Xianyun said: "Since Mr. Kang filmed "God of Gamblers", he must also have a good understanding of gambling. Do you want Mr. Kang to show his hands? ”

"Yes!" The people in the audience followed suit.

Zhou Xingchi immediately snapped his fingers and shouted in an exaggerated tone: "Go to poker, please ask Mr. Kang to perform wonderful gambling skills!" (To be continued......)

PS: Lao Wang self-examine, I'm a little crazy playing League of Legends these days, and I'll quit three more tomorrow.

But I still have to emphasize that Lao Wang's robot doesn't play much. I met a few pig teammates this afternoon, and the three of them squatted in the grass at level 1, and Lao Wang drove the robot to hook a person under the tower.
