"Your gimmick is good, gambling on a boat? Killing people on the high seas? Is it possible for you to make money by gambling on a boat?" Xiang Watson sat in Dongyi's screening room, waiting for the rough cut version of "God of Gamblers" to finish, and said to Huo Dongjun thoughtfully: "Where did you come up with that?"

Huo Dongjun didn't know that there was no gambling boat in Hong Kong and Macao now, and when he heard Xiang Watson's puzzled question, Huo Dongjun said with an impassive expression: "From what I saw in the western film, I am also thinking about business other than movies." “

In fact, at this time, there is no gambling ship in Southeast Asia, everyone gambles obediently to Macau, gambling boat is known as the "gambling king" and "ghost hand" Ye Han 1 came up with a gimmick in June 6B, and officially went to sea in January 196o to start the high seas gambling journey.

At this time, hearing that there was no gambling boat appeared, Huo Dongjun felt that his eyes lit up, although he did not gamble in this life, but other friends of Wuxing loved to gamble a few hands, and naturally knew some news about gambling, the money in Macau's gambling industry is not all rice class owner He Hongsheng alone earns close to his pocket, take Hong Kong people as an example, to go to Macau to gamble money is to pay taxes, poll tax, departure tax, etc., and if you go to Macau regularly, carry a lot of cash.

If you use a cruise ship to gamble, you don't need to pay taxes, and the high seas are a three-way area, and the Hong Kong police will not come to the high seas to catch gambling even if they catch gambling.

"Do you have an idea?" Xiang Watson didn't believe that Huo Dongjun could think of a gambling boat business, and continued to ask.

Huo Dongjun rubbed his chin, trying to think about where he could get two or three hundred million yuan to buy a cruise ship as a gambling ship, and when he heard Xiang Watson ask his thoughts, Huo Dongjun suddenly blurted out: "I am going to charter a cruise ship to go out on the high seas." ”

Huo Dongjun's words hit Xiang Watson's mind, Xiang Watson has been operating a gaming business in Macau for a long time, relying on Xiang Huayan's relationship, Xiang Watson and Xiang Hua have two gambling halls in Macau, and hand them over to the people of the company over there to take care of, Xiang Watson is very heavy in gambling, but his gambling is only reflected in business, rarely go to the table to gamble, when he used the money he earned from gambling to enter the film industry, just want to gamble on a shop, and now Yongsheng's signboard has been won by him, Huo Dongjun's gambling boat business, Xiang Watson also wants to gamble, in his opinion, Maybe Huo Dongjun just came up with a movie scene on a whim, but as a person familiar with the gambling industry, this is a golden road with gold, and if it is properly managed, he can dig a big piece of fat from Macau to fill his appetite.

"Are you going to rent a cruise?" Xiang Watson heard Huo Dongjun say that he would rent a cruise ship out of the open sea, and his eyes lit up, asking him to raise hundreds of millions of funds by himself was too exaggerated and completely unrealistic, unless the entire Xiang family was counted, it was possible, otherwise a thirteen young Xiang family, even if he was a businessman and a master of making money, it was impossible to conjure hundreds of millions out of thin air.

"Big guy, I asked you to try out this movie and give some opinions, isn't the topic a little too far away now?" Huo Dongjun didn't want to continue the topic, because he saw a kind of love called ** emerging in Xiang Watson's eyes.

Xiang Watson shook his head: "Do you know that the most profitable industry today is ghosts? movies and gambling, but gambling is the exclusive operation of the He family, and the others are just leftovers, now you have an idea, of course, to intervene immediately to make money, and to make money quickly, Mr. He will not give you too long to squeeze water in his bowl." ”

Huo Dongjun rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard 2" was a big hit, and Xiang Watson's Yongsheng made money, originally Xiang Watson came to Dongyi to talk to him about going to Southeast Asia to publicize, but just when the rough cut version of "God of Gamblers" came out, Huo Dongjun invited Xiang Watson into the screening room together and asked him to give some advice.

The outline of this drama is provided by Huo Dongjun, but the plot is filled with Wang Jinglai, which is not much different from the previous life, and it also gathers the original cast, Zhou Run, Liu Dehua, Wang Guxian, Zhang Le, except for Long Wu is Chen Donglai, Gao Yi is served by Tang Zhenye, and even the villain Chen Jincheng is exactly the same as the previous life, starring Bao Hanlin, who is known as "Lin Bo", if you must find a difference, it is that Long Wu's action scenes and gunfight scenes are more beautiful, and the "God of Gamblers" in the previous life was directed by Wang Kun. In order to design fighting actions for Xiang Hua's Dragon Five, in this life, Huo Dongjun invited Wang Jing to almost become Huo Dongjun's fixed action director Yuan Kui, the second point Huo Dongjun didn't know if it was the same in the previous life, that is, "God of Gamblers" invited two gambling directors, the cards in the movie beat and changed very quickly in the hand, not Zhou Yan used magic props to complete, but the close-up of the hands from two gambling directors, one is the gambling consultant of Walkerhill in South Korea, Macau Liu Jiawei, and the other is the top brand of Genting Villa in Malaysia. Fok Kin Mart, a native of Macau.

These two gambling instructors were invited by Wang Jing to Watson, and the two stayed in the crew for a total of five days, without receiving a penny, but felt that it was an honor to be able to come to him among countless dealers to shoot "God of Gamblers", and he could also have capital to chat with friends after he went back.

Although Liu Jiawei is a gambling consultant under the South Korean gambling king Tian Yuan, but his hand of card skills and listening to dice kung fu is under the tutelage of the "gambling king" and "ghost hand" Ye Khan, following Ye Han for more than ten years, he was invited to the town by Tian Yuan with a high salary, and Huo Jianwu is the descendant of Huo Tingzhi, the first generation of gambling king in Hong Kong and Macao.

Wang Jing filmed this drama very carefully, of course, a lot of money was used, the original cost was set at 8 million, but in the end it was more than 1 million, but the director Wang Jing and the producer Le Yiling quarreled with their old friends of the Shaw Brothers on the spot, and Huo Dongjun opened his mouth to make additional investment.

"The play is good, it must be a hit, but I am more concerned about whether the gambling boat business is viable, are you really going to rent a cruise ship?" Xiang Watson was hooked by the gambling boat business, and he was no longer interested in the movie itself.

"Yes. Huo Dongjun said.

"Count me in, let's cooperate?" said Watson, turning his face sideways, with a serious face.

Huo Dongjun sighed: "I can rent a cruise ship at any time, it's nothing more than 900,000 a day to go to sea, but where do gamblers go to get on the ship?"

Xiang Watson didn't say that he would handle it, and his two gambling halls in Macau were very big bosses, but he came forward, so that the business of Macau gambling halls would no longer have to think about Ho Hongsheng letting him run it, so he needed someone who could come forward to attract gamblers for him.

"It's better to have three partners, let's each occupy 4o, and find another person to occupy 2," Xiang Watson thought about it and said to Huo Dongjun.

"A cruise ship rent plus fuel and so on, at least one million a day costs, a day and night, a gambling ship that can only hold more than 300 tourists can earn back one million?" Huo Dongjun took out a cigarette and handed it to Watson and asked, he didn't know how to gamble.

Xiang Watson took it but didn't light it, he was used to eating cigars, and when Huo Dongjun asked if the gambling boat could get back to its original value, Xiang Watson pointed to the screen in the screening room and said:

"I guess you must have no intention of gambling on the boat, it was I who asked you before you moved your mind, you wrote this movie yourself, VIP room, 300 tourists, 50 are willing to enter the VIP seat, 5 are willing to bet heavily, you earn more than 1 million a night. ”

was seen through by Watson, Huo Dongjun didn't care, smiled, and lit a cigarette himself: "Then do it?" I'm in charge of the cruise ship, looking for people to watch the scene, and you are responsible for finding those rich guys to get on the ship to gamble, and by the way, invite dealers and consultants to do this kind of insider business." ”

"It's too late today, tomorrow I'll call the company's lawyer to come over, and we will form an entertainment company together and rent a cruise ship in the name of the company. Xiang Watson looked at the screen that had darkened: "Even if you lose a few million, you and I will both lose." ”

"Can you talk about movies now?" Huo Dongjun said: "You have watched the prime time for a few years, and you can be regarded as a senior movie fan, give me a little bit of construction, I am going to test Chen Rongmei, today on November 2 and November 11, Xinbao Cinema Line will officially open its doors to welcome guests." ”

"Are you going to be a beacon, stupidly run to be the first person to take refuge in Xinbao?" Xiang Watson saw Huo Dongjun smoking, his mouth felt a little idle, so he took a sip of coffee that was already a little cold before saying.

"After talking to you that day, I thought about it again, it doesn't matter, I am an actor, even if Jiahe catches up with Dongyi, he will not drive me away, I can still be in the circle, the new cinema line needs a high enough level of opening, my Dongyi needs a long enough cinema release time and schedule, Jiahe can give me three weeks at most, but Chen Rongmei can let me be released for at least a full month, I believe that "God of Gamblers" can be a big hit, as long as this film is a big hit, other companies will definitely have people to join Xinbao Cinema, when the time comes, Jiahe, Debao, even if the three major cinema chains of Golden Princess want to catch up with independent film companies, I am afraid they are powerless. Huo Dongjun spat out a smoke ring and said to Xiang Watson.

"Of course you are OK, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard 2" has begun to be released in the United States, I heard that the box office has exceeded 10 million US dollars in a single week, and if it continues like this, the number of screens will be increased in the second week, and the box office will be at least 40 million US dollars in two months, and Golden Harvest will easily earn 5 million without pressure. Speaking of which, those ghosts were originally going to go in to watch Sean Connery, but they saw a Hong Kong action movie, whether it was the audience or those filmmakers in Hollywood, they all reacted polarized to this movie, either they scolded Sean Connelly for taking a bad scene, the whole play has no plot and is boring, or this Hong Kong-made action movie, the scene is much more shocking than Hollywood's activity film, whether it is a fight or a shootout, it is more gorgeous and fancy, and the explosion scene is realistic enough, Golden Harvest Even if it is because of you, will also give Dongyi a way out, but Yongsheng can't do it, so I can only wait. Xiang Huasheng heard Huo Dongjun say that he was not afraid of Jiahe's counterattack, and there was no pressure to be a bright light, and said in a slightly envious tone.

"Zhongnanhai Bodyguard 200,000 Urgent" can make Golden Harvest earn at least five or six million US dollars, Huo Dongjun is the protagonist, even if Golden Harvest fights back, he will not attack him, at most he will force him to Golden Harvest.

"You haven't even told me, where is the first stop of Southeast Asian propaganda?" Huo Dongjun asked Watson with the corners of his mouth slanted.

"In Japan, it's the same two-line joint film, but it's two lines, Shochiku Pictures and Japanese Live Pictures. When he said this to Watson, his tone was a little helpless.
