Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1970
"Ka...I announce that "God of Gamblers" is officially finished."

With less than a month left before the Spring Festival, the film "God of Gamblers" directed by Wang Jing finally finished filming successfully at this time.

Over the past few months, it can be said that Wang Jing and Wen Jun have really worked hard for the God of Gamblers drama and dare not be negligent in the slightest. They have already used their best.

Although they can breathe a sigh of relief after the successful completion of the God of Gamblers, they will face a more severe test next.

If the box office score of 6000 million is not reached, Lin Daoqiu will send him to Baodao.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu had already half-jokingly announced this in front of the reporters before, and he didn't know how "God of Gamblers" would get off the stage if it didn't sell 6000 million.

Wang Jing looked at Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau and others half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"It's been a long time for everyone, but you must come to the premiere when the time comes."

Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau were also present at the previous launch conference, so they naturally heard Lin Daoqiu's words.

But until now they felt that Lin Daoqiu and Wang Jing were just making a joke in front of the media reporters, and they would not send them to Baodao just because the box office of the God of Gamblers did not reach 6000 million.

"Don't worry, both of you, I will be there when the time comes."

Chow Yun-fat is the main character in this drama, so he must be present to support, there is no reason for him to be absent.

As for Andy Lau who intends to develop in the film industry, he will naturally not be absent. Although he is not the protagonist, he also hopes to attend more film-related activities.

After Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau were settled, "God of Gamblers" also officially entered post-production.

Because this movie has no special effects, the post-production time will not be very long.

But even so, Wang Jing and Wen Jun still pushed everything away, and the two of them honestly stayed in the post-production company from the first day, in order to be able to cut "God of Gamblers" to the best.

On the other hand, "The Legend of Wesley" produced by Golden Harvest had entered the stage of post-production as early as a month ago.

Because this movie has a lot of special effects, the post-production time will be a bit longer.

Because Golden Harvest is preparing to make a comeback in the Xiangjiang film industry, "Legend of Wesley", it can be said that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang have placed great expectations on this movie.

However, because there are so many strong films in the Spring Festival this year, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are not very sure whether this special effects blockbuster can achieve a good result.

Chow Yun-fat's "God of Gamblers", Xu Guanwen's "Family Happiness", and Xu Guanjie's "Legend of Wesley", among these three films, "Family Happiness" is what Golden Harvest fears the most.

On the contrary, they were not too worried about Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers". After all, Xiangjiang's gambling films did not sell well during this period.

Moreover, the director is Wang Jing and the screenwriter Wen Jun. These two people have not made any achievements before.

Even Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had heard some news about "God of Gamblers" before.

It is said that if this movie sells less than 6000 million, then Wang Jing and Wen Jun will be dispatched to Baodao by Lin Daoqiu.

Although Lin Daoqiu made Wang Jing and Wen Jun personally promise this matter in front of media reporters, almost most people regarded it as a joke, and no one would take it seriously.

But judging from the news obtained by Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, if "God of Gamblers" does not reach the box office of 6000 million, then Lin Daoqiu really wants to drive them to Baodao.

Although they don't know what's going on here, but after they saw that "God of Gamblers" is going to win a box office of 6000 million in Hong Kong, it can be said to be a fantasy, absolutely impossible.

It would be more appropriate for Lin Daoqiu to spend his time on "Happy Family" instead of focusing on "God of Gamblers".

The combination of Xu Guanwen, Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow, and the script was provided by Lin Daoqiu, all these factors together can definitely be regarded as a strong enemy for Golden Harvest.

"Our opponent this time is not "God of Gamblers" but "Happy Family". It is said that the filming of that film went very smoothly, and it will be finished in a few days."

In Jiahe Zou Wenhuai's office, he chatted with He Guanchang about the arrangements for this year's Spring Festival.

"If it weren't for the fact that "Legend of Wesley" is a blockbuster special effects film, I don't think it is really sure that it can win Arwen's "Happy Events at Home"."

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang can be said to know Zou Wenhuai very well. After all, they have worked together for more than ten years, and both of them know the basics.

However, because he didn't get much development in Golden Harvest, Xu Guanwen left Golden Harvest and switched to New Oriental's banner, and Golden Harvest almost went bankrupt afterwards.

If it wasn't for Lin Daoqiu's persuasion, the company Jiahe would have disappeared without a trace.

"The final investment of this movie reached 500 million. If it can get 4000 million box office in Xiangjiang and if the sale goes well, I think it should be no problem to get back the capital."

Without Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao, the three great fighters, Golden Harvest does not dare to raise its box office expectations too high.

In the past, it is not impossible for them to make a movie that won 4000 million box office during the Spring Festival, but now it is a bit difficult for Golden Harvest.

"Don't worry, I've gone to the post-production company to watch it a few times before. The filming of "The Legend of Wesley" is very good, and the special effects are also very exciting. The audience will definitely like it."

He Guanchang had visited Teddy Robin and others in the post-production company before, and also enjoyed the play "The Legend of Wesley" by the way.

Looking at this film from the perspective he has been in the film industry for so many years, He Guanchang believes that the special effects of "Legend of Wesley" will definitely refresh the audience of Xiangjiang.

Although it is impossible to reach the super level of "Godzilla" and "1992", as a special effects film produced in Hong Kong, Ho Guanchang feels that "The Legend of Wesley" can still get a passing grade.

"It's a pity that we don't have a big star on hand now, otherwise we can push him to Hollywood. It is said that Aaron is doing well in Hollywood now..."

When talking about Jackie Chan, Zou Wenhuai felt very embarrassed. When they dug him from Luo Wei to Golden Harvest, they originally planned to make him the second Bruce Lee.

But I didn't expect Jackie Chan to rely on Lin Daoqiu and his own efforts, and now he doesn't need to be Bruce Lee.

Now he has a famous English name JackyChen in Hollywood.

Lin Daoqiu helped them make up for what they failed to do at the beginning. This was both gratifying and helpless to Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. After all, this was something they had not completed.
