Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1973 Special effects are different
Although Lin Daoqiu has watched "God of Gamblers" N times before, but this time watching "God of Gamblers" is still a bit fresh for him.

In this version, the role of Dragon Wuyi has been replaced by Zhou Runjian from the family class. Since you have never seen the original version of "God of Gamblers", everyone will not have preconceived ideas.

Of course, whether the role of Long Wu will be loved by everyone after the role is changed, we will not know until the movie is released.

"Overall, the editing of this version is not bad. There are no long-winded shots and the plot is very coherent and smooth. It can be regarded as a passing grade."

After watching "God of Gamblers", Lin Daoqiu gave Wang Jing and Wen Jun a passing grade.

It is already a very happy thing for them to get a passing score from Lin Daoqiu.

If this score is given with reference to Lin Daoqiu's own movies, then Wang Jing and Wen Jun should not be too happy.

"There are four high-profile movies in this year's Spring Festival, "The Legend of Wesley", "God of Gamblers", "Happy Family", and "Wealthy Man". Which one do you think God of Gamblers can rank in?"

After watching the film, Lin Daoqiu chatted with them about this year's Spring Festival.

In fact, Wang Jing and Wen Jun have carefully investigated other films that will be released during the Spring Festival this year.

Because Lin Daoqiu changed the gear of Tsui Hark's movie, so this time their pressure was relatively less.

"Based on the current situation, because "Legend of Wesley" is a blockbuster with action and special effects, its box office is the most promising. "A Happy Event" has many stars such as Xu Guanwen and Leslie Cheung, and the box office results will not be too bad... "

"'God of Gamblers' should be able to beat 'Rich and Rich'."

Whether it's Wang Jing or Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, all three of them agreed that "God of Gamblers" should be ranked No.3 in this year's Spring Festival file.

Except for "Legend of Wesley", which may have a box office score of 6000 million, the highest box office of the other three movies is probably around 3000 million.

And because the four movies were released together, the final box office should not be too high.

"If "God of Gamblers" just won "Wealthy Man", then I advise you to pack your bags and go to Treasure Island after the Chinese New Year."

According to Lin Daoqiu, the box office of "Rich and Rich" is between 2000 and [-] million.

So "God of Gamblers" not only has to win "A Happy Event", but also Golden Harvest's special effects blockbuster "Legend of Wesley".

Otherwise, the two guys, Wang Jing and Wen Jun, must pack up and go to Treasure Island to develop.

"Brother Qiu, Golden Harvest has spent such a large amount of money to make this special effects movie, how can we compare it with others..."

In Wen Jun's view, using "God of Gamblers" to hit "Legend of Wesley" is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no possibility of winning.

After all, the most popular movies nowadays are special effects blockbusters, and Golden Harvest's "Legend of Wesley" at this time just caters to this trend.

In addition to the results of "1992", which is currently being screened, they really can't think of any reason why Golden Harvest's "Legend of Wesley" would lose to "God of Gamblers" without special effects.

"The reason why special effects movies are strong is because they can bring impact to people. If the special effects movies produced are not as good as everyone expected, then the box office may not be much better."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Wang Jing and Wen Jun seem to understand, but they didn't seem to understand.

"Since the movie has been filmed and edited, what you have to do now is to promote it as much as possible. After all, it's up to people to make things happen."

Apart from burning incense and worshiping Buddha, Wang Jing and Wen Jun probably have nothing to do now.

This time, the publicity fee for "God of Gamblers" was 50 from New Oriental, but Wang Jing and the others raised 100 million from their own pockets to advertise for God of Gamblers, hoping that more people would know about this drama.

Although an extra 50 was added for publicity, Wang Jing and the others did not have high expectations for the God of Gamblers.

In their opinion, if "God of Gamblers" can break through 3000 million at the box office, it would be a very happy thing for them.

Lin Daoqiu left after watching the film, and Wang Jing and the others remained in the production company.

Regarding the future prospects of the three of them, Wen Jun seems to have already planned everything.

"Spend this Spring Festival at home with your family. After the new year, we will go to Baodao to develop. Fortunately, we have been there a few times with Brother Qiu before, so it is not considered unfamiliar."

It can be seen that Wen Jun is very pessimistic, but he also has reasons for pessimism.

After all, judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for the box office performance of "God of Gamblers" to reach the 6000 million Hong Kong dollars requested by Lin Daoqiu.

So now they can really prepare for matters related to Treasure Island, and they won't be too hasty if they make some preparations earlier.

"Mr. Lin didn't say that we were not allowed to come back. We will be transferred back when we make some achievements. Don't worry."

Wang Jing is quite good at comforting herself, after all, he was only implicated by Wen Jun this time, and it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to send him to Baodao for the rest of his life just because of this.

I don't know if it's because of his disregard or because he has accepted his fate, Wen Jun's mood now has obviously slowed down a lot compared to the morning.

Compared with "God of Gamblers", the atmosphere in "Legend of Wesley" is obviously much better.

Now the outside world thinks that the champion of this year's Spring Festival will definitely be "Legend of Wesley". As the director of this drama, Teddy Robin himself thinks so.

The combination of Xu Guanjie, Ti Lung and Wang Zuxian, although not the best in Xiangjiang, at least in terms of starlight, it is definitely not bad.

Teddy Robin is not only the director of this play, he also joined the cast.

Perhaps because he wanted to re-establish Golden Harvest's signboard in front of everyone's eyes, so this time Zou Wenhuaite approved 200 million funds for the promotion of "Legend of Wesley".

It can be seen that Golden Harvest intends to use money to clear the way this time, to let everyone know that they are not going to retire or take over the company, but continue to work hard in the film industry.

However, in Lin Daoqiu's view, the box office results of "Legend of Wesley" should not be good. If he remembers correctly, the box office of this movie in the previous life was not very good.

And because it was released after "1992", this is actually a huge hidden danger for "Legend of Wesley".

Because audiences who have watched "1992" will involuntarily compare the two plays.

No matter how you think about it, you know how the special effects of "Legend of Wesley" can compare with "1992", which cost a lot of money. Such a huge gap will greatly reduce the audience's evaluation of "Legend of Wesley". Great.
