Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1987 Is there hope?

The premiere of "God of Gamblers" was held at the Xintiandi Theater. At 07:30 in the evening, Wang Jing, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had arrived at the scene.

Although there are quite a few reporters here today, they are still not as good as those in "Legend of Wesley".

It is said that dozens of celebrities will be there tonight, and even Sammo Hung and the others will be present to congratulate in person.

And Joey Wang is also sure to attend the premiere of "The Legend of Wesley", after all, she is the real heroine in the play "Legend of Wesley".

In "God of Gamblers", Wang Zuxian's role is obviously only a supporting role, so it is reasonable for her to choose to go there.

In addition to Wang Jing and the others, there are Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and some supporting roles in the movie "God of Gamblers".

If you want to talk about the most well-known person present, it is Chow Yun-fat, and the others are obviously still some distance away from him.

But even Chow Yun-fat failed to attract more reporters, because at this time Chow Yun-fat was not the fairy hair that everyone loves.

Although compared with the poisonous hair in the previous life, Chow Yun-fat's condition and reputation are obviously much better at this time.

But he hasn't had a blockbuster movie so far, so it can only be said that he is just an ordinary movie star.

As for Andy Lau, needless to say, no matter what achievements he has made in TV dramas or movies, he cannot be compared with Chow Yun-fat now.

"Mr. Lin probably won't come."

Wang Jing noticed that Wen Jun would look outside from time to time, and he knew without guessing that he must be looking forward to Lin Daoqiu's presence.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Lin Daoqiu was enjoying the "Golden Dragon Welcomes the New Year" Spring Festival Gala at Dongshi at this time, so he had no time to attend the premiere of "God of Gamblers", but even so, Wen Jun still hoped that a miracle would happen.

"I don't know if it's cold on Treasure Island. Should I bring more clothes when the time comes?"

Hearing what Wang Jing said, he knew that he was already preparing for the next trip to Treasure Island.

Wen Jun obviously didn't like hearing such words, he turned his head and looked at Wang Jing with displeasure.

"Today is our premiere, don't say such unlucky words, and if the box office hasn't come out for a day, it means we still have a chance."

After Wen Jun finished speaking, Wang Jing immediately showed a surprised expression, as if he saw something very strange.

"I didn't expect you to be so optimistic at this time. Why didn't I find out before?"

Wen Jun was too lazy to argue with Wang Jing, after all, now is not the time to quarrel with him.

After the main creator and main actors of "God of Gamblers" accepted a half-hour interview at the door, Lin Daoqiu hadn't shown up when it was almost eight o'clock, so Wen Jun didn't plan to wait any longer.

He immediately invited everyone to go to the theater to watch the movie together, after all, the time for the movie to start was coming soon.

Although Wen Jun didn't say anything about Lin Daoqiu's absence, he still felt very uncomfortable.

After all, "God of Gamblers" is of great significance to him. Although he doesn't think "God of Gamblers" can reach a box office of 6000 million, Lin Daoqiu would be very happy even if he could take a look at Wen Jun.

However, he still comforted himself silently in his heart. After all, today is the New Year's Eve, and the Spring Festival Gala at Dongshi is obviously more important. It is normal for Lin Daoqiu not to come.

If the previous events hadn't happened, then Wen Jun wouldn't have cared so much about Lin Daoqiu's coming to the premiere of "God of Gamblers", but it's too late to say anything now.

This time, the premiere of "God of Gamblers" was a bit simple, with not many reporters present and not many professional film critics.

Most of the people went to see "Legend of Wesley" and "Happy Events in the Family". Naturally, those film critics didn't like "God of Gamblers", a commercial film that was purely a gambling standard.

They are even more willing to watch comedies than "God of Gamblers". How can I say that the cooperation between Xu Guanwen and Leslie Cheung is a highlight.

If you insist on giving the protagonists of "God of Gamblers" Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau a title, it would be the reunion of TVB's old generals. Without mentioning TVB, it's really hard to connect the two.

The main creator has no confidence, and the film critics don't have any hope for this movie. Some of the tickets are even given away, unlike other people's premiere tickets that need to be bought.

All unfavorable factors seem to have gathered on the drama "God of Gamblers", so Wang Jing and the others can imagine how heavy their hearts are.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it. After the start of “God of Gamblers”, Wen Jun’s attention is obviously no longer on the movie.

What he cares more about is how the audience around him will react to the play.

After the whole scene, there were not many laughs from the audience. Although this is not a comedy, it is just that Chow Yun-fat's IQ decline after amnesia caused some funny scenes, and there are some occasional laughter, but they are very sporadic. kind of.

Halfway through the movie, Wen Jun was about to get up and leave. If it wasn't because he was the main producer of the movie, Wen Jun might not be able to stay here any longer.

Because at this time, he has already decided that the God of Gamblers will definitely hit the market, let alone 3000 million, if there is 2000 million, it will be Amitabha.

When the movie came to the end, Andy Lau's Daozi Chen returned to his ancestral home and found that Chow Yun-fat had not abandoned him. The two met in Las Vegas to show off their ambitions, and the story ended.

When the subtitles appeared, the audience still responded with warm applause.

However, Wen Jun was not at all happy, because he felt that the applause was just a courtesy, not from their hearts.

At this time, at Dongshi's "Golden Dragon Welcomes the New Year" party, Fang Jinsheng walked up to Lin Daoqiu who was watching the performance and told him that the premiere of "God of Gamblers" was over.

Lin Daoqiu, who kept smiling all the time, didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Although he did not attend the premiere of "God of Gamblers", it is obviously not right to say that Lin Daoqiu doesn't care about "God of Gamblers" at all.

He made people pay attention to the situation over there at all times, and would notify Fang Jinsheng immediately of any news.

Judging from the situation collected so far, the on-site reaction of the drama "God of Gamblers" did not exceed Lin Daoqiu's expectations.

Wen Jun just felt that everything was over because the mourning was greater than death, but in fact, the audience who watched the show were still very excited when the show was over.

Especially when they talked about Gao Jin played by Chow Yun Fat, everyone gave their thumbs up.

For a milestone gambling film, the birth of "God of Gamblers" will affect the next Hong Kong gambling film for a long time.
