Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1993 You are still softhearted
Ever since "God of Gamblers" came out at the box office, Wen Jun couldn't stop smiling, and not only him, but also Wang Jing and Zheng Danrui.

The first-day box office of "God of Gamblers" was able to get 620 million. If someone had said this to Wen Jun before, he would definitely know that this should be impossible.

"Don't be too happy. Although there are 620 million on the first day, if there is no way to continue to rise or the decline is too large in the next few days, then you will not be happy at that time."

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly poured cold water on Wen Jun, pulling him back from fantasy to reality.

"Brother Qiu, it's rare that "God of Gamblers" has scored such a good result, and why should I be happier now that I'm celebrating Chinese New Year?"

Wen Jun looked at Lin Daoqiu with an aggrieved face, he felt that the other party should at least give them some confidence or say a few words of encouragement, and they would pour cold water on them if they came up.

"It's not that I don't want you to be happy, I'm just afraid that your extreme joy will turn into sorrow. You haven't seen anything in the film industry for so many years. In most cases, the box office results on the first day are the best results of a movie."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Wen Jun nervous again, because what he said was absolutely right.

Basically, the box office on the first day of a movie is generally the best box office of the movie.

Judging from the example of this kind of box office that won millions of dollars on the first day, only a few movies can maintain or even increase slightly in a year.

Otherwise, generally speaking, the box office results of "God of Gamblers" should decline steadily, depending on whether the magnitude is large or not.

So for Wen Jun and the others, the first week's box office results are extremely important.

If "God of Gamblers" can break through 4000 million in the first week, then it is certain that their show will break 6000 million.

If it is about 3000 million, then this possibility can be said to have been reduced by at least half at once.

Wen Jun, who had been very happy just now, fell into deep thought again.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that you will go to East TV to record "You Know About Entertainment" tomorrow, because it will be broadcast on the evening of the fourth day."

"You Know About Entertainment" hosted by Lin Jianming can be said to be a well-known column in Xiangjiang.

Since its broadcast, it has been well received by everyone, and it has become a signature entertainment variety show information column of Dongshi during dinner time.

Lin Daoqiu quietly arranged for them to appear on "You Know About Entertainment". Of course, his purpose in doing so was to help "God of Gamblers" generate more box office.

So when he said that, Wen Jun immediately showed a pleasant expression on his face.

"Thank you Brother Qiu...Thank you Brother Qiu..."

If Wen Jun's movie wanted to be featured in "Entertainment Talk" before falling out with Lin Daoqiu, then he basically didn't need to use Lin Daoqiu to do it himself.

But now Wen Jun obviously doesn't have that much confidence in front of Yu Teng, so he didn't think that "God of Gamblers" could be promoted in "You Know" in the first place.

But now it's all right, Lin Daoqiu has helped him arrange everything properly, as long as "Entertainment Talk" is on the show at that time, the box office of "God of Gamblers" will definitely rise.

Originally, Wen Jun thought that Lin Daoqiu would definitely send him to Treasure Island, but now it seems that the facts are quite different from what he thought.

"You don't have to thank me, you deserve it."

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, he also knew how much effort Wen Jun and the others had put in to make "God of Gamblers" a good one. At this time, he helped them make sense of it both emotionally and rationally.

And Lin Daoqiu didn't think at the beginning that he really wanted to drive them to a dead end. The previous ones were just to stimulate their potential. So far, the effect is pretty good.

…………

"At this time, you arranged for them to appear on "Entertainment Talk" and you said that you didn't want to help them. I knew that you were hard-hearted and soft-hearted."

Lin Daoqiu left New Oriental after finishing the company affairs. He had already made an appointment with Zhong Chuhong to go shopping, because tomorrow he was going to visit Zhong Chuhong's house to celebrate the New Year.

The two of them found a place to have afternoon tea after a lot of shopping.

During the chat, the two of them inevitably talked about the movie in the Spring Festival, and naturally they also talked about the movie "God of Gamblers".

Knowing that Lin Daoqiu had arranged for Wen Jun and the others to appear on "Entertainment Talk You Know" to promote the God of Gamblers, Zhong Chuhong immediately showed an expression that I had guessed a long time ago.

"Don't think so badly of me. Wen Jun did have many faults before, and this time it was committed by me. It would be a pity if I didn't take this opportunity to let him correct his faults."

Lin Daoqiu's starting point is to make Wen Jun better. As for Wang Jing and Zheng Danrui, it can only be said that they were dragged into the water by Wen Jun.

Without the help of Wang Jing and Zheng Danrui, it would be impossible for Wen Jun to really reform himself.

Zhong Chuhong suddenly thought of something that shocked her.

"You set a box office of 6000 million from the beginning, did you already guess that "God of Gamblers" could get 6000 million before you said that?"

There are not many movies that can get 6000 million box office in Xiangjiang, and they are basically big productions.

In the past few years, the production cost of Xiangjiang movies has become more and more exaggerated. There are already films with a production cost of hundreds of millions, and tens of millions are commonplace.

But the production cost of "God of Gamblers" is only 1000 million. Under such circumstances, how did Lin Daoqiu guess that "God of Gamblers" would eventually get 6000 million?This is really incredible.

If it's just a coincidence, it's too mysterious, right?Could it be that Lin Daoqiu has the ability to predict the future?

"I'm not a god. How could I know how much box office "God of Gamblers" can get? The 6000 million I said at the time was just a casual statement, and it can't be true."

Lin Daoqiu's explanation did not convince Zhong Chuhong. On the contrary, she felt more and more that Lin Daoqiu must have full confidence in saying this. Otherwise, if Wen Jun and the others didn't get the box office of 6000 million, wouldn't they be sent to Baodao? ?

"Even if they don't get the box office of 6000 million, as long as they have really worked hard, then I will consider it as appropriate. Don't think about it."

Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously. Although the other party's explanation sounded reasonable, she still felt that it was not true.

But thinking about it carefully, Lin Daoqiu has been in this industry for so many years, and he wrote the script of "God of Gamblers", and he also owns New Oriental Cinemas.

If... If Lin Daoqiu really wants "God of Gamblers" to get a box office of 6000 million, then it's not true that he can't do it.
