Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2039 Surpassing "God of Gamblers"?
"I beg you, you should at least say 4000 million. You just didn't see the expressions on those reporters' faces when they heard you say 2000 million..."

After the opening press conference, Chen Baixiang was very disappointed with Liu Zhenwei's disappointment.

The script written by Lin Daoqiu only made 2000 million at the box office. Liu Zhenwei dared to say such a thing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's not that you don't know, our show doesn't have any big-name stars at all, and it's not a big production, and the schedule can only be regarded as mediocre, so it's not bad to get 2000 million at the box office."

Liu Zhenwei felt that his estimate just now was neither exaggerated nor belittled, and he even added some more.

Because in his opinion, "The Gambler" can get a box office of 2000 million, which is considered a very good result.

"Let me tell you, the scripts written by Mr. Lin have never disappointed people so far. If the box office of this drama is only 4000 million, it is simply a dream for you to get Mr. Lin's scripts in the future."

Liu Zhenwei also became nervous when he heard this, so he hurriedly asked.

"Where did you hear about it? This shouldn't happen, right?"

Chen Baixiang shook his head while talking.

"Go and see for yourself when the box office of the script written by Mr. Lin is lower than that. If it is not put in the summer file, I even suspect that the box office of "The God of Gamblers" is very likely to exceed the box office of "God of Gamblers". "

When Chen Baixiang said such a thing at this time, it was obvious that no one would agree with him.

Although before the release of "God of Gamblers", everyone predicted that this drama should be ranked third or fourth in the Spring Festival file, but they did not expect to succeed in the counterattack in the end, and went directly to No.1.

But because it was during the Spring Festival, there are infinite possibilities, and naturally "The God of Gamblers" cannot be compared with "The God of Gamblers".

The more Liu Zhenwei listened, the more guilty he became. He even began to regret that he had underestimated the estimated box office at the launch conference just now.

"Then what should we do now? I've already said what I said, so why don't we call them back and hold a new press conference?"

"Do you think this is a movie? If you make a mistake, you can make up for it."

Chen Baixiang felt that he couldn't continue chatting with Liu Zhenwei. Anyway, he had already said his words. If "The Gambler" could not even reach the box office of 2000 million by then, his end would be miserable.

"Looks like you guys had a great time chatting."

Lin Daoqiu's sudden appearance shocked Liu Zhenwei and others.

As soon as he saw Lin Daoqiu, Chen Baixiang's stinky face changed drastically, and he immediately put on a smiling one.

"Mr. Lin, why didn't you inform us earlier when you came?"

Lin Daoqiu knew that today was the launch conference of "The Saint of Gamblers", so he decided to come over to take a look.

He had heard what Liu Zhenwei said at the launch conference just now, but Lin Daoqiu didn't think it was a big deal.

He even felt that it was very normal to make such a prediction based on Liu Zhenwei's character.

The reason why Wang Jing and the others made the vow of 6000 million box office was completely forced by themselves. If they were asked to predict by themselves, it would probably be around 3000 million.

"There were too many reporters at the scene just now, so I won't show up. After all, you are playing the leading role here today, so it's not easy for me to steal the limelight."

In fact, if Lin Daoqiu showed up just now, the reporters at the scene would be very happy, because then there would be no need to worry about no headlines to write.

"Did you hear my box office prediction just now? Mr. Lin, am I wrong?"

Liu Zhenwei could already hear from Lin Daoqiu's words that he must have heard what he said at the scene just now.

Worried that Lin Daoqiu would be unhappy if his prediction was too low, Liu Zhenwei silently lowered his head like a student who did something wrong.

"As much as you think it is, no one else can answer for you, but if you ask me, I hope the final box office of "The God of Gamblers" can surpass that of "God of Gamblers."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, everyone around was shocked.

"The Holy Gambler" is not released during the Spring Festival, nor does it have any luxurious star lineup, let alone a big production.

Relying on a group of newcomers to want to surpass the box office of "God of Gamblers", this is even more arrogant than Wang Jing and the others.

If Lin Daoqiu did not say this sentence, everyone would think that the person who said this sentence must be an idiot, because this is absolutely impossible to happen.

"No confidence?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Liu Zhenwei and asked him.

Liu Zhenwei didn't know how to answer, if so, would he have to swear like Wang Jing and the others?

Liu Zhenwei didn't think he would have such a thing as luck, and it was that kind of luck against the sky, so he naturally didn't dare to do it.

"Mr. Lin, I have..."

At this moment, Zhou Xingchi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.

Wu Mengda next to him couldn't hold back when he saw it. After all, Lin Daoqiu had already looked over. If he made a slight move at this time, Lin Daoqiu would definitely see him.

So he could only retreat a little silently, lest Zhou Xingchi would drag him in too.

He takes care of his family, unlike Zhou Xingchi who feeds the whole family by himself.

Lin Daoqiu turned to look at him, then asked with a smile.

"At the beginning, Wang Jing and the others said in front of the reporters that if they didn't reach the box office of 6000 million, they would voluntarily go to Taiwan to develop. Did Xingzi also want to follow their example and swear in front of me?"

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Zhou Xingchi to have such great courage. If he really dared to do this, then Lin Daoqiu really admired him a little.

"Of course not. I'm not that stupid. If you don't achieve it, forget it."

Zhou Xingchi suddenly shrank to Wu Mengda's side at this time.

"What are you doing so close to me? You can stand up to what you say, but I can't stand it."

Wu Mengda saw Zhou Xingchi shrinking to his side, he was so frightened that he wanted to distance himself from Zhou Xingchi.

"Okay, if you're not sure, don't bet lightly, but I still hope that you can create an idea in your heart, whether it's hope or ambition, and make "The God of Gamblers" better than "The God of Gamblers."

Lin Daoqiu never thought about assigning Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda to Baodao. After all, they didn't become popular in Xiangjiang. What would happen if they were assigned to Baodao at this time?
As for Liu Zhenwei, Lin Daoqiu wanted him to make more good-looking comedies, and they didn't mess with him, so Lin Daoqiu would not force them to swear.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Liu Zhenwei, Zhou Xingchi and others breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Daoqiu forced Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi to swear like he forced Wang Jing and the others, then they would really have to walk away today.
