Chapter 406 God of Gamblers Series

In Xiangjiang and Jiahe Cinemas, many young people flocked to the cinema to watch "Prehistoric: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun".

In recent years, Hong Kong films have become increasingly sluggish, and it is fashionable for young people to watch Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters. Although Jiang Heng rarely returns to Hong Kong, many young people here are proud of Jiang Heng.

"It's great. The film directed by Jiang Heng is really cool!"

"Nothing can compare to Hollywood!"

"It would be great if Director Jiang could come back to film a movie sometime!"

"When he comes back to film, I will definitely call all my brothers to the theater to support him!"

"In mainland China, with a box office of 200 million a day, would they care about the movie tickets of a few of you?"

When the show was over, several young people were walking and talking.

Behind them, a tall man wearing sunglasses listened carefully and showed a thoughtful expression.

After leaving the cinema, this person did not drive, but took the subway to the vegetable market.

After walking in for a few steps, I was recognized by some vendors and greeted enthusiastically, "Brother Fa, you have a good grouper, do you want one?"

"Hey, it's too much trouble, I'm too lazy to do it! I've been very angry lately, so I want to buy some pork bones to make soup!"

A stall owner nearby said hoarsely: "Get rid of the heat, just drinking soup is useless!"

Zhou Runfa just smiled and didn't answer. He went to buy ribs and vegetables, and then took a taxi back to the mansion.

Fa Ge has a nanny at home, and there is someone dedicated to doing the shopping and cooking.

He went to the vegetable market purely to experience life after watching the movie.

When I got home, I threw my things in the kitchen and went to the living room to read the newspaper.

When it was time to eat, Zhou Runfa was still staring at the newspaper, drinking soup while reading.

Fa's sister-in-law said: "What's the point? No matter how high his box office is, it doesn't matter to us. He doesn't go back to Xiangjiang very much. He has already forgotten all his friends here!"

Zhou Run handed out the newspaper and said seriously: "Say, call some more friends and let's make a movie together to have some fun. Can you please invite him?"

"It's not easy. Starting from his little girlfriend, there is still some hope!"

Zhou Runfa nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

The rest of the past few years have not been great either.

Hollywood has basically lost contact with him, and Xiangjiang has no big projects all year round.

In the Mainland, his role in "Let the Bullets Fly" was naturally good, but everyone's attention was focused more on Zhang Mazi. Ge You's master was also very good, but his benefits were really limited.

I didn't receive any major film contracts in the future. Last year, I played Yuan Shikai in "The Founding of the Party", but his role was too little.

At this moment, he just wants to make a big production, preferably one with a box office of over one billion.

A low-budget comedy like "Lost in Thailand" has already grossed over a billion dollars. As an international star, if he doesn't make a movie with a box office of over a billion dollars, he will appear to be in decline.

In the evening, Zhou Runfa invited Wang Jing to dinner.

Fatty Wang spends most of his time in the capital and only returns to Xiangjiang in a long time.

At the food stall, Wang Jing "complained" that Fa Ge was stingy while eating.

“I’ve only been back for a long time, so you’re just treating me to a roadside stall. Isn’t it too stingy?”

"It would be nice to eat some. I might ask you to pay for it next time!"

"Oh, then I don't dare to come back!" Fatty Wang said with an exaggerated expression.

Zhou Runfa wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile: "Why, you found a good employer and worked hard to make money for others in filming?"

Wang Jing said with a sneer: "There is nothing I can do, support the family, brother!"

Zhou Runfa said: "You are still short of money?"

"You're not short of money either!"

The two laughed and clinked glasses together.

Many artists in Hong Kong have had a very miserable life after quitting the entertainment industry.

Zhou Runfa and Wang Jing are both at the top of the entertainment pyramid in Hong Kong. They have rich families and are not short of money, but they both want to make more.

"What do you have in mind?" Wang Jing asked after taking a few bites.

Zhou Runfa said, "Well, I'm just thinking about inviting a few more celebrities to make a more lively film. It would be best to invite Jiang Heng and release it during the Lunar New Year!"

Wang Jing smiled bitterly, "It's too difficult to hire him! You know he has many films, why don't you direct and act in them yourself?"

"I'm too busy!"

"He said that because his salary was too high, his company couldn't afford it!"

Zhou Runfa almost spit out a mouthful of wine. Well, this reason is very strong.

"You are so smart, you must have a way!"

Wang Jing chuckled, his expression a bit cunning.

He is indeed clever and has many clever ideas.

His eyes wandered, wondering what good he could get out of it.

First of all, the director's job will naturally fall into his hands, which means a lot of income.

If because of the joining of Jiang Heng and Zhou Runfa, the box office sales are huge, even if it exceeds one billion, it will be a good thing for him to skyrocket in fame.

As for how to invite Jiang Heng, then find someone who can invite Jiang Heng.

The producer can find Bona Pictures, then Yu Dong will definitely be willing to invite Jiang Heng to guest star.

If Liu Yifei or Jing Tan is chosen as the female lead, the latter will definitely want Jiang Heng to star.

But to be honest, he didn't want to hire these two. First of all, both of them were popular A-list stars at the moment, and the pay was too expensive.

Secondly, he has an actress he wants to admire...

Seeing Wang Jing's thoughtful expression, Zhou Runfa picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I know from your expression that things must be done!"

Wang Jing hurriedly said humbly: "How can it be possible? I haven't even written a single horoscope!"

Zhou Runfa said: "Come on, you can shoot a movie like "Little Soldier Chasing Girls" and use the props in "Little Soldier Legend". You can say that other directors can't get such treatment as you!"

Wang Jing smiled and looked a little proud. He said he would try his best.

As for the subject matter of the film, the two of them thought of the "God of Gamblers" series.

Of course, gambling films cannot be shown in the mainland. The content of the film must be to combat gambling crimes.

Wang Jing lived up to his name as a "quick shooter". After drinking and going home, he suddenly burst into inspiration and made a script outline that night.

The next day, he took it to Zhou Runfa to talk. The latter frowned and said that you are a bit too much. The content of the story is too sad.

We are preparing to release it in the Lunar New Year period. If it is too sad, the audience will definitely not like it.

Wang Jing listened and thought it made sense. He went back and revised it again, and polished it repeatedly.

During this period, he called Yu Dong to talk and told him the outline of the script.

Yu Dong was naturally very interested. He had released too many Hong Kong films in the mainland over the years and had watched many of them. He was very interested in the "God of Gamblers" series.

As for the idea of ​​inviting Jiang Heng to make a cameo appearance, Yu Dong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

The next day, Yu Dong invited Jiang Heng to dinner.

Liu Yifei happened to be next to him, so he took her with him.

"God of Gamblers series?"

"Well, that's what Fatty Wang said. Chow Yun-fat is the lead actor. Of course, the theme of the film is to combat gambling, and the comedy elements are the main elements!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, knowing that Wang Jing was planning to shoot "The Man from Macau".

He had a decent impression of the film. Since it was produced by Bonanza, he could consider making a cameo appearance.

Liu Yifei, on the side, showed great interest in the film.
