In mid-to-late September, "The Gambler" premiered at Xinbao Cinema as scheduled.

In his previous life, Wang Jing urgently recruited people to shoot "The Gambler" after Liu Zhenwei finished filming "The Gambler".

This is also the reason why the character settings of Zhou Xingxing in the two dramas are roughly the same, but the character names are completely different, because the copyright of the previous drama is not in Yongsheng's hands.

"The Gambler" has refreshed the box office performance in Hong Kong Island. This is a film that is completely following the trend.

This kind of skirting around and plagiarism is common in the film industry——

Isn’t my country’s famous IQ animated film “Autobots” a blatant plagiarism of “Cars” in later generations?

As for why Disney chose to appeal to the two producers and distributors of Ludao City and Imperial City in the Magic City Intellectual Property Court? You know... after all, the park is located in Magic City.

This routine is exactly the same as Nanshan Pizza Hut.

In this life, Liu Zhenwei has a strong background in Locomotive 1024, so naturally he immediately produced this companion piece to "The Gambler" to make money.

Investors in this drama also include Zhang Guozhong’s Yi Neng Pictures, Xiang Sheng’s Yongsheng Pictures, and Xiang Hao’s Yongsheng Entertainment.

Although the Xiang brothers did not part ways in name, in fact they did have their own plans.

Yi Neng Pictures has been quiet in recent years, but it has developed rapidly. In 1986, Zhang Guozhong entered the production market in order to support Andy Lau, and first cooperated with Yong Sheng to produce "The Magic Jade".

Immediately afterwards, the two companies entered the honeymoon period and formed a fixed team model of Yongsheng Production + Artistic Production + Director Wang Jing, and successively launched the "Hardcover Girls" series, "The Best Bad Friend" series of movies, box office

The results are outstanding.

In fact, during this period, Yineng Pictures produced, invested in and produced more films than Yongsheng. The number of films was even comparable to that of Locomotive 1024. It was the first film on Hong Kong Island.

Five major film producers.

On the one hand, Zhang Guozhong cooperated with Asia's famous Western film producer Xiao Jinghui to produce gangster action films such as "A Better Tomorrow" and "The Two Heroes", and at the same time studied the Hollywood action film style for filming.

At the same time, Yi Neng Pictures also hooked up with another independent master in the film industry - Mai Dangjie.

That's why the "Inside the Law" series was created, so it's no surprise that "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers 3" will star Andy Lau.

In the drama "The Gambling Man", Andy Lau was finally chosen to star in it because the entertainment industry provided half of the money.

Among the new generation of male idol stars in Hong Kong, Andy Lau has never been weak. In the past few years, some people compared him with Luo Dong. However, with Luo Dong taking the lead, especially with "God of Gamblers", "Sad City"

"The wonderful performance of "City of Sadness" has obviously successfully evolved from an idol to a powerful idol, which is equivalent to the difference between a young actor and a young actor. I have to say that the performance in "Sad City" is definitely actor-level.

A little ahead of Andy Lau...well...only 10 years.╮(╯▽╰)╭!

But it does not mean that Andy Lau is not popular. On the contrary, he is very popular! Therefore, during this period of time, he was tied to Li Ming by Hengxing Entertainment for popular marketing and was named the "Idol Gemini".

If there is really no popularity, who would choose him...

Being able to 'rip off' the resources of "The Gambler" this time is also a step forward for Andy's acting career.

Everyone knows that "The Gambler" is aiming to be in the top ten of the year... Zhou Xingxing + Andy Lau as the male protagonists, plus Wu Mengda, Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen. At the same time, Xiang Hao, Ke Shouliang and Cheng Kuimi are also participating show.

Not to mention other things, many young and Dangerous people in Xin'an will take the initiative to watch this drama.

In the plan, E7 Culture is also preparing to spend 5 million Hong Kong dollars to cooperate with the promotion and distribution in Southeast Asia. The production + publicity and distribution costs of this movie are more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars. Excluding the theater chain and the film studio's share, not counting the line. In order to make a profit, this movie needs at least HK$45 million at the box office in Southeast Asia to make back the money.

However, both Zhang Guozhong of Yi Neng Pictures and Xiang Sheng of Yongsheng believe in the return ratio of this drama.

Bang bang bang——

In the theater, there was thunderous applause.

With a glowing face, Liu Zhenwei led the creative staff to deliver speeches in front of the stage. The five leading actors, Zhou Xingxing, Liu Dehua, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen and Wu Mengda, were all smiling during the interview.

Zhou Xingxing is like a koi. After he suddenly became famous, countless people wanted to have a relationship with him.

Historically, it was difficult to say whether Zhang Min would be popular without Zhou Xingxing. In other words, Zhang Min's role should be replaced by any qualified vase. On Bangren, Zhou Xingxing has the attribute of "bringing goods".

In the box on the second floor, many people looked at the audience who reacted strongly and smiled with satisfaction.

As for those film critics who take a different approach, that is not what they have to consider... "God of Gamblers" is so exciting and so profitable, there are still many film critics criticizing Wu Xiaozu's depravity, let alone Liu Zhenwei's film.

He and Wang Jing can be regarded as the two spokespersons for nonsensical comedies and shitty comedies. At the same time, their respective comedy movies have never been liked by film critics.

Don't look at the later generations of film critics who praised Zhou Xingxing so highly. Before his presence was far away, film critics also looked down on him...it was not until "The King of Comedy" that this situation was reversed.

Then... 30 years later, "The New King of Comedy" hit rock bottom again.

"After this drama, in October, the company is also preparing to release three dramas: "Young and Dangerous 5", "Fear Room 4" and "Gambler"." Jiang Zhiqiang said to Wu Xiaozu beside him, "If everything goes well, "Eight Immortals Hotel" "Maybe it will be released in time for Halloween."

""Gambler"?" Wu Xiaozu was puzzled.

"Liu Zhenwei feels that the gambling film series can be further explored. He is planning to let Anita Mui, Lai Ming, Qiu Shuzhen and Wu Mengda star in a new theme gambling film."

"It is best to complete market research. Gambling films appear in large numbers, and market fatigue will inevitably occur. It is difficult to put up the sign of "1024 Locomotive", and it is also easy to fall down.

Even if it is really to make money, the quality of the movie must be guaranteed...don’t lose the big for the small.”

Wu Xiaozu bluntly reminded, "Although bad movies can make money, they will have a negative effect on the stock price."

"I will remind Liu Zhenwei."

Jiang Zhiqiang's face became solemn, he thought about it and suggested: "Should we establish a new label? As you said, it is not easy to put up the sign of Locomotive 1024, but the company has passed the director star plan. Can the works of some new directors and low-cost films be placed on other labels? Hollywood companies must also have subsidiaries that specialize in releasing low-cost films..."

"You seem to have something else to say?" Wu Xiaozu asked with a smile.

"What I think is that small labels and branches can also provide equity incentives to these creators." Jiang Zhiqiang blurted out without hesitation.

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Wu Xiaozu confirmed the proposal with a smile.

It is difficult for human relationships to bind talents.

"Jianghu Emergency Pictures should also be included under the banner of Locomotive 1024. It mainly develops Lll-level movies and R-level movies.

Then develop a label to be responsible for cult movies or B-level movies. At the same time, you can also open a company that specializes in making video movies." When Wu Xiaozu mentioned video movies, he was thinking of "Internet University" and TV series production.

In fact, the development of Hong Kong films can survive on a special niche route...

The videotape market and later the VCD and DVD markets have a life cycle of at least 10-12 years. It is possible to establish a complete ladder promotion mechanism, which is definitely a very beneficial thing for the company.

Crew/assistant/assistant director/→Commercial film director→Video tape/CD/online major/TV series→Cinema movie director ensures that there are enough opportunities, which will be very attractive to talents.

Mainly, such training opportunities can be completed within the group.

"I'll go back and discuss it with Mr. Su." Jiang Zhiqiang was eager to get started. Wu Xiaozu's support undoubtedly doubled his confidence. Wu Xiaozu recruited Su Liyao as the group president.

He put his mind on film creation and planned to go to Vietnam for a trip that day, but he promised to prepare the new movie in Mecca as soon as possible.

"By the way, does Mr. Su mean that the network can be closed?" Jiang Zhiqiang thought of the plan and couldn't help but sigh: "This opportunity is really a pity."

"It's normal, a centipede insect will not freeze until death. Don't be anxious -" Wu Xiaozu didn't take it seriously.

"Perhaps it would be better for me to stay alive." When he said this, he nodded and smiled at the few people walking not far away.

"Sir Wu——"

Wearing a double-breasted suit, a spotted tie, and a corsage on his chest, the gentle Xiang Sheng smiled and took the initiative to greet Wu Xiaozu.

The middle-aged man with a dark face, long eyebrows and deep nasolabial folds beside him is Zhang Guozhong, the boss of Yi Neng Pictures, and those at the end of the crane are Xiang Hao and Chen Lan.

"Xiang Sheng—"

Wu Xiaozu also came forward with a smile. This was the first time the two met after the anti-gangster parade on Hong Kong Island.

Xiang Shisan and Xiang Lao Shi suppressed Xiang Lao Qi and Xiang Bo together, and at the same time... Wu Xiaozu firmly believed that Wan Chai Silly Meow was the two brothers who eradicated the roots and cleaned up the family.

Once ashore, Wu Xiaozu no longer wanted to participate in this method.

Violent methods can really make people confused about the direction, and the main reason is that they cannot be put on the stage.

"You don't want to say hello to us when you come back. Let's go get together together."

Xiang Hao, who was wearing a black suit with a floral tie, also smiled with a slumped face. Chen Lan beside him was even more enthusiastic and said with a flowery smile: "Wu Sheng is so low-key, isn't he busy with some big business?"

"There's no such thing as a big deal... I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes... I've been dealing with Hengxing Entertainment matters during this period." Wu Xiaozu laughed at himself.

Recently, the action circle of Hengxing Entertainment has also heard about it. In just a few days, many people have "resigned". Many people in the industry laughed and said that the naughty kid of Hengxing Entertainment was finally remembered by his father to take charge of it.

"Axing is really popular now." Xiang Sheng looked downstairs at Zhou Xingxing who was surrounded by entertainment reporters, and couldn't help but smile.

"He works hard enough and is very popular with the audience."

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and echoed, "Nowadays, the market is very welcoming to comedies, so it is natural for Xingzi to be popular."

A few people chatted for a few words before leaving.
