"I wonder what kind of gambling movie Mr. Fang has prepared for Shaw Brothers?"
He Hongshen crossed his legs and folded his hands on his knees.
“It is said to be a gambling film, but it can also be said to be a gambling cessation film.”
As soon as Fang Yan said these words, Gong Xie, He Chaoqiong, Di Bola and others were shocked. Round stare, you actually asked the gambling king to invest in a gambling rehabilitation film?
Isn’t that equivalent to asking tobacco companies to invest in sponsoring smoking cessation advertisements? It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageousness, it’s so outrageous!
He Hongshen raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Fang, are you joking? If you ask me to invest in a gambling movie, wouldn't I be shooting myself in the foot?"
Fang Yan said: "Actually, this movie is said to be a gambling movie. But it’s also a gambling cessation film. It’s said to be a gambling cessation film, but it can also be a gambling film.”
Gong Qie, He Chaoqiong and the others. The more he listened, the more confused he became. However, the more this happened, the more He Hongshen's interest was aroused:
"Mr. Fang's words sound quite mysterious."
"There is something in the eyes of a thousand people. A Thousand Hamlets, whether this movie can make people think about gambling depends entirely on itself."
Fang Yan said: "There is a saying, 'When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a sergeant hears the Tao, he lives or perishes; when a junior man hears the Tao, he laughs. Not laughing is not enough to practice the Tao.' If you ignore it, you should refrain from gambling. It can be regarded as a comedy gambling film that can make people laugh. ”
< br>He Hongshen was so intrigued that he finally couldn't help but say: "I wonder what the story of such a gambling movie is about?"
"Before we talk about it, let's have a drink first."< br>
Fang Yan raised the wine glass that had sobered up.
He Hongshen and He Chaoqiong also raised their glasses, touched them lightly, and then drank the wine in unison.
Di Bora poured wine for everyone in a wise manner, staring at Fang Yan closely, placing all her hopes on him.
“Ahem.”
Fang Yan cleared his throat, and what he wanted to talk about was naturally not "The God of Gamblers". Although it is a masterpiece that has completely risen in gambling movies, the movie's portrayal of the God of Gamblers, It extremely beautifies the image of the profession of gambler. To be honest, it does not meet the purpose of my creation.
In fact, what he wanted to write was "The Gambler". Zhou Xingxing, a young man from the mainland with supernatural powers, came to Hong Kong to join his third uncle.
However, compared to the original version, I want to add the fate and consequences of bad gambling to the role of Third Uncle and integrate it into the "flip-flop" played by Miley Long in "Baby Project".
He was addicted to gambling, was in a bad situation, and lived a miserable life. Not to mention that he was often humiliated by creditors who threw paint on his door, and was forced to pay debts everywhere. This is a true portrayal of Wu Mengda's gambling addiction in the first half of his life.
Fortunately, his nephew Zhou Xingxing came forward and used his special powers to help him pay off his gambling debts. He originally thought that the third uncle could use this to rebuild his life, but he did not expect that the third uncle regarded Zhou Xingxing as a cash cow and thought that relying on his special powers to gamble , can be regarded as a way to make a fortune. The third uncle taught Xing to use the God of Gamblers as his idol, carry forward his gambling skills, and become a new generation of gambling sage, so he took Xing to make a living in Hong Kong.
As a result, he accidentally got involved in the struggle for hegemony of the "World Gambling King". The third uncle finally realized that he should not regard his nephew as a cash cow. In order to save the third uncle, Zhou Xingxing also went to the special With no functions at all, he started a desperate battle with Mr. Hong.
Compared with gambling films such as "The God of Gamblers" and "The Gambler", although "The God of Gamblers" is also a movie based on gambling, it is the first time that the concept of superpowers and special functions has been added to gambling. In the film.
The intention is obvious. Even Zhou Xingxing, who has special powers, cannot guarantee that he will win ten times out of ten bets. How can those who want to win by luck, how can they make a fortune through gambling?
In addition, there are also many plots about failed gambling, such as a neighbor who wanted to make money for medical treatment by betting on horse racing, but lost everything. Fortunately, Zhou Xingxing played cards and helped them change their fate.
Such plots are mostly presented in humorous scenes, but they always imply that the consequences of gambling must be disastrous.
"This...this..."
He Chaoqiong was shocked and looked at Fang Yan in disbelief.
“Mr. Fang’s story is indeed very interesting.”
Ho Hong-shen said with a smile: "Whether it is a gambling film, a gambling cessation film, or a simple comedy, it all depends on the audience."
"As for actors, I plan to let Zhou Xingchi play Zhou Xingchi, Let Wu Mengda play his third uncle. They are both popular now, both in terms of acting skills and popularity, I think it will be no problem."
Fang Yan said: "If nothing else happens, I will definitely make a lot of money after it is released. As for whether it can attract business to the casino, it depends on whether Mr. He thinks it is worth it..."
< br>He Chaoqiong immediately turned his attention to He Hongshen. No matter how well he concealed it, he could still faintly feel that his heart was already moved. With the momentum of "Baby, Wisdom and Stars", if it were not for Xie Xian's bad gambling, the box office would exceed 30 million, which is just around the corner. And if "The Gambler" can achieve a score of 70 or 80, it can attract more than 2 million moviegoers. Even if you don't earn a penny of dividends per person, the advertising effect of attracting gamblers is worth every penny.
"But I have my word first. My name will not be signed on the script, but my wife will serve as the producer and assistant director of the film."
Fang Yan looked at Gong Xie, and Gong Xie nodded in understanding.
"Dad, Mr. Fang, I have a heartfelt request!"
He Chaoqiong's eyes lit up and his mind became active.
“Do you want to participate in the filming of the movie?”
He Hongshen guessed his daughter's thoughts immediately.
"Is that okay, Dad?"
He Chaoqiong was already very interested in literature, movies and drama, and she went to Xiangjiang for an even more unknown purpose.
“You should ask Mr. Fang about this first, right?”
He Hongshen kicked the ball over.
Fang Yan is very business-like. Of course, the film investors can send a representative to supervise and manage the preparation, shooting and production of the entire film in the name of producer or producer. As for the choice of this representative, it is up to He Hongshen and others to decide internally.
Seeing his request being kicked around like a ball, He Chaoqiong could no longer hold it in and stared at He Hongshen.
Fang Yan smoothed things over, "I don't think this matter is urgent. The top priority is that if Mr. He is really interested, it would be best to call Uncle Shao Liu and discuss it within the next few days."
"It should be like this, it should be like this."
He Hongshen smiled, "But before that, I still want to thank Mr. Fang again. I like your return gift very much. ”
"As long as you like it, then..."
Fang Yan glanced at Di Bora calmly.
He Hongshen understood, "I can help you solve your current problem, but you have to agree to one condition. "
Dibora asked nervously: "What are the conditions? "
He Hongshen smiled and said: "Come to the dance I specially organized for Mr. and Mrs. Fang, and dance with me again. ”
"No problem, Mr. He!"
Dibora was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and thanked He Hongshen with tears of gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. He!"
"If you want to thank, just Thank you Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang.”
He Hongshen waved his hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Fang! Thank you, Miss Gong!”
Deborah was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing Gong Qie hurriedly come forward to comfort her, Fang Yan winked at her quietly, and just for a moment, asked the gambling king to pay him! (End of this chapter)
