Chapter 21 The Dragon Movie

Chapter 21 Longteng Movie ()

Zhang Bixuan is the owner rather than the manager of the company. In fact, it is never his turn to solve the tedious work. Often, he just simply assigns tasks, and then he does things that he is interested in, such as cultivating celebrities, which is very interesting.

In early March, Zhang Bixuan opened another Longteng Film Production Company with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. The company is just an empty shell, and Zhang Bixuan does not have any equipment and personnel needed to shoot a movie. Fortunately, there are countless talents in Hong Kong films. Zhang Bixuan first found 10 civilian employees to set up the framework of the film company. As for ordinary film talents, they sent people to search for the equipment on the street, and rented the equipment for well-known companies, and the actors and directors went to find it temporarily.

Before the film company opened, the company's boss Zhang Bixuan wrote a script himself. The dirty expressions that appeared many times during the script made people want to kick him in the face. This is a legendary story about Gao Jin, known as the "God of Gambling". The scene in which the Gambling God chewed chocolate to defeat his opponent is a classic. The main content of the script is as follows:

"The famous Hong Kong gambling god Gao Jin (Chow Yun-fat) made an appointment with the 'gambling demon' Chen Jincheng (Bao Hanlin) to fight the high seas a month later. As soon as Gao Jin arrived in Hong Kong, he fought with Nan Ge (Yang Zelin). Nan Ge instructed Vietnamese killers to chase Gao Jin. Daozi (Andy Lau) and his girlfriend Zhen (Wang Zuxian) accidentally saved Gao Jin, who fell into a trap and lost his memory. Daozi found out that he was proficient in gambling and used his talent to make money.

Daozi moved Gao Jin home to take care of her. Seeing that Jin's wife Janet (Zhang Min) had been missing for many days, she wanted to call the police but was stopped by Jin's cousin Gao Yi (Long Fang). She raped and killed Janet when she got drunk that night. On the other hand, Gao Yijue cooperated with Chen Jincheng to kill Gao Jin. After learning that he entered the hiding place, he chased and killed him together! Long Wu appeared to take everyone away, and was knocked down by a taxi to the hospital for treatment. He gradually returned his memory, but forgot what happened when he lost his memory. Daozi wanted to recognize him and inform him that Yi was not good, but was beaten. On the day of the decisive battle, Chen Jincheng three men set up a traitor to let Jin fall into a place of defeat and started a dragon and tiger fight..."

If you use this content to write a novel and publish it on the Internet in the future, just watching Gao Jin's wife be raped, you will lose the situation when you revise a book. I have to say that the heartbeat of the audience when watching a movie is stronger than being a reader who reads a novel.

That’s right, it’s “God of Gambling”! Zhang Bixuan took out the highest-grossing “God of Gambling” in 1989 in advance. Maybe he would squeeze out the local box office champion of Hong Kong in 1987 “Flying Eagle Plan 2: Dragon Brother Tiger Brother”. Zhang Bixuan wanted to see who is stronger, Jackie Chan or Chow Yun-fat!

This is a film that makes the ordinary "gambling" myth. Originally, this film was the box office champion of Hong Kong movies in 1989, with a box office of 36.29 million, breaking the Hong Kong box office record. It is another champion work of Fa Ge, and it is also the first champion work of Wang Jing and Andy Lau. This film was made by Fa Ge, borrowed from Yongsheng. The New Art City declined, and Yongsheng began to become the new film overlord. Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng brothers were originally the leader of the largest gangster in Hong Kong, and therefore, the superstars who have filmed Yongsheng films such as Fa Ge, Stephen Chow, have all become a chaotic relationship with the underworld.

However, this time, Longteng took the lead in filming. It is still unknown whether Yongsheng Company can find another film of the same level to make up for the losses. Now, Yongsheng still doesn’t know that they will invest in such a classic in the future.

"God of Gambling" caters to the citizens' mentality of Hong Kong people who dream of making money by gambling. The local box office in Hong Kong reached 37 million, setting a new record for Hong Kong's local box office. The biggest drawback of the Hong Kong film industry is "following the trend". The great success of "God of Gambling" has led to a trend of rushing to make "gambling" films in the film industry. Films such as "Supreme", "Royal Gambling Ship", "Gambling Boom", "Gambling Man", and "Gambling Saint" were released one after another, and the box office of each department is good, such as "Gambling Saint", etc.

The films were released one after another, and the box office of each department was good. "The Gambling Saint" even broke the box office record of "The Gambling Saint" with a cap of 40 million yuan. This shocked many producers, like gamblers, and launched a bargaining chip in front of the gambling table. According to incomplete statistics, in 1991, there were only 20 films on the theme of "gambling" in Hong Kong, and even famous artists Tan Lin, Anita Mui, Cheng Yuling, and Andy Lau were also keen on performing "gambling" films.

In fact, "gambling" films are a kind of movie that fights wisdom, luck, and "delay" with dull content. The content is dull. The actors do not need superb acting skills. Even if they can make the audience laugh, they are qualified. However, you have to admit that all "gambling" films have not reached or surpassed Chow Yun-fat's "God of Gambling". In the minds of most movie fans, Gao Jin, who will not deliberately function or rub cards, is the true master of gambling. No latecomer can shake Chow Yun-fat's throne of Gambling's image!

Zhang Bixuan decided to use the original cast of "God of Gambling", so the director would use Wang Jing. Although he later made countless bad movies, he was quite talented in making gambling movies. Actors: Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau. Actress: Kim Hee-sun (who is "Xi'er" is not the most beautiful girl in South Korea), Zhang Min. He just simply replaced Joey Wong with Kim Hee-sun. Joey Wong was just a vase at this time, far from the beautiful image in "A Chinese Ghost Story". Zhang Bixuan thought that Joey Wong had too strong eyebrows and was okay in costume dramas, but wearing modern costumes was not good at all, which also affected the visual effect of the film. Although I'm sorry, at most, Zhang Bixuan had the opportunity to invest in a few costume dramas that were more suitable for her in the future. What's more, everyone's light in "God of Gambling" will be covered up by Fa Ge, and the supporting actresses will not be very popular.

Xier has been working tremblingly every day for the past few months. Since the last time Zhang Bixuan called her to the office, she has never looked for her alone. She thought that Zhang Bixuan had completely forgotten her, but Xier's "young" mind felt relaxed on the one hand, but on the other hand, she was also disappointed that Zhang Bixuan did not ask her to film.

Just as Xier returned to her calm life, she was having fun and laughing with office employees while working every day. She was living a very easy life, so Zhang Bixuan invited her to the office again~~~~

"Xi'er! Come and lie down in my office!" Zhang Bixuan's powerful shadow once again enveloped her fragile heart. Then, the last time, the vicious bodyguards, silently forced her toward Zhang Bixuan's office.

Wherever your eyes could be seen, Zhang Bixuan turned his back to her, holding a high-legged wine glass in his hand, shaking the wine that was redder than blood.

"Ah!" Xier felt a crisis in her body again. With a sad and angry mood, Xier burst into hysterical anger. Tears burst out from the corners of her eyes and screamed at Zhang Bixuan, who was sitting opposite her wide desk: "I thought you were a lot of people and would let me go. But I never expected that you were such a petty person! The surname Zhang, I know you are rich and powerful, and this girl can't beat you! I knew you would be thinking about the beauty of this girl. Don't you just want to join me? Come on, I'm fed up! Come on, let's go to me now!" Xier waved her arms and held a pen on the table and stabbed it hard on the smooth table.

Zhang Bixuan looked at her coldly, and Xier suddenly felt cold all over. She thought that a few months ago, a gangster who offended him in Hong Kong died on the streets, and her feverish head woke up and said weakly: "If you really go to the chuang with me, I'm sorry, I don't object. But at least I have to pay some compensation... Hey, at least I have to be treated as a mistress and a third wife. How about it, I'm pretty pretty..."

"Have you said enough?"

"Haha, enough, I didn't talk much before. When I saw Mr. Zhang, I felt like he was in love, so the words naturally popped up." Xi'er's eyes were circling, not knowing what she was thinking again.

Zhang Bixuan said: "It's my turn to say enough! I invested in a movie, you can prepare it, and go to Longteng Film Production Company in 3 days to report it. The salary is 20,000 yuan! Kim Hee Sun, listen, you are not qualified to join me now!" The halberd pointed at her nose.

Xier felt that her eyes were covered by a huge finger shadow, and her face turned pale again by Zhang Bixuan's words...

When Zhang Bixuan took out 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to invite Wang Jing as director, Fatty Wang came over to take on the show, and he deserved to be the king of bad movies that he had filmed when he had a film. Among all the actors, Chow Yun-fat paid up to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, while Andy Lau only paid 300,000 yuan and Zhang Min 50,000 yuan. The poor "Xi'er" happily received a pay of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the rental staff, equipment, venues and promotional expenses, Zhang Bixuan invested 8 million Hong Kong dollars in this film.
