Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"I haven't had time to watch the movie "God of Gamblers" yet, but I heard from people who have seen it that it was really good."

Since everyone is engaged in the film industry, it is inevitable that they will talk about movies when chatting.

It happened that last night was the premiere of "God of Gamblers", and Wang Jing and the other three were the main creative team of "God of Gamblers", so Tsui Hark naturally talked about the topic of "God of Gamblers".

Hearing what Tsui Hark said, Wang Jing and the others did not feel any happy, because they all thought that Tsui Hark was just talking politely.

"Although we don't know how much the final box office will be, we really put a lot of effort into filming this movie. I hope the audience can see our efforts in the film."

When Wen Jun said this, the corners of his eyes drifted to Lin Daoqiu from time to time. It seemed as if he said this on purpose in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Making a movie can't just rely on hard work. The right time, place and people are indispensable. Even if you do everything well, you still need a little luck in the end. What do you three think of your luck?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, the three of them looked at each other.

However, it was obvious from their eyes that the other party did not have good luck. If they had been lucky, they would not be like this.

"It seems that you also know that your luck is not very good. If you have time, go to the temple and pay homage. Maybe your bad luck can be removed..."

"I heard that there is a temple called Longshan Temple that is very spiritual. You can go and pay homage to it when you have time in the future."

They were all born and raised in Xiangjiang, but they had never heard of a temple called Longshan Temple in Xiangjiang.

The three of them looked at each other and didn't know where Longshan Temple was, so Wen Juan boldly asked.

"Brother Qiu, where is the Longshan Temple you mentioned? I have never heard of such a temple in Xiangjiang for so many years?"

Wen Jun looked at Lin Daoqiu with confusion, because he had never heard of this temple.

If it was really spiritual, Wen Juan would really want to pay his respects and see if it could really turn bad luck into good luck.

Shi Nansheng next to her was already holding back her laughter, because she happened to know where Longshan Temple was.

"Longshan Temple is not in Xiangjiang. It is a very famous temple on Baodao."

After hearing Lin Daoqiu's answer, Wen Juan's face suddenly fell.

This is not even a hint, it is directly equivalent to telling them clearly that sending them to the treasure island is almost a certainty.

"How likely is it that Director Xu thinks "God of Gamblers" can win 60 million box office?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned his head and looked at Tsui Hark and asked.

In fact, this question is easy for Tsui Hark to answer, because the answer is absolutely impossible.

How can a box office of 60 million be so easy to win? Even this big-budget "Legend of Wesley" dare not say that it will definitely get a box office of 60 million in the end.

But with Wong Jing and the others around, Tsui Hark couldn't say in front of them that "God of Gamblers" would not do well at the box office.

"It's not impossible, but it might be a bit difficult."

Tsui Hark said this very politely, but he almost said it was impossible.

Wong Jing and the others didn't expect Tsui Hark to say anything nice, because they themselves knew that it was wishful thinking for "God of Gamblers" to have a box office of over 60 million.

"In that case, do you think "God of Gamblers" may still create miracles?"

Tsui Hark nodded, although he didn't think so in his heart.

"What do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu turned his head and looked at Wang Jing and the others and asked.

If they had had the confidence, the three of them wouldn't look like this now.

"Even Tsui Hark has confidence in this drama. How can you give up? It's only two weeks anyway. The year has just passed and you know what the final result will be, so you might as well relax and spend the New Year well and spend more time with me."

Spend time with your family."

Lin Daoqiu's words didn't sound wrong, but there was a strong hint in Wang Jing's ears.

Lin Daoqiu asked them to spend more time with their families now, doesn't it mean that they may have less time to spend with their families in the future?

Now that everything has been said, they don't expect Lin Daoqiu to show any kindness.

"Director Xu has three movies that will be released in the next year. It seems that your results will be good this year."

"The Swordsman", "A Better Tomorrow", and "A Chinese Ghost Story", Tsui Hark will confirm that three dramas will be released one after another this year.

It can be said that this year has been a very productive year for Tsui Hark, and he thinks so himself.

"This is only possible thanks to Mr. Lin's strong support. Without your support, these three dramas would not be possible."

Tsui Hark knew very well that the reason why he was able to launch three dramas at the same time was entirely because of Lin Daoqiu, and the script of "A Better Tomorrow" was also written by Lin Daoqiu.

However, these three films can only be said to be mid-level productions, and there is still a long way to go before they are big-budget and blockbusters.

Today Tsui Hark specially brought Shi Nansheng to pay Lin Daoqiu New Year greetings, hoping that after this year's three films are released, he can get a chance to make a big production or even a blockbuster from Lin Daoqiu.

Tsui Hark went to join Bao Shaogang in order to film "The New Shushan Swordsman", but in the end he was defeated miserably by Lin Daoqiu and returned to New Oriental in despair.

Tsui Hark has been working hard in filming in the past few years and has not put forward any unreasonable ideas, but this does not mean that his eager heart has calmed down.

While eating, Shi Nansheng asked Lin Daoqiu's opinion sideways.

"Mr. Lin, there haven't been any blockbusters released in Hong Kong for a long time. And with Brother Long moving to Hollywood, the number of blockbusters in Xiangjiang is getting smaller and smaller. I think some changes must be made at this time. What do you think?"

Naturally, if you want to promote a star, you have to put on a show, and it's a big show. Although Shi Nansheng didn't say it explicitly, Lin Daoqiu already understood it clearly.

"It will happen naturally when the time comes, don't worry."

Lin Daoqiu's words were unclear, but after hearing this, Tsui Hark's mouth corners immediately turned up slightly.

He guessed that the time Lin Daoqiu mentioned was to wait for the three movies to be released to see the final result.

If the result is good, he will definitely be able to get a script from Lin Daoqiu, as well as a huge production fee.

When he thought of this, Tsui Hark couldn't wait to release those three movies as soon as possible, and then get the opportunity to make a blockbuster movie.

Although the topic Shi Nansheng was talking about had nothing to do with Wang Jing and the others, they were not fools and could all hear the implication of Lin Daoqiu.

Seeing the excited expression on Tsui Hark's face, Wang Jing and the others felt envious and helpless. After all, they couldn't save themselves now, so how could they compete for the opportunity to make a blockbuster movie.
