Chapter five hundred and forty-one. Break the record again

Let’s talk about the movie, one month after its official release.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when everyone in Hong Kong was talking about how "God of Gamblers" was lively, there was another scene in Chen Xiaotang's office. There was a pile of documents on his desk, but those were not important, because only the piece of paper printed after statistics in his hand was truly the list that could reveal the final results!

"We, today finally ushered in the most important moment, that is the overall box office result of "God of Gambling" for one month's release!" Chen Xiaotang's face was full of expectations when he spoke, because he himself didn't know what the content was, and how big the number was! Because what he wanted was a surprise!

He turned to look at the others in the room, and finally shivered and lowered his head and slowly opened the paper. His pupils contracted and took two steps back. He suddenly shouted: "The total box office results of "God of Gambling" in Hong Kong and foreign markets are -------42.67 million! It is 42.67 million!"

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang's voice completely overshadowed any other sound, or in other words, everyone was only listening to his voice.

You should know that when Hong Kong movies were at its most glorious, the highest box office was only more than 38 million. For example, the "Best Partner" series of New Art City, later as the ticket price increased, the overall box office of Hong Kong also entered a high-profile period. At this time, Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Plan" series broke through the box office mark of 40 million and sold well in the external market, but now... the first drama of Magic Shadow Entertainment actually exceeded 40 million!

What kind of miracle is this?!

This miracle is like someone in his previous life holding "The Flowers of War" and swearing to point a billion to the sword, but ending up killing the streets! Another example is someone who relies on "Review of the Anthology 1942" to rush for one billion again, but ends up tragically.

While these great gods were stumbled one after another, a young director broke through the billion-dollar curse with the movie "Lost in Thailand" and reshapes the glory of Chinese!

It's so thrilling, incredible!

It's such a counterattack. It's unreasonable!

You should know that Yongsheng's "Wesley" invested nearly 10 million yuan, and with science fiction and high-tech gimmicks, the "Working Emperor" released at the same time was a collection of superstars and a gathering of big names... But in such an atmosphere, "God of Gambling" starring Chen Xiaotang took the lead, won an astonishing box office, and broke the record again, breaking the curse of 40 million!

For the Hong Kong film industry, this is the first film in history to exceed 40 million box office. It is also a classic work.

For company staff and cast members, this number is definitely a glorious and proud number. Even Liu Dehua disappeared even the initial unhappiness. He was the starring film with a box office of 42 million yuan. What kind of capital is this in the film industry? Even idiots know it.

However, what makes Chen Xiaotang happy is that he scored 50% of the box office. In addition to the six movie theaters owned by Moying, after rough calculations, the drama will be really good. Moying Entertainment will make a profit of 20 million!!!

Hahaha! I want to laugh to the sky!

This is a psychological portrayal of Chen Xiaotang at this moment!

Hahaha! "42.67 million!"

This number has been floating in the night sky of Hong Kong, and this will surely be an enduring existence. At least Chen Xiaotang himself feels that "it" will be as long as diamonds! Even if history changes, people will not forget "it"!

...

As for the unprecedented success achieved by "God of Gamblers", Chen Xiaotang, as the boss, waved his hand and decided to hold a celebration banquet with a smile. He used to run by someone else, but now it's time for him to enjoy this kind of taste by himself.

At the celebration banquet, Magic Film Company invited all the company's contracted artists and filmmakers. In addition, Chen Xiaotang also invited some friends in the circle, of course, reporters are indispensable. Chen Xiaotang raised his wine glass, his expression was full of happiness. He looked at the people around him and shouted: "Cheer to our success, to our success, to our success, to our all!"

"Do it!" Everyone was excited to drink all the wine. After accepting the reporter's photos together, they talked about their own things.

Chen Xiaotang came to the side of fat man Wang Jing and others, and laughed and said, "Do you feel very happy? There must be many more happy banquets like today!"

"Do you know what everyone was saying to me just now?" The fat man's performance was very strange. He looked at Chen Xiaotang with a smile: "They said they read you right. You are indeed very talented. Just a movie has broken many historical records in Hong Kong. The development of Magic Shadow Entertainment will definitely get better and better in the future, and the future will be brighter with you!"

"Is that true?" Chen Xiaotang raised his glass and said to everyone: "I borrow your auspicious words. I, Chen Xiaotang, here to assure you that the day when Magic Shadow Entertainment grows in the future will be the day when you all become heroes! Then everyone will have meat to eat meat and drink wine together! I will not let you down!"

Chen Xiaotang's words were very "rabbit" but a few of them in the movie were literati, but these very "rabbit" words made them feel more comfortable.

Seeing that everyone was there, Chen Xiaotang was in high spirits. He thought that due to the shortage of funds in the company, many people who joined Moxiu Entertainment had no work. Fortunately, Chen Xiaotang was open-minded and allowed his artists and filmmakers who signed film contracts to start working with other film companies, so nothing happened.

When Chen Xiaotang thought of this, he felt that he was very owed to everyone, so he took the opportunity to say, "I know that many of you have been idle for a while, but that's because the company has just started and it's impossible for too many movies to be made for everyone. Moreover, the company emphasizes quality, and it's normal for a movie to be played for a year."

"However, I am creating enough conditions for everyone to strive for excellence." Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly: "The equipment is all the most advanced, and the screenwriter can modify the script at any time and have a relaxed creative environment. This is not the best, but this is the best condition I can give you at present!"

"Now our first drama has started well, and we have achieved good results. We have sufficient funds for the time being. In other words, even if you want to continue to be idle in the next period, it is impossible!" Chen Xiaotang smiled and looked at the silent directors: "Chen Jiashang, your "The Martial Arts Top Scholar Su Qier" should speed up; Li Lichi, while you are the producer of "The Martial Arts Top Scholar", you write a script for me, and then you also direct a drama; and there is also a fat man, just follow me to shoot "The Martial Arts Hero"..."

"Anyway, our Moxiu Entertainment is about to show off. Now I am eager to be talented. If anyone among you has a good director and actor to introduce me to me, I will be grateful!" Chen Xiaotang said with a laugh.

"Boss, are you talking about it?" someone suddenly interrupted.

"Of course it's true. If the person you introduced is good, maybe I will give you a reward---Well, if you introduce a good director, I will reward you with 10,000 yuan! In short, the more you have, the better. If anyone can introduce 100 people, I will just take out one million!"

Chen Xiaotang is definitely willing to do his best. Yes, to grow up, talent is the key. You can’t let yourself get on the show. Even if you are exhausted, you probably can’t let the company develop much. Everyone has high firewood and many people are the king!

After the banquet, a reporter from Ming Pao asked Chen Xiaotang to do an interview. Since Chen Xiaotang himself is also a shareholder of Ming Pao, of course he had to take care of his "ownership".

The two of them were talking slowly in the hotel room. The reporter's surname was Fang and named Fang Jiabao. He and Chen Xiaotang's sister Chen Xiaoxiao were colleagues in the newspaper. They had met Chen Xiaotang several times and had interviews. They were also old friends. Therefore, they didn't have any politeness when talking.

"Tang Zai, why did you star in a gambling drama? Are you not afraid of this going to harm the audience? Do you bet? Oh, by the way, you are a famous gambling god in Macau... It is said that you have earned 20 million in one night!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled, and rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, I don't gamble. As for being named the God of Gambling, 20 million a night, it's all a coincidence. How to say it, it's like a person who is lucky enough to win the lottery! So in essence, I don't like gambling, nor do I agree with people gambling! As for why I want to take on such a drama, the theme of this drama was first chosen by me. Because in my opinion, since I want to make a movie, I have to choose some interesting themes. But I thought about gambling. I think why gambling cannot be expressed in the form of a movie? If I want to express it, what should I do?"

"Finally, I thought, why don't gambling be written into a very specific thing, just like the profession of journalists, why can't there be professional gamblers?" Chen Xiaotang admired himself very much, and actually made it like a real one. "So, I checked the information and found that there are professional gamblers, which became the center of this film. I wanted to create a legendary character and make gambling art an art in his hands, so I made this film."

"As for whether it will teach the audience badly, I think there is no need to worry about this." Chen Xiaotang smiled brightly: "Most of the audience entering the audience have self-control and self-thinking skills. They have enough ability to judge what is real. If there are murder scenes and plots in a film, it does not mean that we are inspiring the audience to kill."

"You are so amazing." Fang Jiabao didn't know whether he admired Chen Xiaotang's screenwriter skills or admired his typhoon when facing reporters. "However, there is a question, I have always wanted to ask, since it is such a good drama, why did Fa Ge suddenly refuse to film before? Is it as the rumors say, because Miss Chen Yulian has a good impression of you, and has praised you in front of Fa Ge more than once, saying that she admires your talent very much, which makes Fa Ge jealous, so she temporarily stopped acting and changed to film "Wesley" by Yongsheng Entertainment?!"

Chen Xiaotang was stunned by this explanation!

Choosing, Brother Fa is jealous of me?

Is there any?? (To be continued)
