Produced by DreamWorks Studios, produced by Hu Huizhong, co-directed by Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Xingchi, the film "The Gambler" was screened in DreamWorks theaters.

At the same time, "Out of Africa", which made nearly 90 million US dollars at the box office in North America, was also screened on the Liberty Cinema and Anle Cinema.

The films released at the same time as "The Gambler" and "Out of Africa" ​​are: Golden Harvest's "Rich Train", "Best Partner Saves the Poor Woman" by Xinyicheng, "North and South Shaolin" by Shaw Brothers Production Bank, Debao's "In Love with a Married Man" (adapted from "Goodbye Seven Days of Love").

Hu Huizhong was very nervous at the midnight show on the first day of "The Gambler"!

Nowadays, Hu Huizhong, who wants money and money, children and children, and love can be considered as love, the only pursuit is career.

Therefore, Hu Huizhong really wanted to be the general manager of the DreamWorks Film Company, so that he could show his ambitions.

And Hu Huizhong's first film "The Gambler" personally supervised is undoubtedly a very important step in Hu Huizhong's career.

Therefore, Hu Huizhong will inevitably be a little nervous.

in addition-

Midnight shows have been around since the 1970s, and are film screenings where films are marketed and the creators receive feedback from audiences.

Most of the producers and directors will attend in order to know the audience's reaction for the first time.

Midnight theaters are mostly located in downtown areas, and the time slot is scheduled at 11:30 pm on weekends. The audience is mainly the younger generation of Hong Kong, such as students, young couples, and urban night travelers. They give the most direct feedback on the film's likes and dislikes.

Midnight shows are the litmus test of a movie's quality, often predicting a movie's box-office prospects. According to the feedback from the audience, the director will re-edit the film and change the dialogue to suit the audience's preferences. The characteristics of Hong Kong Film Entertainment are fully revealed here.

For the midnight show, many directors have a skin-to-skin feeling - the audience watching the midnight show, if they don't like it, they will directly applaud. Even shouting "Who the **** is the director? Stand up for me!" or "Who the **** wrote the script? Find out that rice bucket!"

It is precisely because of this that many producers, directors and screenwriters dare not attend the midnight show - Xu Ke was forced to be carried into the midnight show by the producer Wu Siyuan, and ran away as soon as he reached the entrance of the theater; Yuan Heping rarely entered the midnight show. In Er Dongsheng's "Erotic Men and Women", there was a vivid description of the midnight scene, and the scene was very hot.

The midnight show is a hurdle that producers and directors must pass, because sooner or later, producers and directors who want box office results will have to face the audience at the midnight show.

Seeing that Hu Huizhong was nervous, Xu Cun took the initiative to accompany Hu Huizhong, Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Xingchi to watch the midnight show of "The Gambler", helping Hu Huizhong to spend the two hours that made her extremely nervous.

actually-

The audience at the midnight show also cheered and clapped for the good movie they saw, like a riot.

For example, "The Gambler" released today.

At the beginning of the film, Zhou Xingchi's special abilities were revealed. Can the audience be interested in such a big gimmick? Curiosity is common to everyone, and the audience won't give up on the show and yell at this point - they all want to see what Zhou Xingchi's supernatural powers can do, and it's definitely not limited to drinking free sodas.

Therefore, as soon as "The Saint of Gamblers" began to be shown, some audiences shouted:

"Special function? It's interesting!"

"A-Xinghui's special abilities must be worth seeing!"

"Supernatural abilities plus gambling? Shouldn't it be much worse than "God of Gamblers"?"

"…"

Hearing the audience's remarks, Hu Huizhong had been holding Xu Cun's hand tightly since turning off the lights, only to loosen it slightly. Xu Cun took this opportunity to pat Hu Huizhong's hand, indicating that she should not be nervous.

"Uncle has been in Hong Kong for decades, and he didn't get beaten up that week? I'm happy! What can they do to me?"

"Hey, brother! We all come from all over the world. Maybe five hundred years ago, we were one family, right? There's no reason to kill each other for such a trivial matter as the death of Big Brother, right? I understand very well, because my big brother died when I was three years old! Not only that, but my little brother died when I was four!"

"…"

"Dare to show a thousand in front of me, you will be my stick and drag it out! Everyone, I now officially announce that the winner of this year's gambling king competition is Mr. Zuo Songxing, the representative of Taiwan!"

actually-

Except for the gimmick of adding special functions, "The Gambler" doesn't have much new ideas.

But now it is the hottest trend of gambling films.

In addition, Zuo Songxing played by Zhou Xingchi is a kind-hearted and sober mainlander who is stupid but does not lose the small person. The mutual care with the third uncle and the neighbors also shows the warmth of the lower-class characters, which can arouse the attention of the audience. resonance.

Coupled with the innate comedy talents of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda.

It adds some light color to the already gunpowder-flavored gambling film. There is no shooting, revenge, blood and violence, but some humor, humor, and some senseless atmosphere are added.

The audience liked this kind of "The Holy Gambler" so much that they kept applauding.

From the audience's reaction, Hu Huizhong knew that she should have succeeded in this step.

At the same time, Hu Huizhong admired the god-like Xu Cun even more—Xu Cun casually gave her an idea of ​​a 'special function plus gambling film', then gave her a simple story, and then recommended a few directors and directors to her. Actors can come up with a movie that makes the vast majority of the audience watch and applaud. How could Hu Huizhong not admire Xu Cun?

…

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Cun and Hu Huizhong left the Taiping Theater through the back door a little early.

As for dealing with the midnight audience, it was all left to Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Xingchi. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

After getting into his car, Xu Cun prepared to let the driver Qian Yaozu (Tu Weihua was still 'protecting' Yuan Tianfan, so Qian Yaozu acted as Xu Cun's driver and bodyguard during this time.) and drove the car to Zhu Baoyi and Zhang Manyu. - Tonight, Xu Cun is going to spend the night with Zhu Baoguai and Zhang Manyu.

But before Xu Cun told Qian Yaozu, Hu Huizhong said to Qian Yaozu, "Old Qian, go to my villa in Deep Water Bay."

Then, Hu Huizhong lay beside Xu Cun's ear and said, "Tonight, I will repay you well!"

Xu Cun hugged Hu Huizhong, and said sternly, "Can you do it alone?"

While speaking, Xu Cun had already put his hand into Hu Huizhong's clothes.

Hu Huizhong glanced at Qian Yaozu who was driving intently, then held down Xu Cun's hand that was walking away from her, and then whispered in Xu Cun's ear, "I am not the protagonist tonight, I have prepared two for you. A gift that must please you."
