Movie tycoon

Chapter 453 "God of Gamblers" Starts Up (Part [-])

It is said that the "record incident" performed by Chen Xiaotang came to an end; and Fa Ge resigned from "God of Gamblers" due to personal reasons. It's a gimmick, so some people say that "God of Gamblers" is difficult to produce, so don't watch it!

But things reversed!

When Moying Entertainment announced that Chen Xiaotang himself would replace Fa Ge as the male lead "Gao Jin" in this drama, the entire entertainment circle was once again in an uproar.

Who is Chen Xiaotang?Today's hottest big singer star!

Compared with popularity and limelight, he is even better than Brother Fa!
Therefore, Chen Xiaotang's fans went crazy and shouted loudly: "Laughing is making a movie, we must join in!"

Chen Xiaotang's movie fans went crazy and shouted loudly: "Chen Xiaotang's movie is absolutely top-notch!"

As for other audience friends, they are also full of unspeakable expectations. After all, Chen Xiaotang's miracles in movies are obvious to all. Now his new movie has finally started shooting, so everyone is looking forward to it.

The time finally arrived on May 1984, 5, and the drama "God of Gamblers" was finally about to start.

As the lead actor and main investor of this drama, Chen Xiaotang naturally had to attend the opening ceremony.

So early this morning, Chen Xiaotang rushed to the set of Fushan Road where the filming of "God of Gamblers" started.

As the first big drama after the establishment of Moying Entertainment, the director Fatty Wang Jing seemed very solemn, busy and tossing inside and outside, deliberately making this opening ceremony very lively, which opened the eyes of "hands-off shopkeeper" Chen Xiaotang .

I saw a huge poster hanging in the center. On the poster were big heads of Chen Xiaotang and other leading actors.

Chen Xiaotang had pomade on his head, a big back, bright forehead, sharp and energetic eyes, and was sitting on a dragon chair at the moment, with one hand gently pressing on the armrest, and the other hand slowly He took a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.

On the left behind Chen Xiaotang is his apprentice Dao Zai. This role is played by Liu Dehua. Liu Dehua is wearing a cool black leather jacket, holding a knife in one hand, shining brightly, showing a heroic appearance.

On the right behind Chen Xiaotang is the Dongxing Crow who played the role of "Dragon Five" as a guest star. I saw him with a cropped cut and a serious face showing a trace of extreme cruelty. In Crow's own words, this photo It's downright cool.

Behind Chen Xiaotang is Zhou Huimin who plays the God of Gamblers' girlfriend. She has long hair and shawls, is as delicate as a flower, with an elegant smile on her face, and a jade hand gently resting on Chen Xiaotang's shoulder, graceful and luxurious.

Behind the poster is a world of big villains, including Wu Zhenyu who replaced Long Fang as "Gao Yi", Qin Pei who played the villain "Gambling King", and Cheng Kui'an who played "Da Kou Jiu".

Here I have to mention the stupid "Cheng Kui'an".

Before Cheng Kui'an joined the entertainment circle.He is a well-behaved farm boy.Later, he finally couldn't pay the tuition fee.Learned at 13.Served as a thug.Cheng Kui'an's first job was as a small worker in a film factory.From a low-level worker to a prop designer and lighting engineer. At the age of 17.He felt that he had no future in this line of work.I followed a few people to work in nightclubs in Mong Kok.When working as a thug, four people work together, but Cheng Kui'an is the most recognizable.The police arrested him.Because of the performance of "rules".Cheng Kui'an, who was originally sentenced to four years, was released in just over two years.after coming out.Determined to change his ways, he turned down an invitation from the nightclub owner.Back to the film factory to do part-time work.later.Director Lee Soo Hyun took a fancy to the appearance.Find him and ask him to star in the movie "Royal Rice".Playing an important role for the first time.Cheng Kui'an was scolded every day.Especially when he accidentally crashed and reimbursed a Porsche worth more than 100 million yuan, Li Xiuxian's face turned black at that time.He was scolded in public for hours.Eighteen generations of ancestors scolded it.But this guy is really tolerant, just learning to act while being scolded like this, in just one or two years, his acting skills have improved a lot.

This time Moying Entertainment started filming the movie "God of Gamblers", as the director, the fat man Wang Jing remembered that there was such a number one character in the circle, who looked extremely vicious and seemed to have the word "bad guy" written on his face, if he used it well , there will be a very contrasting comedy effect.

So Fatty offered him 5000 yuan for the film, and asked him to play a cameo role as the big villain in the casino.

Although Cheng Kui'an is a young actor, he is very concerned about acting. When he heard that this role "has a lot to do", he immediately made a decision. Let alone 5000 yuan, he will act even if it is 500 yuan!
Chen Xiaotang didn't expect Fatty to find such a living treasure, and he was very satisfied with Cheng Kui'an, even secretly planning how to recruit the future "Four Evil Men" under his command.

Closer to home, the fat man made a big head for the opening ceremony. In addition to the huge movie poster, he also prepared all the props for worshiping the gods. Those who didn't know thought it was a big show.

It is said that there are rules for the worship ceremony before starting the machine. Although the lion dance is not required, it can be regarded as pious.However, there are also lion dances that worship gods.

As I said before, Hong Kong and Hong Kong movies basically worship gods before filming, because dramas are usually dedicated to celebrities, whether they are myths or sometimes the plot will offend local gods or good brothers, etc., so they will do it before filming. Come to a worship ceremony.

On the one hand, it is to inform the gods of all parties that they are filming a movie and not a real event. On the other hand, it is to inform the gods in advance that the venue will not interfere with or offend the gods. .

Of course, there is another way to take the opportunity to gather all the actors when worshiping the gods, so that reporters can interview them for publicity and increase the audience rate of the play...

Then Chen Xiaotang was quite surprised when he saw the lion's head, so he asked the fat man, "Ah Jing, is there still a lion dance today?"

"Well, I didn't want to at first, but this is the first play of our phantom, so I added a lion dance to add a splash."

Chen Xiaotang nodded, noncommittal.

After all, the current reputation of Moying Entertainment has been established, and Chen Xiaotang doesn't mind if it can be "prosperous" in various ways.

Just as Tradition was thinking, the sound of firecrackers crackled, and Liu Xingbo, who is a master of kung fu, held the lion's head in his hand and started dancing towards Chen Xiaotang.The one who cooperated with Liu Xingbo was also a martial artist, so he started to move smoothly following Liu Xingbo's pace, and the two cooperated seamlessly.

"A Tang, you are the boss of Moying, and you are also the producer and lead actor of this movie. This time, you will personally put the eyes on the lion!" Fatty Wang Jing took the cinnabar pen and handed it to Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang was stunned: "Isn't it appropriate? How about you come?"

Fatty: "Just let me have a rest, I'm busy with turning on the machine, you should do it too!"

Before Chen Xiaotang answered, the lion's head opened, and Liu Xingbo, who was also a teacher and friend of Chen Xiaotang's, stretched his neck and said, "Please hurry up, this lion's head is so heavy!"

Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to pick up the cinnabar pen and tap the lion's eyes twice in a decent manner.After finishing the finishing touches, the master of ceremonies: "Courtesy!" The voice fell, and the gongs and drums blared!
The lion dance became even more exciting. Chen Xiaotang also watched the lion dance in his previous life. Especially during Chinese New Year and holidays, some lion dancers would come to the house and ask if you would like to come for a segment. It costs five yuan and lasts 10 minutes.It's just that after Chen Xiaotang graduated from middle school, he never saw a lion dance again.It seems that this traditional and cultural lion dance has fallen silent since then... After that, Chen Xiaotang's most understanding of lion dance came from the movie "The Lion King" by Li Lianjie in his previous life.Of course, this traditional folk skill has been somewhat artisticized in the film to make it look more exciting and moving, but it is undeniable that this lion dance is definitely a superb martial art.

Seeing the lion dance today, Chen Xiaotang also watched attentively.From waking up from deep sleep, scratching the head and tail, looking up and looking down, detecting the direction, to seeing the green, breaking the green, carnival, rolling and other postures, the lion dance is flexible and vivid, which surprises people. The staff applauded.

The busy and bustling worshiping god finally got a clue. When it came to the last part of worshiping the gods, Chen Xiaotang, who is the boss, investor and leading actor, once again took the lead.Led by him, a popular superstar, everyone lined up in a large group, each holding three big sandalwoods as thick as little fingers—this was basically the case at this time, and some people also took one later—to face There are incense tables with various sacrifices such as livestock and fruits to worship three times.

Regardless of piousness or not, this ceremony is very simple. If you simply calculate the time of worshiping God, it can be done in less than 1 minute. At this time, the really important part has just begun, and that is a small press conference in the opening ceremony.

This kind of scene can show the difference in treatment, or the issue of popularity. There are not many people who can sit on the chairs of the interview platform to be interviewed. Only Chen Xiaotang, Liu Dehua, Zhou Huimin and director Wang Jing, others such as Qin Pei, Wu Zhenyu, Wu Ya, etc. could only sit down below. Of course, few people asked them questions, which fully reflected the value of news.

Qin Pei and others who were sitting below couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When Chen Xiaotang was in TVB before, Qin Pei taught him to act, and Liu Dehua even played tricks for Qin Pei, but now, one is the famous TVB Five Tigers general, One is even a superstar, I have to say, sometimes this is fate, some people are born to be the leading role, some people are still playing supporting roles after playing for a lifetime, just kidding, if you want him to play the leading role, he really can’t do it live.

After a brief introduction by the master of ceremonies, it was time for reporters to ask questions. Unexpectedly, the reporter's first question was actually about Chen Xiaotang and Zhou Huimin, "Laughing, this time you continue to cooperate with Ms. Zhou Huimin, what about you?" Does it have a special meaning?"

Of course, Chen Xiaotang understood what he wanted to know, and shook his head with a smile, then turned to look at the fat man beside him, "You should ask Director Wang this question, why did he arrange it like this, is there something like you think? conspiracy?!"

Everyone laughed, and the fat man next to him couldn't help but admire Chen Xiaotang's intelligence and wit, and casually said, "You asked a good question. Everyone knows that Laughing and Ms. Well, if we match him with the number one beauty of our Magic Shadow Entertainment and see if they can create some sparks, then the box office of the movie will not worry."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

Only the reporter still didn't give up, and continued to ask Zhou Huimin, "Miss Zhou Huimin, you said before that Laughing is the man you admire the most, that he is very charming, and that he is the perfect man that women dream of. This cooperation, you can also be counted. It is to continue the frontier, if this is the case, do you consider going further with Laughing?"

The reporter adds words at any time, such as extraordinary charm, the perfect man that women dream of is all temporarily added by this guy. Zhou Huimin said that Chen Xiaotang is the man he admires more. The two of them starred in "Young and Dangerous" with great success, and the couple file was unanimously recognized by everyone. Now there is an opportunity to cooperate, and they have been together for a long time. As long as they are affectionate, it is not uncommon for people to suspect sparks.

Zhou Huimin has also learned to be smart now, or he has learned a lot of wisdom from Chen Xiaotang. He smiled slightly, and did not refute his epithet, but just said lightly, "Appreciate, worship, like or love, the meanings expressed by these words are It’s different, I really admire Laughing, his appearance is admirable, his character is also the same, and his talent is even more amazing, I think there must be many people who admire him as much as I do, but this It does not represent love between a man and a woman.”

"But doesn't the love between a man and a woman turn from mutual admiration to admiration, and finally into a fiery love?" That guy is still relentless, he always thinks that Zhou Huimin is the most tender among the above people, and goes up The fact that she did a movie promotion for the first time was enough to explain everything, and she was flustered when she thought about forcing her.

Zhou Huimin chuckled lightly, with a hint of contempt, "I don't deny this, but what we are holding today is a film conference, not discussing the definition of love or anything related! So, I have nothing to say!"

At this moment, everyone was stunned, because everyone realized that the new actress in the film industry who thought she was weak and easy to bully had become mature and sophisticated.

I have to say that the film industry is really a place to cultivate people. Let's see how long it took for that originally young radio DJ to become such a sharp-tongued hot girl.

So, the entertainment industry really cultivates people.

Facing Zhou Huimin's sharp answer, Chen Xiaotang also froze for a moment. Originally, he was still worried about her, but it seemed that he was just worrying blindly.

But Chen Xiaotang immediately understood that what he should really worry about was himself, because those reporters had already killed him!
