Movie tycoon

Chapter 457
The fight between Yongsheng Company and Moying Entertainment became the headline news of the entire entertainment industry.

"Yongsheng vs. Phantom, the good show is just around the corner!"

"Yongsheng started filming "Wesley" and fought against the ghost "God of Gamblers"!"

"The war of new companies in the film industry is about to break out, who will have the last laugh!"

……

"Chen Xiaotang was slapped in the face by Brother Fa, and the original 'God of Gamblers' turned into 'Wesley'!"

"It's weird! It's weird! It's really weird! A good friend turned into an enemy!"

"It's ridiculous that Chen Xiaotang met someone unkind, Brother Fa turned into an opponent, the God of Gamblers is about to fight against Wesley!"

……

Regardless of the public opinion, on May 1984, 5, the first movie "God of Gamblers" officially started filming today.

As the leading actor, Chen Xiaotang can be said to hold several jobs and is extremely busy. As the boss of Moying Entertainment, he has to plan the company's development direction. As a famous actor, he must go all out to do his job as an actor. A popular singer in the music industry, his second album is still in post-production and is expected to be completed in mid-June. In addition, the script of the contract he signed with TVB is also in the pipeline. In the second half of this year, he will return to the small screen and star in TVB's main show.It can be said that everyone is looking forward to it.

Of course, as one of the most popular superstars in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, Chen Xiaotang sacrificed a lot to film his company's "God of Gamblers". Not only did he turn down many commercials, catwalk shows, commercial performances, but also many movie appointments.He and Fatty Wang Jing have a consensus, they are not afraid of hard work now, the main reason is that it has not yet reached that time, by this time next year, Moying Entertainment will really be able to stand firm, and then everyone will be much more relaxed.

Chen Xiaotang is confident, and everyone in Moying Entertainment also believes in him, and today is the beginning of Moying Entertainment's first step. Chen Xiaotang wants to prove to everyone through the play "God of Gamblers" that he is that light Great guy, he is unique, his value cannot be measured.

For the Las Vegas casino scene, the first scene was shot in a private club in Hong Kong.

First, arrange it like a Las Vegas casino, and then let some ghost actors play tricks to act as casino gamblers.It makes the whole scene look like it was filmed abroad.

This scene is actually just one scene, that is, the God of Gamblers Gao Jin is sitting at the gambling table in the casino and placing bets, surrounded by a lot of ghosts watching him, he is chewing chocolate while playing with the emerald ring on his finger.

After winning the bet, Yang Zhang stood up, and amidst applause and applause, a ghost asked the people around him, "Who is he?"

The casino manager said solemnly: "God of Gamblers!"

At this moment, Gao Jin turned his head and looked back, revealing his arrogance.

It can be said that these very simple shots are also the opening titles of this drama, but it is not easy to act well. It is the back view of a king, sitting posture, demeanor and so on are very important. Sharpness and wisdom are also meaningful.

However, Chen Xiaotang had acted this during the audition, just waited for the make-up to be done, the first scene of the first scene, the first scene of the scene, the first sound of the first scene, and the director Wang Jing said ACTION, he got it done in the first time, Fatty Wang Jing couldn't help but praise, "Ah Tang, that's a good shot, especially when you look back and smile, your domineering arrogance is so overwhelming!"

The second scene is the real beginning of the movie. It is a scene where the God of Gamblers Gao Jin fights against the gambling masters in Tokyo.

Similar to the previous scene, in order to reduce expenses, there is no need to go to Japan to shoot these two shots, so I edited some travel shots in Tokyo, Japan, and then shot Gao Jin in a Japanese tea house in Hong Kong Preparations before the fight.

Japanese tea room, clogs, tatami, ukiyo-e.

Facing the wife played by Zhou Huimin to record the upcoming decisive battle, Gao Jin played by Chen Xiaotang slowly sips famous Japanese tea, with a half-smile look on his face, and his wife who looks at the recording recording his itinerary with love in his eyes.

Zhou Huimin, who was wearing a white striped dress, was still beautiful, fresh and beautiful, and even a little thrilling. Looking at Chen Xiaotang's eyes, she showed just the right amount of shyness and happiness.

When the wife played by Zhou Huimin finished the recording, the door of the room was opened, and Wu Zhenyu, who played the role of the big villain, said to him respectfully: "Brother Jin, the outside is ready."

Then the camera turned and gave Gao Jin a close-up.I saw him gently put down the teacup, then raised his chin slightly, his expression on his face was like a tiger about to come out of the cage, especially when the camera took a close-up of his eyes, you would find his pair of eyes full of love The eyes instantly became sharp and piercing!
It can be said that in this scene, Chen Xiaotang did not have a single line, the facial expressions changed very richly, and the body language also changed accordingly. It was really a very delicate and wonderful beginning, and Chen Xiaotang got it done in the second pass after entering the state Yes, Fatty praised it fiercely, this scene is quite difficult.

After the filming here, the scene where the God of Gamblers appears and fights with the Japanese King of Gamblers begins.At this time, the music sounded, but it was the very powerful background music from the previous life.

This background music is taken from the front part of the British song "Blood in the Sky", but now it was created by Chen Xiaotang in advance, which can be regarded as the sadness of the British side.

At this moment, in the camera, with background music playing, the God of Gamblers Gao Jin played by Chen Xiaotang appeared surrounded by the crowd.

It has to be said that Chen Xiaotang seems to be born with the aura of a king who is like the stars holding the moon. This appearance shocked the audience, especially with the exciting music, his every move and gesture showed a sense of King style.

The only problem was that Chen Xiaotang performed this kind of kingly air too much, which made those outsiders around him feel dumbfounded.Seeing this scene, the fat man Wang Jing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "A Tang, please restrain your arrogance, don't scare the little brother next to you!"

Having said that, the scene of the battle between Gao Jin and the Japanese gambling king was made more realistic.Fatty Wang Jing deliberately hired a "technical consultant" from a Macau casino with a high salary. To put it bluntly, he taught Chen Xiaotang how to learn "gambling skills".Don't underestimate the work of filming. Actors have to learn a lot anytime and anywhere.For example, this time, Chen Xiaotang followed the technical consultant of the Macau casino to learn skills such as rolling dice, cutting mahjong, and turning cards.

If you don't learn, you don't know. Once you learn, you will be shocked.

It turns out that what the old man said is true, ten bets and nine lies.

Especially things like rolling dice are very skillful.

When the casino consultant rolled out any points he wanted again and again, Chen Xiaotang was already overwhelmed with admiration.

"Actually, you can do it too." The consultant said, "As long as you can control the strength of your wrist well and cooperate with your keen hearing, then you can roll out any points you want."

Chen Xiaotang couldn't believe it.

According to the technical consultant, he tried to control the strength of his wrist while concentrating on his ears... Unfortunately, he only guessed right two or three times out of ten times, and most of them were luck.

Chen Xiaotang blushed slightly, he didn't expect that he would be so "stupid", but the technical consultant smiled and said: "It's okay, for a novice like you, if you want to control the dice as you like, it will take two or three years. impossible!"

Only then did Chen Xiaotang feel relieved, and then asked: "Then how long have you been studying?"

The technical consultant said with some pride: "I have liked to study gambling skills since I was a child. It can be said that my talent is already very good. I have worked hard for more than a year in order to learn how to control the dice. As for the so-called gambling geniuses, it is said As far as I know, the least one has practiced for no less than three months!"

"Three months?" Chen Xiaotang was surprised, "I didn't expect this kind of technique to be so troublesome."

"Hehe, so it's like a mountain is separated from each other. If you really master it all at once, then those of us who come out to play will have nothing to eat!"

Chen Xiaotang nodded and continued to practice.The technical consultant went to drink tea next to him.

While practicing, Chen Xiaotang wondered, isn't it just to control the dice in the receiver, why is it so difficult?Anyway, practicing hard like this is a bit boring, as to whether it can be practiced or not is not very important to Chen Xiaotang, he is just playing the "God of Gamblers", not to be a real God of Gamblers, there is no need to be so serious, so Chen Xiaotang yawned , while shaking the receiver randomly, how handsome, how come.Shaking and shaking, Chen Xiaotang tried to penetrate the inner strength of Xingyiquan he had practiced, to see what would happen.

Then, a miracle happened!

At this moment, it seemed that he could see everything in the tube with his own eyes, and the dice jumped regularly under his control.

No way, so evil? !

Chen Xiaotang was surprised.

Then, according to his own will, he bound the dice with his inner strength, made a stack of arhats, opened the tube, and saw that a miracle appeared!
It's really stacked Arhats! ! !
At that moment, Chen Xiaotang was shocked by his unique skill.

It turns out that the inner strength I practiced can still be used on this!
No wonder those legendary gambling masters are kung fu masters!
In order to prove his guess, Chen Xiaotang tried to control the dice again, "Three fours!" "Three threes!" "Five ones!" "Come on, somersault!" "Rumba!"...

The dice rolled and jumped, basically as if controlled by his fingers, what do you want, what do you have!
Just when Chen Xiaotang was intoxicated with his extraordinary gambling skills, he saw that technical consultant who said just now that it would take two or three years to master this skill, his eyes widened. He had to look at Chen Xiaotang greatly, the teacup in his hand had already been shattered in surprise.

"You, you, how did you do it?"

Chen Xiaotang woke up from the intoxication, looked at someone whose mouth was open like a toad, and said in his heart, secret!It's a secret!Absolutely keep it a secret!If it is known that he can do this, I am afraid that there will never be peace.

So Chen Xiaotang said very innocently: "Just now I just played around, maybe it was luck!"

"Luck?" The technical advisor looked at Chen Xiaotang suspiciously.

Chen Xiaotang scratched his head, his appearance did not have the "unfathomable" demeanor that a gambling master should have.

Looking at the dice on the table, and then at Chen Xiaotang, the technical consultant also doubted his own judgment.

Maybe I guessed wrong, how can a layman like him master real gambling skills?The technical consultant rubbed his head and muttered.

……

In this way, under the careful "cultivation" of this technical consultant, Chen Xiaotang filmed the gambling god Gao Jin and the Japanese gambling king brilliantly.Especially the way he rolls the dice, in the words of fat man Wang Jing, is called "too handsome!"

The next filming went even more smoothly. The God of Gamblers was attacked in the subway, and the retired soldier Long Wu played by Crow had a fight with the kidnappers.According to Chen Xiaotang's original promise, he intends to promote the crow, this time the role of "Dragon Five" is tailor-made for him, showing masculine charm while being ruthless.The crow lived up to expectations, he couldn't help but devote himself to the filming, and raised many questions in terms of action design, so the shots he shot were much more exciting than the "God of Gamblers" in his previous life, and the role of the crow invisibly also increased. It is much bigger, and it will become a classic on the screen in the future, which is unexpected.

After the subway war, the God of Gamblers fell on the beach and became amnesiac. When he met the knife boy played by Andy Lau, he made a lot of jokes.The silly gambler and Dao Zai fooled Dasha into Dakoujiu played by Kui'an.Because Dao Zai offended the evil loan shark "Wu Mengda", he was chased and killed by people all over the street.In order to save the knife boy, the silly gambler gambles with Wu Mengda while eating chocolate. In this episode, the scene where Gao Jin plays with a jackknife can be said to be the pinnacle.In particular, Chen Xiaotang has well controlled the changes in the eyes of the character Gao Jin. Before he ate the chocolate, his eyes were stupid and dull. After eating the chocolate, he immediately transformed, his eyes were extremely sharp. marvel...

According to the development of the plot, Wu Zhenyu, who played the role of the big villain, as Gao Jin’s cousin, raped Gao Jin’s wife like a beast in order to snatch Gao Jin’s property, and then teamed up with the Singapore gambling king to hunt down the gambling god Gao Jin. Long Wu, played by Wu Ya, comes to the rescue. At a critical moment, the God of Gamblers Gao Jin, in order to save Long Wu, is hit on the head and regains consciousness...

It's a long story, but Fatty Wang Jing is worthy of being a famous fast shooter in the entire Hong Kong film industry. In just seven days, he has already filmed the final stage of this movie, which is the scene of the gambling battle.

But this scene really needs to borrow a gambling boat for filming, but where can I find a decent gambling boat?Chen Xiaotang and Fatty Wang Jing were depressed.

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang received a call, but it was from Hong Kong watch tycoon Pan Disheng. It turned out that he had already drawn up a contract to invite Chen Xiaotang to be the spokesperson of his watch brand. Now he formally invited Chen Xiaotang to a gambling boat run by him. sign a contract.

Is this called "If you want to sleep, someone will send you a pillow"?This is!
After a brief negotiation with Pan Disheng, the other party said proudly, a big star like you filming on my gambling boat can be regarded as doing free publicity for me, I am too happy, how can I refuse .

But no matter what, Chen Xiaotang also knew that he still owed someone a favor after all,
