As we enter May, Wu Yusen¡¯s ¡°A Better Tomorrow¡± is released in Taiwan. [.guan m.]
"A Better Tomorrow" came out more than half a year earlier than "Parallel Space", and had already been finalized before Leslie Cheung was injured last year, but the investor changed from New Art City to Wang Zijun's DreamWorks Entertainment Ventures.
Around Christmas last year, "A Better Tomorrow" was released in Hong Kong. It was screened for more than a month, and the local box office revenue was more than 31 million.
Because Wang Zijun¡¯s gunfight blockbusters in recent years have opened the eyes of Hong Kong movie fans, as a result, "A Better Tomorrow", a gangster hero movie, has a box office less than 20,000 yuan less than "Parallel Space".
Even so, director Wu Yusen and starring actors Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung also received countless flowers and applause. Especially Ma Ge's outfit of windbreaker, toothpicks and sunglasses has attracted young people to imitate him.
After a few months, Wang Films released "A Better Tomorrow" in Taiwan, and it received rave reviews upon its debut.
"Brother Fa, there is a script here. Are you interested in making a cameo?" Wang Jing, who received Wang Zijun's changes to the script, began working on the movie separately with Liu Zhengwei.
If there is any difference in this version of "The God of Gamblers", it is that there is a scene in which the God of Gamblers enters and exits at a high speed, so the issue of the rights of "The God of Gamblers" is involved.
In fact, when Liu Zhengwei took the script and looked for other film companies, he could completely change those plots. It's just that he had other thoughts, because "God of Gamblers" has been filmed for many years, and those who followed the trend have failed to make gambling films, and almost no film companies will continue to make gambling films. Liu Zhengwei just wants to use the name of Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers, to attract more attention to "The God of Gamblers".
¡°Guest appearance?¡± Zhou Runfa has been making numerous film appointments since ¡°A Better Tomorrow¡± became a hit. How can I have time to play a cameo with Wang Jing? But when he saw the name on the script, he immediately changed his tone and asked, "Did Mr. Jun write this script?"
Wang Jing said with a smile: "It was created by Liu Zhengwei and modified by Mr. Wang himself, and Mr. Wang is also the main investor of the film."
"Well, let us know before the time comes." Zhou Runfa nodded and said, no one has to give face to anyone. But Mr. Jun¡¯s face cannot be denied.

Lan Kwai Fong.
Xiang Huaqiang leaned on the chair with his legs crossed. Manna, whose real name was Li Xue, was sitting next to him peeling an apple. The relationship between the two developed rapidly. I plan to register my marriage next year. As for the upright Mrs. Xiang, I'm afraid she will never become Mrs. Xiang.
Xiang Huaqiang is very satisfied with Li Xue as his girlfriend. She is both beautiful and capable, and her club can make a lot of money every day, and she can also have good relations with celebrities from all walks of life. Not only that, Li Xue's biggest advantage in Xiang Huaqiang's eyes is that she turns a blind eye to Xiang Huaqiang's cheating, and is really considerate.
"I told the boss that Mr. Wang has agreed to invest. What he means is that if Yongsheng is willing to pay, it will be half for each person. If Yongsheng is not prepared to invest, then he will invest alone." Liu Zhengwei explained that he faced this gangster The boss is still a little scared. Although Xiang Huaqiang has not yet taken the position of head of the Xin Ngee Ann family, his Yongsheng Film Company's money laundering ability is extremely powerful, which makes the elders of Xin Ngee Ann very satisfied and speaks extremely loudly.
"Oh. If Ajun wants to invest, then I also want to join him. How can I miss the opportunity to make money." Xiang Huaqiang laughed.
Liu Zhengwei breathed a sigh of relief. With Xiang Huaqiang¡¯s support, things would be much easier to handle. It's not just this drama, if this cooperation is happy and helps Xiang Huaqiang make money. After that, there will be opportunities to continue cooperation, which is a big opportunity for him personally.
Liu Zhengwei was actually doing very well a few years ago. When the new wave of Hong Kong movies just started, his name was as famous as Tsui Hark, and he became the general manager of Century Pictures in two years. It's just that after the transformation period of Hong Kong movies, Tsui Hark has matured and is doing well in business, but Liu Zhengwei and his good brother Wang Jiawei are still running in circles. Liu Zhengwei is better off, but the movies produced by Wang Jiawei are often thrown sugarcane at midnight screenings because they are incomprehensible.
Last year, Century Pictures collapsed, and Liu Zhengwei, the general manager of the film company, had to go to Jiahe's satellite company Jiafeng Pictures to work full-time as a hard-working screenwriter.
Now that I finally wrote a script, it was actually chosen by Wang Zijun. Liu Zhengwei believed that this was a sign that his fortune would turn around.
"Who will play the heroine Qimeng?" Xiang Huaqiang pointed to the script and said. He saw in the script that the actors for San Shu and Xing Zai had been appointed by Wang Zijun, so he couldn't help but step in to appoint the actors himself.
"What do you think, Mr. Xiang?" Liu Zhengwei asked. Although he had a favorite candidate in mind, he had no idea.Say it directly.
Xiang Huaqiang thought for a while and said, "How about Li Zhi? She is sexy and talented. I think she is very suitable for this role."
Liu Zhengwei was surprised and happy. What was surprising was that Lizhi was now an international star, famous in Europe and the United States, and the salary was too high. But what he was happy about was that if he could invite Lizhi, he would have more appeal as a director. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhengwei said: "Mr. Xiang, the budget is limited. Is it too expensive to hire a Limey to star? Besides, I heard that a Limey is filming in France, so I'm afraid it's not easy to hire a Limey."
"Don't worry about this." Xiang Huaqiang made his decision with a wave of his hand.

Jiayi TV Station.
Zhou Xingxing walked out of the studio of the children's program, his head swollen due to lack of sleep. In addition to being a host, he also often goes on set to play a small role, but so far, the roles he has played will not appear in more than three episodes.
"Zhou Xingxing, someone is looking for you!" the director of the children's program shouted.
"Here we come!" Classmate Zhou Xingxing rubbed his face and ran out. He was used to being shouted at while running errands.
But this time it seemed different. When he passed by the director, the director patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xingzi, your good luck has come!"
"What good luck?" Zhou Xingxing asked with a smile.
The director said: "Wang's Pictures is looking for you to make a movie, the male lead."
"Lin Sheng, you are really good at joking." Zhou Xingxing left with a smile. He was already crazy about being the protagonist. Colleagues often joke about this.
When Zhou Xingxing walked outside the studio, he saw a short fat man standing there. He knew that person, Wang Jing, the son of TVB director and ace king Tianlin. His good friend Liang Chaowei had told him many things about Fatty Wang.
The two of them had never known each other before, and Wang Jing was a director. Could it be that he really came here to make a movie with him? Zhou Xingxing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and blood surged all over his body.
"Hello. Mr. Zhou, why don't you go down and have a drink?" Wang Jing shook hands with Zhou Xingxing, but he was still wondering why Wang Zijun chose this completely unknown guy.
"Okay." Zhou Xingxing agreed quickly. I was afraid that Wang Jing would regret it halfway.
When he came to the coffee shop, Wang Jing handed over the script directly and asked: "Mr. Zhou, are you interested in making a movie?"
"Of course. It doesn't matter if you play a small role." Zhou Xingxing smiled and looked down to see the names of the screenwriters on the script - Wang Zijun and Liu Zhengwei.
Suddenly Zhou Xingxing¡¯s throat felt a little dry. Wang Jing came to discuss the matter in person, explaining that his role would be very important, and the screenwriter was actually Wang Zijun. This made Zhou Xingxing feel like he was dreaming. In fact, he had actually had such a dream, but when he woke up, everything was back to the way it was before.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the blue, Zhou Xingxing was in a state of extreme excitement the whole day after that. No matter where he went, he always had a silly smile on his face and completely lost his ability to take care of himself.
"As excited as Zhou Xingxing is Wu Mengda. This man still only has one wife. The other three little wives have not yet appeared, but he can hardly afford to support this one wife. for several years. He takes on an average of five movies and five TV series every year, and all of them are small supporting roles. With that little income, he still has to pay off his gambling debts. It's not bad if he doesn't starve to death.
"The Gambler" is destined to be the source of help for many desperate people.

Wang¡¯s Cinema.
In a large studio, a makeup artist is applying makeup to Cheng Xiaodong.
Yes. Not only did Wang Zijun, the director, play the male lead, but Cheng Xiaodong, the deputy director and action director, couldn't bear the loneliness and played the role of the Black Mountain Old Demon himself in the final battle with Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen.
The main reason why Cheng Xiaodong was chosen to play the role was that although the role of Black Mountain Old Demon was the final villain, he never showed his face at all, and it would be the same no matter who he cast. Cheng Xiaodong is very skilled and familiar with the plot and characters, so he doesn't have to worry about the two protagonists.
The final battle requires a lot of special effects, but they are not very complicated. For example, for things like invisibility and passing through the yin and yang world, you can just use the traditional masking method. That was a technology decades ago.
It sounds simple, but some of the fighting details in it took a lot of effort. This fight scene took a full week to be filmed before it was finished.
In the room, Ning Caichen was holding Nie Xiaoqian's urn and the painting in his hand. The sun was shining brightly outside.
"Click!" As Cheng Xiaodong's voice fell, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was finally completed, and all that was left were just some reshoots.
The actors can finally take some time off, but Wang Zijun¡¯s busy schedule is not over yet. Because of his persistence, this "A Chinese Story"??¡·The special effects picture is more exciting than that of parallel space, which means more investment and more complicated post-processing.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Cheng Xiaodong and produced by Tsui Hark, cost only HK$5.6 million. As for Wang Zijun's film, in order to pursue the effect, the cost has been raised to 35 million, more than six times more, which is naturally different.
After finishing everything and returning home, my father also sent news back from the mainland, saying that the ancestral hall and genealogy there had been completed, and Wang Zijun was asked to go there as soon as possible.
Wang Zijun didn¡¯t really want to go. He had a lot of things to do here. However, a piece of news from the Executive Yuan surprised him. The Taiwan authorities finally opened up cross-strait trade.
The term "opening up cross-strait trade" is actually inaccurate. It should be said that it is a unilateral opening that only allows Taiwan to invest and sell goods in the mainland, but does not allow mainland businessmen to invest in Taiwan.
But no one cares about this. Nowadays, mainland businessmen can¡¯t even get bank loans, and they don¡¯t have the funds to invest in the mainland. Who has spare money to invest in Taiwan?
Wang Zijun is happy that this means that Wang¡¯s movies can be sold in mainland China.

Today, I showed four gay friends a new manuscript that I had written worth RMB 100,000. The novel was reborn in Hong Kong in the 1950s. After reading the whole story, several of them said they didn¡¯t feel immersed in it and that they would definitely pounce on it.
