    Director Wang, you have such an in-depth analysis of the movie "God of Gamblers", which also allows us to see the shooting philosophy of a real great director.  I can see the leopard through the tube, and I can also see your film theory on the film.  So, may I understand and ask, how do you view the films you make and how do you deal with these concepts?  Can you talk about your original intention for the film?  " After the applause, a middle-aged reporter asked Wang Dong a friendly question. This question was more in-depth and not as difficult as before. Instead, he really asked about the movie. Such a question  Although it is not professional, it is very profound. Haha, movies are a portrayal of life. I feel that every time I make a movie, I am creating a world and a new life. As for movies, it is very interesting.  Concept, I think the movie is not an educational film. It is not for me to tell the audience what needs to be learned in the movie, but for the movie itself to reveal it. So when it comes to dealing with concepts, I think it is better to think about it instead of getting entangled in it.  How to shoot a movie well. You must know that I am just a director, not a university professor. As for your original intention of making a movie, I don¡¯t know whether you are asking about my original intention of starting a movie or this time "God of Gamblers".  The original intention of the movie. But I can buy one and get one free. I started making movies because I love movies. If there is any other reason, I think I did it at that time.  I only had a few hundred dollars on me, but having to survive was the best reason. I came out of prison with only a few hundred dollars on me. If I didn¡¯t go to work, I think I might end up living on the streets the next day.  . I took the wrong path. When I corrected my mistakes, I knew that I had to work much harder than others. When I started, I was just a low-level martial artist and a low-level drama worker.  Sanmao's crew begged for food. I still remember the movie called "Ghost Fighting Ghost", the scene where Sanmao's wife Hongxing cheated Of course, I'm talking about the movie! Wang Dong smiled and winked!  Blinking his eyes, he made fun of Sammo Hung. ¡°Hahaha¡± There was a burst of laughter, and Wang Dong¡¯s humor also made him laugh.  I'm afraid that in today's Hong Kong film industry, only Wang Dong is the one who dares to make fun of Sammo Hung like this, right?  In other words, only Wang Dong can make fun of Sammo Hung on this occasion.  I started as a handyman. At that time, I had to work nearly twenty hours a day, and I had to run around on the set every day.  And as you all know later, I was very lucky to write "Gui Ma Zhi Duo Xing", and then I met noble people along the way, and then I came through step by step.  I think if there is a reason, these trainings are the best reasons.  " Wang Dong's answer was very simple, but very real. When Wang Dong talked about his own journey, many media also sighed. Who would have thought that the prisoner who had just been released from prison at that time started working as a small worker and would have such great achievements?  Such an amazing day? This made them sigh at the popular director Wang Dong. If the idea of ??talking about this movie came from a trip to Macau, plus some other reasons, it was just a sudden desire.  Writing such a script is not as grand as you think Wang Dong said with a smile. There was another burst of applause from the audience. Many people took Wang Dong's words seriously.  Basically, everyone responded positively. They were also very curious about Wang Dong. Wang Dong was not a superstar like Zhou Runfa. Although he often appeared on the front pages of the media, the public and the media did not know much about Wang Dong.  It¡¯s limited to movies. Wang Dong is usually very receptive to interviews with reporters, which makes them unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to get up close to Wang Dong. Mr. Wang Dong, now your movies are booming and you can predict them.  What is your final goal? What height do you think this movie will reach? The reporter from Oriental Daily asked Wang Dong. Hearing this question, Wang Dong frowned and then raised his lips.  The ruffian smiled and said: "How high will the movie "God of Gamblers" reach? I think this question should not be asked to me, but to the fans. If I have to set a goal, I think 60 million box office is better.  It's more reasonable It's about the same conservative estimate" Nani?  Is 60 million reasonable?  a little?  Still a conservative estimate?  Wang Dong¡¯s words shocked the media reporters in the audience, and they suddenly had the urge to strangle Wang Dong to death.  A figure like 60 million box office is absolutely an astronomical miracle.  This made many reporters twitch at the corners of their mouths.  Many people have the idea that this guy is too arrogant, especially when they see Wang Dong¡¯s naughty smile, which makes many reporters tired.  ?Any trace of admiration was gone.  This guy really dares to say it, especially the sentence that 60 million is more reasonable and the last sentence that is a conservative estimate.  Damn it, you conservatively estimated the box office of HKD 60 million. If you were not conservative, would you want HKD 70, 80 or even 100 million?  This caused many reporters to express their disbelief, and secretly scolded Wang Dong for being arrogant. Are you sure the box office is 60 million?  The reporter from Oriental Daily asked repeatedly.  Of course, I am full of ambitions for "God of Gamblers" and I believe that "God of Gamblers" will create history.  Wang Dong ignored the strange expressions on the reporters in front of him and made a high-profile announcement with confidence.  Do you think your 60 million mark is a bit too exaggerated?  Although "God of Gamblers" is excellent, many people only think that it will be good if he can reach 40 million.  Maybe you were lucky enough to break the record, but 60 million is definitely an unprecedented level. Such a number even exceeds the box office of many movies several times It is even 20 million higher than your previous box office record" Can it be said that four  Has anyone had a box office of 10 million or 42 million before? If I remember correctly, it seems that I have been setting new records, right? Wang Dong couldn't help but curled his lips.  There is no record before. The previous record was created by me, right? Wang Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he thought about it. Regarding the box office, Wang Dong is naturally more authoritative than the theater chain.  Also expanded, it is said that although it is the off-season, one advantage is that there is no competition. Moreover, Wang Dong believes that the box office of 60 million is definitely suitable for the digestion capacity of Hong Kong people. When the reporters saw Wang Dong¡¯s confident eyes, they all felt helpless.  After all, the previous box office record was like Wang Dong alone. Although 60 million is huge, who knows if this guy can really accomplish it? But not everyone has this idea.  There are still many reporters who can't stand Wang Dong. His previous box office record was 42 million, which is equivalent to an increase of 20 million. This makes people feel that there is no way.  Although there are more theaters, there are still a lot of fans to digest it, so it is still difficult to achieve such a box office. After all, not everyone in Hong Kong likes to watch movies, and not everyone is willing to watch movies, and not everyone likes them.  Watch Wang Dong's movie. Although I admit that "God of Gamblers" is very good, I still feel that the box office of 60 million is empty talk.  , It¡¯s more about the market. This is not Hollywood. Although we are Hollywood in the East, spending power and movie-viewing base determine box office results.¡± The reporter wearing the Ming Pao badge is very professional.  He stood up and refuted Wang Dong's remarks.  His words were also clear and logical.  This also made many reporters nod secretly.  "God of Gamblers" is a great movie, and I agree that it will do well at the box office.  But 60 million I think it's still a bit exaggerated.  Maybe 50 million is the limit for this movie.  Per capita consumption in the Hong Kong market is not high.  Especially with the development of TV dramas, I feel that there are fewer and fewer audiences in movie theaters.  So I don¡¯t think this movie can reach a level of 60 million.  Although I don't deny that this movie is wonderful.  But it is precisely because of this that I dare to make such a decision.  ¡± The reporters in the audience kept refuting Wang Dong¡¯s remarks. In their opinion, according to their imagination, the box office of 60 million is really shocking. Although Wang Dong¡¯s appearance is to break the shocking and constantly create  It¡¯s a miracle, or it¡¯s a bit shocking in itself, but the box office of 60 million is still unbelievable. Wang Dong doesn¡¯t care about the reporters¡¯ little thoughts. In fact, this result was achieved by Wang Dong through repeated calculations and careful logical reasoning.  Figures. Wang Dong believes that the box office will never be less than 60 million. According to Wang Dong¡¯s opinion, this number is actually a conservative estimate. In Wang Dong¡¯s opinion, it will be at least a few hundred more.  That's normal. Now that the ticket price has increased to 18 yuan, it means that 3.3 million people will go to the cinema to watch this movie. This is definitely an unimaginable number for them.  The previous box office was more than 40 million, and many reporters were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Not to mention that Wang Dong directly increased it to 60 million, which is equivalent to more than one million people entering the venue to watch.  . You must know that the permanent resident population of Hong Kong is only over 4.8 million at this time. A box office of 60 million by Wang Dong is equivalent to three-fifths of the people going to the cinema to watch the movie.Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of people without Hong Kong registered permanent residence.  The total floating population in Hong Kong should reach more than five million.  Three out of five people go to the cinema to watch a movie, which is absolutely a crazy idea.  Haha, the 60 million movie box office is my guarantee.  How about we make a bet.  If it really reaches 60 million, how about you help me run a front-page headline advertisement for my next movie for free for a week?  Wang Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at the reporters and paparazzi in front of him with a half-smile.  Many reporters and paparazzi looked at each other, and then agreed in unison.  But what if you lose?  a reporter asked quickly.     I lost?  It¡¯s really laborious, I really haven¡¯t thought about this problem.  But if I lose, I think I will donate 10 million. After all, I will be responsible for feeding you reporters for a week What do you think?  Wang Dong smiled nonchalantly.  Wang Dong made a bet with dozens of reporters in the audience. Before leaving, Wang Dong asked the on-site press officer to record the names and newspapers of each reporter.  to prevent them from defaulting on their debts.  "Many reporters glanced at Wang Dong's behavior and didn't take it seriously.
