A sneak peek

On the night when Zheng Yan arrived in Hong Kong City, Aso Mixue brought Yuan Kui and Zhou Xingchi, who had just finished filming, to Li Yanran's villa.

"Director Yuan, Brother Xing, long time no see." Zheng Yan greeted the three of them.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng."

"Zheng Yan, how is your body recovering?"

Director Yuan Kui's words were more official, after all, Zheng Yan met before leaving Hong Kong City. Zhou Xingchi and Zheng Yan had a relatively long exchange, so their words were more casual.

"My body has recovered. I guess you are hungry after filming a day. Let's have something to eat first. Meixue, thank you for your hard work today, so you can come together." Zheng Yan said and brought a few people to the restaurant.

"Sister Meixue, you're back, I'm going to starve to death."

Although the servants in the villa had already prepared dinner, Zheng Yan insisted on waiting for Aso Mixue to come back, so Li Yanran endured it and didn't eat it.

Yuan Kui and Zhou Xingchi were also a little moved when they heard Li Yanran's words. As a company boss, Zheng Yan was not an employee of Zheng Yan's company, but at least he was working for Zheng Yan's company during the shooting. Zheng Yan's behavior undoubtedly gave them enough respect.

After Zhou Xingchi came in, Zheng Yan felt that his condition was not very correct. Later, through observation, he found that he should be thinking about the role of the movie. Although he was having a meal, his mind was not at all. It was not until after the meal that he started to show the sample films that Zhou Xingchi's energy was transferred to the screen.

Zheng Yan looked at the screen and the overall plot was still familiar. However, due to his own appearance, some details were made in some minor changes, but it did not affect the viewing effect.

Although "The God of Gambling" and "The God of Gambling" are both films with gambling as the theme, they have completely different flavors. One is a high-ranking myth that falls into the mortal world and then rises again; the other is a real little figure who reaches the top little by little.

Zuo Songxing, played by Zhou Xingchi, fully demonstrates a lovely and kind little character. Wu Mengda, played by San Shu, also portrays a low-level character who is greedy for money and lust, but has never lost his conscience to the extreme. Qi Meng played by Zhang Min, whether it is the charming attitude when seducing Zuo Songxing or the heroic spirit in the action scenes, it also makes people feel refreshed.

Perhaps the nonsensical performance style belongs to Zhou Xingchi. Although this is Zhou Xingchi's first attempt in a movie, he still has a good grasp. Although it cannot be compared with Stephen Chow in his mature period, it is enough now. He still has many subsequent scripts, and Zhou Xingchi still has a lot of room for growth.

Although it was only a sample film and has not been produced in the post-production, Zheng Yan is already sure that this movie will definitely not be worse than the "God of Gambling" I saw in my previous life. Because Li Yanran, who was standing aside, smiled several times and fell backwards, it can be imagined that the effect of the film after the post-processing will only be better.

"Brother Xing, Director Yuan, what do you think of this movie yourself?"

After watching the video, although Zheng Yan was quite satisfied, he still wanted to hear the opinions of Zhou Xingchi and Yuan Kui, after all, the other party is a professional.

"In terms of this script, the movie should express everything the script wants to express, and the whole movie has a lot of jokes. However, the nonsensical performance style you proposed has never appeared before. I can't be sure what kind of feedback the market will give." Zhou Xingchi said to Zheng Yan.

Zhou Xingchi really likes this video, and after trying the nonsensical performance style proposed by Zheng Yan, he also felt that it suits him very well after trying it in the play. He was a little worried that the public would not accept it.

"I think Xingzai's concerns are a bit redundant. We are filming commercial films and comedy films. What is important is the jokes in the story, not the way the jokes are presented. I think we can definitely succeed." Yuan Kui said confidently.

"Brother Xing, Director Yuan, can you speed up the progress and strive to complete it before the Spring Festival? I want the film to be released during the Spring Festival."

Seeing that neither of them raised any questions he had expected, Zheng Yan went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts.

Yuan Kui and Zhou Xingchi looked at Zheng Yan with a confused look when they heard Zheng Yan's words. Finally, Zhou Xingchi, who was more familiar with Zheng Yan, spoke: "Ahem... Zheng Yan, I understand your mood to let your company's movies be released as soon as possible. There is no problem with completing them before the Spring Festival, but we can't get the theater chain of the cinema at all."

Zheng Yan thought they would say something, but when he heard it, it was still a question of theaters. Zheng Yan smiled and said, "I have discussed this with Meixue. Which film company the theaters of theaters are distributed to? It is nothing more than the theaters that the theaters are estimated in advance and distributed according to the estimated box office. If I can sign a contract with the theaters first and give them a relatively high guaranteed share? That is to say, as long as we arrange theaters, even if there is not a movie watcher, I will give theaters a share according to a certain box office base. Do you think there will be theaters that reject us? Of course, we will not require too high filming rates. Moreover, the proportion of this sharing will not be too high, but compared with other companies, at least it is guaranteed, right?"

Yuan Kui and Zhou Xingchi were a little shocked when they heard Zheng Yan's words. They never expected that Zheng Yan would have such a bold idea. They had already invested millions, but now they have spent tens of millions to gamble in order to win a broadcast time. If there is a big movie starring, they can also make a comeback based on the popularity of the starring actors. Zhou Xingchi just transformed from a TV series, which seems very unwise to them.

"Zheng Yan, this risk is too high. We don't need to compete for theaters for this holiday. After the holiday, the sharing of theaters will be lower. For us, this is the most beneficial."

Although Zhou Xingchi also knew that it would be more beneficial to him if it was played during the Spring Festival, considering the risks Zheng Yan took, he still couldn't help but persuade him. After all, Zheng Yan's invitation to play the male lead this time has helped him a lot.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, we really don't need to compete with these old film companies for theaters. On the one hand, the price you pay is too high; on the other hand, in the prime time, when fighting with too many old companies, you may not be able to achieve good results in ordinary periods," Yuan Kui also advised.

"Brother Xing, Director Yuan, please hurry up and shoot the video. Leave the other questions to me. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing clothes. I just want to compete with these old companies." In the end, Zheng Yan made a final decision.

However, due to Zheng Yan's decision, Zhou Xingchi and Yuan Kui were more attentive to the filming and post-production of the movie, and the movie actually achieved better results. Of course, this is all a story.
