Compared with Kang Jianfei's previous movies, the premiere of "The Gambling Saint" seems a bit shabby. Not only are there fewer first-line stars, but there are also fewer media reporters present.

Rightist newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily, Red and Green Daily, Hong Kong Times, Chaoran Daily, and True Daily all regard Kang Jianfei as an enemy. The rightist newspapers with the "Republic of China" printed on the eyebrows have been closed. In addition to the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" that have been closed, Overseas Chinese Daily sent reporters to attend the premiere of "Gambling Saint".

Although the Overseas Chinese Daily is classified as a rightist newspaper, the newspaper's reports are actually strictly neutral and occasionally report news that is beneficial to the mainland.

However, the color of Sing Tao Daily is so blue that it turns purple. Taiwan is still under martial law at this time. Locals in Taiwan are unable to run newspapers because of the ban. However, the Hong Kong newspaper of Sing Tao Daily can be sold to Taiwan.

In fact, the Sing Tao Daily's position is not firm. It has swayed several times over the past decades. Anyway, it is the only newspaper in Hong Kong that can be sold into Taiwan. After Kang Jianfei was officially banned by the Taiwan authorities, it is naturally impossible for him to report any news related to Kang Jianfei, so as not to lose the large market of Taiwan.

However, it doesn't matter if there are few newspapers to cooperate. The three largest sales newspapers in Hong Kong are now the Oriental Daily, Ming Pao and Cheng Pao. Among them, Cheng Pao was the champion of Hong Kong newspaper sales in the early 1970s, and later gradually surpassed the Oriental Daily and Ming Pao, but their sales volume per issue still exceeds 100,000 copies.

Outside the gate of Taiping Theater, reporters from Oriental Daily, Ming Pao and Cheng Bao ranked first, followed by reporters from Tiantian Daily, Xinbao, Express News and other popular newspapers. These newspapers focus on sales. They do not care whether you are left or right, but as long as you can increase sales, they will report it.

In addition, left-wing newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and Wenhui Po naturally sent powerful reporters to interview.

"Axing is here!"

"He and Mao Shunyun came together, the two must be dating."

"Xingzai, will the ban on DreamWorks have any impact on you?"

"Brother Da..."

Zhou Xingchi, Mao Shunyun and Wu Mengda have the best relationship, and this time they attended the premiere. Wu Mengda is the most talkative, so he is basically answering reporters' questions. Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunyun both rarely speak.

"The Gambling Saint" is the signature of the sequel to "The Gambling Saint", so Zhou Runfa, Huang Qiusheng, and Li Yafeng are also important guests tonight.

When many celebrities from Oriental Entertainment Company arrived one after another, there was a sudden commotion in the reporter group, but Xu Jiasheng, Liao Yiyuan, Fu Qi, Shi Hui, Xia Meng and others appeared together.

Among them, Xu Jiasheng is the president of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong Branch, Liao Yiyuan is the chairman of Yindu Organization, Fu Qi and Shi Hui are responsible for the production, actors and other work of Yindu Organization, and Xia Meng is the boss of the left-wing film company Qingniao.

Xu Jiasheng and Liao Yiyuan may not know many people, but Fu Qi, Shi Hui and Xia Meng were both very popular stars, and people who were a little older were impressed. Not only that, Fu Qi and Shi Hui also fought to the death during the WG period, and a huge news came out that year.

As soon as these people appeared, Kang Jianfei's identity as a red filmmaker was instantly revealed, which aroused discussion among many reporters.

Following Fu Qi, Shi Hui, Xia Meng and others, there are many left-wing movie stars. After Kang Jianfei signed, he lent it to Li Lianjie from Yindu Agency. This time, he will be on the road again. He will officially return to DreamWorks next year.

In order to support Kang Jianfei's new film, almost all the first and second-tier stars of Oriental Entertainment Company were present. Although there were many signing artists, they were still star-studded.

Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Guan Zhilin, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Li Lianjie, Wen Bixia, Li Yafeng, Ye Qianwen... At first glance, they were all familiar faces, and Zhao Yazhi and Li Saifeng were still staying in the mainland to film without coming.

As for Zhen Zidan, who became famous for "The Senior Sister Royal 2", he terminated his contract with Oriental Entertainment Company a month ago. Zhen Zidan has been unable to make it in DreamWorks in the past two years, and has cooled down again after about half a year of popularity, because DreamWorks has few kung fu films to shoot hard bridges and hard horses, and there is not much room for Zhen Zidan to play.

Zhen Zidan signed a ten-year contract with Oriental Entertainment Company. He could not afford the penalty for liquidated damages by himself. The one who paid for him was Taiwan Qunlong Pictures.

Qunlong Film mainly produces Gu Long martial arts films. Due to the decline of Taiwanese films in recent years, Qunlong Film will focus on Hong Kong, where the film industry is increasingly prosperous. The boss behind this company is a Taiwanese rich man who is not short of money. After deciding to enter Hong Kong last year, he directly signed Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia and his wife, and then signed Zhen Zidan, who is very famous in Taiwan through Yuan Heping.

As for Yuan Heping and Zhen Zidan, they also have a lot of relationships. Yuan Heping's own sister is Zhen Zidan's mother's apprentice. When it comes to relationships, Zhen Zidan is considered Yuan Heping's junior brother. Zhen Zidan's father is the editor of Sing Tao Daily in Boston. With the intimate relationship between Sing Tao Daily and the Taiwan authorities, it is normal for Zhen Zidan to leave DreamWorks to sign into a Taiwanese film company.

Taiwan’s Qunlong Film’s entry into Hong Kong is actually a reflection of the prosperity of Hong Kong films, attracting more and more overseas (mainly Nanyang and Taiwan) capital to pour into the Hong Kong film market. In the next ten years, the Hong Kong film industry will become prosperous and extremely chaotic. Investors in Taiwan and Nanyang spend money randomly, speculating on the pay of Hong Kong movie stars to an inflated level, even to the point where the pay of the male lead accounts for one-half of the film’s cost. The director can only fool the audience by filming for money.

In addition, Hong Kong clubs have also poured in, and disgusting incidents such as robbing copies and kidnapping of actors have frequently occurred, making the Hong Kong film industry so messy.

In comparison, the Hong Kong film industry before 1985 was relatively pure, but it was about to enter the era of demons dancing.

After the premiere interaction, Kang Jianfei went to sit between Xu Jiasheng and Liao Yiyuan, chatting with the two from time to time. Today, eight women came. No matter how brave Kang Jianfei was, he would not dare to stay in the middle of a pile of jealous jars. Finally, he deeply realized the principle that rabbits do not eat grass by their nests. It is really unbearable to provoke the actresses in his company. After all, everyone has to appear together often.

After chatting with Xu and Liao for a few words, Kang Jianfei suddenly asked Xia Meng next seat, "Why did Ms. Yang's Blue Bird Company stop production?"

Xia Meng smiled and said, "I am no longer the boss of Blue Bird Company."

"Is that so? Then I'm really ignorant." Kang Jianfei said in a daze.

Xia Meng sold Bluebird Film Company at the beginning of last year, but the matter was not made public, so that the movie "Like the Years of Water" filmed by Bluebird last year was still based on Xia Meng's brand.

Kang Jianfei shut up and said nothing more. He was only interested in Yan Hao, the director of "Like the Years". Yan Hao made his debut in the first year of Kang Jianfei's arrival in Hong Kong. His debut work "Curry Coffee" is considered to be the first Hong Kong new/Inspur movie in the strict sense. In the future, Yan Hao will win the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy four times.

The film officially begins screening.

At Kowloon Station, Ah Xing, who had just arrived in Hong Kong from mainland China, stuffed coins from Tianchao into a vending machine with five cents.

"Mainland, what are you doing? You are stupid when you use RMB to buy soda!" The police at the train station ran over and threw away Ah Xing's coins.

A Xing smiled and said, "I don't have Hong Kong dollars, comrade, I don't want it either."

The policeman said: "No one is your comrade. Did you see me wearing a uniform? Call me the police officer."

Afterwards, A Xing asked the police to lend him money to buy soda. The police teased A Xing and asked him to ask for "Jiang Ge" (a vending machine), so A Xing really went to ask for a vending machine.

"Bang!"

The soda fell from the machine, and the police looked dumbfounded as Ah Xing took the soda away.

"Hahaha..." The audience in the theater gave Kang Jianfei a lot of face, and the film burst into laughter at the beginning.

Many reporters even thought that the beginning of "Love Saint" and "Gambling Saint" were both ridiculed by mainlanders in Hong Kong. It was probably Kang Jianfei's personal experience.

There has been another bizarre rumor about Kang Jianfei since then...

The TV series "He Comes from the World" has allowed Hong Kong audiences to truly come across nonsensical comedy; while the hit screening of "Love Saint" means that nonsensical has finally been accepted by Hong Kong people.

The current "Gambling Saint" is even more unconventional in form. In just a few minutes of the film screening, a burst of hilariousness that lasted more than ten seconds came from the theater. In order to find Uncle San, Ah Xing, played by Zhou Xing, called the police with a photo of Wu Mengda, saying that it was a forced/rape. Then, when Wu Mengda touched Thirteen, several policemen rushed in to subdue him.

"Haha, Ah Xing is so mean!"

"Why is Wu Mengda so declining every time?"

"Damn, I can see through the special abilities of the cards."

“…”

The movie-watching reaction on the spot was extremely enthusiastic. Many people came for the title of the sequel to "Game God". Now they discovered that "Game God" and "Game God" are two completely different styles.

Zhou Runfa laughed when he saw this and said to Zhong Chuhong: "Mr. Kang is really good at spoofing, and gambling movies can be made like this."

Zhong Chuhong looked at Kang Jianfei who was sitting far away and said helplessly: "Who knows what he is thinking all day long?"

Several left-wing filmmakers don’t have much affection for “Gambling Saint”, but Shu Qi and Chen Bosen of “Movie Biweekly” were lit up, and the latter said: “Zhou Xingchi’s nonsensical style is more mature.”

Shu Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Kang is the male protagonist in two consecutive movies. It is hard for Zhou Xingchi to not become famous. It seems that he is going to become the second Zhou Runfa."

"It's a pity that DreamWorks has been banned now, and no matter how popular Zhou Xingchi is, he will not be able to receive a film appointment outside." Chen Bosen shook his head and sighed.

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter in the theater. Some scenes that looked a little bored twenty years later could make the audience feel stomachache.
