"This kid really knows how to save money. He would have paid at least 20 million to find a top-tier star."
While it must be admitted, this salary is only justifiable if it matches the status of that guy surnamed Xu.
After all, the salaries of those young male celebrities in the industry are no less than this, so..."
On Xia Lifei Film and Television's side, Xiong Tang thought to himself:
"But like now, getting a producer who has never acted in a movie to play a role is dirt cheap."
Damn, it seems we've all been fooled by this kid's talk of 'two main characters'.
Judging from the current situation, it's probably not a case of two main characters at all; the main character is only himself, surnamed Xu..."
Having figured this out, Xiong Tang was somewhat annoyed.
Although this incident did not result in any loss for him.
But the thought that I had been fooled still made me a little upset.
What's more, this guy who spread false information and deceived people is Xiong Tang's old rival, which makes it even more frustrating.
"It's a bit of a pity, why didn't Longsheng Film and Television come out to cause trouble this time!"
Even if we can't find any trouble for Daxu Culture, it would be a good thing to annoy them.
That Xiao Guangshan is such a spineless coward, he just gave in like that, damn it…
Xiong Tang cursed inwardly.
...
"This is the last time I'll pay attention to film industry news before I retire. I have to say, ordinary people simply can't keep up with Director Xu's ideas."
I doubt any of the big directors in the industry would dare to choose a producer to play one of the two lead roles like he did. That's the difference!
Zhao Fu muttered to himself:
"No wonder I lost in the previous competitions. It turns out that I am fundamentally inferior to Director Xu."
It's a pity I realized this too late, and now I have to choose to withdraw. What a shame!
Although I have chosen to leave the industry, I will continue to follow Daxu Culture as an ordinary netizen.
When Director Hui's latest film, 'God of Gamblers,' is released, I will definitely be the first to buy a ticket.
This time, however, I will not have any ulterior motives, but will experience it purely with a mindset of enjoyment…
Thinking of this, Zhao Fu suddenly smiled, and his expression became much more carefree.
Perhaps because he would no longer be working in the film industry, he suddenly let go.
All those past successes and failures now seem like nothing more than fleeting clouds, and don't seem to matter much anymore.
...
Other people in the industry were also shocked upon hearing the news.
"It has to be Director Xu again. He always manages to create a big news story. This time, it's another surprise."
"I remember that Lin Qiying, who played Uncle Nine, was said to have been a chef on set before, and had only played minor roles at most."
But this very person was chosen by director Xu to play the lead role in a zombie film, catapulting him to fame.
"So Director Xu has a really good eye for talent. He might just make another producer famous this time."
"Looks like this is going to be another great story. The big producer has transformed into a top star, hahaha..."
...
"But I really don't know how Director Xu's film will unfold this time. It seems like there aren't any outstanding films in this genre in China!"
“That’s right! Great Xia has no successful examples in the field of anti-gambling, and not even in the field of gambling techniques.”
"So, if Director Xu's 'God of Gamblers' becomes a hit, it will start a new genre?"
"If it were anyone else, it would be wishful thinking, but if it were Director Xu, everything would feel perfectly logical."
"Yes, he popularized several genres, including zombie movies, science fiction, and campus movies..."
...
Amidst all the commotion, the 'God of Gamblers' movie crew officially started filming.
On the film set.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the middle-aged man shaking the dice.
This is Uncle Meng, the gambling expert hired by the production team. Some scenes involving card skills and gambling techniques will be filmed by this middle-aged man.
As Uncle Meng, a middle-aged man, placed the porcelain jar on the table, he then slowly opened it.
Before everyone's eyes, the six dice in the porcelain jar were stacked up, and the top one was a red dot representing the unique number.
As Uncle Meng removed the dice one by one, everyone discovered that there was much more to it than that, because every single die underneath had a number of one.
"My goodness, this dice-rolling technique is amazing! Not only did they stack all six dice, but they all landed on a single dot!"
"I don't know where the production team found this Uncle Meng, but he seems to have real gambling skills."
"But since the storyline shows that the Japanese land of Sakura rolled six ones, what's the next step?"
"Yeah, no matter how you shake it, it can't be smaller than six ones, so how does the God of Gamblers, Ko Chun, win?"
...
In fact, not only were the crew members puzzled, but Uncle Meng, who served as the special technical advisor, also looked confused.
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Meng offered his suggestion:
"Director Xu, how about we use that clip from earlier as the God of Gamblers? I'll roll another die with five ones!"
In the movie's plot, Xu Lu's character, "God of Gamblers Ko Chun," has two matches against people from the Sakura Kingdom.
The first game was mahjong, where the God of Gamblers won 800,000 against the Japanese player's 790,000.
The second round is a dice game. There are six dice in a porcelain jar, and whoever rolls the lowest total number wins.
