"This kid really knows how to pull off a stunt. What 'God of Gamblers'? Haha, a bunch of ignorant fools. They believe whatever someone posts. They're really brainless!"
Xiong Tang cursed inwardly:
"They initially agreed to film a public service announcement about anti-gambling, but now they've come up with this 'God of Gamblers' thing. Damn it, what a two-faced guy! He's disgusting!"
Either you shouldn't have touted this in the first place, or people will think you're really going to make a film about public welfare, and in the end it'll all just be a scam..."
After venting his anger for a while, Xiong Tang felt much better.
However, he scoffed at the news that this kid surnamed Xu knew how to gamble.
In his view, all the behind-the-scenes footage was just a gimmick, all fake, nothing more than using the guise of publicity to stir up trouble.
Other companies' marketing campaigns often focus on highlighting the strengths of the film's plot.
But the DaXu Culture that the kid surnamed Xu belongs to always just hypes up his personal stuff, it's never original at all...
Despite his inner grumbling, Xiong Tang had to admit that Da Xu Culture's promotional strategy was actually quite eccentric.
In fact, Xia Lifei Film and Television had also used this method, but unfortunately, their company did not have a big star like the young man surnamed Xu.
Therefore, its promotional efforts were far less effective than those of Daxu Culture. This is probably one of the reasons why Xiong Tang was somewhat dissatisfied with it.
Our own company is using this method for promotion and it's not working well, but that kid surnamed Xu on the other side is making a fortune with this trick. It's infuriating to think about!
...
"Is this supposed to be an anti-gambling public service announcement? This is clearly promoting the issue, completely contradicting it, and utterly shameless!"
On the other hand, "Brother Min" and others, who were also determined to film this anti-gambling public service project, were furious after seeing the promotional footage from Da Xu Culture.
The sudden appearance of a competitor had initially made Min Ge and his group quite unhappy, but they reluctantly let it go because they knew they had powerful backers.
Unexpectedly, the other party has become more and more disgusting. It's one thing to name a movie 'God of Gamblers,' but now even the behind-the-scenes footage is full of this kind of plot. This is just too unscrupulous.
After muttering curses under his breath for a while, Brother Min rallied and said:
"It's alright, we don't need to worry too much. Da Xu Culture actually produced this kind of plot, which is completely inconsistent with the public welfare theme of anti-gambling!"
Hahaha, they brought this on themselves. They didn't even consider what they could and couldn't film, just randomly taking pictures here. Daxu Culture is finished.
"Really, Brother Min? Da Xu Culture's film can't pass censorship?"
A bystander asked curiously.
Brother Min nodded, his face full of certainty:
"Whether it can be released or not, I don't know, but if it wants to participate in our awards, it definitely won't pass the censorship."
This content doesn't meet our entry requirements at all, and the title doesn't serve as a warning either, it's absolutely unacceptable..."
Hearing this, the people around breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, when it comes to truly competing with Daxu Culture, especially with Director Xu, the group really had no confidence at all.
But now that they heard that Daxu Culture wasn't even qualified to compete, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The anxiety I felt vanished without a trace. It was wonderful that we didn't have to compete with Daxu Culture.
After all, the person opposite us is Director Xu, a top figure in the entire film industry. How can we, mere nobody, compete with such a great director?
Previously, it was Min Ge who had no self-awareness at all, thinking that he could do whatever he wanted just because of his uncle. It's really laughable.
"Hey, what's with those expressions? You all look so relieved. Were you all scared before?"
Min Ge clearly noticed the change in everyone's expressions and asked with a dissatisfied look.
Isn't that a rhetorical question you already know the answer to?
The group exchanged a glance, but out of respect for Brother Min, they quickly gave perfunctory replies:
"No, no, Brother Min, we're not scared at all. We just think it's better to avoid trouble and focus on winning the award."
"Yes, our goal is very clear: to win the award. So it's best to avoid conflicts if possible. Peace brings wealth!"
"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth. Daxu Culture is, after all, a large company with considerable influence. There's no need for us to antagonize such a entity; it won't benefit us at all."
"That's right. Although we're not afraid, we don't want any unnecessary trouble. Winning an award peacefully is better than anything else, so please don't act impulsively. It's not worth it!"
Hearing what these guys said, Brother Min couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Judging from their expressions and tone, it's clear these guys are very guilty, which makes me angry just thinking about it.
"But it's definitely a good thing that this guy surnamed Xu isn't getting involved. Oh well, I'm too lazy to bother with them. Those spineless bastards!"
Min cursed under his breath, deciding not to stoop to their level.
Of course, he was somewhat reluctant to admit that he also felt a sudden sense of relief, which could only be explained as an illusion.
...
"I hereby announce that filming for 'God of Gamblers' has officially wrapped..."
On set, as soon as Xu Lu uttered those words, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Although most of the crew members are not filming a movie for the first time, they always have different feelings when this time comes.
However, after everyone cheered for a while, they found that there was no further news from President Xu, which was simply unbelievable.
In the past, every time a new drama wrapped up filming, the crew would have a wrap party. Why wasn't there one this time?
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Xu Lu clapped his hands again and said with a smile:
"Although filming for 'God of Gamblers' has wrapped up, the crew isn't ready to disband yet. The wrap party will have to be postponed for now, because we're going to continue filming 'Saint of Gamblers' next."
Apart from a very few people who knew the inside story, everyone else who heard the news was dumbfounded.
Gambling Saint?
Is the company about to start filming a new drama?
What does this have to do with the God of Gamblers?
Everyone was completely baffled, but fortunately Xu Lu continued:
"As the title 'God of Gamblers' suggests, it shares the same theme as 'God of Gamblers,' just a different story."
Because the themes and plots have many similarities, we will not create a new production team and will use the original production team.
Actually, there's another piece of news to share: after "God of Gamblers II" is finished, there will be another "God of Gamblers III"...
The already shocked crowd was completely stunned after hearing the whole story.
