Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

"The evil forms of capitalists. If I become rich one day, I will own a cruise ship like this."

"How much would a boat like this cost? I think it would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan."

"Don't think too much. With our salary, it will take us a long time to save enough to buy a cruise ship." For a while, everyone who had seen the movie was keen on discussing the content of the movie.

"God of Gamblers" is of such high quality that some viewers are even willing to watch it two or three times. Such a good movie will not feel boring even after watching it three or four times.

In addition to ordinary audiences who were attracted by the story, some cultural scholars used "God of Gamblers" as a negative example to warn others not to indulge in **.

An elderly professor took his grandson to the cinema to watch the movie "God of Gamblers". The wonderful scenes in the movie attracted their attention. Even though the old professor was also fascinated by it, he took the opportunity to teach his grandson after walking out of the cinema.

"Did you see that? The video clearly shows that all the people won by cheating. Don't ever think of learning from such people."

The grandson rolled his eyes at the old professor because he didn't expect that he would be misunderstood just because he mentioned twice that he wanted to try playing dice. Almost every time he was with the old man, he would mention not to do this. However, the grandson actually just wanted to do some stunts with dice. After watching "God of Gamblers", his heart was filled with amazement and curiosity about the gambling skills displayed by the protagonist Gao Jin. Those skills opened his eyes. The movie was made so realistically that he couldn't help but guess that there might be many gamblers in the world who bet in this way. But because he was afraid of being severely reprimanded by the old professor, he didn't dare to speak out his idea of ​​trying it himself, so he could only hide this wish in his heart.

It is not just the audiences in the mainland who are enthusiastic about "God of Gamblers". Even fans in faraway Taiwan are attracted. Although Taiwan has many high-quality film markets and usually does not pay much attention to mainland investment works, after learning about the director and leading actors of this film, many people decided to go to the cinema to see it. As a result, they found that this movie was as pleasantly surprised as a treasure.

Although the film was funded by mainland funds, the production quality and the script were excellent. For a while, ** every fan who had watched the film not only felt satisfied, but also expressed their willingness to buy tickets again to relive the classic. Such feedback was very rare at the time. After all, for most films, even the first viewing would make the audience feel bored, not to mention being willing to pay for a second viewing. Although cinemas offer a variety of options, for many people, going to the cinema is still a relatively luxurious form of entertainment. Therefore, unless they are particularly fond of a movie, they will not consider watching it again.

After the premiere, "God of Gamblers" quickly became popular all over the country. In just a few hours, its popularity had spread to every corner of the country. People in cities and villages were enthusiastically discussing the content and topics of the movie, which inspired many people who usually don't pay much attention to movies to go and support it. Because it was a holiday period, more people joined the movie-watching team after hearing about the reputation of the movie. Some super fans even watched it several times in a row. In such a high demand, the box office data of the premiere on the next day was finally announced.

Zhang Zhu, who has been following this, understands that "God of Gamblers" is not only the best work of director Su Chen, but he himself is also a big fan of this film and is looking forward to its performance, hoping to lay the foundation for a possible sequel. After learning about the box office performance the next day, Zhang Zhu immediately called Su Chen. Su Chen, who was enjoying his reading time at home, answered the unexpected call, thinking that there might be new situations at work. But on the other end of the receiver, Zhang Zhu's voice was extremely excited to announce the good news, "Director, good news, the box office data for our movie's premiere is out!"

Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Assistant Zhang to care so much about "God of Gamblers"... In fact, for him, the box office of the movie is not the key. He is satisfied as long as it can have a publicity effect.

He himself didn't expect to make any profit from the box office.

Noticing that Su Chen didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, Assistant Zhang was extremely excited at this time. He didn't care about Su Chen's mood and directly revealed the news.

"Director, the box office of this premiere has reached five million!"

When he heard this number, Su Chen was truly shocked.

I didn’t expect the movie to perform so well this time. A box office of five million is an astonishing number these days.

At that time, the total box office of most movies was only a few million.

Even for the most popular films, it often takes several months for the box office to exceed 100 million yuan.

However, the movie "God of Gamblers" earned five million on the first day of its release. It is conceivable that it will not be difficult to break the 100 million yuan threshold.

In this situation, Assistant Zhang's excitement was beyond words. After all, for a newly established film company, it was a miracle to achieve such dazzling results with its first work.

And when he thought that all this originated from the script written by Su Chen, it all seemed so natural.

Su Chen has always been a person who creates legends, and now the high box office of the movie has become a natural result. After listening to Assistant Zhang's report, Su Chen was also very satisfied.

Although he doesn't expect the movie to make money, if that's the case, the movie will indeed bring in considerable revenue.

Since there is money to be made, why resist it?

Su Chen had previously estimated that the box office of this movie should still fluctuate around a few million, but he did not expect that the box office would reach more than five million on the first day.

Such results made Su Chen even more satisfied with the film.

When Assistant Zhang called Su Chen to report the good news, in another place, Baifan Shipyard received an unusual call because of an advertisement.

At this time of year, except for those on duty, most people in the shipyard have gone home to rest.

The person on duty that day was an old employee, who was still recalling the exciting scenes he had watched in "God of Gamblers" yesterday.

The cruise ship in the movie was completed by the Baifan Shipyard after working overtime. Every time he saw the details in the movie, he felt very familiar.

Just as he was wondering whether he should go to the cinema to watch the movie again, the shipyard's external phone rang.

This phone hadn't rung for a long time. At first, the old employee on duty even thought he had heard it wrong.

He hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. A slightly stiff Mandarin voice came from the other end: "Is this the Baifan Shipyard?"

The old employee felt a little strange and didn't know why the other party called.

He quickly replied: "This is 2.0 Baifan Shipyard, how can I help you?"

The person on the other end of the line was very friendly: "Is the cruise ship in the movie God of Gamblers produced by your factory? Do you have any cruise ships for sale now?"

The old employee then realized that it was because of the publicity brought by "God of Gamblers" that someone found the Baifan Shipyard based on the ending information of the movie.

He responded: "We don't have any stock at the factory yet, but we are building several new cruise ships and they will be delivered soon."

The man on the other end of the phone felt a little disappointed. He then asked, "How much does your company's yachts cost?"

This really stumped the employee on duty, whose duties were mainly focused on yacht manufacturing and who had never paid attention to the price of finished products. Faced with this sudden question, he felt quite embarrassed.

So I replied: "Sorry, I don't know about this. The factory is on holiday right now, so I suggest you call us later. I will help you get the factory manager's information and get back to you. Is that okay with you?"

Although the other party was a little disappointed, he still accepted the proposal.

After watching "God of Gamblers", he was deeply attracted by the luxury yachts built by the White Sail Shipyard.

The yacht in the film was extremely luxurious and decorated with brilliant splendor, which shocked him greatly. It was the first time he realized that domestically produced yachts could be made so exquisitely.

Unfortunately, pre-orders are not available yet, leaving the caller a little frustrated.

Fortunately, since Baifan Shipyard has no products on the market yet, he plans to call again for quotes in the future.

After hanging up the phone, the employees of the shipyard were very surprised. They didn't expect that after the movie showing, someone would actually contact them to buy the yacht from their factory.

At the same time, the gambling king, who was inspecting his assets in Macau, heard that a movie depicting his peers would be released soon. He became very interested in it and ordered a premiere ticket, looking forward to watching it.

When the premiere day arrived, the gambling king generously booked a cinema and invited his entourage and close friends to watch this unique movie together.

The film's content was fascinating and constantly brought them surprises during the viewing process. Especially for the gambling king who was no stranger to ** scenes, although he sneered at the ** skills in the film, he was particularly interested in the part about the luxury yacht presented.

In the eyes of this veteran filmmaker, the film's film techniques seemed too basic. Nevertheless, out of his understanding of artistic expression, the gambling king suppressed the urge to criticize and patiently watched the entire film.

Especially the scene of the luxury yacht at the end of the film aroused his interest. Seeing Gao Jin and Ding Kusai on the yacht made the gambling king even more interested.

After the movie ended, the gambling king began to wonder, and asked his advisor: "The movie says that you can ** on the high seas and avoid the laws of various countries. Is this really possible?" Although he knew that the plots of the movie were mostly fictional, he still thought of opportunities that might be applied in reality from time to time.

The consultant hurriedly replied: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with what is said in the movie. It is indeed possible to gamble freely in international waters without fear of legal interference." After learning this information, the gambling king's keen business mind immediately flashed many profit points.

Apparently, the movie inadvertently pointed out a bright new way out for him. He immediately instructed his assistant: "Contact the shipyard mentioned in the movie. I want to order a yacht for inspection."
