Chapter 181. Preparing for "The Holy Gambler"
After returning from the crew of "Zombie Husband", Duan Zihao returned to the president's office of the Actor Entertainment, and someone knocked on the door. Then someone came in with a terrifying head.
When Duan Zihao saw it, he couldn't help but smile.
Because the person who came in was nothing but his good friend Zhou Xingchi.
By the way, Zhou Xingchi lived a very comfortable life on TVB during this period. With the help of Duan Zihao, he was able to make a name for himself on TVB. In addition to filming TV series and becoming a supporting role, he also served as the host of children's programs.
"Axing, why are you here?" Duan Zihao asked with a smile.
"Sign the contract!" Zhou Xingchi rubbed his hands and said, "Didn't you let me film "The Gambling Saint", I'll come here."
"Wireless will release people?"
"Why don't you agree? I'm not a big star. I'm just a host and filming TV series... Besides, I didn't sign a long-term contract with them, and they won't sign me, so I have to join you!"
"That's good - no - wrong - I'll let someone give you the contract to show you first!" Duan Zihao didn't care about those, Zhou Xingchi was definitely a treasure.
Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "You have a pretty good place here. When I become a star and become a boss, I will also have an office like this!"
"Haha, there will be that day, but you have to do it here first."
While talking, Zeng Huaqian, who was the female secretary of a joke, walked in and gave him a contract.
Duan Zihao checked it and handed the contract to Zhou Xingchi and said, "Xingzai, see if there is anything else you are not satisfied with, you can raise it."
Zhou Xingchi roughly flipped through the contract and said, "You won't lie to me. The conditions written here are very good, and the pay is quite high... I have no objection."
"I really have no objection?" Duan Zihao asked with a smile.
"This sign has been three years!"
"I know, but I believe you will not treat me badly in the past three years!"
"Haha, you're right. Actually, I'm really afraid that you will run away after you make you famous."
"You can't trust me like that. At worst, I'll say hello to you before I change jobs."
"Whoever has you, I have already figured out the moves."
"You forced me to say that it is difficult to be a loyal minister, and it is not easy to be a treacherous minister."
"Okay, I won't spank you anymore. Let's talk about it. What do you think of the drama "The Gambling Saint"?"
"You ask me for my opinion?" Zhou Xingchi pointed at his nose.
"Yes, others don't know me, but I know clearly the tricks you have. If you don't let you show off your skills, you will be suffocated!"
"Haha, you know me the best. Ah Hao, I suddenly realized that you are so cute!"
"Just flattery, say what's your opinion..."
"The opinion is... I don't think my voice is good enough. Can you find someone to dub me in the later stage?"
"Ah, what did you say?" Duan Zihao said in surprise.
"Ahem, is my request too high?" Zhou Xingchi said weakly. "I made such a request as soon as I came."
"No, the request you made is very good." Duan Zihao said decisively, you should know that the reason why Zhou Xingchi was able to succeed in his previous life was that the grouper who was professionally dubbed by him made an indelible contribution. Quan Yin, Zhou Xingchi's voice is not funny, nor am he funny, and it is easy for people to get out of the show.
"Since that's the case, I'll think you agreed."
"Of course, I will find a professional voice actor for you and Wu Mengda. Also, you and Wu Mengda must work hard, I am optimistic about you and will become the best partners!"
Nonsense, Duan Zihao knew very clearly that Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda are definitely a golden combination in the comedy world. They are also a live treasure group. The movies they starred together are often popular. Compared with the collaboration between Zhou Xingchi and other actors, Wu Mengda and him are definitely "born perfect match".
Before leaving, Zhou Xingchi suddenly turned around and said to Joke Hao: "Thank you, Ah Hao."
"What are you thanks, you guy!" Duan Zihao quipped.
"I'm serious, thank you for letting me appear in this drama... I know, you are helping me. Your "God of Gambling" is now very popular. Isn't you trying to take on "God of Gambling" to play me?" Zhou Xingchi said sincerely.
In fact, this is true. In the eyes of many people, being able to take on gambling movies is definitely a good opportunity to get ahead.
Just because Duan Zihao created a new history of gambling movies and made the gambling movies shine again, Zhou Xingchi can go with the flow. As long as he performs well, he will definitely become a big hit.
Duan Zihao didn't expect that Zhou Xingchi would be so emotional, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Since that's the case, you just owe me a meal!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely invite you, just because I'm afraid you won't come!"
"Of course I won't go to high-end restaurants and food stalls, but if your mother cooks the food, I'm very greedy!"
When Zhou Xingchi heard the joke about the delicious food his mother cooked, he smiled and said, "Okay, go to my house this weekend, and I will call Andy Lau and Awei, and let my mother make a Manchu and Han banquet for you!"
"One word is certain!"
"One word is certain!"
"Hahaha!" the two of them laughed.
Zeng Huaqian next to him really doesn’t understand. Is it worth their happiness to go to home for a simple meal?
However, how can women understand men's friendship?!
...
The launch of "The Gambling Saint" started with a high-profile promotion under the promotion of Duan Zihao. Compared with "Zombie Husband", Duan Zihao gave higher expectations and more financial support.
Because Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda themselves lack influence, Duan Zihao can't help but play the role of the God of Gambling in the play, and invites big stars such as Li Xiuxian, Zhou Runfa, Zheng Shaoqiu, and Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, and Zhong Chuhong to come and play the role of this play.
In other words, Duan Zihao began to use the lineup to increase the shortcomings of the combination of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda and increase people's attention to this drama.
As for the future, whether this comedy king can turn this drama into a classic and create his comedy path like he did in his previous life, everything depends on luck.
As expected, with such a large-scale support from Duan Zihao, the opening ceremony of "The Gambling Saint" became popular. This drama has become the object of discussion after dinner, mainly comparing this drama with "The Gambling Saint". Some even say that this is a sequel to "The Gambling Saint".
No matter what, major media and newspapers also gave large reports on "Gambling Saint".
Hong Kong Entertainment Times—
"Damn Zihao made a cameo appearance in "The Gambling Saint", and the resurrection of the Gambling God is unstoppable!"
Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly—
"Zhou Xingchi is to create a crazy gambling saint to compete with the gambling god's high momentum!"
...
With these comments, "The Gambler" seems to have a tendency to become popular before it is released, which makes the manipulator behind Duan Zihao breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, my skills were not in vain. (To be continued...)
