For a period of time after that, Xiang Nan circled between Xiao Jieba, Ding Wei and Lin Shufen, enjoying the blessings of the whole family.
Jiang Tiansheng and Fang Ting broke up. After all, it was because of her that he almost died on the streets of Holland. If Fang Ting were a man, he would have made her aware of the consequences of betraying her eldest brother.
But after all, a couple's favor lasts a hundred days. Jiang Tiansheng didn't embarrass her in the end, he just chose to break up with Fang Ting.
But the reason why Fang Ting became a star was mainly because of Jiang Tiansheng's support. With all his fame and status in the world, who wouldn't give Shang Ting a little face as his sister-in-law?
Now that they have broken up, naturally no one cares about Fang Ting anymore, causing her acting career to plummet to the bottom.
Fang Ting also knew that staying in Xiangjiang would only make people annoying. If as time goes by, Jiang Tiansheng's feelings for her become indifferent and his hatred for her deepens, then she may be in danger.
Therefore, Fang Ting subsequently chose to immigrate to Australia and never returned to Hong Kong since then.
…
On the East Star side, the leader was killed, the two hall masters were arrested, and the other uncles with unclean backgrounds were all anxious and worried, fearing that they would be betrayed by the crow and the smiling tiger, and many even ran away in advance.
As a result, Dongxing is naturally in a precarious situation. At this time, a powerful boss is needed to calm down the situation in order to revive Dongxing.
Therefore, Zhou Benchu, nicknamed the Pulsatilla, returned to Xiangjiang from Malaysia, and he also brought with him his protégé, Lei Yaoyang, nicknamed Ben Leihu.
Pulsatilla is a veteran of the older generation. He went to Malaysia to develop in the late 1980s and was very powerful there. Now back in Xiangjiang, he has money, people, and prestige, so he was quickly elected as the new leader of Dongxing.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Pulsatilla negotiated peace with Jiang Tiansheng, and the two sides let it go, living in peace, and making money in harmony.
Because the camel was dead and the crow and the smiling tiger had been brought to justice, Jiang Tiansheng was willing to sell Pulsatilla a thin noodle.
As a result, the two sides settled down and ushered in a new period of peace.
…
In July, "God of Gamblers 3: Young God of Gamblers" was officially released in the summer season.
After its release, the box office was actually very good, with the box office exceeding HK$5 million in the first week. The total box office in Hong Kong is estimated to be around HK$16 million.
For the Hong Kong film market, which is becoming increasingly sluggish, this kind of box office is already considered very good.
Therefore, in order to promote publicity and reward the people in front of and behind the scenes, the film company specially held a celebration banquet. As an investor and sponsor, Xiang Nan was naturally invited.
"Director Wang, congratulations, the box office is really good." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Actually, it's pretty average. In the early 1990s, the box office in the first week should have exceeded 10 million." Wang Jing shook his head and said, "It's really not working anymore now. Almost no one even watched "God of Gamblers 3"."
His previous "God of Gamblers 1" and "God of Gamblers 2" both achieved box office miracles. The box office of "God of Gamblers 2" even reached 52 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in the first week exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars. That's really making money every day.
Now the box office in the first week is only 5 million, which is a huge difference of four times.
"Don't be discouraged, there is always a chance for revival." Xiang Nan comforted.
"Mr. Chen, I'd like to lend you some good advice." Wang Jing said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Chen, since you are so interested in movies, are you interested in investing in a film company?"
"Okay, can we talk about it? I don't know which company it is?" Xiang Nan asked curiously after hearing this.
"My senior brother Du Qifeng wants to start his own company, but he lacks start-up capital. If Mr. Chen thinks it's good, I can introduce you to him," Wang Jing said.
"Are you and Du Qifeng brothers?" Xiang Nan was stunned when he heard this.
Du Qifeng, known as Du Sir and Du Dapao, is one of the few filmmakers in Hong Kong who can still stand strong during the decline of Hong Kong films. The films produced such as "Emergency", "Dark War", "Dark Flower", "PTU", "Dragon City Years", etc. are all classics.
Moreover, his film style is cold, realistic, and full of fatalism, and he is highly praised by movie fans.
In comparison, although Wang Jing has also made many good films, such as the "God of Gamblers" series, "Chasing Girls" series, "The Gambler" series, "The Deer and the Cauldron" series, etc.
However, most of his movie styles are comedy-based and full of vulgar jokes. Although they are full of entertainment and the box office is not bad, his reputation is far behind that of Du Qifeng.
Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't expect that Wang Jing and Du Qifeng would actually be brothers.
"Du Qifeng is my father's student, so of course we are brothers in the same discipline." Wang Jing explained with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, I can meet him."
…
Later, at the celebration banquet, Xiang Nan also met Chen Farong.
After she heard that he was a Macau tycoon, she kept ogling him.
Xiang Nan knew that she was crazy about marrying a rich man. After her debut, she often dated Xiaokai from rich families, but she always ended up getting dumped.
Despite this, she remained indomitable and became more courageous with every setback. Now that I heard that Xiang Nan was a Macau tycoon with a net worth of at least 500 million, I immediately fell in love with him.
Xiang Nan was also somewhat interested in this short-haired beauty, so the two hit it off immediately and went to the hotel to exchange feelings that night.
In the following days, he stayed with Chen Farong and Nianhuhu. For this reason, he even gave the other party a luxury car worth hundreds of Hong Kong dollars, which made Chen Farong very happy.
However, when Chen Farong proposed to make the relationship public, Xiang Nan refused.
What a joke, they just had a casual marriage. When the time came and the dew dried, they dispersed. He doesn't want to marry a female star.
To be honest, those actresses in the entertainment industry may not be as clean as the dancers on Temple Street.
At least many of those dancers have their own difficulties and have no choice but to do so. Most of those female stars follow the trend and are only interested in profit. The heart is much dirtier.
Chen Farong was very dissatisfied with this. She dated Xiang Nan because she wanted to marry him. But he is not even willing to make the relationship public, let alone marry him.
It's just that Xiang Nan gave him too much, which made her reluctant to part with it for a while, so she could only deal with it perfunctorily at first.
Both parties know that each other is not sincere and is just a transaction, so it is much easier to get along with each other.
…
"God of Gamblers 3" continued to be a hit, with a final box office of 16 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not too high, but not low either.
The release of this movie has brought a lot of exposure to Xiang Nan's hotels.
Because some of the most important scenes in the movie were shot in his hotel. Magnificent and magnificent, it left a deep impression on the audience.
Xiang Nan also used this to promote the game, and even organized a "Global God of Gambling Tournament", inviting experts from all over the world to compete.
With such a gimmick, tourists naturally wanted to see it, so the hotel's business boomed, and its turnover more than doubled from before.
