The reason why "God" can become "God" is a projection of human hope, Plato said that the real existence is behind the candle flame, not on the projection on the mountain wall, and the secular people will always regard the black shadow on the wall as the real existence, because they never look back to see what reality is. The same is true of Zhou Xingchi in the original time and space, he has become a symbol, and no one will doubt his status as the "King of Comedy".

But in this time and space, people have not yet experienced the time and time again breaking box office records, and the top eleven people of the year accounted for seven of the most powerful films, and the star Zhou Xingchi, who was all covered by the first five.

Before the release of the gambling saint, in the eyes of peers and ordinary audiences, Zhou Xingchi was the stupid thief who played two home alone stupid thieves, or the role of the unproductive father who returned to the future, although Home Alone and Back to the Future are both global box office hit movies, but Zhou Xingchi is only a supporting role, and has also played the leading role in other movies, but the role is just like that...... In general, this is true both for people and characters.

As a result, all of a sudden, such a person who doesn't have too much personal characteristics is so popular, the fire is a mess, everyone is actually very confused, why is it so popular?

Why is the movie played by such an unattractive person so popular, and what's so good about it?

In fact, it is easy to say, because although Zhou Xingchi is also acting in a gambling movie, his gambling film is not serious, he is a gambling saint, but it is completely different from Zhou Runfa's God of Gamblers, he actually has special functions, such a setting brings the audience an extremely novel feeling.

In the movie Gambling Shengli, he plays a mainlander, so you can laugh at the different cultures on both sides in the movie, such a mockery is not one-way, it is a mockery of both sides, the prejudice of mainlanders against Hong Kong people, and the prejudice of Hong Kong people against mainlanders is everywhere in the movie.

This is very willing to see for Hong Kong people who have returned to life after the return to life after 97, because some of the dialogues between the third uncle and his nephew Zuo Songxing Ah Xing in the movie express some anxieties of Hong Kong people, and they are on the minds of all audiences.

Even the surname of the name Zuo Songxing is very meaningful, Zuo stands for leftist, Hong Kong people are leftist in people and things that tend to the mainland, just like Yindu and Shuangnan Cinema are leftist film companies and leftist cinemas.

And in the movie, Ah Xing has a special function, which also has a meaning, because in the early years, even in the 80s, mainland qigong was also very popular, and qigong is very similar to special functions, so in the original time and space, whether it is a gambling saint, a gambler, a gambling saint on the beach, a gambling god 2, or even a cousin, hello or something, but whenever there is a special function, it must be a mainlander.

Although the stalk of special functions is just a joke about the mainland and the overly stereotypical impression of Hong Kong people on the mainland, it is precisely because Ah Xing has special functions that Zhou Xingchi can give full play to the nonsensical performance tension when performing, and not be conservative.

Zhou Xingchi is completely unconscious when performing, unconscious does not mean that he is performing indiscriminately.Unconsciousness refers to how to not follow the plot, to perform, a little bias is a turn, reversal, surprise, you think I should be like this, but I am not like this but will be like that.

A person does things and speaks incomprehensibly, without a center, without a clear purpose in language and behavior, vulgar and casual, whining, but not without reason, this is nonsense, thinking jumps, the last second is still this, the next second has said another completely irrelevant, worldly different thing.

This is a superficial nonsensical explanation, specific to Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy, then there are more ways to express it.

It's like parosing Zhou Runfa's way of playing in "God of Gamblers" on a serious occasion, you can joke and mess around in the shootout, this is the unconscious on the screen, why do you do this? This is actually a challenge, when the audience is always subject to the development of the movie plot offstage, tired, controlled, these will make the audience feel restrained, so Zhou Xingchi's comedy has to let the audience's heads get carnival and get released, and the meaning of "The Saint of Gambling" lies in this. It revolutionized the presentation of comedy in Hong Kong.

The special function gambling film is a "creative" play after "God of Gamblers". Gambling cards, buying dice, and betting on horses, the film tries to play the best way to play a special function in the lives of ordinary citizens. Making a fortune by gambling and making a fortune by gambling is the dream of the citizen class without financial capital, and the emergence of special functions is indeed more practical than myths such as the God of Wealth from heaven.

The final casino showdown, starting from the preliminaries, is when Ah Xing is the best to watch. When it came to the real gambling king showdown, although Ah Xing did not wear the "gambling holy suit" of Yushu Linfeng and winning all battles, his demeanor was like that, and he was worthy of the title of gambling saint. After Ah Xing learned that he had lost his special function, he made people feel very happy with the desperate gambling method of SHO HAND - rich is amazing, everyone has only one fate, I will fight with you. Although Zhang Min's appearance in the end and Ah Xing's victory are ordinary and boring means, it doesn't matter, Ah Xing has won the psychological support of the audience, and the plot doesn't matter what it is.

This is a crude movie, and the cost is not high, but the audience has a good grasp of psychology, and Zhou Xingchi's "nonsensical" genius can be fully utilized, so it is not surprising that the box office is extremely high.

As soon as the gambling saint came out, it swept the whole Hong Kong, and when chatting, there was no common language during the Spring Festival, and quite a lot of people were already learning some funny ways in the gambling saint to joke and chat.

The audience who has watched it is crazy everywhere, major newspapers and publications are also reporting on it, and even ATV and TVB's many programs are also being introduced, analyzing the success of the gambling saint and the impact of the nonsensical expression on the development of comedy in the future.

For a while, even the eight-star annunciation and the flying dragon general, who were not inferior to the box office too much, were silenced by the gambling saint.

This is Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yanfa, the three of them can be said to be the most appealing movie superstars after entering the 80s, since the 80s, the Hong Kong annual box office champion is the three of them alternately sitting.

Now that the three of them have been kicked off the throne by Zhou Xingchi together, it also means that another superstar who can compete with them has been born.
