In the hotel room on the big screen to soft rock music, the MIT team members are wearing make-up before the action, similar continuous close-ups, Natalie wearing a blonde wig and Alexis wearing a black wig...... There was silence in the auditoriums of the 3,354 theaters in front of the screen, but not because there were no seats, not because they were so dull that they dozed off, but because everyone was engrossed with excitement.

Finally going to the casino to count cards! After learning so much, you can immediately see how they win a lot of money! Looking at the picture of Jeff Ma wearing black-rimmed glasses, Claire in the seat is very excited to suck on a straw and drink a big sip of Coke, this is what she wants to see the most, make a lot of money by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division card counting! She can't do it, but it's good to see how geniuses do it!

Adam next to him also felt his heart beating excitedly, although he hated to be annoyed with his girlfriend all day long obsessed with Magic Young, but I have to admit that Magic Young's movies are always full of attraction! He feels as if he is playing "Diablo", he has practiced a very high level, played a good equipment, and now he is going to fight a powerful boss!

"Genius Genius Genius ......" Evelyn unconsciously whispered a few times, very emotional at the disguise of the MIT group, and Kelly looked at her and muttered, "It hasn't started yet." ”

Alan Lee, Jonas Lin, Sofia Chow in the same screening room...... For almost all audiences in 3354 theaters, this section is what they are most looking forward to, and it is the reason why they enter the theater, talented students play in Las Vegas!

Looking at the familiar past on the big screen, Ma Kaiwen's honest face has a smile of reminiscence, the movie has artistic processing and fiction, but it really makes him feel the passion of that time, not the thrill of winning, but the sense of accomplishment that can "conquer the world" at a young age, the entire casino, only they know what they are doing!

That's what he told Wang Yang, and then Wang Yang said, "Very good! I'll shoot it." ”

"If you want to win, it's very important to find a suitable gaming table!" Wu Yanzu, who was dressed like an ordinary white-collar worker on the screen, exhaled and walked into the casino, the camera rotated from his front close-up to behind him, looking around! Suddenly flashed back to the club classroom, Natalie took the chalk and wrote on the blackboard, and said quickly: "One, find a table with fewer people, the fewer people, the more times you play in a box......

Before her voice was finished, the tinkling of the slot machine gradually changed from faint to loud, and at the end of the supplementary course introduction in less than ten seconds, the audience felt "No wonder, these are the details of the team's operation now!"

The picture returns to the drunken casino, Wu Yanzu walked towards the 21 o'clock table inside, his eyes looked around curiously, the camera slowed down, the screen of the slot machine was rolling, and the big roulette wheel was rotating...... The gamblers shouted loudly, with joy and annoyance, and their shouts E-ON!" gradually became faint and slow, and a female voice sounded at the right time: "Card counting is not gambling!"

The camera and sound suddenly returned to normal speed, and I saw that Natalie and the others in disguise were already sitting down and proceeding, and I saw the controller Alexis holding his tail finger and pulling the hair hanging from his ear, the signal to enter the game! Wu Yanzu walked to her table and sat down, took out a stack of money, and smiled at the dealer: "Give me 10,000 chips." ”

At the moment when he got the chips, Alexis next to him suddenly whispered to himself aggrievedly, as if he was venting, and seemed to be talking to the dealer: "Ah, what should I do, I lost a lot of money! My mother will definitely scold me to death if she finds out...... That wordy, big-nosed, vulgar, boring woman!"

Verbose = 15 points, Big Nose = 1/3 with about 1/3 of cards left, Vulgar = 25 with 25 cards of 10, Boring = 2 with 2 aces...... Quick camera switching, so that Wu Yanzu looks like his mind is spinning, the narration and subtitles also make people figure out the situation of the gambling table, he picked up a few chips and injected into the game, the dealer sent out the playing cards one by one, Wu Yanzu quickly calculated the points, 16, 15, 14, 15...... To the surprise of the audience, in the process of dealing the cards quickly and opening a new round, Jeff Ma has lost several small bets in a row, although he has previously said that "you need absolute patience to count the cards." But they were all a little impatient, but the soundtrack that they only listened to when people's blood was boiling was gently accompanied, and suddenly Wu Yanzu's inner narrator said: "17 points, 82 cards left, 17 cards of 10, 2 cards of A...... It's time!"

The gradually exciting music and the phrase "It's time" lifted the spirits of all the audience, whether they could see it clearly, seemed to understand it or not, and were confused, they could expect Jeff Ma's performance time to come!

"Whew!" Wu Yanzu seemed to be very annoyed on the big screen, picked up a large stack of chips and pushed out to place a heavy bet! The dealer who did not think so continued to deal cards, the table camera was suddenly fast and slow, and a spade 9 was put into the card grid in front of the chip grid, and another square 9, in slow motion, Wu Yanzu's narration sounded quickly: "Don't card EV value (expected number) is +12%, split each 9 itself EV value is +10%, two hands are +20%! Unless the dealer's face card is 7, 10 and A ......"

"Split!" The camera gave the dealer the 6 cards of hearts, Wu Yanzu smiled and said, the fingers of Alexis next to him touched the chips on the table that were not betted, but did not pick them up, the subtitles on the screen showed: "It is not suitable to split!" The white dealer asked "OK?", Wu Yanzu ignored Alexis's suggestion, nodded and said, "I'm sure!"

A J of spades was issued, 19 points, followed by a red ace, 20 points! Wu Yanzu "oh" sound, the heart of the surprised and happy Alexis pretended to be envious, the white dealer turned over the hidden card is square 10, he did not ask for the card again: "the dealer 16 points!"

The soundtrack suddenly burst into high spirits, and the camera focused on the dealer's hand to take out the two stacks of chips and push them in front of Wu Yanzu, which was nearly half more than the first 10,000 chips! Wu Yanzu had a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Next game!"

Under the fast-forward camera, there are more and more chips on the table, interspersed with his cheers from time to time: "YES!", "Black Jack!" ...... "The cards are cold!" Just when the audience was enjoying the thrill of winning and making money, Alexis got up and left with her few chips, and after a close-up of Wu Yanzu's face, the soundtrack gradually stopped, and flashed back to a Natalie lecture: "Give back! Don't think about 100% of the profit, we have made 90% of the profits!"

Under the fast camera, Wu Yanzu pushed a few big bets and lost, and then he had enough to play, and said, "Help me exchange these chips for cash!"

He stood up with a roll of more than 30,000 yuan, and looked back, only to see that everyone in the MIT group had changed positions, and in some quick editing rooms, everyone on the screen was different, and Natalie at the table shouted "Blackjack, Blackjack, AAAA...... I want Blackjack!" Alexis watched as he stood at the table...... Wu Yanzu smiled and walked towards the table on Jay Baruchel's side.

"Hahaha-" The next shot is the coffee table in the hotel room, several thick rolls of money are thrown onto the coffee table, and in the laughter of men and women, another few rolls of money are thrown into the picture, "Welcome our genius, Jeff Ma!" ...... "Whew!" Watching the MIT team members laugh and count the results of the night, countless viewers breathed a long sigh like Claire, how complicated is card counting! Hearing Natalie laugh and say, "100,000 and 1,600 yuan!" , they all have a very satisfied sense of refreshment, but also very unsatisfied, although they all have a lot of clear concepts about card counting, including team operations, card counting itself technology...... After watching these gambling table plots tonight, many, many viewers and film critics naturally remembered "The Hangover" and "Rain Man...... There are also the old gambling movies, movies with 21 card counting, and they are all full of loopholes. Movies like "The Hangover" and movies like "Rain Man" don't have teamwork and never change tables...... It's impossible to win money that way!

MIT-21-TEAM has so far perfectly demonstrated card counting and how the MIT group makes money. It turns out that this is card counting, the real card counting!

Evelyn wiped the fine sweat from her forehead due to excitement, and sighed: "Genius, genius......! It's so cool!" Kelly also nodded and sighed, "Cool!"

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Nancy excitedly pulled her bucket hat, not only admiring the MIT group, but also admiring the magic Young, starting with Rachel McAdams's appearance, they came to Las Vegas, and sure enough, everything changed! The colors of the picture are bright, and the camera is cut and changed...... It feels like a different movie, or this is what it really is, a cult film with a mix of MTV styles.

What makes her feel even more powerful is that the movie does not simply deal with the team, the table, and lives up to the previous psychological expectations, which is really amazing if it is put together with the previous gambling films! gestures, code words, team skills, mathematical theories...... There is no doubt that Jeff Ma plays a table with the most professional details, and the exquisite editing is a delight to the eye.

Nancy also probably knows why she thinks it's cool, the beautiful camera shooting of the gaming table is a reason, and more importantly, it's real, real is cool, so it's the coolest to fully restore the truth!

Why do you laugh when you watch the movie? She went to USC to study and studied systematically, and then she understood more profoundly. One of the main reasons why humans laugh at certain things is because of a sense of superiority, which cannot be said to be ridiculed, but a sense of superiority can make people feel more intelligent than others. For example, in "The Hangover", when you see those people doing stupid things and saying stupid things, behaving absurdly and weirdly, the audience will have a sense of superiority, laugh, and have fun.

So why do you shout cool? It's the opposite, and there's no sense of superiority. When you see someone do something amazing that you can't do on your own, and you are convinced, and you want to have those abilities and experiences, you will say cool! Amazing, unbelievable...... Now almost 100% of the card counting is shown on the big screen, although many people must not understand it, and she is like this, but she already has such a psychological feeling: "How do those people's heads grow?

This on-screen persuasiveness, which is so strong that there is not a hint of doubt, stems from the fact that the film is based on a true story, and these absolutely clear and rich professional details...... So that sense of realism and coolness came to mind. However, Nancy thinks that there should be more than that, this is not the most important table plot, otherwise it will be too enjoyable, and Marvelous Young said "It's very enjoyable!"

"Jan, Jeff, are they really that good?" Jessica's blinking eyes were full of disbelief, remembering a lot of code gestures, super fast mental arithmetic speed, and different aspects such as points, 10 cards, ace cards, etc...... Seeing Wang Yang smiled and nodded: "The technology is real, their highest record is to win more than 90 and close to 1 million in one night." Jessica couldn't help but exclaim, "I can't believe it!"

Natalie over there let out a few weird laughs, according to the script's story, the best is yet to come! Hearing this strange laughter, Rachel turned her head to look at Natalie, and immediately laughed too, it was their turn to be cool.

The mystery of card counting has been completely revealed, so what will be the next thing to see? This question exists in the minds of many film critics, although the "Los Angeles Times" Betsy Shaji watched it very devotedly, and her expectations were not disappointed, but the film critic's sense of smell made her aware of this, even if the gambling table and card counting are professional, they still need a plot story that attracts people to continue watching! And the movie still has more than one hour.

The answer was given on the big screen, and the turnaround wits of the MIT21 group and the casino became the theme. While the team gets Jeff Ma, an Intel chip, and goes to Las Vegas every weekend to sweep the casinos, the female detective Beverly plays more roles in the upside-down structure, as she searches for clues, investigates and deduces, and gets closer to her target little by little.

And the casino, because it got the information that "they are likely to be students", kept a close eye on suspicious young people, and the MIT group that won big money also attracted the attention of the conservative team.

"Ma'am, ma'am, please stop...... I already know, it's you!" In the gloomy casino on the screen, the burly security supervisor led the man to intercept the big player with a bag of chips, Natalie, with her long brown hair, heavy black eyeshadow and long eyelashes, and said in French in confusion: "De-quoi-tuparles?Quest-ce-qui-me-retient!"

During the quick camera transition, Wu Yanzu, Jay Baruchel, Alexis, Mok Wenwei and several others in different positions were also puzzled, or pretending to be foreigners with confidence, or pretending to be honest with a little fear.

Looking at the subtitle translation and their cunning, the audience in the screening room all had a playful smile on their faces, and immediately burst into another chuckle.

I saw that Natalie, who was surrounded by the most security guards in the picture, looked very angry, pointed at the security guards, and scolded a long list of English and French mixtures: "Casino-est-la-fa?on-de-traiter-vos-clients-ne!?Baffling!Stupid!Simplement-trop-brutal...... (Is this how you casinos treat their guests?inexplicably, stupidly, and simply rude!)"

The scolded security supervisor's expression gradually became uncertain, and he couldn't understand French, and finally apologized: "Sorry, ma'am, we bothered you! Natalie was unforgiving, and continued to scold angrily: "Stupid!Crétin!Stupid!" Many fans under the screen couldn't help muttering: "This girl, cool ——!"

Several different male voices "Sorry, sorry to disturb!" sounded at the same time, and suddenly the rock song of "Ding! Knock Knock" sounded, it was AC/DC's ".T.", in the picture, Alexis, who had been dazed and frightened, raised his footsteps, and a playful smile appeared in a close-up of his face;

"See-me-ride-out-of-the-sunset......" accompanied by the gradually popular song, MIT group members calmly changed chips under the slow motion editing, calmly smiled and left, met one by one in the corridor and outside the hotel, got into the open-top sports car, and in the song of ".t-and-ill-in-the-fight", the normal camera speed was restored, the sports car sped by on the road, Jay Baruchel drove the car, Wu Yanzu and others changed their clothes and wigs...... Run to the next casino!

It's so enjoyable! The audience in the 3,354 theaters was a little excited, and some people couldn't help but want to whistle a few times, these geniuses are too arrogant and too handsome! Claire clenched her fists and kept saying "Cool, cool!" She just wanted to see these people play in Las Vegas! Take Las Vegas!

It's such a blood-boiling, fulfilling, perfectly combined soundtrack and footage!

Nancy took a deep breath, and many film critics also took a breath, this feeling of conquering the casino made them want not to be excited, but found it a little difficult, and could only sigh that the magic Yang really dared to play and really mobilized emotions! The previous performance of the MIT team during the summer vacation, the crazy sweep of the casino "Shoot-you!" was already addictive, and now after playing with the casino security guards, there is another feeling.

But then the excitement of the audience gradually eased, because the plot and scene returned to Boston, showing the busy life of the MIT group "on both sides", winning big money in Las Vegas on the weekend, and there was a calculus exam on Monday morning! On the big screen, the dusty Jeff Ma was flying in the classroom, yawning and doing the test paper smoothly from time to time, and Wang Yang's cameo classmate appeared again, pressing the ballpoint pen and staring at the test paper with an uncomfortable face.

"Wow, SO-COOL!" Evelyn said with a red heart on her face and a fascinated look in her eyes: "Wouldn't it be more handsome for Marvel Young to play Jeff-Horse?" Kelly shrugged next to her and said, "I have no opinion, does Marvel Young know how to play so much?" now this ......" She thought for a while before saying, "I think this Daniel is playing very well now." ”

The story on the big screen continues, and the MIT team is fully aware of the change in the attitude of the casino, and also guesses that someone is tracking them, discussing countermeasures, and continues to slyly fight against Las Vegas, including what is not in reality, and after the adaptation, the group gathered dozens of strippers to exchange chips in order to hide people's eyes and ears, etc.

On the other hand, the female detective is also approaching step by step, and finally staged a chase scene where only the back is seen. The nearly caught-footed, proud MIT group teases their pursuers: "We'll give him something fun!"

In the bright daytime, Rachel, who was wearing a detective-style coat, followed the clues of the note and came here, and just as she walked towards the feature "Big Rock", suddenly three black balls appeared not far from the ground around her, surrounding her in a triangle, and quickly swelled more and more...... Rachel suddenly wanted to retreat in confusion, but before she could run away, the three black balls that had swelled to a huge size exploded with a "burst", and the playing cards in the sky were flying! Under the slow motion, it seemed to be raining and falling in all directions, and the cards completely surrounded the female detective.

The word "cool!" was once again uttered by the audience in more than 3,000 theaters, and Claire, who was laughing with her mouth open, couldn't remember how many times she said it tonight, fifty times, a hundred times?

Many film critics have thought of this evaluation, "San Francisco Chronicle" Walter Edigo looked at this beautiful slow-motion picture on the screen, and felt expected and surprised, whether it is the characters and plot in the movie, or the team led by the director behind the film, the lines, shots, editing, and soundtrack...... Walter Edigo thought, I'm afraid he will also write a COOL in the movie review.

Rachel on the big screen reached out and grabbed an oncoming card, she flipped it over and looked, the Queen of Spades. The playing cards all over the sky fell to the ground, Rachel, who knew that she had been played, smiled faintly, and was about to turn away, but she suddenly frowned suspiciously, and then looked at the Spade Q in her hand that had not been thrown away, and the camera followed her looking down to focus on a few doll cards on the ground, and then aimed at one of the Spades.

The pattern of the two queens of spades is different! The audience knows that this is bad, the MIT group may be smart but mistaken by cleverness! I saw Rachel's eyes look around, scanning the KQJA on the ground one after another, basically there are two styles of cards, one is a large number and one is very little, a large number of Las Vegas, the most common style brands in the West, and very few of them...... The camera grows larger and smaller as Rachel's eyes catch on the very small Queens of Spades in her hands, and they grow smaller and smaller until they occupy the entire screen, and the environment in which the female detective is located has changed to being in front of the computer in the office, she looks at the exact same Queens of Spades displayed on the screen, and laughs softly: "Boston." ”

Unbeknownst to the MIT team, the female detective came to Boston and targeted the Massachusetts Institute of Technology first, on the road to the campus, the white snowflakes in the sky fluttered and fell, the dim street lamps reflected a quiet winter night, Rachel in a white coat and Natalie in a black coat passed up and down.

"Oh. Seeing this scene, the audience was a little nervous, and the delicate people felt more, they had never met before, and now they met......! The moment when the two of them missed the moment in the picture, I don't know if the camera slowed down, or their pace slowed down, and the atmosphere felt a little frozen...... The eyes of the two make people feel as if the cat has exploded, and it seems that the old friends who have known each other for a long time have reunited after a long absence.

Looking at these two close-ups, and then the side shots, the snowflakes are still fluttering and the two women are getting farther and farther away, Nancy can't help but secretly applaud, not only this picture, but the whole movie is now coming to an end, and there are many very special, very beautiful and beautiful storyboards...... It's very different from the hot rock casino atmosphere, but it makes people feel very comfortable and evocative, and she has an immersive feeling.

Although they had known for a long time that the MIT team would eventually be caught and blacklisted in the casino, and then the audience was still depressed when they saw the female detective follow the vine and find out all the way to investigate, and finally in another operation of the MIT team, they led the security team to catch this group of unbeatable geniuses.

Sometimes the biggest enemy is oneself, and sometimes the flaws are inadvertently formed, when they stuff the practice cards they brought from Boston into the balloons.

"It's game over. Rachel walked slowly up from the way the security guards got out of the way, looking at the MIT group across from her with a smile on her lips, her eyes full of victory.

The MIT group members had different expressions, and Alexis said angrily, "Are you a superhero? The casino is not God, it is not a natural way to make money, we just use legal means to make money from them!" She mocked: "You help the casino, you are only helping an evil devil!"

"Excuse me?" Rachel tilted her ears blankly, and a wicked smile appeared on her face that made most of the audience want to beat her up, and the devil was slightly hideous. Evelyn shivered in front of the screen, and her heart suddenly blocked as uncomfortable. I saw Rachel tilt her head slightly in a funny voice, and laughed fiercely: "What's the matter with me? Let those idiots who want to get rich overnight die, let them go! ”

"But I'm not interested in any of that, all I'm interested in is catching you guys. ”

"Game over. Just as Wu Yanzu next to her was about to say something, Natalie suddenly smiled chicly, she ignored the female detective, lifted a large bag full of chips in her hand, looked at the fierce security director, and asked, "By the way, these chips can still be exchanged?"

Is this the end of the MIT-21-TEAM saga? The audience standing in the MIT camp was a little unwilling, Claire and Adam both shook their heads and sighed, and discussed it: "It's a pity. The surrounding audience also sighed.

But the MIT members on the screen said that maybe there might be another chance! Listening to their laughter, the audience immediately lifted their spirits, it turned out that the headshots of Jeff Ma and others were all disguised, but their true faces were not used!

At that time, the face recognition system was still limited to research, ARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and ARL had just established the FERET database for testing, and it was only after 2000 that the face recognition algorithm gradually matured and a commercial face recognition system appeared. So at that time, casinos only had monitors and headstaps, relying on alarms for the amount of cash lost at the table, and then manually identifying, and then driving the card counters out.

In reality, after Ma Kaiwen and others were caught for the first time, they were active for a few more years, until the late 90s, they were so familiar that even small casinos regarded them as "guests", and the MIT21 group was disbanded.

In the on-screen story, the female detective is clever but mistaken by the cleverness, and the ecstatic casino is also negligent, and an oversight can make the MIT team caught, or the casinos can have a complete hemorrhage.

With a bang, the door opened.

In the gradually passionate soundtrack, at night, on the driveway outside the Caesars Palace Hotel, Wu Yanzu, who was wearing a black suit, and Natalie, who was also in a black women's suit and wearing sunglasses, stepped down from a black car. In slow motion, Natalie slowly took off her sunglasses, bit the orange foot, and smiled evilly: "Let's make something fun!" Wu Yanzu laughed softly: "inner-inner, Chicken-dinner." ”

The two walked towards the hotel door with a reckless pace, Wu Yanzu with one hand in his trouser pocket, Natalie smiled and bit her sunglasses, raised her hand and made a gesture of shooting at the hotel...... The car that followed behind stopped, opened the door, and Alexis and Jay Baruchel, who were also without makeup, stepped out of the car...... Listen to heart-pumping music and watch MIT members in slow motion, or get out of the car or walk into the hotel...... The audience couldn't help but feel excited and their hearts raced!

"Cool ——!" Claire was so excited that she bit her lip and shot a few times at the screen, realizing that a real sweep was about to come!

The breathing of the surrounding audience is also getting heavier, and the emotions that have accumulated all night are about to explode!

It's slow motion again! Nancy suddenly smiled, this movie sees that now, slow motion and long shots are used a lot, but this kind of shot is really great! I know that this is a cool and handsome game, but she is willing to be fooled, it is so cool and arrogant! Sure enough, slow motion is cool...... There are only ten minutes left in the movie, and there is no doubt that what will happen next is the most important and important game table plot in the whole movie, she thought...... Amazing Jan said, "It's very enjoyable!"

(To be continued)
