"Why do you want to do that?" On the big screen of 3354 theaters is a small classroom, Wu Yanzu, who is dressed in ordinary winter clothes, has a puzzled expression, and between the camera cuts, I saw the MIT team members smiling or playing with playing cards, Natalie's tone was light, but she exuded a strong confidence like nothing: "Because we can." ”

After the opening scene of a bar Q&A that left fans and viewers distracted for a second and almost suffocated, the film is not wordy, accompanied by brisk country music, Jeff Horse drives his bicycle along the banks of the beautiful Charles River, arrives at the MIT campus and parks his car, and the camera shows him walking briskly to the McLaughlin Building on the expansive "Killian Yard" lawn, and the screen is filled with MIT's university atmosphere.

"My name is Jeff Ma, an MIT econometrics student ......" Wu Yanzu's voiceover narrator quickly introduced a few sentences, and on the screen, he asked a question about a classmate's class room, showing some MIT details that made many viewers a little surprised, is it true that the Ivy League is a bunch of geniuses? Soon on the screen, Wu Yanzu was taken to the 21 o'clock club by Jay Baruchel.

In the classroom, Natalie and others introduced 21 points clearly, and invited Jeff Ma to join, but he curiously asked the specific principle of card counting, the MIT team said without reservation, and Natalie finally laughed and said: "Without a team, card counting is nothing." So Wu Yanzu asked why, and after she said "because we can", she seemed to be agitated and contemptuous: "You can too, or not." ”

There was silence in the dimly lit screening room, and everyone in the audience who had been waiting for the card counting for a long time was engrossed, barely blinking at the screen, because they found that if they were not careful, they would seem to miss a lot.

Claire was so busy that she didn't even have time to grab popcorn, and as she listened to the principles, her brain felt like it was running at high speed with excitement, popping up one plus or minus symbol after another, what Stanford Wang, Edward Thorpe, +1 point, high and low method...... She said, "Adam. Adam, who was sitting next to her, picked up a few sticks of popcorn and handed them to her mouth, Claire ate them, looked at Natalie on the screen, and said vaguely: "Because we can ......"

At the Caesars Palace Theater, the film critics also maintained a high level of interest, and they were a little surprised that the magic of Jan really seemed to have become a chatter! He spent a lot of time talking about these card counting, from the historical origin to the principle of card counting, but it was in line with what he said, "This is professional and operable." "And the previous card-counting movies and gambling movies were all brought by a few strokes.

Isn't it wordy? It doesn't seem to make people feel wordy, and when I stop and think about it, I realize that I have talked so much.

The Los Angeles Times columnist Betsy Shaji felt more and more interested, everything on the screen seemed so believable and genius, which was created by the character's temperament, exquisite lines, that large number of lines with quick camera editing and character switching, everyone in the scene was taken care of and played, and there was humor from time to time, which is probably why it is not wordy...... But no one realized that a storm was coming.

Only Wang Yang, Margaret, Valley Pfister and other post-production creators, as well as the leading actors who participated in the filming, guessed the next scene. Wu Yanzu, who was looking at the screen, smiled slightly, this was his performance during the audition; Natalie glanced at Wang Yang next to him, and vaguely heard his voice: "I want to create a taste!", "Professional, cool!", "We want to make it a gambling film peak that cannot be surpassed!"

She now understands what he means, this is a confident way of telling stories, without fear, counting cards is counting cards......! She suddenly smiled: "Impact." ”

"A deck of cards 52, 10 cards 16 cards, three decks of cards 156 cards......" Wu Yanzu standing on the big screen with a expressionless face, happy to be stimulated to show his talent, bite the words clearly and quickly speak, the principle of card counting they just said systematically summed up: "10 cards 48; six decks of cards 312 cards, 10 cards 96 cards; the initial ratio is 4/13, the probability of the next round of 10 cards is 0.307692, the dealer has the advantage." ”

"The probability of each 10 cards is reduced by 0.019230, and the opposite increases, when the probability increases to 3.666666......" The close-up lens began to rotate and expand, from Wu Yanzu's face to behind him, from the close-up to the picture Natalie and others' slightly stunned expressions, Wu Yanzu said six SIX in a row, and said repeatedly: "The player has the advantage." Count 10 methods, Got-it (understood). ”

"Bet B(i) differently with different probability of winning P(i) and the sum of the total probability of winning ΣP(i) is less than 1/2. But as long as the large B(i) is when P(i) is large, and the small B(i) is small when P(i) is small, the total return ΣR(i)P(i) is greater than ΣB(i), Got-it. ”

"2, 3, 4, 5, 6 plus 1 point, 7, 8, 9 plus 0 points, 10, J, Q, K, A minus 1 point. At 0 o'clock, the dealer has a 0.5% advantage, at 1 o'clock everyone is even, at 2 the player has a 0.5% advantage, and at 7 the player has a 3% advantage. Wu Yanzu, who barely needed to breathe, paused for half a second, showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "High and low method, I-got-it (I understand)." ”

Alexis in the picture screamed, Jay Barucher followed suit, Nick Canon MAN, and Natalie spread her hands: "What happened?" Wu Yanzu smiled: "Can I?"

Everyone in the screening hall was caught off guard, and they listened to a lot of it in less than two minutes, and they didn't even have time to get excited at first, but slowly felt so smart! Everyone around them was a little whispered and soft, and that feeling was like encountering something that made people's hearts flutter, a big beauty or a love letter from the year, an amazing feeling! They all unconsciously adjusted their sitting posture or expressed their emotions with a sigh, so handsome!

"Whew......" Evelyn exhaled a long breath, as if Jeff-Ma's words were coming out of her mouth just now, and she said to herself: "I know why I can't get into MIT, how can I ......" Kelly next to her also sighed: "Genius." ”

Critics at Caesars Palace Theatre also found the way the film presented its story more and more interesting. In the front row of the audience, Wang Yang was slapped on the shoulder by Natalie, and she laughed and praised: "Genius!" Even people like her who were ridiculed by Jeff Ma were excited, but what about the others?

"Thank you. Wang Yang smiled and nodded, this section of the art director thought about using special effects, so that the picture added some digital symbols and the like, but he did not adopt it in order to make the atmosphere more real, it seems that his aesthetic is not shrimp worm people, this is just the beginning, Las Vegas is the place to enjoy.

Jeff Ma quickly learned the principle of card counting, the despised MIT group leisurely played cards with him experiments, and also came to the first table plot of the movie, the first three decks of cards let the audience see the simple practical application of addition and subtraction, high and low methods, and also saw that Jeff Ma really learned; the next eight decks of cards, simulating the actual licensing situation of the casino, rookie Jeff Ma naturally failed.

"If you play in a casino like you just did, and always bet big with a high probability of a high point, and don't play with a low probability of a low point, why not just take a loudspeaker and shout 'I'm here to count cards?' Maybe the casino will think you're an idiot and not pay attention to your anomaly." "You still have to learn!", "I joined, I can play!", "Card counting is like a sophisticated machine, in addition to counting points, each of us has different skills, card counter knows how to cut cards, reverse shuffle, game controller knows how to track A card...... Big players know everything, I want you to be a big player......!" Then came Jeff Ma's learning phase, with details and quick shots, narration and dialogue, where he practiced in club classrooms, in class, at home...... It's also getting more and more involved with the members of the MIT team.

And there is always a line interspersed that makes people excited and high-spirited, and the audience feels that they are also learning card counting, and many people even feel that they have almost learned it, and they will wait until Las Vegas shows their skills!

Except for a few people who thought the process was too slow, watching Wang Yang's cameo on the screen, an MIT student in a classroom asked Jeff Ma a stupid question, "Do you need to bring playing cards to today's class?" Betsy Shagi and other film critics secretly praised, not praising how well he played this trick, but the nearly half-hour start, so far, their two thumbs are cocked high: "Amazing Yang completely grasps and controls the psychology of watching the movie!"

The constant excitement and anticipation make people watch it with great interest and don't want to miss a shot, this is a successful commercial film, a successful movie.

Jeff Ma on the big screen has finally finished his studies, and the MIT team thinks he can get to the official table, but before he can go to Las Vegas, he needs to complete a trial and participate in a group operation at an underground casino, which is actually the final test. Now Rima Kevin has not experienced this test, and it is a fictional plot in which Ben Mozridge is present.

"inner-inner, Chicken-dinner!" is a bit of a miasma of smoke, as gamblers come and go in the dimly lit underground casinos of backward neighborhoods.

Wu Yanzu sat at the table with a confident face, next to Alexis, the controller with a calm expression, the two had won a lot of chips with their cooperation, and at this time the dealer exploded again: "The player wins!" Wu Yanzu suddenly said a little excitedly, and a new game immediately started on the table, and he chuckled and said: "inner-inner, Chicken-dinner." ”

He was suddenly covered with a burlap bag, and his hands were also restrained by the two people who could only see his body in the picture, one left and one right, and dragged him backwards; Wu Yanzu struggled vigorously and roared. The audience who has read the original book or not was taken aback, and was enjoying the thrill of winning money by counting cards, and suddenly ...... Evelyn's heart tightened, and she screamed in response: "Ahh

Although the surrounding audience was also frightened, it didn't need to be the same as watching a horror movie, right? Several people booed dissatisfiedly, and Kelly covered her forehead: "Sure enough, something happened." ”

"Boy, dare to play card counting with me!?Are you tired of living?" The next shot is in a small room, with a rough and vicious voice, Wu Yanzu was pressed by the two people on a chair and sat down, he no longer resisted, and said very calmly: "I know it's you, right? There are too many flaws in all this, you don't need to change your voice accent, Amanda, I know it's you." ”

With another bang, Wu Yanzu's sack hood was taken away, and sure enough, I saw Jay Baruchel and Nick Canon grabbing him, and Natalie, Alexis and other three girls stood in front, and Natalie with a smile on her face looked very satisfied: "Don't be afraid of danger, GOOD, I didn't lose my mind and judgment because of the emergency, GOOD......" She suddenly asked: "How much was the gaming table just now!?"

"Add 16 points. Wu Yanzu said coldly, and under Natalie's happy smile, he twisted his shoulders and stood up, and said loudly with anger: "What are you kidding!?" Alexis said with a comforting smile: "Jeff, you have no reason to be angry, I was scared and cried at that time." Jay Baruchel and several others raised their eyebrows and shrugged their shoulders, looking "not my idea".

"Hmm......mm

Looking at the smiling face on the screen, fans and viewers who love "Juno" instantly understood that evil! is completely different from Juno, a high school girl with sharp teeth and a hard mouth and a soft heart, this is a talented college student who is both crazy and calm, and seems to be devastating...... Claire really wanted to try to imitate the weird laugh just now, but because she was in the theater, she was not so presumptuous at her age.

She shouted OO in her heart, and sure enough, in the movie of Wonder Young, Natalie will be very cool, cool to the bone! There are Juno and Amanda...... Compared to the wooden queen in "Star Wars Prequel", this is simply unique and fantastic!

"Let's go to Vegas and make a lot of money!" On the big screen, Natalie stretched out her palm and patted Wu Yanzu's shoulder, and walked to the outside of the small utility room with a smile. The camera quickly switches to the front of the panorama, shooting Wu Yanzu, Alexis and other MIT team members with different expressions into the frame, and then switches to the back of Natalie leaving, and she lets out a funny and weird laugh.

"Yo-hoo. Natalie laughed softly on the screen, there was nothing cool on the set, for these laughs, she NG many times, no matter how she laughed, she was not satisfied with the director, and finally said that she had to go crazy to come out. At this time, Wang Yang next to him smiled: "Good smile." ”

The camera finally returned to the front of the panorama, and everyone looked helpless or expressionless about the captain, only Alexis smiled: "She has no malicious intentions." There was a louder laugh from the corridor outside: "Wow......aa" Wu Yanzu shrugged his shoulders, and Alexis nodded in agreement: "Yes, I know." ”

More than 3,000 theaters in North America had a rare soft laugh tonight, with the same Las Vegas theme, "The Hangover" made people laugh until they had convulsions and rolled to the ground, and "21" had humor but not hilarious, but the audience watched it more attentively and attentively.

"Oh my God, my Ali......" Joshua took a deep breath, so cute!

It's not that he's partial, the critics in the theater are secretly praising the acting performance of everyone on the screen, and the film critic of "The Hollywood Reporter" Kirk Honeycutt has decided to express his praise when writing the script, these actors, as well as the director Magic Young, he fully excavated and made good use of the temperament of each leading actor, and gave people a refreshing feeling, such as Natalie Portman, whose current level of interpretation is no worse than Juno...... What did Kirk Honeycarter suddenly remember, what about Rachel McAdams, who hasn't played yet?

There was a sound of footsteps in the screening room of the "Stampede ......" theater, and the big screen screen was suddenly the corridor of a luxury hotel, and under the quick editing switch, the mysterious woman and two security guards walked into the office, and the burly bald head of the security guard said happily: "Miss Kyle, it's nice to see you......"

As the camera slowly rises, the audience has a sense of anticipation to unravel the mystery, even though they know that it must be Rachel McAdams, and sure enough, they see her with a faint smile on her face. "Are you ready for what I want?" and "It's all ready, just put it there." ”…… From Rachel's appearance, the camera editing has become noticeably faster and sharper. Nancy held her chin and vaguely thought of the idea of the magic Yang, in addition to creating an atmosphere, the movie was screened for more than half an hour, and it was about to officially enter the next stage, that is, Las Vegas, where the story is focused. How can you tell the difference between a casino and a boston, how can it look cooler? She wondered if it would be a CULT movie style, an MTV style...... But this half-hour is unique and cool enough, not only the content of the film is cool, but it is clear to someone like her who is studying directing that it is really unprecedented to express this subject matter in this way of storytelling! The content is always learning and seems to be very monotonous, but who cares and deliberately pays attention to the ordinary audience? By the light, Nancy looked at the audience sitting on the left and right, and they all seemed to be enjoying it.

Anyway, her interest has not diminished, but the expectation of actually going to Las Vegas to count cards has been rising, and now her heart is beating faster than usual, which is the beginning of this story.

"Every time these people show up on the weekend, it means they have a regular job, but in recent months, they've suddenly shown up every few days, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday...... These months are summer vacations. Rachel, who had been looking at the file for a while, said about the reconnaissance situation, she put down the document in her hand, and said, "This means that they are most likely teachers, or...... Student. ”

The audience in front of the big screen couldn't help but light up their eyes, they had already seen themselves as a member of the MIT team, and now they were surprised by the enemy female detective who looked very powerful, and naturally they were a little excited, is the female detective talking about the MIT team? This should be a flashback shot, the MIT team captured Las Vegas!

In the on-screen view of the airport, the MIT team is dressed casually, holding their luggage backpacks, preparing to travel to Las Vegas for the first time after Jeff Ma joins the team.
