Zeng Jiang left Huaxia early after filming a few episodes, and before leaving, Wang Jie told him that he was free for the New Year's Eve and handed him a script in private. Zeng Jiang immediately understood, Wang Jie told him more than once that he would open a movie for him to win the award, Zeng Jiang thought that Wang Jie was busy and forgot, but he didn't expect to finally wait for this opportunity, which made Zeng Jiang, an old actor, really grateful.

It's another year of Christmas, this Christmas, Wang Jie's family has a new member, Zhang Yanyu, surrounded by Yingying Yanyan, Wang Jie feels that emperors have been like this since ancient times.

After Christmas, Wang Jie accepted two more apprentices, namely Li Ying, Li Ying's younger brother, and Lucadotti, the youngest son of Audrey Hepburn, but the two were only Wang Jie's registered disciples. In addition to the different things that are taught, the personal disciples, the disciples and the registered disciples are not the same, the luck of the people who occupy the teacher is also different. The personal disciples will be connected to the Master's one-tenth and two-hundredths of the Master's luck, and the disciples will be connected to the Master's one-twelfth percent of the luck, but the named disciples will only be connected to the Master's one-thousandth of the luck. The reason why Wang Jie accepted Li Lianjie and Wu Jing as disciples is that in addition to being optimistic about their talents, it has a lot to do with their luck, like Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong, Cheng Long and Zeng Jiang. Disciples can't be indiscriminately accepted, otherwise they will be ruined by the luck of the teacher, Li Ying and Lucadotti themselves don't have much luck, if it weren't for the fact that their closest relatives are Wang Jie's women, and Wang Jie can't stand the pillow wind, he won't accept the two as apprentices, so Wang Jie only let them be named disciples, and as for the exercises that are transmitted, they are only two sets of Baguazhang and Wing Chun.

In mid-January, Wang Jie assigned Yulia Vladimirovna Tymoshenko and the housekeeper Jim Sr. to start withdrawing funds, and at the same time releasing some less important stocks, such as Nike, Sony, Toyota and other companies, Wang Jie was ready to prepare a large amount of cash for this opportunity in October.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, January 22, 1987, Wang Jie and all his family came to Xiangjiang, in addition to preparing for the Spring Festival on Hong Kong Island, and also to participate in the premiere of "God of Gamblers" by the way.

On January 24, "God of Gamblers" was released in DreamWorks theaters.

On the screen is a few seconds of aerial footage of Las Vegas, which was taken by Wang Jie's Industrial Light & Magic.

The next shot cuts straight to the casino, where a bunch of old outsiders watch the game around the table, and the center of the game is clearly an Asian.

In fact, this set of shots was taken in Macau's He Gambling Wangjia Casino, and those foreigners are also ghosts in Macau and Hong Kong.

At the premiere in Xiangjiang, a ghost guy said to his female companion, "See, Darling? ”

"Stud!" "Stud!" Zhou Runfa pinched the ring on his tail finger on the screen, pushed out the chips with one hand in a very chic manner, and soon won a bunch of money back.

As the personnel in the monitoring room found Gao Jin's information and read out the word "God of Gamblers", Zhou Yunfa on the screen looked back at the camera and smiled while chewing chocolate, and the title "God of Gamblers" also popped up from the screen.

"Wow, Zhou Runfa is so stylish!" The audience watching the film in the DreamWorks theater praised.

"Fuck, pheasant, you see that's the big guy!" watched until Ryugo appeared, and a gang member in a theater in DreamWorks Cinemas suddenly stood up excitedly.

"It's really Xiang Boss, that's cool!" the other guy exclaimed.

The picture has arrived in Tokyo in a blink of an eye, and Wang Jie's script has made a lot of changes here, adding a lot of dazzling gambling skills, which makes "God of Gamblers" in this time and space more realistic and gorgeous than the original. The wisdom, skill and superb gambling skills shown by Gao Jin and RB people when they gambled made the audience stunned.

It's not without movies about gambling and cheating, like Li Hanxiang filmed "Deception Strange Tales" many years ago, and Xu Guanwen's "Ghost Horse Double Star" is also about two old people. But these have not been in-depth for specific gambling techniques, and Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers" has the support of DreamWorks' special effects department, and uses a lot of fast and slow shots and close-ups in the details of gambling, and the techniques are simply amazing.

No matter in any theater in DreamWorks Cinemas, there are not many people talking to the movie, all staring intently at the screen.

In the end, Gao Jin competed with the woman of the island country to match the dice, and the one with the smallest shake won.

At this time, the woman of the island country shook out six ones. Due to the atmosphere in front of them, the audience held their breath at this time, staring at Gao Jin's hand shaking the dice cup, nervously guessing how he could win. Because Gao Jin said that if the tie counts as a loss, he can never shake five points from six dice.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little stronger. Gao Jin opened the dice cup, and one of the dice had been broken, and sure enough, it was five o'clock.

"Wow, that's okay too. ”

"It's so strong!"

“……”

As the gambling game ended, the audience also came back to their senses and made comments one after another.

After the movie was screened to Gao Jin's amnesia, various funny scenes emerged one after another, making the audience laugh. At the same time, Zhou Yunfa's amazing acting skills have finally attracted attention.

How did the shrewd expression with a smirk on his face and his eyes come about? This amazed many people in the industry who watched the movie.

Compared with the original version, Wang Jie did not make any changes to the main plot of the script of "God of Gamblers", but in terms of details and the use of lenses, Wang Jie asked Wang Jing in the script to be more gorgeous and bright when shooting.

Gao Jin's wisdom and grace, Daozai's liveliness, naughtiness and cleverness, Long Wu's coldness, heartfelt and extraordinary skills, Gao Yi brutal, ruthless and unscrupulous, all with distinctive characteristics, and eye-catching shapes, coupled with the support of several beauties, simply let the audience enjoy a hearty visual feast. This is because Liu Dehua was filming "The Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full That Year" with Wang Jie during the filming of "God of Gamblers", and the actor of Daozi became Liang Chaowei.

Until the final battle, Gao Jin cleverly calculated and won the gambling game, and killed his cousin Gao Yi who betrayed him by the hand of the opponent Singapore gambling king, and the Singapore gambling king was also arrested for murder, which can be described as a complete victory. There was a cheer at the premiere.

The premiere was undoubtedly a success, and the audience that came out of the screening room, including Zhou Yunfa's fans, was happily talking about the plot just now.

In particular, some people who are addicted to gambling worship and envy the wonderful gambling skills in the film, thinking that if they know how to do both, won't they have no worries about money in the future?

In the following days, the premiere of "God of Gamblers" was reported by entertainment media in many parts of Asia, and the vast majority of them gave the film a positive and high praise.

A film critic in Ming Pao Weekly wrote: "First of all, I have to admit that this is a completely commercial film, and bad gambling is not good, and I hope no one will go on the road of gambling because of watching this film......

Although there is also kung fu and gunfights in "God of Gamblers", its main line is gambling. Li Hanxiang's "Deception Story" opened the deception genre of movies, and Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers" is also very exciting, presumably in the next period of time, I am afraid that many directors from Bay Island and Xiangjiang will join the ranks of shooting gambling films.

With all that gossip, let's talk about the film itself. First of all, it is a breakthrough in terms of subject matter, whether it is "Deception Story" or "Ghost Horse Double Star", the focus of these two movies is on Lao Qian's deception, but Wang Jie's script has a different way, putting the gambling skills that were originally despised in the market on the table. After watching "God of Gamblers", I admit that I was shocked by the amazing gambling skills inside, and even had a little itchy hands at one point, and wanted to go to the casino to experience it.

However, the original intention of "God of Gamblers" is obviously not to instigate people to enter the casino. Just like in "Ghost Horse Double Star", Xu Guanwen didn't ask people to be the old man, he let the liar Qianlai get all the money when he solved it, which illustrates a truth that you get for nothing and evil is rewarded.

The argument of "God of Gamblers" is obviously a step higher than that of "Ghost Horse Double Star". Gao Jin is known as the God of Gambling, not only because of his superb gambling skills, but also because of his noble character, and at the same time he has his own principles. He is willing to help the RB people avenge the danger regardless of the danger, which is called chivalry, and he can win back the lost money for his friends, and at the same time throw hundreds of thousands of dollars to the people who win the money, which is called favor and rules. Wang Jing filmed these two plots at the beginning of the movie, not for nothing, he just wants to tell the audience that Gao Jin is a person with superb gambling skills, and at the same time has a chivalrous heart, a human touch, and abides by the rules of the road......

Bay Island's Impact magazine takes a different approach to the film: the director is like a master cook, putting in as much oil and salt as he puts in order to cook delicious food. And many of our directors are crappy chefs, looking back at the movies released on our Bay Island last year, most of them are filmed, I'm afraid the directors themselves don't know what they want to express, just to watch the excitement and attract the audience to dig out their wallets. Artistic, sorry, no, the whole film has no idea at all, commercial, sorry, no, they don't know where to really capture the audience's heart, but follow the trend to capture the audience's eyeballs.

It's easy to catch the eyeballs, and you're running naked on the streets, guaranteeing a lot of people to watch you. But to capture people's hearts, then you have to have real kung fu, first of all, you have to be sincere, even if you deceive other people's hearts, you have to spend effort on deception.

A director who will only catch the audience's attention will not be able to do it for a long time after all, if you run naked, someone will watch you, but if you run naked every day, people will only laugh at your neuropathy and laugh it off. It's like your movie can trick the audience into paying out of pocket once, but again, the audience won't buy your account.

In "God of Gamblers", artistry accounts for a very small proportion of the plot, nothing more than friendship, love and the like. However, in the use of movie screens, this time director Wang Jing is very attentive, some casinos are obviously very common people and common actions, expressions, after Wang Jing's artistic processing, they can be nervous and attractive to the atmosphere. Throughout the movie, there is an inexplicable tension in every picture, and Wang Jing's control of the movie has almost reached the level of a master.

As for the commerciality of "God of Gamblers", I may no longer need to analyze it, and there are undisguised commercial elements everywhere from beginning to end. I heard that DreamWorks Pictures also brought in tens of millions of sponsorship fees before filming, and to earn this money, you only need to expose a few trademarks or products in the movie. I think some of our directors can't learn how to use commercial elements in a big way without annoying people, but I'm afraid they will learn this point very quickly!"

Except for a few media who scolded "God of Gamblers" for teaching people to gamble, most of the media praised the film, which made fans who did not have the opportunity to attend the premiere feel itchy.

As soon as the film was released, it immediately caused a sensation, and "God of Gamblers" was too fresh and beautiful for the audience.

Then a strange phenomenon appeared, there were more people carrying playing cards on the street, and if there was nothing to do, you could see a few half-grown young people in the alley tossing and turning the cards there, and then picking them up and continuing to practice.

The happiest thing is the company's factory that makes gambling equipment such as cards and dice, as soon as "God of Gamblers" came out, their product sales suddenly increased greatly, and they almost didn't put the photo of Zhou Runfa in the workshop as the God of Wealth.

What is a phenomenal movie?

In addition to these factories, casinos and some small gambling houses are also doing well. In Macau, this "God of Gamblers" was even fuller, some people wore red underwear and underwear to watch the movie, and after watching it, they said "God of Gamblers bless", and then ran directly to the casino.

In any case, "God of Gamblers" has achieved unprecedented results.
