Chapter 318 Gambling Film Series

"Damn, how did the God of Gamblers do it?"

"It's not handsome to gamble like this."

"Hey, I'm going to find a gambler apprentice!"

"Idiot, this is a movie."

“……”

The movie only opened 20 minutes, and the God of Gamblers came to three gambling scenes, and Zhou Yanfa performed Gao Jin, a brilliant and affectionate God of Gamblers.

A windfall is a potential wish of Hong Kong citizens, otherwise why would casinos, racecourses and lotteries be so prevalent in Hong Kong? After seeing the superb gambling skills of the God of Gambling in the movie, many people are eager to replace him, kill him at the gambling table, and live a life of becoming a CEO and marrying Bai Fumei.

Even Li Jianren, who was sitting in the back row, was so excited that he couldn't help but ask Zhou Xingchi: "Is this script really written by Director Li?" ”

"yes." Zhou Xingchi said without looking back.

Li Jianren rubbed his hands together and asked in a low voice, "Then Director Li can gamble?" Or does he know a master of this art? ”

Zhou Xingchi turned his head at this time, but he didn't answer, but looked at Li Jianren with eyes like an idiot.

“……”

The atmosphere was a little cold, Li Jianren was angry, and said angrily: "What kind of eyes are you?" ”

"Do you really believe it?" Zhou Xingchi immediately had a sense of intellectual superiority, and said with disdain: "If Director Li knew this kind of person, he would have gone to Las Vegas a long time ago, and he could still make movies here." ”

“……”

The two brothers were arguing in the back, but Chen Baisheng was very emotional in the front, but the pen in his hand stopped. This is a commercial blockbuster, so there are not too many wonderful plots described in detail, and Chen Baisheng is also rarely involved in watching the movie.

Before the 70s of the twentieth century, the factor of "gambling" was mostly expressed as a side line in Hong Kong films, telling the tragic plot of a prodigal or lost parent who owed a debt due to gambling, so that he sold his children and daughters, and finally led to the breakdown of the family, but in the end it always returned to the happy ending of family reunion and husband and wife reunion.

For example, from "The Loser" directed by Wu Hui in 1952 to "Auspicious Gambling Square" directed by Zhang Zengze in 1972. There are such tragic plots, which also illustrate people's resistance and rejection of gambling at that time.

And the real first gambling film in the history of Hong Kong films, "The Great Scam of the King of Gamblers", was written by Cheng Xiaodong's father Cheng Gang. It's just that the movie ended up with a mediocre response and didn't cause any sensation.

And then it wasn't until more than three years ago that Wang Jin, a fast gunner, came out of nowhere......

Chen Baisheng couldn't help but smile in a low voice when he thought of this, Wang Jin was also a subordinate of Li Xuan. The fat man is now playing youth comedy, but Li Xuan picked up what the fat man threw down, and he played better than the blue.

I'm afraid, Chen Baisheng sighed secretly, the new gambling trend in the Hong Kong film industry is about to start.

Three years ago, Wang Jin's "King of a Thousand Kings" was born. While achieving a box office hit, it also attracted the attention of a large number of people. So in the following year, various follow-up films followed suit. For a while, many gambling films such as "The King of Gambling Fighting a Thousand Kings", "Eight Generals of a Thousand Doors", "A Thousand Kings of Hooligans", "Thousands of Gambling Kings", "Thousands of Enemies", "A Rotten Out of a Thousand", "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Queens" and many other gambling films have appeared on stage.

But the good times didn't last long. After only a year, the gambling film fell silent again, completely losing its former luster.

Now two or three years have passed in a blink of an eye, but Li Xuan has returned proudly with "God of Gamblers". Bigger stars. A better plot, coupled with more bizarre gambling skills, all of this seems to herald the arrival of a new round of gambling movies.

It seems that the Hong Kong film industry in 84 is expected to be very hot......

"Rub, how did the God of Gamblers become stupid?"

"What next?"

"That Ah Cheng, why do I always feel wrong."

"What Ah Cheng, his name is Gao Yi in this play!"

“……”

A commotion interrupted Chen Baisheng's musings, and also made him refocus his attention on the big screen. But it was the knife boy and the younger brother who set up a trap on the hillside in order to teach a man an Indian who fought with dogs. As a result, the Indians did not learn the lesson, but unexpectedly turned the gambling god Gao Jin into a fool.

Seeing this, Chen Baisheng finally felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Film critics like them. I like to watch the kind of movies that have literary connotation or actors' acting skills. Usually a commercial film is just that, even if you write a film review, you can't save a long draft. But now Zhou Runfa's movie that suddenly changes his acting path, no matter whether he acts well or not, it is enough for them to write several long essays.

Just like after the Christmas file "Hardcover Chasing Girls" came out, it wasn't a film critic who took Zhou Runfa to act in a comedy. For three days in a row, he published a long review in the "Oriental Daily". The first day of scolding, the second day and the third day of praise are to squeeze the reputation value of a movie to the fullest.

Of course, Chen Baisheng is absolutely unwilling to do these things, but it is indeed very much in line with his appetite to see the actors' acting skills.

The movie did not disappoint him in the end, and Zhou Yanfa's acting skills were fully displayed here. Whether it is the cute and cute state of a fool, or the chic and suave when he gambles on the god, he has deduced it superbly. Especially when the knife boy took Gao to gamble with the big fool brother, the conversion between the fool and the gambling god was very natural, and it didn't look pretentious, but it made Chen Baisheng think highly of Zhou Yanfa's acting skills.

As the plot of the movie continues to develop, the anti-bone boy Gao Yi, who feels wrong at the beginning, finally shows his perverted side. The scene of killing his sister-in-law and destroying the corpse made the audience gnash their teeth, and also made the villain Huang Qiusheng more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Li Xuan was thinking about when he would get "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" out, and completely confirmed Huang Qiusheng's 'perverted' face.

"I've long thought this Gao Yi is a bad guy, rub."

"You still need to say, when did he play a good guy?"

"Hit the street, I want to tear him up when this guy plays it."

"Gao Yi, Gao Fart!"

“……”

The audience in the audience has been completely immersed in the scene, staring at the screen without blinking, for fear of missing any ** plot. The movie slowly came to an end, Gao Jin finally won the gamble, and the anti-bone boy Gao Yi was also shot to death by the angry gambling king, such a happy ending made many viewers cheer.

But Li Jianren in the back row of the theater was very puzzled, he glanced at the picture on the screen, turned his head and asked, "No, Ah Xing." This movie is almost over, why hasn't your role come out yet? ”

"Didn't I say it, easter eggs, it must be the last to ......" Stephen Chow said half a sentence indifferently, and suddenly pointed to the big screen and said: "Look at it, it's coming out soon." ”

Li Jianren immediately turned his head to look at the big screen when he heard Zhou Xingchi's words, and sure enough, in addition to a rolling end credits appeared on the blacked screen, there was also a paragraph hovering on it for three or four seconds.

"Don't go away, there's more to it later!"

Chen Baisheng, who had just stood up and was about to leave, like many people, looked at each other with a smile. Then he sat down again. Almost everyone who watched the movie on the spot has experienced the baptism of "Black Man" easter eggs for several years. They were speechless about Li Xuan's bad taste.

The subtitles gradually came to an end. The picture is bright again.

In front of the vending machine at Kowloon Station, a young man in a light-colored suit has a large bag of snakeskin bags at his feet, and his right hand keeps putting coins into the vending machine. But I don't know what happened, and the coins that the young man put in were spit out by the vending machine. But the young people persevered. Picked up the money and threw it into the vending machine.

A middle-aged security guard at a station looked interesting, walked over and took the opportunity to pick up the coin from the spit mouth and laughed: "Ha, big head, use people's name coins to buy soda, you show off?" ”

After the security guard finished speaking, he mockingly threw the coin on the ground, looking like he was superior.

"Comrade, I don't have Hong Kong dollars, and I don't want to ......."

"Who's comrade with you?" The security guard pulled his clothes off his body and continued, "You didn't see me in a uniform. Call me sir. ”

"Well, sir, I've been standing here for hours, and my mouth is delicious, so why don't you lend it to me first." When the third uncle comes, I'll give you back the money and help out. Mainland Tsai, played by Zhou Xingchi, said politely.

"Aha, Hong Kong people can't protect themselves, how can they have spare time to help you."

As soon as the security guard's words came out, the audience in the theater immediately laughed, which is indeed a true portrayal of most people in Hong Kong now. Chen Baisheng also shook his head secretly, the things contained in this easter egg are not ordinary, the arrogance of Hong Kong people and the politeness of mainlanders are put together, which is really ironic.

The plot of the movie continues, and the security guard points to the vending machine and jokes, "If you want to drink soda, please ask for this machine." ”

Zhou Xingchi didn't care, he looked directly at the vending machine and said, "Sir, borrow a can of soda to drink......

"Hey, hey, hey, it's a vending machine, not a sir." The security guard continued to maintain a mocking tone, saying, "Call it the boss of the machine, and you will have a soda to drink." ”

"Ha, thank you, thank you."

Zhou Xingchi thanked the security guard, then turned his head and looked at the vending machine with a smile and said, "Boss of the machine, borrow a can of soda to drink!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xingchi restrained the smile on his face and closed his eyes, and pressed his hands on the shell of the vending machine. The audience in the theater was stunned, what is this guy going to do on the screen?

Just when they were confused, they saw the indicator light of the vending machine turn on, and a bottle of soda fell out.

"Damn, how did I get there?"

"This is also gambling?"

"Could it be gambling on the mainland?"

“……”

There was a burst of discussion at the scene, and people were confused by Zhou Xingchi's trick, which was even more magical than the gambler's trick.

Still, the on-screen story continues.

"Thank you, thank you, Boss Ji." Zhou Xingchi smiled and thanked the vending machine again, and then ignored the security guard who was dizzy by this strange scene next to him, looked into the distance and said, "Strange, why hasn't the third uncle come yet." ”

After speaking, the mainland boy played by Zhou Xingchi didn't wait, and walked directly into the distance with a snakeskin bag.

At this point, the screen was completely black.

There was silence in the theater, and after half a ring, someone suddenly shouted, "What kind of movie was that?" ”

"I don't know, but it looks amazing." Someone in the crowd replied.

"It looks like it should be Wanda's summer movie."

"Summer file? Are you sure? ”

"It should be......"

"Damn, isn't that more than four months to wait?"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

“……”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and everyone forgot to leave for a while, Chen Baisheng was also confused by the last trick just now, and sat in the seat and reminisced.

In the back row of the theater, Li Jianren even caught Zhou Xingchi and asked.

"Ah Xing, what was that trick just now?"

"I don't know."

"Is that also a thousand arts?"

"I don't know."

"Damn, do you know anything else?"

"I didn't know." Zhou Xingchi shrugged his shoulders and said confidently: "Mr. Li only gave me these storyboard scripts, and didn't tell me anything, how do you want me to answer you?" ”

“……”
