Chapter 231: Chess Opponents
Luo Qidao saw that the movie review he wrote before was completely inconsistent with the trend of the film, and couldn't help laughing at himself, and he was about to delete and rewrite.
This is also the difference between him and ordinary film critics, many film critics who are messing around, after watching the fifteen-minute film, they finish writing a film review, and then they should go out to flirt with the sister, and play the big sword, of course, their film reviews are basically complaining throughout, or full of praise, which mainly depends on the thickness of the red envelope.
So often the bull's head is not right, such as scolding Shawshank for so many female protagonists to engage in harem?
However, Luo Qidao is different, although he also likes to write while watching, and he wants to seize the inspiration that explodes in the process of watching the movie, but he will recall the whole film after watching it, and then check the film review before it is released.
But he thought about it, stopped his fingers, smiled and wrote below.
"But I continued to look down and found that I was wrong, it seems that the clichΓ© story is packaged under a new core, "God of Gamblers" is not actually based on gambling, but mainly tells the story of a person who has suffered repeated setbacks and still persevered and struggled, Yingshuai gathered family affection, love, brotherhood, gunfights, action, deified gambling skills and other extremely rich dramatic elements in the story, the plot structure is complete, and the characters are distinct.
Zhang Guorong is well controlled, a character with a split personality created by amnesia, normally he has a god attribute that surpasses human control, but the characters after amnesia are obviously more cute, because at this time they have changed from gods to people, if there is no change, the image of the God of Gambling is an empty and soulless symbolic character. β
He wrote that he had reached the final scene of the decisive battle between Gao Jin and the gambling king of the Japanese Kingdom, and Gao Jin was also in a predicament, hiding a poisonous snake beside him, and the audience did not know that he had recognized his younger brother at this time, and they all sweated for Gao Jin.
Huang Bo, who plays Gao Yi, is obviously better than the original version, Long Fang, who played Gao Yi in the original version, is a single-minded actor, he has never played a traitor in his life, and he has never played a good person.
It is not difficult for a person to play a bad guy once, but it is difficult to play a bad guy for a lifetime, and he has never played a good guy once. So as soon as he appeared, the audience knew that he was a villain, and the plot of the original book was too ridiculous, how could anyone be so blatant as a bad guy, so Yingshuai changed a lot in this character.
Yingshuai hid Gao Yi a little deeper, and also inserted a scene where he pretended to block bullets for him in order to gain Chen Xiaodao's trust.
Of course, Huang Boqiang, the scene of Zhang Min's corpse, although Yingshuai filmed the final edit, it was also deleted, and it will not be mixed up after it is released. Changed to because of his crush on his sister-in-law, he secretly confessed after Gao Jin disappeared, and after being rejected, he accidentally pushed her downstairs.
After these changes, the plot has become much smoother, and the plot of Gao Yi's betrayal has become much more reasonable, rather than the stylized bad guys of the original film.
Of course, Yingshuai modified more than this character, he also deleted a lot of Chen Xiaodao's side story, and the original film seemed a little dragged, which affected the smoothness of the overall story.
Gao Jin's hole cards on the screen have been seen through by the gambling king, but he doesn't seem to know, so he still decisively chooses stud, but his small action of touching the ring still reveals that he is just cheating the gambling king.
Seeing this, the gambling king of the Japanese Kingdom shook his head and laughed and said: "Young people are young people after all, and they are in a hurry after all." Okay with you 26 million, I'll have four Qs, you can take a look!"
Zhang Guorong looked frustrated, shook his head and sighed, as if he had lost.
The audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation, obviously feeling sorry for Zhang Guorong.
Zhang Guorong leaned back in the chair dejectedly, and said in a gloomy tone: "It's so powerful, the gambling king is really the gambling king, and you got all the four Qs." β
Yikes!
There was an exclamation in the room.
On the screen, Zhang Guorong suddenly showed a mocking smile and said: "But you are still unlucky, I am four A." β
Good!
The anti-transfer of the plot was collectively hilarious with the audience who had been suppressed for ten minutes in the gambling game, but including Luo Qidao, didn't understand how the gambling god won, could it be that he was out of the thousands?
"Anticlimactic. Luo Qidao couldn't help muttering, if such a wonderful foreshadowing was just such a simple move to break the game, it would obviously not be able to hold up the ending of the whole film, but he couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
But Yingshuai obviously doesn't want the audience to guess that the next plot is the most exciting part of the whole film.
Zhang Guorong first debunked the reason why he won the gamble, although it was a bit ridiculous, but it greatly surprised the audience, and the secret mark on the card turned out to be Gao Jin's own point, only felt a cool word.
Before the audience could finish it, the film climaxed again, Gao Jin first exposed Gao Yi's true face, and then used the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people, provoking the relationship between him and the gambling king, and stuffed the toy gun into Gao Yi's hands, causing him to be shot by the gambling king who wanted to defend himself.
When the audience thought it was over, the gambling king proudly told everyone that the ship would not go to jail at all.
The audience sighed again in disappointment.
However, Gao Jin had already seen through everything, and the ship had already been driven back to the port by him, and the gambling god had won.
"I didn't think that the film would surprise us at the end, I couldn't help but make a small spoiler, Yingshuai deceived the audience again and again, but the audience was happy to be deceived by him, as for how to deceive everyone, go to the theater to watch it yourself.
Of course, the artistry of this film is far inferior to the previous films, but so what, this is the happiest one of all the films I've seen him. So I give it a rating of 7.6. β
Although Luo Qidao was very happy to watch, the connotation of this film is still insufficient after all, it is just a commercial film, so naturally it will not give too high a score.
He gave the two films released today basically the same rating, and in his opinion, the quality of the two films is actually comparable.
The box office results on the first day seem to say all this, the two films reported 89 million and 82 million respectively, the God of Gamblers is slightly ahead, and of course, the God of Gamblers' film schedule rate is also slightly better than the hero's true character.
The two films can be said to be chess opponents, whether it is the coffee position of the film lineup, or the publicity or even the film schedule, it can only be said that there is little difference, and the box office on the first day seems to indicate that this will be a win-win ending.
The word-of-mouth of the audience on Eagle Eye also verifies this.
The God of Gambling was given a high score, and was scored by more than 10,000 people, reaching an audience rating of 9.3, almost squeezing out the twelve angry men who ranked first, and temporarily ranked second.
Of course, the professional score still does not exceed eight points, after all, the films that the audience likes to see are the enemies of experts.
The true character of the hero is not much worse, but because it is the second part, it is impossible to surpass the classic of the first part, and the score is still a loss, with an audience score of 8.8 and an expert score of 7.6.
The two films that seem to be evenly matched have ushered in the dawn of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
