370 [Gambling Trend]

The weather finally cleared, but the headache was that the temperature reached 35 degrees during the day.

This is a rare hot weather, although Hong Kong is located in the south, but there are not many times when it exceeds 30 degrees in summer, and this summer is really enough to toss.

In the old neighborhood of Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Xiao Jiu ran to the Yau Ma Tei Cinema before dinner, the purpose was to enter the cinema to watch "God of Gamblers" as soon as possible.

Xiao Jiu is an old gambler, he is in his forties this year and has not married a daughter-in-law, mainly because of gambling. Under the influence of his parents since he was a child, he began to touch mahjong at the age of three, and at the age of seven, he began to gamble with the children in the neighborhood to win snacks, and when he grew up, he became addicted to gambling.

When he didn't have much money, Xiao Jiu played pastime cards with the neighbors, and once he had money, he would go to the underground casinos of nearby gangs, and sometimes even take a boat to patronize the big casinos in Macau.

Xiao Jiu is very proficient in all kinds of gambling methods, but he can only win against ordinary neighbors, and nine times out of ten he will lose when he enters the casino.

Last night, Phoenix TV broadcast the premiere of "God of Gamblers", Xiao Jiu usually doesn't watch much TV, but he is attracted by the word "God of Gamblers" to change the channel.

As a result, Kang Jianfei's card change skills at the premiere shocked him, under the close-up of the camera, Kang Jianfei obviously could not change the cards, but changed the cards vividly, Xiao Jiu thought that Kang Jianfei must be clever in gambling, and even gave birth to the idea of apprenticeship.

Soon arrived outside the Yau Ma Tei Theater, Xiao Jiu found that there were already a lot of people lined up at the ticket window, and there were a few neighbors he knew.

"Bin Zai, buy one for my uncle." Xiao Jiu was too lazy to wait in line, found a young man in the line, took out 20 yuan and stuffed it into the man's hand.

"It's Uncle Nine," Bin Tsai asked with a smile, "which position do you want?" ”

Xiao Jiu is used to gambling. didn't care about the few dollars, and said, "Don't lean too forward, look up at your neck and feel uncomfortable." ”

"Okay, I'll buy two in the middle." Bin Tsai said with a smile.

Since there were still some people in front, the two were there to line up and chat, Xiao Jiu asked, "Bin Zai, did you watch yesterday's premiere?" ”

Bin Zai usually likes to play two cards, but he is not as indiscriminate as Xiao Jiu, he said admiringly: "Why didn't you see it?" Mr. Kang's hand is so powerful, you can't see the flaws when the camera is on. He will definitely only win and not lose when he enters the casino. ”

As soon as he mentioned gambling, Xiao Jiu became energetic, and he said mysteriously: "I specially bought a newspaper today to read, it turns out that Kang Jianfei's master used to be the king of Nanqian. After the G industry party won the world, gambling was banned, and Nan Qianwang hid incognito in the countryside of Guang/Dong, and accidentally discovered that Kang Jianfei had the potential to learn a thousand arts. So he passed on all his gambling skills to Kang Jianfei. I heard that this "God of Gamblers" is Kang Jianfei's movie adapted from the true story of his master Nan Qianwang. ”

"Really? I remember that the newspaper used to say that his master was an old filmmaker who knew kung fu. Bin Tsai questioned.

Xiao Jiu smiled: "I think Kang Jianfei's master must be more than one. Have you seen Gu Long's "The Peerless Twins"? ”

Bin Tsai nodded and said, "Zhilu Dao." The TV series starring Huang Yuanshen and Shi Xiu. ”

Xiao Jiu said his guess: "In "The Peerless Double Pride", Jiang Xiaoyu has many masters in the Valley of the Wicked, and one master teaches a skill, so Xiaoyuer can do anything as soon as he comes out of the rivers and lakes. ”

"You said that Kang Jianfei is also like Jiang Xiaoyu, he was taught by many reclusive bigwigs with backgrounds?" Bin Tsai immediately understood what Xiao Jiu meant.

Xiao Jiu nodded and said: "This must be the case, otherwise Kang Jianfei, a rotten boy who came from the mainland to swim in the sea, can make movies, write novels, write songs and sing anything." And also kung fu and gambling. ”

Bin Tsai actually believed Xiao Jiudi's statement, and said with envy: "If only I had so many masters, I don't have to live in an old house in Yau Ma Tei." ”

While the two were chatting, they had come to the ticket window. I successfully bought a movie ticket.

The movie will not start for more than an hour, Xiao Jiu is very generous, and took the initiative to invite Bin Tsai to a small restaurant for dinner. The two walked across the street, Xiao Jiu looked back at the Yau Ma Tei Theater on the third floor, and suddenly said, "Bin Zai, how much money do you say this Kang Jianfei has?" I heard that this theater is also his property. ”

Bin Tsai said: "Didn't the newspaper say that there were more than a billion last time? A theater is just a small thing to him. ”

"More than a billion? I've been pounced on his mother, and it's only been a few years. Xiao Jiu swallowed his saliva and looked back at the Yau Ma Tei Theater across the street.

Twenty years ago, it was one of the five major theaters in Hong Kong, and the theater owner was regarded as a very powerful person by the surrounding neighborhoods, but now after the theater was bought by Kang Jianfei, it not only changed from a one-story building to a three-story building, but also divided into six screening halls at once, and the hardware equipment inside was also replaced, which was more luxurious and modern than before.

Bin Tsai and Xiao Jiu walked towards the small restaurant, and said as they walked: "Among those rich people, Kang Jianfei is the most high-profile one, and he is not afraid of being kidnapped and asking for money, but Shao Yifu's son has been kidnapped many times. ”

"Kidnapping Kang Jianfei?" Xiao Jiu has regarded Kang Jianfei as an idol since he watched the card swap game at the premiere, and he said with honor, "Have you forgotten those Vietnamese three years ago? It was a few robbers with guns, holding guns to Kang Jianfei's head, and he killed and injured several people. Kang Jianfei definitely has real kung fu in his hands, which is different from those actors who embroider their legs. ”

Bin Zai smiled: "It's true, I forgot about this, I guess those kidnappers didn't dare to fight Kang Jianfei's idea." ”

The two found a restaurant to eat and chat, and gradually chatted from the movie to the card table.

Xiao Jiu asked for a few bottles of beer, and bragged about his glorious past with cold salad: "It was fifteen years ago, I broke into Macau single-handedly, and I had hundreds of yuan on me. At that time, a few hundred Hong Kong dollars were much more valuable than they are now, like Lao Yao's shop on East Street, 10,000 yuan can be dished. Originally, I wanted to go into the casino and play a little two, but guess what? Hehe, a few Taiwanese beat my idea and wanted to win my money in partnership. We played in a hotel in Macau, first with dice, then with pai gow...... Who does Xiao Jiu think of me? A gambling genius who can play cards at the age of three, those Taiwanese still want to cheat me out of my money. I used to learn sweat with an old man, and those pai gow were all remembered in my heart, and the Taiwanese didn't even have a chance to change their cards, and I won them one by one and only left a pair of pants. ”

Bin Tsai knew that the ninth uncle was bragging again, but he didn't say anything. smiled and agreed: "Uncle Jiu, you are really amazing, you won a lot of money that time, right?" ”

"What's the win?" Xiao Jiu said angrily, "Those Taiwanese can't afford to lose, so they grabbed it with a knife against my throat and asked me to pay for my life." Alas, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, so I had to return the money I won to them, and also post my own money upside down, otherwise my uncle would have been developed a long time ago. If I knew kung fu, there would be absolutely no such thing. Therefore, you must not go alone when you go to other places to gamble in the future, and when the time comes, call Uncle Nine and me to take care of one more person. ”

"Definitely, definitely." Bin Tsai smiled and stuffed the last piece of cold pork head meat into his mouth, and shouted to the younger brother in the restaurant, "Another fried beef river and a bottle of beer." ”

Xiao Jiu had a pain in his flesh. But he was embarrassed to object, so he had to call himself a cow river.

was eaten hard by Bin Tsai. The two went to the cinema drunk. People crowded into the screening room and sat down.

Before the movie started, Xiao Jiu fell asleep on the seat, and suddenly heard someone around him shouting "Zhou Runfa is a beautiful boy", and he woke up suddenly.

I saw Zhou Yanfa sitting at the card table with an extraordinary momentum, with a confident smile on his face, reaching out to turn over the hole cards at will. He won millions of chips at the table.

Xiao Jiu swallowed his saliva, he felt that Zhou Yanfa's movements and expressions were too handsome, if he could dominate the casino like the God of Gamblers, he would not be able to live in vain in the world.

Zhou Runfa's image of the God of Gambling is high. Huang Qiusheng's appearance made Xiao Jiu feel very cordial, especially the obsessive madness at the gambling table, which made Xiao Jiu feel that it was another self.

"Haha......"

The screening room erupted in laughter, but it was the knife boy played by Huang Qiusheng who was thrown down from the second floor after losing the money.

"Bin Zai, Dao Zai's Ma Zi has so big breasts, who is that actress?" Xiao Jiu's eyes stared at Li Yuanfeng on the screen and couldn't take his eyes off, and stretched out his hand to pat Bin Zai next to him and asked.

Bin Tsai is much younger in the end, and he has some understanding of youth idol groups like the Happy Girl Group, and explained to Xiao Jiu: "That's Li Yuanfeng of the Happy Girl Group, one of the leading little flowers in DreamWorks. ”

The fun plot finally came, the high-flying gambling god actually stepped on the humble trap set by a small gambler, and as a result, he fell down the hill and hit his head and lost his memory.

Zhou Yanfa's comedic talent is fully displayed here, especially the scene where Dao Boy and Gao Jin run to cheat the gambling stall boss of money, which made the screening hall burst into bursts of laughter.

As the plot progresses, the scene of the anti-bone boy Gao Yi's rape of the corpse sister-in-law makes the audience gnash their teeth, and Dong Wei seems to be the life of playing a traitor for the rest of his life.

"I just think this high righteousness is wrong."

"That is, he also played the anti-bone boy in the last "True Colors of Heroes".

"The tape hasn't burned out, do you think Gao Jin will find out when he comes back?"

“……”

The audience has fully entered the play, and from time to time there are still people discussing the plot with the leader in a low voice, and the atmosphere in the screening hall has become more and more enthusiastic.

Until Gao Jin won the gamble on the gambling boat, Gao Yi was also shot to death by the Singapore gambling king, and such a happy ending made many viewers stand up and cheer.

After watching the movie, Xiao Jiu's gambling addiction has long been hooked up by the movie. It seemed that he had already possessed the God of Gambling, pulled Bin Tsai to walk outside the theater, and said, "Bin Tsai, go back and ask your Abel to come out and rub two handfuls." ”

"Okay, I want to play cards when I watch this movie." Bin Tsai rubbed his palms and said.

When he went back that night, Xiao Jiu played mahjong with the neighbors for a few hours, and actually won more than 200 yuan, which made him feel that he was blessed by the gambling god.

"God of Gamblers" got off to a good start on the first day of its release, and the box office reached 2.85 million on the first day. Although Hong Kong's movie ticket prices have been rising every year in recent years, the box office on the first day was almost 3 million, which still scared many people, which is equivalent to the total box office of most Hong Kong films in the city, that is, the first-day box office of "Five Lucky Stars" is also hundreds of thousands less than that of "God of Gamblers".

But what's even more bizarre is that after "God of Gamblers" was screened for a period of time, a gambling trend suddenly broke off in the Hong Kong market, which made Kang Jianfei really cry and laugh. (To be continued......)
