369 [Changing the Direction of Gambling]
The two playing cards were brought up by the staff, and Kang Jianfei casually opened a pair of shuffled cards.
Kang Jianfei's shuffling skills are not proficient, in fact, he rarely plays poker, and he can't do all kinds of fancy shuffling techniques in the movie for the time being, but this does not prevent him from using his extremely fast hand speed to play a few low-level card draw games.
After a few casual washes, Kang Jianfei rolled up his sleeves to show that he didn't hide the cards, and Mao Xianyun helped him hold the microphone and put it on the side of his face. Kang Jianfei said to the audience below: "When I filmed this "God of Gamblers", I didn't advocate everyone to gamble. Small gambling pleasure, big gambling loser, in fact, nine out of ten gambles, after watching "God of Gamblers", you must not indulge in gambling because of this, otherwise my sin will be great. ”
"Papapa......" There was a burst of applause from the audience, and everyone did not hesitate to applaud this kind of socially responsible words.
A television camera moved over, ready to shoot a close-up of Kang Jianfei playing cards. However, the audience at the scene could not see it clearly, after all, the technology of the times was limited, and it was impossible to have a live big screen in the early 80s to show the details to the audience below.
Xiang Huaqiang stared at Kang Jianfei's hand curiously, this kind of party naturally could not be rehearsed in advance, he only knew that Kang Jianfei was going to show his hands beforehand, but he didn't know how he would play.
Kang Jianfei held a square 5 between his fingers, showed it for everyone to see, and asked, "What kind of card is this?" ”
"Block 5." Huang Qiusheng replied.
Kang Jianfei raised his other hand to show everyone that it was empty-handed, and then put his palms together, he showed the card again and asked, "What is it now?" ”
"Wow, it's the ace of spades!" Li Yuanfeng exclaimed, but what she was thinking about was that time to play truth or dare, and when Brother Kang drew cards, she didn't know if she cheated.
"How?" Mao Xianyun moved Kang Jianfei's hands away and checked them one by one, but he didn't see the card just now.
Zhou Xingchi directly pounced and knelt down exaggeratedly, hugged Kang Jianfei's leg and said, "Master." I said why are you so familiar, it turns out that you are my long-lost master! ”
"Haha......"
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
has hosted entertainment programs for a whole year, and Zhou Xingchi's funny talent can be regarded as a little bit of exercise.
Although the audience below couldn't see it clearly, they also guessed that Kang Jianfei changed his cards at that moment, and couldn't help but become more and more curious about this escapee - how many things does he have?
The reporters are thinking about it, and some people are even preparing to make it up blindly, contacting TVB's "King of a Thousand Kings" two years ago, planning to give Kang Jianfei's so-called "master" the identity of a thousand kings.
There are some underground casinos in Hong Kong, but Xiang Huaqiang has no research on gambling, and he asked curiously: "Ah Fei." Did you just switch cards? ”
"Actually, it's all a trick," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "Actually, I already have a card in my left palm, and no one can see it due to the angle." By the time I was rubbing the cards, I had already swapped out the two cards. Using your attention on my right hand, I put the 5 of diamonds back into the pile of cards on the table with my left hand. Actually, it's not that hard to do. Just hurry up. Like this......"
Kang Jianfei touched a card into his hand. Towards the camera, suddenly the finger moved, and the other people on the stage only felt that their eyes were slighted, the card of that card had changed, and the original card was behind Kang Jianfei's left hand at this time.
You must know that Kang Jianfei was born as a pickpocket in his last life, and he is the kind of super skill player. That eyesight and hand speed are not inferior to Lao Qian. With eye and hand speed, and subtle control over the fingers and palm muscles, you can play this little trick of changing cards after a few days of practicing poker.
Of course, what card-keeping, sweating and other advanced gambling skills. Kang Jianfei will not be able to do it at all.
However, with these few hands, there are still enough people to calm the premiere, and it will also become a movie publicity stunt in the coming days. Just like playing magic, Kang Jianfei performed casually a few times, and won warm applause.
After that, Kang Jianfei invited a few live audiences to the stage and learned to change cards with Zhou Yanfa, Huang Qiusheng and others.
Because the Taiping Theater is so big, the audience on the second and third floors will definitely not be able to see their movements clearly, but Kang Jianfei doesn't care about these, as long as the effect is good when the TV broadcast is good.
After Lin Fengjiao's five-tone Cantonese solo, "God of Gamblers" finally began to be released, and the TV station's cameras were turned off.
Shu Qi and Chen Bosen sat below, looking at the familiar opening of DreamWorks on the big screen, quite a bit of emotion.
Especially Chen Bosen, he also participated in the premiere of DreamWorks' entrepreneurial work "Happy Ghost", when the opening of the little boy sitting on the moon fishing, and the dreamy music also moved him.
At that time, who would have thought that a young man who swam to Hong Kong would rise like a volcanic eruption in just a few years, and already have the strength to compete with several major movie giants.
No, it should be said that DreamWorks has become a movie giant in Hong Kong.
At the beginning of the film, the casino in San Francisco, USA, the director introduced the role played by Zhou Yunfa from the computer file - the gambling god Gao Jin.
Then the Japanese asked for help, and Gao Jin won back the lost money for his friend, making the audience feel that this gambling king is a good person with affection and sex.
Until he watched most of the whole movie, Chen Bosen suddenly said: "After "God of Gamblers", I am afraid that the wind direction of Hong Kong gambling films will change, and this Kang Jianfei really wants to play new ideas in any film. ”
Chen Bosen's vision is very keen, and he can see at once the intention of this movie, that is, to "deify" the gambler who has always been despised.
Prior to this, no one in Hong Kong had ever made gambling films, Li Hanxiang had filmed, Xu Guanwen had filmed, and Wang Jing had also filmed. But in the previous gambling films, although the protagonist is also a gambler, no matter how clever the gambler's gambling skills are, the perception and intention have not jumped out of people's secular understanding of gamblers.
Just like Li Hanxiang and Xu Guanwen's gambling films, they all carry ridicule and irony of gamblers, and at the same time convey the connotation of big gambling losers.
Even in "The King of a Thousand Kings", which had super high TVB ratings in the first two years, the ending of a thousand kings in the north and south was a blind eye and a broken hand, which is not a meaning that gambling has no good end.
But "God of Gamblers" is different from previous gambling films, he is chivalrous and humane, especially because he is not only omnipotent at the gambling table, but also smart and wise, can punch and kick, and can play with guns. Such a person can no longer be regarded as a human being, and the Gao Jin created by the director through the film is an all-powerful "god".
In this movie, the gambler is not only not despised by others, but can act chivalrous and righteous, hoe the strong and help the weak, which is the biggest difference between "God of Gamblers" and previous gambling films.
The plot of the movie needs to have twists and turns to attract the audience, otherwise the protagonist is a god from beginning to end, and it is not interesting to crush the villain all the way.
So, the screenwriter arranged for the God of Gamblers to lose his memory, and his IQ was only equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child.
The drama and contradictions of the movie are also born from this, a retarded person who doesn't know anything, but sometimes has a different kind of smart mind. He can even deliberately put the change in his pocket for the knife boy and his little brother to steal, and after fooling two adults with normal intelligence, one of them hides in the bed like a child and snickers.
This is just the beginning, when the knife boy went in to deceive the ruffian with the amnesia, the childlike innocence and stupidity of the amnesia were diametrically opposed to the kingly spirit of the gambling god, but they complemented each other, which was really wonderful, and also brought a small climax to the movie.
"Fa Ge's acting skills are getting better and better, that performance is simply amazing." Shu Qi couldn't help but praise that his attention was more on the plot and the acting skills of the actors, and he was not as deep as Chen Bosen thought. This is also the difference between the two of them, although they are both literary and artistic young people who like movies, Shu Qi is better at organization and external connection, and is inferior to Chen Bosen in the depth and professionalism of film criticism.
When Gao Jin was invited back by the anti-bone boy Gao Yi, the expression of forgetting everything made the audience inevitably a little anxious. Especially when the enemy of the traditional gambling god of Gaoyi is ready to cheat on the cards, although the audience knows that the Tao will definitely be the final victory of the protagonist, it is inevitable that Gao Jin will be deceived in some movies, and at the same time guess how Gao Jin will break the game.
Looking at it with these anticipations, when the high-tech contact lenses he bought under Gao Jinjin flicked the cards on the villain's face, the Taiping Theater immediately erupted in cheers.
After the film ended, there was thunderous applause in the theater, and reporters from all walks of life who had been holding back for a long time rushed over to interview Kang Jianfei, Zhou Yunfa and others, and Kang Jianfei was also very cooperative in answering them one by one.
"Director Kang, do you think the box office of "God of Gamblers" can surpass "Five Lucky Stars"?"
"Of course I want my movies to have more box office, who wants to have more money?"
"Mr. Kang, who did you learn your gambling skills from?"
"Actually, it's not gambling, it's just a little quicker, and many magicians can do it."
"Mr. Kang, why would you choose to make a gambling film this time, wouldn't it be better to direct "Royal Sister 3" in person?"
"I'm a person who likes the new and hates the old, and I never like repetitive things, so it's fun to shoot with a different genre."
“……”
Fortunately, more reporters' attention was focused on Zhou Yanfa, and Huang Qiusheng, Li Yuanfeng, Xiang Huaqiang and Lin Fengjiao also attracted some firepower, and Kang Jianfei was able to get out smoothly.
Ordinary viewers left one after another, and many people were still discussing how the God of Gamblers changed cards, and they all looked like they were still unsatisfied.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters, McDonald Bear and others did not join in the excitement to congratulate the success of the premiere, so they left among the exiting audiences. Listening to the discussion of the surrounding audience, Mai Dangxiong couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Kang's grasp of commercial elements is still so good, the rhythm of this "God of Gamblers" is too well controlled, especially the small climaxes that promote the big climax, which is very exciting for the audience, and it must be a box office hit." ”
"yes, every one of his movies sells well." Xu Ke nodded with feeling, he is the assistant director of "God of Gamblers", and he was deeply touched by this during filming, and he also learned a lot about the use of commercial elements from it. (To be continued......)
