Two sets of playing cards were brought up by the staff, and Kang Jianfei casually opened a deck and shuffled the cards.
Kang Jianfei is not very skilled in card shuffling techniques. In fact, he rarely plays poker and is currently unable to do the various fancy card shuffling techniques in the movie. However, this does not prevent him from using his extremely fast hand speed to play a few low-level hands.
The card-changing game.
After a few casual washes, Kang Jianfei rolled up his sleeves to show that he had no hidden cards, and Mao Shunyun helped him hold the microphone to his face. Kang Jianfei said to the audience below: "I am filming this "God of Gamblers", and
I’m not advocating gambling. A small gamble will make you happy, but a big gamble will ruin your fortune. In fact, nine out of ten gamblers will cheat. After watching "God of Gamblers", viewers, please don’t become addicted to gambling, otherwise my sin will be great."
"Pa bang bang..." A burst of applause came from the audience. For such socially responsible words, everyone did not hesitate to applaud.
A TV camera moved over, preparing to take a close-up of Kang Jianfei playing cards. However, the audience at the scene could not see clearly. After all, due to the technological limitations of the times, it was impossible to have a large live screen in the early 1980s to show the details to the audience below.
Xiang Huaqiang stared at Kang Jianfei's hands curiously. It was impossible to rehearse this kind of party in advance. Beforehand, he only knew that Kang Jianfei was going to show his hands, but he didn't know how he would play it.
Kang Jianfei held a 5 of diamonds between his two fingers, showed it to everyone, and asked, "What card is this?"
"Diamond 5." Huang Qiusheng answered quickly.
Kang Jianfei raised his other hand to show everyone that it was empty, then put his palms together, showed the cards again and asked, "What is it now?"
"Wow, it turned into the ace of spades!" Li Yufeng exclaimed, but what she was thinking about was that time when she played truth or dare, Brother Kang didn't know if he cheated when he drew the cards.
"How did you do it?" Mao Shunyun removed Kang Jianfei's hands and looked at them one by one, but did not see the card just now.
Zhou Xingchi rushed over and knelt down in an exaggerated manner, hugging Kang Jianfei's legs and said: "Master, why do you look so familiar? It turns out that you are my long-lost master!"
"Hahaha……"
Another burst of laughter came from the audience.
After hosting entertainment programs for a whole year, Zhou Xingchi's comedy talent has been honed little by little.
Although the audience below couldn't see clearly, they also guessed that Kang Jianfei changed his cards at that moment, and they couldn't help but become more and more curious about this escapee - how many things does he know?
Reporters are wildly imaginative, and some are even preparing to make it up. In connection with TVB's "King of Thousand Kings" two years ago, they plan to give Kang Jianfei's so-called "Master" the status of a Thousand Kings.
There are some underground casinos in Xin Ngee Ann in Hong Kong, but Xiang Huaqiang has not studied gambling skills. He also asked curiously: "Ah Fei, did you change the cards just now?"
"Actually, it's all a trick," Kang Jianfei chuckled. "Actually, I already held a card in my left palm. No one could see it due to the angle. When I put my palms together to rub the cards, I had already exchanged the two cards.
If it falls, use your attention to my right hand to put the 5 of diamonds back into the pile of cards on the table with your left hand. In fact, this is not difficult to do, as long as your hand speed is faster. Just like this...
…”
Kang Jianfei touched a card into his hand, flashed it to the camera, and suddenly moved his finger. Others on the stage felt their eyes were dazzled. The face of the card had changed, but the original card was now in Kang Jianfei's hand.
after the left hand.
You must know that Kang Jianfei was a pickpocket in his last life. And he is a super technical player. His eyesight and hand speed are not inferior to that of a pickpocket. With his eyesight and hand speed, he also has fine control of the muscles in his fingers and palms, so he can do whatever he wants.
After practicing poker for a few days, you can do this little trick of changing cards.
Of course, Kang Jianfei is completely incapable of advanced gambling skills such as card counting and sweating.
However, these few tricks were enough to calm the people at the premiere, and they will become a publicity stunt for the movie in the next few days. Just like a magic trick. Kang Jianfei performed a few casual tricks and won warm applause.
.
Afterwards, Kang Jianfei invited several live audience members to come on stage and learn how to change cards with Zhou Runfa, Huang Qiusheng and others.
Since the Taiping Theater is so big, the audience on the second and third floors must not be able to see their movements clearly, but Kang Jianfei doesn't care about this, as long as the TV broadcast effect is good.
After Lin Fengjiao performed a tone-deaf Cantonese solo, "God of Gamblers" finally began to be screened. The television cameras were also turned off.
Shu Qi and Chen Bosen sat below, looking at the familiar title sequence of DreamWorks on the big screen, feeling quite emotional.
Especially Chen Bosen, who also attended the premiere of DreamWorks' first film "Happy Ghost". The opening scene of a young man sitting on the moon fishing and the dreamlike music also moved him.
Who could have imagined at that time that a young man who came to Hong Kong by swimming would rise like a volcano in just a few years and already have the strength to compete with several major film giants.
No, it should be said that DreamWorks has become a film giant in Hong Kong.
The film begins in a casino in San Francisco, USA. The director introduces the character played by Zhou Runfa - Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers - from the computer files through the mouth of the actor.
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 kind and sincere person.
After watching more than half of the movie, Chen Bosen suddenly said: "After "God of Gamblers", the trend of gambling movies in Hong Kong will probably change. Kang Jianfei really wants to come up with new ideas in every movie he makes."
Chen Bosen has a very keen eye, and he immediately saw the intention of this movie, which is to "deify" gamblers who have always been despised.
Before this, no one in Hong Kong had made gambling films. Li Hanxiang had made it, Xu Guanwen had made it, and Wang Jing had also made it. But in the previous gambling films, although the protagonist was also a gambler, no matter how brilliant the gambler's gambling skills were,
, but the perception and conception also do not jump out of people's secular understanding of gamblers.
Just like Li Hanxiang and Xu Guanwen's gambling films, they both ridicule and satirize gamblers, and at the same time convey the connotation of losing money through big gambles.
Even TVB's "King of a Thousand Kings", which had very high ratings in the past two years, ended up with a blind eye and a broken hand in the North and South Thousand Kings. This may not mean that gambling does not end well.
But "God of Gamblers" is different from previous gambling movies. He is chivalrous and humane, especially since he is not only omnipotent at the gambling table, but also smart, wise, good at boxing, and playing with guns. Such a person can no longer be regarded as a
As a human being, Gao Jin, whom the director created through the film, is an almighty "god".
In this movie, gamblers are not only not looked down upon by others, but they can also act chivalrously and help the weak. This is the biggest difference between "God of Gamblers" and previous gambling movies.
The plot of the movie needs twists and turns to attract the audience. Otherwise, the protagonist is a god from beginning to end, and there is no point in crushing the villain along the way.
Therefore, 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.
This is where the drama and conflict in the movie arise. A mentally retarded person who doesn’t understand anything has a very smart mind at times. He can even put change in his pocket on purpose for Knife and his younger brother to steal it.
After deceiving two adults with normal intelligence, one person hid in bed and laughed like a child.
This is just the beginning. When Dao Zai takes the amnesiac Gao to deceive the gangster leader, the childlike innocence and innocence after amnesia are completely opposite to the kingly aura of the God of Gamblers, but they complement each other. It is really wonderful and also for
The movie brings a little**.
"Brother Fa's acting skills are getting better and better. That performance was simply amazing." Shu Qi couldn't help but praise. His attention was more on the plot and the actors' acting skills, and was not as profound 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 communication, and is not as good as Chen Bosen in the depth and professionalism of film reviews.
When Gao Jin was invited back by the rebel Gao Yi, his expression of forgetting everything inevitably made the audience a little anxious. Especially when the enemy of Gao Yi, the traditional god of gambling, was about to cheat on cards, although the audience knew that he must be the protagonist.
In the end, he won, but it is inevitable that Gao Jin will be deceived in some movies, and at the same time, he will guess how Gao Jin will break the situation.
Watching with these expectations, when Gao Jin took off the high-tech contact lenses he bought and flicked the cards to the villain's face, the Taiping Theater immediately burst into 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 Runfa and others, and Kang Jianfei also responded very cooperatively.
"Director Kang, do you think the box office of "God of Gamblers" can surpass "The Five Lucky Stars"?"
"Of course I hope my movies will have more box office. Who would complain about having too much money?"
"Mr. Kang, who did you learn your gambling skills from?"
"Actually, it's not a gambling skill. It's just a matter of being faster. Many magicians can do it."
"Mr. Kang, why did you choose to make a gambling film this time? Wouldn't it be better to direct "The Royal Sisters 3" yourself?"
"I'm a person who likes the new and hates the old. I never like repetitive things. It's fun to shoot in different genres."
"..."
Fortunately, more reporters paid attention to Zhou Runfa, and Huang Qiusheng, Li Yufeng, Xiang Huaqiang and Lin Fengjiao also attracted some firepower, and Kang Jianfei was able to escape smoothly.
The general audience left the venue one after another. Many people were still discussing how the God of Gamblers changed the cards, and they all looked like they were still unfinished.
When McDonald's and others saw Kang Jianfei being surrounded by reporters, they did not join in the fun to congratulate the success of the premiere, so they left among the exiting audience. Listening to the comments from the surrounding audience, McDonald's couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Kang is very interested in commercial elements."
The control is still so good, the rhythm of this "God of Gamblers" is so well controlled, especially the little characters pushing the big characters, which is very exciting for the audience, and it will definitely be a box office hit."
"Yes, every one of his movies is a hit." Xu Ke nodded with emotion. He was the assistant director of "God of Gamblers" and was deeply touched by this while filming, and also learned from it.
The use of many commercial elements. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
