The two playing cards were brought up by the staff, and Kang Jianfei casually took apart one and shuffled the cards.
Kang Jianfei is not proficient in card shuffling techniques. In fact, he rarely plays poker cards and cannot 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-changing games.
After washing it a few times, Kang Jianfei rolled up his sleeves to show that he had no hidden cards. Mao Shunjun helped him hold the microphone and put it on the side of his face.
Kang Jianfei said to the audience below: I am filming this "God of Gambling" and it is not to encourage everyone to gamble.Small gambling is fun and big gambling is losing the money. In fact, nine out of ten gambling are cheated. After watching "God of Gambling", you must not be addicted to gambling because of this, otherwise my sins will be great.
Papa... There was a burst of applause from the audience. Everyone would not stingy with such socially responsible words.
A TV station's camera moved over and was about to take a close-up of Kang Jianfei playing cards.
However, the audience on site could not see clearly. After all, the technology restrictions of the times, it was impossible for a live big screen to show the details of the audience below in the early 1980s.
Xiang Huaqiang stared at Kang Jianfei's hand curiously. It was naturally impossible to rehearse such a party in advance. Before that, he only knew that Kang Jianfei was going to show his hands, but he didn't know how he would play it.
Kang Jianfei had a 5-cube with two fingers, and showed it out for everyone to look at it, and asked: What card is this?
Block 5.Anthony Wong answered quickly.
Kang Jianfei raised his other hand to let everyone see that he was empty-handed, then closed his palms together, and he showed the cards again and asked: What is it now?
Wow, it has become A Spades!Li Meifeng exclaimed, but she was thinking about the truth-telling adventure. Brother Kang didn't know if he cheated when he drew cards.
How to do it?Mao Shunjun moved Kang Jianfei's hands and ten fingers to check them one by one, but he did not see the card just now.
Stephen Chow rushed over and knelt down exaggeratedly, hugged Kang Jianfei's legs and said: Master, why do you look so familiar? It turns out that you are my long-lost Master Ah!
Hahaha……
Another burst of laughter came from the audience.
After hosting entertainment programs for a whole year, Stephen Chow's funny can be considered a little bit of training.
Although the audience below couldn't see clearly, they also guessed that Kang Jianfei changed his card at that moment. He couldn't help but be more curious about the Hong Kong escaper how much he would do?
The reporters were fantastic, and some even planned to make up the story, contacting TVB's "King of Thousand Kings" two years ago, intending to get Kang Jianfei's so-called master the identity of Thousand Kings.
There are some underground casinos in Xinyi'an in Hong Kong, but Xiang Huaqiang has no research on gambling techniques. He also asked curiously: A Fei, did you change your cards just now?
In fact, it was all a trick. Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "In fact, I had a card in my left palm, but no one could see it because of the angle problem."When I clasped my hands and rubbed the cards, I had already replaced the two cards. When I used my attention to my right hand, I put the 5 block back into the pile of cards on the table with my left hand.Actually, this is not difficult to do, as long as you speed up.Just like this...
Kang Jianfei touched a card and lit up at the camera. Suddenly his fingers moved. The others on the stage only felt their eyes blurred. The card's face had changed, but it turned out that the card was behind Kang Jianfei's left hand at this time.
You should know that Kang Jianfei was a pickpocket in his previous life, and he was a super technical player, so his eyesight and hand speed were not inferior to those of a cheater.
With eyesight and hand speed, and fine control of fingers and palm muscles, you can play this trick of changing cards after practicing poker for a few days.
Of course, Kang Jianfei knew nothing about advanced gambling techniques such as card recording and sweating.
However, with these few tricks, it is still enough to suppress the premiere and will also become a movie promotion stunt in the next few days.
Just like playing magic, Kang Jianfei performed casually for a few times and won warm applause.
Afterwards, Kang Jianfei invited several live audiences to the stage and learned to change cards with him with Chow Yun-fat, Anthony Wong and others.
Since Taiping Cinema is too 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 things, as long as the effect is good during the TV broadcast.
After Lin Fengjiao's Cantonese solo incomplete tone, "God of Gambling" finally began to be released, and the TV station's camera was also turned off.
Shu Qi and Chen Bosen sat down below, looking at the familiar opening of DreamWorks on the big screen, with a feeling of emotion.
Especially Chen Bosen, he also participated in the premiere of DreamWorks' entrepreneurial work "Happy Ghost". The opening credits of the little man sitting on the moon and the dreamy music that moved him.
Who could have expected that a young man who came to Hong Kong would rise like a volcano erupting in just a few years and already had the ability to challenge several major movie giants.
No, it should be said that DreamWorks has become a film giant in Hong Kong.
The beginning of the film is the Casino in San Francisco, USA. The director introduced the character Gao Jin, the god of gambling played by Chow Yun-fat from computer files through the mouth of a supporting role.
Then the Japanese asked for help, and Gao Jin won back the lost money for his friends, making the audience feel that the gambling king is a very affectionate and good person.
Until most of the movie was watched, Chen Bosen suddenly said: After "God of Gambling", the trend of Hong Kong gambling films is about to change. Kang Jianfei really has to come up with new ideas in any movie he made.
Chen Bosen had a very sharp vision and could see the intention of this movie at once, which was to deify the gambler who had always been despised.
Before this, it was not that no one in Hong Kong had ever filmed gambling films, including Li Hanxiang, Xu Guanwen, and Wang Jing.
But in previous gambling movies, although the protagonist was also a gambler, even though the gambler's gambling skills were clever, his impression and intention did not break out of people's secular understanding of gamblers.
Just like the gambling films by Li Hanxiang and Xu Guanwen all carry ridicule and satire towards gamblers, and at the same time convey the connotation of big gambling and losing money.
Even in "The King of Thousand Kings", which had a very high TVB ratings in the past two years, the ending of Thousand Kings of the North and South is blind and the other broke. It may be the meaning of gambling without a good ending.
But "God of Gambling" is different from previous gambling movies. He is chivalrous and humane, especially because he is not only omnipotent at the gambling table, but also smart, wise, knows how to punch and play with guns.
Such a person can no longer be considered a human being. Gao Jin, a director created through the film, is an all-round god.
In this movie, gamblers are not only not despised, but can instead be a hero and help the weak. This is the biggest difference between "God of Gambling" and previous gambling films.
The plot of the movie requires twists and turns to attract the audience, otherwise the protagonist will be a god from beginning to end, and it would be meaningless to crush the villain all the way.
Therefore, the screenwriter arranged for the god of gambling to lose his memory, and his IQ was only equivalent to a ten-year-old child.
The drama and conflicts of the movie are thus arisen. A mentally retarded who knows nothing has a different mindset at some point.
He could even deliberately put the change in his pocket and let Daozai and his younger brother steal it. After tricking two adults with normal intelligence, he hid in the quilt like a child and laughed secretly.
This is just the beginning. When Dao Zai took Gao Jin, who had lost his memory, to deceive the gangster, his innocence and stupidity after his memory were completely opposite to the kingly aura of the god of gambling, but it complemented each other. It was really wonderful and brought a small climax to the movie.
Brother Fa's acting skills are getting better and better, and that performance is simply amazing.
Shu Qi couldn't help but exclaim that his attention was more on the plot and the actor's acting skills, and it 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 organizing and external communication, and is not as deep and professional as Chen Bosen in the film reviews.
When Gao Jin was invited back by his rebellious boy Gao Yi, the expression of forgetting everything made the audience feel a little anxious.
Especially when Gao Yi's traditional gambling god is about to fake the cards, although the audience knows that the protagonist will definitely win the final victory, some movies will inevitably be deceived, and at the same time guess how Gao Jin will break the deadlock.
With these expectations, when Gao Jincai took down the high-tech contact lenses he bought and bounced the cards onto the villain's face, a cheer immediately burst out in Taiping Cinema.
After the film ended, there was a thunderous applause in the theater. Journalists from all walks of life who had been holding it in for a long time rushed over to interview Kang Jianfei, Chow Yun-fat and others, and Kang Jianfei also cooperated very well to answer one by one.
Director Kang, do you think the box office of "God of Gamblers" can surpass "The Five Blessings Stars"?
Of course I hope my movies have more box office, who would think it’s too much money?
Mr. Kang, who did you learn gambling skills from?
In fact, it is not considered gambling. It is just a little faster, and many magicians can do it.
……
Fortunately, more reporters focused on Chow Yun-fat, while Anthony Wong, Li Mei-feng, Xiang Huaqiang and Lin Fengjiao also attracted some firepower, and Kang Jianfei was able to escape smoothly.
Ordinary audiences left one after another, and many people were still discussing how the God of Gamblers changed their cards, all of which looked like they were still unsatisfied.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters, Madon Heung and others did not join in the fun to congratulate the successful premiere, so they mingled among the audience to leave.
Listening to the discussions of the audience around him, McDonald couldn't help but sigh: Mr. Kang's grasp of commercial elements is still so well. The rhythm of this "God of Gambling" is controlled too well, especially the climaxes are driving the climax. It is very anticipated to the audience and it will definitely be a box office hit.
It's Ah, every movie he has made a big hit.
Tsui Hark nodded with emotion. He is the deputy director of "God of Gambling". He was deeply touched by this during the filming, and also learned a lot of use of commercial elements from it.
Kang Jianfei is not proficient in card shuffling techniques.
