Familiar Zhou Yunfa, unfamiliar "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers"

Author of this article: Li Xiaotian

For work reasons, he began to reside in Zhuozhou after the year. Seeing that it was the weekend, I asked the people in the same office how the "Wang Luobin's Former Residence" was and where they wanted to go to see it.

As a result, the young people in the office asked in unison: "Who is Wang Luobin?" ”

This surprised me, and then I hummed a few words on the spot: "In that distant place, there is a good girl, and people walk through her yurt, and they have to look back nostalgically..."

As a result, there was still no response, and they all said that they had not heard of it and had not heard of it.

Well, even the hometown people do not know about local celebrities, let alone what "western singers", I had to shut up.

Think about it, even Sun Yanzi, a former generation of divas, has become an unpopular singer in the eyes of the post-00s.

There is nothing more to say.

Time, like a rolling torrent, will drown everything. The once majestic high hills will also become muddy and disappear under the torrent.

The brother Fa in "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers" rarely presents the appearance of the peak period, like the sequel to "Autumn Fairy Tale", or "Alang" is alive, flowing long hair, unruly face, dashing posture, that is the once familiar Zhou Yunfa.

However, "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers" not only has a poor box office performance, but also has a broken reputation, and the overall performance is so poor that people can't bear to look at it directly.

It can only be said that the audience of Brother Fa is still the 70/80 group of people, but these people are now old and young, and they are no longer the mainstream of the cinema, and even if they want to watch it, they don't have so much time and energy to enter the cinema. And the main force of the cinema is 00, and the Zhou Yunfa in his/their minds has already passed, where is there any "gambling god"?

Therefore, "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers", which focuses on emotional cards, seems to have become a wrong work with a misplaced market. It should have its own audience, but those audiences don't go to the cinema.

The theme of "The Prodigal Son Turns Back" pays attention to a "father's love is like a mountain", and there is nothing wrong with the main story line of "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers", but, alas, it is difficult to say enough.

If you have to say that the problem of "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers", it is actually very simple. It is not enough to fill the sense of feelings, not to do enough.

The brother in the film, when he was young, was a punk and dominated the side, but when he was middle-aged, he only lived in a barbershop, lived with several little brothers, and went to the casino from time to time to gamble.

When his ex-girlfriend suddenly sent a half-sized son with autism to him, he refused at first, but in the day and night with his son, he gradually discovered himself, and his father's love began to awaken, and finally became a responsible and honest man.

The story is very vulgar and indiscriminate, but Brother Fa acted very well, and it is still the same as it was at the beginning.

Vaguely, it was still the handsome and ruffian Ah Lang who was with Zhang Aijia at the beginning, pushing the motorcycle and rushing forward shakily; Or the bow ruler who fell in love with Zhong Chuhong, still gambling, still fighting, still sloppy; is still such a small person, it is heart-wrenching to watch, and inexplicably likes him ...

However, these points, the post-00s can't get it at all, because they haven't seen it at all.

It is equivalent to the fact that a piece of Chicheng of Zhou Yunfa suddenly became a wrong payment, and it all became self-inflicted.

Of course, only one Chow Yun-fat is not enough. They, he/she doesn't perform well.

Yuen Yongyi, a former goddess, won the Academy Award for Best Newcomer in 1993 with "Yafei and Yaji", and then won the film queen in 1994 with "New Can't Please", and then in 1995 with "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" and another city, three awards in three years, and the limelight was unmatched. Tall size, big eyes, and simple eyes have made Yuen Yongyi the dream lover in the minds of many post-80s generations.

Time has passed, Yuen Yongyi, as the female number one, has not had any works for a long time, even if it is the main supporting role, it is difficult to see the figure.

In "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers", Yuen Yongyi was invited back, but the pleats obviously grew in the corners of the eyes, and the goddess was visibly old.

The goddess will be old, but together with the acting skills, it will also age, and Yuan Yongyi here will only be a tool person, and there is not much sense of existence. Find her to act, in fact, it is better to find Zhang Aijia or Zhong Chuhong, the effect should be slightly better. At the very least, the feelings will be deeper.

In addition, there are two old drama bones Liao Qizhi and Fang Zhongxin, but unfortunately there is not much room for acting skills. Especially Liao Qizhi, who has been dead for a year, finally appeared again on the big screen, it is said that it is very dramatic, it is worth remembering, but it is not, and the feelings that should be used are not used, which is a pity.

Finally, there is one of the biggest reasons, which is the ebb of the aura of Hong Kong films.

In the past, Hong Kong movies were a place that Hollywood had to look up to, and Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong movie stars also had their own halo. However, in the past two years, Hong Kong people have made a fuss, coupled with the rising GDP of the mainland, the mainlanders' views on Hong Kong people have changed as a whole, and Hong Kong movies have completely faded. This is very important, and it is also a major reason why young people were not interested in Hong Kong films at that time. Unless the story is very good, there is no longer a market for simple literary films.

Even Hollywood movies are no longer popular in the mainland market, so how can Hong Kong films dominate the list.

"Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers", which has been screened at night for four years, has actually missed too much. Step by step, step by step, yellow cauliflower is cold.
