Gambling film is an important genre of Hong Kong films, director Wang Jing is known as the king of gambling films, gambling gods, gamblers, gambling demons are all produced in his hands. From the 1976 Shaw film "The Great Deception of the Gambling King", to Wang Jing's "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Masters", to Liu Zhenwei's gambling saints, Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers" and "Gambler", to Du Qifeng's "Supreme Eternal Domination of the World", and then to the "Macau Storm" in recent years, the gambling film can be said to have never been broken.
1. Zhou Runfa, the god of gambling
Wang Jing started with gambling films, and naturally felt that gambling films could continue to be extraordinarily high. In 1990, Zhou Runfa, a box office medicine at the time, created "God of Gamblers", creating another classic role of Fa Ge. The god of gamblers comes in and out of the game with BGM, domineering and invincible. At the same time, the big back has also become his signature hairstyle, and throughout the Hong Kong film industry, only wan Ziliang and Deng Guangrong's big back can compete with one.
In "God of Gamblers 3", Dawn starred as Gao Jin in his youth, revealing why Gao Jin likes to eat chocolate. Dawn and Fa Ge are a very good pass, both have the temperament of the god of gambling.
2. Bet on Saint Zhou Xingchi
Zhou Xingchi went from Star Boy to Star Ye, and then the star path was smooth, becoming the king of comedy in the hearts of movie fans. "Gamble Saint" and the late Star Ye works contrast, nonsense is still a little unnatural, to the back of the more skilled, and Uncle Da's golden pair across the world, until now fans hope that the two can be together again.
Later, Ge Minhui imitated Xingye in "Gambling Saint 2 Street Gambling Saint", and there were Uncle Da, Qiu Shuzhen, Shi Xiaolong, and Zhen Zidan to play for him, but there was only one gambling saint, and others could not learn.
3. Andy Lau, a gambler
After Xingye became a popular fried chicken, Wang Jingmahara he and Andy Lau starred in "Gambler", from the name point of view, it is obvious that and the gambler Andy Lau is the protagonist, helpless Star Ye is too dazzling, the limelight has been robbed by him. The funniest thing is that the two fooled the fool in the gambling stall, and any time they think of surrendering and losing half of it, they will laugh for a while.
Later, Wang Jing created "Gambler 1999" and "Gambler vs Las Vegas" for Hua Tsai, and the gambler at this time had more calm and was no longer impulsive like a knife.
4. Gambler Chen Jincheng
The gambling demon Chen Jincheng is played by Bao Hanlin, known as Uncle Bao in the jianghu, and the first part of "God of Gamblers" and Fa Ge are pit in prison. In "Gambler", the son is too stupid to avenge him, and the cruel vendetta in "God of Gamblers 2" actually cut off his hand.
Bao Hanlin starred as Wang Zuxian's father in "Working Emperor" and Guan Zhilin's father in "The Whole Trick Expert", each of which is a goddess-level figure.
5. Gambling bully Zheng Yuling
"Gambler" was completely filmed with the momentum of Xingye's "Gambling Saint", and Xingye also made a cameo in friendship at the end. This film is a double heroine mode, an old Qian Zheng Yuling who will not have a special function and Mei Yanfang with a special function, it is worth watching as a whole, and it is also worthwhile to make a cameo at The Star Master alone.
6. Gambling King Chen Tingwei
The front is all above the movie, and the last gambling king Chen Tingwei is the TV series "Winner is King" series. Shi Zhikang is like the male protagonist in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, gifted, meets nobles, and then upgrades all the way to fight monsters, and finally becomes a gambling king. Chen Tingwei's temperament is also more in line with it, and his favorite thing to do when he was a child is to learn how to play playing cards in a fancy way.
Good gambling films are all in the 80s and 90s, and today's "Macau Storm" has nothing new to say except for a strong lineup, even if there is a god of gambling, a gambler, and a dragon five. Since Wang Jing can shoot "Chasing the Dragon", we still have reason to believe that he can make a good gambling film, after all, he was once the king of gambling films!
