Well, I'll show you a hand! God of Gamblers
There is a famous saying: art comes from life, but it is higher than life.
Hong Kong's gambling films should be very much in line with the essence of this sentence, because there are really gambling kings in reality, and there are really many people who gamble for a living.
Many viewers are relishing the classic gambling films represented by "God of Gamblers", "Gamblers" and "Gamblers". However, the audience remembers more about the personal style of the God of Gamblers and Gamblers, the thrilling on the gambling table, and various funny bridges.
I don't necessarily remember how rich the protagonist of the gambling film, the gambling god gambler, gambles the saints.
In 1990's "Gambler", Andy Lau and Stephen Chow worked together for the first time, and the gambler and the gambler joined forces to break into the gambling world.
When gambling saint appeared, he told the third uncle that there were three major precepts for special functions, and the money won by gambling with special functions could only be used for charity and could not be spent.
The first time you break the vows, you will be unlucky, the second time you will throw yourself on the street, and the third time you will die. Then, they performed a street fight on the spot.
Because I broke the vows once in "Gamble Saint", I was beaten on the spot, which was considered unlucky. Breaking the vows again is the third time, who dares?
The gambler returned to Hong Kong and told his former brother that 95% of the money he won should be used for charity, and only 5% could go into his pocket. Therefore, the economic situation of gamblers is also very general.
In the end, they came up with a trick: the gambler lost the money won outside to the gambler, and then the gambler used the money to relieve the gambler, so...
Then cut a shot of the God of Gamblers appearing and tell them: You think too much!
The gamblers and gamble saints are so poor, so what about the economic situation of their master gambling gods?
Released in 1989, "God of Gamblers", played by Zhou Runfa, the god of gamblers Gao Jin, most of the time because of head trauma, in a state of amnesia and low intelligence, his wife was also killed by the villain first and then raped.
However, the god of gambling is very rich, and in the end, he can rely on his financial resources and strength to reverse and take revenge.
The first scene in the opening scene of "God of Gamblers" is that the god of gambling is recognized in the American casino, and the manager comes forward to lower his bet and force him to discount and leave on the spot.
According to casino computer information, the god of gambling has long been on the global casino blacklist.
Therefore, the god of gambling can only participate in some private gambling games; it also proves that he has already made enough money from the major casinos, and never more than a thousand.
The next stop in Japan played a few hands to win $500,000, and then Japan helped the god of gambling avenge him and deal with singaporean gambling king Chen Jincheng.
Then, the god of gambling won nine million yuan in a private gambling game in Hong Kong, and began to alarm the power of the gambling demon Chen Jincheng and officially entered the game.
However, due to an accident, the god of gambling lost his memory, and Andy Lau played by Chen Daozai and his girlfriend Wang Zuxian appeared on the scene for more than an hour; until the god of gambling recovered his sanity and entered the gambling boat arranged by Chen Jincheng on the high seas.
The strategy of the god of gambling is to deliberately lose first, sell flaws, and let the opponent relax his vigilance; then pretend to be angry and corrupt, and take out his assets to let go.
At the table, there were already more than twenty million dollars in cash; then the god of gambling took out a Swiss bank promissory note, worth $30 million, and even the see-through contact lenses in his eyes were worth $110,000.
This is far from the entire property of the god of gambling, because it is not yet the point of gambling wealth.
In "The Gambler", the gambler who followed the god of gambling for a year returned from Las Vegas, when the god of gambling settled in Brazil.
It was 5 years after the time of "God of Gamblers 2", and God of Gamblers has retired and enjoyed life in France. He lives in France on a large estate surrounded by green trees, with thousands of square meters of lawn in front of the door, and the woods behind the house can run horses.
This time, the opponent was a ruthless man, a vendetta of the East Lake Gang in Taiwan Province.
He swallowed a gambling veteran Mr. Zhu Lao's $1.6 billion charitable fund, and also won the gambling demon Chen Jincheng after his release from prison, and even lost both hands and was chopped off. Coupled with his own East Lake Gang's power, he had at least $2 billion in assets; the fake Zhang Baocheng asked for $50 million, and he didn't blink an eye.
Finally, in the showdown at the Tainan underground casino, both sides had $100 million in cash at the beginning.
Soon, The Gambler's $100 million was lost.
Dragon Five and Donghu help Begonia (played by Qiu Shuzhen) and help him raise another 100 million. The god of gambling pretended to be nervous and inaccurate, and in anger, he took out all his property to gamble his wealth, and successfully introduced the vendetta who thought he had the help of superior people into the game.
The god of gambling never came out of a thousand, and the reason why he could become a god of gambling was all due to strong psychological tactics and careful layout.
The innings in "God of Gamblers" have been laid out for more than half a year, and the habit of touching jade rings is deliberately added; the innings of "God of Gamblers 2" have been laid out for a whole year, and the magician who pretends to be Zhang Baocheng is also part of his layout.
The all god of gambling is worth: a billion-dollar New York business center, three properties worth half a billion Dollars in Paris, Los Angeles and Tokyo, and a batch of stocks.
On the spot, the license was sealed, and a number of international accountants immediately accounted for it and recognized the property valuation of the god of gambling.
In the end, the god of gamblers completes the ultimate reversal, a game to determine the victory and defeat, revenge and hatred.
The $1.6 billion charity fund embezzled by Qiu Xiaoyi will not be wanted by the god of gambling, but the cash on the table can certainly be taken away. At the same time, they avenged themselves and the East Lake Gang, and the East Lake Gang took back the power of Tainan, and everyone was very happy.
At this time, the god of gambling has long since returned to the hidden rivers and lakes, and his comeback is only for revenge, and his ambition is not in money.
So, at the end of God of Gamblers 2 in 1994, God of Gamblers' property, at least $1.5 billion worth of real estate, plus over $100 million in cash.
At that time, there were more than 1 billion US dollars, and now it is worth at least 20 billion, and the global Forbes rich list can enter the top 100 tycoons.
Such a god of gambling, who is in contention with?
