Stephen Chow's 17th film - "The Gambler"
Starring Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Wu Mengda, Zhang Min, Xiang Huaqiang, Chen Farong, Cheng Kui'an, Zhou Runfa...
Looking at the title, you know that it is also a gambling film.
If you want to understand the past and present lives of this movie, you must do your homework and go to see the other two movies - "Gamblers" and "God of Gamblers". Because "Gambler" can be called the sequel to these two movies, Star Ye and Hua Tsai, the spark that collides has another flavor.
It is said that the knife played by Andy Lau, after becoming the apprentice of the god of gambling, learned ninety percent of the gambling skills, and the jianghu was nicknamed "gambler".
With apprentices to assist in his own career, the god of gambling often haunts and travels all over the world.
Therefore, the gambling saint A Xing, played by Xingye, although it has special functions, belongs to the left side of the door, and wants to worship the gambling god as a teacher and make his gambling skills go to a higher level. Helplessly, he did not know the whereabouts of the God of Gamblers.
So Ah Xing and Uncle Da wanted to visit the master through the introduction of the gambling god's apprentice gambler.
At first, everyone was not familiar with it, and the apprentice naturally did not casually tell the master's whereabouts.
The so-called no fight and no acquaintance, the contest between the gambling saint and the gambler, of course, is a real gun actual battle bet to speak.
The bet between Xingye and Hua Tsai was very exciting, and the action of playing cards was handsome. The two have their own strengths and weaknesses, and this section can be described as a hundred and tireless.
The plot behind is even more exciting.
The love between Ah Xing and Meng Luo, played by Zhang Min;
Ah Xing and Uncle Da, for the sake of Mengluo, became love enemies, and this section is also one of the laughs of the film. In particular, Uncle Da did not come back all night, and Ah Xing did not sleep all night, holding things that he did not know whether it was a night pot, singing a song of the night, and quarreling with the knife and not sleeping well;
There are also Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Farong playing dragon five dragon nine who are strong in martial arts and superb in marksmanship;
The gambling saint gambler joined forces and deceived the big mouth nine played by Cheng Kui'an. Finally, the climax is to deal with the fake gambler who destroys the reputation of the god of gambling, as well as an army with special functions. Ah Xing hit the illusion of the army, holding the thigh of the beautiful woman, and the army also hit the illusion of A Xing, dressing up as a woman to dance...
Watch the whole film, interesting and funny, from the beginning to the end.
It is worthy of being directed by Wang Jing, although there is a reference to Liu Zhenwei's "Gamble Saint".
However, "Gamble Saint" is also a second innovative work of Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers". The two were evened.
Many of Star Ye's martial arts moves imitate his idol, Mr. Bruce Lee, the roar he makes, and the double stick he plays... The most adorable and classic image is still the shot of him striding out of the door with lip prints on his face, charming and handsome...
Some people say that although this movie is based on Hua Tsai's gambler as the core of the character, the appearance of Xingye's gambling saint is more attractive to the audience's attention.
Think about it, it's a little. However, to tell the truth, Hua Tsai's performance is really not bad, this revisit specially watched his role, whether it is the expression, or the action of the play, are very well performed.
This film is the first cooperation between Xingye and Hua Tsai, and the second cooperation "TrickSter Expert" is even more ridiculous.
No wonder Hua Tsai was asked in the interview who he liked to shoot with the most. He said that he liked Stephen Chow the most, it was very fun and fun, and he wanted to laugh every time he saw him.
Watching Star Ye's movie, it is indeed very happy. But compared to before, it is no longer just happy. In addition to feeling the sadness behind the laughter, more details will be paid attention to as a whole.
Take this film, for example, although it is a hip-hop, hilarious gambling film, it also has a very profound educational significance.
For example, none of the money they earn from gambling can be used privately. If the God of Gamblers wins 10 yuan, they can only use 5 cents, and the rest must be used for charity. The money won by Star Master with special functions cannot be spent, and it will be unlucky to spend it. In the opening scene, Uncle Da used it, and the uncles and nephews pounced on the street.
This tells a very simple truth, there is no unearned gain in the world, there is no shortcut in life, and a free lunch may be eaten by chance, but not for a lifetime.
Or rely on your own hands to create your own wealth in a down-to-earth manner.
When we begin to get rid of our expectations of others, when we no longer pin our fate on others, when we really want to fight for a goal, you will find that your potential is unlimited, and you have done a lot of things if you are not careful.
There is only one sense of security in this world, and that is your own unique work.
Look at the God of Gamblers Gambler Saint Gamblers, is the posture of playing cards handsome? Isn't it charming? Don't you like it very much across the screen?
Because they all have their own unique skills, let you feel the powerful aura, feel the energy of self-confidence and happiness.
In fact, everyone needs such a unique work, needs to retreat without distraction, needs to continuously infuse your enthusiasm, and needs to be simple and focused like Jobs.
Only in this way can we live vigorously and energetically, so that we will not be anxious from time to time, so that we will not go with the flow, and we will not be arbitrarily manipulated by fate.
This is the real shortcut to life. It takes everyone to look for it, and after finding it, it is nothing more than day after day, year after year, until it is practiced. Relying on opportunism, relying on the side door, relying on the sense of security given by others, is not a long-term solution.
Because you can't predict the day when all of a sudden everything changes, the day you have nothing.
Without something to lean over without its own core, how to have the confidence to walk through the unknown journey.
It is often said in the diary that practicing the core skills is simple and not simple. That is, if anyone spends ten years and concentrates on doing one thing, like Dabao Tianjian, insists on it, will become a top talent.
The same is true of the path of watching Xingye's life - eight years of acting skills.
Time is like a net, where you sprinkle, there will be harvest.
Why do we worship a person?
Because pretty handsome? Because of wealth? I think it's more about that person's talent, that person's charisma, that person's perseverance and patience.
Therefore, idols deserve to be worshipped and embraced, they pay more, create greater value for society, and naturally get more.
If ordinary people have their thinking, have their patience, no matter how small things, pull the long axis, can become the king of that field.
But most people lose on the quick fix, it is best to ascend to the sky in one step, it is best to see the results first.
The good fortune of life is because of persistence before there is hope. Instead of having absolute hope before insisting.
When, when we don't care about gains and losses, just pay with one heart, and ask ourselves how to create greater value for society, perhaps, the sun will shine in.
Heartless willows lined with willows, the most surprising and charming.
