Who is Gambler? Stephen Chow? This horror is afraid of the answer of most people, Zhou Xingchi's gambling saint is indeed a generation of classics, clapping cards, all kinds of blindfold methods emerge in an endless stream, can not use special functions to obtain ill-gotten gains and other settings are eye-catching, imaginative, even in the away battle of the "Gambler" is also noisy, robbing Andy Lau of the protagonist aura.
In fact, the gambling saint is not only Zhou Xingchi, Wang Jing after seeing the box office success of the "Gambling Saint" movie, respectively selected a number of actors to play the role of the gambling saint, including the street gambling Saint Ge Minhui, the nameless gambling Saint Zhang Jiahui, but no matter who starred can not reach the height of Zhou Xingchi. The orthodox "Gamble Saint" has a total of 3 parts, namely "Gamble Saint", "Gamble Saint 2: Street Gamble Saint", "Gamble Saint 3: Anonymous Gamble Saint", but it is really a classic or the first one, and since Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jing parted ways, Wang Jing started another stove, summoned the original team of "Gamble Saint", and filmed "Gamble Saint 2" in 1995, but the audience did not buy it, if this movie is not called "Gamble Saint", it is also a qualified comedy.
Let's take a look at the !!! of "Gamble Saint 2: Street Gamble Saint".
The second World Gambling King Competition is about to be launched, the gambling masters of various countries are rubbing their fists and vowing to win the championship, especially the Macau representative Lei Tai (Lin Guobin) is the most eye-catching, the so-called tree is big, the bird is big and stewed, and Lei Tai can only temporarily avoid the limelight. In order to hide his eyes, he decided to create another masked bet on the saint to distract everyone.com.
At the same time, since the separation from the gambling saint Zuo Songxing, the third uncle who lives a sloppy life goes to the Tenjin Village to find the successor of the gambling saint, although the people in the village have special functions but few can be used in the casino, at this time the third uncle found a young man named Ag, not only can make the object ten times larger, but also read the other party's psychology through contact, is this not the best baby that God rewarded himself?
The third uncle brought Ag to Hong Kong. While playing, Ag fell in love with a beautiful woman at first sight, and this beauty was Raytai's girlfriend.
In order to quickly train Ag to become a gambling saint, the third uncle brought Ag into the mahjong poker game, Ag quickly sensed the psychology of the other party through physical contact, one needed to win money to treat the old father, one needed to treat the son, Ag touched the third uncle with his foot finger, the third uncle only wanted to win the money to the wind and moon place left and right hug, the conscience of the condemned Ag deliberately lost to two card friends.
The leak in the house happened to rain overnight, and the two who had just lost the poker game were targeted by the ancient puzzle boy who was chasing the gambling debt, and during the escape, Ag picked up a copy of the "Dragon Ball" comic book from the roadside stall, turned a few glances and learned Tranx's move, and solved the debt collector by dividing two by three. The third uncle also knew that Ag had the ability to learn quickly.
Under the leadership of the debt collector, Ag and the third uncle met the boss behind the scenes - Thai Haoji, the hot Haoji not only surging in her chest but also not idle people, the reason why she can rise in the gambling world is because she will be hypnotic. As long as Ag can win Haoji, the gambling debt will be written off.
The two decide the winner by betting on dice points, and Ag uses his superpower to see Haoji's dice and guess the points correctly. This impressed Howe.
Just out of Haoji, Ag suddenly had a premonition that the beautiful woman (fate) he met that day would encounter danger, he took the third uncle to search for the memory to find the fate, with the cooperation of several people, repelled the assassin's assassination, Leitai watched this sand-like young man use special functions, and warmly invited him to his home.
Since Ag and the third uncle moved into Leitai's house, Leitai has been in constant trouble, either hit by a car, or knocked down by a chain ball, and smashed by a flower pot (this may be the most unfortunate role played by Lin Guobin), but even if Ag does wrong, Leitai is patient. At the recommendation of Leitai, Ag wore a mask to participate in the International Gambling King Competition, and was praised by the audience as a masked gambler because of his unique shape.
In fact, Leitai has long been noticed by the international police, Andryu Five's younger brother Ryuchi found Ag and told him the true purpose of Ryota: Ryotae united with the Yamaguchi group of Japan to manipulate the outer market of the World Gambling King Competition, and his single-minded desire to win Ag's goal was to defeat Ag in the final and win the championship, so as to use his fame to open an illegal casino.
Dragon Seven told Ag the truth, which caused Lei Tai to kill, Lei Tai sent out a big mouth dog (Cheng Kui'an) who didn't eat enough, but the big mouth dog force value was the lowest in the whole film, and he was easily killed by Ag and Xiao Long in a few clicks, creating a classic defeat for Cheng Kui'an's villain career.
Fate sees The true face of Ray Tai, she and Xiaolong escape from Ray Tai's residence with Ag, and when the two embrace each other according to the rhythm of the love story, Ag learns through contact with Fate's body that she does not like herself.
It turned out that he thought too much, and the disheartened Ag left the fate alone, but received the message that the fate was kidnapped while waiting for the ship.
When he came to the fate of the place of death, Ag knew that this was the trap set by Leitai, fate was not kidnapped, Gu Qiuzai fought superpowers, Andrei, who was familiar with the art of war, used the tactics of the sea of people to surround Ag, did not give him the opportunity to use superpowers, fortunately Fate arrived in time, but in the end because of Leitai sneak attack, the two were locked up in the ice cellar. And in the ice cellar, Fate felt Ag's sincerity towards her.
Xiaolong and Dragon Seven rushed to save the two in the ice cellar, and inspired by fate, Ag Chong put on his battle robes and participated in the competition.
In order to cope with Ag's superpowers, Lei Tai had long been prepared, he moved the isolator, Ag was bounced back no matter how he played, under the inspiration of the third uncle, Ag tried to change the card, but did not want to change The card of Lei Tai, and finally won the game.
"Gamble Saint 2: Street Gamble Saint" still has a lot of brilliant places, such as Thai Haoji who can use hypnosis, Wu Mengda's hot eyes women's clothing style, ge Minhui's Tranx cosplay style are all hilarious.
It is not difficult to see in the gambling film we shot after Wang Jing, he has been asking to go to Zhou Xingchihua, and the lineup of "Gamble Saint 2: Street Gambling Saint" cannot be described as luxurious: Lin Guobin, Qiu Shuzhen, Shi Xiaolong, Wu Mengda, Zhen Zidan, Peng Dan, Cheng Kui'an, basically can be described as the stars holding the moon, and anyone who plays normally can walk in the clouds.
But Ge Minhui only performed stupid, but did not perform a show, the audience is difficult to compare him with the ex-gambling saint (Chow Sing Chi), compared with Chow Sing Chi's handsome appearance, Ge Minhui looks too passerby, and the acting skills are too crazy, only senseless, no head, annoying, after this Ge Minhui although he also took over the film "The Last Bodyguard of the Governor of Hong Kong", "Buy Murder" and other films, but it is difficult to set off too much waves.
Wang Jing has always been known for the high prolific of the film, because Ge Minhui did not succeed, he also praised Zhang Jiahui, filmed a number of gambling films, the most well-known is "The King of a Thousand Kings 2000", which in order to attract popularity to find Xingye to play Zhang Jiahui, the result of the audience's eyes were all snatched away by Xingye, and At the same time, Zhou Xingchi also broke with Wang Jing because of the role and remuneration problems, creating more stories in the world.
Don't envy what Marvel universe abroad, Wang Jing has long been working on gambling films for a long time, and gambling films have formed a standard story mode: the protagonist has unlimited scenery, amnesia caused by being framed by villains (downfall), and reinvigorated after being inspired by well-meaning people (heroines) during the period of disaster.
This standardized story model has been tried and tested, and Wang Jing can be described as a light car, but due to the highly repetitive storyline, the audience's aesthetic fatigue has been caused.
Let's list the characters in the gambling film in turn:
God of Gamblers - Gao Jin (Zhou Runfa)
Gambler - Chen Xiaodao (Andy Lau)
Gambling Saint - Zuo Songxing (Zhou Xingchi)
Gambler - Youxi (Zheng Yuling)
Gambling Demon - Chen Jincheng (Bao Hanlin)
Magician - Shi Yijian (Zhou Runfa)
Not to mention the young god of gambling, the gambling demon Yoshiko Hussein, and even Guo Jin'an's "Que Sheng" and others, it can be said that this series of god of gamblers movies is intertwined into a huge network of relationships, so that the audience remembers all kinds of gambling masters, but also for the richness of the god of gambling story line. It's still evocative today.
Gambling films were very popular in the 80s and 90s, but with the collective decline of Hong Kong films, gambling films have also become synonymous with boring comedies, which is lamentable.
A movie a story, I am a fork, like just follow me!
