Chapter 148： Cool and fun (1/2)

”I want to die in the elegant and spacious passengers, Joshua lying on the X-yi sofa weakly, with a sad look on his face, said:” Jesus! I actually got married like this, and then got divorced like this. ”It's less than a day!” He sighed long and covered his face: ”Why does this kind of thing happen to me? I have more in my resume One, ex-wife ,? I never touched her! ”

”Hahaha ...” Wang Yang sat cross-legged on the side sofa and kept a low laugh, looked at Jessica who came with an ice nose and smiled, ”Scarlett Jackson!” Jessica grinned angrily, handing them two ice packs. (Small ^ said ^ collection ~ reading network)

Wang Yang smiled while applying the ice pack to his forehead. ”Joshua, Scarlett is actually very spicy.” Maybe you just stay together? Don't get divorced. ”

Joshua gritted his teeth and said, ”If that's Johnson!” He covered his ice pack with his eyes and said in a grudge: ”I don't want to live anymore.” I really don't want to live anymore. ”

”I don't know what to say to you two guys!” Jessica smiled and patted Wang Yang's arm, and sat down beside him, saying: ”Fortunately no one was injured.” She looked at the book The tattoo on the Asian arm couldn't help but be amused, and grinned: ”Why am I not a boy? In that case, I can do these crazy things too.”

Joshua Hahadi finally laughed at someone else's authenticity: ”You are a boy, Yang must be a base!” Wang Yang smiled and did not speak; Jessica smiled and smiled, ”So I still make a Girl, do crazy things for girls. ”She smiled and asked curiously:” What the **** did you do last night, how could this be the case? ”

After a night of madness, the four waited until they were awake and lost money to the Caesars Palace Hotel. Joshua used his mobile phone to contact his newlywed wife. After confessing the mistake and divorce a few days later, the four returned to Los Angeles. They were all dizzy and fatigued. Naturally, instead of driving back, they took a dizzy flight for an hour. Wang Yang and Joshua were then carried back to Beverly Hills by the driver. More points, my head still hurt.

Despite the headache, Wang Yang ’s head was very sober, but many of his memories last night were fragmented. He was buried in the long river of memories waiting to be excavated or completely forgotten. He thought with a frown, ”Well, I can only remember one The ministry ..., ... We could not have disclosed the farewell to the bachelor party to the girl, but Jessica is now treating you as our brother. ”

”Thank you!” Jessica clasped her fists bravely and kissed his cheek again, smiling sweetly: ”Brother!” Joshua shouted immediately: ”Don't stimulate me, I can't see anything about love now. Things! Otherwise I'm going crazy. ”Jessica spread her right hand and smiled,” Please. ”

Wang Yang smiled and rolled his eyes, clutching the cool ice pack on his forehead, thinking and laughing, ”Don't you hear that? We arrived in Las Vegas. We started drinking in the hotel room and didn't know how to drink How much regret ..., ... I think when we walked out of the room, all four of us were already drunk, Joshua, right? ”

”I don't know, it should be drunk ...” Joshua also recalled the vague memories pouring in like a tide, said: ”Then we went to the casino” They paid 10,000 chips. ”I remember this number, Because it was only me who paid 500 yuan, **** ... ”Wang Yang nodded:” You said at the time, I want to make a sports car! ”Jessicaha smiled and Joshua sighed without refutation. : ”Yang said that slot machines are deceptive” don't play: Roulette is deceptive ”don't play ... Finally, we all went to play at 21:00. As a result, I and Tom and Zachary were not very lucky, and the money soon I lost. But Yang this guy, I have to admit it! ”He gave a thumbs up and smiled:” He has great gambling, good luck, won a lot of money, and once again Black Jack! Yang! Say you are that ... who? ”

”What?” Wang Yang thought for a while. His head suddenly flashed some memories and smiled: ”Jeff! ”Joshua nodded again and again and smiled:” Yes, yes, Jeff! Then we went out of the hotel ”Prepare to play elsewhere, I don't know why I went to the tattoo shop, in the tattoo shop ...”

He said that he suddenly stopped here and seemed to remember something. Wang Yang also glared, and the two looked at each other, and could not talk to his brother anymore. Wang Yang took the words and said: ”Joshua tattooed the head of Jesus, then” I can't figure it out, my head hurts. He closed his eyes uncomfortably, and Joshua said painfully: ”Me too!” But my heart hurts more ”I don't want to live!”

Jessica nodded indifferently, thinking about what they said just now, and suddenly asked, ”Who is Jeff?” Joshua didn't dare to say surely: ”A novelist? A book that teaches gambling Book? ”Wang Yang could n’t help but smile, and said:“ No, it ’s his real story that was adapted into a novel by Ben Mozridge. At that time, Jeff Ma was a student of MIT, and was going to Harvard Medical School. It turned out that one day, he was drawn into a secret organization, the MIT 21:00 team by two classmates. ”

The members of this group are very talented in digital measurement. ”They study the card counting skills of the points, learn from each other, use calm, high IQ numbers to manipulate the gambling table, and they go to the casino every week for fishing.” Sometimes one night won more than ten thousand dollars, becoming a nightmare in Las Vegas casinos.

Casinos will naturally not be indifferent. ”The technology in the mid-1990s was not so advanced.” Only ordinary monitors; and are these gangs of ordinary gamblers, they always disguise themselves as a variety of people. ” The private detectives they hired played around, and after a long period of time cats and mice catching them, Jeff Yima and others won nearly 10 million dollars, and the private detectives gradually pieced together a few clues and locked them with the monitor. Their identity.

After the package was exposed, Jeff Yima and others were blacklisted by nearly 100 casinos in Las Vegas and even the United States, refusing to let them enter the casino. Although counting cards is not an offence, the court also supported this judgment. . Jeff Yima and others captured Las Vegas and were expelled from the city, but they are all living well now and continue to be elites in other industries. The legends of that year were also published.

”That's it, all casinos are afraid of them, and no one dares to put them in to gamble.” Wang Yang sighed and smiled, ”True prestige!”

Joshua heard quite enthusiastically and excitedly: ”It turns out that it is unbelievable! This is the true story? Cool! I really want to see the expressions of those casino owners at that time, it must be wonderful!” Jessica was a little puzzled. He smiled and asked, ”Well, this is cool! But nobody in those casinos beats them? I don't know” but there will always be them in the movie. ”

”Yes, there are also in the book.” Wang Yang shrugged, of course, to increase the storytelling: ”But not in reality, Jeff said that they have never been treated brutally, but were driven out by casino employees. That ’s it. ”He smiled a little and said again:“ Think about it, all the people are. The genius of ”is not counting cards, it's not an offence, they won't let themselves suffer that kind of loss. In fact, that book has many contents that are different from reality, and there is a professor in the book ...”

In the book ”Capturing Las Vegas”, ”the protagonist Kevin Ru Xiaoyisi can't afford to pay $ 300,000 to Harvard Medical School” fictional: then he was tempted by a MIT professor to join the group, professor Fictional; they were beaten, fictitious ...

”Well.” Jessica nodded while listening, and Joshua suddenly remembered something. ”She stood up and said with joy:” Jan, I seem to remember you said that you want to make it into a movie? Dude, this is definitely a good story! ”Jessica suddenly startled, said:” Yang, really? But you just finished shooting. ”

”I have a lot of time, isn't it? This is really a good story! I will shoot it” not necessarily now ”but I will.” Wang Yang smiled and was very excited. ”I didn't know when this idea was yesterday. It came out, and now it's tied there ”and tied very strongly! He turned to look at Jessica and smiled: ”Sweetheart, can you go to the study to help me get that book?” Capture Las Vegas ”is on the desk, thank you!”

Jessica said OK and got up. Wang Yang thought for a while, and suddenly asked, ”Joshua,” how did you feel when you heard Jeff Ma's story? ”

”Does that need to be said?” Joshua spread his hand in surprise, and said aloud again, ”That's incredible! Cool! I now know that they haven't been beaten, they have a good life.” Cooler Now! You know it ’s unbelievable, but it ’s really happening, a few people messed up all the casinos in Las Vegas, but everyone ca n’t take them, they can still be at ease ”he said with emotion. : ”What kind of people are that? ”

”It's very good, very good!” Wang Yang smiled and clenched his fists, but still felt a little feeble, and said with a smile: ”I think this is the first impression it gives the audience, the expectations given to the audience! This is a core . ”

At this time Jessica walked back with a book and handed it to him. Wang Yang turned and read, and asked, ”Hey, if you were asked to shoot this story, what would you do? What did you shoot?” He just turned a page and said, ”This story can be played The space is very big, and it is okay to make a biographical film of Jeff Yima; it is also okay to make a drama film of several people, serious, serious and funny: even a campus film ... ”

Joshua took off the ice pack and frowned, thinking, ”I don't know, maybe it's made into a funny movie? No no! It doesn't feel right, I'm going to make a cool and exciting movie Jeff, how did they sweep across the casino, and the bosses' bad looks! ”

”Me?” Jessica tilted her head and thought for a moment. ”Let me shoot. I'm likely to win the Golden Sorrel Film Award.

However, I will make a film that is not serious or funny. ”She smiled” and said: ”I am very interested in how they do it? Those card counting skills, as well as the makeup you make, secret words and gestures, I just think this is very interesting.”

”I know, as you wish!” Wang Yang nodded seriously and put his eyes in the book again, laughing: ”I want to think about it for a while.” ”Joshua heard the words and lay down on the sofa, said:” Then I'm sleeping. Jessica yelled and stood up. ”Then I went out to buy something in the supermarket and there is no more food in the refrigerator.” You take care of yourself. ”She said, she picked up the handbag on the coffee table and went outside .

Looking at the book in his hand and thinking about the true story of Jeff Yima, Wang Yang slowly fell into contemplation.

This legendary story can be made into many genres, and he watched a future movie called ”Decision 1 Point” in his mind today when he returned home, which was adapted from this book and this story. That film was made into a feature film, but it was completely messed up. He had to say that the film was mediocre, boring, impatient, and rotten. ”It completely wastes this theme. ...

”Decision 21 points” did not grasp the focus and core of this story, and lost its original features, those that heard the first reaction of this story.

The first is some ”high IQ details”, the way the whole team works, card counting skills, code words, gestures ”and how they tease casinos and play cat and mouse games with private detectives ...” How did they do it? ”But these are all taken lightly in the movie.” The stories on the gaming table were swept away by fast shots. There was no sense of professionalism, no sense of high IQ, and the genius team did not play a role ... the characteristics that originally belonged to this story became Some stiff gimmicks.

It also failed to figure out the positioning of the enemy. There should be only one enemy in the group, that is, the casino, and private detectives fighting against them. Instead of insidious and money-loving professors, it ’s not those boring internal contradictions.

The positioning of the enemy determines the focus and direction of the story, and also decides what the story wants to say. In ”Decision 21,” it may mean that it is not earned, and it is wrong to get rich overnight. ”These are ultimately left behind. Lived, so in the end the professor, the protagonist and the group all lost those money and became ”nothing” people and returned to their original life.

This is the most unbearable! The idea of ​​gambling without pay is wrong, but it does not apply to this story. ”Those people are not gambling, not breaking the law, they are counting cards. They want to show wisdom, not preaching. In fact, they do n’t need to be so complicated.” No need to give this story. Add those heavy things, the more mediocre it becomes, the more it loses its true legend.

The protagonist and others were tricked around by the professor, caught by the security boss of the casino, and finally the protagonist cooperated with the security boss to calculate the professor, and then the security boss calculated, nothing at all ... This is not only a cool question, but not only completely violated The question of what the audience expects from it is simply irritating.

Jeff Yima and the MD team are powerful because ”the attraction of this story is that this is a real magic, they are playing the casino in a mess, they are capturing Las Vegas” they are sweeping away a thousand Ten thousand! Forcing the casino to helplessly blacklist them, the big winners from the beginning to the end are all MIT students.

The core of this story is ”a group of high IQ geniuses conquered Las Vegas, and they laughed to the end.” Those professional and high IQ are all places where it is naturally cool: sweeping casinos, playing private detectives and more ”It's a natural point.” This should be a movie that makes people hooked.
