Chapter 148: Cool and fun

"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.
"I can't do this ..." Wang Yang murmured to himself, and turned over a few more pages. He already had some ideas in his heart. He had to write a cool, professional, and grasp this story. The core script. Obviously this is not a job that can be completed in one or two days. He wants to contact Jeff Yima, Ben Mozridge, some experts and professors who can provide professional help, and private detectives.
But who will play Jeff? Thinking of this problem, "Wang Yang frowned suddenly. In the future" December 21 ", the protagonist became a white man and Campbell, and naturally the white actor starred after the storm. This is another big bad point. . In some related reports, this change has caused great dissatisfaction and protest among the Asian community.
Because in reality, Jeff Ma, nicknamed "Intel Chip", is the most important member of the group to usher in the peak change: the members of the group are also mostly Asians. It is white; there are two Asians in the five-person team, a girl without an image. A boy who is greedy and cheap and likes to steal things. One of the typical Asian screen images is a thief.
The fact that Jeff Yima did not comment on this change also made Asian netizens blame him for being a "racial traitor" and declared that he would not watch this junk movie: Jeff Yima said: "I pay more attention It ’s the talent of an actor.
If the film company casually finds an Asian actor, such as a Japanese or a Korean, to play me, it would be a greater insult. "
This will not happen in his movie. Jeff is a Chinese. The protagonist on the screen must also be a Chinese. If it is an honor to capture Las Vegas with wisdom, then this honor is also Chinese! Why are Chinese people always villains, frivolous and cheap-mouthed people? Even real stories are robbed by white people? If one day later, someone suddenly goes crazy and wants to shoot "Magic Yang", is he also looking for one? The white man?
Unreasonable! Jeff One Horse Club is a new screen image of Chinese people. The positive role is no longer limited to Kung Fu. The Chinese are not only kung fu, but also a handsome, high IQ, and charming MIT genius. This is also what he strongly wants One of the reasons for this story.
In reality, Jeff's horse looks very honest and he is not handsome; but in the movie he must be handsome. Where can he find such a "Jeff one horse"? A tall and handsome man with high IQ genius and good acting skills , Chinese actors who can lead young people? And his English is very good. Although Wang Yang himself can speak Chinese, the actor must interact with other actors and communicate with some of the film crew. These require sufficient English.
The best thing is, "He must be a Chinese-American who grew up in the United States. There are several reasons." The first is the accent. The American accent's actor is more Jeff-Ma and more accepted by the market. The same reason for his identity This is also the case. It can alleviate the arrogance and prejudice of the market to a certain extent: but the more important reason is that a Chinese who is familiar with American culture obviously has a profound understanding of the script, the shaping of the role, and that style.
But where to find it? Wang Yang understands that there is absolutely no way to find it in Hollywood. "There is no Chinese-born star here." It lacks the opportunity and space for Chinese actors to grow and survive; so he can only look to the Greater China region, where there is Chinese soil. " Attract Chinese to go back to development.
Although he is almost 22 years old and has not been to Greater China once,
Wang Yang is no stranger to Hong Kong
because he is watching Hollywood movies on the one hand and grew up watching Hong Kong movies on the one hand. Quentin-Tarrentino is one of the fans. Its film style is also deeply influenced by Hong Kong films.
When he was a kid, he took classes in Nanjing University. "Many Hong Kong films gave him a great shock." The unique lens techniques, such as many eye contact without lines and silent collisions, made him exclaim. Shoot like this! "In the genre of gambling," it can be said that Hollywood and Hong Kong movies are completely two types. Hong Kong movies can always play a part of the professional career very cool, very textured, and penetrate a kind of "authentic" ", The taste, this is worth learning.
Of course, because of the market, cost, and shooting cycle, Hong Kong films have a characteristic that a good film is followed by a pile of bad films until the theme is shot to death.
It has been a long time since Wang Yang has watched Hong Kong films. I haven't figured out if there are any actors suitable for playing Jeff. He shook his head and put the question down temporarily in his heart. "Whispered:" OKPK, think about the heroine first. "In his initial thoughts, the name of the movie was called" The leader of the MD group is no longer a professor, and there will not be a professor. This is not only in line with reality, but also looks cooler: "We are geniuses , Not a group of children brought by the teacher; this is our own idea, no professor is needed. "The captain of this team and this leader fell on the heroine's head. She is a very, very cool big sister, with an excellent IQ, a close mind, a calm mind, and extraordinary leadership ... She is also a leading hero Occupied people.
In the team, she and the actor are both big players, and the other three are card players. The so-called "counters" their job is to be responsible for sitting at a certain gaming table, calculating the cards of this table with the lowest bet in each round, accurately determining when that gaming table will be detrimental to the dealer, and then Let the signal, "big player", come in. Big players have a higher card counting ability, are calm and unaffected by emotions, and are very lucky. Their task is to win money, and the more they win, the better.
Both the card counter and the big players are mobile. When the card at the gaming table is "cold", it is when they change tables.
This cool and crazy big player, a girl with a charm of evil code ... who is suitable? When this question arises in Wang Yang's heart, "the next moment he has the answer, looking at a smiley face emerging in front of him, he murmured:" Natalie-Portman ... Nata Korea! ? "He thought about it for a while and suddenly laughed," Oh God, who else is more suitable than her? " "In terms of the movie itself, Natalie's acting skills are unquestionable, and this role is very suitable for her, almost tailor-made; her identity as a Harvard university student, Queen Amidala, and also has a high IQ big sister screen Persuasion, and appearance.
From the perspective of market considerations, her extremely high popularity as a "national idol" and her unusual status in the hearts of popular fans have greatly helped her. After all, the Chinese male protagonist is a big element of "box office poison". This is not a Kung Fu movie. It is a delusion to want the market to digest and accept it on the other hand: on the other hand, the more the box office sells, the more confidence it can give the market. It ’s not just Kung Fu.
So this movie needs a heroine with a strong market appeal. "So who is more suitable than Natalie-Portman?
Thinking of this, Wang Yang closed the book and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table with great interest. No matter what time it was, he directly dialed the number of Natalie and connected it with a few beeps, he laughed Tao: "Hey, Natalie!"
"Wow!" Natalie shouted in surprise, then said: "Dude, you call me on your own initiative?" This time! Is it a festival today? Happy Natalie? "
Wang Yang smiled and leaned on the sofa, pressing his sore forehead, and said happily: "Do n’t worry about those shit." You have to keep this schedule for me! He thinks about the movie ’s plan, and there are other genre series. Things to do, said: "I don't know the exact time now, it should be after October this year, I need you to join me in a movie, heroine. "
"Hmm ..." Natalie replied involuntarily and said that the corner of her mouth was tilted up to the phone. She dragged her voice and asked, "What kind of movie is that?" "
"Please!" Wang Yang shouted a little impatiently, took a drink of water and took a decision while saying: "No matter what movie you have to agree!" Natalie couldn't help but burst out with a smile. "Uh, uh," the voice said: "Okay, I promised! It ’s definitely not a movie anyway. "Wang Yang pretended to breathe relaxedly and smiled," Hook! " What are you sure of? This time I just want to shoot that. "
Natalie suddenly seemed surprised and said: "Really? Cool! Who is my partner?" Wang Yang smiled, ignoring her question, seriously: "This is actually a movie about high IQ gambling, The name is now "MDTTEAM". Do you play blackjack? Do you know how to count? Jeff one horse? "
"What do you say?" Natalie's voice was full of anger, and said: "Don't you know that many people think that Natalie is an old antique playing chess?" She laughed and said: "21 I have played, but I do n’t know much about card counting and Jeff. "
Wang Yang yelled, and told her some preliminary thoughts and about her character setting. Finally, she laughed and said: "Anyway, these are now. You have time to read the book" Capture Las Vegas "first. "Also understand card counting, you know you are the captain, so cultivate that SS temperament!" Natalie over there smiled: "OK" I will! Magic Yang, can I still get the Oscar nomination this time? "
"Oh, I don't know!" Wang Yang smiled, Oscar? He shrugged: "Maybe. There are not so many award winning elements in this role, but you can do well, maybe you have a chance." Natalie's tone became indifferent again, saying: "Just do it! But dude , I know I have another bucket of popcorn award in my bedroom. "
And she said a few words without saying a word to her. "He ended the call to confirm the selection of the heroine of" MDTTEAM ". He threw the phone happily and took it steadily. He said with a smile:" Get it! "
At this time, with a cough, Joshua, who was lying on the main sofa, sat up and looked at Wang Yang without blinking his eyes. "Two fingers nodded and crossed my eyes," Ye said broadly: "Yang , I'm staring at you! "Wang Yang looked at him and smiled:" Scarlett-Jackson. "Joshua flicked back suddenly and took a deep breath; Wang Yang repeated the sentence" Scar "Li Yi Jackson", Joshua screamed and gritted his teeth, "Scarlett, Jackson", he screamed: "You say it again, I will kill myself immediately!"
"Hahaha" Wang Yang burst into unscrupulous laughter, silently chanting "Jackson" lip to him. "Joshua hurriedly closed her eyes" to change the subject and said: "Are you really going to make that movie? "
Wang Yang smiled and nodded: "Of course" you give me a reason not to shoot? "He took the drinking glass and drank it. Clear water, moistened dry throat," said: "But that movie should take its time, the script and sub-lens should be carefully considered; and before that, I will shoot another one. the film,."
Joshua opened his eyes violently and was surprised: "There is another one? Wow, really like the newspaper, that high-speed magical Yang is coming back?" He threw his fist in excitement, laughing: ", You are cooler than Jeff! What is the story of this movie? Drunk? "
"What we did yesterday." Wang Yang smiled, and Joshua froze for a moment. "What do you mean?" Wang Yang spread his hands with a smile on his face, and said: "It was yesterday's thing. A man wants to get married, and then bid farewell to being single. Party, the story of four men running to Las Vegas and getting drunk and crazy. Imagine that after we woke up this morning, Tom was gone, but the wedding would be held in a day! What should we do? We have to find Tom! "
He picked up the ice bag next to it and hit Joshua, and continued to laugh: "But you saw that the three of us were so drunk that we couldn't remember exactly what happened last night, so we have to follow the clues a little bit To restore the truth of the crazy night, a lot of crazy things continue to happen in the middle.
Finally, I found Tom, and the wedding was successfully completed. That's it. "
"What do you mean?" Joshua frowned questioningly, and said, "You mean that I will get married on the big screen?" Wang Yang laughed a few times before he nodded. :"Yes, of course! This is one of the contents, so interesting! Also, there will be card counting in there, by the way, Jeff took them. I think this is the first marketing of "MDTTEAM". In the future promotion, I don't have to worry so much about explaining what is called card counting. "
Joshua was not interested in publicizing but not publicizing. He only knew that this would publicize his marriage! He gasped breathlessly and said, "No, Yang! You can't do that, what movies will do that! ? incredible! "
& nbā board, sincerely said: "Joshua, do you know? I want to play hard this time!"
Most of last year ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he was entangled with some sad things; in order to better grasp the story, he was a little too deep in the whole process of shooting, lonely suppressed the sadness "his mood It ’s always bad, bad ... And last night ’s indulgence really gave him a chance to vent, he already remembered
pushing the sofa down, smashing the TV, and messing up the entire presidential suite
... ... this is all his credit.
This also gave him a strong desire to continue to play like this, making a funny movie! No matter how much shit, it's just for fun and funny!
"Can I get rid of my marriage?" Joshua still asked a little bit unwillingly. "When Wang Yang shook his head, he immediately wailed and gritted his teeth:" I will commit suicide now, I will commit suicide now! " "At this time, Jessica carrying a bag of two things came in. When she heard her brother's words, she smiled and asked," What's wrong with you? " "Joshua wiped her eyes without tears and said sadly:" It's time to ask what happened to your boyfriend! " He wants to make another funny movie, why! "
Wang Yang shrugged with a smile and said seriously: "Why? I think it will scare a lot of people, they will scold" Damn Wang Yang, he was deceived by him, watching this movie is uncomfortable "OK, then let Let ’s make them happy with a funny movie! Well, this is a joke. "He smiled and said," Actually, "I found that I fell in love with Las Vegas. "
