"Hahaha, 'Big Mouth-Nine' had no idea that this amnesiac guy was actually the God of Gamblers! This is hilarious!"
"Not only did 'Big Mouth-Nine' not know, but even 'Knife-Zai' didn't know. Now both of them are dumbfounded..."
"The God of Gamblers' signature move, the 'Three-in-a-Row,' is undeniably incredibly powerful in crucial moments."
"Wow, this is quite a plot twist! I'm truly impressed by Director Xu, I'm really impressed!"
...
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the plot has reached the point where 'Knife-Zai' takes 'Ko-Chin' to 'Big Mouth-Nine' to gamble.
Because 'Knife-boy' didn't know 'Ko-Chin's' true identity at this time, his original plan was to swindle money from 'Big Mouth-Nine' and use a fake check to pay off his horse racing bets...
Who knew that on the table, although 'Gao-Jin' had lost his memory, his gambling skills were like muscle memory; with a flick of his wrist, a three appeared out of nowhere.
Now, 'Knife-Zai', 'Big Mouth-Nine', and everyone around them were dumbfounded.
Originally, 'Knife-Zai' wanted to leave immediately, but unfortunately 'Big Mouth-Nine' wouldn't let them go, saying he wanted to take another gamble.
Two people draw a card and bet on whether it's big or small.
'Big Mouth-Nine' had terrible luck and drew a three. Who knew that 'High-Chancellor' would laugh out loud after seeing his own card and say that he had won again.
At this point, 'Knife-Zai' thought he had won, but when 'Ko-Chin' threw out his cards, he found that it was a two.
The twist came so quickly that the audience's attention was immediately drawn back in:
"You could say that joy turns to sorrow, hahaha, even 'Knife-Zai' was dumbfounded. Who knew 'Ko-Chin' had a two!"
"That 'Big Mouth-Nine' over there has the exact same expression. He thought he was going to lose for sure, but who knew..."
"Now 'Knife-Zai's' plan has failed. He neither managed to swindle 'Big Mouth-Nine' out of his money, nor has he won anything."
"Hehe, I can only say that you underestimated Director Xu's abilities. Let's keep watching, I don't think this matter is over yet."
...
"Huh, there really is a story behind it. How did 'Big Mouth-Nine' catch up again?"
"Holy crap, this actually works! There's another twist after another; they actually won the horse racing bet."
"It was an unexpected stroke of luck. Nobody expected it, right? We won outright. But 'Big Mouth-Nine' really took too much of the winnings."
"It's fine, since it's a fake check anyway. We've basically gotten these tens of thousands of dollars for free, so there's no loss."
...
In the screening room, the audience's emotions rose and fell with the plot, and from this point of view, the film can already be considered a success.
At this moment, two young ladies wearing large sunglasses were also laughing so hard they were bent over, and it took them a while to stop laughing.
Lin Xiaoxin whispered:
"Hey, I didn't find it this funny on set, but watching the actual movie now, it's so much fun!"
"Yes, I didn't really notice it at the time, which shows how amazing the post-production was."
Wang Zuxian nodded and echoed his words.
However, it's perfectly normal for them to feel this way.
Because on set, they were all just actors, only having a slightly better understanding of their own roles.
At most, I'll have some feelings about those scenes with my co-stars.
But it's different for a director.
He must be able to see the overall changes and understand all the dynamics.
Especially in post-processing.
The director must either edit out a story that he already has in mind, either himself or by instructing someone else, before the audience sees what he has.
For example, in those comedies, the actors might not find them funny at all during filming, and they might even feel unhappy because of the multiple takes.
However, once the editing is complete, the audience finds themselves laughing non-stop when watching the show, which is a testament to the director's skill and ability.
...
"So, Director Xu's level is really high. I was blinded by fame and fortune before, so I couldn't see the excellence of others."
Now, let's put aside all the burdens and look at it purely from the perspective of an audience member.
I just realized how big the gap is between me and others, and I feel so ashamed!
Zhao Fu, who was also watching the movie, was filled with emotion at that moment.
If he were still in the industry, or if he were still working against others, he certainly wouldn't have discovered this kind of thing now.
But now that he's left the industry, he's become aware of these changes with a calm and accepting attitude.
He also realized how arrogant he had been, actually thinking of replacing someone else as the King of Comedy.
Based on Zhao Fu's current feelings, he feels that if he is at a nine out of ten in the field of comedy, then Director Xu must be at least at an eighty or higher.
That's right!
In the realm of comedy, the two were simply not on the same level. Once Zhao Fu understood this, he realized that his defeat back then was not unjust at all.
No wonder they were able to crush me; it wasn't because of good luck or anything like that, it was purely because they were a level above me.
"However, perhaps it's also because the rest of us are too incompetent. In fact, this God of Gamblers movie is a purely commercial film."
He succeeded by creating a very smooth flow, then adding a hook that keeps the audience wanting to know when Ko Chun will regain his memory and how he will get his revenge.
Zhao Fu muttered to himself:
"For a director, these factors are actually easy to understand, but being able to understand them and being able to implement them are two completely different things."
It's like when I was making movies before. I knew exactly what I should do to improve, but when it came to actually doing the action, my movements just fell apart..."
"Forget it, I'm not a director anymore, so let's stop analyzing and just enjoy the story that Director Xu brings us!"
Finally, Zhao Fu calmed down and began watching the movie.
...
Some people calmed down, but for others, it was only at this moment that their emotions began to surge.
That's right, we're talking about Feng Xiaoxia, a rookie actor who just started out in the industry.
He was tricked by Xu Lu into becoming "Dao Zai" and he got through the acting process in a daze.
Sitting in the theater now, watching my own performance, it would be a lie to say I'm not embarrassed.
He couldn't even remember how he managed to keep acting; it was just too embarrassing.
Although becoming an actor to work with Director Xu is the dream of countless aspiring actors in the industry.
But Feng Xiaoxia felt that he could never do it again.
Of course, the moment the thought crossed his mind, his expression froze on his face.
Others may not know, but he, the producer, knows very well.
Following "God of Gamblers," Da Xu Culture has another product called "God of Gamblers."
In the movie 'God of Gamblers II', he was also one of the two main characters.
So others can choose not to act, but it seems really unacceptable for Producer Feng not to act.
