Chapter 147 Las Vegas
Chapter 147: Making a big fuss in Las Vegas
In the desert with a clear sky, on the endless highway, a silver sports car ran past with a laugh of "Wahahaha--" and Wang Yang controlled the steering wheel, Tom Willing was sitting in the passenger seat, Zachary and Joshua in the back seat kept shouting, and the four of them were wearing casual clothes and smiling.
"Yang, please, drive quickly!" Joshua slapped the car door hard and said excitedly: "Fly, fly! Don't waste this car and this road!" Wang Yang smiled, looked at the open car in front, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator, laughed: "Guys, sit firm!" Zachary shouted, waving his hands and shouted: "Las Vegas, we are here!"
Huh—! The silver sports car ran towards the end of the horizon like lightning.
After the filming of "The Ninth District" was completed in mid-January, Wang Yang became free. Of course, he was not completely out of business. He put forward a lot of opinions on the editing of "Sweetheart" to determine its style and rhythm; he also had to follow the special effects production of "The Ninth District", but this is something that happens every ten days, and he usually has more leisure time.
Tom Willing, who successfully proposed in August last year, was going to hold a wedding with his fiancee Jamie White in Los Angeles on January 21. With his wedding date approaching, the first step was to say goodbye to the bachelor party. Wang Yang and Zachary decided to take him to Las Vegas for a carnival. Joshua, who heard the news, joined in and insisted on following him. As for Tom's other friends and brothers, he would hold another big party the night before his wedding.
Las-vegas itself is Spanish, meaning "fertile green grassland". This is because it is the only oasis with springs in the desolate desert around it. The most famous desert city is naturally the gambling industry. As the largest casino in the world, it has nearly 40 million tourists every year, and it has gradually developed into a tourist shopping resort, becoming a prosperous and dazzling city that never sleeps.
After the four arrived in Las Vegas, they checked into the Caesar Palace Hotel in the Strip. The marble Caesar statue in front of the door and the huge fountain; the statue of the goddess in the lobby, ancient Roman murals, and golden chandeliers... The luxury of this five-star hotel is everywhere. In the spacious presidential suite, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can enjoy the gorgeous night view outside.
"Hey, Joshua, you seem to be not old enough to drink?" Wang Yang saw Joshua on the other side of the wine table opening a bottle of brandy and pouring a full glass into the crystal wine glass. He immediately shouted, stopping the laughter and said, "You can't drink, I don't want to be caught by the police!" Zachary, who was standing in front of the window, and Tom Willing, who was sitting on the sofa, laughed and walked towards the wine table.
Joshua picked up the wine glass and took a sip, smacked his lips and savored it, laughing, "Stop coming, who would care about this for no reason? And I am so mature, I look at least 25 years old." He pulled out three more crystal cups from the counter, took the brandy and filled the cups, and looked at them and smiled, "Brothers, have you forgotten that this is a farewell bachelor party? What about him, there are no rules tonight, no paparazzi! Nothing can stop us, only carnival!"
"That's right, we're going to have a good night with Tom tonight!" Zachary picked up a wine glass in agreement; Tom also smiled and raised the wine glass and said, "Thank you!"
Wang Yang nodded with a smile. He hadn't really relaxed for a long time. Last year, he was always surrounded by all kinds of unpleasant and depressing things. He felt a little tired. Let's take advantage of today to try the long-lost indulgence! Holding the crystal wine glass, he smiled and said, "We need to have a good time, but drink it first!"
He raised his glass, looked around the three of them, and continued to smile: "In a few days, our Tom will enter the embrace of marriage. He is our pathfinder, pioneer, and warrior! We drink all this glass of wine in one breath, and no one can miss it a little! To Tom!"
"To Tom!" Zachary and Joshua both smiled and raised the wine glass in their hands to Tom. The four of them clinked their glasses again, then raised their heads and drank them up, and drank them all in one breath. After putting down the glass, the four of them frowned a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help laughing. Joshua picked up the bottle and was about to pour it, and smiled, "Cool, this wine is great, my throat, my stomach... comfortable."
"Guys, I won't blush when I'm drunk, and I look like I usually do." Wang Yang smiled, put the wine glass in his hand under the mouth of the bottle, and the wine poured out. He continued to laugh: "But it's very likely that I will do some crazy things, and I don't know what it will be. So you have to take good care of me, I want to go back to Los Angeles alive."
Zachary laughed, took another sip of wine, waved his hand and said, "Yang, whoever gets drunk will become another person. But don't worry! I have a high alcohol tolerance, I will take good care of you." Tom Willing also nodded and smiled, "Jami doesn't like me to drink, that's why. But today, I want to let go!" Joshua pulled out several bottles of different types of wine from the wine cabinet behind him, placed it heavily on the countertop, and smiled, "Enjoy this party!"
Everyone nodded with a smile, talking while drinking. Amid the growing laughter, the empty wine bottles on the stage slowly increased, one bottle, two bottles, three bottles...
In the Caesar Palace Hotel and Casino, under the bright yellow lights, gamblers sat around different gambling tables, low cheers and sighs kept rising and falling, and waiters in suits walked back and forth in this wide and crowded gambling hall. At a blackjack table, Joshua, Zachary and Tom Willing were all standing, shouting excitedly: "Win again! Wow, fuck, win again!"
There were five people participating in the gambling table. Three of them had surrendered in this game. Wang Yang looked at his 5, 6, 3, looked at a white man who was suspended from trading next to him. 9 and 4, looked at the banker's bright card 9, thought for a while, and smiled and said, "Give me another card!"
The gameplay of 21 points can be said to be very simple or complicated. The gambling game is divided into dealer and idle player. At the beginning of each game, the dealer will send two open cards to the idle player, one open card and one secret card to himself. K, q, j and 10 cards are all counted as 10 points, and a card can be counted as 1 point and 11 points, which is decided by the player himself, and the remaining digital cards are calculated according to the original face value. After the gambling game begins, the idle player can freely ask for cards to approach 21 points. If it passes, it will be "exploded" and is considered a loss.
When all idle players are suspended (no longer asking for cards), the dealer reveals his secret card. If the points of those two cards are less than 17 points, even if they are more than the points of the idle players, the dealer must continue to hold the cards until they are greater than or equal to 17 points. After exceeding 17 points, the dealer must suspend the trading. If he loses, he will naturally lose. If he doesn't lose, he will compare the points with the idle players, win, lose or draw.
Hearing that Wang Yang asked for cards again, wearing a small vest, the expressionless white dealer gave him a card. When he opened it, he saw another 6. Joshua and others immediately cheered, and the 4 cards totaled 20 points! Wang Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, pointing at the dealer with two fingers, and smiled: "Suspend the deal. Baby, the game is over!"
The dealer continued to open the secret card without expression, and it turned out to be another 6! 15 o'clock is not enough for 17 o'clock. Under the eyes of everyone, he drew a card and opened it, and a q! Joshua jumped up excitedly, "yes!" and the dealer said in a stiff tone: "Breaking out, the idle player wins."
"Bazinga!" Wang Yang laughed and pounded the table, swept the chips transferred by the dealer to the left, where the gambling chips were piled up as high as a hill. He grabbed a handful of nearly 10,000 US dollars and pushed them out, and said with a smile: "Next game!"
Zachary and Tom Willing slammed the palm of his hands happily, and Joshua was still jumping around excitedly, pressing Wang Yang's shoulders with both hands and trembling wildly, gritting his teeth and laughing: "Brother, you are incredible, you, the god of gambling!" He remembered that every time everyone played Texas Hold'em, stud... everything was good, and in the end, Wang Yang won! He smiled and shook his head, sighed: "I have always said that Chinese are all gambling masters!"
"Yes!" Wang Yang roared, clenched his fists and made an action to show his muscles, and said, "I am Jeff-Ma!" Joshua asked in confusion, "Who is Jeff-Ma?" Wang Yang laughed in a funny way, looked back at the three of them, and said, "Don't you know? Don't you know Jeff-Ma?" He smiled and looked at the dealer, and said, "Oh my God, they don't know Jeff-Ma! Then why are you here at the blackjack table!"
Everyone involved in the gambling game frowned in confusion, not knowing who Jeff Ma was, and continued to bet on the next round. Wang Yang looked at them left and right with shock on his face. Seeing that even the dealer did not respond, he sighed: "Oh God, you are so unprofessional! I recommend you to read that book, that... Uh, um, oh! "Conquer Las Vegas"!"
"That's a great and interesting book. Once you read it, you will know how to become a blackjack winner... Haha!" As he was speaking, Wang Yang suddenly laughed loudly. The first card assigned to him by the dealer was Red Heart A! Joshua and the other two were also nervously chanting: "Black Jack, Black Jack!" The expressionless dealer continued to send the second round card, a j spade, and now he couldn't help but frown.
"Fuck, Black Jack!" Wang Yang slapped the table suddenly, and the chips bounced up, and he couldn't stop laughing: "Black Jack! Haha, you're dead, you're dead!"
The other four people in the gambling game looked envious. The so-called blackjack is exactly the real name of blackjack. One a and one 10-point card is bigger than any 21-point combination card. Getting blackjack means being invincible.
Wang Yang leaned against the chair with his hands wrapped around his chest, looked at the dealer with teasing eyes, and burped; Zachary and Tom Willing also laughed proudly; Joshua pounded his chest with excitement like a King Kong, and suddenly saw an Asian man with square face and black hair walking by next to him, shouting to him, "Hey, man, come and gamble together! Jeff Horse is here! Jeff Horse!"
The man stopped and looked at them. He saw three people who seemed drunk and had a normal face and smiled as if they were smiling. He was stunned for a moment and blurted out in surprise: "Wang Yang?" Wang Yang smiled and shook his head, took the pair of black Jacks to show him, and smiled and said, "What Wang Yang? I am Jeff-Ma!"
At this time, everyone on the gambling table was suspended. The dealer slowly opened his secret card, open card 5 and secret card k. He said lightly, "The dealer wants a card." Then he dialed a card in. Square 3, and he said: "Suspend the dealer, 18 o'clock."
"yes!" The four of them waved their fists happily, and the loser sighed faintly. It seemed that they really wanted to read the book "Conquer Las Vegas"! Wang Yang smiled and gathered more than 10,000 chips back from the game. Seeing that there were nearly 100,000 chips, he suddenly remembered the number targeted by the casino. He also felt that it was meaningless, so he threw all the gambling chips into the chip bag, stood up and smiled, "Brothers, don't bet anymore! It's boring--"
"Well, let's go out to stroll the street!" Zachary made an enthusiastic suggestion. The three of them nodded happily and walked out with a smile. Joshua's pace began to sway slightly. At this time, the Asian man suddenly chased after him from behind and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Wang!" Wang Yang, who was hugging Tom Willing's shoulder, turned his head in confusion, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
The Asian man smiled, stretched out his hand at him, and introduced himself: "Mr. Wang, my name is Justin Lin, Lin Yibin, and I am also a Chinese. I am a graduate of UCL drama, TV and film department."
Wang Yang nodded, shook hands with him, and smiled and said, "Hello, I'm glad to know you! Our Troy beat you 2 points! Haha, kidding..." He shook his head again, Justin Lin, Lin Yibin? It seemed that there was some impression, who was there? He waved his hand in a puzzled way and said, "Anyway, I'm glad to know you, Justin, goodbye back!"
"No, Mr. Wang, it's actually like this." Lin Yibin smiled. Thinking of his ridiculous purpose of wandering in the casino, he let out a sigh of relief and said to himself in his heart: "This is a good opportunity. Either you can invest or you can go out and overdraw your credit card to get that money!" He planned and smiled: "I'm planning to make an independent movie. I have several ideas. I wonder if you have time to listen to it?"
He smiled calmly and sincerely, looked at the three people who seemed drunk and were listening carefully, and said, "Mr. Wang, to be honest, I need some funds to make a movie, and I am confident that I can impress the Fire Movie."
"Wow, make a movie! Please, you'll say it earlier!" Wang Yang punched him in the chest excitedly, swung his fists a few times quickly, and smiled: "We are all Bruce Lee! Support, absolutely support you! fuck, you should find me soon!"
Lin Yibin couldn't help but be stunned. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the chip bag filled with bulging came over. His strength made his chest ached faintly. Wang Yang smiled and said, "There is, uh, how much? Maybe 100,000 US dollars, who knows!" He frowned again and said, "But 100,000 US dollars should not be enough, right? Yes, how much is your movie cost?" Lin Yibin looked at the chip bag in his arms in disbelief. This became? Really?
Looking at Wang Yang's serious expression, he immediately smiled happily, held the bag tightly, nodded and said, "Enough, enough! I have some money myself, thank you, Mr. Wang!"
"No, no, no, not enough, definitely not enough! I know the higher the cost, the better the director..." Wang Yang waved his hand and interrupted him, groping his pocket, then looking around Joshua and the other three, and asked, "Is there any pen and paper?" The three of them shrugged, and Joshua laughed and said, "This is not a school, man, this is a casino!"
"I have it here." Lin Yibin quickly took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket and handed it over: "Here." Wang Yang happily took it, wrote the number quickly on the paper, and smiled: "This is my mobile phone number, my phone number at home, my parents' restaurant takeaway number... Contact me again!" He handed the pen and paper back, and smiled at Tom Willing's shoulder: "I'm going to play with these guys now. You know he's going to get married soon. Oh my God, he's going to get married soon!"
Tom Willing nodded happily and said, "Yes! I have been with her for almost 5 years. When I saw her for the first time, I said, 'I want to get her'! Now we are getting married!" He gave himself a thumbs up and said, "Tom, do it beautifully!" Zachary whistled in a whistle, and Joshua sighed, "I want to have a long love too! I want to get married too!"
Looking at the three obviously drunk people, Lin Yibin looked at Wang Yang with some doubts, and smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you very much! Then I won't disturb you anymore, I will contact you."
"Call me Yang, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, you're so stupid!" Wang Yang frowned impatiently, stepped forward and patted Lin Yibin on the shoulder, and said seriously: "We are all Chinese! Chinese people need to help each other, and Wu Laogui always said that! So don't be polite to me, absolutely not! All you have to do is make the movie well and bring glory to us Chinese directors! I love movies, I love you!"
He gave him a few blowing kisses, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Haha, I think I should make such a movie, about Jeff Ma, MIT Gambling Team! Interesting!" Joshua immediately cheered: "Gambling movies? Man, I can't wait to watch them!" Zachary also asked: "What did you say?" Wang Yang hugged them left and right, walked out of the casino, and said: "Please, I won't talk about movies tonight, carnival moments!" After walking a few steps, he turned around and smiled: "Justin, come on! Remember to contact me! Those money is not enough!"
"I can do it!" Lin Yibin held the chip bag and paper tightly, and kept watching the four people disappear among the gamblers. He smiled and withdrew his gamblers, and cheered in his voice: "yes, yes!" He had heard that Shenqiyang was a talkative and easy-going person, but he really didn't expect it to happen! He was a little confused in his heart, was Wang Yang drunk too?
On the streets of the Las Vegas Strip, the night lights of the tall buildings on both sides are dazzling, and the four people holding their arms and walking aimlessly while singing.
Zachary's singing suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, I'm so anxious. I want to go to the toilet, toilet toilet!" Tom Willing pointed to the shiny signboard over there and smiled, "Just solve it there, I'll give you the wind!" Wang Yang laughed so hard that he burst into tears, saying, "Zachary, the paparazzi are in the dark, and the newspaper headlines will be you tomorrow!"
"Brothers, actually..." Joshua blinked and said to himself: "I want to have a cool tattoo. My parents are too perverted. Can't Catholics have tattoos? I want to tattoo Jesus!" Wang Yang pushed him hard and said with a smile: Then go! gogogo!"
"Ding ding ding ding..." The annoying cell phone ringtone kept ringing, as if it could not be turned off. Wang Yang said "um" in displeasure, and turned around to continue sleeping, but the ringtone continued. He opened his eyes with difficulty, his eyes were dizzy, his head hurts, and his whole body hurts... His hand groped and took the phone ringing beside him, and answered the channel: "Cough, hello, hello..."
"Hi, Young? Good morning." The person over there was Jammy White, and she asked with a smile: "Why are you picking up your phone? Where is Tom? How did you play yesterday?"
Is it Jami? Wang Yang wiped his face hard, and suddenly felt much more awake, saying, "Uh, it's right next to me, I'll take it, wait a while, Tom, Tom! I should have had a lot of fun yesterday, Oh my God!" When his vision returned to clarity, he couldn't help but scream in surprise and murmured, "I think something crazy happened..."
The originally luxurious and tidy presidential suite became a mess, with wine bottles, clothes and other debris everywhere. The sofa was pushed back. The large flat-screen TV was penetrated with a hole and the floor lamp was smashed... Zachary was lying on the sofa and was sleeping heavily, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest; Joshua was lying on the floor covered with a quilt, and his exposed shoulders had a black tattoo and a bearded portrait...
What's going on!? Wang Yang stood up slowly, his head was heavy and dizzy, but his nerves were very clear, and this scene seemed familiar! No? He quickly said to Jami: "Tom hasn't woken up yet. We were drunk last night. I'll ask him to call you back later!" As soon as he hung up his phone, he shouted like crazy: "Tom, Tom! Tom--"
"Well, what's wrong..." The voice of Tom Willing came from the other side of the room. Wang Yang immediately ran over and opened the door and saw it. He immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Tom lay on the bed! He said, "It's nothing, Jami is calling, you wake up first."
He turned around and walked back to the hall, looked at the messy house, shook his head and laughed constantly, and last night's memory was blurred, and he couldn't figure out how it would have happened like this!
Thump! He suddenly felt his feet soft, and he seemed to have something mixed, and he threw himself on the floor. He sat up in pain, took the stuff he mixed, and saw that it was a piece of hard paper. He recited the paper that was stuck inside and said, "Marriage Certificate...Marriage Certificate!" With a snap, he hurriedly closed it, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "Oh my God! Oh my God!"
In addition to the casino, Las Vegas also has a nickname called "World Marriage Capital", because the marriage registration office here will never close. A couple does not need to present any supporting documents to register for marriage. Just pay a $55 handling fee. The newlyweds can see the marriage certificate within 15 minutes, and then go to a nearby church to find a pastor to hold a wedding. It will be done! As for the witness, you can just pull a stranger on the street.
Looking at the marriage certificate in his hand, Wang Yang swallowed, but his throat was still as uncomfortable as fire. He prayed: "It's not me, it's not Tom, it's not any of us..." He took a deep breath and opened it suddenly and saw that it said "Joshua Alba" on it, it's Joshua!
"Hahahahaha..." He couldn't help laughing and shouted, "Joshua, Joshua! Wake up, you're in trouble; no, you have a wife, haha, wake up!"
Joshua, who was over there, turned around a few times, finally opened his eyes slowly and said in a daze: "What, what are you saying? Why is my shoulder a little tingling..." He brushed his eyes and looked down, stayed for a few seconds, and then let out a tragic scream: "Ahhhh-what is going on!? There is a tattoo of Jesus on my shoulder!!!"
"Man, I think you'd better ignore that tattoo first, oh my god, haha..." Wang Yang laughed so hard that he could not breathe. He shook the marriage certificate in his hand and smashed it hard to Joshua, laughing and said, "You should look at this, Joshua, you want to have trouble, this... haha! You are married to Scarlett..."
He covered his painful forehead and made Kakaka laugh, intermittently: "But it's not Johnson, it's Jackson...Scarlett Jackson!"
"I don't understand, what are you talking about?" Joshua frowned with confusion. He looked at the tattoo on his shoulder for a while before picking up the piece of hard paper and reading it. He whispered: "Joshua Alba... Scarlett Jackson... Legal couple..." He scratched his head and said with a clue: "Well, Joshua Alba seems to be me? And Scarlett Jackson..."
Chapter completed!
