Chapter 227 Cool to the core!
Chapter 227: Cool to the bottom of my heart!
"Why do you do that?" There is a small classroom on the big screen of 3354 cinemas. Daniel Wu, dressed in ordinary winter clothes, looked puzzled. In the camera switch, the members of the mit group were either smiling or playing with playing cards. Natalie's tone was faint, but she showed her strong confidence as arrogant as she was: "Because we can."
After the beginning of the movie fans and audiences who didn't get distracted for a second and almost suffocating bar Q&A, the film was not at all long-winded. Accompanied by light country music, Jeff Horse drove by the beautiful Charles River on the banks of the beautiful Charles River. After parking the car, the camera shows him walking quickly towards the McLaurin Building on the wide "Killian Courtyard" lawn, and the screen was full of mit university atmosphere.
"My name is Jeff Ma, a mit econometric student..." Daniel Wu's voiceover narration quickly introduced a few sentences. On the screen, he asked a classmate's questions about the course classroom. The details of the mit were a little surprised by many viewers. Is it really a bunch of geniuses in the Ivy? Soon on the screen, Daniel Wu was taken to the Blackjack club by Jay Baruchel.
In the classroom, Natalie and others introduced blackjack clearly and invited Jeff Ma to join. However, he curiously asked the specific principles and methods of card counting. The mit team said it without reservation. Natalie finally laughed and said, "No team, card counting is nothing." So Daniel Wu asked why, and after she said "because we can", she seemed to be despised: "You can, too, or not."
The dim screening room was quiet, and every audience who had been waiting for cards to count was fully focused and looked at the screen without blinking, because they found that if they were not careful, they seemed to miss a lot.
Claire was so busy that he didn't even have time to catch popcorn. Listening to the principles, his brain felt excitedly running at high speed, and one addition and subtraction symbol after another emerged, such as Stanford King, Edward Thorpe, +1 point, high and low method... She said: "Adam." Adam, who was sitting next to him, picked up a few popcorns and delivered them to her mouth. Claire had eaten them, looked at Natalie on the screen, and then said vaguely: "Because we can..."
The film critics of the Caesar Palace Theater also maintained high interest, and they were a little surprised that Shenqiyang seemed to have become a chatterbox! He spent a lot of time talking about these card counting, from the historical origin to the principle of card counting, which was in line with what he said, "This is professional and operational." In the past card counting movies and gambling movies, they all mentioned several times.
Not long-winded? It seems that it doesn’t make people feel long-winded. I stopped and looked back and realized that I had talked so much.
The Los Angeles Times column critic Betsey Shaji felt more and more interested. Everything on the screen seemed so credible and genius. This was created by the character's temperament and exquisite lines. That long line had quick editing of shots and character switching. Everyone in the scene was taken care of and played a role. There was a humor from time to time, which was probably the reason why it was not long-winded...
But no one realized that a storm was coming soon.
Only Wang Yang, Margaret, Vale Fist and other late-stage creators, as well as the leading actors involved in the filming, guessed the next scene. Daniel Wu, who looked at the screen, smiled slightly. This was his performance during the audition. Natalie glanced at Wang Yang next to her and vaguely heard his voice: "I want to create a taste!", "Professional, cool!", "We want to make it into an insurmountable peak of gambling films!"
She really didn't procrastinate! She now understands what he means. This is a confident way of telling stories without fear. Calculating cards is counting cards! A long passage that comes with a quick passage suddenly comes... She suddenly laughed: "Impact."
"One deck of cards, 16 cards of 10 points; three decks of cards..." Daniel Wu, who was standing on the big screen, looked expressionless, and was happy to be provoked to show his talent, speak clearly and quickly, and systematically summarized the card counting principle they just said: "10 points are 48 cards; six decks are 312 cards, and 10 points are 96 cards; the initial proportion is 4/13, and the probability of 10 cards appearing in the next round is 0.307692, and the dealer has the advantage."
"Every 10 cards are thrown, the probability decreases by 0.019230, which increases on the contrary. When the probability increases to 3.666666..." The close-up shot began to rotate and expand, from Daniel Wu's face to behind him, from close-up to the picture, Natalie and others appeared slightly stunned expressions. Daniel Wu said six six in a row and said in a heavy voice: "Players have the advantage. Calculate 10 methods, get-it(get)."
"When different bets b(i) are under different winning probability p(i), the sum of the total winning probability σp(i) is less than 1/2. But as long as the big b(i) is larger than p(i) and small b(i) is smaller than p(i) hours, the total return σr(i) p(i) is greater than σb(i), get-it(get it)."
"2, 3, 4, 5, 6 counts adding 1 point; 7, 8, 9 counts 0 points; 10, j, q, k, a counts 1 point.0 points, the dealer has a 0.5% advantage; everyone is even at 1 point; players have a 0.5% advantage at 2 points; players have a 3% advantage at 7 points." Daniel Wu, who almost didn't need to breathe, paused for half a second, showed a "but that" smile on his face, and said lightly: "High and low method, i-got-it (I understand)."
Alexis in the picture said, Jay Baruchel then said, Nick Canon manipulated, Natalie spread her hands: "What happened?" Daniel Wu smiled and said, "Can I?"
Everyone in the screening room was caught off guard. They listened a lot in less than two minutes. At first, they didn’t even have time to get excited, and slowly they felt so smart! Everyone around them were a little buzzing, and it felt like they had encountered something that made people fall in love with each other, a stunning feeling! They unconsciously adjusted their sitting posture or expressed their emotions, so handsome!
"Hu..." Evelyn let out a long sigh, as if Jeff-Ma's words were spoken from her mouth just now. She said to herself: "I know why I can't get into mit, how could it be..." Kelly next to her also sighed: "Genius."
The film critics of the Caesar Palace Theatre also felt that the way this film shows the story is becoming more and more interesting. In the front row of the audience, Wang Yang was hit by Natalie on the shoulder, and she laughed and praised: "Genius!" Even those who were ridiculed by Jeff Ma were excited. What about the others? She smiled and said: "It looks so satisfying now!" Jessica over there also smiled and said: "Nice!"
"Thank you." Wang Yang nodded with a smile. This artistic guide had thought about using special effects to add some numerical symbols to the picture, but in order to make the atmosphere appear more realistic, he did not adopt it. It seemed that his aesthetic taste was not a shrimp insect man. This was just the beginning. Las Vegas was the place to enjoy it.
Jeff Ma quickly learned the principle of card counting. The despised mit group leisurely played card experiments with him, and also came to the first gambling table plot of the movie. The three decks of cards at the beginning allowed the audience to see the simple practical use of addition and subtraction, high and low methods, and also saw that Jeff Ma really learned it; the next eight decks of cards simulated the actual card dealing situation in the casino, and the rookie Jeff Ma naturally failed.
"If you play in a casino like you did just now, you always place a big bet if you have a high point, and if you have a low point, you won't play if you have a low point, why don't you just use a speaker and shout 'I'm here to count cards?' Maybe the casino will think you are an idiot, and don't pay attention to your abnormalities." "You still have to learn!" "I joined, I can play!" "Card counting is like a precision machine. In addition to counting points, each of us has different skills. Card counting people know how to reverse the cards and reverse the cards; controllers know how to track A cards... Big players know everything, I want you to be a big player!"...
Next is Jeff Ma's learning stage, with details, fast shots, narration and dialogue. He practices in the club classroom, in class, and at home... he also plays more and more with the members of the mit team.
There is always a sentence that makes people excited and keeps excited. The audience feels that they are also learning to count cards. Many people even think that they have almost learned it, and just wait until Las Vegas shows off their skills! However, if they are watching DVDs at home, they will go back and watch it slowly a few times, and then taste the Las Vegas meal after they understand clearly.
Except for a few people who thought the process was too slow, watching Wang Yang's guest appearance on the screen, a mit student in the classroom asked Jeff Ma a stupid question, "Do you need to bring playing cards in today's class?" Betsey Xia Ji and other film critics secretly praised him, not for how good he played as a supporting role, but for the nearly half-hour start, so far, their two thumbs were raised high: "Shen Qi Yang completely grasped and controlled the watching psychology!"
The constant excitement and expectation make people watch with great enthusiasm and don’t want to miss a shot. This is a successful commercial film or a successful movie.
Jeff Ma on the big screen has finally finished learning. Team mit thinks he can go to the formal gambling table, but before heading to Las Vegas, he needs to complete a trial and participate in a group operation at an underground casino, which is actually a final test. Now Ma Kaiwen has not experienced this test, this is the fictional plot of Ben Mozridge in the novel.
"winner-winner, chicken-dinner!" The dimly lit underground casinos in the backward neighborhoods, gamblers came and went and shouted, and they were quite smoky.
Daniel Wu sat at the gambling table with a confident face, next to it was Alexis, the controller with a calm expression. With the cooperation, the two had already won a lot of chips. At this time, the dealer made another big fuss: "The idle player won!" Daniel Wu immediately said with some excitement, and a new game started at the gambling table. He chuckled and said, "winner-winner, chicken-dinner."
Huo's voice! He was suddenly wrapped around his head with a burlap bag, and his hands were also held back by the two people who could only see their bodies in the picture, one left and one right, and dragged them back; Daniel Wu struggled hard and roared. The audience who had not seen the original work were shocked and were enjoying the pleasure of winning money by counting cards. Suddenly... Evelyn, who had already seen it, tightened her heart and naturally screamed in response: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Although the audience around them were also scared, they didn’t need to be like watching a horror movie, right? Several people whispered in dissatisfaction, and Kelly covered her forehead: “Sure enough, something happened.”
"Boy, dare to play card counting here with me!? Are you tired of living?" The next shot was in a small room. With the sound of a rough and angry voice, Daniel Wu was pressed on a chair by the two men. He no longer resisted and said calmly: "I know it's you, right? There are too many flaws in all this, and there is no need to change the accent of the voice. Amanda, I know it's you."
With another shout, Daniel Wu's sack hood was taken away. Sure enough, Jay Baruchel and Nick Canon were caught by him, and Natalie, Alexis and three other girls stood in front. Natalie, with a smile on her face looked very satisfied: "I am not afraid of danger, good, I have not lost my mind and judgment because of an emergency, good..." She suddenly asked: "How many points were the gambling table just now!?"
"Add 16 o'clock." Daniel Wu said coldly. Under Natalie's happy smile, he twisted his shoulders and stood up, and said loudly with anger: "What are you kidding!" Alexis said comfortingly and laughed: "Jeff, you have no reason to be angry, I was scared to tears at that time." Jay Baruchel and others raised their eyebrows and shrugged, looking "not my idea."
"Hmm, haha..." The camera was aimed at Natalie's close-up. A vicious aura of prank success appeared on her face, and a strange and low laughter that could not help but squeezed out of her throat. It almost made people feel that she was perverted. She smiled and said, "Welcome to officially join the mit21 team!"
Looking at the smiling face on the screen, the movie fans who love "Juno" instantly understood it a little, evil! It is completely different from the high school girl Juno who is sharp-tongued and hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. This is a genius college student who is both crazy and calm, and seems devastating... Claire really wants to try to imitate the weird laugh just now, but because he is in the theater, he is no longer so presumptuous.
She shouted woo in her heart. Sure enough, in the movie "Strange Love", Natalie would be very cool, so cool! There are Juno and Amanda... Compared to the wooden queen in "Star Wars Prequel", this is simply too unique and awesome!
"Let's go to Vegas to make a lot of money!" On the big screen, Natalie stretched out her palm and patted Daniel Wu on the shoulder, and smiled and walked out of the small room first. The camera quickly switched to the front of the panoramic view, and took Daniel Wu and Alixis and other mit team members who had different expressions into the picture, and then switched to facing Natalie's departure back, and she let out another funny and weird laugh.
"Yu Huh." Natalie on the screen smiled softly. There was nothing cool on the set. For these laughs, she whipped many times. No matter how she smiled, she was not satisfied with the director. Finally, she said she wanted to be crazy before she came out. At this time, Wang Yang next to her smiled and said, "Good laugh."
The camera finally returned to the front of the panoramic view. Everyone looked helpless or expressionless when they were unable to take the captain. Only Alixis smiled: "She has no malicious intentions." A louder laugh came from the corridor outside: "Wow..." Daniel Wu shrugged, and Alixis nodded in agreement: "Yes, I know."
There was a rare light laughter in more than 3,000 screening halls in North America tonight. With the same Las Vegas theme, "The Hangover" makes people laugh and twitch to the ground. "21" has humor but not hilarious, but the audience is more focused and focused.
"Oh my god, my Ali..." Joshua took a deep breath, so cute! It was so good to act!
This is not his partiality. The film critics in the theater are secretly praising the acting performance of everyone on the screen. The critic of "Hollywood Reporter" has decided to express his praise when writing. These actors and director Shenqiyang, he fully explored and used the temperament of each star, and gave people a refreshing feeling. For example, Natalie Portman, her current performance level is no worse than Juno...
Kirk Honeycart suddenly remembered something, what about Rachel McAdams who has not yet appeared?
"Tread..." A series of footsteps sounded in the theater screening hall, and the big screen image suddenly appeared in the corridor of the luxury hotel. After a quick editing camera switch, the mysterious woman and two security guards walked into the office. The burly bald security supervisor said happily: "Miss Kyle, I'm glad to see you!"
As the camera slowly rose, the audience had a sense of expectation to unveil the mystery, although they knew it must be Rachel McAdams, and she smiled faintly. "Are the things I want ready?", "Are you ready, just put them there."...
Since Rachel appeared, the camera editing became more rapid and sharper. Nancyto held his chin and vaguely thought of the magical idea. In addition to creating an atmosphere, the movie was screened for more than half an hour and was about to officially enter the next stage, which is Las Vegas, the center of the story. How can it be different from Casinos and Boston, and how can it look cooler? She wondered if it was a cult film style, mtv style...
However, this more than half an hour is unique and cool enough. It is not just that the content of the film is cool. It is very clear to people who learn to direct the director like this. It is unprecedented to express this subject in this way of storytelling! The content always seems monotonous, but who would care and deliberately pay attention to it? Through the light, Nancy looked at the audience sitting on the left and right, and they all seemed to enjoy it.
Anyway, her interest has not diminished, but her expectations for actually going to Las Vegas to count cards have been rising. Her heartbeats are now a little faster than usual. This is the beginning of this story.
"These people appear on weekends every time, which means they have a job; but in recent months, they suddenly appear a few days later, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday... These months are summer vacations." Rachel, who had been reading the documents and archives for a while, said as she was surveillance. She put down the documents in her hand and said: "This means that they are very likely teachers, or...students."
The audience in front of the big screen couldn't help but lit up their eyes. They had already regarded themselves as a member of the mit team. Now they were surprised by the female detective who looked very powerful. Naturally, they were a little excited. Are the female detectives talking about the mit team? This should be a reverse shot. The mit team captured Las Vegas!
In the airport on the screen, the mit team was wearing casual clothes, carrying luggage and backpacks, preparing to go to Las Vegas for the first time after Jeff Ma joined the team.
Chapter completed!
