Chapter 240 There will be no blackjack movie ever again! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"The statement in the movie is correct, slot machines are indeed such a system."

Recently, with the popularity of "mit-21-team", card counting and mit group have become the focus of entertainment topics across the United States. The probability of slot machines winning the jackpot is 1/260,000+ each time? Many people know that slot machines are difficult to win; many people don't know that ordinary people have an illusion that they think that there are only a dozen patterns, and the chances of winning are one hundred, right?

"We have never tried to hide anything. Everyone knows that gambling is an extremely lucky thing. It is the same as buying a lottery. The winning rate of the power ball's jackpot is more than one in a billion! But everyone has times when they are lucky and hopes for winning."

In an interview with the New York Times, Robert Stewart, spokesperson of Caesars Entertainment, a parent company of Caesars Palace Casino, explained that in response to the movie’s “casino money making speech”, he also said: “Casinos and bars, nightclubs, amusement parks, cinemas, etc. are entertainment venues, and people and families spend money to get happiness from it. Our casinos also require operating costs and profits to survive. If we are vampires, it is very irresponsible.”

However, some people suggested that a mark similar to "smoking is harmful to health" be posted on the slot machine's machine shell to indicate the probability of spending money on this money-swalking machine so that players know that they are making a choice of one in tens of thousands.

Casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City naturally ignored it, but although they did not post the label, since August, the profits of slot machines have been getting smaller and smaller day by day. The casinos' blackjack gambling tables are full of seats, and even more tables are needed; while the ever-lasting slot machines suddenly have fewer customers.

Slot machines are the choice for many ordinary tourists and family travel, and they use a few cents of change to have fun. Among the tourists in the casino today, there are actually couples, friends, and family members to form a team to count cards. Thompson, who was interviewed, played a card counting game. Thompson, who was in his 40s, smiled and said: "This is really interesting. We just use the high and low method. We place big bets when we click the high and small, and we don't play it."

The family of four was asked about their record. Thomson, who was in his early 20s, smiled and said, "We didn't win any money, maybe a bottle of champagne. We don't have this idea of ​​making money. It's just very interesting. The family plays this kind of agent-like team game, not gambling, it's very interesting." Thomson's younger sister Betha said, "We designed our gestures and codes, and our family understands what that means, which adds a lot of fun to the journey."

There are not many such trendy families, and it is even more impossible to win big money from the gambling table. Casinos are not worried about the current situation. Now it is just the center of the storm. The card counting fever will inevitably subside soon. The biggest difference between slot machines and blackjack is not the probability, it does not require thinking, it depends entirely on luck, and the public will always like slot machines that do not need to think.

Since the popularity of "Hangover", the number of tourists in Las Vegas has increased a lot compared to the same period, with a lot more farewell bachelor parties; now "mit-21-team" has added another bunch of firewood to the fire, and the number of tourists is expected to increase again in the future holidays, which is also a contribution to the city.

"We are very grateful to Fanqi Young for bringing these two movies." According to the Los Angeles Times, Jeremy Handel, spokesman for the Las Vegas Tourism Bureau, said: "In order to thank the young man for his contribution to the city, we are preparing to apply for an honorary citizen award for him and welcome him to settle here." And Fanqi Young, who came to China, and his team did not respond yet.

Not only the Casino Tourism Bureau, but also the MIT Institute. Now it and mit students have a new image "cool" that affects this kind of ignorance of good or bad, mit spokesman Patty Richards said: "Each January, it is mit's annual short-term independent activity program IAP. This program allows departments to provide a series of professional topics that are not available in formal courses, allowing students to write research papers and obtain qualification exams based on their interests."

"This is why mit has a professional topic of ‘If you have to bet, how can you win?’, and why there is a history of mit-21-team. We encourage students to create, explore, not limited to classroom books, and try various possibilities."

Patty Richards' final words were quite savvy: "But card counting skills are just a not-so-savvy measurement study. The money easily obtained brings a corrupt life and a loss of talent. If they put their intelligence on other things, their achievements today might be higher."

Many media are not only focusing on "mit-21-team", star creators such as Wang Yang and Natalie Portman, but are also digging into the adapted movie. The real story behind Ben Mozridge's adapted novel, which is also what the public wants to know.

Both the Boston Magazine and the Boston Globe report on adaptation and real details, such as the fictional convening strippers to exchange chips, the group members have as many as dozens of teams at the same time, etc. The San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times also reported that the mit-21-team was not disbanded until the late 1990s, when Fantasy Young picked up the DV, and the reason was that even men dressed up in women could not deceive casinos of all sizes across the United States. In addition, the uneven interests were far less chic than movies...

They all seem to say that in order to make the story wonderful, both Fantastic Young and Ben Mozridge have made large and exaggerated adaptations. The 100-person earns 10 million in 10 years, which is completely different from the 10 million in 2 years, which is a complete difference between the 10 million in 6 people earns 10 million in 2 years.

But how can movie fans care? Historical epic movies can be adapted, let alone a commercial film with clear positioning? As long as the technology is real, the story is adapted wonderfully! So no matter how mainstream media reports, the screening hall of "21" in the cinema is still popular, and the number of ratings on imdb, Rotten Tomatoes and other websites is increasing, and its box office is also increasing every day.

When the week from August 8th to 14th became the past, the media once again saw the power of "phenomenal directors". The box office trend of "mit-21-team" fell slightly by 33%, and it received a box office of 50.42 million US dollars in 3,380 theaters, successfully defending the North American box office champion in the second week of August!

Two weeks after it was released, the imdb page score remained at 8.1 points, 125,846 rating users; Rotten Tomatoes included many new reviews, the 215 articles had a 87% freshness, a 90% freshness, and a 90% favorite. The total box office of this gambling film in North America has reached 125.6 million, and the box office is only more than 38.4 million left to "Attack on the Impossible" which surpasses Spielberg.

Maybe one week, two weeks...but it's just a matter of time, surprising box office drops percentage, surprising results.

"Miya Yang found a beautiful schedule." Yahoo Entertainment commented that the box office runner-up this week was newly released, with 45.5 million "Counter-Terrorism SWAT team" and the third place also a new film, 30.84 million "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", 4th was 15.21 million "American Piece", 14.6 million "Pirates of the Caribbean"... Almost no threat, of course "Pirates of the Caribbean" is already in the 5th week.

The battlefield opponents facing "Attack on Punishment" at that time were "The Lord of the Rings 2", "The Hangover", "Mr. Hughes"...

But in any case, the showdown "Miyasu Jan vs Spielberg" hyped by gossip media has an expected result. Yahoo Entertainment commented: "Just like before, many impossible things become possible, Miyasu Jan once again proves that as long as you are young, there are infinite possibilities. He realized his own words and created a new record of type! We can only sigh that it is the time for young people (it is the time for young people)."

"Well, although the gap between the two is still very far from each other in any aspect, Fantastic Yang won this game."

Opal-e said this in the comment board of this news, and it was not just him who posted his opinion. Hinton-c commented: "It's hard for me to say which one I like better. They are all classics and have their own characteristics. "Attack on Punishment" is more elegant and charming, and is in line with Spielberg's age; "21" is very wanton and crazy, magical and the result of Las Vegas."

"I prefer young to be talking about the type of gambling, or the blackjack type. He did it completely. After watching "mit-21-team", I think it's hard for me to be interesting to blackjack movies in the future, unless they can be as professional as "21" and so exciting."

Frevia's message received a lot of support, because there are many fans and viewers with the same idea. Garrison-n, whose avatar is a white young man, wrote: "Whether the story itself is a blackjack card count or a part of the story, I hope no one will fool us with "Rain Man" and "Hangover". It was possible before but not now. Can't you do it? Then let him play the slot machine and win the prize, forget it!"

"There won't be a question. Will there be a blackjack movie in the future?" Watley-l wrote: "What stories are there? Is there any card counting team cooler than the mit group?" Another user Baird-f wrote: "No one dares to challenge "21" on card counting, that's too stupid! At most, the Flame movie will remake this story in the future, watch it."

Ramona, whose avatar is a white girl, sighed and wrote: "What a pity! "21" made me very interested in card counting. I want to see more card counting movies to capture those hateful casinos, but Miracle Yang has taken it to the end, why-!"

Not only fans think so, but the critic Roger Albert, who gave "21" two thumbs up, also said in his own film review: "Miya Yang gave Blackjack a generous pension and disappeared from Hollywood since then, good!

"This is what I said about counting cards, this is what I said about the gambling table movie!" Roger Albert seemed to have a special liking for the movies of Fantasy Young. He felt incredible to a director for the seventh time in a row: "I am always watching Fantasy Young movies with high expectations and more picky eyes. As a result, he will be satisfied every time, making you want to scold him and nothing can do."

"This is a very wonderful entertainment blockbuster. I was so excited that my lips were trembling a little! This was much more interesting than Michael Bey's boring explosions. I couldn't believe that he also filmed "Brave the Deadly Island". It was a terrible experience! Fortunately, there was this young man."

Old Man Albert continued his sarcastic film review style, and while evaluating "21", he did not forget to mock "Absolute Men 2", and used this as a comparison: "I feel very happy. Huan Yang is like a safe haven without bad movies, which is too safe. This movie gives me a sense of beauty to return to youth, such a beautiful and indulgent, and the film technology inside is very meticulous, but the most charming thing is the boldness of the movie, and smart people control the world!"

"From the first second, we've been telling stories until the end of the cast, what story should we tell? "Singing and Dance" is like a high school student with both good character and academic performance, warm and sunny and immature; and this "21" is a presumptuous and crazy college student who is not afraid of anything and can do anything. Of course, it's in accordance with the law. They dare not play with bombs everywhere. But this rational madness, calm and unrestrained are the treatment I appreciate the most!"

After complimenting a lot of the content of the film one by one, as well as the actors' performances, Roger Albert's review ended with: "After watching this movie, I feel a little happy like 'that', and it's 'that' with the covers of the porn magazines under your bed, very-good!"

The 15th is the beginning of the third week of August box office list. This week, four more movies were released on a large scale, including the skateboarding movie "Milling" and the comedy "Spicy Baby"; "I was young and magical." With "Dancing with Wolves", Kevin Costner, who won the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 36, will this Western romance continue to be a golden plum or a salted fish turn over?

However, among the four movies, the new film that is most popular among movie fans and media predicts that it will take away the box office championship in the weekly box office of "21" is the horror action film "Freddy vs. Jason" directed by Hong Kong director Yu In-tae for the new line company. The two murderous devils in the two horror series "Ghost Street" and "Friday 13" unexpectedly met. It vowed to fight a path in 3,014 theaters. "21" seems to have come to give way.

It is about to give way in North America, and it has just begun in overseas regions. This time, it was not released simultaneously around the world because it was not a big production after all, and there were market instability factors such as Chinese male protagonists. Overseas theater companies are unwilling to take the risk of making so many copies. They have to look at the situation in North America before making a decision. In order to carry out some business cooperation, Flame Movie handed over the distribution rights of "21" to other companies.

With the arrival of the 15th and 16th, the mit geniuses logged into many ticketing countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Mexico, Germany, etc., and naturally there are Chinese ***s.

What will "21" perform overseas? Can it earn 188 million overseas box offices exceed "Attack on the Impossible"? How much box offices will be in mainland China, which has done a prosperous publicity work? These topics that countless movie fans are concerned about are still unknown.

"Yang, are you really not coming back tonight?"

In the night of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, Jessica walked around with a telephone. Although she had been missing for less than a week and chatted with the phone every day, she was very worried about him and was not allowed to pick him up. She also had to quarantine himself... Hearing Wang Yang, who was in Beverly Hills over there, said that he would not reply and would have to quarantine for three more days, Jessica immediately said anxiously: "Go home! Immediately! You have entered the country safely, how could there be any sars? I don't care."

Wang Yang, who had just got out of the car and was about to walk towards the hotel gate, felt very warm in his heart when he listened to the word home, and he also had the urge to run home wildly, but! He was wearing a mask and his voice was a little vague: "But I care, I don't want you to be in danger of suffering from sars! Just in case, Jesse, I'll stay away from you for three days first, let those damn viruses roll far away, and then set out for a trip."

"What virus, there is no at all!" Jessica couldn't help laughing and sat down on the sofa with a cry, leaning against the back of the sofa, and said, "I'm not that weak, I can even get infected with a virus without it. Look, my cold is cured! There are also others who need to be quarantined for seven days. What's the point of quarantine for three days?" She smiled and said, "Is the countdown in the New Year?" Wang Yang was shocked and said, "Oh, right, do I want to be quarantined for seven days?"

"Go home!" Jessica said weakly. She looked at the familiar furniture arrangements around her, and Danny was sleeping soundly, and she seemed to be unable to get excited without him. Her face was full of gentleness and she whispered to the microphone: "I miss you."

Wang Yang stopped, held his cell phone and looked up at the night sky and the bright street scenes around him. The scattered pedestrians came and went, and the assistant Susan McCarthy, who was walking in front, also stopped in confusion. Wang Yang suppressed the impulse in his heart and said warmly: "I miss you too, but I can't help but kiss you when I go back." He chuckled a few times and said seriously: "Plus tonight, I'll be isolated tomorrow one day! Will you meet tomorrow night? Countdown is fine, and having a time buffer will make me feel at ease."

"Well, okay, I'm going to bed, you have a good rest too, good night, baby!" Thinking that he had been on a plane for a day and quietly "isolating" all night may not be a good thing, Jessicas kissed him through the microphone, and smiled: "By bye!" Wang Yang said: "By bye!"

After putting down the phone, she stood up in slippers and walked upstairs.
