don't call me a god of gamblers: a former god of gamblers has become an ambassador for quitting gambling, and , a brother of , has also changed from a god of gamblers to grassroots?
If there is a Hong Kong movie that has a very important place in the hearts of fans, then "God of Gamblers" played by Chow Yun-fa Gao Jin is definitely an indelible memory. As early as in 1989, a "God of Gamblers" was born, and it successfully reached the top of the annual box office champion and also led the subsequent trend of Hong Kong gambling films, and only five years later, " God of Gamblers 2" once again. It broke the record for the best-selling Chinese film in Hong Kong. Even in 2014, when gambling films were already on the decline, Fage could still become the box office champion of the Spring Festival with " Macau ".
It can be seen that the series of roles played by Fa Ge have long been synonymous with "God of Gamblers" in the minds of Chinese people. But this time, Fa Ge has changed from the sassy and unrestrained in the past. He has transformed into a "god of gamblers" who has never been unfavorable and has become a lamb who has been slaughtered at the gambling table but has been defeated repeatedly. In this regard, the producer has also changed the film title twice. , in order to hope that the audience will remember the glory of Brother Fa in the past, from "The Glorious Years" to "The Sunshine Years", and then to "I'm Not a God of Gamblers". What kind of surprises will Fa Ge bring to us when he changes his classic image of the past?

Even the movie "Initial D", which Jay Chou and participated in for the first time, was also a script jointly created by him and Japanese cartoonist "Shioichi Shigeno", and was once again shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for the Best Screenplay Award. , and then "Eavesdropping" was shortlisted for the best screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and in 2014, "Eavesdropping 3" really won the 34th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Screenplay Award.

In April 2013, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards for " ", so he has no problem with his business ability, plus the film is originally a lens Therefore, it is common for photographers to turn into directors. For example, the famous director " Gu Changwei " is also a photographer.
What's more, the first film directed by "Pan Yaoming" is " Extraordinary Mission " in 2017, and it is still a work with Zhuang Wenqiang.Taste. Therefore, it is not the first time for this powerful alliance. The two also have a full tacit understanding. Judging from their past resumes, this "I'm Not a God of Gamblers" should also be an interesting movie. , not to mention that it is Brother Fa's new "farewell" to the classic characters he has created after 32 years.
