When rock-paper-scissors turns into cards, it is no longer rock-paper-scissors in the traditional sense, but a card game.
Since it is a card game, it is not only based on luck, but the level of technology and the strength of IQ.
As early as 1994, Kevin Ma, a third-year MIT student, entered and exited the casino in Las Vegas several times with teammates of the "MIT Blackjack" club, winning a total of $5 million, so he landed in the casino. The "blacklist" of Las Vegas is permanently shut out of casinos.
Ben Mozrich turned this true story into the novel "Taking Las Vegas," which was later turned into the movie "Blackjack."
Zheng Kaisi of "Animal World" is an existence similar to Ma Kaiwen. He relies on technology and IQ to defeat his opponents. Part of it is the method of winning, and the other part is the method that does not necessarily win but has a high winning rate.
for example:
Theory 1: When your opponent has only 1 or 2 cards, you have a way to win.
If the opponent has scissors and rock left, you can keep throwing rocks; if the opponent has scissors and paper left, you can keep throwing scissors; if the opponent has paper and rock left, you can keep throwing paper. In the same way, it is easier for you to win when your opponent has only 1 card left.
Theory 2: It is safest to ensure that there are three kinds of cards: scissors, rock, and cloth in your hand. You may not win, but the winning rate is high.
After all, having only 1 or 2 cards is dangerous.
Theory 3: It is safer to include a rock, a pair of scissors, and a cloth for every 3 cards.
Because only in this way, the remaining cards can be guaranteed to include three kinds of cards: rock, scissors, and cloth.
Question: Can we produce cloth, scissors, cloth first, and then rock, scissors, and rock? In this way, the remaining card types can also be achieved.
Answer: No, in this case, there will still be 2 rocks and 1 scissors left in the last 3 cards. The opponent can guarantee not to lose as long as the opponent keeps throwing rocks.
Therefore, people usually include rock, scissors, and cloth for every 3 cards to make the remaining cards more even. This is why Meng Guoxiang felt a problem when he saw that Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun had 4 scissors and 1 cloth.
After understanding these a few theories, let's review the entire game.
A total of 103 players participated in the game, each with 3 stars, 4 rocks, 4 scissors, and 4 cloths, a total of 412 rocks, 412 scissors, and 412 cloths.
Those who meet the following conditions will lose the game:
1. After the game is over, there are less than 3 stars.
2. After the game is over, the cards are not finished.
3. After the game is over, the number of stars is less than 3, and the cards are not finished.
If the star is 0 during the game, it will be out early.
Game 1 Zheng Kaisi VS Zhang Jingkun
Zhang Jingkun said: We play 12 rounds of the same cards in the order of scissors, rock, cloth... In this way, all 12 rounds are a draw, without losing stars, and we can finish the cards.
Zheng Kaisi trusted the opponent. The same cards were played in the first 9 rounds. In the 10th round, Zheng Kaisi played scissors as agreed, but Zhang Jingkun played rocks and won.
In the 11th game, Zhang Jingkun said that he would use scissors and let Zheng Kaisi produce rocks to win the stars back. Zheng Kaisi really came out with a rock, but Zhang Jingkun overlapped the two cards, scissors and cloth, and showed Zheng Kaisi the scissors, but the cloth actually came out, and Zhang Jingkun won again.
Later, Zheng Kaisi proposed to form a team with Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang. At this time, Zheng Kaisi still had 1 star and 1 piece of cloth, Li Jun still had 1 star and 4 scissors, Meng Guoxiang still had 2 stars and 0 pieces left. Card.
Q: Why did Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun ask Meng Guoxiang to form a team?
A: Both Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun have only 1 star. If they lose again, they will be locked in the small black room, so they need to find a person who has 2 stars left, so that they can lose again.
Q: When Zheng Kaisi met Li Jun, Li Jun's remaining 4 cards were scissors. He only played rock and cloth in the first 8 rounds, so he left all the scissors behind. Isn't it illogical?
A: There are two purposes for this arrangement:
1. In order to induce Meng Guoxiang to say: "Normal people will make their remaining cards more even." So that Zheng Kaisi came up with a way to defeat Player B.
Only when Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun have a lot of the same cards, can Meng Guoxiang say this line more naturally and not appear too abrupt.
If it were other times, Meng Guoxiang suddenly said, "Do you know that normal people will make the remaining cards more evenly", which would be very blunt.
2. Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun must have 3 identical cards in order to take Player B and they bet 3 more games. If you want to use "balanced thinking" to bet 3 games with Player B and 2 wins and 1 loss, Zheng Kaisi must have 3 identical cards.
Game 2 Meng Guoxiang VS Player A
Meng Guoxiang stole 1 card and played against Player A and finally lost. At this point, the three of them still have 3 stars and 4 cards left.
Game 3 Zheng Kaisi VS Player B
Meng Guoxiang said that the reason why he stole the cards was because Zheng Kaisi and Li Jun had 4 scissors and 1 cloth image, because normal people would make the cards in their hands more even.
Following this principle, Zheng Kaisi deduced that for every 3 cards that many people play, they will play a rock, a pair of scissors and a cloth, which is the theory 3 mentioned above.
Using Theory 3, Zheng Kaisi wins against Player B.
Player B plays cards with balanced thinking, so he also thinks that Zheng Kaisi also plays cards with balanced thinking. He thinks that Zheng Kaisi must have 1 rock, 1 scissors, and 1 cloth for every 3 cards he plays, so he asks Zheng Kaisi to play cards with balanced thinking. Cashier do not change cards.
Next, Zheng Kaisi puts out scissors, and player B puts out rocks.
At this point, player B thinks that Zheng Kaisi has 1 stone and 1 cloth left, so he can win 1 and draw 1 as long as he plays cloth twice.
As a result, Zheng Kaisi's remaining 2 cards are scissors. Player B puts out cloth twice, and Zheng Kaisi wins both times.
Zheng Kaisi and others have 3 wins and 1 loss. At this time, there are 5 stars and 0 cards.
At the same time, the number of rocks, scissors, and cloth left in the casino is 119, 122, and 97, respectively. There are many more rock and scissors, and the least cloth.
According to this trend, the final cloth will be used up first, and the remaining cards are only rock and scissors. When everyone has only rock and scissors, as long as they keep producing rocks, they can be invincible.
So Zheng Kaisi took out a loan of $500,000, and used $100,000 of it to ask other players to help buy rocks and take away all their cards. In the end, he got a total of 30 rocks, 4 pieces of cloth, and 2 pieces of scissors.
Q: Why does Zheng Kaisi say that 4 pieces of cloth and 2 pieces of scissors are the best?
Answer: When they use up 34 rocks, there are 4 pieces of cloth and 2 pieces of scissors left. The three of them can produce cloth, cloth, cloth, cloth, scissors, and scissors inside, and play 3 draws, so that the extra 6 cards are used up.
However, the number of rocks and cloth did not change much, but the number of scissors decreased rapidly. From this, Zheng Kaisi learned that someone had stockpiled cloth.
Game 4 Li Jun VS Player C
The fifth game Meng Guoxiang VS Player D
Seeing that the number of scissors was rapidly decreasing, and the rock became more and more useless, Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang decided to take a gamble, but they all lost. At this point, the three people are left with 3 stars and 34 cards.
Game 6 Zheng Kaisi VS Player E
The bet on both sides is that if Zheng Kaisi wins, he will get 3 stars; if Zheng Kaisi loses, he will lose 3 stars and $400,000.
Since Player E insisted on only one game, Zheng Kaisi found a loophole.
Theory 4: In a team of 2 and more, if the total number of cards remaining is an even number, you must be able to play the cards inside and not lose stars.
In the first case, the number of three kinds of cards is even, even, and even, such as 2 rocks, 2 scissors, and 2 cloths. The cards can be played by rock, rock, scissors, scissors, cloth, and cloth. Since it is a 3 draw, no stars will be lost.
In the second case, the number of three kinds of cards is odd, odd, and even, such as 1 rock, 1 scissors, and 2 cloths. You can also play 2 cloths first to play a tie; then 1 stone and 1 person Out of scissors, 1 person more than 1 star, 1 person less than 1 star, the total number of stars will not change.
To sum up, player E wants to play 1 card, which means that the total number of cards of players C, D, and E is an odd number at this time. Only by playing 1 card can the total number of cards become an even number. If you don't play this card, you will have one card left no matter how you play in the end. As long as the cards are not played out, you will lose the game.
Q: Through theory 4, Zheng Kaisi can only know that players C, D, and E have one more card, how can he know which card is the most?
Answer: Players C, D, and E have the most cloth, and Zheng Kaisi and the three have the most rocks, so players C, D, and E would rather have more cloth than rocks or scissors.
As expected, player E produced the cloth and Zheng Kaisi produced the scissors, thus winning. At this time, the three Zheng Kaisi had 6 stars and 33 cards.
Later, Zheng Kaisi bought the cards of players C and D, and also bought information, and learned that player E still has 8 pieces of cloth and 2 pieces of scissors.
Player E has enough stars, but he has to play out or sell out all the cards, otherwise he will be locked in the small dark room. Zheng Kaisi threatened Player E: "If you don't give me $100,000, I'll make your card type public so that no one dares to buy it."
Using this method, Zheng Kaisi got 100,000 dollars and player E's cards. At this time, they have a total of 6 stars and 69 cards, which are 30 rocks, 34 cloths, and 5 scissors.
Theory 5: During the game, the consumption speed of rock, scissors and cloth is different, and hoarding cards can improve the winning rate. However, hoarding shots is not a surefire way to win, it can still be cracked.
Even if the three Zheng Kaisi had a lot of stones and cloth, they still could not guarantee victory.
Zhang Jingkun's method to crack the hoarding is to call on people to shuffle the cards again, and after shuffling the cards, they only play against those who participated in the shuffling, not against those who did not participate in the shuffling.
If Zheng Kaisi did not participate in the shuffling, then no one would play against them, not only would he not get stars, but he would not be able to finish the cards, so he was forced to shuffle the cards.
In the process of shuffling the cards, Zhang Jingkun went out of his way to give all 34 pieces of cloth to Zheng Kaisi, and then gave scissors and rocks to everyone, leaving only rocks for himself.
Moreover, Zhang Jingkun marked the scissors, so after shuffling the cards, he kept playing against the person with the scissors.
At this time, Zheng Kaisi and the three have 6 stars and 69 cards, which are 32 rocks, 3 scissors, and 34 cloths. And Zhang Jingkun has 8 stars and 1 stone.
Zheng Kaisi pierced Zhang Jingkun's conspiracy and called on everyone not to play against Zhang Jingkun, but against Zheng Kaisi, and let them choose Zheng Kaisi's cards, the probability of losing is only one-third.
Game 7
Zheng Kaisi was chosen as a rock, and the opponent offered scissors, and Zheng Kaisi won.
8th inning
Zheng Kaisi was chosen as scissors, and the opponent gave out a stone, and Zheng Kaisi lost.
9th inning
Zheng Kaisi was selected for the cloth, and the other party gave out scissors, and Zheng Kaisi lost.
Zheng Kaisi has 1 win and 2 losses. At this time, there are 5 stars and 66 cards, which are 31 rocks, 2 scissors, and 33 cloths.
Q: Why did Zheng Kaisi do something purely by chance, resulting in 1 win and 2 losses?
A: The purpose of Zheng Kaisi is to consume all cards except Zhang Jingkun. When only Zheng Kaisi and Zhang Jingkun were left with cards in the casino, Zhang Jingkun had to fight against Zheng Kaisi in order to get off the ship safely. Even if he paid 5 stars, he could only admit defeat.
At this time, Zheng Kaisi's total number of cards is an even number. According to theory 4, they can finish the cards with internal consumption. The method is as follows:
First put out 30 stones, and 15 draws are played; then 2 scissors are put out, and 1 draw is played; 32 cloths are put out, and 16 draws are played; 1 stone and 1 cloth are left.
Next, 1 person will give out the stone, 1 person will give out the cloth, and finally 1 person will get 1 more star, 1 person will lose 1 star, the total number of stars will remain the same, and the cards will be finished.
But the problem is that they only have 5 stars now, no matter how they play internally, they only have 5 stars, and they are still 4 stars away from the goal of 9 stars in total of 3 stars per person.
At this time, although Zhang Jingkun has 8 stars, he still has 1 card left. Now, only Zheng Kaisi still has a card in the casino. If he doesn't play this card, he will still be locked in a small black room, so he would rather lose 5 stars. Star, and slap yourself to play this card out.
Game 10 Zheng Kaisi VS Zhang Jingkun
Zheng Kaisi gave the cloth, Zhang Jingkun gave the stone, Zheng Kaisi won and got 5 stars.
A snippet is omitted after the game time is over:
At this time, Zheng Kaisi and the three have 10 stars and 65 cards, which are 31 rocks, 2 scissors, and 32 cloths.
They can play 30 stones first and 15 draws; 2 scissors and 1 draw; 32 cloths and 16 draws, and 1 stone left at the end.
So, Zheng Kaisi volunteered to be the one with 1 stone left, while Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang had 10 stars and 0 cards and won.
In the small dark room, Zheng Kaisi saw an uncle who claimed that he was deceived by a man in a white suit.
Before that, there were several foreshadowings in the movie. First, when Zheng Kaisi went to the cruise ship, a man in a white suit appeared behind him; secondly, Zheng Kaisi hid in the toilet after hoarding cards, and saw through the crack of the door that the man in white suit was cheating The uncle said: Without my method, you will definitely lose.
Theory 6: Don't enter a dark room empty-handed.
At the same time, Li Jun sold 1 star for $500,000, leaving 9 stars.
Zheng Kaisi entered the small black house empty-handed. Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang had no reason to redeem him. They betrayed Zheng Kaisi and decided to sell the three extra stars.
Therefore, you must bring money or valuables into the small dark room to ensure that your companions will redeem yourself.
The scarred man in the little black room only brought in $500,000, but his companion was willing to redeem him with 3 stars and at least $1.5 million, indicating that he had something more valuable on him, that is, gauze of diamonds.
Zheng Kaisi stole the scarred man's diamond, and was justifiably redeemed by the scarred man's companion.
At the end of the story, Zheng Kaisi snatched his own 3 stars from Meng Guoxiang's hands and redeemed the deceived uncle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Animal World" is adapted from Nobuyuki Fukumoto's manga "Gambling Apocalypse", which was previously made into an animated series and movie of the same name.
In addition to that, Animal World reminds me of Deception Games.
I have seen 2 TV series and 2 movies of "The Game of Deception". It is also a small game similar to rock-paper-scissors, but it was played by the protagonist with a high IQ. Friends who are interested in the subject can Go check it out.
In 2015, Han Yan directed the adaptation of the manga of the same name, "Get Out!" "Tumor Jun" was well received, and Bai Baihe also won the China Film Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress for this film.
This year, "Animal World" directed by Han Yan was also adapted from comics, and it was more complete than "Get Out!" "Tumor Jun" is higher, both the visual effects and the plot are very good.
First of all, in terms of visual effects, it is completely comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. The art, pictures, photography, editing, and rhythm can be said to be the pinnacle, and the action scenes are second to none, clean, sharp and cool.
The movie is full of comic feeling, as if the comic characters are alive.
Fighting drama perfectly interprets the aesthetics of violence, comparable to "Deadpool" and "Ace Agent", and the drag racing scene represents the highest level of industrial standards in Chinese films, not inferior to "Fast" and "Extreme Agent".
Especially after Zheng Kaisi knocked over his motorcycle, the slow-motion footage of the neighbors drinking and welding made people's blood boil.
The scenes of injections and clocks in the hospital are also very stunning, which is eye-opening.
The clips of Zheng Kaisi soaring in the clouds, walking on the seabed, and dancing with dolphins are also extremely beautiful.
Speaking of acting skills, Zhou Dongyu has already grown from a rookie actor to a Golden Horse Award actress step by step, and Li Yifeng is also transforming from a star to a real actor.
For example, the crying scene at the beginning of the movie is much more natural than "Psychological Crime".
It's not a qualitative leap, but it's progress.
In terms of plot, the movie has played such a common game as rock-paper-scissors to a new level, which can be said to be jaw-dropping. So much so that when I watched the movie, my mood was: Is this still possible? Can this be done? Can the fuck do this?
It is very rare to be able to turn rock-paper-scissors into a film, and it can be made so wonderfully. It is very rare to stand out among Chinese films of varying quality, and it is worth learning by many new Chinese directors.
The narrative is progressive and interlocking. Zheng Kaisi first credulously believed that Zhang Jingkun was deceived by 2 stars. The setbacks made him gradually become alert, mature, sophisticated, and cunning. With high IQ, he used his high IQ to make a comeback step by step. It is really wonderful to gradually become a great god.
"In the world of animals, there are only interests, no feelings" and "brothers are not reliable" concepts throughout the film, revealing human nature to the core.
Zhang Jingkun repeatedly cheated and kidnapped, the man in the white suit deceived the old man, Li Jun and Meng Guoxiang were ungrateful and open-minded when they saw money, all of which showed that loyalty, affection, credit, and kindness are ultimately no match for the temptation of money.
And the subject of "Scotland's Black Goat" enabled Zheng Kaisi to abandon his prejudice and instead look at the problem dialectically.
Human nature is changeable, complex and contradictory, and a one-sided view of human nature is a kind of prejudice. The world is not as good as you think, nor as bad as you think.
Although Zhang Jingkun, Li Jun, Meng Guoxiang, and the man in the white suit had ulterior motives, the old man in the little black room was still sincere. He did not ask Zheng Kaisi to rescue him, but only asked Zheng Kaisi to call his son.
After facing betrayal, deception, betrayal, and use, Zheng Kaisi still did not forget his original intention, and still insisted on being a kind, honest, noble, and fraternal person.
After all, there is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life, still loving life.
Therefore, Zheng Kaisi would rather risk being deceived again to redeem the old man.
After all, "I would rather be a clown who has overcome thorns and thorns all my life, and I will never become like you scumbags."
