Hi New_Tiger,
I think it would be easier for people to help you if you were to post the assembly code you were using in x64 to attempt to solve this. Since you only provided the code in 32 bit assembly, we are left only to speculate what the issue could be. Anyway, since you posted the screenshot of what you were doing, it is clear that you were using the wrong calling convention. In x64, parameters are not passed to the WINAPI using the STDCALL convention, but rather a FAST CALL convention. Your code show be something like the following:

MOV ECX, ADDRESS_OF_SECTION
MOV EDX, SIZE_OF_SECTION
MOV r8d, NEW_PROTECT_CONSTANT
MOV r9, Address of an empty dword where the old_protect is returned
CALL VirtualProtect
