7:30pm, Hong Kong Grand Theatre.
In addition to the invited media reporters, industry colleagues and professional film critics, the "Black and White" crew also invited about one hundred fans to attend the premiere. Most of these fans are die-hard fans of the male and female protagonists and important supporting characters.
As the most popular behind-the-scenes producer in recent times, Tao Mu also saw his fans. In addition, there are several very familiar faces - they are actually several police cadets from the Hongcheng Police School. No, now I am no longer a police cadet, but a formal Hong Kong police officer.
Noticing Tao Mu's gaze, several Xiangcheng policemen waved at him excitedly. They also had cameo appearances in the original cast, but their roles were too small and they were unable to attend the premiere as actors. So Director Xu sent invitation letters to several people. Let everyone come and watch this movie as an amateur.
Before the movie started, Tao Mu walked to the audience seats where several policemen were seated and greeted everyone with a smile. The fans didn't expect Tao Mu to be so approachable, and they all screamed excitedly. There were even other people's fans shouting out other actors' names. I strongly expressed that I also want this kind of interaction.
The big names who were already seated in the front row kept looking back. The atmosphere was so heated that everyone was a little hesitant. On the one hand, I wanted to meet the fans' requests, but on the other hand, I was a little worried about the order of the theater and my own safety.
Tao Mu smiled and comforted him, "There will be a thank-you session for the actors after the movie. There will also be small games for fans and actors to interact with each other. Don't worry, be good."
After going through the high-intensity training in the army, Tao Mu, who is nearly twenty years old, has a taller figure, a more awe-inspiring temperament, and his skin is two shades darker than usual. He is resolute in every move. The way she suddenly smiled and spoke gently was simply full of hormones. A group of fans screamed excitedly and sat down obediently.
The commotion was resolved without a trace, and the bigwigs finally felt relieved.
Only a few police officers had flushed faces with excitement. They didn't expect Tao Mu still remembered them, and even came over to talk to them. Everyone was so excited.
"This is my first time attending a movie premiere." Jiang Jingwen, who shared a dormitory with Tao Mu, said excitedly, "It feels so different."
Tao Mu smiled and took the initiative to say: "It's been a long time since we last met. Let's get together after the premiere."
Several police officers were startled, as if they had not expected that with Tao Mu's current status, he would actually invite small police officers like them. Jiang Jingwen asked subconsciously: "Or should we go to a nightclub?"
Tao Mu smiled and said, "That's fine too!"
So everyone smiled knowingly. A staff member came over to remind Tao Mu that it was almost time. Tao Mu nodded at everyone and returned to his seat in the front row.
The movie officially started at eight o'clock in the evening. The lights in the screening room dimmed instantly, and the big screen slowly lit up.
The film opens with a scene where the male protagonist, played by Yan Sheng, is meeting with another insider. At that time, Yan Sheng had been undercover in the gang for ten years and successfully gained the trust of the boss. Enter the core of the gang. Taking advantage of his change of identity, Yan Sheng continued to reveal the gang's actions to the police. But for some unknown reason, the gangs knew about the arrest operations in advance many times. The police then speculated that someone within the police station had been bribed by the gang. While checking himself, he asked Yan Sheng to find a way to find out the identity of that person.
At the critical moment, Yan Sheng suddenly received a notice from his partner. The partner said he had found a clue. However, due to negligence in his actions, he aroused the suspicion of the gang. Although the gangsters didn't dare to do anything to his partner because of his special status. But he was under close surveillance by the gang and had no way of passing on the information. Asked Yan Sheng to meet him immediately. The meeting place was the rooftop of a building.
The scene changed. Following a burst of excited and crazy screams, the camera was filled with crowds of people and colorful cheering sticks. At the bustling concert, the male protagonist played by Yan Sheng stood casually in the crowd. Check the watch from time to time. Next to him was the gangster boss played by Zhou Yanqing and several other bodyguards. The boss was holding up a cheering stick and said seriously: "I like Zhou Tianwang the most. I have been listening to his songs since I was a child..."
The camera slowly moved to the other side of the crowd. Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, Yan Yu, played by Shen Yu, and several other police cadets also squeezed into the crowd wearing cheering shirts. Listen to the concert with great joy. During this period, Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, was particularly restless and flirted with girls everywhere. It made all the girls very happy. It also makes my girlfriend jealous.
On the other side, the male protagonist played by Yan Sheng found an excuse to leave and rushed to the rooftop of the building next door to meet his partner. As a result, just as he reached the door, he heard a loud bang and his partner's body fell from the upstairs. The male protagonist played by Yan Sheng looked at his partner's eyes with extreme shock.
At the concert, the gangster played by Zhou Yanqing smiled and hugged his confidant's arm. The official complained: "XXX has been filmed for many years. These undercovers chose the rooftop to meet. Do they think that we who are involved in the underworld have low IQs and don't understand the routine?"
Then he asked, "Where did Yan Qi go? Wasn't he here just now?"
Ah Ze, who was standing next to the boss, grinned: "He went to the toilet? You know he has frequent urination."
The boss shook his head and said, "You are so young, but your kidneys are so bad."
After the concert, a group of bigwigs left the scene laughing. I happened to run into the police cadets who were also walking out. As expected, the two faced off. Seeing Yan Yu, whose aura was so weak that he could only hold on to him, Aze said with a playful smile: "What are you doing, officer? I pay taxes. Does the law of Hong Kong prohibit taxpayers from attending concerts?"
Seeing Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, also raised his fist, another gangster brother also looked up and sneered: "You hit me. Be careful, I will find a lawyer to complain to you——"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yuanting had already punched down. After a few clicks, all the gangsters guarding the car got out and pointed their guns at the police cadets.
Yan Yu frowned and patted Zhou Yuanting on the shoulder. Indicates that he was impulsive. Zhou Yuanting stared at the gang of little brothers, disapproving: "What? You want to attack the police in broad daylight?"
"It's already night, officer." The gangster boss looked at Zhou Yuanting with a smile: "Young man, don't be so impulsive. Otherwise, you will be the only one who suffers."
Zhou Yuanting sneered. Relying on his good skills, he snatched a gun in a lightning speed, pointed it at the boss's head and said: "I will suffer in the future. If you dare, tell them to shoot. I am defending myself. Let's see who shoots faster."
Faced with the threat to his life, the gangster boss was gracious enough not to bother with the young man. Bring your own people on board. Before driving away, the boss asked again where Yan Qi was?
"I'm here!" As soon as the car door opened, Yan Qi got in as if nothing had happened, holding popcorn in his hand, which he handed to the boss.
"We're not going to the movies. Why are you buying this?" The big guy pushed the popcorn away with a look of disgust, wondering if someone had washed their hands after going to the toilet.
Yan Yu, standing on the street, looked at Yan Qi in the car with an expressionless face. Zhou Yuanting patted his shoulder curiously: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." A group of police trainees returned to the police academy.
"Black and White" is a very standard Hong Kong police and gangster film. The following plot runs in two parallel lines. On the one hand, Yan Qi independently tracks down clues after his partner's death, but progress is slow because no one cooperates. At the same time, the gang boss began to suspect that there was an undercover agent around him, and Yan Qi had to compete with the boss in a battle of wits and courage. The plot was full of twists and turns, and the face-to-face acting of the two movie kings was very exciting.
On the other hand, the police are preparing to pair Yan Qi with a partner and want to select someone from the police academy. After much deliberation, some senior inspectors chose Yan Yu because Yan Yu was Yan Qi's younger brother. The reason why Yan Qi was suspected was because of his brother's identity as a policeman. So the police suggested that the two brothers cooperate and cover each other. At the same time, it can also dispel the suspicion of the gang boss. Another group of inspectors value Zhou Yuanting. Because Zhou Yuanting had the best performance during his time at school. The two views are at a stalemate. But it was also opposed by Yan Qi.
Yan Qi feels that the current situation is very complicated and he does need a partner, but he wants a partner who is mature, stable and most importantly, has strong mental qualities. Rather than a newcomer who just graduated from the police academy, knows nothing and is in an unstable state.
Unfortunately, the opposition was ineffective in the end because Zhou Yuanting brought disaster upon himself. On the eve of graduation, he took his roommate to a nightclub and was discovered by Aze's gang for flirting with the boss's woman. The new and old grudges were rekindled, and he was taken to the police station and expelled from school. In order to save his future, Zhou Yuanting agreed to go undercover.
Compared with the two male protagonists Yan Sheng and Zhou Yanqing, Tao Mu does not have many roles in the movie. He only appears on screen for twenty minutes, and every time he appears he has to act opposite several movie stars. If you are not careful, you might end up like a certain actor, being suppressed and having no sense of existence at all. It even makes the audience feel out of place in the play.
However, Tao Mu's several appearances gave the audience a refreshing feeling. Because Zhou Yuanting's character in the early stage is a young police cadet who is arrogant and conceited, Tao Mu specially chose a more flamboyant and extroverted performance method when playing the role. Tao Mu's appearance and acting skills are already very good, and after more than ten years of influence from the world, Tao Mu is familiar with the routine of being handsome.
Whether it's him flirting with girls without any scruples when he first appears on stage to listen to a concert, or fighting back against a gangster boss while snatching his gun during his first conflict, or dancing passionately when sneaking into a nightclub to pick up girls, he strives to reach new heights of handsomeness in every shot. The lines that were originally a bit too embarrassing and embarrassing made the girls blush and their hearts beat faster when they heard Tao Mu's words. Some extremely controversial plots that might attract negative attention were also performed by Tao Mu with the arrogance and swagger of youthful vigor and high spirits. Coupled with his inexplicable popularity with the audience, Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, did not actually arouse much disgust among fans in the early stages of the show. Instead, he became the most handsome character in the eyes of many girls.
Especially the climax scenes where he acted out competitions with movie kings. The explosive acting skills that were tit-for-tat, tense and even overwhelming made the audiences scream with excitement.
Moreover, due to the sufficient foreshadowing in the early stage, the darkening of Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, in the later stage seemed natural. In the early stage, he is so handsome that makes people scream, and in the later stage, he is so bad that makes people grit their teeth. Especially after Aze's death, Zhou Yuanting was so shocked that he slept with the boss's woman regardless of morality. She also opposed the male protagonist everywhere, sabotaged his plans and killed many people. He even killed the person who arranged him to be an undercover agent, but he also tried his best to protect his superior, the senior inspector played by Wang Jinsheng. And revealed Yan Qi's undercover identity to the boss.
And at the end of the story, this thoroughly bad Zhou Yuanting was able to trick Yan Qi. After Yan Yu died after blocking the bullet for him, he successfully got on the yacht and smuggled to Southeast Asia with the big boss. The ending made many movie fans applaud with their world views shattered.
The reason is simple, because although Zhou Yuanting is very bad, he is too handsome and smart. With just twenty minutes of screen time, her presence is comparable to that of the two male protagonists. As a result, Shen Yu, who plays an equally important role as Zhou Yuanting, has almost no presence in the entire movie.
Except for the last scene where the death was heartbreaking.
So after the movie ended, when the actors and actresses gave a thank you speech, the names most shouted by fans were Yan Sheng, Zhou Yanqing and Tao Mu. However, in media interviews, Shen Yu was the most popular.
