Chapter 68, Good Movie
After the breakup, Li Yun returned to the capital, this time on his own.
Tian Xiaoli returned to Taiwan, while Director Xu, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were doing activities in Hong Kong.
Everyone has their own place. At this moment, when in Beijing, Li Yun received a call from Jiang Chenggang.
"Your performance in Infernal Affairs was really amazing. Now I really believe what they said to keep you."
Jiang Chenggang also went to watch the first show of Infernal Affairs as soon as possible. After all, they are his own artists.
Even if it's just a supporting role.
Jiang Chenggang will also support it.
It's a matter of attitude!
certainly.
I watched "Infernal Affairs" with a supportive attitude.
Jiang Chenggang was furious at once.
That’s awesome.
This acting.
"Your eyes made me remember you. You are definitely not a good person."
“Thank you for this evaluation.”
"That's a compliment. In fact, I think the most amazing thing is the change in emotions in the silhouette at the beginning. In the first shot, he was still a cold-blooded knife-wielding man, but in the second shot, he turned into a good police officer, and then he turned into Liu Dehua. It was quite smooth. If you hadn't said it, I would have thought that Liu Dehua was really your future appearance."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Three lenses.
Three changes.
This is seizing the opportunity to show your acting skills.
Jiang Chenggang could see all the changes in the acting.
Not to mention others.
beginning.
This highlight.
It captured the audience , which was the icing on the cake.
It's no exaggeration to say.
Within the first 10 minutes of watching a movie, the audience will know whether they should continue watching the movie and whether they are interested in watching it.
Can you empathize, want to understand this movie, understand the characters in it, cry for the characters, laugh for the characters, "Awesome."
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment." At this time, Li Yun smiled and said, "I hope our first movie, Infernal Affairs, can be a good start."
Infernal Affairs.
It’s just the beginning.
The last shot of "Big Guys Have Big Wisdom" didn't even show her entire face after makeup was applied.
No one knew that this actor was Li Yun.
Infernal Affairs was a formal debut in the film industry.
Debut?
I guess you can say that.
"From the perspective of a debut film, your Infernal Affairs movie is really amazing," Jiang Chenggang paused and said, "I hope this appearance can bring you some resources."
"At least give me a supporting role with a longer screen time."
Jiang Chenggang didn't dare to make too high demands.
Eat your meal one bite at a time.
At least Jiang Chenggang felt that if Li Yun could play a supporting role in a serious big-budget movie before the age of 30, it would be considered as an official step forward in the film and entertainment industry.
We have finished working on the movie.
And at this time.
What Li Yun is going to do.
Probably they are preparing for the next "Demi-gods and Semi-Devils".
Murong Fu. At this time.
Li Yun looked at the nobleman Murong Fu next to him.
actually.
Li Yun quite liked Murong Fu . "Can you please stop staring at me like that?" Murong Fu frowned slightly, seeming to be displeased.
"No."
Murong Fu: “.”
"I just like the look on your face when you look unhappy but I can't do anything about it." Li Yun laughed, stared at Murong Fu with his eyes wide open, and then he disappeared again.
I always think it's fun to bully him.
Very relaxing.
Hahahaha.
at this time.
The results of "Infernal Affairs" are out, with box office exceeding eight million on the first day.
The results on the first day were not satisfactory - they barely met the psychological expectations, but they did not explode.
but.
The fermentation of word-of-mouth quality.
It cannot be decided in one or two days.
Sure enough, it was the third day.
Public opinion began to explode.
In this era dominated by paper media.
The media spared no effort in praising Infernal Affairs.
Hong Kong films have been silent for too long.
Urgently needs a shot of cardiac stimulant.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The big guy before was very wise and was obviously placed with high hopes.
The genius Du Qifeng.
But this time, Du Qifeng seemed to have overexerted himself.
Many people in the media don’t understand this movie.
If Du Qifeng hadn't been so anxious, he would have directly thrown the script outline to the media.
The reporter from Hong Kong Island Entertainment Daily also seemed to not understand the movie very well, as the meaning expressed was mixed with too many Buddhist concepts, which made the layman feel a little confused.
This led to the incident where Du Qifeng sent the script outline to the media.
After following the outline, the script and the movie, the media reporters finally understood the cause and effect of the movie.
However, just because the media can do this doesn’t mean ordinary people can do the same.
The threshold for watching movies also seems to be a bit too high.
The quality of the film is undoubtedly not a problem.
The threshold for watching movies is relatively high.
The movie suffered a disastrous box office failure.
Infernal Affairs is easier to understand.
No matter what, it is clear that this is a story of a struggle between black and white, and in the end the gangster Liu Jianming wins.
Although this ending seems a bit too depressing to many ordinary viewers.
But it is the wonderful process that makes people linger.
Many people can see the connection between the beginning and the end. Why is it called Wujiandao? Because longevity is the greatest calamity in the Wujian hell, and the one who survives may not be the one who suffers the best.
Letting Chen Yongren live may not necessarily be a good thing, at least not for Chen Yongren himself.
This is the foundation for a good box office and good movie.
Appealing to both the elite and the masses.
While taking into account the content, entertainment and watchability are not left behind.
That's what good movies should be like.
And when the first week box office of Infernal Affairs came out, it gave a satisfactory answer.
The box office in the first week was 17 million.
This result is quite good.
An all-star lineup and a growing reputation.
At this moment, the worry in Liu Qiangwei's heart also fell.
"The first week's box office of 17 million can make back the investment."
Liu Qiangwei smiled happily only when he knew that the box office performance would not be a loss.
Things like word of mouth are relatively false.
The box office numbers are real.
The box office is the most important thing.
After the first week, the box office growth rate increased instead of slowing down. Hong Kong is indeed in great need of good movies. All major entertainment tabloids are reporting on the all-star cast and plot of Infernal Affairs.
Word of mouth and box office reviews are fermenting.
After these things are fermented.
Explosive growth began to spread.
Even the box office in mainland China was shaken in this era when the film industry was just emerging in mainland China.
People remember Liang Chaowei's Chen Yongren, who wandered between light and darkness for three years, and finally did not lose his nature, but instead obtained final liberation.
I also remember King Liu, a superstar who is a great singer and actor, and the Liu Jianming he brought.
That "me" when I was young has not changed.
Liu Jianming.
