Chapter 97: Does the role change have an impact?
The release of Infernal Affairs 2 is coming.
As a highly anticipated movie, this time various media and movie stars have invited people to watch "Infernal Affairs 2".
The focus is on the past events of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren when they were young.
This also reveals the reason why Huang Sir and Han Chen have such a big grudge in the past.
The prequel story of Focus. And this time, the premiere audience can really be described as a star-studded group. Most of the people in the Hong Kong film industry came here.
There are also the leaders of Emperor Entertainment and various investors. No matter what.
The beginning of this movie is really exciting.
And at this time.
After the role change, Liu Jianming and Chen Guanxi also came here.
"This is Liu Jianming who came before you." At this time, Yu Wenle whispered in Chen Guanxi's ear.
"Oh, I see." Chen Guanxi glanced at Li Yun on the other side.
Evaluation in heart.
She looks okay, and in terms of appearance, she can still give people some impression.
But that's it From the perspective of status.
He is still an ordinary little actor from the mainland. Indeed.
Chen Guanxi was treated differently when he entered the venue. Various movie stars came to shake his hand, and investors came to ask questions and say hello.
As the hottest new generation in Hong Kong, they are considered to be the new generation that can inherit the mantle of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future.
Known as the 'young generation'.
He has outstanding looks, a large number of female fans, and his acting skills are also good.
Can dance and sing.
"Let me present a better Liu Jianming to everyone." Chen Guanxi sat down and smiled.
He is still very confident. In this Infernal Affairs 2, he didn't give an exceptional performance, but at least he gave a normal performance. So, shouldn't his performance be better than that of the new generation of actors in mainland China? Even better.
He never thought about it.
My own expressiveness will be worse than the fleeting glimpse in those shots in "Infernal Affairs 1".
At this moment, Chen Guanxi is still feeling upset about losing the role of Liu Jianming in Infernal Affairs 1. He also auditioned for the role of Liu Jianming in Infernal Affairs 1, but didn't get it. This also made Chen Guanxi reflect on himself. When he was preparing for the role, he heard that it was a gangster police film, and he felt that this old-fashioned thing was a bit bland. The same was true for Emperor Entertainment Group, so he didn't really fight for it.
It was not until the hit of "Infernal Affairs 1" that I realized what a great opportunity I had missed.
This is how I was defeated by Li Yun.
But fortunately.
He has Emperor Entertainment behind him.
And this time I also prepared for the role seriously.
Fortunately, when I get serious, the new generation of actors in the mainland are no longer a problem.
At this time, even Liu Qiangwei temporarily left Li Yun and went to find Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Zhenyu, and Liu Qingyun.
In "Infernal Affairs 2", the key figures of the first part, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, only play supporting roles.
As for the male lead.
Should it be Wu Zhenyu?
The second male lead is Han Chen and Huang Sir.
But anyway.
As Liu Jianming, Chen Guanxi's popularity is absolutely unquestionable.
In fact, it’s not just the premiere that’s evident in its popularity.
It's the same in ordinary movie theaters, whether they are from mainland China or Hong Kong, the focus is on the people, the roles, and the movies.
Chen, Y.R., Liu, J.M.
Han Chen, Mr. Huang.
On these characters.
There are also many young female fans of Chen Guanxi who are obviously not interested in Infernal Affairs 2, but because their idol is participating in it, they have to buy a ticket even if they are not interested.
Therefore, Infernal Affairs 2 inexplicably attracted some viewers who were not the target group.
Maybe those people are not interested in the fate of the characters in Infernal Affairs 2.
But the idol is in it.
Even if you are not interested, you have to be interested.
Is that something you have no interest in? That's for the idol!
However, there are also a few voices.
Also thinking.
This time.
The last-minute replacement of cast in Infernal Affairs 2.
Will there be any impact? When most people think that changing roles will not have any impact.
Whether it will really have an impact is still uncertain. At this time, the movie has not started yet, and Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei are still discussing things.
"Do you think the change of roles will have an impact?"
"Um."
In fact, Liang Chaowei was also a little surprised at Liu Dehua's attitude. He actually thought that changing the role would have an impact.
But think about it carefully.
Li Yun was introduced by Liu Dehua.
The people he wants to promote.
There is nothing wrong with having such thoughts.
"Maybe it won't have any impact in the end." Liu Dehua just smiled and said, "I'm just expressing my personal opinion."
"Your views are very clear and direct."
Liang Chaowei paused and said.
"But we haven't seen the filming site or the finished film, so no one dares to make a conclusion about the specific effect."
But Liang Chaowei felt in his heart.
If we replace Chen Guanxi, the effect should not be bad.
Or say.
It can't be worse, at least it's the same effect.
Chen Guanxi's temperament is also very suitable for the role of "gangster", and they have a natural fit.
"The movie is about to start, let's see the effect." At this time, Liu Dehua smiled slightly and waited quietly for the release of the movie: "However, no matter what the effect is, it will not affect our "Infernal Affairs 3"."
In "Infernal Affairs 3", there are no scenes of the young Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren.
There is really not much confusion about whether it is the young Chen Yongren or the young Liu Jianming. It has little connection with the "Infernal Affairs 3" they shot, which can also allow Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei to appreciate the movie from the perspective of an audience.
Enjoy the movie without distraction At this time, the movie had not started yet, and Liu Dehua saw Li Yun.
"Our friend Xiao Li seems a little lonely."
"You really have the demeanor of a senior." Liang Chaowei looked at Liu Dehua with a smile on his face, and stood up with him.
Both of them walked towards Li Yun.
Right now.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liu Qiangwei was also a little nervous.
After all, it is his movie being released. Even with the foreshadowing of "Infernal Affairs 1", the movie will most likely still be a great success in both word-of-mouth and box office.
He still felt uneasy.
“No matter how many times I watch my own movie premiere, I get nervous.”
"take it easy."
Next to her is the leader of Emperor Entertainment, named Jiang Ling, who is also a veteran in the industry.
Chen Guanxi is an artist of her kind.
Jiang Ling is very optimistic about both her artist Chen Guanxi and this movie.
I appreciate it.
She also watched "Infernal Affairs 1". After watching it, she felt sorry why Chen Guanxi did not strive hard for the resources of this movie at that time, but instead handed it over to others.
He is still a little-known little actor from mainland China.
But fortunately, everything can be made up for.
There is even more certainty about the second part, after all, there is the success of Infernal Affairs 1.
This time, Chen Guanxi has achieved great success in both reputation and popularity.
An absolute double harvest.
As for the little actor from the mainland, I don't care much about him.
"With the experience of filming Infernal Affairs 1, we should be able to copy all the minor flaws in Infernal Affairs 2 this time." Jiang Ling said with a slight smile.
The two exchanged greetings.
The prologue of the movie Infernal Affairs 2 also unfolds with the opening song.
The picture is still dark and cramped.
This seems to be the tone of this type of movie.
There is no sunny picture.
At this moment, Li Yun was sitting alone.
I feel happy and comfortable.
Unlike others who were surrounded by people, I felt uneasy watching a movie.
No one here cares about the characters being replaced midway at this point.
Especially when the character replaced is a new generation actor from the mainland like Li Yun, no one cares.
But is Li Yun actually feeling comfortable? Of course he is not very comfortable.
No one would say that this is a comfortable thing, but in the adult world, there are not so many things that go as planned.
The plot has not yet begun, but the Infernal Affairs theme song in the prologue tells the suffering of endless reincarnation.
Li Yun, a nobody, was looking at the big screen.
After all, it was the screen used for the premiere, almost the most luxurious big screen in Hong Kong, with a very high resolution. Originally, Li Yun, a little unknown person, was watching the movie alone, but there were two more people beside him.
"Senior Liang, Senior Liu."
Li Yun was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua both came over.
"You seem to be too lonely, so we two old guys are here to sit with you."
Liu Dehua smiled and said, "There is no senior airs at all, more like an elder brother?" Li Yun had this illusion.
Liang Chaowei's situation was much simpler. He followed Liu Dehua. When Liu Dehua came here, he naturally followed too.
At this moment, Li Yun felt warm in his heart, and of course he knew what the two seniors meant . It is said that the entertainment industry is a place where material desires run rampant.
But sometimes.
There will still be some differences. Li Yun also said at this time.
"Thank you, both seniors."
"Ha, you're thanking me." Liu Dehua sat down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and watched the overture on the big screen.
The theme song, production, funding, everything is much better than Infernal Affairs 1.
I don’t know what kind of viewing experience it will bring to him.
"Who do you think will perform better, you or Chen Guanxi?" Andy Lau paused and asked Li Yun. The theme song was too long and he just wanted to ask.
The budget for Infernal Affairs 2 was far too much more. The opening song was even a bit long, and there were many close-up shots of Chen Guanxi, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he was in Infernal Affairs 2.
Emperor Entertainment Group has also spent a lot of effort to promote Chen Guanxi. In Infernal Affairs, even the opening song used many center-position shots of Chen Guanxi, announcing to everyone that Chen Guanxi's Liu Jianming belongs to the sovereignty of Infernal Affairs 2.
He knew how Li Yun would answer.
Generally speaking, I will answer modestly.
Or about the same.
However, at this time, Li Yun smiled slightly.
"If it's Liu Jianming."
"That must be because I performed better."
