……
The box office of "Seven Swords" was very impressive, almost sweeping the summer vacation in July.
The reason is very simple. "Seven Swords" has been hyped since the beginning of its establishment, and it is also the work of Liang Yusheng in "Jin Gu Wen Liang Huang".
Although Liang Yusheng's works are not as famous as [Jin Gu], and maybe even a bit less famous than [Wen Huang], he is still one of the masters of martial arts, and his qualifications are extremely old, even higher than Jin Yong.
Although the routines of the work are older, the audience base is still very large, and it is still a martial arts IP faction that cannot be underestimated.
The story of "Seven Swords" is full of gimmicks, and it is a commercial production with a cost of over [-] million yuan. It is still very attractive, not to mention that the actors recruited are also very good.
Li Tianwang, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, leads the show, and is assisted by the most famous action star of the Mesozoic Era, Zhen Bullet.
There are also Lu Yi, a first-line student from the mainland, Yang Caini, a popular female star in Xiangjiang, Korean movie star Kim So-yeon, Zhang Jingchu, a relatively famous flower in the past two years, and Sun Honglei, who is a good citizen.
However, the most important thing about the movie is the director, Mr. Xu.
His reputation was not small before, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" made him famous in the mainland. The public opinion of "Xiangjiang's No. [-] Director" is still in the ears, and many people think of him This new martial arts work aroused great interest.
The box office in the first week approached 5000 million, ranking fourth in the Chinese first-week box office rankings, only under "Kung Fu", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Heroes".
But Huang Baiming and Old Freak Xu from the east were not happy for too long.
From the first day of its release, the word-of-mouth score of "Seven Swords" was not high. After 3~4 days of its release, it finally ushered in a big explosion of negative reviews. The dog blood sprayed on the head.
The momentum of the box office also began to decline rapidly at this time. The box office of nearly 5000 million in the first week seemed dazzling, but it also began to decline rapidly since then.
Before, the ferocious box office rise in the past two days made Mr. Xu and his colleagues have the ambition to match or even surpass "Hero".
Looking at it now, let alone catching up with "Hero", it is still unknown whether the box office can exceed [-] million.
The producer of "Seven Swords" expressed grief and indignation that bad reviews are a crime, and they are the chief culprit for obliterating a classic movie and the hard work of countless staff members.
These remarks naturally received resistance and contempt from the outside world. You can’t scold you for spending money to see bad movies, so you don’t need to be kidnapped by morality.
This has affected the box office of "Seven Swords" to a certain extent. Although the overseas release has returned a wave of blood, the remaining releases have not been smooth.
According to this development, even if Huang Baiming in the East can't pay for his underwear, he will have to suffer a big fall.
Despite the success of "Embroidered Spring Knife", the failures of "Shushan" and "Seven Swords" were also miserable enough. Mr. Xu bounced back and forth between "Box Office Poison" and "Box Office Panacea".
Many companies interested in cooperation have also suspended contact and plan to wait and see.
This director is too random, who knows what cards he can draw...
Old Freak Xu and his wife once again felt what it means to be in a cold world. Before they could feel emotional, Cao Xuan called to comfort him.
"Director Xu, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. There is no such thing as a box office champion. Don't worry about the opinions of ordinary people in the world. Fan Xing and I are still on your side."
Old Freak Xu and his wife have also seen a lot of big winds and waves, so their mentality will not collapse after this failure.
But seeing Cao Xuan make a special call to comfort + express support, my heart is still very warm, at least it shows that their choice to join Fanxing is not wrong.
"Boss Cao, don't worry, my master and I are fine. After we finish our work, we will go abroad to relax. Just adjust it."
"That's good, let me know where to go later, I have a lot of foreign friends, let me get in touch with you."
"Thank you boss for your concern."
"You're welcome, it's fun. The company's new movie "Painted Skin" is still waiting for Director Xu to shoot next year."
The last sentence can be regarded as further reassuring old monster Xu, which shows that the company still retains great trust in him.
Aside from talking about the feelings and comfort of Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Cao Xuan hung up the phone, and Hu Jing, who was wiping her hair with a towel, rummaged through to find the hair dryer in the suitcase, and looked back.
"Finished?"
"Well, Lao Xu is in a bad mood. I don't think he talks much. It's all about his wife."
"Normal. If the box office and word-of-mouth of "New World" fail to meet expectations, you don't want to talk."
"Bah bah bah."
Cao Xuan was so angry that he slapped Empress Donggong on the buttocks: "It will be released in a few days, it's too unlucky. If you marched and fought in ancient times, you will shake the morale of the army and you should be executed."
"You have the ability to kill me."
"Beheading, I am reluctant, but the punishment of whipping cannot be lightly forgiven."
"Ah, I'm drying my hair."
"What are you blowing, I have to wash it later."
"..."
.........
Compared with "Embroidered Spring Knife", this year Cao Xuan's schedule is relatively more leisurely, and he also has more promotional periods and channels. He even brought in Hu Jing to help.
In the movie "New World", Hu Jing actually also performed, playing the role of the wife of the hero Li Zicheng, just a few scenes, which is considered a big cameo.
But after all, he is one of the four little female roles, and the current Fan Xiaopang is slightly inferior in terms of popularity, so it is still good for movie promotion.
"New World" has been officially scheduled for August 8nd, and Xiangjiang and some Southeast Asian regions will be one day earlier.
After the film was officially released, the main creative team of the film, such as Cao Xuan, went to Xiangjiang and Japan, which participated in the box office share, to promote it.
The promotional models of movies are different. Before the release, most of them are exposed in variety shows and various interviews.
Of course, this is not absolute. For example, in addition to theaters, road shows also have other places such as university campuses.
However, Fanxing has enough publicity resources, so there is no need to run one by one on university campuses. Although similar activities will be arranged, they are more about running variety shows.
Needless to say about the variety shows of Fanxingxi, the ace programs of several other TV stations also embraced Cao Xuan, and even Cao Xuan of CCTV's "Art Life" discussed with Liang Jiahui how to co-produce a film.
Since late July, many related programs have been broadcast one after another.
The media matrix of the galaxy has also begun to show its power. Penguin, blogs, the official game community forum [Box Forum] launched by Box Games and other online platforms, and news similar to the movie "New World" are also constantly flashing.
On August 2005, 8, about 1 million QQ users (accounts) received a message from their close friend [Cao Xuan].
[My new movie will be released soon, as a good friend, I hope everyone will support it]
Many people in the industry couldn't help gritting their teeth when they saw several forced push messages and related movie posters on the chat page, and a cute Q version of Cao Xuan next to him making a warm invitation.
Is this considered cheating?
Cao Xuan: I'm sorry, who made me have so many QQ friends, if you have the ability, you can add them too?
.........
Hong Kong, Kowloon
With a popsicle in his mouth, Awei was picking and choosing in a video store, still muttering: "I lost it, no wonder no one came, the glasses are strong, buy some new ones, I've seen them all."
"Bullshit, I have the most complete goods in Xiangjiang. The movie theater is even newer than here."
The bald man with glasses in this hurdle vest shook the newspaper in his hand, and replied without raising his eyes.
"What's good in the movie theater? They're all bad movies and they're expensive. Discs are better. Forget it. Give me another set of "Infernal Affairs."
"How many times have you watched it, do you still want to watch it?"
"Who made this movie a classic? If there is any good movie to watch now, I will rent it for three days."
"Let it for a few more days, and I'll give you another piece of Zuo Le's new work. It's about Young and Dangerous being reborn as an actress with the unspoken rules of a director. It's very exciting."
"There are too few dramas of salty wet music, I might as well go to see Mr. Cang in Japan."
"You kid doesn't understand, it's good to have a plot."
The two argued about the advantages and disadvantages of more and less plots, and broke up unhappy, but Ah Wei took the disc away.
Back home, before Ah Wei could criticize Xian Shi Le, the good brother Guobin came to his house and ran away.
"what?"
"Take you to a good movie, and keep you screaming."
"what movie?"
"Brother Kai and I went to see "New World" by Liang Zixuan. It is no worse than "Infernal Affairs."
"Isn't it worse than "Infernal Affairs"?"
Ah Wei broke away from Guobin's hand, with a look of disdain on his face: "Did you get burned out by the excitement of Wang Fei's marriage? What is "Infernal Affairs"? It's a Hong Kong film that saved the world. What does he, a mainlander, know? Call it a gangster movie?"
"It's useless to talk about it. You'll know if you go and see. Also, don't mention to me that Wang Fei is married. I really want to kill that guy who hit the street."
"Too lazy to go, waste of money."
"I invite you, but if I'm right, next time you go to Bowland Street, you will treat me."
"I asked three times, and if this movie is comparable to "Infernal Affairs", I will run naked around Kowloon."
"What you said doesn't count if you can't speak."
"I, Awei, am willing to gamble and admit defeat. When will I be fooled?"
Guobin nodded, he recognized this good brother's gambling. If he loses and runs naked, it's not like this buddy has never done it before.
When the two brothers went to the theater, the state guest bought soda, but the ticket was bought for the back row of Awei. In his words, he couldn't resist spoilers.
Awei ignored him, went into the theater, found a seat and sat down, waiting boredly for the opening of the movie, but saw two girls next to him, one of them was very suitable for his aesthetics, with fair skin, slightly fat, short hair and almond eyes, It looks very lively.
Avido, who was about to move, took a few glances. Although he didn't dare to strike up a conversation, he had already figured out in his mind what the name of their future child would be.
But the two girls next to him didn't feel Awei, they chatted on their own, full of excitement and anticipation.
"I watched the movie trailer. Cao Xuan is so handsome and has a special temperament."
"Ahhhh, I've liked him for three years. It's a pity that the crew even went to support to find him during filming."
"I heard that he will come to Xiangjiang to promote this time. I wonder if there is hope for an autograph."
"It would be even better to have a group photo."
The two girls chattered non-stop, and Ah Wei, who was rebellious against Cao Xuan because of the bet, immediately "divorced" the fair-skinned and slightly fat girl in his heart.
"Hmph, women are superficial if they only care about appearance."
Amidst the noise, it was finally time for the movie to play. The lights in the theater were turned off, and everyone gradually quieted down, looking at the screen.
The opening titles of an unknown Xiangjiang Film and Television Company, China Film, Yinghuang, Yinhe Image and several other companies flashed, and the main text began.
It is worth mentioning that "New World" uses Mandarin in most of the regions where it is released, including Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Of course, the copyrights in some areas have already been sold, and if the filmmakers want to re-edit the film in other languages, Fanxing will not bother.
However, the crew of "New World" only prepared two versions, one in Mandarin, and the other in Cantonese for Hong Kong and even Guangdong and Guangxi.
The reason for this is because the story background of the movie "New World" is in Xiangjiang, and it is actually more immersive to use Cantonese.
Therefore, the crew specially dubbed a version of Cantonese, among which Xiangjiang actors used the original voice, and several mainland actors such as Cao Xuan used voice actors.
Among them, although the Cantonese version is mainly used in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, considering that there are many migrant audiences, the Mandarin version is also released. Xiangjiang has a lot more, and almost all of them are Cantonese versions.
This move has greatly facilitated the threshold for Hong Kong fans to watch movies. If it is in Mandarin, many viewers still seem to have to work hard.
The movie begins.
The structure of "New World" is mature, and the plot enters quickly. From the beginning, it is to explain the background and create conflicts.
In 1997, Xiangjiang was about to return, and the small Xiangjiang Island was surrounded by clouds and wind and rain.
Among them, Shi Hu, chairman of the Golden Gate Group, which has a social background, wants to use this to turn to the political world, actively participate in activities, and complete whitewashing.
At the beginning of the movie, it was Shihu who won some negative lawsuits related to the Golden Gate Group, which pushed aside several stumbling blocks for his whitewashing path.
Shihu, who was in a good mood, planned to relax with his lover, but was hit by a truck and seriously injured.
At the beginning of this movie, the suspense is full when it comes up, making the audience involuntarily follow up and explore the conspiracy and murderer behind it.
At this time, Li Zicheng, the hero played by Cao Xuan, appeared on the stage. He is the backbone of the Golden Gate Group.
The boss of the group had an accident, and he came to pick up Ding Qing, the head of the faction who returned to Xiangjiang from the mainland and the third head of the Kinmen Group.
Li Zicheng was dressed in a black slim-fit suit, deep and solemn, reticent, followed by a few strong men who were also wearing suits, and immediately set off the aggressive style of the elite of the society.
In contrast, Ding Qing, played by Sun Honglei who appeared later, was a lot of fools.
Although he was wearing a white suit, the collar was disheveled, and the gold chain exposed inside and the gold ring on his hand revealed a bit of nouveau riche tackiness. The slippers on his feet seemed uninhibited, but at the same time they were a bit sloppy.
Compared with Li Zicheng, who is calm, refined and well-dressed, Ding Qing, who is sloppily dressed, shows a smirk, scolds his subordinates frequently, and speaks dirty words, may not be as charming, but his personality is definitely impressive.
This is also done deliberately to create a contrast between the characters and images of the two brothers, first to highlight the role, and second to pave the way for the future.
Afterwards, the two returned to the hospital and chatted in the car. Ding Qing always teased Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng felt very helpless towards him.
At the same time, a lot of information was also revealed, the relationship between the two is very good, they swore to be sworn brothers, both were born in mainland China, and came to Xiangjiang to break out together.
When Ding Qing came back from the mainland this time, he did not forget to bring a famous watch as a gift, but Li Zicheng recognized it as a fake.
When the two brothers came to the hospital fighting and fighting, the two also put away their smiles, their faces were serious, and they were dressed in black suits, showing the gangster color of "New World" for the first time.
In fact, this gang is different from the society that many Xiangjiang people have in mind.
In their eyes, many of the clubs are young and Dangerous, dressed in brightly colored clothes, sloppy, more like Ding Qing's posture, rather than these strong men in suits.
It's actually quite normal here. "New World" is a Korean film that was Sinicized by Cao Xuan. The script was written by a mainland screenwriter and directed by Xiangjiang.
Therefore, although the whole movie is set in Xiangjiang, it is not a completely local Xiangjiang movie. The movie itself is more "internationalized", not limited to one place, and aimed at a wider range of audiences.
In addition, the setting of the story is also different. The Golden Gate Group is a company that has gone ashore to prepare for whitewashing. Although it has a strong community background, it has begun to be formalized, which is different from ordinary street young and Dangerous.
In fact, this is not difficult for Xiangjiang people to understand. Du Qifeng's "Gunfire" is also full of killers in suits.
Many people even think that this is called a gangster movie, and the image of young and Dangerous movies with messy clothes is really too low.
This is really not an exaggeration, there seems to be such a scene in the movie "Young and Dangerous".
Dongxing and Hongxing are big, but they are not as intimidating and ostentatious as the black-clothed strong men of the Sanlian Gang and Yishui...
The visual impact given to the audience by a group of strong men in suits was immediately highlighted, and Ah Wei, who had always held a critical attitude, straightened up unconsciously.
"The momentum created by this movie is still good."
In the following plot, Shi Hu was seriously injured and died, and Wu Zhongjiu, the fourth master played by Wu Zhenyu, made a big fuss in the hospital.
Ding Qing stroked his forehead with a headache, and it could be seen that he was already aware of the bloody storm shortly after the death of the boss.
Shi Hu passed away, and the funeral was held with great ostentation. It was also one of the few big money scenes in the movie. The crew also invited many special actors to play the Hong Kong tycoon, and of course there were some real bosses who made guest appearances.
The mainland audience may not know these big guys, but there are still many people in Xiangjiang who are familiar with them.
"That's the grandson of Huo's parents, right?"
"He's also here."
"Boss Yinghuang Sheep."
"That's Sir Zhuang from the police station"
"Uncle Six is here too? Good guy, I thought the real boss passed away."
Outsiders exclaimed, but in fact, there are too many bigwigs in this small place of Xiangjiang, and many of them are relatively high-profile, so it is not difficult to ask them to help with guest appearances.
Of course, that's what it said, but it still depends on who asks for it.
Cao Xuan is an emerging business leader in the mainland, and the boss of Yinghuang Yang is a supporter, which makes him very attractive, which is hard to say for ordinary Xiangjiang crews.
And they may not necessarily invite them, Xiangjiang's filming "efficiency" is too high, how can they have so much time and energy to invite big shots as easter eggs.
Only someone like Cao Xuan, who has carefully crafted the film, does not have too many Hong Kong film plans, and does not care about the favor of the big boss will do this.
Returning to the plot, at the funeral, Wu Zhongjiu, the fourth master, clashed with the police who came to monitor, and the senior police superintendent, Superintendent Gou, played by Liang Jiahui, also appeared.
Strong and sophisticated, his words are watertight, and he feels a bit like an old fox.
While the funeral was going on, the top police officers were also having a meeting, and an assistant deputy director in charge of anti-crime was reporting separately to the top police chief.
The assistant deputy director's surname is Liao, and he is played by Liao Qizhi, an old drama player. From his introduction, the audience also understands the situation and background.
To put it simply, the Kinmen Group is the largest society in Hong Kong. It was formerly an alliance formed by the merger of several societies, and there were several factions within it.
The core of the Golden Gate Group is that the character is Shihu, and Shihu is in town, and everyone develops together.
But Shi Hu died, and there was a power vacuum. According to the rules, the superior was elected, and the factions of all parties in the group were ready to move.
There are currently three candidates for the Golden Gate boss——
① Zhang Shouji, vice chairman of the Golden Gate Group and the second head of the society.
He was defeated in the group's internal competition before, and his subordinates and territory were divided up. He basically belonged to a lonely family and is currently in a semi-retired state.
This one is basically soy sauce, and has no strength to be superior.
② Ding Qing, executive director of Golden Gate Group and the third head of the society
He is in charge of the company's real estate and logistics business, and is also the boss of Zhongyixing, an internal faction of the Golden Gate Group, with extremely strong strength.
Both prestige and strength are very high, and he is recognized by many people as the successor of Shihu Group.
③Wu Zhongjiu, executive director of Golden Gate Group and the fourth leader of the society.
In charge of the company's finance and entertainment business, he is also the godson of the former boss Shi Hu.
His strength is weaker than Ding Qing's, but he and Shi Hu are from the Four Seas Gang. After Shi Hu's death, he is expected to take over the Four Seas Gang, the largest force in the Golden Gate Group.
The Kinmen Group is the No. [-] social organization in Hong Kong, with a wide influence, and at the critical moment when it is about to return, the police deliberately intervened in the election to prevent accidents.
The head of the police didn't want to be troublesome at first, but considering the situation, he still acquiesced to the Deputy Director Liao being in charge of this matter.
And the code name of this operation is - New World
At this point in the story, the name of the movie appeared for the first time, and the title was officially asked, and the audience also understood the main line of the plot-the election of the club.
Ding Qing, Wu Zhongjiu, and the police have been entangled in several waves of power, and where should the protagonist and the story develop.
In fact, in Hong Kong films, similar elements of community elections are not new, but there are not many plots based on this, and there are not many successful shots.
"New World" begins with a parallel narrative, with a fast pace, laying suspense, and constantly raising the audience's expectations.
Many people who have prior knowledge of the "New World" movie, or who are more sensitive to the plot of the story, have already guessed the identity of the protagonist.
Since the police meddled in the election and it was hard to make it clear, they must have been undercover.
Sure enough, the next scene is the joint between the hero Li Zicheng and the policewoman played by Fan Xiaopang, who is pretending to be a Go teacher.
Li Zicheng, a member of the board of directors of the Golden Gate Group, Ding Qing's deputy, and the second person in Zhongyixing, is also the trump card undercover that the police have buried for nearly ten years. The level of secrecy is extremely high, and only two or three people know about it.
However, Li Zicheng, like Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs", had enough of being an undercover agent and wanted to end it.
It's just that it's different from Chen Yongren, who comes from a dark background and has a bright heart, who wholeheartedly wants to be a policeman.
Li Zicheng, who came from an ordinary background, does not have such a deep obsession with the police. He has been undercover for many years, and he has mixed feelings about the society, and he has no intention of returning to the police station to continue to fight against him.
I just want to end my fearful undercover career, get everything done, fly away with my wife and children, and live a peaceful life incognito.
Prior to this, his immediate superior, Superintendent Gou, had promised him that he could retire if Shi Hu's criminal evidence was settled and Shi Hu sent to prison.
Li Zicheng did get the criminal evidence, but unfortunately he failed to send Shihu to jail.
However, by mistake, Shi Hu still died, which is considered a different way to complete the task. Li Zicheng thought that he could be relieved, but he didn't want to be told to continue undercover.
Angrily, he overturned the chessboard and found the big... no, Superintendent Gou, who was fishing without a helmet, and let out a roar similar to that of Chen Yongren.
"Three years later and three years later, it's almost ten years!"
However, compared to the yellow sir in "Infernal Affairs", who constantly played the emotional card, this Gou sir is more powerful, giving both kindness and power, just a word.
It's none of your business.
Two different acting styles, of course, are due to the personalities of the two police bosses, as well as the setting of pros and cons, and it is more in line with the control methods of the two undercover agents.
Chen Yongren is dedicated to being a policeman. In order to fight against evil forces, he is willing to sacrifice himself, suffer and suffer.
So the boss had to coax him, say some soft words to put him on the shelf, and let him continue to sacrifice selflessly.
Li Zicheng is the kind of undercover agent who is more realistic. He doesn't even plan to be a policeman anymore, and he just wants to go far away. His role is more similar to that of an informant.
For this kind of undercover, it is better to use kindness and power, or even a little more power, but this will also make people more centrifugal.
Even from the perspective of plot logic, Chen Yongren will not change until his death, and Li Zicheng wants to go far away, and his management method may be different from the two sirs.
If you skip the plot and look at it from the perspective of a third party, there is no doubt that Chen Yongren is more noble.
But if the role is substituted, Li Zicheng may be more in line with everyone's ideas and more realistic.
When Awei watched this movie before, he always felt that the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" was very heavy, and he even copied it a bit.
The same introverted and deep undercover agent, the same inconspicuous good brother silly brother (Sha Qiang), the same old fox boss, who is also tired of undercover life...
But the more I see now.The two characters have many similarities and many differences.
Chen Yongren was miserable and destitute.
Li Zicheng holds great power and can be regarded as a big boss.
Chen Yongren yearns for the light with all his heart and is willing to contribute.
Li Zicheng was in a dilemma and wanted to retire from the world.
Chen Yongren and his boss trusted each other and fought side by side.
Li Zicheng fought with his boss and was even threatened.
Sometimes I feel that Chen Yongren is miserable, and sometimes I feel that Li Zicheng is even worse. Chen Yongren still has his boss to protect him, and if something happens, he can go back to the police station.
Only then did Awei realize that when he came to the cinema, Guobin told him that "New World" was based on "Infernal Affairs", which is different from Infernal Affairs.
Ah Wei, who is a die-hard fan of "Infernal Affairs", did not let go of his prejudice until then, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plot of "New World".
In this duel with his boss, Li Zicheng admits defeat and retreats.
Being told by the other party that the child in his wife's belly is a boy also made him realize that he is now being watched by the police, and he can only obey orders now.
In the two-line form, the Golden Gate Group has no leader, and the company holds a board of directors internally, agreeing to vote on the board of directors at the end of the month, and finally determine the next chairman.
After the meeting, the domineering Wu Zhongjiu drove to provoke Ding Qing and others. Seeing the car flying over, Li Zicheng was able to stay by Ding Qing's side.
This paragraph also reflects the friendship between the two, that is, brothers who are willing to dedicate their lives to each other.
Ding Qing still has big business to discuss in Shanghai, so he can't delay, so he can only temporarily entrust Li Zicheng to look after the house, and go to continue the negotiation by himself, and come back in two or three days.
And Wu Zhongjiu over there has already started canvassing votes, and the left and right are still big sticks and sweet dates, which has attracted many old fritters from the group.
Deputy Director Liao and Sir Gou reached a plan, and the words of the two also revealed a hint of the new world plan, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there seems to be another mystery.
Li Zicheng received an order to collect criminal data of Ding Qing and Wu Zhongjiu.
He and Ding Qing have lived and died together for so many years, and he didn't want to betray his brother. He almost begged to ask the policewoman, wanting to know who was watching him. He wanted to get rid of his shackles and seek countermeasures.
But he only got the perfunctory official words from the policewoman, and Li Zicheng, who had been depressed for a long time, broke out.
Cao Xuan contributed his excellent acting skills during this period. He played out Li Zicheng's grief and coldness of being distrusted for his dedication to youth.
"I want to ask you, what am I to you?"
Li Zicheng's eye circles were reddish, his temples were slightly bulging, and he asked hoarsely in a low voice.
"For so many years, even those young and Dangerous boys have trusted me and treated me as a big brother and a brother. What about you, you will only let me obey orders. Do you treat me as your own?"
The female police officer instinctively continued to perfunctory in official words: "According to the regulations..."
Unable to restrain his emotions, Li Zicheng directly hammered the chess table angrily, picked up the tea bowl, and threw it on the ground, cursed a curse, calmed down for a moment, and smiled bitterly at the policewoman, his eyes were faintly watery.
"Do you know that for this task, my whole family, young and old, are all on board... I am also a policeman."
This scene is a very big key, regardless of the villain's private goods mixed in, in the end Li Zicheng turned black and turned against the water, this scene should account for 50% of the credit.
From the beginning of this scene, he had given up on the police, but he just muddled through.
Giving up - blackening - rebellion
This step is the first step, and it is also a very crucial step. At the same time, it can also make the audience outside the venue more sympathetic to the hero, paving the way for the final climax.
If you want to promote, suppress first, this is an eternal plot routine...
With the help of Li Zicheng, the police started to act. Sir Gou found Ding Qing who was going to the mainland, showed him Wu Zhongjiu's and his own criminal files, and showed him the means, trying to force Ding Qing to cooperate with the police.
Ding Qing bought a few days for the time being under the pretext of thinking about it, and the criminal information of the top two major groups appeared in the hands of the police, especially his own death in such detail,
Ding Qing, who is thick but fine, immediately realized that there was an undercover agent around him, and his status was not low.
He made two arrangements, one was to invite the world's top hackers to investigate the information of Sir Gou and others with a lot of money, and the other was to invite some desperate killers from Vietnam.
On the other side, Sir Gou found Wu Zhongjiu, took out his criminal information and arrested him.
This move was to sow discord, Wu Zhongjiu thought it was Ding Qing who betrayed him, and became very hostile to Ding Qing.
On the other side, Li Zicheng's wife is about to give birth, and a little suspense before is revealed. It turns out that the "undercover" next to Li Zicheng is his wife.
Many years ago, one of his wife's tricks was grasped by Gou sir, and he threatened his wife to monitor Li Zicheng through this incident.
The wife didn't know her husband's real identity, and thought it was just the police monitoring the club boss, so she had no choice but to obey.
However, the information given was all trivial matters, and there was no real secret of betraying her husband.
And Gou sir's purpose is not to use her to monitor, but to act as a deterrent to let Li Zicheng know that there is an "undercover" around him. These trivial matters are enough for him.
This setting reduces the difficulty of Li Zicheng's final blackening and betrayal, and at the same time increases the audience's disgust towards the villain.
I also feel more and more sympathetic to Li Zicheng, co-authoring is not even the same with the people next to him, Chen Yongren still has a confidante anyway, this is too miserable.
Wu Zhongjiu hated Ding Qing, and Ding Qing couldn't tell. It was impossible for the two sides to calm down and think about the problem at this time, unless Wu Zhongjiu was released immediately.
But it was impossible, he went to gou sir and bought him with a lot of money, but was rejected.
Ding Qing became ruthless, so he could only act preemptively and pulled out the nails around him.
With an order, two Vietnamese killers, Huang Bo and Ba Liang Jin, took down the policewoman with two tricks, and then invited Li Zicheng to the abandoned factory.
The filming of this scene was extremely frightening. Ding Qing, who had always been known for being naive before, now showed the ruthlessness of a gangster boss.
He caught the policewoman, stuffed it in a gasoline barrel, and told Li Zicheng directly that his Go teacher was a cop, and besides this, there was another undercover agent present.
The atmosphere of this scene was extremely tense. Ding Qing's ruthlessness and Li Zicheng's guilty conscience brought the audience into the plot, and some even forgot to breathe.
Finally, to everyone's relief, Ding Qing found out that the undercover agent was not Li Zicheng, but another senior executive.
In order to prove his "innocence" and at the same time not want the policewoman to be tortured again, Li Zicheng personally killed the policewoman, and completely died.
Regardless of whether this policewoman is good or bad, she is a policeman after all, and the undercover agent is stained with blood, so she can't go back.
Many viewers are also aware of this, looking at Li Zicheng who is in a trance and can only pull out a wry smile when facing Ding Qing's jokes, they feel more sympathetic.
Two undercover agents sacrificed, and Ding Qing's strong counterattack caused the police to be furious. Sir Gou found Wu Zhongjiu and took out a photo of himself meeting Ding Qing, further confirming that it was Ding Qing who betrayed Wu and was going to kill him with a knife.
Of course Wu Zhongjiu knew that he was a knife, but he had no choice but to kill Ding Qing in order to protect himself and to be able to rise to the top.
The policewoman died, and Sir Gou contacted Li Zicheng without any disguise. Li Zicheng was shocked, but also had a bad premonition, and almost lost his composure and asked what the planned new world was.
Gou sir smoked a cigarette, looked forward calmly, the plot flashed back, interjected into the narrative, and revealed the previous suspense.
When deputy director Liao had a private conversation with the top leader, after reading the materials, he indicated that he would intervene in the election, and the top leader asked who he wanted to support, but it stopped abruptly.
Now the answer is revealed—it is not Ding Qing, nor Wu Zhongjiu, but Zhang Shouji, the second master who has almost retired.
For the police, the weakest is the easier to control.
Zhang Shouji's qualifications and status are sufficient to take over. The only weakness is that he has no foundation of strength, but if Li Zicheng assists, then Zhong Yixing's strength can be used by Zhang, so he can secure his position as the boss.
This also means that Li Zicheng will continue to be an undercover agent and become Gou Sir's pawn permanently.
Li Zicheng, who was already suffering, completely collapsed. He grabbed Sir Gou and asked him why he didn't keep his promise, but he gave a cold answer.
"There's no other option, it's the safest thing you can do."
There are threats inside and out, and if you don't follow orders, it means you are not safe.
Li Zicheng scolded angrily and begged in a low voice, but he was faced with Sir Gou silently. In the end, he weakly let go of Sir Gou, nodded numbly, and turned to leave.
After he left, Sir Gou chatted with Zhang Shouji for a few words, and expressed some doubts to Zhang Shouji that the police system was breached and relevant information was stolen, including Li Zicheng.
At that time, he thought the plan had failed, but he didn't expect that Ding Qing didn't do anything and completely destroyed Li Zicheng's information.
Zhang Shouji was thoughtful: "Maybe he really regards Li Zicheng as a brother."
Gou sir nodded when he heard the words, and sighed a little: "It's a pity."
Outside the room, Li Zicheng, who had just left numbly, appeared outside the window, his expressionless eyes moved slightly, and then he really left.
The camera turned and Li Zicheng's police information was placed on Ding Qing's desk. He looked at it, turned around and put it away, and then asked the lawyer if it was all done, and the lawyer said that it had been sealed.
Ding Qing nodded and left with the lawyer, then went to the parking lot and was ambushed by a large number of gangsters.
The killer sent by Wu Zhongjiu has arrived.
Ding Qing and the others were outnumbered and fled while fighting. Their subordinates covered him and ran to the elevator to escape, but as soon as the door opened, the six swordsmen were already waiting in full force.
In the famous scene, the elevator god of war is online.
In the narrow space of the elevator, Ding Qing used one against six, dodging and moving, extremely ferocious, and finally killed all six swordsmen at the cost of being seriously injured and falling to the ground.
This scene took one shot to the end. At that time, it took about three days to shoot, and two days to simulate. Finally, it took three real shots, three elevators and several catties of plasma to complete the version that the director was satisfied with.
The elevator door opened, six people died, Ding Qing was dying, the lawyer on the other side was hacked to death, and Li Zicheng's wife was frightened and had a miscarriage.
Li Zicheng, who hadn't fully responded to the news from Sir Gou, understood everything when he saw Ding Qing on the hospital bed.
Zhang Shouji, the second head of the family, needs to rely on the power of Zhongyixing if he wants to take the position. The boss of Zhongyixing is Ding Qing. Only by killing him can Li Zicheng take the position and help Zhang Shouji.
Li Zicheng didn't know how to face Ding Qing, but the sober Ding Qing was very calm.
Ding Qing really regarded Li Zicheng as his own brother. Even though he knew he was an undercover agent, he still had no intention of doing anything. Now that he was dying, all he wanted was to let Li Zicheng survive.
The filming of this scene was very touching. Both Sun Honglei and Cao Xuan performed extremely well. The brotherhood between the two characters made many audiences cry.
In the end, Ding Qing died of serious injuries. Li Zicheng came to his office and found his undercover information and other information, as well as the gift Ding Qing gave him before leaving, the counterfeit fake watch.
The last suspense of the whole movie is revealed, why the police want to engage in the New World Project.
There was a previous episode where Ding Qing wondered why Sir Gou was involved in the Golden Gate. The appearance of Zhang Shouji made the audience think that he was in control of the Golden Gate, but only now did they know that everyone had other plans.
Deputy Director Liao, Sir Gou, the policewoman, and the undercover agent who was killed by Ding Qing are all from the same force, and these people are lackeys of Daiying.
At the time of the reunification, they wanted to sabotage, and the Golden Gate Group, the No. [-] society in Hong Kong, was the best thug.
They had contacted Shihu before, but Shihu just wanted to go ashore for nothing and refused, so he was killed.
Ding Qing is a boy from mainland China, they dare not use it, Wu Zhongjiu is arrogant and domineering, it is difficult to control, only Zhang Shouji, a bereaved dog, is willing to follow them.
As for Li Zicheng, because he is also from Daluzai's background, he is not trusted and is just used as a pawn.
Ding Qing also obtained this top-secret information when he checked the police information, learned of all the plans, and was about to counterattack, but was killed.
Fortunately, Ding Qing's killing was another arrangement. Sir Gou and the others didn't know that the plan had been leaked. Before Ding Qing died, he disclosed the matter to Li Zicheng.
He didn't ask Li Zicheng what to do, but let the good brother choose for himself.
Li Zicheng looked at the documents, sat there half the night, shredded them with a paper shredder, found a container and set fire to them.
Then he looked at the counterfeit watch that Ding Qing gave him, and after a while, he put the watch on.
This scene is quite meaningful. The counterfeit watch means falsehood, and Li Zicheng wearing the watch means completely wearing this false identity, and it also means breaking with the previous identity.
Except for a small number of viewers, most ordinary viewers can't see this metaphor for the time being, but they watched Li Zicheng look indifferently at the rainy night outside the office.
Anyone who knows anything about movies knows that the big climax is coming.
While they were shocked by the scale, they also looked forward to the follow-up development and wanted to see how Li Zicheng would fight back.
Li Zicheng turned black and counter-killed, and wanted to kill all the insiders and the black hand behind it in one go.
Deputy Director Liao, Zhang Shouji, Wu Zhongjiu and Gou sir.
As for the surveillance around him, his wife had already told him when she had a miscarriage, and when Li Zicheng learned the truth, the rest was easy.
Once these four people died, the so-called sabotage and return conspiracy dissipated, all insiders and materials were destroyed, and he himself was in power, and no one would expose his undercover agent.
The undercover police officer back then is dead, and now he is Niu Hu... Ahem, Li Zicheng of the Golden Gate Group!
There are many parallel narratives in "New World", and the final climax still uses this parallel narrative.
At the end of the month, the Kinmen Board of Directors was about to hold a meeting, and Zhang Shouji took Li Zicheng to the headquarters proudly.
Sir Gou underestimated this old fox.Although he still wanted to cooperate, he also knew that Sir Gou could replace him with Li Zicheng at any time.
So he planned to act first and kill Li Zicheng. Sir Gou and the others could only rely on him to grasp enough initiative.
He tied Li Zicheng to the outskirts, and ordered the subordinates who had just been recruited to kill Li Zicheng, but the other party picked up a baseball bat and gave him a big pussy first.
It turned out that his people were actually arranged by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, watched Zhang Shouji's "underlings" silently, smashed his head one after another, smashed Zhang Shouji into a blood gourd, threw him into the pit, began to fill in the soil, and then turned around and got on the car.
On the other side, Sir Gou was leisurely sitting in the secret base fishing, as if waiting for news, with a happy expression.
Suddenly, another fisherman appeared and started setting up not far from him.
Gou sir was vigilant and silently drew his gun. Unexpectedly, the opponent pre-empted the attack, and the two sides shot each other. The killer was killed, and he was also seriously injured, falling to the ground and unable to move.
At this time, Baliangjin appeared, silently lifted a big rock, and aimed it at Gou Sir's head.
boom!
Who goes fishing without a helmet...
On the other side, Wu Zhongjiu, who had just been released on bail, knew that the election was hopeless, and was drinking at home with a gloomy expression, when he was suddenly surrounded by a group of black suits.
He froze for a moment and then calmed down quickly, no matter who is in charge, he, the biggest threat, will not be able to survive.
"Before I do it, can I have a cigarette?"
This group of strong men in black suits gave the Sidang family the last respect, let him finish smoking a cigarette and drinking, and then threw him down from the upper floors.
On the other side, Deputy Director Liao returned home in a special car, stopped at a traffic light at a remote intersection, and a taxi caught up with him.
Huang Bo poked his head out of the taxi and knocked on the window. Deputy Director Liao frowned and ignored him.
Unexpectedly, when Huang Bo saw his face, he glanced at the photo in his hand, and immediately took out the silencer gun in his hand with another Vietnamese killer, aiming at Deputy Director Liao and the driver.
Bang bang bang!
Let’s talk about assassination here. Zhang Shouji and Wu Zhongjiu are members of the gang, so they used their own people to kill them. Deputy Director Liao’s identity is sensitive, so he used Vietnamese killers.
The four parallel narratives are over, all the enemies are dealt with, and the audience is hooked, but the more enjoyable is yet to come.
In the hall of the board of directors of the Golden Gate Group, the directors who had not heard from Wu Zhongjiu, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Shouji for a long time were restless, chatted with each other, and then called outside.
At this time, the door of the board of directors was pushed open, and the heavy and passionate BGM sounded. Dozens of strong men in black suits entered in two teams and stood behind the directors.
The last two came in were two strong men, Li Zicheng followed indifferently, after entering the door the strong men dispersed, Li Zicheng was in front, his eyes were staring, showing domineering.
"handsome!"
"I got goosebumps."
"This scene is even more handsome than the God of Gamblers back then."
"I love Li Zicheng, I love Cao Xuan."
A veteran who had just received the news looked at Li Zicheng and announced in a voice of surprise and fear.
"Just now...Director Li submitted an application for the alternate chairman, and Director Wu and Vice Chairman Zhang voluntarily launched it. According to the rules, Director Li will become the new chairman of our Golden Gate Group. Do you have any objections?"
Dozens of strong men stood behind, who dared to object, everyone nodded in agreement, and Li Zicheng walked towards the innermost chief seat unabashedly.
All the directors stood up one after another along the way, facing him with shocked and respectful eyes and gestures.
When they came to the main seat, all the directors got up, but Li Zicheng sat down indifferently, took out a cigarette and a lighter and put them on the table, declaring his sovereignty.
All the directors applauded and looked at him flatteringly, while Li Zicheng, who was at the pinnacle of power, was rubbing the lighter in his hand, his eyes blank.
In fact, he doesn't yearn for power. What he wants is to fly away and hide his name, but the reality forces him to get to the present step by step.
And he has to keep going, because if he doesn't go, he can't live.
Officially returning in 97, Li Zicheng hid his achievements and fame, and became a new underground boss in Xiangjiang, leading the society to transform into a new world.
At the end of the movie, there is also a small easter egg, that is, Li Zicheng and Ding Qing are young and Dangerous boys who go to kill people, young and brave, passionate and loyal.
Ding Qing is still so carefree, while Li Zicheng is a young man who likes to laugh with his good brothers.
It is worth mentioning that this is the only time Li Zicheng laughed in this role during the two hours of the entire movie.
Chen Yongren is an endless hell, and so is Li Zicheng.
Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs" sacrificed his life for righteousness and was finally freed. Li Zicheng in "New World" fell into "darkness", but it might not be another new world.
Until the end of the movie, Awei was still obsessed with the plot of "New World" and could not forget it for a long time.
Guobin behind him patted: "How about it, tell the truth."
Awei scratched his head: "I'll ask you to kill chickens ten times, and streaking will be avoided."
"One month."
"You are not afraid of dying on the bed, half a month."
"20 days."
"It's only half a month. At worst, I will run around naked. It's not like I haven't been naked before."
"Okay, deal."
"Brothers."
Awei carried the state guest to the ticket office, and the state guest wondered, "What are you doing?"
"Looking at it again, I still don't understand a little bit."
"Fuck, watch it for yourself, I've watched it three times."
"My treat."
"…Fine!"
Ask for a monthly pass

……
The box office of "Seven Swords" was very impressive, almost sweeping the summer vacation in July.
The reason is very simple. "Seven Swords" has been hyped since the beginning of its establishment, and it is also the work of Liang Yusheng in "Jin Gu Wen Liang Huang".
Although Liang Yusheng's works are not as famous as [Jin Gu], and maybe even a bit less famous than [Wen Huang], he is still one of the masters of martial arts, and his qualifications are extremely old, even higher than Jin Yong.
Although the routines of the work are older, the audience base is still very large, and it is still a martial arts IP faction that cannot be underestimated.
The story of "Seven Swords" is full of gimmicks, and it is a commercial production with a cost of over [-] million yuan. It is still very attractive, not to mention that the actors recruited are also very good.
Li Tianwang, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, leads the show, and is assisted by the most famous action star of the Mesozoic Era, Zhen Bullet.
There are also Lu Yi, a first-line student from the mainland, Yang Caini, a popular female star in Xiangjiang, Korean movie star Kim So-yeon, Zhang Jingchu, a relatively famous flower in the past two years, and Sun Honglei, who is a good citizen.
However, the most important thing about the movie is the director, Mr. Xu.
His reputation was not small before, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" made him famous in the mainland. The public opinion of "Xiangjiang's No. [-] Director" is still in the ears, and many people think of him This new martial arts work aroused great interest.
The box office in the first week approached 5000 million, ranking fourth in the Chinese first-week box office rankings, only under "Kung Fu", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Heroes".
But Huang Baiming and Old Freak Xu from the east were not happy for too long.
From the first day of its release, the word-of-mouth score of "Seven Swords" was not high. After 3~4 days of its release, it finally ushered in a big explosion of negative reviews. The dog blood sprayed on the head.
The momentum of the box office also began to decline rapidly at this time. The box office of nearly 5000 million in the first week seemed dazzling, but it also began to decline rapidly since then.
Before, the ferocious box office rise in the past two days made Mr. Xu and his colleagues have the ambition to match or even surpass "Hero".
Looking at it now, let alone catching up with "Hero", it is still unknown whether the box office can exceed [-] million.
The producer of "Seven Swords" expressed grief and indignation that bad reviews are a crime, and they are the chief culprit for obliterating a classic movie and the hard work of countless staff members.
These remarks naturally received resistance and contempt from the outside world. You can’t scold you for spending money to see bad movies, so you don’t need to be kidnapped by morality.
This has affected the box office of "Seven Swords" to a certain extent. Although the overseas release has returned a wave of blood, the remaining releases have not been smooth.
According to this development, even if Huang Baiming in the East can't pay for his underwear, he will have to suffer a big fall.
Despite the success of "Embroidered Spring Knife", the failures of "Shushan" and "Seven Swords" were also miserable enough. Mr. Xu bounced back and forth between "Box Office Poison" and "Box Office Panacea".
Many companies interested in cooperation have also suspended contact and plan to wait and see.
This director is too random, who knows what cards he can draw...
Old Freak Xu and his wife once again felt what it means to be in a cold world. Before they could feel emotional, Cao Xuan called to comfort him.
"Director Xu, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. There is no such thing as a box office champion. Don't worry about the opinions of ordinary people in the world. Fan Xing and I are still on your side."
Old Freak Xu and his wife have also seen a lot of big winds and waves, so their mentality will not collapse after this failure.
But seeing Cao Xuan make a special call to comfort + express support, my heart is still very warm, at least it shows that their choice to join Fanxing is not wrong.
"Boss Cao, don't worry, my master and I are fine. After we finish our work, we will go abroad to relax. Just adjust it."
"That's good, let me know where to go later, I have a lot of foreign friends, let me get in touch with you."
"Thank you boss for your concern."
"You're welcome, it's fun. The company's new movie "Painted Skin" is still waiting for Director Xu to shoot next year."
The last sentence can be regarded as further reassuring old monster Xu, which shows that the company still retains great trust in him.
Aside from talking about the feelings and comfort of Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Cao Xuan hung up the phone, and Hu Jing, who was wiping her hair with a towel, rummaged through to find the hair dryer in the suitcase, and looked back.
"Finished?"
"Well, Lao Xu is in a bad mood. I don't think he talks much. It's all about his wife."
"Normal. If the box office and word-of-mouth of "New World" fail to meet expectations, you don't want to talk."
"Bah bah bah."
Cao Xuan was so angry that he slapped Empress Donggong on the buttocks: "It will be released in a few days, it's too unlucky. If you marched and fought in ancient times, you will shake the morale of the army and you should be executed."
"You have the ability to kill me."
"Beheading, I am reluctant, but the punishment of whipping cannot be lightly forgiven."
"Ah, I'm drying my hair."
"What are you blowing, I have to wash it later."
"..."
.........
Compared with "Embroidered Spring Knife", this year Cao Xuan's schedule is relatively more leisurely, and he also has more promotional periods and channels. He even brought in Hu Jing to help.
In the movie "New World", Hu Jing actually also performed, playing the role of the wife of the hero Li Zicheng, just a few scenes, which is considered a big cameo.
But after all, he is one of the four little female roles, and the current Fan Xiaopang is slightly inferior in terms of popularity, so it is still good for movie promotion.
"New World" has been officially scheduled for August 8nd, and Xiangjiang and some Southeast Asian regions will be one day earlier.
After the film was officially released, the main creative team of the film, such as Cao Xuan, went to Xiangjiang and Japan, which participated in the box office share, to promote it.
The promotional models of movies are different. Before the release, most of them are exposed in variety shows and various interviews.
Of course, this is not absolute. For example, in addition to theaters, road shows also have other places such as university campuses.
However, Fanxing has enough publicity resources, so there is no need to run one by one on university campuses. Although similar activities will be arranged, they are more about running variety shows.
Needless to say about the variety shows of Fanxingxi, the ace programs of several other TV stations also embraced Cao Xuan, and even Cao Xuan of CCTV's "Art Life" discussed with Liang Jiahui how to co-produce a film.
Since late July, many related programs have been broadcast one after another.
The media matrix of the galaxy has also begun to show its power. Penguin, blogs, the official game community forum [Box Forum] launched by Box Games and other online platforms, and news similar to the movie "New World" are also constantly flashing.
On August 2005, 8, about 1 million QQ users (accounts) received a message from their close friend [Cao Xuan].
[My new movie will be released soon, as a good friend, I hope everyone will support it]
Many people in the industry couldn't help gritting their teeth when they saw several forced push messages and related movie posters on the chat page, and a cute Q version of Cao Xuan next to him making a warm invitation.
Is this considered cheating?
Cao Xuan: I'm sorry, who made me have so many QQ friends, if you have the ability, you can add them too?
.........
Hong Kong, Kowloon
With a popsicle in his mouth, Awei was picking and choosing in a video store, still muttering: "I lost it, no wonder no one came, the glasses are strong, buy some new ones, I've seen them all."
"Bullshit, I have the most complete goods in Xiangjiang. The movie theater is even newer than here."
The bald man with glasses in this hurdle vest shook the newspaper in his hand, and replied without raising his eyes.
"What's good in the movie theater? They're all bad movies and they're expensive. Discs are better. Forget it. Give me another set of "Infernal Affairs."
"How many times have you watched it, do you still want to watch it?"
"Who made this movie a classic? If there is any good movie to watch now, I will rent it for three days."
"Let it for a few more days, and I'll give you another piece of Zuo Le's new work. It's about Young and Dangerous being reborn as an actress with the unspoken rules of a director. It's very exciting."
"There are too few dramas of salty wet music, I might as well go to see Mr. Cang in Japan."
"You kid doesn't understand, it's good to have a plot."
The two argued about the advantages and disadvantages of more and less plots, and broke up unhappy, but Ah Wei took the disc away.
Back home, before Ah Wei could criticize Xian Shi Le, the good brother Guobin came to his house and ran away.
"what?"
"Take you to a good movie, and keep you screaming."
"what movie?"
"Brother Kai and I went to see "New World" by Liang Zixuan. It is no worse than "Infernal Affairs."
"Isn't it worse than "Infernal Affairs"?"
Ah Wei broke away from Guobin's hand, with a look of disdain on his face: "Did you get burned out by the excitement of Wang Fei's marriage? What is "Infernal Affairs"? It's a Hong Kong film that saved the world. What does he, a mainlander, know? Call it a gangster movie?"
"It's useless to talk about it. You'll know if you go and see. Also, don't mention to me that Wang Fei is married. I really want to kill that guy who hit the street."
"Too lazy to go, waste of money."
"I invite you, but if I'm right, next time you go to Bowland Street, you will treat me."
"I asked three times, and if this movie is comparable to "Infernal Affairs", I will run naked around Kowloon."
"What you said doesn't count if you can't speak."
"I, Awei, am willing to gamble and admit defeat. When will I be fooled?"
Guobin nodded, he recognized this good brother's gambling. If he loses and runs naked, it's not like this buddy has never done it before.
When the two brothers went to the theater, the state guest bought soda, but the ticket was bought for the back row of Awei. In his words, he couldn't resist spoilers.
Awei ignored him, went into the theater, found a seat and sat down, waiting boredly for the opening of the movie, but saw two girls next to him, one of them was very suitable for his aesthetics, with fair skin, slightly fat, short hair and almond eyes, It looks very lively.
Avido, who was about to move, took a few glances. Although he didn't dare to strike up a conversation, he had already figured out in his mind what the name of their future child would be.
But the two girls next to him didn't feel Awei, they chatted on their own, full of excitement and anticipation.
"I watched the movie trailer. Cao Xuan is so handsome and has a special temperament."
"Ahhhh, I've liked him for three years. It's a pity that the crew even went to support to find him during filming."
"I heard that he will come to Xiangjiang to promote this time. I wonder if there is hope for an autograph."
"It would be even better to have a group photo."
The two girls chattered non-stop, and Ah Wei, who was rebellious against Cao Xuan because of the bet, immediately "divorced" the fair-skinned and slightly fat girl in his heart.
"Hmph, women are superficial if they only care about appearance."
Amidst the noise, it was finally time for the movie to play. The lights in the theater were turned off, and everyone gradually quieted down, looking at the screen.
The opening titles of an unknown Xiangjiang Film and Television Company, China Film, Yinghuang, Yinhe Image and several other companies flashed, and the main text began.
It is worth mentioning that "New World" uses Mandarin in most of the regions where it is released, including Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Of course, the copyrights in some areas have already been sold, and if the filmmakers want to re-edit the film in other languages, Fanxing will not bother.
However, the crew of "New World" only prepared two versions, one in Mandarin, and the other in Cantonese for Hong Kong and even Guangdong and Guangxi.
The reason for this is because the story background of the movie "New World" is in Xiangjiang, and it is actually more immersive to use Cantonese.
Therefore, the crew specially dubbed a version of Cantonese, among which Xiangjiang actors used the original voice, and several mainland actors such as Cao Xuan used voice actors.
Among them, although the Cantonese version is mainly used in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, considering that there are many migrant audiences, the Mandarin version is also released. Xiangjiang has a lot more, and almost all of them are Cantonese versions.
This move has greatly facilitated the threshold for Hong Kong fans to watch movies. If it is in Mandarin, many viewers still seem to have to work hard.
The movie begins.
The structure of "New World" is mature, and the plot enters quickly. From the beginning, it is to explain the background and create conflicts.
In 1997, Xiangjiang was about to return, and the small Xiangjiang Island was surrounded by clouds and wind and rain.
Among them, Shi Hu, chairman of the Golden Gate Group, which has a social background, wants to use this to turn to the political world, actively participate in activities, and complete whitewashing.
At the beginning of the movie, it was Shihu who won some negative lawsuits related to the Golden Gate Group, which pushed aside several stumbling blocks for his whitewashing path.
Shihu, who was in a good mood, planned to relax with his lover, but was hit by a truck and seriously injured.
At the beginning of this movie, the suspense is full when it comes up, making the audience involuntarily follow up and explore the conspiracy and murderer behind it.
At this time, Li Zicheng, the hero played by Cao Xuan, appeared on the stage. He is the backbone of the Golden Gate Group.
The boss of the group had an accident, and he came to pick up Ding Qing, the head of the faction who returned to Xiangjiang from the mainland and the third head of the Kinmen Group.
Li Zicheng was dressed in a black slim-fit suit, deep and solemn, reticent, followed by a few strong men who were also wearing suits, and immediately set off the aggressive style of the elite of the society.
In contrast, Ding Qing, played by Sun Honglei who appeared later, was a lot of fools.
Although he was wearing a white suit, the collar was disheveled, and the gold chain exposed inside and the gold ring on his hand revealed a bit of nouveau riche tackiness. The slippers on his feet seemed uninhibited, but at the same time they were a bit sloppy.
Compared with Li Zicheng, who is calm, refined and well-dressed, Ding Qing, who is sloppily dressed, shows a smirk, scolds his subordinates frequently, and speaks dirty words, may not be as charming, but his personality is definitely impressive.
This is also done deliberately to create a contrast between the characters and images of the two brothers, first to highlight the role, and second to pave the way for the future.
Afterwards, the two returned to the hospital and chatted in the car. Ding Qing always teased Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng felt very helpless towards him.
At the same time, a lot of information was also revealed, the relationship between the two is very good, they swore to be sworn brothers, both were born in mainland China, and came to Xiangjiang to break out together.
When Ding Qing came back from the mainland this time, he did not forget to bring a famous watch as a gift, but Li Zicheng recognized it as a fake.
When the two brothers came to the hospital fighting and fighting, the two also put away their smiles, their faces were serious, and they were dressed in black suits, showing the gangster color of "New World" for the first time.
In fact, this gang is different from the society that many Xiangjiang people have in mind.
In their eyes, many of the clubs are young and Dangerous, dressed in brightly colored clothes, sloppy, more like Ding Qing's posture, rather than these strong men in suits.
It's actually quite normal here. "New World" is a Korean film that was Sinicized by Cao Xuan. The script was written by a mainland screenwriter and directed by Xiangjiang.
Therefore, although the whole movie is set in Xiangjiang, it is not a completely local Xiangjiang movie. The movie itself is more "internationalized", not limited to one place, and aimed at a wider range of audiences.
In addition, the setting of the story is also different. The Golden Gate Group is a company that has gone ashore to prepare for whitewashing. Although it has a strong community background, it has begun to be formalized, which is different from ordinary street young and Dangerous.
In fact, this is not difficult for Xiangjiang people to understand. Du Qifeng's "Gunfire" is also full of killers in suits.
Many people even think that this is called a gangster movie, and the image of young and Dangerous movies with messy clothes is really too low.
This is really not an exaggeration, there seems to be such a scene in the movie "Young and Dangerous".
Dongxing and Hongxing are big, but they are not as intimidating and ostentatious as the black-clothed strong men of the Sanlian Gang and Yishui...
The visual impact given to the audience by a group of strong men in suits was immediately highlighted, and Ah Wei, who had always held a critical attitude, straightened up unconsciously.
"The momentum created by this movie is still good."
In the following plot, Shi Hu was seriously injured and died, and Wu Zhongjiu, the fourth master played by Wu Zhenyu, made a big fuss in the hospital.
Ding Qing stroked his forehead with a headache, and it could be seen that he was already aware of the bloody storm shortly after the death of the boss.
Shi Hu passed away, and the funeral was held with great ostentation. It was also one of the few big money scenes in the movie. The crew also invited many special actors to play the Hong Kong tycoon, and of course there were some real bosses who made guest appearances.
The mainland audience may not know these big guys, but there are still many people in Xiangjiang who are familiar with them.
"That's the grandson of Huo's parents, right?"
"He's also here."
"Boss Yinghuang Sheep."
"That's Sir Zhuang from the police station"
"Uncle Six is here too? Good guy, I thought the real boss passed away."
Outsiders exclaimed, but in fact, there are too many bigwigs in this small place of Xiangjiang, and many of them are relatively high-profile, so it is not difficult to ask them to help with guest appearances.
Of course, that's what it said, but it still depends on who asks for it.
Cao Xuan is an emerging business leader in the mainland, and the boss of Yinghuang Yang is a supporter, which makes him very attractive, which is hard to say for ordinary Xiangjiang crews.
And they may not necessarily invite them, Xiangjiang's filming "efficiency" is too high, how can they have so much time and energy to invite big shots as easter eggs.
Only someone like Cao Xuan, who has carefully crafted the film, does not have too many Hong Kong film plans, and does not care about the favor of the big boss will do this.
Returning to the plot, at the funeral, Wu Zhongjiu, the fourth master, clashed with the police who came to monitor, and the senior police superintendent, Superintendent Gou, played by Liang Jiahui, also appeared.
Strong and sophisticated, his words are watertight, and he feels a bit like an old fox.
While the funeral was going on, the top police officers were also having a meeting, and an assistant deputy director in charge of anti-crime was reporting separately to the top police chief.
The assistant deputy director's surname is Liao, and he is played by Liao Qizhi, an old drama player. From his introduction, the audience also understands the situation and background.
To put it simply, the Kinmen Group is the largest society in Hong Kong. It was formerly an alliance formed by the merger of several societies, and there were several factions within it.
The core of the Golden Gate Group is that the character is Shihu, and Shihu is in town, and everyone develops together.
But Shi Hu died, and there was a power vacuum. According to the rules, the superior was elected, and the factions of all parties in the group were ready to move.
There are currently three candidates for the Golden Gate boss——
① Zhang Shouji, vice chairman of the Golden Gate Group and the second head of the society.
He was defeated in the group's internal competition before, and his subordinates and territory were divided up. He basically belonged to a lonely family and is currently in a semi-retired state.
This one is basically soy sauce, and has no strength to be superior.
② Ding Qing, executive director of Golden Gate Group and the third head of the society
He is in charge of the company's real estate and logistics business, and is also the boss of Zhongyixing, an internal faction of the Golden Gate Group, with extremely strong strength.
Both prestige and strength are very high, and he is recognized by many people as the successor of Shihu Group.
③Wu Zhongjiu, executive director of Golden Gate Group and the fourth leader of the society.
In charge of the company's finance and entertainment business, he is also the godson of the former boss Shi Hu.
His strength is weaker than Ding Qing's, but he and Shi Hu are from the Four Seas Gang. After Shi Hu's death, he is expected to take over the Four Seas Gang, the largest force in the Golden Gate Group.
The Kinmen Group is the No. [-] social organization in Hong Kong, with a wide influence, and at the critical moment when it is about to return, the police deliberately intervened in the election to prevent accidents.
The head of the police didn't want to be troublesome at first, but considering the situation, he still acquiesced to the Deputy Director Liao being in charge of this matter.
And the code name of this operation is - New World
At this point in the story, the name of the movie appeared for the first time, and the title was officially asked, and the audience also understood the main line of the plot-the election of the club.
Ding Qing, Wu Zhongjiu, and the police have been entangled in several waves of power, and where should the protagonist and the story develop.
In fact, in Hong Kong films, similar elements of community elections are not new, but there are not many plots based on this, and there are not many successful shots.
"New World" begins with a parallel narrative, with a fast pace, laying suspense, and constantly raising the audience's expectations.
Many people who have prior knowledge of the "New World" movie, or who are more sensitive to the plot of the story, have already guessed the identity of the protagonist.
Since the police meddled in the election and it was hard to make it clear, they must have been undercover.
Sure enough, the next scene is the joint between the hero Li Zicheng and the policewoman played by Fan Xiaopang, who is pretending to be a Go teacher.
Li Zicheng, a member of the board of directors of the Golden Gate Group, Ding Qing's deputy, and the second person in Zhongyixing, is also the trump card undercover that the police have buried for nearly ten years. The level of secrecy is extremely high, and only two or three people know about it.
However, Li Zicheng, like Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs", had enough of being an undercover agent and wanted to end it.
It's just that it's different from Chen Yongren, who comes from a dark background and has a bright heart, who wholeheartedly wants to be a policeman.
Li Zicheng, who came from an ordinary background, does not have such a deep obsession with the police. He has been undercover for many years, and he has mixed feelings about the society, and he has no intention of returning to the police station to continue to fight against him.
I just want to end my fearful undercover career, get everything done, fly away with my wife and children, and live a peaceful life incognito.
Prior to this, his immediate superior, Superintendent Gou, had promised him that he could retire if Shi Hu's criminal evidence was settled and Shi Hu sent to prison.
Li Zicheng did get the criminal evidence, but unfortunately he failed to send Shihu to jail.
However, by mistake, Shi Hu still died, which is considered a different way to complete the task. Li Zicheng thought that he could be relieved, but he didn't want to be told to continue undercover.
Angrily, he overturned the chessboard and found the big... no, Superintendent Gou, who was fishing without a helmet, and let out a roar similar to that of Chen Yongren.
"Three years later and three years later, it's almost ten years!"
However, compared to the yellow sir in "Infernal Affairs", who constantly played the emotional card, this Gou sir is more powerful, giving both kindness and power, just a word.
It's none of your business.
Two different acting styles, of course, are due to the personalities of the two police bosses, as well as the setting of pros and cons, and it is more in line with the control methods of the two undercover agents.
Chen Yongren is dedicated to being a policeman. In order to fight against evil forces, he is willing to sacrifice himself, suffer and suffer.
So the boss had to coax him, say some soft words to put him on the shelf, and let him continue to sacrifice selflessly.
Li Zicheng is the kind of undercover agent who is more realistic. He doesn't even plan to be a policeman anymore, and he just wants to go far away. His role is more similar to that of an informant.
For this kind of undercover, it is better to use kindness and power, or even a little more power, but this will also make people more centrifugal.
Even from the perspective of plot logic, Chen Yongren will not change until his death, and Li Zicheng wants to go far away, and his management method may be different from the two sirs.
If you skip the plot and look at it from the perspective of a third party, there is no doubt that Chen Yongren is more noble.
But if the role is substituted, Li Zicheng may be more in line with everyone's ideas and more realistic.
When Awei watched this movie before, he always felt that the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" was very heavy, and he even copied it a bit.
The same introverted and deep undercover agent, the same inconspicuous good brother silly brother (Sha Qiang), the same old fox boss, who is also tired of undercover life...
But the more I see now.The two characters have many similarities and many differences.
Chen Yongren was miserable and destitute.
Li Zicheng holds great power and can be regarded as a big boss.
Chen Yongren yearns for the light with all his heart and is willing to contribute.
Li Zicheng was in a dilemma and wanted to retire from the world.
Chen Yongren and his boss trusted each other and fought side by side.
Li Zicheng fought with his boss and was even threatened.
Sometimes I feel that Chen Yongren is miserable, and sometimes I feel that Li Zicheng is even worse. Chen Yongren still has his boss to protect him, and if something happens, he can go back to the police station.
Only then did Awei realize that when he came to the cinema, Guobin told him that "New World" was based on "Infernal Affairs", which is different from Infernal Affairs.
Ah Wei, who is a die-hard fan of "Infernal Affairs", did not let go of his prejudice until then, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plot of "New World".
In this duel with his boss, Li Zicheng admits defeat and retreats.
Being told by the other party that the child in his wife's belly is a boy also made him realize that he is now being watched by the police, and he can only obey orders now.
In the two-line form, the Golden Gate Group has no leader, and the company holds a board of directors internally, agreeing to vote on the board of directors at the end of the month, and finally determine the next chairman.
After the meeting, the domineering Wu Zhongjiu drove to provoke Ding Qing and others. Seeing the car flying over, Li Zicheng was able to stay by Ding Qing's side.
This paragraph also reflects the friendship between the two, that is, brothers who are willing to dedicate their lives to each other.
Ding Qing still has big business to discuss in Shanghai, so he can't delay, so he can only temporarily entrust Li Zicheng to look after the house, and go to continue the negotiation by himself, and come back in two or three days.
And Wu Zhongjiu over there has already started canvassing votes, and the left and right are still big sticks and sweet dates, which has attracted many old fritters from the group.
Deputy Director Liao and Sir Gou reached a plan, and the words of the two also revealed a hint of the new world plan, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there seems to be another mystery.
Li Zicheng received an order to collect criminal data of Ding Qing and Wu Zhongjiu.
He and Ding Qing have lived and died together for so many years, and he didn't want to betray his brother. He almost begged to ask the policewoman, wanting to know who was watching him. He wanted to get rid of his shackles and seek countermeasures.
But he only got the perfunctory official words from the policewoman, and Li Zicheng, who had been depressed for a long time, broke out.
Cao Xuan contributed his excellent acting skills during this period. He played out Li Zicheng's grief and coldness of being distrusted for his dedication to youth.
"I want to ask you, what am I to you?"
Li Zicheng's eye circles were reddish, his temples were slightly bulging, and he asked hoarsely in a low voice.
"For so many years, even those young and Dangerous boys have trusted me and treated me as a big brother and a brother. What about you, you will only let me obey orders. Do you treat me as your own?"
The female police officer instinctively continued to perfunctory in official words: "According to the regulations..."
Unable to restrain his emotions, Li Zicheng directly hammered the chess table angrily, picked up the tea bowl, and threw it on the ground, cursed a curse, calmed down for a moment, and smiled bitterly at the policewoman, his eyes were faintly watery.
"Do you know that for this task, my whole family, young and old, are all on board... I am also a policeman."
This scene is a very big key, regardless of the villain's private goods mixed in, in the end Li Zicheng turned black and turned against the water, this scene should account for 50% of the credit.
From the beginning of this scene, he had given up on the police, but he just muddled through.
Giving up - blackening - rebellion
This step is the first step, and it is also a very crucial step. At the same time, it can also make the audience outside the venue more sympathetic to the hero, paving the way for the final climax.
If you want to promote, suppress first, this is an eternal plot routine...
With the help of Li Zicheng, the police started to act. Sir Gou found Ding Qing who was going to the mainland, showed him Wu Zhongjiu's and his own criminal files, and showed him the means, trying to force Ding Qing to cooperate with the police.
Ding Qing bought a few days for the time being under the pretext of thinking about it, and the criminal information of the top two major groups appeared in the hands of the police, especially his own death in such detail,
Ding Qing, who is thick but fine, immediately realized that there was an undercover agent around him, and his status was not low.
He made two arrangements, one was to invite the world's top hackers to investigate the information of Sir Gou and others with a lot of money, and the other was to invite some desperate killers from Vietnam.
On the other side, Sir Gou found Wu Zhongjiu, took out his criminal information and arrested him.
This move was to sow discord, Wu Zhongjiu thought it was Ding Qing who betrayed him, and became very hostile to Ding Qing.
On the other side, Li Zicheng's wife is about to give birth, and a little suspense before is revealed. It turns out that the "undercover" next to Li Zicheng is his wife.
Many years ago, one of his wife's tricks was grasped by Gou sir, and he threatened his wife to monitor Li Zicheng through this incident.
The wife didn't know her husband's real identity, and thought it was just the police monitoring the club boss, so she had no choice but to obey.
However, the information given was all trivial matters, and there was no real secret of betraying her husband.
And Gou sir's purpose is not to use her to monitor, but to act as a deterrent to let Li Zicheng know that there is an "undercover" around him. These trivial matters are enough for him.
This setting reduces the difficulty of Li Zicheng's final blackening and betrayal, and at the same time increases the audience's disgust towards the villain.
I also feel more and more sympathetic to Li Zicheng, co-authoring is not even the same with the people next to him, Chen Yongren still has a confidante anyway, this is too miserable.
Wu Zhongjiu hated Ding Qing, and Ding Qing couldn't tell. It was impossible for the two sides to calm down and think about the problem at this time, unless Wu Zhongjiu was released immediately.
But it was impossible, he went to gou sir and bought him with a lot of money, but was rejected.
Ding Qing became ruthless, so he could only act preemptively and pulled out the nails around him.
With an order, two Vietnamese killers, Huang Bo and Ba Liang Jin, took down the policewoman with two tricks, and then invited Li Zicheng to the abandoned factory.
The filming of this scene was extremely frightening. Ding Qing, who had always been known for being naive before, now showed the ruthlessness of a gangster boss.
He caught the policewoman, stuffed it in a gasoline barrel, and told Li Zicheng directly that his Go teacher was a cop, and besides this, there was another undercover agent present.
The atmosphere of this scene was extremely tense. Ding Qing's ruthlessness and Li Zicheng's guilty conscience brought the audience into the plot, and some even forgot to breathe.
Finally, to everyone's relief, Ding Qing found out that the undercover agent was not Li Zicheng, but another senior executive.
In order to prove his "innocence" and at the same time not want the policewoman to be tortured again, Li Zicheng personally killed the policewoman, and completely died.
Regardless of whether this policewoman is good or bad, she is a policeman after all, and the undercover agent is stained with blood, so she can't go back.
Many viewers are also aware of this, looking at Li Zicheng who is in a trance and can only pull out a wry smile when facing Ding Qing's jokes, they feel more sympathetic.
Two undercover agents sacrificed, and Ding Qing's strong counterattack caused the police to be furious. Sir Gou found Wu Zhongjiu and took out a photo of himself meeting Ding Qing, further confirming that it was Ding Qing who betrayed Wu and was going to kill him with a knife.
Of course Wu Zhongjiu knew that he was a knife, but he had no choice but to kill Ding Qing in order to protect himself and to be able to rise to the top.
The policewoman died, and Sir Gou contacted Li Zicheng without any disguise. Li Zicheng was shocked, but also had a bad premonition, and almost lost his composure and asked what the planned new world was.
Gou sir smoked a cigarette, looked forward calmly, the plot flashed back, interjected into the narrative, and revealed the previous suspense.
When deputy director Liao had a private conversation with the top leader, after reading the materials, he indicated that he would intervene in the election, and the top leader asked who he wanted to support, but it stopped abruptly.
Now the answer is revealed—it is not Ding Qing, nor Wu Zhongjiu, but Zhang Shouji, the second master who has almost retired.
For the police, the weakest is the easier to control.
Zhang Shouji's qualifications and status are sufficient to take over. The only weakness is that he has no foundation of strength, but if Li Zicheng assists, then Zhong Yixing's strength can be used by Zhang, so he can secure his position as the boss.
This also means that Li Zicheng will continue to be an undercover agent and become Gou Sir's pawn permanently.
Li Zicheng, who was already suffering, completely collapsed. He grabbed Sir Gou and asked him why he didn't keep his promise, but he gave a cold answer.
"There's no other option, it's the safest thing you can do."
There are threats inside and out, and if you don't follow orders, it means you are not safe.
Li Zicheng scolded angrily and begged in a low voice, but he was faced with Sir Gou silently. In the end, he weakly let go of Sir Gou, nodded numbly, and turned to leave.
After he left, Sir Gou chatted with Zhang Shouji for a few words, and expressed some doubts to Zhang Shouji that the police system was breached and relevant information was stolen, including Li Zicheng.
At that time, he thought the plan had failed, but he didn't expect that Ding Qing didn't do anything and completely destroyed Li Zicheng's information.
Zhang Shouji was thoughtful: "Maybe he really regards Li Zicheng as a brother."
Gou sir nodded when he heard the words, and sighed a little: "It's a pity."
Outside the room, Li Zicheng, who had just left numbly, appeared outside the window, his expressionless eyes moved slightly, and then he really left.
The camera turned and Li Zicheng's police information was placed on Ding Qing's desk. He looked at it, turned around and put it away, and then asked the lawyer if it was all done, and the lawyer said that it had been sealed.
Ding Qing nodded and left with the lawyer, then went to the parking lot and was ambushed by a large number of gangsters.
The killer sent by Wu Zhongjiu has arrived.
Ding Qing and the others were outnumbered and fled while fighting. Their subordinates covered him and ran to the elevator to escape, but as soon as the door opened, the six swordsmen were already waiting in full force.
In the famous scene, the elevator god of war is online.
In the narrow space of the elevator, Ding Qing used one against six, dodging and moving, extremely ferocious, and finally killed all six swordsmen at the cost of being seriously injured and falling to the ground.
This scene took one shot to the end. At that time, it took about three days to shoot, and two days to simulate. Finally, it took three real shots, three elevators and several catties of plasma to complete the version that the director was satisfied with.
The elevator door opened, six people died, Ding Qing was dying, the lawyer on the other side was hacked to death, and Li Zicheng's wife was frightened and had a miscarriage.
Li Zicheng, who hadn't fully responded to the news from Sir Gou, understood everything when he saw Ding Qing on the hospital bed.
Zhang Shouji, the second head of the family, needs to rely on the power of Zhongyixing if he wants to take the position. The boss of Zhongyixing is Ding Qing. Only by killing him can Li Zicheng take the position and help Zhang Shouji.
Li Zicheng didn't know how to face Ding Qing, but the sober Ding Qing was very calm.
Ding Qing really regarded Li Zicheng as his own brother. Even though he knew he was an undercover agent, he still had no intention of doing anything. Now that he was dying, all he wanted was to let Li Zicheng survive.
The filming of this scene was very touching. Both Sun Honglei and Cao Xuan performed extremely well. The brotherhood between the two characters made many audiences cry.
In the end, Ding Qing died of serious injuries. Li Zicheng came to his office and found his undercover information and other information, as well as the gift Ding Qing gave him before leaving, the counterfeit fake watch.
The last suspense of the whole movie is revealed, why the police want to engage in the New World Project.
There was a previous episode where Ding Qing wondered why Sir Gou was involved in the Golden Gate. The appearance of Zhang Shouji made the audience think that he was in control of the Golden Gate, but only now did they know that everyone had other plans.
Deputy Director Liao, Sir Gou, the policewoman, and the undercover agent who was killed by Ding Qing are all from the same force, and these people are lackeys of Daiying.
At the time of the reunification, they wanted to sabotage, and the Golden Gate Group, the No. [-] society in Hong Kong, was the best thug.
They had contacted Shihu before, but Shihu just wanted to go ashore for nothing and refused, so he was killed.
Ding Qing is a boy from mainland China, they dare not use it, Wu Zhongjiu is arrogant and domineering, it is difficult to control, only Zhang Shouji, a bereaved dog, is willing to follow them.
As for Li Zicheng, because he is also from Daluzai's background, he is not trusted and is just used as a pawn.
Ding Qing also obtained this top-secret information when he checked the police information, learned of all the plans, and was about to counterattack, but was killed.
Fortunately, Ding Qing's killing was another arrangement. Sir Gou and the others didn't know that the plan had been leaked. Before Ding Qing died, he disclosed the matter to Li Zicheng.
He didn't ask Li Zicheng what to do, but let the good brother choose for himself.
Li Zicheng looked at the documents, sat there half the night, shredded them with a paper shredder, found a container and set fire to them.
Then he looked at the counterfeit watch that Ding Qing gave him, and after a while, he put the watch on.
This scene is quite meaningful. The counterfeit watch means falsehood, and Li Zicheng wearing the watch means completely wearing this false identity, and it also means breaking with the previous identity.
Except for a small number of viewers, most ordinary viewers can't see this metaphor for the time being, but they watched Li Zicheng look indifferently at the rainy night outside the office.
Anyone who knows anything about movies knows that the big climax is coming.
While they were shocked by the scale, they also looked forward to the follow-up development and wanted to see how Li Zicheng would fight back.
Li Zicheng turned black and counter-killed, and wanted to kill all the insiders and the black hand behind it in one go.
Deputy Director Liao, Zhang Shouji, Wu Zhongjiu and Gou sir.
As for the surveillance around him, his wife had already told him when she had a miscarriage, and when Li Zicheng learned the truth, the rest was easy.
Once these four people died, the so-called sabotage and return conspiracy dissipated, all insiders and materials were destroyed, and he himself was in power, and no one would expose his undercover agent.
The undercover police officer back then is dead, and now he is Niu Hu... Ahem, Li Zicheng of the Golden Gate Group!
There are many parallel narratives in "New World", and the final climax still uses this parallel narrative.
At the end of the month, the Kinmen Board of Directors was about to hold a meeting, and Zhang Shouji took Li Zicheng to the headquarters proudly.
Sir Gou underestimated this old fox.Although he still wanted to cooperate, he also knew that Sir Gou could replace him with Li Zicheng at any time.
So he planned to act first and kill Li Zicheng. Sir Gou and the others could only rely on him to grasp enough initiative.
He tied Li Zicheng to the outskirts, and ordered the subordinates who had just been recruited to kill Li Zicheng, but the other party picked up a baseball bat and gave him a big pussy first.
It turned out that his people were actually arranged by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, watched Zhang Shouji's "underlings" silently, smashed his head one after another, smashed Zhang Shouji into a blood gourd, threw him into the pit, began to fill in the soil, and then turned around and got on the car.
On the other side, Sir Gou was leisurely sitting in the secret base fishing, as if waiting for news, with a happy expression.
Suddenly, another fisherman appeared and started setting up not far from him.
Gou sir was vigilant and silently drew his gun. Unexpectedly, the opponent pre-empted the attack, and the two sides shot each other. The killer was killed, and he was also seriously injured, falling to the ground and unable to move.
At this time, Baliangjin appeared, silently lifted a big rock, and aimed it at Gou Sir's head.
boom!
Who goes fishing without a helmet...
On the other side, Wu Zhongjiu, who had just been released on bail, knew that the election was hopeless, and was drinking at home with a gloomy expression, when he was suddenly surrounded by a group of black suits.
He froze for a moment and then calmed down quickly, no matter who is in charge, he, the biggest threat, will not be able to survive.
"Before I do it, can I have a cigarette?"
This group of strong men in black suits gave the Sidang family the last respect, let him finish smoking a cigarette and drinking, and then threw him down from the upper floors.
On the other side, Deputy Director Liao returned home in a special car, stopped at a traffic light at a remote intersection, and a taxi caught up with him.
Huang Bo poked his head out of the taxi and knocked on the window. Deputy Director Liao frowned and ignored him.
Unexpectedly, when Huang Bo saw his face, he glanced at the photo in his hand, and immediately took out the silencer gun in his hand with another Vietnamese killer, aiming at Deputy Director Liao and the driver.
Bang bang bang!
Let’s talk about assassination here. Zhang Shouji and Wu Zhongjiu are members of the gang, so they used their own people to kill them. Deputy Director Liao’s identity is sensitive, so he used Vietnamese killers.
The four parallel narratives are over, all the enemies are dealt with, and the audience is hooked, but the more enjoyable is yet to come.
In the hall of the board of directors of the Golden Gate Group, the directors who had not heard from Wu Zhongjiu, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Shouji for a long time were restless, chatted with each other, and then called outside.
At this time, the door of the board of directors was pushed open, and the heavy and passionate BGM sounded. Dozens of strong men in black suits entered in two teams and stood behind the directors.
The last two came in were two strong men, Li Zicheng followed indifferently, after entering the door the strong men dispersed, Li Zicheng was in front, his eyes were staring, showing domineering.
"handsome!"
"I got goosebumps."
"This scene is even more handsome than the God of Gamblers back then."
"I love Li Zicheng, I love Cao Xuan."
A veteran who had just received the news looked at Li Zicheng and announced in a voice of surprise and fear.
"Just now...Director Li submitted an application for the alternate chairman, and Director Wu and Vice Chairman Zhang voluntarily launched it. According to the rules, Director Li will become the new chairman of our Golden Gate Group. Do you have any objections?"
Dozens of strong men stood behind, who dared to object, everyone nodded in agreement, and Li Zicheng walked towards the innermost chief seat unabashedly.
All the directors stood up one after another along the way, facing him with shocked and respectful eyes and gestures.
When they came to the main seat, all the directors got up, but Li Zicheng sat down indifferently, took out a cigarette and a lighter and put them on the table, declaring his sovereignty.
All the directors applauded and looked at him flatteringly, while Li Zicheng, who was at the pinnacle of power, was rubbing the lighter in his hand, his eyes blank.
In fact, he doesn't yearn for power. What he wants is to fly away and hide his name, but the reality forces him to get to the present step by step.
And he has to keep going, because if he doesn't go, he can't live.
Officially returning in 97, Li Zicheng hid his achievements and fame, and became a new underground boss in Xiangjiang, leading the society to transform into a new world.
At the end of the movie, there is also a small easter egg, that is, Li Zicheng and Ding Qing are young and Dangerous boys who go to kill people, young and brave, passionate and loyal.
Ding Qing is still so carefree, while Li Zicheng is a young man who likes to laugh with his good brothers.
It is worth mentioning that this is the only time Li Zicheng laughed in this role during the two hours of the entire movie.
Chen Yongren is an endless hell, and so is Li Zicheng.
Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs" sacrificed his life for righteousness and was finally freed. Li Zicheng in "New World" fell into "darkness", but it might not be another new world.
Until the end of the movie, Awei was still obsessed with the plot of "New World" and could not forget it for a long time.
Guobin behind him patted: "How about it, tell the truth."
Awei scratched his head: "I'll ask you to kill chickens ten times, and streaking will be avoided."
"One month."
"You are not afraid of dying on the bed, half a month."
"20 days."
"It's only half a month. At worst, I will run around naked. It's not like I haven't been naked before."
"Okay, deal."
"Brothers."
Awei carried the state guest to the ticket office, and the state guest wondered, "What are you doing?"
"Looking at it again, I still don't understand a little bit."
"Fuck, watch it for yourself, I've watched it three times."
"My treat."
"…Fine!"
