Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 1390 1410 [Infernal Miracle] Part [-]
The big movie "Chinese Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs" were released at the same time.

On the first day, the premiere box office was released.

"Chinese Hero" won 500 million box office in one fell swoop, and "Infernal Affairs" won [-] box office.

That is to say, in terms of the premiere box office, the big movie "Chinese Hero" originally produced by Kang Entertainment completely beat "Infernal Affairs" produced by Song's Phantom Entertainment.

The reason is that "Chinese Heroes" is adapted from comics and has accumulated popularity since a long time ago.As a result, countless comic fans have been waiting eagerly, looking forward to the release of this movie, and now of course the premiere of "Chinese Heroes" will come to join them.

Secondly, as the male pig's foot of this show, Ekin Cheng has already gathered a lot of popularity in Hong Kong, especially the "Young and Dangerous" series he starred in, which can be said to be very popular in Hong Kong, and it can even be said that Ekin Cheng's popularity has surpassed The Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong.

In contrast, "Infernal Affairs" did not have much publicity from the start of filming to its premiere. The only news that was made was that a script "China, the United States and South Korea" was filmed in three places, and the starring role of this play was Liu Dehua and Tony Leung.

As we all know, these two are well-known big stars in Hong Kong, and they are also the "Five Tiger Generals" in the Hong Kong TVB legend.

Later, due to some reasons, Tony Leung broke up with the other four people. It is said that the five people agreed to share the blessings and share the difficulties, and forced TVB to modify the harsh contract. Otherwise, the five people would leave TVB together. Unexpectedly, Tony Leung finally But he betrayed the organization and signed a contract to stay.

Of course, these are rumors, but it is true that Tony Leung has a tense relationship with the other Five Tigers.

And this time filming "Infernal Affairs", Liu Dehua was willing to work hand in hand with Tony Leung, directly breaking the previous "discord" rumors, which can be regarded as the second "selling point" of this film.

But no matter what, the premiere box office "Infernal Affairs" really lost to "Chinese Hero".

According to the statistics of professionals: last night, seven out of every ten people went to the movie theater to patronize "Chinese Heroes".

In addition, the audience who like to watch "Chinese Heroes" is generally between 16 and 25 years old. They belong to the younger generation in Hong Kong. The general education level is not too high. Many people are unemployed or engaged in service industries such as parking, waiters, and salespersons.

On the contrary, although only three adults watched "Infernal Affairs", the age of this group of viewers is roughly between 20 and 45 years old. The age span is relatively large, and most of them are middle class in Hong Kong, including financial professionals, lawyers, and doctors. , and professional managers.

It can be said that the audiences of these two films are different, which for the time being determines the premiere box office of these two films.

The second day of the premiere of the two plays.

"Chinese Heroes" made persistent efforts and won a box office of 530 million in one go, and it officially broke [-] million in two days.

The box office of "Infernal Affairs" not only did not shrink, but also increased, reaching 380 million box office, surpassing "Chinese Heroes" according to the growth rate.

Some discerning people saw this situation and felt that it foreshadowed something.

Sure enough, on the third day of the premiere, the reversal happened.

Perhaps it was because the audience of "Chinese Heroes" reached its peak in the first two days and was already saturated on the third day, so the box office reached 20 million, [-] more than the first day, and [-] more than the second day. But [-] less.

In addition, some professional analysts revealed that another reason for this situation is the "dissatisfaction" of comic fans with the content adaptation of this comic movie.

In fact, from a global point of view, no matter which country or region it is, comic book adaptation movies rarely convince all comic book fans, and the adaptations are outstanding.

The reason is that comics present fantasies in the mind, while movies are the directors and screenwriters imposing their fantasies on these comic fans.

In this way, it is difficult to agree, and some comic fans will be dissatisfied with the adaptation of this play, and then start to complain, attack and accuse this play.

As the most important work in Hong Kong's history, the comic "Chinese Heroes" has carried the memories of countless Hong Kong people, so whether its adaptation is successful has become the object of everyone's attention.

Now, three days later, the result came out.

Among the 30.00 comic fans, [-]% said that the adaptation was rubbish and a failure, "it completely ruined such a classic comic"!
In addition, 40.00% thought, "Although the Chinese hero played by Ekin Cheng is handsome, he lacks heroism, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a copy of Chen Haonan!"

In the end, the remaining [-]% of the movie fans thought, "The film time is too short to explain the excitement of the comics. Many wonderful parts of the comics have been deleted. This makes people feel the most indignant and helpless!"

But no matter what, "Chinese Heroes", a manga adaptation, "won the box office but lost its reputation" from the very beginning.

……

In contrast——
Let's look at the big movie "Infernal Affairs" created and supported by Song Zhichao.

Although it does not have an audience base like "Chinese Heroes", the wonderful part of this drama lies in its "creativity" and subversion of the routines of traditional Hong Kong police and gangster films!

It can be said that "Infernal Affairs" created a precedent, and it was the first time that double undercover agents played new tricks.

This is a big "high IQ" movie. The plot and concept almost crushed many mentally handicapped people.

As a result, those self-proclaimed Hong Kong elites began to comment on newspapers and magazines after watching this drama.

No way, who made them middle class and cultural people, compared with those who watched "Chinese Heroes", they had time and money, and the important thing was that the media invited them to express their opinions.

Without exception——
Those elites almost all praised the drama's brilliance, as well as its astonishing creativity and conception.

"This drama can be recorded in history!"

"This is an epic movie, creating a precedent for police and gangster movies!"

"If you think you have a sharp IQ, then please watch this movie!"

It has to be said that Hong Kong, a capitalist society, has always been a society dominated by rich people and elites.

Compared with those young and Dangerous teenagers who watched "Chinese Heroes" and ordinary people, these elites have more right to speak, and the content of their speeches is also more authoritative.

Since then——
"Infernal Affairs" instantly skyrocketed in popularity.

Become a mythical big movie.

Countless Hong Kong people began to flock to this movie, and even some who didn't like watching police movies at first, after hearing the excitement of "Infernal Affairs", couldn't help but walk into the movie to "find out."

More Hong Kong people think that they have no intellectual problems. In order to verify this "fact", of course they have to go to the cinema to enjoy "Infernal Affairs" with everyone.

So--
The movie box office of "Infernal Affairs" started from the third day, and it officially counterattacked!

In just one week, it has exceeded 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the market in other cities has also become popular.

In Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan and other regions, the box office has been rising steadily. In just half a month, the total box office has reached 500 million U.S. dollars, a total of nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars!

Such a huge box office has already far surpassed the "Chinese Hero" that crushed it before!
To this-
In the future, the Hong Kong film industry will name this phenomenon --- the "Infinite Miracle" worldwide! ! !
