tearjerker director

Chapter 636 Police and Bandit Movies, Everyone Is Familiar

Li Yi not only found Chen Weijie, but also found many Hong Kong Island filmmakers who had worked with him before, including Luo Xian, the earliest Hong Kong police professional.

As well as Lin Jinrong, Li Yi even gave the Hong Kong star face this time and called Wu Ting over.

Since you want to play, then play a big one, not only that, Li Yi plans to make "Infernal Affairs" truly the best lineup on Hong Kong Island!

Therefore, Li Yi asked Zhuo Yixiong to contact the four heavenly kings who were as famous as Chen Weijie. In fact, in terms of career development, Chen Weijie regarded the so-called four heavenly kings as the leader, while the other three were far behind.

However, the four heavenly kings also have feelings.

Not only that, Li Yi also planned that several leading actors, main supporting roles, villains, etc., will invite veteran film stars from Hong Kong Island to star.

If Hong Kong Island is looking for young and capable actors, it may be relatively rare, but if you want to find old-fashioned and capable actors, or even movie kings, you really don’t need too many!
This is a legacy of the golden age of Hong Kong Island.

As for the female characters, to be honest, there are really no female characters in "Infernal Affairs", there are only two, one is the psychiatrist Li Xiner, and the other is MAY!

In fact, after the news of "Infernal Affairs" came out, many people on Li Yi's side recommended themselves, or found a relationship, and wanted to participate in this movie.

This is not surprising, what surprised Li Yi the most was that he actually asked Chen Weijie to help intercede!
Huang Disheng is also the best actor of Hong Kong Island. To be honest, Huang Disheng's acting skills are flawless and worthy of the title of best actor.

But Li Yi didn't like it at all, not because of the previous grievances, but because this guy's butt was sitting crookedly. Simply put, this is a banana man.

"This is a matter of principle!" Li Yi dismissed this possibility without even thinking about it!

With a director at Li Yi's level, Wu Ting's early grievances can be ignored, but Huang Disheng is purely because of a matter of principle!

"Why did you suddenly speak for him?" Li Yi couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Hey, he wasn't like this before, and he came out of the same training class, so he can be regarded as a friend." Chen Weijie sighed.

In fact, the film circle in Hong Kong Island is very small, so it seems that it is not so surprising that Huang Disheng can ask Chen Weijie.

More than half of the star actors on Hong Kong Island can be said to have come out of the training courses of Hong Kong Island TV Station in the early years.

Chen Weijie is, and so is Huang Disheng!

Li Yi and Chen Weijie entered the living room together, and everyone stood up one after another.

"Director Li!"

"Director Li!"

Perhaps the vast majority of people here are older than Li Yi, and they are all Li Yi's seniors, but at this moment, everyone stood up.

Because Li Yi is the director, Qi is the leading director.

The Hong Kong Island media called Li Yi the light of Hong Kong Island movies, which can be said to be recognized.

In fact, many veteran actors in Hong Kong Island, even the film kings, do not live so comfortably.

After all, Hong Kong Island Film Awards, Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, etc., produce one actor a year, and occasionally two a year.

So, there are really not that many people.

"Old Zhuo, send the script to everyone!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Of course, the scripts distributed to everyone are not complete scripts, but character scripts and story outlines.

Li Yi didn't engage in a large-scale audition for Shenma. It can almost be said that if there is no problem, the main cast can be finalized today.

And these people present today can be said to be almost the most luxurious lineup that Hong Kong Island can offer.

The script can be thin or thick. After all, there are only those characters in the movie, some have more roles, and some have fewer roles.

"You should read the script first!" Li Yi sat down with a smile and motioned everyone to read the script first.

Among the actors present, even the younger Lin Jinrong had already made many films.

Not to mention a veteran actor like Chen Weijie, who has made hundreds of movies in his career!
Among them, gangster films are naturally indispensable!
Everyone is extremely looking forward to and curious about Li Yi's police and gangster film that has revived the Hong Kong film.

After all, Li Yi has never missed a shot because of his famous name. Although he doesn't like big productions, it doesn't prevent him from being the number one box office film director in Huaguo, and almost the number one award!

Everyone opened it and looked at it.

For a while, the living room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of everyone flipping through the pages of the script.

Chen Weijie was also very curious about what kind of script Li Yi would come up with.

He is really familiar with gangster movies on Hong Kong Island!
Just as soon as he opened the script and saw the passage on the title page, Chen Weijie couldn't help being startled.

"Infernal Affairs" - the nineteenth volume of "Nirvana Sutra" has a saying: The most of the eight hells is called the Infernal Hell, which means suffering without interruption.Those who receive the body will never die, and longevity is a catastrophe in the endless hell.

Not only Chen Weijie, but other people's eyes lit up when they saw the explanation of the movie title "Infernal Affairs".

Because if you think about it carefully, the Infernal Hell is used to describe the environment in which the undercover agent lives. It can be said that it is really... too appropriate.

What is undercover?You are in the heart of the enemy, and you must be careful of revealing your identity at any time, because once an undercover agent reveals his identity, he will die!
Everyone began to read the synopsis of the movie. In fact, there are quite a lot of undercover gangster movies among the old Hong Kong movies.

This is not new, it is the usual style of old Hong Kong films.

But they soon discovered that "Infernal Affairs" was very different from the Hong Kong Island undercover police movies they were familiar with in the past.

Usually Hong Kong Island gangster films, undercover refers to the police force sending police officers to undercover gangsters, associations, criminal gangs and so on.

But in "Infernal Affairs", it boldly set up the undercover gangsters in the police, and also eliminated the undercover police arranged in the gangsters.

The setting of two heroes is not uncommon in police and gangster films, but such a special setting of two heroes makes people feel fresh and surprising from the bottom of their hearts.

What a feeling to send undercover agents to each other!
If you asked mainland screenwriters or actors to read the script, your first reaction might be, is it a bit too outrageous?

Are you kidding me?
How powerful are gangs, associations, and criminal organizations?
Maybe it’s still possible if you put it in Columbia or Laomei, but is it possible on Hong Kong Island?

But for these old Hong Kong people who have come from the special era of Hong Kong Island, they don't find it strange at all.

Because what's even more outrageous is that this actually happened in reality.

When Hong Kong Island society is rampant, is it possible to send undercover agents inside the police force?

Really possible!

Everyone understands different things because of their different roles.

But they all suddenly have extremely strong confidence that this movie may really become the revival of Hong Kong Island's gangster movies!
Because the setting is too bold, and it can be said that even in the history of Hong Kong films, this is the first time.

Why can the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies be called: everything goes too far and is extremely crazy, it is because Hong Kong Island movies dare to think and dare to shoot!
