tearjerker director

Chapter 672 To untie the bell, you must also tie the bell and catch the ducks on the shelves

Successive follow-up works on the street brought the topic of revival of Hong Kong films to the forefront again.

Many media, netizens, and film critics joined the discussion one after another.

"Li Yi said that the key to the revival of Hong Kong films lies in Hong Kong police and gangster films, but others have also said that the times have changed, and we have to innovate. As a result, one by one, seeing the popularity of "Infernal Affairs", they followed suit and did not take it seriously. Really writing scripts and making movies, but purely wanting to take advantage of the trend brought about by "Infernal Affairs", it just sucks money, and it will be a ghost if it can be revived!"

"With this kind of perfunctory attitude, don't call it a revival of Hong Kong movies, go eat shit!"

"Li Yi finally gave everyone hope to see the revival of Hong Kong movies, but in the end, he was beaten away by a few hammers like you crooked melons!"

"Hong Kong movies are dead, not Li Yi's "Infernal Affairs" can save them!"

"With such an attitude, ten "Infernal Affairs" are useless!"

For a while, the fans were all mourning for their misfortune and angry for not fighting!The deep responsibility of love!
Many people still like Hong Kong movies, and they often see a certain movie being released, and then it is compared with the old Hong Kong movies.

And "Infernal Affairs" was born, playing the banner of the revival of Hong Kong films, and successfully stood at the top of Hong Kong films in terms of word of mouth. In terms of box office, it not only broke the box office of Hong Kong films in the Mainland, but also broke the Hong Kong Island area. The highest-grossing list monopolized by Hollywood.

Previously, Chen Manshan's "Edge Walker" was said to be a Hong Kong movie with the theme of undercover, but in fact, there were many new things. Although "Edge Walker" did not have a top-notch box office, it was still remarkable.

It's a pretty good start.

However, everyone was too happy too early, one after another without sincerity imitating the trend, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.

Is it because of lack of funds?

No!

Is it because of a lack of directors?

No!

Is it because of a lack of actors with great acting skills?

The same is not true, but the result?

As always, the propaganda was extremely loud, but the result was a mess!
Some Hong Kong Island media even directly and exaggeratedly scolded these directors as unworthy of being directors and as sinners in the Hong Kong Island film industry.

But these directors came out one by one to say that the problem was not with them at all.

Of course they don't admit that their films have no sincerity, no heart and so on.

Instead, he said that "Infernal Affairs" can't represent anything at all. Hong Kong Island once declined in the 90s, and there were some good movies, but they still couldn't save Hong Kong movies.

It is even more about Li Yi himself not wanting to make a sequel to "Infernal Affairs"!
At this time, another thing happened.

Famous Hong Kong Island director, Wang Feng!
When Wang Feng was in the decline of Hong Kong films, he once indeed carried the banner of Hong Kong police and criminal films, and made many relatively good police and criminal films in the 90s.

There are still many fans of Wang Feng's dark style police and gangster films.

Many people are looking forward to Wang Feng's new film.

Although his new film is also an undercover gangster film on Hong Kong Island, its style is still different from "Infernal Affairs".

His new film is titled Apostasy!
It tells the story of undercover betrayal.

After being undercover for many years, as his status in the rivers and lakes became higher and higher, he finally betrayed, not only killed his upline police officer, became the police's ex-girlfriend, but also became a club boss.

The film was released on Hong Kong Island and received a very good response, earning more than [-] million box office.

It's a pity that the story of "Apostasy" is too dark and too unfair.

The main content of the movie focuses on the undercover actor because of various pressures, just like Chen Yongren, he does not want to continue to be an undercover agent, but he is a sharp knife to break into the society. Case, promotion and salary increase.

But three years later and three years later, he finally betrayed.

It is naturally impossible to obtain a public release license for a film like this in the Mainland. For this reason, he had to delete and modify a large number of plots in order to be released.

The end result can be imagined.

And because of this, many movie fans once again pointed their fingers at the big scissors.

When Wang Feng himself was interviewed by the media, he said that what restricts the revival of Hong Kong films is not the lack of good films on Hong Kong Island, but the rules and regulations in the Mainland!
In fact, this topic can be said to be commonplace.

Some sand sculpture fans also echoed, all kinds of cynicism and scissors.

In fact, for a dark police film like "Betrayal", and a film in which evil triumphs over justice, it is quite normal to be embarrassed by the scissors.

However, as long as many movies have been operated on by the scissors, they will lose at the box office in the end. There is no need to find a reason, just throw the scissors away.

Originally, there was nothing to say.

It is not a day or two for the big scissors to be scolded.

Those literary and artistic film directors often scolded the scissors, questioned Huaguo's film review, and so on.

But this time is different, because of the topic of revival of Hong Kong films, because "Infernal Affairs" created a miracle for Hong Kong films, because many previous police and gangster films failed, and finally a better "Betrayal" appeared, but because of the operation of the big scissors, However, the movie was a blockbuster on Hong Kong Island, but hit the streets in the Mainland.

For a while, some media and movie fans on Hong Kong Island also began to report.

It is very common for big scissors to take the blame, but this time it is a little different.

After all, the issues involved are more sensitive.

Especially based on the hot topic of revival of Hong Kong films, Hong Kong Island filmmakers like Huang Disheng, whose buttocks are crooked, have become active one by one.

And this knot is really hard to solve.

Although some sane movie fans said that under the same rules and environment, Chinese-language movies can thrive, and it is too much for Hong Kong movies to blame the scissors for their failure to revive.

At the same time, Li Yi and some Hong Kong directors who have been successful after going north are also mentioned. Under the same environment, why can they succeed?

For a while, this topic was full of excitement.

At this time, Li Yi, who had just returned from a trip abroad with Mu Qing, received a call from Zhao Guangming as soon as he landed!
"Director Li, are you back?" Zhao Guangming asked with a smile.

"Well, isn't it the New Year's Eve, come back for the New Year!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Have you read the recent news?" Zhao Guangming asked.

"Look, hey, it's a cliché. This kind of thing happens a few times a year. It's very common for movies not to hit the blockbusters and to throw the pot away, isn't it?" Li Yi didn't care.

"You, I understand. You are pretending to be confused. Don't tell me you don't understand. This time is different from the past?" Zhao Guangming said angrily.

"Okay, but it's useless for you to look for me for this kind of thing. What can I do? Talk for the scissors? I'm afraid people will think that I don't hurt my back when I talk standing up!" Li Yi replied with a smile.
