tearjerker director

Chapter 675 Beyond "Infernal Affairs"?
Time passed quickly, and the most important annual festival in Huaguo, the Spring Festival, came as scheduled.

The Spring Festival movie circle is full of gunpowder.

This year's Spring Festival, there are two Hong Kong Island gangster films released.

One of them was directed by Wu Zhen, a well-known Hong Kong director.

Wu Zhen is different from Wang Feng, who was the director of previous gangster films that followed suit. He was the first director to go north and cooperate with the mainland.

It can be regarded as one of the directors in Hong Kong Island with relatively high status and achievements.

In fact, Wu Zhen also filmed a lot of gangster films in his early years, but after going north to cooperate with the mainland, he seldom made gangster films.

The main reason is that a big-budget police and gangster film we worked with once did not do well at the box office, and the reputation was not good.

But the birth of "Infernal Affairs" made Wu Zhen also feel that there is a lot to be done for police and gangster films.

So he took out a script that was said to be dusty for a long time, which was said to be the movie "Dark Stealth" adapted from real events!
Including the top idols from both sides of the strait and three regions, popular young students, Xiaohua, and old actors as supporting roles.

It can be said that it is the most anticipated police film after "Infernal Affairs".

Although it is not a pure Hong Kong Island gangster film, the background of the story is Hong Kong Island.

This movie does have advantages that are different from other gangster movies on Hong Kong Island. First of all, the gimmick is big enough.

The promotional slogan is "Adaptation of the most legendary real undercover experience in Hong Kong Island Police"!
However, it was the director of "Dark Stealth" that made "Dark Stealth" famous and controversial. Wu Zhen didn't know whether he really had absolute confidence in "Dark Stealth" or a publicity strategy.

When he was interviewed by the media, he was asked: "Is "Dark Stealth" confident to surpass "Infernal Affairs"?"

His answer is very interesting: ""Infernal Affairs" is a rare classic, but after all the story is fictional, and "Dark Stealth" is different, "Dark Stealth" is adapted from a real story Yes! At the same time, the two films are also of different types. "Dark Stealth" has a lot of exciting gun battle scenes, fighting scenes, psychological games, etc. It can be said that "Infernal Affairs" has "Dark Stealth" and "Dark Stealth" Dark Stealth has more highlights than "Infernal Affairs", of course, whether it can surpass "Infernal Affairs" depends on the audience, but I am quite confident!"

As a result, from a publicity point of view, he did succeed.

After all, "Infernal Affairs" is known as the pinnacle of Hong Kong films.

And no matter in terms of box office or word-of-mouth success, "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be the best, and you can see all the mountains and small things at a glance!

And now Wu Zhen even said that the goal of "Dark Stealth" is to surpass "Infernal Affairs"!
Who made him not say it clearly, but it's almost the same.

For this reason, "Dark Stealth" did get a lot of topics before it was released.

Many diehard fans of "Infernal Affairs" even tore each other with black fans and Wu Zhen fans.

"Beyond "Infernal Affairs"? Hehe, how dare you say it! Before "Infernal Affairs" came out, I had never seen Wu Zhen dare to make a police film. Come out and come up with a so-called movie that has been prepared for many years, and then brazenly say that it will surpass "Infernal Affairs"! It is really embarrassing to attract attention!"

"What's wrong with "Infernal Affairs"? It's just an over-hyped and over-reputed work, and "Dark Stealth" is based on the real story of a legendary Hong Kong undercover agent. That's why it's not possible?"

"I have something to say, just because "Dark Stealth" has so many popular stars participating in it, let alone surpassing "Infernal Affairs", let's talk about it when it can pass the barrier of other movies during the Spring Festival!"

""Infernal Affairs" can be hailed as the pinnacle of Hong Kong films, not only because of the plot and depth of the drama and movie, but also because each of the actors in it showed amazing acting skills. You know the lineup, and it's clear that it's a film that's purely aimed at the box office!"

"The director Wu Zhen is really Shi Lezhi. This kind of publicity strategy is obviously a double-edged sword. If the quality of your film is slightly lower than that of "Infernal Affairs", you will definitely be sprayed to death! "

In any case, purely from the perspective of publicity and exposure, "Dark Stealth" has indeed succeeded.

But the effect is not certain.

As some movie fans said, this kind of publicity strategy is definitely a double-edged sword.

Because you lift yourself up too high!

If the movie fails to meet such high expectations, then the backlash it encounters is definitely enough for the movie to drink a pot.

Soon the Spring Festival movie battle started.

"Dark Stealth" has gained a lot of advantages in film scheduling by virtue of the early publicity effect. From this point of view, Wu Zhen's publicity strategy for "Infernal Affairs" is indeed very successful.

The box office of "Dark Stealth" is released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, with a daily revenue of 1.8 million!
Although such a result is only ranked second in the Spring Festival file, it is already considered very good.

However, soon Wu Zhen and others became unhappy.

"Dark Stealth" scored only 6.2 points on Dazhong Film Critic Online, you must know that this is only the first day of release.

As you can imagine, how crazy it was before, how embarrassing it is now.

Check out the movie reviews below.

"That's it? That's it? Even surpassed "Infernal Affairs"? The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the record is zero and five, and there is no one else!"

"I'm just asking if you're embarrassed or not? In fact, the plot is okay, but the acting skills of Xiao Xianrou in it are so embarrassing that it makes people speechless!"

"Actually, it's not that bad, the score is only 3 points away, and it has indeed surpassed "Infernal Affairs", the box office exceeded 6000 million on the first day!"

"What you said above is so true. It is said that the Hong Kong version is different from the mainland version. Have you thought of anything?"

"Tsk tsk, this is very interesting!"

"I don't quite understand, please explain!"

"Thank you, the Hong Kong version is different from the mainland version. This is to find a way out for myself in advance. Believe it or not, if the box office drops tomorrow, there will be a lot of voices pointing at the scissors? Pity me scissors, take the blame First!"

"666666, learned, learned!"

"Does your face hurt? How can you surpass "Infernal Affairs"? If nothing else, it's just acting. Except for those old supporting roles, who else can compare with "Infernal Affairs"?"

""Infernal Affairs" YYDS! What is said in "Dark Stealth" is based on the real legendary undercover incident, but why do I always feel that the protagonist in it almost writes "I am an undercover agent" on his face And the villains are all blind!"

"In the shootout scene, the undercover agent is actually a sharpshooter. In the action scene, the undercover agent is actually a fighter. In the psychological scene, there are so many scenes on the undercover's face that it is outrageous!"
