Chapter 687 "Dark War" Hong Kong Island Premiere (Fifth update, please subscribe)

If "Infernal Affairs" was released, many people regarded it as a "demonstration film", then after "Infernal Affairs" reached the pinnacle of Hong Kong films, it experienced the failure of many imitators After returning, "Dark War" can be said to have truly become a "salvation work" for the revival of Hong Kong films!
Everyone knows that "Dark War" cannot fail!
But the film directors on Hong Kong Island are full of expectations and blessings for "Infernal Affairs", and hope that this film will be a success, because at that time, everyone was not sure whether the Hong Kong Island gangster film was really a Hong Kong film. the way.

Therefore, someone needs to take a trip, and "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the best choice.

But "Dark War" is different.

Because "Infernal Affairs" Li Yi has already proved that a well-made police and gangster film can still become a classic and earn a lot of box office. To put it simply and clearly, that is, you are given a chance, and you are useless!

It's not that the subject matter is bad, but the people are bad!
So their thoughts about "Dark War" are undoubtedly complicated.

After all, if "Dark War" succeeds again, not to mention reaching the level of "Infernal Affairs", as long as the box office reputation is not bad, then those people who clamored for all kinds of excuses before will be severely slapped in the face!
April [-]th.

This is not a special day, but for the fans of old Hong Kong movies, and for Li Yi's fans, this day seems to be an early holiday.

Tonight is "Dark War," the highly anticipated second installment of Li Yi's Hong Kong island cop drama.

Because the original cast of "Infernal Affairs" is used, many people regard "Dark War" as a sequel to "Infernal Affairs".

This movie carries the expectations and hopes of many people.

At least movie fans hope that this movie will be a success, and they may not dare to expect it to reach the level of "Infernal Affairs". After all, the reason why classics are classics is because they cannot be copied.

Not to mention the same type of movie.

But as long as the performance is not bad, it is enough.

This time, "Dark War" got a lineup, which can be said to far exceed the original "Infernal Affairs" lineup.

According to the film schedule data obtained by Mu Nanxing and Fang Dongbai, "Dark War", which has no rivals in the same period, after the viewing session ended, the film schedule jumped from their estimated [-]% to [-]%. Seventy-five percent, and this is not the limit, as long as the box office performance on the first day is good, then the follow-up may even exceed [-]%.

Because May is really not a particularly popular schedule.

The small holiday was originally considered a small period, but other movies have avoided Li Yi, the Great Demon King. As a result, in this period, many audiences have no movies to watch at all.

The premiere of "Dark War" was chosen to be held on Hong Kong Island this time.

This is a choice after much consideration.

At the same time, it is actually expressing a kind of expectation that "Dark War" can become a new starting point for the revival of Hong Kong films.

In Times Studios, Times Square, Hong Kong Island, a long red carpet is laid for tens of meters.

In fact, for Hong Kong Island, it has been a long time since the national premiere of a film with such great influence was held here.

Usually, the premieres of this kind of cast and influential movies are mostly held in Beijing, or in cities like Zhonghai.

In fact, to some extent, it just shows the current situation of the decline of Hong Kong films!
Therefore, when we rushed to Times Square tonight, the Hong Kong Island Police Force also sent a large number of uniformed police officers here to maintain order.

There is no way, "Dark War" is too good, and the stars present tonight are definitely no less than the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Because not only the famous stars on Hong Kong Island, but also filmmakers will be present, and many celebrities from the Mainland will also come to support Li Yi's new film.

Therefore, many citizens of Hong Kong Island gathered in Times Square early, even if they did not have a ticket and could not enter, but just being able to see so many big-name celebrities attending with their own eyes was enough for them to make a trip.

When Liu Bo came to Times Square, he saw countless movie fans holding up the support lights, and there was a sea of ​​people.

There were screams one after another, and there was a sense of loss for a while.

Liu Bo has been dealing with movies all his life. He has been a senior film critic since the golden age of movies on Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, he is also one of the initiators of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards. Liu Bo, who is now nearly seventy years old, still loves Hong Kong movies.

For the status quo of Hong Kong Island movies, Liu Bo can be said to be heartbroken.

The heritage left over from the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies still exists. "Infernal Affairs" turned out, and Liu Bo cried with joy.

However, the hope had just been realized, and in the end, it was screwed up by those Hong Kong Island filmmakers who were eager for quick success.

This made Liu Bo also suspicious. Is there really hope for a revival of Hong Kong films?

Fortunately, there is Li Yi!

Unlike others, Liu Bo has full confidence in Li Yi.

How can Li Yi, who can make a movie like "Infernal Affairs", be like other people who are eager for quick success?

If it's just to make money, wouldn't it be easier to just make a sequel?
Why open a new movie?
Therefore, he is full of expectations for "Dark War".

Naturally, Liu Bo would not go to the red carpet, he quickly entered the scene of the premiere.

In the general movie fan audience area, Liu Bo took a look and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Because, among the fans, the ratio of men to women is almost the same.

This is a very interesting thing.

Simply put, if female audiences were allowed to choose what movies to watch, then police movies would definitely not be their first choice!
Unless they are fans of a certain star, otherwise, most of the time, female audiences will naturally not like the kind of movies that fight and kill.

However, "Dark War" actually invited so many female movie fans to the premiere scene, which is obviously intentional.

Li Yi has great ambitions!

He actually wants to expand the existing movie-watching group for police and gangster movies.

Soon, the premiere began.

There is actually no fixed process for the premiere ceremony, and the premiere ceremony of Li Yi's films is usually more concise.

This time is no exception, just went through some routine procedures.

Then the movie officially starts showing.

The lights in the theater go out and the big screen lights up!

"Director Li Yi's work" appeared on the big screen.

The audience at the premiere applauded involuntarily.

Many movie fans couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when they saw this iconic subtitle!
If there is any director who is the most iconic in Chinese-language movies, it will almost always be Li Yi, or Director Dog, right?

The movie starts to appear.

On the dimly lit stairs, a figure walked up the stairs.

The main color is light blue!
At the corner of the stairs in the picture, the front finally appeared.

Everyone recognized it, this is Chen Weijie!
He was wearing a suit, carrying a satchel, wearing sunglasses, holding on to the escalator, walking all the way up!

Soon he came to the roof of the building.

Stand on the edge of the roof and look down from above!
PS: Xiao Hei does not engage in anti-theft, so what, if you have the conditions, can you come to the starting point to support the genuine version?
