Chapter 697 Chilling and cold, isn't a dragon suit not a human being?

The success of "Dark War" was actually expected by many people.

After all, the probability of Li Yi's failure is much lower than the probability of success.

Although the shooting speed is fast, some movie fans are a little worried, but after all, the lineup of "Dark War" is the original cast of "Infernal Affairs".

But now the facts tell them that all their worries are unnecessary.

Not only that, because "Dark War" has a clearer style, from a commercial point of view, this movie has a wider audience than "Infernal Affairs".

The special bus romantic encounter also attracted many female audiences.

The box office potential of "Dark War" has increased a lot invisibly.

It can be said that the factors that restrict the box office of gangster films to some extent have also been ruled out.

After all, fighting and killing is never what girls love, but to some extent, "Dark War" is really about talking about love and fighting wits.

On the popular film review website, although the score of "Dark War" is not as high as "Infernal Affairs", the score has dropped after the large-scale release, but the score of 8.9 is still second only to "Infernal Affairs" on Hong Kong Island. The second place in the gangster film.

But although the score is lower than "Infernal Affairs", the topic popularity and box office are not weaker than "Infernal Affairs".

And Hong Kong Island movie fans and the media broke out collectively. There is no way, the success of "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be just an exception.

Those gangster movies on Hong Kong Island failed before, and many people clamored that gangster movies on Hong Kong Island are no longer suitable for this era, and "Infernal Affairs" is just a flash in the pan.

But now, how long?

Everyone in "Infernal Affairs" feels that it is difficult to copy the classic, so it is not universal, but the result?
"Dark War" strikes again, with the same original crew, but it tells a completely different story, and the story is not particularly novel.

The same two-hero structure, strong flavor of Hong Kong movies, full of feelings of old Hong Kong movies, what does this explain?
It's not that audiences don't like watching gangster films on Hong Kong Island anymore, but that many directors simply don't put in the effort to make them and tell a good story.

After "Dark War" received a box office of 2.3 million on the first day, word of mouth fermented the next day, and there were a lot of media reports on it.

The box office hit a new high, with a box office of 2.6 million.

However, what is interesting is that there is another new topic, which has been heated up by sand sculpture netizens.

Because when the movie was advertised, it said, "In this movie, even though there are gangs of policemen and gangsters who use knives and guns, in general, no one is killed. The bombs are always fake, and the hostages are also fake deaths. The "blood" flowing out always feels like edible ketchup, and some people were beaten, but the wound was on the nose, and after putting on plaster, it was just a clown to make fun of."

But this "no one died" was dug out by the serious audience.

In fact, generally speaking, the so-called no one died in the movie is mainly for the main characters.

Those secondary roles are usually not counted.

But if you really want to be serious, isn't the dragon set not a human?
"Isn't the trick a human being? At the beginning of the bank robbery, the corpse I saw was also fake?"

"Upstairs, the corpse is indeed a fake, who is using a real corpse to act?"

"Upstairs you are really a little clever ghost."

"It's easy to say, usually from the point of view of movies, if no one dies, it means that the main characters don't die. For example, Andy knew he was going to die, but the movie didn't say that he died, so maybe he didn't die either!"

"Hehe, am I not a human being?"

"Well, generally speaking, those two foreigners are indeed not considered "people"!"

"I'm shaking and cold, when will we be able to stand up after playing tricks?"

"Sorry, but the tricksters just can't stand up!"

All of a sudden, the style of painting became distorted, and sand sculpture netizens started a new round of debate on whether the extra characters in the movie are considered human beings.

The box office of "Dark War" also continued to advance, earning 10 billion box office in four days during the May Day holiday.

Of course, this is also because of the deterrent power of the Great Demon King Li Yi, which caused other movies in the same period to be withdrawn one after another.

Coupled with the huge sales of "Dark War", the film schedule is getting higher and higher every day.

At the highest point, it even exceeded 80% of the film schedule. If it weren't for the fact that May Day is not a schedule like the Spring Festival, otherwise, the daily box office would definitely be higher.

But even so, it is almost a matter of time before "Dark War" surpasses "Infernal Affairs" at the box office.

"Dark War" was well-received and well-received.

People like Wang Feng from before shut up.After all, they blamed the big scissors, because the big scissors cut their movie, which led to the poor box office.

what about now?

There is nothing particularly sensitive throughout "Dark War".

The big scissors pass the trial without cutting a single knife.

Isn't "Dark War" a blockbuster?
However, there was "Infernal Affairs" before and "Dark War" followed. Although "Dark War" has only been released for a few days, it is already a fact that it is a big hit.

You can say that one is an example, but what about the other one?

When Li Yi was interviewed by reporters, he was naturally asked about the revival of Hong Kong films again.

"Does the success of "Dark War" mark the arrival of the revival era of gangster films on Hong Kong Island?"

"Of course I hope so. Chinese-language films need to flourish. Hong Kong films are an important part of Chinese-language films. I certainly hope that Hong Kong Island films can regain their glory, even if only one genre survives.

But it's not enough for me alone!

In fact, this is really the best era of Hong Kong Island movies, and it is also the last era of revival. Once missed, it may really be difficult to see the future again. "

"Why do you say that?"

"Because, in this era, the sentimentality of Hong Kong movies has not been wiped out by those crudely produced bad movies. It can be said that old Hong Kong movies have pinned on the youth and childhood of many old movie fans.

In fact, on the Internet, many people sigh with emotion, why the old Hong Kong movies back then are quite good movies when viewed now.

And those directors and actors who were active in the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies have not yet fully retired, and they can continue to make movies and continue to act in movies.

There are still a large number of fans of Hong Kong movies in the mainstream group of moviegoers. Therefore, whether it is "Infernal Affairs" or "Dark War", they all have emotional bonuses. Therefore, as long as the movie is well shot, there is really no need to worry about the audience.

But if these old directors, old actors, and old movie fans are getting old, but Hong Kong films have not yet ushered in a rebirth, then the new generation of audiences, unlike the current audiences, are watching They grew up with old Hong Kong movies, and they don't have any special feelings for Hong Kong movies.

Therefore, I hope that even if Hong Kong films cannot be revived, at least those good impressions of Hong Kong films will not be wiped out, and at least the new generation of movie fans who have grown up will not be unfamiliar with Hong Kong films. It's really dead. "
