Chapter 426 The conception of the top detective team

The box office curve of "Infernal Affairs" is not too outstanding.

This is essentially a literary film, except for the stars, it is not very commercial.

But word of mouth exploded.

Douban scored 9.5 points, directly reaching the level of a classic in film history, and becoming the highest-rated police film in China.

Countless viewers expressed their love on Weibo, Douban, Zhihu and even Moments:
[Su Zhe’s acting skills explode! It’s no exaggeration at all, he will definitely win the Golden Dragon Award! 】

[With tears in his eyes, Su Zhe fired the knife again. 】

[My Chen Yongren, how could he die? Su Zhe was too cruel. 】

[The acting skills of all the actors in this movie are at their peak, but Su Zhe’s acting skills make everyone become supporting actors and foils. 】

Compared with the general movie fans, professional film critics may like it more. They go to the cinema to watch it over and over again and find various details to analyze:

"Is there any mistake? He rehearsed and rehearsed over and over again while filming "Tang Detective 2" in New York, revised the script many times, and it's not finished yet. Did he film "Infernal Affairs" over and over again?"

But soon, he was "slapped in the face".

So Su Zhe didn't want to delete it, but wanted to make a better image of the other detectives instead of a bunch of monsters and monsters.

But judging from the "Tang Detective" series, this is to introduce the setting of the world's detective rankings, expand the world view, and form a big IP.

In the future, even if the combination of Tang Ren and Qin Feng stops filming and the story is exhausted, other detective stories can still be filmed.

The results are very good and the reputation is very high. It can be seen that the idea of ​​​​expanding IP is very successful.

No way, it’s too much money!
After filming the exterior scenes, Su Zhe and the crew returned to China, and most of the content will be shot in China.

When interviewing Wei Zhenhui, he also said that Su Zhe has always followed the same path when it comes to acting. He sings in "The Fight" and acts in the back, and never rehearses.

For example, in the TV series "Detective Chinatown", Qin Feng did not appear, and Tang Ren only played a supporting role, telling the story of his "apprentice" Lin Mo solving crimes.

Thanks to him for writing such an excellent story and using his wonderful acting skills to portray the heart-wrenching undercover agent Chen Yongren. 】

He found this detail that gave the audience goosebumps.

When the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" was fermenting, Su Zhe had already returned from New York.

After Su Zhe thought for a moment, he immediately thought of a way.

……

The richly detailed film and television dramas undoubtedly show that the creators have put in a lot of effort.

He really didn't understand why he was so serious about filming a commercial film? Filming a film history classic in one go?
It's very simple. "Infernal Affairs" is a classic and does not need to be modified; while "Tang Detective 2" requires constant revision and even brainstorming with other people.

Although the story of "Tang Detective 2" basically takes place in New York, as we all know, movies are magic of light and shadow, and they are not necessarily shot in New York.

As for experiencing life and being fully prepared?
"Infernal Affairs" took more than 20 days to shoot. How could you have time to experience life?
Xiguajiang was dumbfounded and complained in the big up group:

[Su Zhe is saying that reality is a huge endless hell, where all living beings endure the pain of reincarnation. 】

Others laughed:
"Xiguajiang, we mortals shouldn't guess the genius's heart!"

If it were any other movie, this time might be misleading.

It can be seen from the details that Su Zhe must have spent a lot of energy.

But in "Infernal Affairs", people instantly feel the reincarnation of time.

Watermelon Sauce sighed:

The most amazing thing among them was found by Watermelon Jam:
【电影开头，陈永仁和刘建明在唱片店里相遇，开收据的时间是2002年11月28日；片尾，陈永仁墓碑上的时间是2002年11月27日。】

The reason why I always praise Su Zhe is very simple. Su Zhe's works are worthy.

"What we think needs serious polishing, others only need a flash of inspiration."

Who doesn’t like an artist who takes their audience seriously?

[Why do we always like to look for details in movies and Easter eggs in games?

But during the filming, as reported, he and other screenwriters have been perfecting the script of "Tang Detective 2".

What troubled him the most was this part of the world's top detective team.

This is the process of spiritual connection between us and the creator. Through details, we can get closer to the creator's heart little by little.

[The daughter of Chen Yongren’s ex-girlfriend May is his, so he said the age was false. May may have broken up because she didn't want her daughter to live a life of fear, but in fact she has always loved Chen Yongren. 】

There are also pictures, shots, etc., which have been analyzed over and over again.

Including some foreign actors, you can also find them in China, especially black actors, there is no shortage of them.

When reporters interviewed director Han Jiyao, he said that Su Zhe wrote the story of "Infernal Affairs" in only a few hours, and those details were all mentioned casually during the filming process.

Xiguajiang has always stated that he is not a fan of anyone, let alone Sugar Cane.

Judging from "Tang Detective 2", these people appear just for fun and can be deleted without affecting the main plot. They can be deleted and replaced with other baggage.

The advantage he has over the original film is that the detectives in the original film can only be original. It is simply an impossible task to portray a group of excellent detectives in a hurry.

[What Sha Qiang said before he died showed that he knew Chen Yongren was an undercover agent. He's not stupid at all. 】

Su Zhe's first thought was, can this part be deleted?

You know, three Tang detectives and one TV series only created two detectives, Qin Feng and Lin Mo.

Most of the other detectives are just backgrounds that are close to supporting roles. You can't expect them to have top-notch IQs and be able to compete with the protagonist.

But Su Zhe is different. He can "learn" from the classic detectives in his previous life!
Take the doctrine directly, Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Marple, Conan, Mitarashi, etc.

After Su Zhe wrote this series of names, he couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"This is what we call the world's top detective team! Aren't these people together more awesome than the superheroes?"

But then he thought about it and felt a little guilty:
"Compared with them, why does Qin Feng rank so high?"

Even more frightening is:
"Q, the big villain behind the scenes, is ranked number one. How difficult is it to crush these detectives? Moriartea and the winery can't even do it! You have to add Hydra."

Su Zhe scratched his head. He always felt that he designed the detective team too well and lost his balance.

If this group of people really solves the case together, how capable is the murderer in "Tang Detective 2" that he can commit serial murders?
It's as ridiculous as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash gathering to fight Kingpin (the gang boss).

He doesn't deserve it!
But think about it, if he continues to expand his IP, he might as well film the stories of these detectives——

"Detective Sherlock" ("Sherlock"), "Murder on the Orient Express", "Detective Conan" complete works...

These have all become spin-offs of "Tang Detective". How powerful will this series and this IP be?
These detectives will also become the most luxurious detective team in the world!

Su Zhe was extremely excited because of this idea. After thinking about it, he couldn't give it up no matter what. He thought for a long time and could only think of one way:
Although the other detectives attended the party, they had other cases to attend to.

So in the end, Qin Feng and Tang Ren were the main force in solving the Five Elements Murder Case.

The other detectives just showed their faces and pretended to be cool, but were not deeply involved in the case.

Although this kind of plot makes Qin Feng not unique enough, it makes the detective ranking more valuable.

Otherwise, among the original group of fools, Qin Feng ranked second. It always feels like he got it by bullying the kindergarten and the second fools.

From this point of view, Director Chen's pretentiousness is far inferior to that of Gu Long. How can he use a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates to set off the protagonist?

Gu Long has always described a person as being very awesome, and then another person will kill him instantly to set off the latter's awesomeness.

In the end, this man was killed by Xiao Li's flying knife, and he immediately gained the reputation of "Xiao Li's flying knife always kills in vain".

"Being second behind Sherlock Holmes, Conan and others is so awesome!"

After thinking clearly, Su Zhe quickly revised the script with the help of professional screenwriters and comedians, and completed filming this part.

"I announce that "Detective Chinatown 2" is officially finished! Some small gifts for everyone."

Last time he visited the cast of three martial arts dramas and gave them a lot of luxury gifts.

Now that he is richer and more famous, and the "Tang Detective" series is a powerful money-maker, he is too embarrassed to live alone.

In fact, Hollywood actors are usually aggressive in negotiating sequels to popular films, demanding more pay.

For example, in the tenth season of "Friends", each of the six leading actors received US$6 million per episode, which is a figure that they cannot get when filming other TV series.

But in China, if actors dare to ask for too much, they seem to be suspected of being ungrateful - I make you famous, but you still increase the price when I make a sequel?
Everyone has their own reasons, but Su Zhe feels that if he is not considerate of other people's thoughts, he will be hated by others.

He is not short of money, nor does he have the shadow of Master Xing's childhood, so there is no need to be so stingy.

Therefore, the salary will not increase much, but other aspects can be more generous.

For example, Li Daoqiang was so unlucky that the nanny's car got into a car accident. Su Zhe simply gave him a new car as a final gift. It had both active and passive safety requirements. It was nothing compared to the salary, but it was a thoughtful gesture.

However, the two of them handled such a small matter in a low-key manner, and there was no need to spread it to the whole Internet and hype up the "brotherhood".

Generally speaking, those who hype this stuff usually have no friendship and are just plastic brothers and sisters.

However, the news that "Tang Detective 2" has been completed has still been on the hot search, attracting a lot of attention.

However, even a hit sequel cannot be as popular as the current movie.

"Infernal Affairs" took off as its reputation took off, and its box office followed an extremely stable curve.

Although this is essentially a literary and drama film, there is no comedy baggage, no hot scenes, and no sexy figures - regardless of gender.

This makes "Infernal Affairs" less attractive to mass movie fans, but after all, it is Su Zhe's work.

Su Zhe's appeal may be 5 million at the box office, but his appeal combined with his overwhelming reputation is far more than 5 million!
His fame has made the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" spread even wider. Even if you don't want to watch a literary film, you can't help but go to the cinema to watch it when you hear that Su Zhe has contributed explosive acting skills.

Slowly, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" exceeded 15 billion, becoming a new box office record for Hong Kong films in the mainland.

On Hong Kong Island, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" also exceeded 8000 million, setting a new box office record!
Although the former has more numbers, Su Zhe is actually more interested in the latter.

Because he has become the number one box office in the mainland, but the box office in Hong Kong Island is very dismal.

For example, "Tang Detective 1" only had a box office of a few million in Hong Kong Island, and it was simply cannon fodder at the same time.

It's not even as good as his performance in baseball country ("Secret").

It would be a beautiful thing if "Infernal Affairs" could top the box office in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, Su Zhe checked the Hong Kong box office list and found that the first place was Avengers, with more than 2 million.

Not much, but "Infernal Affairs" has almost no chance of surpassing it.

He even looked at the rankings for a long time and found that the top few were all Hollywood movies, and he couldn't even find the name of a Hong Kong movie.

Even if the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" explodes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even crack the top five.

Su Zhe was very disappointed when he saw this.

After all, he is at the top of the domestic box office, and the threshold is too high. In the Hong Kong film market, which has an upper limit of 2 million, it would be meaningless if he could not be number one.

80 million or 100 million, does it make any difference to him?

The share of the box office in other places was not high, so that little money couldn't move him at all.

"Hey, there's no hope of winning first place unless I make a Hollywood movie." Su Zhe sighed.

He didn't take it to heart, but he didn't know that public opinion in Hong Kong Island had exploded.

In recent years, Hong Kong films have declined, and the monster "Infernal Affairs" suddenly appeared. Although it cannot be compared with Hollywood movies, it is exciting enough.

The media did not report at length, and the major stars who participated in the show praised Su Zhe in front of the media:
"Su Sheng is so talented. When I saw the script, I knew it was a pure Hong Kong film!"

"I have never seen a filmmaker as talented as Su Sheng. You ask Mr. X? They are not from the same generation."

"Haha, I only know that Su Sheng makes a lot more money than them."

Although the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is not as good as some Hollywood movies, it is the number one Hong Kong film after all, surpassing many seniors, and it immediately sparked discussion.

Celebrities are so diverse that it is impossible to say any comparison.

But the debate on the Internet is more intense:

[Su Zhe is the most talented filmmaker in Chinese films! His talents and abilities surpass those of Master X! 】

【Nonsense! Didn’t Master X beat him up? He just picks up people's wits and steals many scenes from Master X! 】

[Haha, didn’t Mr. X study foreign films? 】

[Don’t talk about useless things, just look at the box office and net worth. 】

[Don’t you consider the times? Is the money now comparable to before? Can the market in the past be compared with the market now? 】

[I believe in the dispensation theory of other movies, but "Infernal Affairs" is still the most classic movie even in the peak era of Hong Kong films. Do you agree? 】

There was a lot of quarrel between the two sides.

After "The Fight", no one compares Su Zhe with his contemporaries' stars and idols;
After "Infernal Affairs", no one compares him with the Hong Kong stars who were at the peak of the previous generation;
Now, everyone only puts him together with the shining names in film history.

Although it is full of gunpowder, no matter what the point of view is, at least I think Su Zhe is also in this category——

He only made one Hong Kong film, but he became a legend in Hong Kong films.
