Chapter 428 Being followed

"Infernal Affairs" celebration banquet.

Celebrities from half of Hong Kong Island came, and the scene was very lively.

Media reporters gathered even more, and even some tabloids that had made random reports and offended Su Zhe were invited.

At their strong request, Su Zhe agreed to be interviewed——

Reporter: "After "Infernal Affairs" broke the record, many fans said that you had surpassed Mr. X and other predecessors. What do you think?"

Su Zhe brought up the theory of "each one shines" again and said it in Cantonese.

I have to say that this answer is very useful, and it highlights that it is neither humble nor arrogant.

The reporter failed to raise the issue and collected the carriage fare, so the next question became much simpler.

Asked about interesting things about the filming of "Infernal Affairs", asked Su Zhe how he wrote this story, asked about his acting skills, etc.

(Replacement in the second part, supporting role in the third part)
What else is Su Zhe filming?
In the previous life, the first part of "Infernal Affairs" was a very complete story, and there was no thought of making a sequel.

Su Zhe smiled, but he didn't say that the story he adapted was "Infernal Affairs".

Arouse public attention step by step. Don't make big moves at the beginning to attract the enemy's vigilance and blockade.

But everyone's first reaction was, of course, that he was talking about "Infernal Affairs", and they would look for Chen Yongren's prototype, which triggered a craze.

This is the method he learned from Jiang Yang and Zhang Chao——

This series has finally come to an end.

But no matter whether "Tang Detective" is good or not, it has the potential to make a sequel after all, so it is normal to continue filming.

So three of the four major characters (Chen, Liu, Huang, and Han) died, and even all of them died in the mainland version.

Somewhat similar to "Infernal Affairs", "The Overheard" has a very complete story. The three main protagonists are almost dead, and there is no thought of a sequel.

Su Zhe was very cooperative and answered every question.

Some reporters asked him why he has been shooting realistic themes recently. Is he trying to win awards?

Seeing this, Mr. Niu laughed and said:
"Brother Su, your propaganda methods are great! Claiming that "Infernal Affairs" is adapted from a true story can attract attention."

No matter where you are, who doesn’t like a pair of legs that can take everyone flying?
Su Zhe laughed and fooled him.

Su Zhe didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. He showed a mysterious smile and ended the interview.

But he is a star, and he doesn't need to resort to such decisive measures as committing suicide or dumping his body on the subway to attract national attention.

At that point, with a little guidance from him, everyone's attention will shift to "The Silent Truth."

Detective dramas are the most suitable for sequels. As long as the detective is alive, wouldn't it be enough to film a case?
Didn't you watch the Grim Reaper, a primary school student who has been repeating a grade for so many years, not to mention it's over, and can't even bear to go to higher school?
But "Infernal Affairs" is different, it is a complete story.

Both of these methods are a bit strange. The former is like following a dog's tail, while the latter is like selling dog meat by selling sheep's head.

The stars also continued to compliment him:

But "Eavesdropping" changed its thinking. It didn't change the actors or make a prequel, but just changed it to a new story, with eavesdropping as the core.

If it turns out to be a hit, let’s continue making a sequel.

But "Infernal Affairs" is a completely original script. There is no prototype and no one can find it.

"Su Sheng, the best actor in Hong Kong this year is the civil war between you and King Wei Tian."

This does not leave any foreshadowing for the sequel at all, at most it leaves some aftertaste and blank space (such as Huang Han's conflict).

It's equivalent to "Overheard". Parts 1, 2, and 3 have nothing to do with each other. It's just that the three leading actors have not been replaced.

After throwing the bait, Su Zhe concentrated on attending the banquet and dealing with the celebrities.

"Anyway, "Infernal Affairs" will definitely be a big success."

"Of course it's an honor to be recognized by the industry, but this is not what I pursue. The reason why I shoot realistic themes is simple. I saw some bad things, felt it, and wrote the script in one go."

"Infernal Affairs", "The Silent Truth" and "Young You" are all realistic themes. In the first two works, Su Zhe's acting skills were highly praised. No wonder everyone has this idea.

But after it was released, it received a great reputation and the box office was very high, so I couldn't give it up.

The reporter was stunned and suddenly caught the big news:
"You mean, these dramas are based on true stories?"

"Infernal Affairs" does have a sequel, but the quality is average and there aren't many scenes with Chen Yongren.

Su Zhe understood that everyone wanted him to start working again and make eight out of ten "Infernal Affairs" movies.

No matter how reporters pressed him, he stopped answering.

There is no need to write a third part, so we can only make a sequel to Liu Jianming, describe his ending, and add some stories about Chen Yongren's life.

Su Zhe smiled:

It just so happens that the original novel also has more stories, so the second part simply talks about the prequel, supplementing and perfecting the previous stories of the four major characters.

But making money is not shabby.

The whole world knows that a hit sequel carries the least risk. Didn't even Su Zhe continue filming the "Tang Detective" series?

"It's a rescue effort."

Even the important supporting characters Big B and Silly Qiang died.

Su Zhe had already decided that he would not continue filming and add stain to this classic.

He doesn’t lack this little money, so why bother using the sequel to cheat him out of money?
Su Zhe thought so, but didn't say it out loud, as if he was being arrogant.

But the celebrities present were all fine people. They could see what Su Zhe was thinking and couldn't help but sigh:
"Just shoot two sequels and earn at least hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion, right? You are really arrogant. You have so much money lying on the roadside, but you just don't bend down to pick it up."

"No wonder Su Sheng can earn tens of billions. This is the arrogance of a talented man."

"As an artist, when can you become as successful as Su Sheng? It's really enviable."

Others are thinking:

"Since Su Sheng doesn't want to make this money, how about we make a follow-up movie?"

"The likes of "The Departed", "The Departed", "The Departed", etc., please invite a few more original cast members."

If they did this, Su Zhe really had no choice.

He can't just monopolize all the titles of "Infernal Affairs" after filming "Infernal Affairs" and prevent others from taking them, right?

He had no choice but to invite the original actors to star. Everyone in "Infernal Affairs" except him was on Hong Kong Island. They could arrange the plot at will without informing him.

As long as Su Zhe doesn't blatantly claim to be a sequel to "Infernal Affairs" in the promotion, Su Zhe has no reason to object.

He could only sigh:

"Bad movies that follow the trend are a cancer in Hong Kong movies."

When many people recall Hong Kong movies, they say that following the trend of bad movies led to the decline of Hong Kong movies. The typical representative is that after Uncle Nine became popular, a large number of shoddy zombie movies emerged that followed the trend of Uncle Nine.

In fact, this is a bit one-sided.

In fact, there are also bad movies in Hollywood that follow the trend.

For example, the famous "Sharknado" was so bad that it even produced sequels one after another!

There are also many parodies. To put it bluntly, they are following popular works, but they are parodied in a ridiculing way.

For example, "Scary" has already produced 5 films.

Why didn't you kill Hollywood?

Su Zhe listened absently to everyone's compliments, his thoughts wandering wildly. As a leader of Chinese films, he couldn't help but think: The decline of Hong Kong films is mainly related to the market. He failed to embrace mainland films in time and catch the train of the Chinese film market. , and continued to lose the Asian market as its foundation, and was defeated by Hollywood.

As for problems such as lack of ambition and tendency to follow trends, they are all trivial matters, but they are infinitely magnified in a small market.

Su Zhe thought to himself and realized that his success was actually based on domestic economic development.

The development of the film industry has never only depended on the film industry, but also on economic and social development.

Just like a house, the price does not depend on the quality, but also depends on economic development.

Therefore, the entertainment industry and the real estate industry are actually benefiting from economic development.

The real foundation is manufacturing.

However, celebrities and real estate developers make money so quickly and so easily.

Su Zhe criticized himself hard in his heart, but after thinking that as the richest celebrity, he only had tens of billions, which was nothing compared to those real estate giants, he forgave himself.

Let’s go to the real estate giants!

The celebrities at the wine table had no idea that Su Zhe's thoughts were far away and they were still complimenting him.

Su Zhe was flattered all night. Before leaving, Mr. Niu was still unwilling to accept it and kept asking him if he had any other projects to work with.

Su Zhe thought about it and found that there were actually many Hong Kong films that could be copied, such as "Kung Fu", "A Better Tomorrow", "A Chinese Ghost Story", Cheng and Li's Kung Fu films, etc.

But except for gang and police movies such as "Infernal Affairs" and "A Better Tomorrow", other movies can be shot in the mainland.

There is absolutely no need to give money to Mr. Niu.

So Su Zhe excused himself:

"Some gangster and cop-type movies have difficulty getting through censorship in the mainland, so it's more convenient to come to Hong Kong Island. But my recent schedule is full, and I haven't had similar inspiration yet. I will definitely do it next time!"

He rejected Mr. Niu’s kindness.

By the way, Mr. Niu in the hotel where he stayed was kind enough to show his "kindness" and politely ask him to leave.

Talking about "clean and hygienic" always reminded him of Yongzi and only made him shudder.

When he returned to the capital the next day, as he expected, both places began to look for the real case of Chen Yongren.

And "The Silent Truth" also played to the final ending.

The TV series finally revealed the death methods of Hou Guiping and Jiang Yang——

Hou Guiping rejected Ding Chunmei, who seduced him, but was forcibly held down by gangsters and made Ding Chunmei and him... leave evidence in her body to threaten him to stop the investigation.

But the gangster accidentally covered Hou Guiping to death, so he simply teamed up with the gangster to create the illusion that he escaped after being raped and fell into the water and died.

This scene made the audience extremely desperate.

It also makes some people curious:
[After Hou Guiping died, Ding Chunmei still left evidence in her body... Is it really possible? Can a man still be alive after he dies? 】

Although this question is strange, it is really curious.

There are doctors’ popular science:
[Men can also rise after death, which occurs when a person dies vertically or face down, also known as "angel's desire". 】

[So the case of Hou Guiping in the play is completely possible. 】

When the audience saw this popular science piece, they felt sad for Hou Guiping and also very speechless:
[Thank you, but I don’t want to know. 】

[Knowledge entered my brain in a despicable way. 】

[Su Zhe, you know so much! 】

[It’s hard to imagine that a person who studies the origins of death can write those beautiful songs. 】

Su Zhe:......

I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

For the first time, he didn't want to sign the script, but wanted to tell everyone to find the guy named Zijin Chen!
And Jiang Yang's death process is even more regrettable.

After he learned that he was terminally ill and had only a few months to live, he decided to use his life to make a final counterattack.

A group of righteous friends gathered at Jiang Yang's home and discussed seriously how Jiang Yang committed suicide, how he pretended to be a suicide, and how he used his body to stir up public opinion.

They used their professional criminal investigation knowledge to help the man who decided to die realize his last wish.

This scene is extremely absurd, like a black comedy.

But underneath the absurdity is a bloody reality.

The audience was stunned, and their hearts were hit hard by the tragedy under the huge absurdity:

[I can’t laugh or cry. I feel an inexplicable emptiness now. 】

[Perhaps in their eyes, death has long been regarded as a destination and a sweet dream. That's why we can talk about it so calmly. 】

After the plan was formulated, Jiang Yang was left alone to carry out the plan to let him die.

Maybe this is his normal state all the way——

Facing darkness and death alone, chewing the pain and hesitation in my heart alone.

But always towards the light.

Jiang Yang then waited for Zhang Chao to get on the plane, and after obtaining the alibi, he resolutely activated the automatic device and threw the remote control aside to ensure that he would not regret it.

The scene where he threw the remote control made the audience burst into tears, and the barrage scrolled crazily:

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Jiang Yang is so miserable. He will spend his last life pursuing justice. 】

【This is my last ripple! 】

[Husband, don’t die! 】

And the next scene is even more shocking.

In the original film "The Silent Truth", Jiang Yang's final death scene was described indirectly -

The rope tightened and finally stopped.

The picture is dark.

Maybe it was to leave blank space, but it was more likely because he couldn't pass the trial. In short, the final scene of Jiang Yang's death was not shown.

But Su Zhe prefers the treatment in the movie "Scorching Sun". When the protagonist Xin Xiaofeng (played by Deng Chao) was injected to death, the camera did not hesitate to give him a full close-up of his face, which was very shocking.

There is also Louis Koo in "Drug War", who was also killed by injection, and the whole process was also in close-up.

These are classic death penalty scenes. Although Jiang Yang's death was not a death penalty, it was a little bit self-inflicted with devices, which was exactly the same as a death penalty.

This kind of scene is difficult for the audience to see in reality, and it is a great emotional stimulation.

In particular, lethal injection is the same as hanging with a device. Death is not instantaneous, but there is a period of death, and the performance space is very rich.

So in order to perform this scene well, Su Zhe endured nausea, watched a lot of video materials, and looked up some medical knowledge.

Since it is a death scene, the real reaction to death must be acted out. It can't be like a low-quality TV series where you hang yourself, shake your whole body, stick out your tongue, and that's it, right?

That would be a comedy!
What's even more difficult is that the character Jiang Yang can't just play the instinctive reaction to death.

He is committing suicide, which adds another layer of reaction;
Since S is the pursuit of justice, there is another layer of reaction.

Even Su Zhe was stumped and tried many times just for the final effect.

And this scene really stunned the audience and shocked the industry!
