The king of all people

Chapter 319 "Infernal Affairs" is here!
The scorching summer vacation is often the most prosperous and active season of the year in the entertainment industry.

Since the 90s, many film producers have locked the film release within this schedule. This situation is not only useful in the domestic film industry, but also in the international film industry.Over the past few years, the rudimentary form of the smoky summer film war has gradually taken shape, and today in 2002, it has become the best time of the year for filmmakers to recklessly make money.

On August [-]st, the final promotional video of the movie "Infernal Affairs" quietly landed on major TV stations and video sites in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan...

Bizarre, reinforced concrete.

This is a 'cold' city that doesn't seem to feel the warmth and human touch.

Dozens of layers of desublimated solid glass are soaring to the sky, and if you don't pay attention, they will fall to the roof of the abyss.

Liu Jianming, played by Li Xian, appeared in the camera in a solemn black suit, frowning.If you get closer, it's not difficult to find that his already sharp-edged face looks more refined and charming because of his vigorously gritting his teeth, and the protruding green blood vessels on his chin look extremely abrupt.

His eyes were full of tension and anxiety at the critical moment, and he kept scanning the empty exposed rooftop.However, with a strong psychological quality, even if he is nervous or hesitant, he still can't tell that he has any feeling of fear.

In the next second, the pitch-black gun barrel pressed against Li Xian's, that is, Liu Jianming's waist without warning.The field of vision on the screen changed accordingly, and another actor in the film, Chen Yongren played by Andy Lau, appeared silently.

His slightly scruffy appearance and bushy beard make him look like a lost uncle with an unsatisfactory life.

Li Xian smiled, that's right, he smiled when he was pressed against the ruthless muzzle of the bullet.He didn't look like a 'victim' who might be killed at any time, and he didn't even try to stop Andy Lau from handcuffing him.

The dense dark clouds that blocked the sun occupied all the light on the rooftop at this moment, depressing and wanting to explode at any time.Only the next moment, this sudden dark cloud disappeared suddenly.

Li Xian's frown relaxed at some point, he shrugged his shoulders and turned around, looked directly at Andy Lau who was restricting his freedom, and said with a chirp: "You undercover agents are really interesting, you are always here See you on the rooftop."

bang!The dazzling screen dimmed, and a row of purple and gold fonts appeared one after another: "2002 joint production of directors Mak Siu-fai and Liu Weiqiang."

The background music that pierces the silence like a train whistle sounds at the same time, and there is another row of dazzling fonts: "Dream-like city that fascinates the body and mind, the first police and gangster masterpiece that reflects the drug situation and swaps roles."

There were two consecutive beeps, and the first wave of introductions of the grand debut disappeared, and the short film screen returned to the silent rooftop that made people tremble uncontrollably.

"Give me a chance." Same as before, the corners of Li Xian's mouth were still slightly raised.It looked like he was smiling, but he was actually experiencing an extremely tangled inner tear.

"How to give it to you?" Andy Lau narrowed his eyes and blurted out almost instantly.

"I had no choice at the time. Now, I want to be a good person." The BGM background music is getting louder and louder, and the effect of the lens is also becoming flickering, as if what is happening now is an illusory scene.

Heh... Andy Lau sneered, spread his hands and said, "Then go talk to the judge and see if the judge will give you a chance. I'm sorry, I'm a policeman!"

The rooftops in the short film were all distorted at this moment, and the two male protagonists who faced each other were also absorbed into the unknown dark world.

Police cars and bandit cars raced wildly in the busy urban streets, and the torrential rain swirled throughout the city.The appearances of Kelly Chen, Sammi Cheng, Anthony Wong Chau-sang, Eric Tsang, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and other leading actors passed by in a flash.

"Two characters with very different fates but so similar, a story of life and death. Whether it is fate to trick people or man to conquer nature, what awaits you is an unexpected ending."

The magnetic narration voice is chanting quickly and shockingly, and the wonderful pictures on the screen are constantly flashing.The dark drug nest, the dangerous gun battle, the secluded cage, the camera finally freezes on Li Xian and Andy Lau leaning back, half-closed one eye and holding a gun, staring at the dark front.

"Li Xian!"

"Andy Lau!"

"Suspense identity, just a thought! The most sincere soul, the most shocking heart!"

"On August 8th, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will join forces. On August 20th, "Infernal Affairs" will be released simultaneously in major movie theaters in the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This time, we will reveal a different chemical effect for you!"

……

The official launch of the final trailer marks that the movie "Infernal Affairs", which has not been heard of since the film was officially finalized, has re-entered all eyes.Such a co-produced blockbuster that has caused huge repercussions on both sides of the strait and three places since the fixed-angle press conference has brought together big-name movie stars from all walks of life and has attracted much attention is finally about to be released!

Before the official release of each film, the production and hairdressing company will carry out a series of promotional activities to gather popularity and increase the popularity of the film.According to common sense, if a film comes out without any news for a few months, it will often encounter embarrassment after it is released.

Just like the grand release of "Taiping Wheel", which is called the Chinese version of "Titanic" since December 2014, 12, even with the dreamy luxury lineup of Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo, Nagano Ami and other Asian ace superstars, The box office on the first day only won 2 million...

This number, in that era, and considering such a huge investment and lineup, it can indeed be regarded as a cold rush to the street.The reason for this, apart from the quality of the movie, is that the most important thing is that the promotion of "Taiping Wheel" before its release was not enough. Although many viewers know about this movie, they don't know its latest progress.

As a result, the popularity of "Taiping Wheel" was overshadowed by youth films such as "The Year in a Hurry" in the same period until the day it was released.Comparing the investment of the two films, John Woo, who has worked so hard to create a high-standard, high-end and large-scale production film, may have been seriously hit by his self-confidence in the profession of director...

Of course, there are no absolutes in everything. Although "Infernal Affairs" did not put much effort into hype and gimmicks, and did not break out any explosive news such as lace news, but surprisingly, the popularity of this film has never been extinguished. .

One of the biggest contributors is Li Xian, who is the film's leading male lead.

The news of Li Xian who returned from the United States more than a month ago has never stopped. The news that the sales of the second album has repeatedly broken records has made the entire music world excited.Not only that, after participating in the "Super Girl" draft night, he was even more "fueled", and the brand new single "Chinese Style" sung on the stage has now firmly secured the top spot on the charts of major websites. Location.

At the same time, the number of officially certified fans of Li Xian's Baidu Tieba personal space officially exceeded 1000 million yesterday, becoming the first focus star to break through tens of millions of followers since the official operation of Baidu Tieba.

He has become the king of music in the music world, and after the release of the final trailer of "Infernal Affairs", he ignited the irresistible fire of the prairie fire to the film and television industry...

"As soon as I opened the browser this morning, I saw the promotional video of "Infernal Affairs". It was so shocking. On the 20th, I will definitely take my daughter-in-law to the cinema to support! PS: Li Xian is so immortal, I can't even see it Is he playing the bad guy or the good guy!"

"My God... I can't believe that a domestic film can produce such great special effects! Have you seen the hail of bullets? They just hit the actors in their flesh!"

"Another major breakthrough! Li Xian can always surprise us, I am very eager to go to the cinema and see what kind of tricks he has performed for me this time..."

Manchao's positive reviews appear on major domestic forum websites such as Tieba, Tianya, and Blog.With such a high-level promotional film production specification and thrilling suspense plot, the content of just a few minutes will make the audience want to stop!

However, such praise and praise basically appear on mainland websites, while some discussions in Hong Kong and Taiwan are completely contrary to it. Not only that, the object of their dissatisfaction is also directed at the actor Li Xian!
"Is this the movie where the mainland actor took the leading role? Haha, I will definitely not go to see it! We Hong Kong people want to watch a local blockbuster with only our Hong Kong actors!"

"Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai are really old and useless. Judging from the promo of "Infernal Affairs", they put all their focus on creating suspense, but it makes people decide that it is deliberate and boring!"

"Cut, even a promotional film is based on that mainland actor Li Xian. What's the point of such a movie? When can he get a monopoly at the box office and not hold other actors' thighs, and then come to our Hong Kong and Taiwan markets!"

Such two opposing voices erupted and spread across the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The fan groups thousands of kilometers away wanted to start a fierce battle for Sibi on the Internet. Wall software and VPN have not yet been popularized, and a barrier that cannot be broken through has separated their war of words.

Years, never stop.At this time, the film production team of "Infernal Affairs" once again dropped a blockbuster to the outside world!
On a sunny afternoon, the periphery of Hong Kong's Hung Hom Stadium was full of dark crowds, and the crowded scene was particularly lively.Right in front of the crowd, a star-studded red carpet spread out.Today, the film "Infernal Affairs", which has been controversial and even encountered several waves of boycotts in Hong Kong, will hold its premiere here.

Such a grand red carpet ceremony and premiere venue, in addition to showing that the producers attach great importance to it, there is another important reason - the two directors invited several big-name movie stars who have worked with them since the film to enjoy this show together. A heart-wrenching drama that condenses their thousands of efforts!
