Chapter 417 It's hard to think if you don't succeed
"Infernal Affairs" is certainly very interesting.
Except for Chen Feng, almost everyone present was shocked by the final effect of "Infernal Affairs".
The movie's storyline, visuals, sound effects and soundtrack, as well as the actors' acting skills, no matter every aspect, "Infernal Affairs" is perfect.
Even the two directors and screenwriters, Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, were extremely shocked.
Although they have simulated this film countless times in their minds, and even Liu Qiangwei drew every storyboard shot, these things are all their own fantasies, and they have nothing to do with the actual finished film.
A big gap.
Because the finished film not only includes the story and storyboards, but also includes the acting skills of the actors, the art of light and shadow, the sound effects and soundtrack, the post-production technical processing, and the hard work of all the crew members.
All these things are intertwined to form the final film. Such a result is certainly more exciting than the fantasy scenes simulated by the director and screenwriter themselves!
Among them, the most important point is that during the actual filming process, the actors actually participated in the secondary creation.
After each character is truly performed by an actor, it is already very different from the image originally conceived by the director or screenwriter. Although overall these characters are performed according to the original setting, the specific
How to play a living person, every actor has his own personal experience in it.
Only in this way can a character have a unique personality!
For example, Chen Hui plays Chen Yongren and Lin Zhehua plays Liu Jianming.
During the acting process, both of them applied some of their personal experiences to these two characters, so in the end, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming were able to make everyone feel that they were both living people, rather than just simple drama symbols.
The other thing is the soundtrack of the movie.
Of course, Chen Feng took care of everything in this area.
In addition to the song "The Forgotten Time" that Zhang Yiwen had already released, Chen Feng also wrote several pieces of pure soundtrack music, which created a better atmosphere for the movie.
Especially the scene where Chen Yongren witnesses Officer Huang falling from the building.
Although Chen Hui's acting skills are explosive and one look is enough to move all the audience, but coupled with Chen Feng's soundtrack, when the images and music are intertwined, the impression is even more profound.
After all, a simple picture is not as powerful as the dual stimulation of visual and auditory stimulation.
In the future, viewers who have watched the movie will automatically think of that classic soundtrack when they see Chen Hui's eyes, or when they hear that classic soundtrack, they will automatically think of Chen Hui's eyes.
The two have been perfectly blended together, an absolute classic!
…
Of course, the film "Infernal Affairs" has the greatest impact on everyone, and it is the overall rhythm of the film.
The story is smooth, the pace is fast and tight, and the details are appropriate. Some important events take a lot of time to describe, and some less important things are skipped immediately after leaving a clue. In this kind of relaxed plot of the film,
, many clues can be connected to form a relatively strict self-consistent logic, which is really rare.
Many people's first feeling after watching "Infernal Affairs" is...refreshing!
It's not about the plot, but the overall character of the film.
This feeling is really hard to get from other films.
…
After the final film was released, "Infernal Affairs" finally released its first trailer.
The opening of the trailer shows the scene when Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming met for the first time in an audio store.
The two of them sat on chairs, listening to Zhang Yiwen's song "The Forgotten Time", and then the screen began to speed up rapidly, with Morse code transmitting codes, Brother Chen speaking harshly to Officer Huang, a gun battle on the street, and psychological
The doctor's consulting room... Finally, on the rooftop, two blurry figures stood opposite each other.
Immediately afterwards, the camera flashed and the scene cut back to the scene of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming sitting and listening to music together in the audio store.
"Who...is knocking on my window..."
…
When the trailer was released, many people who were paying attention to the movie were extremely excited.
"Holy crap, there are really three movie kings and one movie queen! This lineup is really awesome!"
"Although great Chen Hui took a break for half a year, judging from this trailer, his acting skills are still at their peak. It's so exciting!"
"Fan Weide once again plays the role of the gangster, tsk tsk, so impressive...Have you ever seen anyone go to a funeral parlor and shake hands with a dead body? This is really amazing!"
"However, the one you see playing opposite Chen Hui is... Lin Zhehua... this... the gap is a bit big..."
"Judging from the trailer alone, it seems that Lin Zhehua can barely take on Chen Hui's role...but the whole film may not be optimistic!"
"Will he be completely crushed?"
…
Of course, in addition to discussing the characters in the trailer, many people also noticed Zhang Yiwen's interlude.
"The song "Forgotten Time" really sounds better the more I listen to it. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I listen to it in conjunction with the movie, and I really feel it."
"Zhang Yiwen's songs are all great, and this song was originally intended to pave the way for the movie. No wonder it wasn't promoted much before. It turns out there is an Easter egg buried here!"
"The song has been downloaded and the single is on loop."
"The alto is sweet, the treble is accurate, and the bass is deep... in a word, it is transparent!"
…
However, although the topic of "Infernal Affairs" has become much more popular after the trailer was released, it is still not as popular as Rongxing Media's "Love Wisdom" and Beidou Entertainment's "Deep Space Trek"!
After all, the resources and intensity invested in the promotion and marketing of these two films are much higher than those of "Infernal Affairs".
But Chen Feng was not too worried.
Because of the investment shares that were allocated previously, the film schedule of "Infernal Affairs" is at least basically guaranteed, and it is at least much better than the original "Crazy Stone".
With the basis of the number of films scheduled, the film's reputation will ferment faster. By then, everything will depend on the quality of the film and the box office results, and the early publicity will actually have no meaning.
Therefore, Chen Feng still has great confidence in "Infernal Affairs".
Especially after organizing the film's distributors and some cinema chain managers to watch the finished film together, everyone has higher expectations for "Infernal Affairs".
In the words of a theater manager, among the movies he has watched for so many years, "Infernal Affairs" is the one he thinks he likes the most, and this movie has all the conditions that a blockbuster movie should have.
Film quality, cast, topic popularity, release schedule... if these points are taken to the extreme, it will be difficult for a film to be successful!
