Chapter 645: The Point of Needle Against the Maid, Version N
After all, Hong Kong Island is just a small place. It can be said that people in the film industry always look up but not when they look down.
Hong Kong Island has experienced a golden age. Indeed, Li Yi's "Infernal Affairs" can be said to have the largest lineup of Hong Kong films in history.
But that doesn’t mean that it’s really all possible.
And if Chen Keming persuades Cheng Hu, it is really not impossible to recruit a group of people to snipe Li Yi.
As Chen Keming said, there are many people who don't like Li Yi.
Such as Oriental Image, such as Huang Disheng's group of people.
I don’t know how Chen Keming did it. Anyway, Chen Keming quickly took the first step and attracted Cheng Hu.
In fact, Cheng Hu is really old. Although he is still famous, he is still the number one superstar in the Chinese film industry.
But, in fact, he was quite embarrassed. Cheng Hu was a star player, but he couldn't do it anymore when he got older. And the key point is, even if he could do it, times have changed.
His style of action scenes seems to be no longer popular.
And this time, in the name of the revival of Hong Kong films, if it really succeeds, then Li Yi will really become a god in Hong Kong Island.
Who is Cheng Hu? Who in the film industry doesn’t call him “big brother”?
At first, Cheng Hu was just a little unwilling, but soon, Chen Keming's words made Cheng Hu's ambition reignite.
For the sequel to Cheng Hu's most successful "Police Heroes" series, he found the best gold medal screenwriting team in Hong Kong to write the script, and then found Hong Kong Island's top film and television stars to star in it, and then hit the speed of Hong Kong movies and revived Hong Kong Island police and gangster movies.
With the name, this gimmick immediately attracted all the fans.
After analysis, Cheng Hu also felt that the feasibility was very high, and once it succeeded, who would Li Yi be?
Cheng Hu was the first to launch the revival of Hong Kong films!
As for being popular, does Cheng Hu need it?
There is no need at all, and the topic of the revival of Hong Kong films is not something that Li Yi can use alone, right?
So, it can be said that the two sides hit it off immediately.
Beijing, Hilton Hotel.
Chinese kung fu superstar Cheng Hu joined hands with Hong Kong's famous director Chen Koming to hold a press conference for the project launch of the sixth part of the new film "Police Heroes" "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Couple".
Although Cheng Hu said that there have indeed been no big-selling movies in recent years, his status in the world is still there.
As for Chen Keming, although his reputation is a bit bad in the eyes of some people, it is still enough to be called a famous director.
Coupled with the "Police Heroes" series, it can be said to be the most successful series of police and gangster films in Hong Kong.
At this time, when the sequel project of this series of movies is launched, the first reaction of sensitive media people is that Chen Keming and Cheng Hu are going to cause trouble!
After all, it sounds very familiar, and there are so many coincidences.
It’s also a police and gangster film, and this time it’s a sequel to Cheng Hu’s Hong Kong police and gangster film series.
At the same time, the name of the movie "Police Heroes: A Wise and Brave Couple" is worth pondering.
After all, Cheng Hu's "Police Heroes" series has always been his one-man show, but now the sixth sequel has turned out to be a two-hero series.
"Infernal Affairs" is also a two-hero series!
"Infernal Affairs" is also a police movie!
Not to mention the topic of the revival of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong police and gangster films, which have not yet died down.
So at this time, engaging in such a big battle is obviously going to cause trouble.
as expected.
Soon the press conference began, with Chen Keming standing on the stage and talking.
"The revival of Hong Kong films is the mission of every Hong Kong film maker. Hong Kong films are a very important part of Chinese films. Director Li Yi said earlier that the hope for the revival of Hong Kong films lies in Hong Kong police and gangster films. I personally agree with this very much.
of!"
"But I think that simply making Hong Kong Island police and gangster films may not be the right path to revival. Nowadays, the Chinese film market is in the Mainland. Therefore, I think that Hong Kong films in the new era, Hong Kong Island police and gangster films, want to make films that will appeal to both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places.
If the audience likes the film, then it must add different elements, such as cross-border cooperation!"
"To this end, I found Brother Cheng Hu and worked together to restart the "Police Heroes" series. It's just different from the previous single-protagonist setting. This time we specially invited Mainland Kung Fu superstar Lin Nanbin and Brother Cheng Hu.
Form the strongest duo in history to fight crime together! Mainland kung fu superstars and Hong Kong kung fu superstars join hands to create a truly new era of police and gangster films!"
"..."
I have to say that Chen Keming and Cheng Hu are indeed very thoughtful.
Lin Nanbin's status in the world is slightly inferior to that of Cheng Hu, but in fact, Lin Nanbin has also been in Hong Kong and Hollywood, and, purely in terms of fame, he is not weaker than Cheng Hu.
The key point is that although Lin Nanbin became famous on Hong Kong Island, he is indeed a mainlander.
And the two major Kung Fu superstars from Mainland China and Hong Kong Island join forces, and the momentum is indeed not weaker than the lineup of Li Yi's "Infernal Affairs".
Not only that, Chen Keming also put forward his own new point of view and proposed the speed of Hong Kong films in the past.
Use the shortest possible time to create the best movie to help revitalize Hong Kong films.
Don't tell me, no matter what, the gimmick is definitely top-notch.
After all, it is two top Chinese Kung Fu superstars co-starring together, as well as various movie kings and actresses.
At the same time, we have invited three top screenwriters from Hong Kong to collaborate on the script, which seems to be a very reliable project!
It is also the sequel to the most successful series of Hong Kong police movies, "Police Heroes", which requires a lineup, a sentiment, and a gimmick.
Suddenly, the renaissance of Hong Kong films was once again heated up.
And it can't be slapped. There was only one movie "Infernal Affairs" before, and there was no rival. But now, on the surface, "Infernal Affairs", which means Li Yi's reputation is more famous, is actually not as good as "Police Heroes" in other aspects.
"The Wise and Brave Two Heroes"!
Therefore, from a publicity perspective, Chen Keming and Cheng Hu were undoubtedly successful.
Suddenly and naturally, "Infernal Affairs" and "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Heroes" became the most direct rivals. Who is the leading film in the revival of Hong Kong films?
And "Police Heroes: Wise and Brave" is even more advantageous than "Infernal Affairs", because didn't Chen Keming say it all?
This time with this movie, he wants to recreate the speed of Hong Kong films when they were at their most glorious!
What is Hong Kong film speed? It means that a movie can be shot in as little as a week!
Although Li Yi is also a fast shooter, compared with the so-called speed of Hong Kong movies, it is really not even a little bit worse.
Soon there was another huge wave of public opinion in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
"Infernal Affairs" versus "Police Heroes: Wise and Brave Heroes" is a close match, but also a super lineup beyond imagination.
Movie fans immediately went crazy with joy.
They don't care what the special purpose of both parties is, but a movie with such a luxurious lineup and such a reliable lineup is extremely worth looking forward to!
