Chapter 646: Oh no, director, someone wants to pick your peach
"The two kung fu superstars Cheng Hu and Lin Nanbin have joined hands to create the strongest lineup of the police film "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Heroes" to help the revival of Hong Kong films!" - Southern Weekend
"The first shot at the revival of Hong Kong police dramas, who will win between "Police Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs"?" - "Entertainment News"
"The famous Hong Kong director Chen Keming challenged Li Yi, and "Police Heroes" challenged "Infernal Affairs". Who is the real founder of the renaissance of Hong Kong films? Let us wait and see!" - "Film Weekly"
"With a luxurious lineup that meets its opponents, two top-notch Hong Kong police and gangster films, the revival of Hong Kong films may usher in a new chapter!" - Xinwang Entertainment!
The media are all afraid of chaos in the world. They don't care at all which one of these two movies is better.
However, having opponents is a good thing.
Controversy, hype, two movies are always more entertaining than one.
This can be seen from the fact that netizens are divided into two groups.
"The "Police Heroes" series is an eternal classic series of Hong Kong police and gangster films! This time it is even more awesome. It's a hit straight away. It feels more promising than "Infernal Affairs"!"
"Cheng Hu is old, can he fight? And why are there two wise and brave heroes? If he can't fight, why don't he change his mind? Why do he feel like he is about to rush to the street! What's more, he is still talking about Hong Kong.
How fast is the film? I still feel that "Infernal Affairs" directed by Gou is more reliable!"
"Lin Nanbin and Cheng Hu, this lineup is unique, and in police and criminal films, Cheng Hu and Lin Nanbin are both professionals. Chen Keming has also made many police and criminal films. Li Yi is amazing, but I find it hard to believe that he can make such Hong Kong-style films.
Cop movie!”
"Director Dog seems to be the first one to suggest that Hong Kong police and gangster films are the hope for the revival of Hong Kong films. But just a short time later, Chen Keming came out to pick peaches. He was in a hurry, returning to the speed of Hong Kong films, waiting for bad films!"
"That's a real dog upstairs. There's something about the revival of Hong Kong films. I don't know how many years I've been shouting about it. Li Yi is pretty awesome, but that doesn't mean he's good at everything, right? He seems to have never filmed anything real.
Big scenes, not a single enemy appears in the whole film of "Wreaths Under the Mountain", and the battle scenes in "War Meridian" are so trivial that I can hardly imagine that he can shoot any exciting gunfight scenes!"
...
No one can win everyone's approval and love.
Li Yi is naturally the same.
Similarly, Cheng Hu's "Police Heroes" series can indeed be said to be the most successful series among Hong Kong police and gangster films, and it has a lot of fans.
In addition, this time the lineup is indeed unprecedentedly strong, and in terms of experience, Chen Keming is indeed far better than Li Yi in police and gangster movies.
As we all know, Li Yi seems to have almost never made any action movies or gunfight movies. Therefore, it is indeed doubtful whether he can make good police and gangster movies.
Before, there was only one film, "Infernal Affairs", which was nothing, but now that we have opponents, it's naturally different.
Li Yi naturally also got the news.
However, he was very calm.
"This is a good thing!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Do you really think so?" Chen Weijie asked curiously.
"You see, "Infernal Affairs" has become popular again, right? Moreover, the revival of police and gangster films in Hong Kong requires Hong Kong filmmakers to work together to produce more high-quality works. Therefore, I
I hope everyone can try it." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Actually, I'm a little worried now that "Police Heroes" will fail." After Li Yi finished laughing, he sighed.
"Uh? What do you mean?" Liang Feng asked doubtfully.
"Think about it, if Director Chen of "The Cop Heroes" wants to make a Hong Kong movie, it will definitely be released before us. I'm not worried that the dividends of this popularity will be eaten up by them. If their movie
If it succeeds, then the audience's expectations for our film will be higher. But if the other party fails and hits the market, do you think everyone will think that the banner of the revival of Hong Kong films is no different from the past?
Trickery?
By then, the expectations for "Infernal Affairs" will be greatly reduced!" Li Yi explained.
This is the truth. In fact, speaking of it, the timing of the other party's choice is indeed very good, but Li Yi really doesn't care that much about the popularity.
At least what Chen Keming said is correct. Whether it is a Hong Kong film or a Hong Kong police and gangster film, if you want to embark on the road of revival and regain its glory, it must not be possible with one or two films.
The only thing Li Yi is worried about is that the other party will attack the street. In that case, it will hurt the fans' "feelings" for Hong Kong police and gangster movies!
It will also have some negative impact on the subsequent "Infernal Affairs".
Li Yi is still filming in a low-key manner.
The filming progress of "Infernal Affairs" was very smooth. Li Yi even wanted to thank the other party for this. I don't know if it was because he wanted to compete with the other party, so Li Yi found that the actors on the crew seemed to be stimulated and their enthusiasm was even higher.
On the other hand, compared to "Infernal Affairs" which was low-key and very little news came out after filming started, "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Couple" is extremely high-profile.
From time to time some news will come out.
Cheng Hu and Lin Nanbin staged a real-life duel!
For the sake of filming progress, Lin Nanbin was slightly injured and could not leave the line of fire!
Cheng Hu and Lin Nanbin have a tacit understanding of each other. Instead of fighting each other physically, the two Kung Fu superstars fight with each other instead of fighting wits!
Which actress was scared to tears by the villain on the set? Wait!
It can be said that news comes out frequently.
In fact, this is a very normal thing.
Because since Chen Keming wants to release it before "Infernal Affairs", even though "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Couple" is relatively late to start filming, in fact, the progress will definitely be faster than "Infernal Affairs". In other words, the release of "Infernal Affairs"
Time is not far away, so it is normal to shoot a promotion at the same time.
As for "Infernal Affairs", on the contrary, there is no such urgency. On the contrary, it is because "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Heroes" was previously bundled with "Infernal Affairs" for publicity and hype, so it is natural for everyone to pay attention to one of the movies.
I will also pay attention to another movie!
As a result, Chen Keming and Cheng Hu really worked hard this time. In just one month, "Police Heroes: Wise and Brave Heroes" was actually announced to have been completed!
Although the filming progress of "Infernal Affairs" is not slow, only two-thirds of the filming tasks have been completed.
You must know that "Infernal Affairs" was launched more than a month earlier than the other film.
When it comes to the speed of Hong Kong films, Chen Koming has indeed achieved it. Of course, this also makes many people wonder whether a film shot in such a short time can really be made well?
Although the speed of Hong Kong films sounds good, after entering the new century, the actual speed of filming has long been difficult to reach the original level.
Because times have changed, today's audiences are no longer the same audiences as before. Today's audiences have been baptized by countless excellent movies, and their requirements for the quality of movies are not what they were back then.
PS: Please wait a little longer for any updates, there will be updates!
