Chapter 647: Watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests
When Li Yi's "Infernal Affairs" is about to wrap up, "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Heroes" is about to be released.
It can be said that it is really fast.
You know, Li Yi's "Infernal Affairs" started preparations nearly three months earlier than the other party. But what was the result?
The other party took about a month from preparation to finalization, and then the post-production time was very short. Taken together, in less than two months, the film was scheduled to be released directly.
If a movie like this is to be released, the premiere must be huge.
After all, it is still known as the revival of Hong Kong films, and the lineup is indeed strong enough.
The two Kung Fu superstars are the real deal. Even if one is old and can no longer fight, and the other has fewer and fewer works in recent years, they are indeed top stars.
The premiere was indeed a huge event. No, the media had already covered it extensively before the premiere even started.
Li Yi also received the invitation letter. This is not to mean that he is deliberately disgusting Li Yi. The main reason is that since "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Couple" is under the banner of revitalizing Hong Kong films, and this trend was initiated by Li Yi first, plus
Given Li Yi's identity, no matter what, this invitation must be sent.
After all, the cast of "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Heroes" is really strong. No matter what you say, Cheng Hu, he is indeed a Kung Fu superstar, and he is internationally famous.
At least, in foreign countries, Cheng Hu's reputation is indeed big enough, and he has indeed built up his reputation. For this reason alone, in China, there is really no one who can compare with him.
The appeal is indeed second to none, and it is in the name of the revival of Hong Kong films, so basically all the filmmakers from Hong Kong Island will come to support it, and Li Yi will naturally not be absent.
"Are they picking peaches?" Mu Qing also dressed up today and attended the event hand in hand with Li Yi.
He couldn't help but curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly.
For Mu Qing, she naturally wouldn't like coming here, because in her opinion, Chen Keming and Cheng Hu just stole Li Yi's achievements, or picked the peaches planted by Li Yi.
"It's not that exaggerated. As long as you are a Hong Kong filmmaker, you can take advantage of the popularity of the topic of Hong Kong film revival. It's just that they did it with a bigger fanfare." Li Yi shook his head with a smile.
"Are you really not angry at all?" Mu Qing asked with some confusion.
"It's a lie to say that I don't care at all, but if I'm angry, it's not that bad. I don't lack that much." Li Yi smiled and tightened his hands affectionately.
"This is the entertainment industry, shouldn't you be used to it a long time ago?" Li Yi couldn't help but smile a little when he saw his girlfriend's cute and angry look.
"That's because what happened to you, shouldn't I be angry?" Director Mu blinked and looked at Li Yi and said angrily.
"It's time, let's go, it's time to go in. Well, let's take a look at the quality of the films produced by their "Hong Kong Film Speed". If it's good, that's it. If it's messed up, then you can't blame me for not being martial.
That's great!" Li Yi said with a smile.
Mu Qing couldn't help but her beautiful eyes lit up. She didn't know why, but she liked Li Yi's domineering attitude of "not talking about martial ethics"!
As soon as Li Yi and Mu Qing appeared on the scene, they immediately became the focus of countless media.
To be precise, Li Yi became the focus.
No way, in "Police Heroes: Wise and Brave Couples", not only Mu Qing felt that Chen Keming and Cheng Hu had picked the peaches planted by Li Yi, but the media also thought so.
Therefore, in their opinion, Li Yi should be the most unhappy.
And with Li Yi's fame and status, if he could get some words of dissatisfaction out of Li Yi's mouth, then the front page headline would be settled again.
Li Yi had already expected this.
"Director Li, there are rumors that the sequel of "Police Heroes" is a preemptive attempt to revive Hong Kong police dramas and is suspected of peach picking. What do you think?"
"Will "Infernal Affairs" still be released as scheduled?"
"Will the early release of "Police Heroes" affect Director Li's new film "Infernal Affairs"?"
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
"Director Li, can you tell me what you think of Director Chen Keming?"
"Director Li, what do you think of the speed at which Hong Kong films are reproduced?"
All of a sudden, all the reporters from the entertainment media almost poked their microphones directly into Li Yi's mouth.
If it weren't for the security personnel who formed a protective wall to block the situation, Li Yi would have been knocked down by this group of crazy entertainment reporters.
But even so, Li Yi knew that these people would not give up unless they said something.
Li Yi stopped with a smile and said: "First of all, don't spread the word about picking peaches. Any Hong Kong filmmaker can hold high the banner of the revival of Hong Kong films. One person cannot complete this mission! Yes!
I am actually happy about this, which shows that Hong Kong filmmakers are working hard in this direction."
"Secondly, "Infernal Affairs" will be released as scheduled! "Police Heroes" is the best police film series in Hong Kong. I am also a fan of Big Brother, so I am also looking forward to this movie!"
"Finally, I won't comment on the speed of Hong Kong films. After all, just because I can't do it, doesn't mean others can't do it!"
"Okay, everyone, please stop blocking me. I won't answer any more questions!"
After Li Yi finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to them.
The entertainment reporters are still quite discerning. Li Yi has already answered the question. If they are still pestering them at this time, then there will be nothing wrong with Li Yi not giving him face.
Entering the premiere, Cheng Hu and Chen Keming personally greeted them at the door.
"Director Li, welcome!"
"Director Li, by releasing it first, you didn't disrupt Director Li's plan, right? If so, I apologize here! I'm also afraid that if "Infernal Affairs" is released first, it will whet the audience's appetite!"
Chen Keming smiled and said to Li Yi.
"No, everyone has to report to me if they want to make a movie? I'm not from the film bureau!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Director Li is very generous, please come in quickly!" Chen Keming smiled and made an inviting gesture.
Li Yi and Mu Qing came to their seats and sat down.
The premiere of "Police Heroes 6" was indeed star-studded.
From this point of view, it is no wonder that so many media and movie fans say that it was Chen Keming and others who picked Li Yi's apple.
After all, the first time is always the most special.
Of course, the premise is that it must be successful.
Not only the filmmakers from Hong Kong Island, but also many filmmakers from the Mainland came to support us today, not to mention the media and film critics.
The entire venue can accommodate more than 5,000 people, which is definitely a big deal.
Just such a premiere would definitely cost more than seven figures!
However, the publicity effect is indeed outstanding. It is conceivable that in tomorrow's news, this premiere will definitely occupy the front page headlines.
Of course, this kind of ultra-large-scale publicity is also a double-edged sword. If the movie is good, the effect will naturally be enhanced, but if the movie is of insufficient quality, it will be counterproductive.
