Chapter 677: This is really a heart-warming movie, believe me, believe me
Li Yi's words made the reporters below stunned.
In fact, this is really a misunderstanding that many people have.
It seems that success can only be considered successful if it sells billions like Li Yi's movies.
But in China’s film history, there are only about fifty films with a box office of over one billion.
Like Chen Manshan and Ye Hong, who have created eight or ten times the box office results, isn't it considered a great success?
“I have always firmly believed that there is a market demand for police and gangster films in Hong Kong, and films of any subject cannot succeed simply by following the trend and imitating them!
Instead of looking for excuses and reasons to throw the blame away, it is better to make a good movie and tell a good story seriously, whether it is a police movie or any other movie.
I have always firmly believed that Hong Kong police and gangster films are indeed the key to the revival of Hong Kong films.
That’s why I started the project "Dark War" just to tell everyone that I still believe that Hong Kong films, at least Hong Kong police and gangster films, will become an important part of Chinese-language films!"
"Director Li, then you have completely different reputations for the two films directed by Wang Feng and Wu Zhen, the Hong Kong version and the mainland version. They were both big hits on Hong Kong Island, but had a poor reputation in the mainland. Is this different from the mainland version?
Is it related to the film censorship system?”
"It's undeniable, it must be related!" Li Yi said calmly.
"But this is not a reason to make bad movies. As the saying goes, there is no rule. Any country or region has its own local rules. Since Hong Kong films want to enter the mainland market, they must naturally follow the mainland's rules.
Why do you insist on filming like that even though you know it’s impossible to pass the trial?
Therefore, this is also the reason why I want to make "Dark War". I want to tell them that Hong Kong films must be revived and police and gangster films must continue the glory of Hong Kong films. Naturally, they must follow the local customs.
Why are you special? There are many movies released in the Mainland that are blockbusters. They also tell stories and make movies under the same rules. But they can do it, why can't you?
Since you want the mainland market, you must abide by the rules of the mainland. When watching a movie, the audience will not care whether it is a Hong Kong film or a mainland film. They are all Chinese-language films. Why do you think you are different?"
Li Yi's taunting made all the reporters below feel as if they had been injected with blood.
The headlines are there!
However, there seems to be a lot of news material that is worthy of making headlines.
This is such a happy trouble!
Soon reporters began to interview other main actors.
"Brother Jie, can you introduce the character you play?" the reporter asked.
"How should I put it? The character I played this time is completely different from Liu Jianming. He is a thief, but I believe he will be a righteous thief that everyone will like. He is elegant and uninhibited, and always has a plan in mind!
He is not as complicated as Liu Jianming, he is confident and can do anything with ease!
By the way, let me reveal some news, ahem, I will wear women's clothes in the movie!"
After saying that, Chen Weijie shut up.
But the reporters below all had their eyes shining!
Women's clothing?
And a top star like Chen Weijie actually plays a cross-dressing boss in a movie?
This, this damn thing can make headlines again!
Many people have even started to have pictures in their minds.
Then there is Liang Feng!
Compared with the explosive news about Chen Weijie, the cross-dressing boss, it is hard to say that there is anything explosive about his experiment with He Shangsheng.
"The character I play, Ho Shang-sheng, simply put, you can see many shadows of the protagonists in Hong Kong police and gangster movies in him!"
Gone?
Next is Luo Xian!
"I don't have anything to say, but I don't have to die this time, and I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Crime Unit. Everyone knows it!"
"Hahaha!" The reporters immediately got Luo Xian's point.
Huang Qifa can also be regarded as a truly emotional character in Hong Kong police movies.
And police officers like Huang Zhicheng are completely different things!
Zhuang Bin smiled and said: "I play a villain, but not as bad as Han Chen!"
Soon the topic returned to Li Yi.
"Director Li, what kind of film is "Dark War"? Is it similar to "Infernal Affairs"?"
Li Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true. The main theme of "Infernal Affairs" is fate, endless hell, and reincarnation! It is a repressed and obscure despair. It can be regarded as a dark fairy tale, but "Dark War" is
It’s a, how should I put it? It should be a very heart-warming movie!”
However, when they heard Li Yi say that "Dark War" is a very heart-warming movie, none of the reporters believed it.
After all, Li Yi has learned from past mistakes.
He said earlier that "The Story of Hachiko" is a movie that heals the soul, but in the end, those who believed it ended up crying like fools.
So in their opinion, Li Yi's words must be listened to in reverse.
"Really, when it comes to police movies, people may always first think of the underworld, killings, gun battles, gangsters are ruthless and unscrupulous; the police are not afraid of danger, sacrifice and sacrifice... the cold confrontation and struggle between police and gangsters. It seems that everything is
It's so chaotic and cold, and it doesn't seem to be associated with warmth. There are very few movies that can always give people warmth, but I believe that when you watch "Dark War", you will find that this is really a very warm movie!
In this movie, although there are police and gangsters who use knives and guns, overall, no one dies. Think about it, no one dies. How can a movie like this not be heart-warming?
Okay, let me explain in detail again. The story told in this movie is about a kidnapper with a special identity and a special purpose, and a policeman with a keen insight, and two people with high IQs, in a struggle.
A tacit understanding and sympathy arose.
Although there are inevitably all kinds of conflicts and incompatibility between them, there is also all kinds of warmth."
"Of course it's up to you to believe it or not!"
It's just that obviously every reporter has seen through Li Yi.
His words should be understood in reverse.
If no one dies, it must be a heart-warming movie?
Haha, just one person died in "The Story of Hachiko, the Faithful Dog". What was the result?
Warmth or not has nothing to do with whether the dead or the undead are alive, okay?
Li Yi looked at the disbelief expressions on the reporters below and cursed endlessly.
It’s true that no one believes you when you tell the truth. What’s your expression?
Li Yi really didn't lie this time.
"Dark War" is indeed a relatively relaxed and warm police film.
Even the big villain, the bald guy, doesn't show any extremely evil scenes.
Not to mention the silly and strong characters, this is a really interesting movie anyway.
"Infernal Affairs" is a dark fairy tale, then "Dark War" is a real police fairy tale!
It's just a pity that he has no self-awareness at all and has no idea how deeply those movie fans and reporters resent him.
Well, the name of Director Dog is the most intuitive explanation!
