If "Infernal Affairs" was released, many people regarded it as a "demonstration film", then after experiencing "Infernal Affairs" to reach the pinnacle of Hong Kong films, it has also experienced the failure of many imitators.
After returning, "Dark War" can be said to have truly become the "salvation work" for the revival of Hong Kong films!
Everyone knows that "Dark War" cannot fail!
However, the film directors in Hong Kong were full of expectations and blessings for "Infernal Affairs" and hoped that the film would be successful, because at that time, everyone was not sure whether the Hong Kong police film was really a Hong Kong film.
the way.
Therefore, if someone needs to take a trip, "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the best choice.
But "Dark War" is different.
Because "Infernal Affairs" Li Yi has proved that if the police film is well shot, it can still become a classic and can gross a lot of money at the box office. To put it simply and clearly, that is, I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it!
It’s not that the subject matter isn’t good, it’s that the people are bad!
So their thoughts about "Dark War" are undoubtedly complicated.
After all, if "Dark War" is successful again, not to mention reaching the level of "Infernal Affairs", as long as the box office reputation is not bad, then those of them who used to clamor for various excuses will be severely slapped in the face!
April 29th.
This is not a special day, but for fans of old Hong Kong films and fans of Li Yi, this day seems to be celebrated in advance.
Tonight is the second installment of "Dark War", Li Yi's much-anticipated Hong Kong police drama.
Because it uses the original cast of "Infernal Affairs", many people regard "Dark War" as a sequel to "Infernal Affairs".
This movie carries the expectations and hopes of many people.
At least movie fans hope that this movie will be successful, and they may not dare to hope that it will reach the level of "Infernal Affairs". After all, the reason why a classic is a classic is that it cannot be copied.
What's more, it's a movie of the same type.
But as long as the performance is not bad, then it is enough.
It can be said that the film schedule received by "Dark War" this time far exceeds the original film schedule of "Infernal Affairs".
According to the film schedule data obtained by Mu Nanxing and Fang Dongbai, "Dark War", which has no rivals in the same period, jumped from their estimated 60% to 100% after the screening meeting.
Seventy-five percent, and this is not the limit. As long as the box office performance is good on the first day, it may even exceed 90 percent in the follow-up.
Because May is really not a particularly popular time period.
The short holiday was originally considered a small schedule, but other movies have avoided Li Yi's Big Devil. As a result, many viewers have no movies to watch at all during this schedule.
The premiere of "Dark War" was held on Hong Kong Island this time.
This is a choice made after many considerations.
At the same time, it is actually expressing a hope that "Dark War" can become a new starting point for the revival of Hong Kong films.
At Times Cinema in Times Square, Hong Kong Island, the long red carpet is laid out for dozens of meters.
In fact, for Hong Kong Island, it has been a long time since the national premiere of such an influential movie was held here.
Usually, the premieres of this type of cast and influential movies are mostly held in Beijing or cities like China.
In fact, to a certain extent, it just explains the current situation of the decline of Hong Kong films!
Therefore, when we arrived at Times Square tonight, the Hong Kong Island Police also sent a large number of uniformed police officers here to maintain order.
There is no way, "Dark War" is so awesome, and the number of stars attending tonight is definitely no less than those at the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.
Because not only famous celebrities and filmmakers from Hong Kong will be present, but many celebrities from the mainland will also come to support Li Yi's new film.
Therefore, many Hong Kong Island citizens gathered in Times Square early. Even if they did not have tickets and could not get in, just seeing so many big-name celebrities in attendance was enough for them to make the trip.
When Liu Bo came to Times Square, he saw countless movie fans holding up support lights and a sea of people.
Screams came and went, and I felt a little sad for a while.
Liu Bo has been dealing with movies all his life. He has been a senior film critic since the golden age of movies in Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, he is also one of the initiators of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards. Now in his late seventies, Liu Bo's love for Hong Kong films remains undiminished.
Regarding the current situation of Hong Kong movies, Liu Bo can be said to be heartbroken.
The heritage left over from the golden age of Hong Kong films still exists. When "Infernal Affairs" came out, Liu Bo cried with joy.
However, the hope was just there, but in the end, it was ruined by those Hong Kong filmmakers who were eager for quick success.
This made Liu Bo doubtful. Is there really any hope for the revival of Hong Kong films?
Fortunately, there is also Li Yi!
Unlike others, Liu Bo had full confidence in Li Yi.
How could Li Yi, who can produce a movie like "Infernal Affairs", be like other people who are eager for quick success and quick profit?
If it's just to make money, wouldn't it be easier to just make a sequel?
Why start a new movie?
Therefore, he is full of expectations for "Dark War".
Liu Bo naturally didn't go to the red carpet, and he quickly entered the premiere.
In the audience area for ordinary movie fans, Liu Bo took a look and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because, among the movie fans, the ratio of men to women is almost the same.
This is a very interesting thing.
Simply put, if female audiences were asked to choose what movies to watch, then police and gangster movies would definitely not be their first choice!
Unless they are fans of a certain starring star, most of the time, female viewers will naturally not like movies about fighting and killing.
However, "Dark War" actually invited so many female fans to the premiere, which was obviously intentional.
Li Yi has great ambitions!
He actually wants to make police movies to expand the existing movie-watching group.
Soon, the premiere began.
There is actually no fixed process for premieres, and the premieres of Li Yi's movies are usually more concise.
This time was no exception, I just went through some routine procedures.
Then the movie officially started showing.
The lights in the theater go out and the big screen lights up!
"Director Li Yi's work" appears on the big screen.
The audience at the premiere applauded involuntarily.
Many movie fans couldn't help but feel emotional when they saw this iconic subtitle!
If there is any Chinese-language film director who is the most iconic, it would probably be Li Yi or Director Gou, right?
The movie begins to appear.
On the dimly lit stairs, a figure walked up the stairs.
The main color is light blue!
In the picture, at the corner of the stairs, the front finally appeared.
Everyone recognized it, this is Chen Weijie!
He was wearing a suit, carrying a satchel, wearing sunglasses, holding on to the escalator, and walked all the way up!
Soon he came to the rooftop of the building.
Stand on the edge of the rooftop and look down from above!
ps: Xiaohei is not engaged in anti-theft, so what? If you have the conditions, can you come to Qidian to support the genuine version?
