"Welcome to our show as a guest and say hello to everyone!"
A gold medal variety show, Liang Wei and several other actors attended.
Although "Infernal Affairs" is not as good as "Monsters 2" at the box office, the discussion on the Internet is not low, even higher than "Monsters 2"!
In addition, the main creative staff of "Monsters 2" are all foreigners, and they left China after the promotion of the movie was completed, while "Infernal Affairs" is an out-and-out local movie, and it is very popular now. Naturally, variety shows invite actors
On the show.
In this issue, the guests are Qian Guang and other people who participated in the performance of "Infernal Affairs".
"Hello everyone, I am Liang Wei."
"Hi everybody, I'm......"
Liang Wei was the most famous person in the group, and he took the lead in greeting the host and others.
The unspoken rule in the industry is that the big names usually speak first or are interviewed, and then the rest of the group takes their turn.
"Hello, welcome to our show. I have wanted to invite you to the show for a long time. You finally have time." The host said with an exaggerated smile, narrowing the distance between them.
"This time, you brought your work "Infernal Affairs". This movie is currently being released in theaters and is very popular online. What was your mentality when you accepted this drama?"
Liang Wei first answered with a smile: "Actually, when I knew that Chen Mubai was the director at the beginning, I was already very interested. I admire him very much. I have seen his works and they are very outstanding."
Qian Guang said: "I read the script and accepted it decisively."
The other two people probably meant the same thing. Anyway, they were just bragging to Chen Mubai.
"The facts prove that your choice is right!" The host laughed: "This movie has already won 900 million box office in the first week. The industry estimates that the final score will be around 1.9 billion. It is already a very popular work.
!”
"And the rating of this movie has reached a historical level. It is an excellent work and the highest-rated movie in recent years. It is very rare."
"I am honored to have you here today. Can you tell us some interesting stories about the filming of the movie?"
"Actually, this movie was basically based on Chen Mubai's ideas when shooting. He has a very strong control over the details of the movie. In many cases, just follow his method and it will be fine. We will just be actors and perform him.
Just ask for it.”
Qian Guang said with a smile: "It's rare to be so relaxed in a crew. You don't need to think too much. You just need to perform according to director Chen Mubai's requirements."
Liang Wei nodded in agreement: "Yes, I am the person who has the most scenes with him. He took the lead in that rooftop scene. His acting skills are very superb. I often feel like I am being outshined by him."
Liang Wei is a double winner of the Golden Horse and Academy Awards, and has won more than one award. His acting skills are definitely among the top among Chinese actors!
Now, he actually said that he was teased by Chen Mubai. What does this mean!?
He admires Chen Mubai's acting skills so much?
Maybe it's an exaggeration, but Chen Mubai's acting skills are indeed very good. Every role in his movie has been well received, but this is the public's perception of his acting skills.
Everyone just thinks that his acting skills are very good, but they don't know to what extent.
Liang Wei's words gave him an intuitive answer. According to him, Chen Mubai's acting skills have already reached the top ranks.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to admire Chen Mubai so much!" The host pretended to be surprised: "It's a pity that he couldn't come to the scene today. I hope I can have the opportunity to invite him to our program next time."
Neither Chen Mubai nor Tao Yaoyao came, and they went to other programs.
They participated in the program in batches to promote the movie in order to maximize publicity.
Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao are lovers, so they basically appear on the show together, and the show is very effective and topical.
"That rooftop scene is considered a classic by many netizens. What do you think of it?"
Liang Wei pondered for a while and said: "I think his appearance is a very important thing for China's film and television industry, allowing people to focus more on the work itself instead of relying on hype, actors, etc. to attract audiences."
"The movie itself is a work of art. I think everyone should focus on the work rather than the influence of the actors. This will make the movie lose its original charm."
"Chen Mubai has added vitality to the film and television industry. He relies entirely on his works to speak for himself, unlike many movies that rely on hype and alternativeness to attract attention."
As a top actor in the industry, Liang Wei has experienced a lot, seen through many things, and is not afraid of offending people. He hopes to find an industry that will get better and better, rather than become a stagnant water.
Just like Chen Mubai is willing to compete with "Monster 2", no one except him dares to do so, because everyone values profit.
This point is understandable, and Liang Wei would not ask others to do anything.
But Chen Mubai's behavior made him admire him. After all, some people would break this cage. Liang Wei hoped that the influence of Hua Xia's works would become greater and greater and go international, instead of remaining complacent or even afraid of encountering challenges.
At present, it seems that only Chen Mubai has this ability.
When you are afraid of challenges, your works will also lose a lot of soul. Only those who are fearless can create truly ingenious works!
"It's rare to see you give such a high evaluation to a young person!" the host was surprised.
"No, he is just young, but in other aspects, I am not as good as him."
"I am honored to be able to cooperate with him. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will still be willing to cooperate with him."
Liang Wei laughed and said: "Wanting to make a good work is our motivation as actors, so we will spend a lot of time and energy to figure out the characters."
"Actually, when filming "Infernal Affairs", the speed could be faster, it could be completed in a month, and the shooting time every day would not be too long, but we shot for a long time."
"The reason is that Chen Mubai pursues quality. He is very attentive and strives for excellence."
"Many scenes were shot once, and the results were very good. But if he wanted to pursue better, Chen Mubai would shoot five or six times to find different feelings. Many times, it was a waste of time, and in the end he used all the scenes.
It’s the effect of the first version.”
"But we all support him. This is not a waste of time. It is an attitude. A rigorous attitude can produce good works. That's why "Infernal Affairs" can be so outstanding and have such a high rating. This is what he deserves.
score."
While Liang Wei was speaking, Qian Guang and others used every opportunity to say a few words, and they basically agreed with what he said.
After all, we are all in the same crew and are together during filming. We are very clear about Chen Mubai's on-site filming situation.
...
"Brother Mubai, "Infernal Affairs" has surpassed "Monsters 2"!" Luo Fan was on the phone with Chen Mubai, and he was very excited.
At the beginning, their purpose was to hope that Chen Mubai could make a Hong Kong-style movie to revitalize Hong Kong's film and television industry.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mubai's "Infernal Affairs" was not only a box office hit, but also had a huge reputation and received high reviews. It even became one of the highest-rated movies in China.
This achievement made him very excited!
This can be considered the pinnacle of Hong Kong films. A film with such a high rating is enough to be written into film history!
"Brother Luo, it's only been a day, why are you so excited?" Chen Mubai smiled.
"Let alone one day, there is no other domestic director besides you who can produce a work of this level!"
Before Chen Mubai, there were only a few directors who could beat foreign films during this time period and win the single-day box office championship.
But no director can beat a global blockbuster movie like "Monster".
After all, there are differences between foreign movies. Not all movies are blockbusters, and their influence is naturally different.
"But, according to your ability, you will definitely be the leader of the Chinese film and television industry in the future, and one day you will dominate these movies!" Luo Fan vowed, he was very optimistic about Chen Mubai's ability.
This is his fourth film. Every step of the way, the film has been a hit, with good reputation and box office, and the future is bright.
"That's a compliment, Brother Luo."
"By the way, brother Mubai, if you have time, you can write the script for "Infernal Affairs 2". We will film it when the time comes. Many netizens are waiting for the second movie!"
Originally, Chen Mubai only wanted to make one film of "Infernal Affairs", and the original films 2 and 3 were not planned to be produced.
But they couldn't resist the advice of Luo Fan and others. After seeing the finished film, they made a special request, hoping that Chen Mubai could write another script to explain the story of Han Chen and others.
There was no other way, so Chen Mubai agreed, gave the script of the second part, and made a prequel, leaving only one easter egg, which was all re-filmed later.
Of course it's not for money.
Chen Mubai wrote the script for the second part and enjoyed the box office share. He didn't have to be a director or actor. He could just make a cameo and enjoy the box office share. He could only agree "embarrassingly".
The main reason is that Luo Fan and others are so kind that it’s hard to refuse!
However, there are only 2, and 3 will not come out.
In Chen Mubai's view, "Infernal Affairs" is a classic, and 2 is acceptable. After all, it is a prequel, telling the relationship between everyone.
The third part is a sequel to Diao, just for the sake of making money, Chen Mubai is not willing to do it.
It's fine if the classic remains. Why force a sequel? It will only destroy the status of this movie in everyone's heart.
"Yes, I will write it when I have time, and I will give it to you as soon as possible."
"Then thank you for your hard work."
...
This description of Chen Mubai by Liang Wei and others was quickly broadcast.
Because they revealed a lot of details about the movie, Chen Mubai's attitude on the set was once again hotly debated.
"Infernal Affairs" has now become the single-day box office champion, and its popularity has skyrocketed. It surpassed foreign blockbusters after the first week, which is a rare achievement!
After all, we are still in a blowout period of movie box office growth, not a period of sluggishness. Few Chinese works can surpass each other during this period, let alone a blockbuster international blockbuster like "Monster"!
The popularity of "Infernal Affairs" has skyrocketed, and one can imagine the popularity of this program by Liang Wei and others.
Regarding their description of Chen Mubai, many netizens have seen it and participated in the discussion.
Even many people who have not watched "Infernal Affairs" have developed a strong interest in this movie. After all, what Liang Wei and others said on the show is a bit crazy, and the current work has been well received, so it is still very attractive to everyone.
interest of.
Chen Mubai saw the show and was a little embarrassed when Liang Wei and others praised him.
The other party praises him so much that he is even willing to sacrifice his own reputation. This kind of magnanimity is not something that anyone can have.
Especially stars of their level rarely do this. No one is willing to admit that they are inferior to others, nor will they be a green leaf for others, let alone use their own reputation to improve others.
Liang Wei did this, and Chen Mubai called him afterward to thank him and accept his favor.
Because of Liang Wei's own status, his words really added a lot of popularity to the movie, and the box office showed another negative growth in the second weekend.
"Infernal Affairs" has been the single-day box office champion for three consecutive days, firmly beating "Monsters 2".
Originally, everyone thought that this might be an accidental phenomenon, but three days of suppression had to make some people think more. Maybe Chen Mubai can really beat foreign blockbusters?
There is still a gap. The box office gap between the two movies is still about 500 million. The daily box office of "Infernal Affairs" only slightly beats "Monster 2", so the box office gap has not widened.
In any case, Chen Mubai has given everyone hope that Chinese films are not without the ability to compete with foreign blockbusters!
Seeing this situation, many netizens spontaneously called on everyone to support "Infernal Affairs", hoping to achieve this previously seemingly impossible goal!
"Everyone, go and support "Infernal Affairs". Our Chinese films can also beat foreign science fiction blockbusters!"
“Contribute a little effort to domestic films!”
"No, do you have to pay attention to your nationality when watching a movie?"
"Inexplicably, I feel that there are too many trolls. Recently, "Infernal Affairs" is all the topic. I feel disgusted after watching it too much..."
"I don't like police and gangster movies. I like science fiction and comedy movies. I really have no interest in going to the cinema to watch "Infernal Affairs"..."
Netizens once again discussed whether to support "Infernal Affairs", and some people even started to kidnap moral issues, raising the issue to nationality, which actually aroused resentment from some netizens.
Regardless of whether you are a fan or a fan, this kind of issue has triggered a lot of discussion, and the traffic of the movie has increased. The box office of "Infernal Affairs" is still strong, while the box office of "Monster 2" has already declined.
After all, it has been released for two weeks, and most of the people who should have watched it have watched it.
For special effects movies like "Monsters 2", most of them can be seen just by looking at them, and it's fun to take a picture.
Many people have watched "Infernal Affairs" twice or three times just to pay attention to the details that were missed before, and many people even read it with movie reviews.
Roger's film reviews were very positive. When many people watched "Infernal Affairs" again, they paid special attention to several details he mentioned. Indeed, as he said, the movie has many details.
There are also some things that he didn't even discover, but other film critics pointed them out, and many viewers went back to watch the movie with these questions in mind.
After all, film critics write reviews after watching a movie for the first time. It is impossible for one person to control every aspect, and there will always be omissions.
The more people discuss it, the more people watch the movie, and the more details are unearthed, and the audience finally understands why this movie is so highly rated. There are too many cryptic expressions.
