Chapter 1053: . "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War"

In fact, although "Infernal Affairs" has not yet finished the film, the promotion of this film has already begun.
First of all, when you mention "Infernal Affairs", you have to mention "Dark War", and you have to mention the revival of Hong Kong movies.
Although after the return of Hong Kong Island, everyone is Chinese.
But in terms of regional grouping, Hong Kong Island stars have been doing this all the time.
Although doing so many times, people will be described as narrow-minded.
I only stare at one acre of land on Hong Kong Island, but to be honest, no matter whether it is narrow or not, people do what they say they say.
Especially in terms of supporting newcomers, the old stars on Hong Kong Island really don't spare any effort.
The "Chill" of the previous life is obvious.
Although the two directors are veteran behind the scenes, they are both directing the tube for the first time.
The results of it? The lineup of "Chill" is absolutely luxurious.
The second of the four kings of Hong Kong Island, the actor, and many powerful star actors joined.
And such a movie, the cost is only over 100 million yuan, can you imagine?
You must know that the remunerations of such big names as Hua Tsai, Leung Ka Fai, and Aaron Kwok, under normal circumstances, add up to half of the cost, not to mention that there are many second- and third-tier veteran stars in the film.
Closer to home.
The Hong Kong film revival brand was once again raised high.
Naturally, a large number of Hong Kong Island stars all expressed their support.
If the previous "Dark War" was only a victory in the first battle, then the success of "Infernal Affairs" means that the possibility of Hong Kong film revival has been infinitely magnified.
For many people, Hong Kong movies are sentiments.
This is true of many people in mainland China.
After all, the main consumers of this generation have grown up watching Hong Kong movies.
The two leading actors of "Infernal Affairs" are Chen Dahua and Chen Qingyun.
It can be said that the continuation of the dual protagonists of "Dark War".
At the same time, the original crew also starred.
The public expectation of this movie is much higher than that of "Dark War 2".
Compared with "Dark War", "Infernal Affairs" can obtain more resources.
The script of "Infernal Affairs" itself was written by Wang Yifan, and the director was Cao Meng, the director of "Dark War", and the man behind the revival of Hong Kong Island film.
Secondly, this film is jointly invested by Huaxin and Times Light and Shadow.
Backed by the two giants, that's not even counted, and there was an assist from Ari Media.
No way, Ali Media, although it only obtained the North American distribution rights, it seems that the domestic box office has nothing to do with Ali Media.
No matter how good it is sold, Ari will not get a share of the profit.
But if Ari Media wants to make a film globalization strategy, it has to promote "Infernal Affairs" in the same way.
Therefore, the attention that "Infernal Affairs" has won is definitely not comparable to "Dark War".
In fact, when "Dark War" was released, there were still many opponents, but other films took the initiative to avoid the schedule of "Infernal Affairs".
No way, with the jade from "Dark War" in front, it shows that the combination of Cao Meng and Wang Yifan is very capable.
At the same time, this movie, whether it is Cao Meng or Wang Yifan, has high expectations when it is publicized.
For example, when Cao Meng was interviewed by the media.
When asked about the difference between "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War".
"The two movies can actually be said to be in the same line. They are both the story ideas proposed by Wang Yifan. The same is that they are both police and robbers confrontation. The difference is that "Dark War" is a confrontation between police and robbers. "Tao" is more obscure!"
"If "Dark War" is a sympathetic duel where every opponent will meet Liangcai, then "Infernal Affairs" is also the same. However, "Infernal Affairs" is more cruel and cruel."
"Which is better or worse depends on the audience, but as far as I am concerned, I put more energy into "Infernal Affairs" because this movie is not just a commercial movie. I am very interested in this movie. The movies have higher expectations!"
And Chen Qingyun and Chen Dahua, the two Hong Kong island actor and actress, also expressed their opinions when interviewed by the media.
Chen Qingyun: "He Shangsheng is a policeman, and so is Chen Yongren, but the difference is that He Shangsheng is upright, while Chen Yongren walks in perfection. He is an undercover. In one sentence, he is walking in the dark, but always To the light!"
"In terms of challenge, it is undoubtedly easier for He Shangsheng. He Shangsheng can be said to be a traditional police character in Laogang movies, but Chen Yongren is a role different from Laogang movies. This role, even if it is for For me, it is also a very big challenge."
""Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" seem to be very similar, but in my opinion, they are completely different, because "Dark War" actually always carries a sense of humor and lightness. This movie, As you can see, even if Huazai is gone in the end, the ending is still easy and pleasant!"
"But "Infernal Affairs" is different, this movie, it will make it difficult for you to relax!"
The same Chen Dahua also accepted the media interview.
"In "Dark War", I said I was a bandit, but in fact, I prefer to call it a thief, and there are ways to thieves.
"What he did was actually presumptuous before his death, and even so, he never really hurt anyone from start to finish! At most he was just helping the police bring criminals to justice!"
"But Liu Jianming in "Infernal Affairs" is different. His status is very special. He is a policeman. He seems to have good conditions and a promising future. He enjoys and cherishes this situation, but the facts are not. Allow him to have these."
"The complexity of this person is definitely not comparable to that of Hua Zi in "Dark War". For me, this character is really challenging!"
"From the perspective of movies, the two films are both wits and courage, more inclined to wits, but the wits in "Dark War" are easy, pleasant, master tricks, easy to use, and "Infernal Affairs" "Although the same is the battle of wits and courage, but it is obscure and gloomy, because if you are not careful, you will pay the price of life. The specifics will be known when you watch the movie. Anyway, this movie The movie will never let you down!"
Go to Wang Yifan's side.
"The "Infernal Affairs" is derived from the most of the eight hells in the "Nirvana Sutra". It is called the Infernal Hell, which means to suffer great suffering without interruption, so it has this meaning. "The Buddha said: Those who suffer from the Infernal Hell will never die, and longevity is infinite The catastrophe in hell"."
"Infernal Affairs", in my opinion, is actually a completely different type from "Dark War". "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be a man's romance, while "Infernal Affairs" has no romance at all. It only has faith and endless The land is suffering, but I believe that the two are equally exciting and will never disappoint the audience. For me, in reality, I prefer "Dark War" because "Dark War" is brighter, and "Infernal Affairs" "It's even darker!"
