Chapter 907: .Infernal Affairs

The launch conference for the sequel of "Dark War" was quite successful. Although Chen Dahua retired, he was still the second of the four kings of Hong Kong Island.
In addition, Qin He and Duyou are also veteran directors and screenwriters.
Therefore, the media is still quite face-saving.
The atmosphere on site is also quite good.
Cao Meng and Wang Yifan also appeared on the platform, expressing their optimism.
Of course, the media is not a fool. Wang Yifan's sale of the sequel to Time Light and Shadow is not a secret at all, but the media does not know the exact amount.
"Director Wang, since you are so optimistic about the project of the sequel to "Dark War", why are you no longer a screenwriter this time in the "Dark War" sequel?" The reporter found Wang Yifan and asked.
"I'm too busy. "Crazy Max Fury Road" is in the late stage, and my next movie is also in preparation, so I don't have time at all." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Then Director Wang will continue to invest in the sequel of "Dark War"?" another reporter asked.
"Huaxin will become the co-publisher of the sequel of "Dark War", so if you are not optimistic, I don't think Huaxin will join the joint distribution, right?" Wang Yifan has long been used to such scenes.
Similarly, Cao Meng was besieged by many reporters.
"Director Cao, since you are optimistic about the "Dark War" sequel, why not continue to direct it?" Cao Meng platform also admitted that he was saying good things. After all, he is currently cooperating with Times Light and Shadow in the honeymoon period.
But in the same way, the fact that Cao Meng no longer directs the sequel to "Dark War" has also become a reason for reporters to question.
"I'm really optimistic about the sequel of "Dark War", but a film of "Dark War" has cost me a lot of energy. It can be said that if I shoot the sequel of "Dark War" in two years, I will definitely take over, but Now, I am older and my energy is not as good as before, so I don't want to make myself so tired, and compared to me, Director Qin He is better at big scenes, so he will be more suitable than me!" Said with a smile.
"Of course, there are ideas for new films, but for the time being, it is just an idea. If there is news, I will tell everyone!" Cao Meng said with a smile.
What you think in your heart and what you say to reporters are completely different things!
Cao Meng can be said to have earned both fame and fortune in the movie "Dark War". Not only does he get the director's remuneration, but he also participates in the sharing, although not too high!
...
After the launch conference for the sequel of "Dark War", Wang Yifan and Cao Meng made an appointment to continue talking about the previous topic!
"My idea is that there are still dual protagonists, but this time is different from "Undercover". This time, the identities of the police and the robbers are exchanged. The undercover police and the undercover clubs will meet their opponents. However, how to talk about this. The story, how to arrange this story, I haven't figured it out yet, what does Director Wang think?" Cao Meng asked.
Wang Yifan did not expect that Cao Meng had such an idea.
However, if you think about it carefully, Cao Meng is probably also inspired by "Dark War".
"Dark Combat" is a duel of police and robbers, a match between rivals, two protagonists!
So it is normal for him to continue to use the dual protagonist.
Wang Yifan can understand!
"It's okay to meet opponents, but Director Cao should know that if it is an undercover showdown, then it is impossible to make a slow and methodical style like "Undercover". This kind of movie must be black and white. The police undercover, if To become the protagonist, he must have a firm belief, and he is undercover in a society, in a criminal organization, and is always in danger of life. Therefore, the style of this film must be biased towards the dark. The undercover confrontation between him and the club in the police force will definitely not be a warm-hearted battle like "Dark War", but a life-and-death confrontation!" Wang Yifan said.
Cao Meng nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I think, but I am a little bit uncertain about this kind of movie. Will the market be willing to accept this type of movie? After all, dark-style police and criminal movies have market acceptance. It has always been a problem."
Wang Yifan nodded. What Cao Meng said is also true. In fact, dark movies generally become classics or hit the streets! No medium!
This kind of movie, you will find, either soaring into the sky, or falling into the sand.
There is no middle!
Throughout the history of film, even in previous lives, this kind of movies, "Infernal Affairs" and "Change Face" are all such movies, and the two movies have also become classics of this type.
But the others are almost invisible.
It's not that there is no, but they are all on the street.
"This kind of movie, the setting of the characters, especially the protagonist is definitely quite complicated..." Wang Yifan said.
Cao Meng nodded.
"So, I'm entangled and hesitating, how to unfold this story, how to position it, such a movie, but also need to consider the market, whether it can be accepted or not, Director Wang, you are an expert in this area, so I Sincerely hope that you can give me some suggestions!"
Wang Yifan thought for a while. In fact, looking at the movies on Hong Kong Island, I believe that many people will comment on it. Among the most classic and unforgettable Hong Kong movies, "Dark War" may be one of them, but it is definitely not the most difficult. Forgetful.
In Wang Yifan's mind, the pinnacle of Hong Kong Island police movies will always be "Infernal Affairs"!
Of course, it does not mean that other Hong Kong Island police films are not good, but "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be a truly different film from other Hong Kong Island police films.
This movie is actually in a dark and sad style, but this movie eventually became a classic.
And movies like "Infernal Affairs", to be honest, only the social background and environment like Hong Kong Island can appear. This kind of movie is definitely impossible in China.
The club sent an undercover police force, which is simply offline!
But on Hong Kong Island, this is really possible, and even in reality, it has indeed happened.
The leaked list of undercover agents on Hong Kong Island is also a real incident.
Therefore, someone once commented on "Infernal Affairs" in the past and said that "Infernal Affairs" has an obvious deficiency, that is, the two undercover characters are designed to correspond too much. In addition, exaggerating the black power is also an obvious problem in the film. If you look into it seriously, Hong Kong Island is not Colombia, and it is impossible for the traffickers in the play to have such great skills in reality.
But in fact, during the special period on Hong Kong Island, this is really possible, and it really has that great ability!
Of course, movies are always movies and movies are not reality, but based on reality, Wang Yifan is not worried about this.
"The Buddhist scriptures say that infinite is the most painful of the eight hells. The nineteenth volume of the "Nirvana Sutra" says: the most of the eight hells is called the infinite hell, which means that he will suffer great suffering without interruption. Immortality, longevity is the catastrophe in the infinite hell." Wang Yifan suddenly smiled and watched Cao Meng say such a sentence.
As a result, Cao Meng's eyes lit up when he heard this!
