【”Infernal Affairs” is a failed Chinese movie, the box office is not worthy of its name! 】
【”Infernal Affairs” won’t win by force, it won’t be recognized internationally…】
【…】
September 16th.
The news that “Infernal Affairs” broke 100 million has been swiped in the Chinese film circle.
As a domestic literary film, it is a literary film without special effects, and it is hard to resist the work of “Superman 2”. Since its release, “Infernal Affairs” has been attracting attention…
The 700 million Huaxia movie sounded very popular, but it did not cause much sensation. Even after the Venice International Film Awards Ceremony ended, some well-known Chinese filmmakers had disputes over the film’s box office data. and intense controversy.
“The movie “Infernal Affairs” is undeniable, it is a highly topical movie, but the 700 million box office… The box office is all donated, and the kindness of fans is consumed in the name of charity. Such a movie has appeal and cohesion. Isn’t it normal to resist “Superman 2″ hard… Breaking 700 million, isn’t it normal?”
“I don’t mean that Mr. Zhou Yang is wrong… I still stand in an extremely objective history and explain one fact, and I hope that the majority of movie fans can stand on a relatively objective stand to evaluate “Infernal Affairs” “The matter of breaking 700 million…”
The director, who has not appeared for a long time, has fallen into silence for a long time since the failure of “Tianji”.
Occasionally there is news, but also on major platforms, he speaks for his “Tianji”, criticizing many people in the current society for being too impetuous and unable to understand “art”.
People gradually became a little extreme. When faced with the ridicule of netizens, Chen Kai still maintained his old-fashioned attitude, claiming that someone started from “Tianji” and kept messing with him behind his back, in various ways. Throwing dirty water on him.
This time…
“Infernal Affairs” just lost in Venice, the director Chen Kai suddenly appeared in front of the media and made a lot of nonsense.
Noon on September 16th.
Chen Kai participated in the interview of the movie channel “Starlight Movie”. When facing reporters asking about the 700 million box office of “Infernal Affairs”, Chen Kai shook his head even more.
“What facilitator?”
“It’s just a bad start!”
“Film is the entertainment art of the whole people. It can be commercialized, which is normal, but it cannot be completely reduced to a puppet of commercial hype…”
“To be honest, I can’t watch “Infernal Affairs”, the whole process is a group of actors pretending to be awkward, Zhou Yang being handsome, pretending to be depressed, Liu Hua, the only acting online person, because of the script, the characters are very weak and can’t rise at all. At the level of performance, to be honest, the name is also strange, forcibly using the name “Infernal Affairs” to describe the police and bandit film, the whole process is not literary, not martial…”
“Film fans are attracted by gimmicks and good feelings to watch movies in the cinema… Seriously, what is the difference between this operation and the box office? It’s just a good name…”
“My foreign friends told me that “Infernal Affairs” is a joke for filmmakers in the superstructure…”
“I still hope that young filmmakers like Zhou Yang can sit down and make movies in a down-to-earth manner and don’t do these messy things…”
“…”
evening.
When “Starlight Movie” was broadcast on the movie channel, Chen Kai’s remarks instantly caused an uproar.
The netizens under the personal Weibo scolded countless, almost to turn Chen Kai’s Weibo upside down…
But even in this state, Xinghui’s boss Li Zhongjun still took a screenshot of Chen Kai’s remarks and posted a sentence on Weibo: “Sad… I feel sad for the current film industry.”
At 8 o’clock in the evening, Shen Jinsong, the vice president of the China Film Association, made a rare speech on Weibo: “Let me be fair, the failure of “Infernal Affairs” in Venice has nothing to do with the film itself. Director Chen Kai’s remarks are more extreme. In my opinion, the acting skills of the actors in “Infernal Affairs” in all aspects are quite online. There is nothing to blame. Of course, I really disagree with Director Zhou Yang and Zhou’s public donation hype for “Infernal Affairs”, he does It’s hype, if you have a good heart, you can donate secretly, don’t take the kindness of the fans and announce it on the Internet? To put it a bit harsher, this is indeed a bit of a watch and an archway…”
Zhang Changhe of Changhong Cinema Group: “The director of the “Superman” series, James Li, posted on Weibo yesterday saying that the Chinese filmmakers are crazy and will do whatever they can for the so-called victory. Maybe this is not Mr. Zhou Yang’s original intention, but it is absolutely It’s a shame to throw it overseas…”
…
Nine o’clock in the evening.
Chen Kai’s remarks were pushed to the hot search, and below the hot search, countless directors of the older generation stood up and spoke.
Everyone evaluates “Infernal Affairs” from an objective standpoint, and even the director directly evaluates Zhou Yang’s character, as if on this day, Zhou Yang’s “hypocrisy” mask was completely exposed.
Since Zhou Yang entered the Chinese film industry, Zhou Yang has never been under such terrifying siege, and he almost nailed Zhou Yang to the pillar of shame.
The Venice International Film Festival seems to be a fuse.
ignited the long-suffering Huaxia director circle, and provoked countless capital…
………………
“Aren’t they afraid…”
“What are you afraid of? Afraid of being liquidated? Even if Zhou Yang is really the son-in-law of some people, he will not directly intervene in this matter, let alone not now, and the power behind Chen Kai is not small. It’s all of them who have the final say… And this time it was obviously premeditated. Except for Zhou Yilin and Shen Changwei who kept silent, a large group of people came over to fight, and they liquidated, and they could make the entire Chinese film industry go away. Is it liquidation? The older generation of the Chinese film industry has all run away, who will make the movie? There are too many directors and young directors who have joined forces to attack Zhou Yang this time, and most of them are in the film industry…”
“Fuck, this wave of Zhou Yang can only suffer from a dumb loss?”
“It’s not enough to lose the dumb. In fact, everyone is just talking about it. It’s fun. It really makes them practically block Zhou Yang. They don’t have the ability… At most, the relevant departments will come forward and put this hot search. Put it down… Zhou Yang’s debut was too fast, and his achievements were too great, so he was envied by others… and the various behaviors this year really offended the capital…”
“There is always someone behind this incident, right?”
“There must be an ambassador. Haven’t you noticed that our company has a close relationship with Hollywood’s DV company recently? The “Man of Righteousness” project has been officially launched. The executives were afraid that when the promotion of “The Man of Righteousness” was launched, Zhou Yang would come to such a hand, so Suppressed in advance…”
“Shh, there’s someone here, don’t talk, it’s Director Jiang…”
“Director Jiang should be in high spirits now, I heard that “The Man of Righteousness” appointed him to shoot…”
“Didn’t he refuse? He wants to make “Painted Skin”…”
“How could I refuse? The investment in “The Man of Righteousness” is so great, and he is the first Chinese superhero. The filming of “The Man of Righteousness” is a real milestone movie…”
“But I heard that Director Cao has…”
“…”
Django returns to Starlight.
When I returned to Xinghui, I heard someone whispering about this matter.
I don’t know why, but Django, who saw Zhou Yang deflated on the Internet and was attacked by a group, didn’t feel very happy, but felt a sense of sadness that he couldn’t explain in his heart.
Sometimes people’s emotions are so strange.
At this moment, he recalled that he still hated Zhou Yang, and even after thinking of some things, he gritted his teeth, wishing to slap Zhou Yang’s skin and tendons, nailed it to a pillar of fire and burned him to death.
But on the other hand…
He also felt that without Zhou Yang, the Chinese film industry should be a backwater.
Maybe he can do something when Django takes over, but definitely not now.
Even he sometimes envied Zhou Yang, no matter what he did that was praised or scolded, Zhou Yang always stood on a position of absolute freedom.
And he…
“Mr. Li, the investment of 10 million is probably not enough… “Liao Zhai Huapi” is an oriental magic movie that needs a lot of special effects…”
He took the elevator to the top floor and knocked on the door of Li Zhongjun, who was in the office of Mr. Xinghui.
Li Zhongjun was posting something on Weibo, and when he saw Jiang Ge walking in, Li Zhongjun first smiled, then after hearing Jiang Ge’s answer, he frowned: “Little Jiang, you know , Now the company is busy with the movie “The Man of Righteousness”, in addition to this movie, there is also the main theme disaster movie “Nanjing”… The cost of these two films is very huge…”
“Isn’t it invested by investors? And the people from Changhong Cinemas…”
“Our company has also invested in some, and, Xiao Jiang, you know, Xinghui has deployed overseas and invested in several overseas films in recent years. Now the cost is huge, 10 million is already the limit that the company can spend… If it’s not enough, you can find an investor yourself?”
“The investment budget is 150 million. I have looked for a lot of investment. They are willing to spend 40 million, and there are nearly 110 million…” When Jiang Ge saw Li Zhongjun say this, he didn’t know it. What to say, he finally bowed his head.
“It’s not the company’s problem, it’s your problem, Xiao Jiang, who is also a young man. Why did Zhou Yang earn tens of millions of box office revenue with an investment of several hundred thousand? Why can’t you?”
“The times are different…”
“That’s not an excuse.”
“Mr. Li, if it’s convenient, can the special effects team of “The Man of Righteousness” help me with “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”? If they help, I can save at least 30 million, I can’t find a good special effect team…”
“You have to discuss this with Director Cao, aren’t you master and apprentice?”
“…”
Django leaves the office.
is not reconciled, and a little depressed.
【The same young man, why did Zhou Yang earn tens of millions at the box office when he invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, why can’t you? ].
The words kept ringing in his ears, but he didn’t feel angry or uncomfortable.
When answering Li Zhongjun, he said “the times are different”.
But when he was going out, he lowered his head and muttered to himself: “I’m just an ordinary person…”
After returning to his office, he called Cao Bangguo and told Cao Bangguo about the incident.
Cao Bangguo was silent for a while on the phone, and then sighed: “The cooperation project of “The Man of Righteousness” is in charge of Mr. Li’s niece Wu Tong, who is the matchmaker between DV and Xinghui, and “The Man of Righteousness” is the project She built it with her own hands, and now she’s going from behind the scenes to the front… I’m just assisting her, Xiao Jiang, this project was originally yours…”
“Then my “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”…”
“Zhou Yang can do it, why can’t you?”
“…”
…………
“Xu Chu, are you looking for me?”
“Your plan, I can’t pass it here…”
“Why? The China Youth Directors Association’s 500 million box office in the first half of the year has completely exceeded…” An Xiao frowned.
“I know the relationship between you and Zhou Yang, but we have to talk about many things according to the procedure, and you cancel all welfare benefits, this is too much of a relationship… Of course, you must do this, and I will give you approval, but, Be careful with everything…”
“Then give your approval.”
“you sure?”
“Approval!”
“okay!”
