Chapter 891: Revisited
"The treble is sweet, the middle pitch is accurate, the bass is deep, in a word, it is transparent!"
"Who brought the call of the ancients...... Who sent you to me...... Who is whispering in your ear......"
"I'm sorry, I'm a police officer!"
In a theater in Hong Kong, "Infernal Affairs" premiered.
When the film ended, the audience spontaneously burst into applause, and now it is rare to see a star-studded, high-quality, and innovative Hong Kong-style movie.
Lao Song personally sat in the town and led Andy, Xueyou, Leung Ka-fai, Ren Dahua, Zha Zahui, and Louis Koo to attend.
The audience is excited, the media is also excited, as early as two years ago, the annual production of Hong Kong films dropped to less than 100.
"Xueyou, how about the box office?"
"I know it seems to be three films, "Infernal Affairs", "Hero" and "Golden Rooster", uh, I think it adds up to 80 million. ”
"Andy?
"It's hard to say, his estimate is relatively high, and it is ideal for "Infernal Affairs" to break through 20 million. ”
"Where's Mr. Song?"
"They are too bold, at least more than 50 million!"
Lao Song waved his hand and swore an oath: "It's not that no one watches Hong Kong films, everyone still likes good movies, and there are no 50 million films of this level, so Hong Kong films are really over." ”
The reporter asked again: "Now Hong Kong films are pessimistic, you said before that you must save the market, but can you save the market with just a few movies?"
"Of course not, Hong Kong is too small, and it has lost the foreign market, in fact, the overall quality has not declined, but there is no way out.
The top priority is to find a broad and stable market. ”
"You mean the mainland?"
"Well, I didn't say anything, but I remind you to be prepared. I don't know if you read the current political news, but if you do, you will understand what I say. ”
"Infernal Affairs" quickly set off a boom, and the main creator began to promote it in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
"Hong Kong's first-day box office was 2.57 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has broken through the 10 million mark in four days of release, and is expected to compete with last year's box office champion "Shaolin Football". ”
"It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and "Infernal Affairs" has been praised by all parties, and the disc has quietly appeared in the mainland market. ”
Jackie Chan said that there was an opportunity to shoot a sequel. ”
"China Film said? There is no subject matter in the film? Negotiations are still under way on the main release.
The schedule in the mainland has been full in the near future? Another annual blockbuster "Hero" is coming, and "Infernal Affairs" wants to be approved for release, as early as March next year. ”
In fact, when "Infernal Affairs" first came out, China Film did not take a fancy to the audio-visual copyright, and was leaked by audio-visual dealers in Guangdong Province, and the discs were overwhelmingly profitable.
Later, China Film thought that the market would be affected, so it was not introduced.
And later? The second and third parts were to be introduced, and for the sake of consistency, it was decided to introduce the first part.
Dismal at the box office? And the ending has been modified, and the original Andy continues to be a policeman? The modified version of Andy was caught.
"Infernal Affairs" is known as the last glory of Hong Kong films, although some new filmmakers have emerged later, filming "Zombie", "Lao Li", "Cold War", etc.? But the glory is long gone? Annihilation in the changing times.
............
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Oops, here and here!"
After the snow? The Grand View Garden is covered in silver? No tourists in sight. Only a few old aunts in their thirties are showcasing? Make a barbell-like laugh.
"Zhi Qingfen. ”
A few people entered the main house of the Wuyuan, and they felt strange at first, but after looking at it, they remembered it.
Zhang Li sitting on a small round stool? A serious one: "Feng'er, you kneel, I will judge you!"
"Phew!"
Xiao Xu smacked.
Hu Zehong, who was short and round, walked around, pointed to the statues of Baochai and Aunt Xue on the kang in the inner house, and shouted, "Mom, this is too ugly!"
"Hey, I remember that I wasn't so ugly back then!" Deng Jie also called.
"It's been so many years, and it's been several layers of ash. Shen Lin said with a smile.
Zhang Li and Xiao Xu also came to take a look, and they were even more disgusted: "Let's go, let's go and see elsewhere!"
After deciding to have a big party next year, I inquired about the crew of the year, and the relationship between several people in the capital was already good, so I made an appointment to visit it today.
Two minutes after they left, Teacher Xu and Wu Xiaodong came over.
Wu Xiaodong was holding an eight- or nine-year-old daughter, Teacher Xu was pushing a stroller, the lazy little tiger was lying inside, and the diligent little dragon was walking by himself.
Xiao Xu helped Shen Lin find a job and was able to stay in the capital, and the two soon got married and had children.
Wu is in the National Theater, as a director, as an actor, and has always been filming, but he is not popular. The most famous role is Sun 100,000 in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Hu Zehong opened a restaurant and a company, and his life was good.
Xu Fei parked the stroller at the door and took a look at the house with Xiaohu in his arms. The little dragon ran inside, and was frightened back with a bang, crying, "Ghost!
"Where the hell came from?"
When I went in and took a look at the statue, I was amazed.
The facial features are abstract, the material is rough, and it can be said that the shape and spirit are all bad, and there is no sense of beauty.
"I remember that not long after the opening of the Grand View Garden, I made these statues, and the craftsmanship was not very good at that time. But if you don't make a new one after so many years, you really shouldn't. ”
Wu Xiaodong said with a smile.
"The money is all earned, who cares if you don't fix it?"
Xiaolong was still crying, Xu Fei pulled his daughter and coaxed: "This is not a ghost, it's your godmother." ”
Then he pointed to his son, "This is your mother." ”
"Wow!"
Xiaohu also cried.
"I have to donate a batch of new ones to Daguanyuan, the children who came for the first time, seeing such Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu like this, it is simply a mistake!"
After staying for a while, he came out and continued to follow the women in front of him.
They are energetic, just like shopping, and they have to take photos for half an hour everywhere they go.
Walk from the west, pass the Qinfang Pavilion to Yihong Courtyard, and then gather Cui Nunnery, Daguan Building, Wuyuan, Daoxiang Village, and go around from the east side.
Xu Fei saw it all the way, but he felt a little dilapidated, and he seemed to be too lazy to take care of it. After the heavy snowfall, the red walls and gray tiles, dead trees and withered grass, there is a sense of depression more and more.
kept shopping, but in the end I really didn't want to leave, a few women ran to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and he and Wu Xiaodong looked for a place to rest.
Xiaolong Pia was in his father's arms, his voice was bright and crisp, and his words were slurred: "Aren't we going in?"
"Aren't you tired too?"
"Why didn't Mom ignore you today?"
"People have girlfriends, that is, you go to kindergarten and make friends with other girls, you call them girlfriends. ”
“......”
My daughter doesn't understand much, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, she still beats her brother happily.
"Beep beep!"
Wu Xiaodong handed over a cigarette, Xu Fei waved his hand, took out his mobile phone and answered a call, Lao Song called.
"I listened to the letter, and next year I will talk to Hong Kong about economic and trade issues, and I don't know if there is a movie. You look at the situation, wait for the opportunity to move. ”
"Can "Infernal Affairs" be introduced?"
"Enough. But it doesn't matter, wait until next year, you can make a sequel. ”
As soon as I hung up, another one came and asked about "Heroes".
Wu Xiaodong smoked a cigarette by himself, watched him call, and said with a smile: "Sometimes it's not that I don't want to party with you, but I just muttered in my heart, they are all so big and busy, how can they have the time to meet the poor neighbors?"
"Don't talk about calves! It's really busy, and it's easy to ignore a lot of things, but if you form a game, we can definitely go. Now that I'm getting older, I'm running for four, and I'm slowly letting go of work, and I still rely on these old friends.
The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old......"
"Why are you sitting here, isn't it cold?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Chatting and chatting, several women finally came out.
Zhang Li drove a car and pulled Xiao Xu, Deng Jie, and Hu Zehong. Wu Xiaodong drove one, a family of three.
Teacher Xu drove one and took the two children by himself.
When they were about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Eat hot pot!"
“......”
He got into the car, rubbed his hands together, and started the ignition.
Xiaolong suddenly said: "Baba, you are so pitiful!"
"Huh?"
"Moms don't want you!"
"Yes, yes, so when you two grow up, you must remember your old father's efforts. ”
"Uh-huh!"
Xiaolong nodded vigorously, and Xiaohu also moved unprecedentedly, kowtowing his head to face.
