In March, the filming of "Infernal Affairs" entered the middle and late stages, and the whole crew adhered to the spirit of unity, tension, seriousness, and liveliness.

With the increase in filming scenes, the clever man has shown that this movie has very good box office potential, and different news during the filming can greatly increase attention, not to mention whether it is good or bad, and now you can often see the paparazzi outside the set.

As for the unwitting people, they have also become more attentive under the reminder of the clever people, and as long as they pay attention, the current situation of "Infernal Affairs" can be easily analyzed.

There are roughly three types of news about the crew on the Internet and in the media, Zhang Zhonghui's fans' expectations for the comeback of idols, the attention brought by the songs of the two singers, and the gossip about the relationship between director Gan Jing and female singers.

It is observed that the popularity of the songs "Hills" and "Blue and White Porcelain" in these three categories will overwhelm the expectations of Zhang Zhonghui's fans, and in the foreseeable time, the popularity of the former seems to be higher and higher with the spread of the songs.

You must know that Zhang Zhonghui's fan group itself is a very solid foundation, but whenever the quality of the film is not so bad, there will always be fans who are willing to take a look at the new work of the actor who took a year off due to a car accident.

Putting aside these external factors, internally, almost every few days after the movie was filmed, there is a scene worthy of the crew's talk up and down, either Zhang Zhonghui, or 6 Wei, or Gan Jing, or Ma Hammer.

Of course, Ma Hammer's brilliant shots are generally carefully tuned by Director Gan, which also confirms his skills in performance.

This kind of experience that can make the crew members feel excited when they look at the fragmented footage is something that many people have never had, and those who have had this experience can vaguely remember only one taste, which is champagne, cheers, red envelopes, and the pride of seeing their name on the staff after the movie.

When a movie has popularity, quality, and big coffee, how can it lose?

Even, several scenes of the crew have privately bet on how much box office the movie can get.

So......

When Gan Jing casually chatted about the follow-up plan while eating a boxed lunch at noon at the end of March, and mentioned that he did not plan to participate in the announcement, he inexplicably began to receive persuasion from the crew members.

"Director Gan, you are the director, how can you not participate in the announcement? ”

- I am the largest investor.

"Director, director, there will be a lot of fans when our movie is announced. ”

- I don't have a shortage of fan girls.

"Director, you're my dad!"

- I have a daughter.

Gan Jingzhen felt very strange, and once felt that it was because he didn't insist on the fine near the end of the filming that made this group of people itch again?

However, these are all trivial things, with the completion of the actors' roles one by one, Beijing Blu-ray and Hong Kong Oriental and Shancheng Culture began to consider the announcement and release of the film, according to the current situation, it must be possible to complete the whole play in April, and the next step is to edit, determine the version, submit it for review, and it's okay.

The editing of this part of Gan Jing made it clear that he was in control before the formation of the play, and the three companies got the news that Director Gan confirmed that it was reserved for a month, that is, in May, the released version could almost be sent for review.

If it goes well, you can choose the release schedule after the review in May, well, you can have about 2 months of publicity time when the iron is hot, that is, you can pick a date to release it from August onwards.

Hong Kong Oriental Film and Television and Shancheng Culture tend to be relatively flat in August and September, trying to seek stability, but Zhang Zhonghui's team gave a strong suggestion, they very much want to be released at this point in time during the National Day schedule.

It stands to reason that Zhang Zhonghui is a leading actor who only gets paid, and he should not make suggestions on this kind of thing, but Zhang Zhonghui himself has a strong influence, and his popularity is the focus of Xuanzhong, and in addition, "Infernal Affairs" is likely to have a sequel, so the idea of starring must be considered.

The big schedule is good with the big schedule, and the small schedule has the wonder of the small schedule, but the former is risky, and the latter may lead to a lower box office.

In the end, the matter was discussed by several parties and handed to Gan Jing.

"August or January? ”

Gan Jing met people from all over the world in his room, including his own company, he got up and took a coin and put it on the table, and said slowly: "I heard that when you are hesitant, you just need to flip a coin, and you can know the decision you want in your heart before the coin falls." ”

The atmosphere in the room fell into stagnant embarrassment.

Gan Jing looked at his words and asked, "Eh, why are your expressions like this? Is this method too old?"

Zeng Yonghua, the producer of Hong Kong Oriental Film and Television, nodded helplessly: "I only used such a statement when I was picking up girls in college, which is a bit outdated and a bit child's play." ”

Gan Jing smiled a little embarrassedly, he put away the coin, and said thoughtfully: "That's it." Well, it's the National Day schedule. ”

Zeng Yonghua was half relieved when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the breath suddenly came up, and hurriedly said: "Director Gan, think about it again, there are several blockbusters in the National Day schedule that I know now, although August and September are not as good as the big schedules, but the box office is also good!"

Gan Jing spread his hands: "There must be a reason for choosing which schedule, otherwise you won't discuss it for a few days, don't you want to make a decision when you come to me to talk about this matter? ”

Zeng Yonghua smiled bitterly, you are really responsible!

Shancheng Culture has been a vice president Jiang Sheng in the past few days, he is not very familiar with Gan Jing's style of acting, and he is a little angry when he sees this kind of Yiyantang at this moment, but Zhang Zhonghui's agent immediately agreed.

Gan Jing made the final decision: "As the chairman of Beijing Blu-ray Culture, as a director, as a starring actor, and as the largest investor of "Infernal Affairs", I announce that on October 1st, it will be released in theaters. ”

This is very formal, and Hong Kong's Oriental and Shancheng cultures can only agree when they see this.

It's just that when he came out of the room, Jiang Sheng, vice president of Shancheng Culture, was a little dissatisfied: "This Gan Jing is so rash?

Zeng Yonghua was stunned for a moment when he heard this before he reacted, uh, it seems to be a bit of a word, hey, why didn't he feel this way just now.

"Director Gan is in the crew...... That's it. Zeng Yonghua pondered for a moment and said.

"How can this work?" Jiang Sheng said indignantly, however, he didn't get a response from the producer of the brother company after he finished speaking, and he couldn't help but glance at Zeng Yonghua.

Zeng Yonghua "coughed" and reacted: "I think it's okay, so be it." Anyway, the quality of the movie is good, but it's not certain who is the blockbuster. ”

Jiang Sheng was stunned.
