449 "Infernal Affairs" Hot Premiere!
""I Am Not the God of Medicine" swept seven nominations at the Beijing Film Festival, locking in the biggest winner of this year's Beijing Film Festival in advance!"
Wei Xun is expected to win the Grand Slam three times and become the first Chinese film actor to win the Grand Slam before the age of 30. ”
""Infernal Affairs" is set for 11.14, and the proportion of films scheduled has reached an astonishing 64%. ”
"Wei Xun Chitang returned from his honeymoon to prepare for the release of "Infernal Affairs", and the film gave up pre-sales and screenings and was released directly in theaters, which also shows that Medal Media has strong confidence in its box office. ”
Zeng Wei and Chen Qiuheng, two veteran actors in Hong Kong, set off to South Korea, Japan, Thailand and other countries to promote "Infernal Affairs", and fans greeted them warmly everywhere they went. ”
As the first film to be released simultaneously in Asia in China, "Infernal Affairs" can be said to have attracted much attention.
Thirty years ago, when Xiangjiang movies were popular all over Asia, Chen Qiuheng and Zeng Wei, two popular movie strength students, were very famous in the entertainment circles of Asian countries.
Although he is old now, there are still a group of nostalgic fans who are willing to follow, so the matter of "Infernal Affairs" going to various countries to run publicity is handed over to these two veteran actors.
And Wei Xun and Bai Qianqi are responsible for the promotion in China.
Of course, in fact, this "Infernal Affairs" in China now does not need to rely on actors to run for publicity and distribution, because November is a small period of movies, and it is a movie starring Wei Xun, and 64% of the film schedule was directly torn out in theaters when it was released.
The Panda ticket, which has been on the market for half a year, is currently developing rapidly, and the publicity launched by the online ticketing software is enough to show the publicity effect of the bombardment in turn in the information age.
Basically, as long as you have bought tickets on the Panda ticket registration register, then you will definitely receive a push notification of the release of "Infernal Affairs".
Social networking sites like Express are even more under the control of the Medal Media Department, as if they don't need money to smash advertisements, such overwhelming marketing, and even give many viewers the illusion that the Spring Festival is coming early.
It's so big, it's staggering.
It was in such an exaggerated announcement that the time quietly came to 11.13.
The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" will be held at 8 p.m. at the Jingshi Medal Theater, and the next day, it will be screened simultaneously across Asia.
Wei Xun, Bai Qianqi, Zeng Wei, and Chen Qiuheng appeared on the red carpet.
In addition, dozens of film critics, film festival judges, and editors-in-chief of relevant industry magazines were invited today.
Of course, the most eye-catching is the thin and very kind-looking white old man standing between Wei Xun and Bai Qianchi.
His name is Jean Besson, the president of the jury of next year's Cannes Film Festival, and judging from the surrounding media and the fiery eyes of the invited guests, it is clear that this old man is the object of everyone's interest today.
It's just that Jean-Besson seems to have been chatting happily with Wei Xun all the time, and he has no time to take care of other people.
Netizens who watched the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet frantically swiped the screen in the real-time barrage live broadcast room.
"It seems that there are still works to gain the respect of others, Jean-Besson is not a good-natured person, and he is also a well-known 'iron mouth' in France, and now he chats with Director Wei quite freely. ”
"I've heard that Jean Besson is a fan of Saw Horror. ”
"Hahaha, so it's really amazing, a few days ago, Mr. Zhou He didn't secretly show off in front of the media, and recommended Liu Qiren's "Going to the Countryside" to Jean Besson. As a result, as soon as he turned around, Director Wei directly invited Jean-Besson. ”
""Saw Horror" is really good, not only Jean Besson, but many Hollywood first-line directors have endorsed this movie. However, I still care more about the reputation of "Infernal Affairs", fortunately, I can see it tomorrow, looking forward to it. ”
Traditionally, the first half of the premiere is the time for media interviews, and the media are not allowed to enter the second half of the movie.
On the makeshift interview desk outside the theater, after answering some questions from the media, Wei Xun and Jean-Besson walked towards the theater together.
This old French man is almost seventy years old this year, not only has a tough body, but also a talkative person, and is even a fan of horror movies, and is also a fan of "Saw".
So after meeting Wei Xun, the two chatted happily.
"So, maybe I'll be able to see the second part of "Saw" next year, the screenwriter or you?"
Receiving Wei Xun's affirmative answer, Jean-Besson did not hide his pleasure at all: "Oh, that's really exciting, but now I have to go and see "Infernal Affairs" first." But I have to say in advance that if the quality of this film is not up to standard, I will not favor you because of "Saw". ”
Kang Cheng has arrived in Hollywood, and the filming of "Saw 2" can be put on the agenda soon.
Wei Xun smiled when he heard this, and said, "Then you have to read it before you can decide." ”
Jean-Besson also laughed: "Wei, I like your confidence. ”
At this moment, many people in the cinema have already taken their seats.
Not long after Wei Xun and Jean Besson entered the theater, "Infernal Affairs" officially began broadcasting.
Because Jean Besson is there, this version, which premiered today, also has French subtitles.
Of course, it is not all for the convenience of Jean-Besson, after all, this is a film to be submitted to Cannes, and "Infernal Affairs" will have to be released in France at that time, so it is also essential to make French subtitles in advance.
As the lights in the cinema dimmed, subtitles began to appear on the big screen.
Male lead writer/director: Wei Xun.
Self-written, directed, and acted, such things are common in Wei Xun's films, and the Chinese film critics present are also accustomed to it, but Jean-Besson raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
Soon, though, Jean-Besson was no longer surprised.
Because the story officially begins.
In the first few minutes of the scene, the grievances between the triad and the police were introduced, and the two sides each selected their own people to go undercover to each other.
Then the camera turned, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, who were both undercover agents, met in a record store.
Liu Jianming played by Bai Qianqi is okay, because he is a police officer, so he is very thoughtful in terms of appearance and temperament.
But Chen Yongren played by Wei Xun has a scruffy beard, long hair is also slightly greasy, and the whole person has indescribable fatigue and depression, especially his moist and deep eyes, which make people can't help but want to sink into it at a glance.
It's a pair of eyes with a story.
Jean-Besson exclaimed in his heart.
True film masters understand that as a window to the soul, the eyes convey emotions, which is very important for film actors.
And Wei Xun's appearance after only a few minutes is enough to amaze Jean-Besson.
was also amazed, as well as film critics such as Song Ziwen.
Especially Song Ziwen, he can be said to have watched Wei Xun grow up slowly over the years, Cheng Yong in "God of Medicine" last year was enough for Song Ziwen to feel amazed, and today when he saw Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs", a voice sounded in Song Ziwen's head.
This role is more charming than Cheng Yong.
And it was true, for the next hour and a half, the exclamations and admiration in the cinema did not stop.
