Although "Infernal Affairs" is also huge, after all, Lin Xiao is really just a small character in the film industry, of course, no one will really ignore him.

However, compared with those veteran actors, it is still a lot worse.

"Infernal Affairs" can also be regarded as the first major production launched by Ling Xiao Pavilion.

Like those who have invested tens of millions, in the current film and television industry, they cannot be regarded as big productions at all, and even "Infernal Affairs" is only barely enough to reach the threshold of big productions.

For a film and television company, it is impossible to be small and big after all, and if you want to have high returns, you naturally need high investment.

Looking at those films that have received high box office, there are really only a few with small budgets.

Of course, domestic domestic productions are still a little worse than Hollywood.

At the press conference of "Infernal Affairs", Lin Xiao and others naturally attached great importance to it, after all, this is also the first big production of Ling Xiao Pavilion.

The press conference of "Infernal Affairs" was held in China, but all the magazines and media that could be called were invited to participate.

It is estimated that the investment will be 150 million, directed by the famous police film director Yang Hao, starring actor Wang Pengfei, popular star Lin Xiao, and many powerful actors joining, which can be regarded as creating a lot of momentum for "Infernal Affairs".

However, Lin Xiao didn't expect that the fiery publicity momentum of "Infernal Affairs" would encounter strong obstacles.

The promotion of a movie, from the establishment of the project, to the start-up, to the final release, may last as long as half a year to a year, or even two years.

And warm-up publicity is also particularly crucial for a movie.

Most of the time, everyone in the film and television industry will form a tacit understanding, and if it is a big production press conference, they will not choose the same time period.

Because in that case, it is easy to cause a diversion of heat, which is not a good thing for both parties.

However, the press conference of "Marginal Man" chose to fight against "Infernal Affairs".

Compared with "Infernal Affairs", which invested 150 million (actually 100 million), "Marginal Man" has a more huge momentum, with three major actors, two major actresses, and many star-studded stars, directed by Fan Wencheng, and has opened an investment budget of 400 million Chinese dollars, which can be said to beat "Infernal Affairs" in all aspects.

all of a sudden, it took away the huge momentum that "Infernal Affairs" had managed to create.

In addition, Fan Wencheng, the director of "Marginal Man", is the preferred director of "Infernal Affairs" before, and it is the showdown between the two major directors of police and gangster films, and the previous entanglement between Tianxing Film and Television, the investor of "Marginal Man", and Lin Xiao, etc., all make these two films be compared at once.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Marginal Man" chose to develop its development at the same time, which is obviously suppressing "Infernal Affairs".

And, if two films with similar themes are released at the same time, then this kind of gimmick, this kind of influence will undoubtedly be greater.

You must know that for the same type of film, many times, the audience of the movie-watching group is the same, and most audiences will only choose one movie to watch, which to a large extent, there is also a feeling of hurting the enemy and self-harming 800.

And at the press conference of "Marginal Man", he was naturally asked by the media about "Infernal Affairs".

The result is once again unexpected, this kind of film conference, generally speaking, if it involves other movies, it will generally not be answered, but this time, Fan Wencheng chose to respond positively.

"Director Fan, do you think "Infernal Affairs" can pose a threat to "Marginal People"?"

"It doesn't exist, although the two are the same type of films, but in terms of financial investment and casting, "Marginal People" and "Infernal Affairs" are not of the same grade, so the threat, perhaps, but it is harmless. ”

"Moreover, in the selection of actors, "Marginal People" chooses powerful and market-tested actors, and "Infernal Affairs" hehe!"

Fan Wencheng's reaction was also beyond Lin Xiao's expectations, or he never thought that Tianxing and Fan Wencheng would choose this way to suppress "Infernal Affairs".

The impact is not nothing, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it ultimately depends on the quality of the film.

Moreover, now it is just a start-up press conference, and there is still a long time before the release of the film, although it has had a certain impact on "Infernal Affairs", but it is only a little impact.

After all, although Tianxing's distribution channels, publicity, etc. are strong, "Infernal Affairs" is actually not bad, and even surpasses Tianxing in some aspects.

Because this time "Infernal Affairs" is not only the project of Lingxiao Pavilion, but also the two behemoths of Tianhua Group and ECCOM.

Therefore, in the end, who will kill the deer, in the end, we still have to watch the film, and Lin Xiao is naturally full of confidence in "Infernal Affairs".

is different from previous police and gangster films, "Infernal Affairs" basically has no hot fight scenes in the whole film, this is more of a film based on literary drama.

But it doesn't mean that this film is not exciting, on the contrary, the wonderful point of this film is more exciting than those police movies that purely rely on fighting to attract attention.

Interestingly, seeing that "Infernal Affairs" and "Marginal Man" have the meaning of-for-tat against Mai Mang, another film directed by a police film "The Outside Bureau", was not to be outdone, and after the press conference of "Infernal Affairs" and "Marginal Man", a grand press conference was also held.

Many people found out that the three films "Infernal Affairs", "Marginal People" and "Outside the Bureau" are all similar in genre, and the three directors are the best at this aspect.

Although the investment in "The Outsider" is not as strong as "The Marginal Man", it is also not to be underestimated, and the investment in "The Outsider" directed by Chen Mu is also as high as 200 million Chinese dollars, and the status of Xuanhuang Film and Television in the industry is also no less than that of Tianxing.

The pattern of the two strong has become a situation of three kingdoms, although "The Outside Bureau" is relatively speaking, it does not seem to be as obvious as the suppression of "Infernal Affairs" like "Marginal People", but because the project start-up time is similar, then if nothing else, it is very likely that it will not be the two powers competing for hegemony, but the three kingdoms.

This is not only a direct duel between the three major directors, but also a peak duel between several major actors, and it is also a competition between two traditional giants and emerging new forces in the film industry.

For a while, the media was particularly lively, and people from all walks of life analyzed the three movies, who had more advantages.

Someone else gave a vote, and as a result, "Marginal People" won in the end, and "Infernal Affairs" came in at the bottom.

Of course, these are not bad things for the three movies, in fact, on the side of "The Outside Bureau", Xuanhuang Film and Television and Lingxiao Pavilion have no grievances, but they are traditional film and television giants with Tianxing, so they are a lot dirty.

Therefore, "The Outsider" may not directly target "Infernal Affairs", but it is very likely to be related to "Marginal People".
