The next day, the entertainment pages of the major newspapers in Xiangjiang were all swiped by "Infernal Affairs", and Lin Cheng's "Daily Express" published the entire poster of "Infernal Affairs" on the front page, and gave it a four-character evaluation: A work to save the city!

Senior film critic and writer He Chen even published a 5,000-word long article in the entertainment section, singing praises for "Infernal Affairs".

In his long commentary entitled "Infernal and Tao", he wrote: The nineteenth volume of the "Nirvana Sutra": "The most important of the eight hells, called the Infernal Hell, is the meaning of suffering without interruption, hence this name. ”

As soon as the elevator door opened and closed, Chen Yongren's body was clamped, the blood stains on the ground slowly dispersed, looking at the muzzles of the black holes around him, Liu Jianming understood that everything was over.

Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming are not Buddhas, they are just human beings, ordinary people, one is an elite in the police circles, and the other is a leader in a gang. They are so good, so good that when they are still teenagers, they are almost doomed to the tragedy of their lives.

Undercover is probably the most shady profession in the world, and being an undercover agent means that you can only be a "two-faced person", always on guard, and can only do some sneaky things.

Like Chen Yongren, except for his top boss, no one knows his true identity, even his girlfriend left him as a villain, all his archives are only in the hands of his boss alone, for him, he has almost no real life of his own, he can only appear in the world as another person, and hide his true self

Chen Yongren has done a very successful job, but this success is misplaced, when a "soldier" is a good "thief", the more successful it means that he is trapped, and the more successful he is, it means that he is getting farther and farther away from his true self.

And Liu Jianming, he wants to go ashore to be a good policeman, and he doesn't want to go back to the past, and his gang background makes him want to stop. With the covert support of the gang, Liu Jianming cracked one case after another, achieved success after success, and was like a rising star in the police circle.

But with the passage of time, Liu Jianming has changed, and the thriving police future has made him tired of everything in the gang, and when Liu Jianming examines his future again, he suddenly finds that the gang background is no longer his booster, but the biggest hidden danger in his life.

However, for Liu Jianming, gangs are the backers and foundations of his rise, without gangs, there would be no Liu Jianming today, severing ties with gangs, he will also face a huge danger of backlash.

Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, one wants to be their true selves, and the other wants to say goodbye to their past selves, for them, the biggest pain is not being able to become a unified person.

As an undercover agent, it is natural that they are "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", but people are not grass and trees, and if they have stayed in Cao Ying for a long time, they will inevitably have some feelings for it.

Chen Yongren was so careless that he almost showed his feet, but it was the gang's stupid gang who hid it for him and saved his life. There are many brothers in the gang who share his life and death, and his own job is to betray them behind his back, and Liu Jianming, who is undercover in the police force, also suffers from this torment.

If you don't go to hell, who will?

As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, since you have been an undercover agent, you have to bear it, and the days of being an undercover agent are as dark and boundless as infernal hell, and if you want to escape, you must pay a great price.

Chen Yongren sacrificed his life, Liu Jianming gave up his conscience, and finally sank in this eternal infernal hell.

……

In addition to He Chen, senior film critics under the major media in Xiangjiang have shown their best literary skills, and the movie Amway's "Infernal Affairs" has been widely published in newspapers and magazines, which has simply praised "Infernal Affairs" to the extent that there is nothing in the sky and no in the ground.

And the last time I met film critics all singing praises for a movie was back ten years ago when "The True Color of Heroes" was just released.

Lin Cheng was about to laugh out loud when he watched the major media and newspapers in Xiangjiang pursue him and "Infernal Affairs", and in order to be more comfortable to hear the praise of film critics, he also specially instructed the new secretary Xiaomei to read the report about "Infernal Affairs" for him.

Xiaomei extracted all the newspaper comments on praising Lin Cheng and "Infernal Affairs", sat opposite Lin Cheng in a precarious position, and read aloud in a pleasant voice: "When we questioned and even criticized the director of "Infernal Affairs" Lin Cheng only directed a commercial film and could not control the big production of "Infernal Affairs" with an investment of more than 30 million, director Lin Cheng taught us a lesson: The capable can do anything! On the first day of the release of "Infernal Affairs", thousands of people in Xiangjiang were empty, and almost everyone poured into the various screenings. The movie theater of "Infernal Affairs" is frantically rushing for movie tickets for "Infernal Affairs"!"

Lin Cheng smacked his lips when he heard this, and said modestly: "It's too much to praise, too much to praise, in fact, I'm not that great, it's just talent." ”

Xiaomei glanced at Lin Cheng unscrupulably, and continued to read aloud: "We need to thank Director Lin Cheng, he opened up a new genre of police and gangster films for our Xiangjiang films, and fed a large number of filmmakers in Xiangjiang, with the appearance of "Infernal Affairs", Xiangjiang movies have changed from a death penalty to a reprieve, whether Xiangjiang movies can still live from death in the future, director Lin Cheng and his Flying Eagle Entertainment are very important!"

Lin Cheng was deeply intoxicated, but his mouth said modestly: "This is to regard me Lin as the savior of Xiangjiang movies!

Xiaomei glanced at Lin Cheng again, picked up a newspaper and read aloud: "From a genius financial blocker, to a best-selling author, to an outstanding film director, Wonder Boy can do anything, how many surprises will it bring us in the future......"

Lin Cheng smiled while listening: "You mortals don't understand the world of genius, and I will continue to shock you in the future, you will be shocked, you will be used to it." ”

Xiaomei read aloud the comments of major newspapers praising Lin Cheng, but she was complaining frantically in her heart: "How can there be such a brazen person in this world? God, please take this demon away!"

Fortunately, at this time, Li Wenqing, the manager of New Oriental Cinema Line, knocked on the door and came in, and rescued Xiaomei who was in endless embarrassment, he took a few forms that still exuded the smell of printing ink, and excitedly wanted to report to Lin Cheng the box office data and attendance of "Infernal Affairs".

"You take a breath and sit down. Lin Cheng looked at Li Wenqing's anxious appearance, and hurriedly asked him to slow down and sit down.

Li Wenqing sat down and said excitedly: "Lin Sheng, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" yesterday has been counted, according to the summary of the major theaters, as well as the summary sent by the three major theater companies of Jiale, Xinbao, and Jinsheng, yesterday's "Infernal Affairs" was full of all the products, with an attendance rate of 98 percent, and a box office of 3.16 million yuan on the premiere day, accounting for 80 percent of the total box office in Xiangjiang yesterday, directly breaking the box office record on the premiere day of the Xiangjiang movie!"

The box office on the premiere day was 3.16 million, which is already a huge miracle in Li Wenqing's opinion, but Lin Cheng has crossed over in 2017, and he has long been accustomed to the situation that the box office of blockbusters often premieres over 100 million, and suddenly heard that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" on the premiere day was only 3.16 million, which couldn't make him excited at all.

He just said lightly: "What is the audience's reputation, is there more praise or criticism?"

Li Wenqing looked at Lin Cheng so calmly, his mood began to calm down, and he couldn't help but scold himself secretly, he was a lot older, but he was not as young and mature and stable as Lin Cheng.

Li Wenqing said with a smile: "I have already done questionnaire surveys in several relatively large movie theaters, and the audience who rated the movie A+ accounted for 37 percent, rated A accounted for 53 percent, rated A- 8 percent, and the other 2 percent rated B. ”

Lin Cheng said happily: "Okay, the reputation is so great, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" will definitely continue yesterday's hot trend for a period of time in the future, this is really worth being happy about, let's announce this result, so that the employees of the theater company and Flying Eagle Entertainment are also happy." ”

Li Wenqing hurriedly responded: "Yes Lin Sheng, I will immediately arrange for the staff to send a press release to announce the good news of our box office explosion to the world." ”

Lin Cheng smiled: "Go ahead!"

……

"Yay, hooray!"

Not long after Li Wenqing went out, there were deafening cheers in the office building, obviously the company's employees already knew the hot box office results of "Infernal Affairs", and they all cheered, Lin Cheng listened to the cheers outside, and laughed unconsciously, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, for a movie, box office results are the last word!

After the box office results and attendance rate of "Infernal Affairs" came out, the film scheduling rate of "Infernal Affairs" continued to increase by major theaters in Xiangjiang.

Yesterday, the four major cinemas in Xiangjiang gave "Infernal Affairs" a comprehensive scheduling rate of 65 percent, and "Infernal Affairs" accounted for 80 percent of the total box office results of the day, it is obvious that the box office potential of "Infernal Affairs" has not been fully released, and many audiences complained that the theater could not buy tickets.

Cinema companies are for-profit organizations rather than charities, and in recent years, the flood of pirated DVDs in Hong Kong and the prevalence of bad movies have caused the film market to plummet, and they rarely encounter a few box office explosions like "Infernal Affairs" in a year, so they naturally have to give "Infernal Affairs" the green light, reduce the schedule of other films, and make way for "Infernal Affairs".

As a result, movies such as "Half Life", "Falling in Love with a 100% Hero", and "Pride Covering the Sky" that collided with "Infernal Affairs" during the period have all become victims, and under the pressure of "Infernal Affairs", no movie has more than 10% of the film schedule, and the schedule rate of "Infernal Affairs" on the second day is as high as 73%.
