Chapter 293: Unconventional Plot (Plus Update, Ask for Subscription!)
The police handed over the matter of digging up the inner ghost to Liu Jianming, who was responsible for the follow-up plot.
At this time, although Liu Jianming had already revealed that he wanted to get rid of Han Chen's control, wake up, and be a good person, he had no choice but to be caught in the situation and couldn't extricate himself.
In the end, with his cooperation, Han Chen took the lead and intercepted Chen Yongren and Huang Zhicheng, who had a secret meeting on the rooftop.
In order to cover Chen Yongren, Huang Zhicheng was tortured by Han Chen's men, and then threw him down from the stairs and died on the spot!
And just before and after Huang Zhicheng's death, Han Chen secretly completed another drug deal.
This duel between good and evil, so far, it seems that Han Chen's side has won a big victory!
Liu Jianming didn't expect that Han Chen was so ruthless that he dared to kill the police, Huang Zhicheng's death became the last straw that contributed to his psychological change, he contacted Chen Yongren through the phone left by Huang Zhicheng, and the two worked together to force the complacent Han Chen into a desperate situation.
Then, Liu Jianming took matters into his own hands and shot Han Chen to death, trying to say goodbye to his hidden identity in this decisive way, and live under the sun from now on and be a good person.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Yongren returned to the police station and asked to restore his identity, he inadvertently discovered Liu Jianming's secret and knew that he was the spy sent by Han Chen to the police force, which made the plot of the movie take a sharp turn for the worse, and the two male protagonists began to fight each other.
After a classic rooftop showdown, the most unexpected thing happened to the audience, Chen Yongren actually died!
was killed by another spy sent to the police force by Han Chen!
This "Infernal Affairs", in terms of plot setting, there are so many unconventional places, not only did the underworld send undercover agents to the police force, but also filmed the male protagonist to death!
Not only ordinary movie fans, when they saw this, they were shocked, and even professional film critics were surprised and amazed by the handling of this scene.
No wonder this main creator is a film of locals in Longguo, and he wants to put the background of the story in Xiangjiang!
Although the film censorship system of the Dragon Kingdom has been relaxed year by year, it is much more difficult to pass the review if the story background is placed in the mainland.
Film critics also saw this, and really understood the true meaning of the title of this movie "Infernal Affairs"!
In connection with the description of "Infernal Hell" in the scriptures, Chen Yongren was shot to death at this time, which can be explained.
For people like Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, who are in the "Infernal Hell", death is actually a relief!
Although Liu Jianming survived, he had to endure torture all the time in his heart, and life was better than death, just like the scriptures said, "Eternal life and immortality are great calamities"!
According to the critics' point of view, it is most appropriate for the film to end here, but in order to take into account the feelings of ordinary fans, at the end of the movie, the plot of Chen Yongren's restoration of identity is added, so that Chen Yongren can rest in peace.
At the end of the movie, the subtitles were turned up, and the audience's emotions were still immersed in the plot.
After a while, under the reminder of the host Xiao Xiang, the audience at the premiere reacted and gave the warmest applause and cheers for this wonderful movie.
Zhao Zhenghao led the main creator of the crew to take the stage again and thank the audience for their support.
The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" ended successfully.
At the same time as the premiere was held, "Infernal Affairs" has been released in all theaters in the Dragon Kingdom, relying on Penguin Pictures' strong distribution capabilities, surrounded by a strong enemy, on the first day of release, grabbed 25% of the film scheduling rate.
Because the time when "Infernal Affairs" was released in theaters was at 8 o'clock in the evening, on September 29, most theaters only arranged three screenings for it, the last of which was still a midnight show, and after the movie was released, it was already one o'clock in the morning the next day.
However, Zhao Zhenghao's fans, as well as other enthusiastic fans attracted by the overwhelming publicity, still pushed the box office of "Infernal Affairs" to a high point of more than 100 million on the opening day, and gained a super high box office with a very small number of screenings, counterattacking all the way to the champion position of the single-day box office list!
According to the feedback from the theater chain, the number of screenings they arranged for "Infernal Affairs" could not meet the needs of enthusiastic fans at all, so that the broadcast of these screenings on the 29th was full, and the attendance rate was 100%!
The next day, "The Legend of the Gods" and "Castle in the Sky" also began to be released on a large scale, with an initial scheduling rate of more than 20%, which is comparable to "Infernal Affairs".
The top three compete and are evenly divided.
In the end, "Infernal Affairs" successfully defended its single-day box office with a single-day box office of 240 million, and the single-day box office of "Castle in the Sky" and "The Legend of the Gods" also exceeded 200 million, 220 million and 210 million respectively.
At this time, the first wave of film reviews and audience evaluations of these three films released in advance were all freshly released.
"Infernal Affairs" is on the three major film review websites, with a critic score of 9.1 and an audience score of 9.3, ranking first.
The critic's score of "The Legend of the Gods" is only 7.5 points, and the audience score is relatively better, reaching 8.4 points.
Since Zhao Zhenghao drew nourishment from the classical masterpiece "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" and made "A Chinese Ghost Story" with a box office of more than 5 billion, filmmakers in Dragon Kingdom no longer only locked on "Journey to the West", but broadened their horizons and included well-known classical masterpieces such as "Romance of the Gods", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "Sou Shen Ji" into the scope of development.
In the past two years, occasionally a film adapted from these classic classics of the Dragon Kingdom will be released, and it has achieved good box office results, and "The Legend of the Gods" was also launched in this trend.
The production company of "The Legend of the Gods" has great ambitions, and it is planning to arrange it into a series of movies and set up a project for filming, so it spent a lot of money to invite the most famous screenwriter in the industry to "The Legend of the Gods" and adapt the script; invited one of the most famous directors in the film industry of the Dragon Kingdom to direct, and also invited a number of powerful old drama bones and partners with many traffic Xiaosheng Xiaohua to participate in the performance.
With heavy investment, the quality of the finished film of "The Legend of the Gods" has reached the standard of one paragraph, although the plot has been adapted on the basis of the original work, but it is not outrageous and bloody, the story is told relatively completely and smoothly, the actors' acting skills are also online, and the special effects production has not lived up to its hundreds of millions of investment.
Generally speaking, "The Legend of the Gods" can be regarded as a sincere work, if it is placed in a schedule where there are no too strong opponents, not to mention the box office of 7 billion, 8 billion, and the difficulty of breaking through 5 billion is not very great.
