Chapter 246: Add another fire to this summer

(There are free tickets every day, and the work is selected every year, so I hope everyone can vote.) The readership group number is published in the top area of the book review. )

Whether it is original music or interludes, "Infernal Affairs: Ultimate Infernal" has been achieved to the extreme, and it is not inferior to the first part of the blockbuster zuò. Seeing this familiar picture, my heart gradually immersed in it.

Music, emotional lines should be matched with music that touches emotions. It's no secret that North American skyfall and Asian "forgotten time" are no secret. Since the release of Infernal Affairs last year, various secrets about the movie have been dismantled and analyzed countless times.

and the song "Goodbye Police, Goodbye", which never withers, has become a classic because of this movie. And this movie also adds countless brilliance because of these songs.

Film music is the most important language besides lines. Sometimes, even a good piece of film music often exceeds the meaning of the lines. Feelings that cannot be expressed in words are conveyed through music. Whether it's a big or small one, the power of music is impossible to ignore.

In "Friends of Gunners", Justin said something to the effect that "a boring movie ends with a saliva song that has nothing to do with the movie". This is a very ironic statement, and I only hope that all film musicians will encourage it.

The new characters are all show-stealing kings, and Li Ming and Chen Daoming are both very good. Li Ming feels a bit like Wu Zhenyu in the play, they all wear glasses, they speak very calmly, and their body language conveys "one qiē is under control", the only difference is that one is a policeman and the other is the underworld, and Wu's Sven is still a little charlatan.

Chen Daoming...... People can't find the words to describe him. Although there are five actors in the movie (Chen Tiandu is missing). But many viewers saw that everyone stood together, and only he was the most like the "emperor".

If he himself does not say that he is undercover. I'm afraid no one will think that he is a good person, although his facial features are upright to the point of charming, and he plays the boss - that is the real boss, restrained but ready to go, God knows how he behaves.

Chen Daoming, who was sitting in the premiere theater in the capital, also smiled slightly when he saw his watch. People are forced out. He was invited to play the big guy, and he had to be cheeky with Hong Kong actors, and he looked relaxed on the outside. In fact, I also worked hard in my heart.

Chen Yongren, played by Chen Tiandu in the previous part, has already hung up, which has brought tears to many fans. For the next movie, fans are most concerned about whether Chen Tiandu's role will appear again.

However, he made a few appearances. all bring unparalleled surprises to the audience. Although only a year has passed, the audience still feels extremely nostalgic when they see him again as a little ruffian hook girl. Chen Tiandu's performance is very in place, no wonder the Golden Globe Awards also nominated him for the best actor. It's a pity that there is not much room for the role to play, because Andy Lau is there. Andy Lau is the main character portrayed in "The Ultimate Infernal", with a split nerve?

This kind of plot that tests his acting skills the most has been made up to his head, and it is difficult not to steal the scene, and the more he goes to the back, the more powerful he grabs.

"I want to be a good person."

"I'm a cop!"

This sentence. Chen Yongren said, Liu Jianming also said. Heartless people. But the road is the same. Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren are two completely different individuals, but they are the same person.

In "Ultimate Infernal", Li Xiner faces her boyfriend and old love, facing two people, past and present, they say the same thing and have the same unspeakable secret. At this time, they are one, but they are far apart, and this is the real love triangle.

The lines are still concise and unassuming, but they do their best to express the speaker's thoughts and the director's intentions.

Many film critics can't help but wonder how seriously a script must be taken before it has lines that are closely connected to the plot but not pretentious at all? And how many writers know the truth of saying when it's time to speak and shutting up when it's not time to speak?

Thinking that Chen Tiandu regrettably missed the Best Screenplay Award at this year's Oscars, I still feel that it was a mistake in retrospect.

What is Movie? Cinema is a story that can be seen, from the human senses of hearing, sight, to the emotional touch of the heart. If a movie has no story, it's just a pile of waste paper and a waste of ink.

Hong Kong films waste too much film, manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Throughout Hong Kong films and even the entire Chinese film industry in the past few years, in addition to the banned films that cannot be screened in China, the literary films that are so clichéd that the audience does not want to watch them, or hell, the comedies of several Hong Kong teenage idols showing their faces, and the insincere works of elderly idols making money.

What a glorious achievement of the former Oriental Hollywood, now it is dying. And Chinese mainland has shrunk from tens of billions of box offices to more than one billion a year now, so declining, who is to blame?

This qiē that can be wasted, if it is to exchange for the two-part "Infernal Affairs", then the sacrifice and decadence of the previous qiē are worth it. With the meticulous plot and hidden deep meaning, it can be said that the script of this movie, even the punctuation marks are valuable.

In North American theaters, the audience was also intent, no one left the theater early, and even the effort to hold urine was greatly enhanced.

This "Godfather", which was evaluated by the media as the East, is really not called in vain.

While watching "Infernal Affairs", fragments of the "Godfather" trilogy also flashed in my mind continuously. For The Godfather, Infernal Affairs is a tribute, a tribute to an unsurpassable classic. "Infernal Affairs" is drinking water from the Hong Kong market, eating breakfast in Tsim Sha Tsui, and growing up under the gangster air in Hong Kong.

Whether it is "The Godfather" or "Infernal Affairs", only in a translucent society of gangsters can a work of art that complement it can be derived. "Infernal Affairs" is a microcosm of Hong Kong, a work of art that Chinese films cannot steal.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and Li Ming fell. Just like the moment when Chen Yongren fell in the upper part. The audience was shocked, "Wow, no, play again." ”

But I couldn't help but feel a burst of loss in my heart, what is a policeman for, and what he did before can't be worth the first shot. Another good cop. Just died.

Compared with the original "Infernal Affairs 3", Chen Tiandu's biggest change to the movie is to smooth out those flowery memories and interspersed plots. It is not necessary for the audience to go from the letter year to the change. to understand the movie.

Simple, straightforward, and from the beginning to the end, it tells a story that was not told in the first part. It turned out that they were not fighting alone, and there was a group of people behind them who were constantly acting for the anti-undercover agent.

After the movie ended, the matrix logo appeared on the big screen again, and the "skyfall" music sounded in the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, North America, and everyone stood up and applauded them. It's still a classic. Maybe there will be less surprise when watching the first part, but it expresses a different flavor and attracts different people to talk about it.

After the premiere. One thing that makes fans on both sides of the Pacific extremely concerned is the media evaluation.

Fans on the Internet communicated their feelings about watching "Infernal Affairs" for the first time, "If you haven't seen it, I'll build yì." Go to the cinema. It's worth a look. "Dig deeper into the proposition of 'I want to be a good person', explore the most fashionable schizophrenia at the moment, originally didn't have much hope for a sequel, but now I see a different brilliance. ”……

On the IMDB website, the voting score of "Infernal Affairs" is as high as 8.1 points, which is the level of TOP50. Although it is lower than the first part, it still represents the standard of the movie.

Because there is a gathering of popularity of the first part, this day is Friday. Although some viewers will be lost due to the first game of the NBA Finals in the evening, it is expected that the audience who will go to the movie. It's still in a constant stream.

The day after its release, most of the critics and fans gave "Infernal Affairs: Ultimate Infernal" a good review; Rotten Tomatoes has an 80% freshness rating for popular critics, 79% for well-known films, and 78% for audience liking.

The Los Angeles Times reported: "The impression of reflecting the changing characteristics of the times is becoming more and more profound, and the narrative style is the same as the previous one, which is always unexpected and high-rise." It's no surprise to hear that the movie was shot in two together, but it's just a typical Christmas style, and it's still fascinating. ”

The Hollywood Observer reported: "Christmas Chan clearly expands on a story, and after watching the two parts, people can't help but realize that he is just telling the same story, but digging deeper and deeper into the story, and the main proposition of this story is - I want to be a good person!" The Washington Post's Kerry Shea said: "It tells a story well, but it's just a story, and although the novelty of undercover and anti-undercover is no longer enough, it is still the level that a great director should have, and the story has been reversed several times, but the clues are still firmly in the palm of his hand." ”

That's enough, what the audience wants to see is a story.

But there are also some different voices, this time more than the first.

"Premiere" did not comment on the movie, but instead evaluated Chen Tiandu ingeniously, "Christmas Chen, a 'bastard' who likes to shoot policemen!" People thought that the second part was going to put an end to the bad guys, and when he returned to orthodoxy, he did the same, and the bad guys committed suicide and shot themselves in the neck, but they didn't die. Living a recuperating life in a psychiatric hospital. And those excellent policemen who were supposed to be the protagonists only became a few monuments at the end...... After watching the two movies, the author can't help but ask, Christmas Chen, are you so keen to see the police being shot in the head? ”

The Miami Times reported: "There are many characters on the stage, but there are only two that attract the most attention, Christmas Chan and Andy Liu." ”

The Seattle Post commented: "The story of the movie is very straightforward, and fascinating themes such as schizophrenia are added to increase the watchability of the movie, but after watching it, I don't feel the need to make a second part after the first one." ”

The media reviews are flooded, and they are not as applauded as expected, but will the box office of the movie suffer Waterloo?

Chen Tiandu was not worried about this at all, and appeared on the side of the Lakers court with Kate that night. Tickets were provided by O'Neill, who was coming to see the game for the first time. Although there is no shortage of celebrity faces on the courtside of the Lakers Stadium, compared with those celebrities and stars who often attend, it is obvious that Chen Tiandu's fresh face on the sidelines is more noticeable this summer.

Chen Tiandu is still a little unaccustomed to watching the scene, and for him, watching TV at home is the same. was casually looking at the text messages on his mobile phone, and he didn't even notice that he was hit on the big screen at the scene. Suddenly, an orange firework rushed into his eyes, straight to his face, and Kate beside him let out an exclamation, it was too late to remind him.

"Wow......"

What happened? The scene was silent for a second. (To be continued......)
