At the same time, the box office of the first week of Hong Kong City also came out, and it earned 30 million box office in the first week, because of the population base, so the box office is not so much.
The film quickly spread to every corner of the mainland, and people were discussing the movie online, on the phone, and making the box office soar.
And those media also reported this movie like crazy.
"Chen Hao swept the summer file with "Infernal Affairs", no one is beatable!" -- Kyoto Entertainment News.
"Three movies, all classics, Chen Hao has become a box office myth!" -- Southern Metropolis Daily.
"The era that belongs to Dream Building Company is coming, and the era that belongs to Chen Hao is coming." -- Entertainment Star Weekly.
……
Not only various media reports, but the Tianya community has also established a post bar of "Infernal Affairs", and the posts at the top of the homepage praise Infernal Affairs in various ways.
Not to be outdone, Tencent pop-ups at least five times a day are about Infernal Affairs.
In these reports, Chen Hao didn't pay much attention, he only paid attention to those movie reviews.
"Infernal Affairs is a rare film in Hong Kong films. It is not a film that simply relies on the accumulation of stars, and its success lies in the fact that it has made a great breakthrough compared with the previous Xiangjiang police films.
This movie does not only rely on heroes like other Xiangjiang police films, but infects the audience with exquisite plots, chic and neat camera editing, and uses ups and downs to show the contradictions and conflicts between the characters.
In addition, this film shows the complex relationship between police and bandits, but it is not limited to the deceit between each other, especially Chen Yongren's final tragic death, which makes "Infernal Affairs" out of the general police and bandit film The great consummation mode of justice will eventually defeat evil.
The director's good intentions are also reflected in the application of many other film technologies, such as the scene where Liu Jianming sees Chen Yongren leave the police academy from time to time, using the starting point of their lives to promote the development of the story, which is undeniably a very clever method"
-- Tencent Online Commentary.
""Infernal Affairs" is not only very exquisitely filmed, but the story in it is also very well written, and there are some new ideas. It has a lot more fresh things than the common Xiangjiang police and gangster films.
"Infernal Affairs" obviously does not pay attention to the action elements and hot violent visual effects of Xiangjiang police and gangster films in the past, it is really about the relationship between the two characters, and this movie relies on logic to let the audience participate in it and do a guessing game"
-- Zhang Yimou's comment.
In "Infernal Affairs", Chen Hao once again picked up the more common marginal theme in gangster movies, but he did not interpret it from the superficial meaning of the opposition between the underworld and the police.
In addition to gunplay and action, there is a lot of ink on the aberration of human nature in a special environment. In addition to a large number of entertainment elements, the film also has some thought-provoking things. Compared with the brotherhood that is common in gangster movies, the underlying spiritual lines given in the film's story take Xiangjiang's gangster movies to a new level. ”
-- Southern Metropolis Newspaper Review.
"The biggest credit for this movie is the director Chen Hao. Chen Hao made the narrative of the movie completely serve the plot, without any side details, and it was completely done in one go.
In addition, Chen Hao also abandoned the previous gangster films in Xiangjiang movies, and no longer put the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, grievances and hatred in the first place, but focused on portraying the psychological changes of the characters; No longer blindly pursuing big scenes, big explosions, but focusing on describing how things will go.
In the film, Chen Hao used a lot of close-ups to express the inner thoughts of the characters, which strengthened the tension of the film and made people hold their breath and concentrate"
-- Tianya Community Review.
"Infernal Affairs is based on twists and turns in the psychological confrontation, and in addition to a lot of entertainment elements, there are also some thought-provoking things related to philosophy.
In the film, Liu Jianming wanted to be a good person, but he was full of helplessness and hesitation, and finally he went to a split personality. In the endless black and white, it is difficult to make the right choice for yourself, and this is the most painful moment of life.
What touches people in "Infernal Affairs" is not the every move of the big people, but the inner struggle of the little people. I want to be a really good person, but everything in the past can't be erased, it's really a person in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself"
-- Kyoto Entertainment Newspaper Review.
With these good reviews, of course, there are inevitably some bad reviews, no matter how good and successful the movie is, it can't avoid the fate of being hacked.
"There is an obvious deficiency in "Infernal Affairs", that is, the two undercover roles played by Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei are designed too correspondingly. In addition, exaggerating the power of the underworld is also an obvious problem in the film, and if you seriously investigate it, Xiangjiang is not Columbia, and the drug dealers in the play cannot have that much ability in reality. ”
-- Kyoto public figure Luo Sanpao.
This Luo Sanpao is Chen Hao's lifelong sunspot, he seems to be eyeing Chen Hao, he began to hack Chen Hao in the first part, and he didn't find a chance in the second part, but he also publicized Chen Hao's badness in a small range.
Now this movie is almost all praised, and he jumped out to say so many shortcomings, I have to admit that this person still has some strength, at least he can see these in the film.
But these are not shortcomings, but just to make the story better and more conflicting. The plays he directed are not famous, but they really deserve to be, and with this level of vision, there is only the share of hitting the streets.
In such a praised article, it is not without benefit to be able to see an article that sings down, because after reading this, the pride and pride in Chen Hao's heart were instantly put away.
He was originally touted as a little fluttery, but he also became down-to-earth.
At this moment, Chen Hao thought of what he was going to do now, he sorted out some information about the filming of Fairy Sword and became a TV series, and planned to go to Taiwan to talk to the "Father of Fairy Sword" about copyright issues soon.
And he has no other plans except for this TV series, but it seems that he has to prepare a movie for Ning Hao, Ning Hao has nothing to do for his script, thinking about the script every day, Chen Hao is going to write a book for him, and conceive while filming.
According to Chen Hao's estimate, Ning Hao's book may not be able to be written next year, Chen Hao knows what he wants to write, but he didn't say it, Ning Hao needs to create it himself once, and he won't be inexperienced in the future.
Chen Hao can't help Ning Hao, Ning Hao is the pillar of the future company, he can't rely on Chen Hao for everything, even if Xu Zheng is in the future, he doesn't want to interfere more, he just takes him to get this idea out.
There is also a way to pull Huang Lei into the company, this will be the fourth director of the company, Chen Hao doesn't want to let him go.
