Although the film reviews of the five-star film critic Radish have always been very fair and objective, many people like to refer to the film reviews of Radish before or after watching the movie.

"The bad movie "East Evil and West Poison", don't you feel the atmosphere of the whole movie? The deliberate perspective, the deliberate prop arrangement and composition, as well as the actor's pretending to be unnatural but revealing artificiality, the lines of overseas Chinese affection, and then the boring plot, the boring masochism of love or not. I wanted to sleep when I couldn't see a third, and Liang Jiahui was also taken by the director to the Pretend B Association, the performance was so blunt and artificial, and the movements were unnatural. This kind of detail has not been taken care of, Nima is still making movies! ”

"I bought a ticket for the premiere, and after watching it, I was disappointed, and a few men and women played for 1 and a half hours? There is no one in their right mind, just rely on a group of actors to pretend to be fancy to force? Plot??? I can only say four words, I don't know what to say! ”

He said that he hadn't seen this movie, and although he wanted to grab a ticket at the time, he unfortunately didn't get it. But after reading so many movie reviews, I just want to say that when faced with something incomprehensible, people usually have two attitudes, too awesome and too stupid! ”

"When I finished watching the East Evil and the West Poison, I only remembered this sentence deeply.

Do you know the difference between drinking and drinking water? Wine, the more you drink, the warmer it gets, and water, the more you drink, the colder it gets. The blind samurai said in the play.

Perhaps, the only difference between water and wine is that water is used to quench thirst, and wine is used to pour sorrows.

Before the play, when the East Evil Yellow Medicine Master drank the jar of "Drunken Life and Dream Death" wine again, he said: People's biggest trouble is that their memory is too good, if they don't have memory, they won't remember so many unbeautiful things, and they won't be melancholy and sad. After he finished drinking, he said that he had begun to forget a lot of things he had before.

After the play, Ouyang Feng drank the jar of "drunk life and dream death", but his memory was better, and he remembered the previous things more clearly than before, and he couldn't forget that he abandoned his beloved woman in the sea of people, so he was unhappy, and he was also jealous of others being happy.

Don't say that this film is contradictory, in fact, this shows that there are two different mentalities, Huang Yaoshi is evading, and he pretends to have forgotten the past, because it will not be painful if he forgets.

Here, we may have a question, forgetting and not forgetting and happiness and unhappiness are really this inevitable connection, is there nothing in this world more happy than forgetting, if there is really such a jar of "drunken life and dream death" are we really willing to drink it all?

"If you can forget everything, every day will be a new beginning." The sister-in-law who made the wine also said the same.

I don't know if the happiness of "forgetting" really exists, but it is certain that such happiness is hard to find. ”

After the premiere, Chen Ge threw everything to Lu Liang and Shi Zhimin again, and instead devoted himself to the filming of "Infernal Affairs".

He wasn't interested in any of these things, and now he was just working on Infernal Affairs, and for him it was doing the greatest thing he could do.

"Chen Ge! Chen Ge! ”

During the break on the set, Lu Liang's face was full of red light, and he rushed into the dressing room with a "bang" with excitement. But that didn't stop him from howling in a cracked hoarse voice.

When Lu Liang rushed into the dressing room, he saw that Chen Ge, Liu Dehua, and He Man were all here. Even Huang Xiaoming, Han Dong and others sat there with smiles on their faces. The whole office was bustling.

Chen Ge is being fiddled with by a makeup artist.

"Director Lu, what's wrong? Looking so excited? Liu Dehua asked.

Lu Liang's face was full of joy, and he handed a report in his hand to Liu Dehua. The whole person was very much looking forward to it, and his eyes showed a little excitement and excitement.

"The movie broke the record! It took less than three days to break all the box office records of "Wild Boy!! The absolute highest box office of literary films can almost be compared with ordinary commercial films! Lu Liang shouted excitedly.

"Breaking the record?"

Everyone present turned their heads to look at Lu Liang who was dancing in front of them, and they all guessed that it was a good thing for Lu Liang to run in excitedly. They didn't expect it to be a record-breaking. And it also broke the record of 10 million wild boys! This made them somewhat stunned.

They guessed that the box office would be good, but they didn't expect it to be even better than they expected. It's not much better than commercial films. In this way, they can feel exactly what is the propaganda effect of "wanton bombardment".

This time it was really a sensation in the city's media, and all the media and newspapers were holding back their strength to report it. Even newspapers like "Xiangjiang Literature and Art" have published the introduction and comments of the movie "East Evil and West Poison" in a prominent place. It can be seen that this movie has caused a huge movement.

The faces of everyone present could not hide their joy.

Everyone understands what this means.

The filming of "Infernal Affairs" is now in the later stage, and the better the box office of "East Evil and West Poison", the more topical, and the more topical, the greater the benefits for the next "Infernal Affairs".

Chen Ge looked very indifferent, because the quality of the box office of East Evil and West Poison is conceivable, after all, after such a flamboyant publicity, no matter how bad the film is, it can get a good box office, so the box office of East Evil and West Poison is not something to be happy about.

Chen Ge's makeup was quickly finished, and he stood up calmly, "Okay, get ready, let's start filming!" ”

Lu Liang was very dissatisfied with Chen Ge's performance, but he just pouted, he knew Chen Ge very well now, and many surprising things were nothing at all in the eyes of this young man, as if they were all under his control.

The box office of the movie has been soaring, and "East Evil and West Poison" is like a storm sweeping in, in just 20 days, the box office of the movie is as high as 30 million, which can be said to be the best.

The audience still has different opinions about the East Evil and West Poison, the good or bad is inconclusive, and the online scolding war is everywhere, the upright East Evil and West Poison faction thinks that the Evil Sect has no taste, and the Evil Sect thinks that the Evil Sect is all pretending to be a criminal, which also fuels the box office of "East Evil and West Poison".

In fact, Chen Ge himself can't tell what kind of movie "East Evil and West Poison" is, but just like the interpretation of Hamlet, only those who have really had this experience will know that "East Evil and West Poison" is more of a feeling and feelings, rather than a picture.

In the evening, after returning home from the crew, Chen Ge turned on the computer and wrote a film review about "East Evil and West Poison" on the forum.

"Before writing this review, I must admit one thing, "East Evil and West Poison" is too boring compared to other Xiangjiang movies with intense action and strong pictures, but every industry always needs one or two alternatives to interpret the other side of the industry.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. So why can't we put our understanding into it?

Story-wise, the story of this movie is so simple that I almost think it's a trivial little thing for ordinary people.

But in terms of imagery, a lot of greatness is because it represents the ordinary. In "East Evil and West Poison", if it weren't for the changing and beautiful imagery and touching music, even the most classic lines, we would not be so attracted to him. In our opinion, the ever-changing clouds and skies in the film, the yellow desert that raises sand and dust, and the large areas of red. And here, we just want to share some of our own views on some of the central imagery. I think that we must grasp a key point about these images, that is, the subtitles at the beginning of the film: The Buddha has clouds: the flag has not moved, the wind has not moved, it is the human heart itself that moves.

In the hut of West Poison, a birdcage is always turning. Many people have walked in its shadows: Western Poison, Eastern Evil, Murong Yan/Murong Yan, and Nameless Swordsman. And one of the birds in there is always squatting inside, accompanied by the sound of birdsong, there is also a little sadness. The yearning for freedom may be their greatest wish, but one of us understands the situation of Western Poison: self-exile.

In fact, after watching this movie, you will find that maybe each character has his own shadow. It tells the modern fable of a modern man, the existential dilemma of an urban man. We can see the struggle for survival told by the director in the movie, "I have seen a lot of young people like you, who know a little martial arts and think that they can run rampant in the world, but in fact, it is a very painful thing to go to the rivers and lakes." Knowing martial arts, there are many things that can't be done. You don't want to plow the fields, do you? You don't have the shame to rob, and you don't want to show up on the streets, how do you live? If you are strong in martial arts, you have to eat" This shows the dilemma of the survival of a modern person, especially a modern urban person, who is unable to make a living after having a skill.

During the release of the East Evil and West Poison in full swing, Chen Ge filmed "Infernal Affairs" without paying attention to what was going on outside the window, and he didn't even worry about the box office of the East Evil and West Poison, but he remembered that Lu Liang sighed in front of him with sighs and appreciation, and he didn't know why.

The media did not agree until the end on the question of whether "East Evil and West Poison" is a good movie or a bad movie.

The plot of Infernal Affairs is no more difficult than the East Evil and the West Poison, and the difficulty of shooting, at least in terms of the intensity of the picture, is much more difficult than the East Evil and the West Poison.

The days passed, and "Infernal Affairs" finally ushered in the day of completion. (To be continued.) )
