Chapter 432: Eastern and Western Cultures

Bang knock.

Huang Sir's body was thrown down from the upper floor and hit the top of the taxi where Chen Yongren had just gotten off.

In the soundtrack of the song "Goodbye Police", Chen Yongren looked at Huang Sir's corpse in disbelief, the picture on the big screen, the camera revolved around the corpse, and the fully rendered atmosphere seemed to jump out of the screen, infecting all the audiences in the theater who were intoxicated by the plot.

At this moment, the audience is all quietly looking at the big screen, no one makes a sound, and they are coughing hard, afraid of disturbing, this scene has a shock that hits the heart.

"Give me a chance."

"How did I give you a chance?"

"I didn't have a choice before, now I just want to be a good person."

"Okay, tell the judge, see if he makes you a good person."

"That's to let me die."

"I'm sorry, I'm a police officer." Chen Yongren said loudly that Liu Jianming would be arrested.

However.

In the elevator, Chen Yongren was shot in the head by another **** undercover policeman...... Waiting for the elevator door to open, Liu Jianming straightened his tie and walked out. Chen Yongren and the undercover police officer both collapsed in the elevator.

Shock again.

……

"Infernal Affairs."

"Director, screenwriter: Tan Zhang."

At Chen Yongren's funeral, the undercover hero finally had a clean ending, and Liu Jianming, who was in the police team with his head down, didn't know what he was pondering.

Until the subtitles slowly emerge and the movie ends.

The 101-minute "Infernal Affairs" directed by Zhang Tan left the audience to discuss passionately and slowly.

"It's so powerful, it deserves to be Tan Shen, "Infernal Affairs" is definitely the most awesome police film, creating a new genre of police and gangster films!"

"Chen Yongren is a pity, if it weren't for that undercover agent, he wouldn't have died!"

"No wonder "The Departed" can become an Oscar favorite, "Infernal Affairs" is so good, it will definitely sweep the major Chinese awards next year."

"To be honest, I only serve Tan Zhang, a Chinese director."

"Liu Jianming is whitewashed now, and no one knows his undercover identity."

"Not necessarily, Liu Jianming is alive, but he has a ghost in his heart, maybe it will be even more painful."

"When Sir Huang died, I was taken aback."

"Actually, I like that gangster guy, stupid."

"I said that this is the pinnacle of police and gangster films, no opinion, Tan Shen's movies are the guarantee of quality."

……

On the first day of the premiere of "Infernal Affairs", the box office soared to 245.61 million yuan, with 34% of the film schedule, 61.4% of the box office share, and an average of 102 people per game.

What's even more terrifying is the rating of movie ticket ticketing websites such as Maoyan and Guevara, all of which have a score of 9.9 points, and almost all audiences who have watched the movie have given the best evaluation.

Subsequently, the score of the Douban movie was 9.6 points, and the score of Mtime was 9.5 points, which was also a good review.

Circle of friends, forum, post bar, micro. Bo was basically swiped by "Infernal Affairs", and he was vigorously discussing "Infernal Affairs", and this strong momentum almost instantly suppressed the attention of several movies in the same period. Of course, this is all normal.

Every time Zhang Tan's movie is released in China, it is an overwhelming sensation, even if it is a movie like Batman that has no fan base, it can also be swiped.

"Damn, I know that being released with Tan Zhang's movie is purely uncomfortable for myself." The boss of a film distributor in the same period, looking at the report sent by the employee, the data showed that the movie he represented, because of the release of "Infernal Affairs", the box office was directly cut in half compared with the previous day, and he immediately scolded.

Fortunately, now that the market is bigger, it is difficult for a movie to monopolize the box office, if it was placed ten years ago, it can be said that a blockbuster movie was released, and other films were directly GG, and it was impossible to even struggle.

After scolding, the boss sat on the chair and sulked silently.

From time to time, the thought of "it's not that I'm too weak, it's that the opponent is too strong" flashes through my mind, and this is indeed a fact.

Zhang Tan, who has memories of the future and holds all kinds of masterpieces, is powerful.

He said that if he wants to earn the box office, then there is no possibility of losing, even if it is a literary film, it can make a box office for a commercial film.

It's not.

"Infernal Affairs" started with a perfect first day, detonating the Lunar New Year file, and in the following two months of release, it vigorously hit the super box office of 2.6558 billion yuan, winning the 2018 mainland box office champion.

In Xiangxiang, "Infernal Affairs" also won the annual championship with 58.64 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 22nd in Xiangxiang film history.

It was much weaker in Taiwan Bend, and failed to squeeze into the top 20 of the year, only more than NT$50 million.

It sold S$1.02 million in Singapore and 1.2 billion won in South Korea.

It was followed by a box office of $750,000 in French-speaking areas such as France, Algeria, Monaco, Morocco and ******.

And because of the relationship between "The Departed", "Infernal Affairs" was also released on a small scale in North America, and the response was average, selling only $3.56 million.

In the end, with the strong box office in the mainland, "Infernal Affairs" earned $418 million worldwide, surpassing the global box office of its sister "The Departed".

In this regard, Zhang Tan is very satisfied: "The home advantage is cool, I have 1.5 billion Chinese people as the backstage, who dares to fight with me!" ”

……

The two sister chapters of "Infernal Affairs" and "The Departed" were all big sellers, and at the same time caused an infinite number of topics.

The core of the two movies is the same, but they are shot according to the different values and philosophical systems of the East and the West, in the previous life, "Infernal Affairs" was ignored by Western countries, and they all touted "The Departed", and neither of the two movies released at the same time this time can be ignored.

Therefore, a considerable number of film critics analyzed and compared the two films, which indirectly contributed to the Oscar call for "The Departed" and improved the quality of the two films.

Many film reviews are no longer analyzing movies, but the cultural differences between the East and the West.

Created a phenomenal topic.

In such an environment, Zhang Tan, who had lived a stable year, took his family and set off for Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA in early March.

Participated in the 91st Academy Awards in 2019.

At this year's Oscars, he was nominated for two films, "The Departed" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", and the limelight directly overshadowed all directors. I have to say that even if his achievements in the field of art are so-so, in terms of fame, there is no director in Hollywood who is his opponent.

Those who have won more awards than him are not as good at the box office as him, and those who are better than him at the box office are not as productive as him.

Especially on the IMDb website, which represents the audience's word-of-mouth, he monopolizes 6 Top-250 movies alone, and there is no one else in this audience.

Box office options, with the blockbuster Matrix trilogy and the first two installments of the Dark Knight trilogy.

Literary options, including the small and fresh "What Those Times Taught Me", and "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", which has been praised higher and higher, has been praised as a masterpiece.

The style options range from "Crazy Stone", the originator of multi-line storytelling, to "Saw Horror", a new level of horror.

Cultural options, "The Departed" and "Infernal Affairs" can be described as being in the limelight during this time.

"Tan, this is the second time you have been nominated for Best Director, do you have any confidence in winning the award?" The red carpet host stopped Zhang Tan to ask.

The surrounding reporters clicked and took pictures, and the flash stabbed people's eyes so hard that they couldn't open them.

Zhang Tan habitually pretended: "I don't care too much about the choice of awards, making movies look good is my pursuit, of course, if you can make a good movie, it is also very interesting to be recognized by the Oscar judges, isn't it." (To be continued.) )
