After the release of Infernal Affairs, the shock it brought is actually something that the media will not say, and people will be clearly aware of it. After the release of a movie, the most intuitive response to his evaluation is the box office, and the box office after the release of Infernal Affairs is a good illustration of the problem.

Before the movie was played, people had already talked about that the movie would not be too bad at the box office. However, even if it was expected, the box office situation of the movie still seems surprising. In the first week of the movie's release, the box office of the movie has exceeded $40.3 million. From the first day of the film, the attendance rate of almost all the sets exceeded 90%, and the audience's anticipation and enthusiasm for the film was quite amazing.

"After the release of the movie Infernal Affairs, it only took three days for it to burst out with dazzling vitality. Previously, director Levy said that his film would be a breakthrough movie, but now, it is difficult to say whether there is enough breakthrough in other aspects, and in terms of box office, the breakthrough of the film has been fully achieved. ”

The popularity of this film seems incredible: there is no action, no explosions, why would the audience still buy it? The reason for this is actually very understandable: what the audience wants to watch, in addition to the big scenes, there is another very important aspect, that is, stars.

The promotional video for this movie has been released early. The few characters and clips that appear in the movie promo are all clips of several stars showing their charm, which is a very desirable clip.

De Niro was originally the best in gangster movies, and his very inflammatory words in the movie trailer are also extremely heartbreaking. And Pete and Norton's drama also appeared in the trailer, and the stars competed together, which was originally very exciting, not to mention that the film director was Levy.

For a star, after acting in a movie, as long as it is not a garbage film. Always worry about the box office. De Niro and others are all top actors, and as long as the quality of their movies is acceptable, the audience is willing to buy them. And this time the movie was shot by Levy, and in the past three years, Levy has proved his level with one movie after another, and even the most discerning fans have to admit that Levy's movie quality rate is quite high. That being the case, before the release of the movie. The audience is almost certain that this is a fine movie starring stars, and what reason does the audience have to refuse?

Therefore, as soon as the movie was launched, there were already a lot of avid fans waiting. A good director paired with a good actor generates box office appeal, which is not a simple addition. This is where good word-of-mouth comes into effect: when a director proves that his films are all high-quality, his new film can be highly anticipated even if it has not yet been released.

And if it is said that the movie is before its release. People rely on the names of directors and actors to decide whether to watch movies or not, so after watching the movies, people's evaluations. Once again, the box office of the movie has been raised.

"This is De Niro's most successful performance in recent years - this kind of gangster boss full of domineering and cunning, De Niro is very handy. Any fan of his should watch this movie, and people who are not his fans will also be impressed by him after watching it. ”

After the end of the movie. The fans of the various actors are also expressing their opinions: unlike in the past, the only way for fans to know the quality of the movie is through the comments of media magazines. Now that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, the websites of various movies have begun to become a climate, which has also prompted more communication between fans, and many people have already been on the website after the movie is over, talking about their idols.

Some actors, their own names are a guarantee of quality: this year's Hanks is a typical example, and all the films he took over were extremely successful. And De Niro is similar, his acting skills and fame have long been recognized, and this time the role of the gangster boss in the movie is a very charismatic character. Seductive words, careful thoughts, ruthless style, and resolute attitude all make this person show his charm. And in the end, before he died, De Niro added a mocking smile to himself in front of the muzzle, which also made his fans crazy.

Outside of De Niro, it's Pitt who attracts the most viewers.

Although Pete is not the most famous among these people, when it comes to popularity, he is definitely ranked first. At that time, he had a handsome face, and he was originally a popular figure among the audience, and in this movie, he is one of the protagonists, which also gives fans the most attention.

"If anyone says in the future that Pete can't act, let him come and see this play. Pete proved with his best acting skills that he is the best actor, an Oscar-level actor. Each of Levy's films is capable of producing an Oscar-level person, and this year, this person is Pete! ”

Fans of Pete are proud of Pitt's performance. Pitt doesn't have as much of a flamboyant personality in the movie, but his performance is indeed extremely delicate. Many times, he is full of smiles to show his personal charm, and use his own eyes to show the entanglement and loneliness in his heart. The image of a person who has a wrong mouth, a lot of things on his mind, but wants to be optimistic, he shows it vividly, and it can be said that it is simply incomparable. Several phone calls with the gang boss, and his pretense in front of his fiancée, all made people marvel at his acting skills.

As the person who survived to the end in the movie, he has a lot of room to play. Therefore, after watching the movie, his fans decided that with his acting skills, there would be absolutely no problem in challenging for the Oscars this year.

After watching a movie, they immediately say that their idol can win an Oscar, which is the basic quality of being a fan - that's what Pete's fans do, but this time, they ran into some trouble. Norton's fans are unhappy with their attitude.

"Obviously, Tony's role is heavier and more than Andy's, and it is more in line with the identity of the protagonist. Edward's performance is even better, Pete still has some traces of acting in some places, and Norton has completely integrated into the character. In this movie, his performance is obviously better. ”

Fans of Norton, naturally, watch Norton. In their opinion, Norton is better than Pete. Norton is an actor who pays attention to the details of his performance, and he also designed a lot of his own actions for his characters in the movie. For example, he himself asked to add a smoking scene when performing. He pays more attention to eye changes and communication, which are his strengths, and even in the movies, he performs better than Pete.

As a result, Norton's performance was noticeably better in the eyes of Norton's fans - but unfortunately, Norton was not as handsome as Pete, so he didn't receive much support.

In the movie, Norton has more scenes, and Pete survives to the end. Therefore. More people think that Pete is the main character - he is the one who has really lost himself. These two arguments also made fans quarrel. Although fans also know that the movie is a two-hero film, and these two people are the protagonists, who is the most important one? Which character shows the director's ideas more? This is also the focus of discussion.

Of course, no matter who is discussing it on the three sides, they all admit at least one thing: Liam Neeson's acting skills are excellent, and they can be said to be impeccable in the movie. One of the poles from the very beginning. The police officer who dared to confront the gang boss head-on developed into a clue character later, and after his death, the two undercover agents had psychological changes because of his death, and joined forces to kill the gang boss. His majestic side. and his kind side, all of which are convincing.

"Only Liam Neeson can play head-to-head with De Niro without falling behind. And only Liam Neeson can be able to be with Pete. When Norton was on the same field, he completely overwhelmed his opponent in momentum. There are often golden supporting roles in Levy's films, this time. He picked the right character again. ”

Although it is difficult for people to tell who the protagonist of the movie is, it is clear who the supporting role of the movie is. Liam Neeson played quite well in the role of this supporting role, which no one can deny.

The performances of the actors in the movie not only determine the level of the movie itself, but also determine whether their fans like to watch it. Sometimes, a movie is useless everywhere else, but because of the amazing charm of the leading actors, some viewers buy it.

And a movie can create a number of charming characters, and let these characters compete with each other and complement each other, which is naturally more exciting.

The movie Infernal Affairs has four stars, and amazingly, the narrative structure of the whole movie makes it so that the roles of the four people in the movie are not too important. Everyone has their own brilliant side, everyone can be said to be full of charm, and their fans will naturally flock to the cinema to watch their idol's performances. Commercial blockbusters like to use stars, and that's why: the diehards of these actors are people who are willing to pay for tickets to watch their idols perform.

What can pull the box office, except for the scenes, is the star. When a movie has a huge number of fans watching, he naturally has an amazing box office.

When the first week ended, the movie was close to 4100 box office results, which also shows how popular the film is with the audience. It's incredible that a movie without too many fights, no explosions, and no action scenes can have such a box office. This number can be ranked among the top three in this year's movies - in addition to the box office of X-Men in the first week of more than 50 million, Paramount's Mission Impossible 2 has an impressive record of 57 million box office.

And such an achievement has also made many people discuss whether it is possible for this movie to challenge the box office results of another blockbuster Gladiator this year.

The Gladiator film is the largest investment film produced by DreamWorks since its inception. With an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, it has carried the greatest hope of DreamWorks and the world since it bloomed. Now, its hot release period has passed, and it has achieved a good box office of more than 180 million in the United States, and has a box office of more than 400 million in the world.

However, in the first week of its release, the box office of that movie was only 34 million, which was slightly lower than Infernal Affairs.

If the box office of this movie exceeds 40 million from the first week, then, in the coming days, will he perform miracles again and surpass the gladiators?

For a while, this has also become one of the focuses of attention. (To be continued......)
