Chapter 690. "Infernal Affairs" became popular

readx;

Time goes by slowly, the wireless martial arts masterpiece "Xiao Li Flying Knife" starring Chen Xiaotang was launched, and that night it was empty of thousands of people, everyone stayed at home to watch Li Xunhuan played by Chen Xiaotang, so that the entire streets and alleys of Greater Hong Kong were empty, even the most lively Polish Street, Lan Kwai Fong and other places, also seemed extraordinarily quiet, not to mention drunks, and there was not a single drunk cat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is unprecedented for a star to make the whole of Hong Kong like this.

Then again, as the last TV series of the big star Chen Xiaotang, as a drama in which he completely broke off the relationship with wireless, this martial arts masterpiece has been expected by everyone, and now, once it is broadcast, of course, it will trigger a gunpowder explosion of national watching.

That night, TVB's prime-time ratings reached an unprecedented 63 points! Created a new record for the highest ratings of a TV series!

You must know that the original Hong Kong TV ratings record was the 78 Miss Hong Kong election, with ratings as high as 60 points, and the highest TV series was only 44 points, and now Chen Xiaotang starred in this drama alone, and he was able to hold up a piece of the sky, making the TV series ratings higher than variety shows, which is simply a miracle,!

Turning his head, for this drama of wireless, Hong Kong ATV, as an old rival, can only sigh that Chen Xiaotang's personal charm or personality cult is too strong, it can be said that it has affected the audience in Hong Kong, and fighting in the ring with such a star is simply a birthday star who always eats arsenic --- looking for his own death.

In the face of such a situation, ATV used variety shows to fight with wireless in a very curvaceous way. Since you can't resist it, you are seeking pleasure in being ravaged.

Of course, as the big boss of ATV TV, Mr. Qiu Degen is very unhappy, don't forget, Chen Xiaotang took ATV shares, as a shareholder of ATV, he is half an ATV person, and now his own people actually help outsiders to fight ATV, and they fight so badly. I pick, it's too much to say.

So Old Man Qiu called Chen Xiaotang.

"Tang Zai, you're too unkind, how can you help outsiders beat your own family!"

"Old Qiu, I can't help it. Since I have an appointment with someone. You have to fulfill it, don't you? ”

"Then you can't be so desperate, put a little water in the filming, play a little smash, and we can fight against it!"

"Huh. Old Qiu, this is not right. No matter what my identity is, first of all, I am an actor, as long as it is my role, I will play it 100% well! ”

"Alright. Count me wrong..... hehe, when do you ease your hands and help ATV, ATV needs you! ”

"Don't worry, I will!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile, "If you really can't wait, I just have a self-made drama called "Meteor Garden" here, do you want to be interested?" ”

"Meteor Garden" is the first idol drama in Hong Kong's history. Chen Xiaotang decided to launch it in ATV. It depends on whether Qiu Degen has courage and vision.

At this time, Old Man Qiu has been overwhelmed by wireless, Chen Xiaotang's every proposal is a lifesaver, not to mention that he has also heard of it, and now Magic Shadow Entertainment has spent a lot of effort to shoot a very good self-made drama, is this it?!

Come to think of it. Old Man Qiu couldn't wait to say: "Ah Tang, if you say it's good, it must be good, keep this drama for me." It's up to you whether our ATV can turn over or not! ”

"Hehe, don't worry. This drama will only belong to ATV! ”

"That's a good word!"

With Chen Xiaotang's promise, Qiu Degen is like taking a reassuring pill, wireless, just wait, don't look at your waves now, be careful to pull the list in the future!

For this TV series starring Chen Xiaotang, the outside world is polarized.

Some said that Chen Xiaotang was praised as the most handsome Li Xunhuan in history, and even thought that his acting skills were absolutely perfect, and he played a character like Li Xunhuan absolutely perfectly.

There are also those who disagree. thinks that Chen Xiaotang is too handsome, which is the biggest failure, as we all know, in the original Gulong work, Li Xunhuan is already a down-and-out uncle over 30 years old, how can Chen Xiaotang be so handsome and invincible? ! What's more, although Chen Xiaotang's acting skills are good, it is precisely because of his excellent acting skills that it brings out the retarded acting skills of some actors.

Anyway, the drama "Xiao Li Flying Knife" continues to be hot in polarized evaluations, and the ratings are popular all the way, making people jealous.

In this high-temperature situation, "Infernal Affairs", which was completed by Magic Shadow Entertainment, was finally fully released on June 16, 1985 after some editing.

As the boss, Chen Xiaotang once again broke the tradition, did not prepare the so-called test screening at all, and directly let his theaters release this drama.

According to his meaning, since Magic Shadow Entertainment wants to play its own signboard, it is necessary for all Hong Kong audiences to establish a concept: Magic Shadow Entertainment's play, even if it is not a test screening, is definitely a good show!

This concept is somewhat similar to what Shaw Brothers used to dominate Xiangjiang before: Shaw Brothers products must be good products!

What's more, this drama was written and produced by him Chen Xiaotang himself, even if Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei are not super stars, just by virtue of his Chen Xiaotang's current popularity, he will definitely be able to kill the Quartet.

Sure enough.

Under the influence of Chen Xiaotang's hot popularity, the publicity of "Infernal Affairs" has become redundant, and the majority of fans and fans have been looking forward to everything Chen Xiaotang is involved in, not to mention that this drama is a masterpiece personally supervised by Chen Xiaotang after his comeback, and the words "Xiangjiang Talent" alone have aroused great public interest. Therefore, when "Infernal Affairs" was released in major theaters on the first day, it had already reached a hard-to-find popularity.

The performance of Liang Chaowei and Huang Rihua in the movie did not disappoint many lucky people who bought tickets. If you like action movies, you can enjoy a series of thrilling blasting designs in this play, as well as visual impact scenes such as speeding car chases and exciting gunfights; likes comedies, has its own gags of silly and strong scenes, and occasionally inadvertently one or two classic witty dialogues; And those who like literary films, not to mention, the biggest advantage of this drama itself is to make police and gangster films literary, especially the emotional scenes played by protagonists such as Liu Dehua , Liang Chaowei and other female characters, although the proportion is not much, but it is the finishing touch, touching and profound, so that the audience can vent their feelings to their heart's content. Even people who don't like literary style think of reality. I also have a different feeling for the emotional scenes in the movie. As for those who like to watch the police and bandits fight wits and courage, then they really have to enjoy it from beginning to end. In short, no matter who is watching, they get great satisfaction from this film.

For the majority of Chen Xiaotang fans, the ending song in this movie is selected from "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" in Chen Xiaotang's new album. This piece is simply the soul of this play. Especially when the actor Liang Chaowei fell in a pool of blood in the elevator at the end, the music sounded in time, and Chen Xiaotang's voice matched the sadness of the ending song and floated throughout the venue. The cinema is full of mourning, and sensitive fans have been completely conquered by this drama and substituted themselves into this drama, which is very emotional.

Let's go back to the scene of the balcony confrontation in "Infernal Affairs", which was unanimously praised after the end of the film. It is known as a classic scene in the history of cinema.

It is no wonder that after Chen Xiaotang's continuous pursuit of excellence, this scene not only reproduces the classic scenes of the previous life, but also is meticulous in the portrayal of the characters, the dialogues of the characters, etc., without the slightest flaw. And the director Fat Wang Jing let the photographer shoot the most beautiful picture with the best angle, and the scenes are blended. is simply the soul of the whole play, how can it not be admired?

In such a situation, it is conceivable that the box office is a big hit. In just three days of release, the box office has exceeded 10 million, breaking the movie record created by Magic Shadow Entertainment itself.

Therefrom. Chen Xiaotang has also become the most money-making person in the entire entertainment industry, and with the drama he supervised, he established his new status in film in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest movie tycoon in the legend.

The media that continues to hype Chen Xiaotang naturally commented on this film. Jin Yong, a hero who is unwilling to be lonely, also published an article in his column of "Ming Pao", turning from a martial arts master to a temporary film critic. expressed their opinion.

Master Kim Yong first got straight to the point and said: "There are many reasons why a movie can be successful, or how successful it can be. "Infernal Affairs" is definitely a very ambitious blockbuster, but it is still surprising to achieve such a big success. ”

Regarding the success of "Infernal Affairs", Jin Yong boiled down to three points: "First of all, Chen Xiaotang's performance in the music industry some time ago has aroused fans' expectations for this film. Especially after the release of the album of "The Return of the King", the MV of "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" is taken from the play "Infernal Affairs", so people can't wait for the release of this film. That's exactly what I am. To be honest, I don't usually like watching movies, although I also worked as a screenwriter before writing martial arts dramas, but after listening to this album, I can't help but want to see what the film is really like. ”

Secondly, Chen Xiaotang's last TV series is being broadcast on TV stations, and the popularity of this drama has also played a role in fueling the flames. If Chen Xiaotang is using the series to hype this film, of course, it is unkind, but it does have the effect of hype, which is also a fact. ”

Finally, I want to talk about the two male protagonists of this play, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei. It is said that after filming this drama, they will officially terminate the contract with Wireless and join Magic Shadow Entertainment. In other words, the success of this drama will indicate that the two of them have officially entered the film industry and become Chen Xiaotang's right-hand men, plus the original Li Lianjie, to stage the legend of the 'Three Heroes of the Magic Shadow'. When filming this drama, Liang Chaowei, who was originally slightly less popular, revealed that he captured Ye Zimei, who was a guest appearance in this drama, with an electric eye, and sparked a real play with this natural stunner, so that Wei Zai's current girlfriend Zeng Huaqian was jealous...... This kind of love triangle scandal has undoubtedly added countless gossip fun to the audience, and everyone has the problem of peeping at people, I believe that it is only affected by gossip news, and there are not a few people who watch this film simply for the sake of watching the excitement. ”

Then Jin Yong, who used to work as a film screenwriter at the Great Wall Film Company, couldn't stop writing because he was so good at writing, he actually analyzed the film from a technical point of view: "Although I think the success of this film is more than it deserves, as I said at the beginning, this is an ambitious blockbuster, and it can even be said to be an extremely radical film." First of all, the gunfight action scenes are smooth and creative, which is already a great visual treat, quite a tribute to Hollywood blockbusters. Secondly, the plot is not procrastinated, and the battle of wits and courage is also well designed, and the whole story is tense and exciting, and the philosophy is full of intriguing. The above two points are enough to become an excellent commercial film, but the advantages of this film are not limited to this, the emotional drama is the finishing touch, and it is also very in-depth, which makes people feel a lot of emotion after watching it. It is because of the emotional aspect of the performances between the characters. This film has gone beyond the category of pure commercial films, has some characteristics of literary films, and has become an excellent film. ”

In the end, Kim Yong concluded: "In short, this film is definitely the best police film I have ever encountered, especially the restrained connotation. It's impressive. So much so that it has surpassed ordinary entertainment movies and reached an unprecedented height. Just like the exposition of the Infernal Hell in the Buddhist scriptures in this play, the height of this play has broken through the shackles of hell, and it will definitely go straight to the sky in the future. Become eternal. ”

The craze of "Infernal Affairs" also affected the release of Chen Xiaotang's records, and many fans who did not buy the album "The Return of the King" before also turned into fans after watching the film, just to listen to the ending theme song "It's not a sin for a man to cry". That is one of the title songs in Chen Xiaotang's "Return of the King" album.

Who would have thought that the singing album that had already gone to popularity and was no longer popular. Because of this movie, the enthusiasm will be ignited again, so that people will buy this album again when they are chasing the movie. This kind of mutual assistance is released, forming a one-stop mode of song and shadow, and Chen Xiaotang can be regarded as the first person in history.

The box office of the movie is rising step by step, which has made people happy, and because of this, the hot sale of "Infernal Affairs" has made everyone unbelievable and ecstatic.

Almost everyone related to this drama has benefited from the hit screening of "Infernal Affairs", and the fat man Wang Jing has stepped into the ranks of big directors. took off the stinky hat that only directs, pee, and fart movies; Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei have become popular students in the film industry, and they are hot; Even Huang Rihua, Guo Fucheng and others, who played supporting roles, began to gain popularity, and they are among the best in the ranks of supporting roles. Others also have their own gains, and even ordinary employees can get a little more money from the dividends of future movies. For a while, everyone was overjoyed and recognized the golden signboard of Magic Shadow Entertainment and Chen Xiaotang.

Produced by the Shadow of the Shadow, it must be a good product!

In the case of the continuous high temperature of "Infernal Affairs". As the initiator of this classic drama, the big star Chen Xiaotang is non-stop condolences to the orphans. Because since his secret charity was made public, Chen Xiaotang felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so in public, he promised that if the box office of "Infernal Affairs" broke 100 million, he would donate 5 million to charity, and now he is fulfilling this promise.

Chen Xiaotang's donation of 5 million once again detonated the charity of the entire entertainment industry, and Chen Xiaotang was awarded the title of "Hong Kong's Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons" by the British Government of Hong Kong on the basis of charity ambassadors. In recognition of his achievements in the film industry and philanthropy.

If you remember correctly, it will be Zhang Xueyou, Liming and others who will win this title in the future.

However, for Chen Xiaotang, such an honor is dispensable, because for him, it has no practical significance, and it is better to give him some special policies to support the rapid development of his company.

You must know that entering Hollywood has become Chen Xiaotang's biggest dream, and now this dream still needs strength to back it up.

Just when Chen Xiaotang was talking about the British government of Hong Kong not being interesting enough, and he would only talk about it and not play some practical things, the dear Lord of Hong Kong here, Sir Youde brought Chen Xiaotang an amazing message--- Tseung Kwan O land is about to be auctioned publicly,!

Chen Xiaotang was really shocked when he got the news, because as far as he knew, the Tseung Kwan O land auction was two thousand years later, how could it be advanced all of a sudden? !

Without waiting for Chen Xiaotang to finish thinking, on the other side of the phone, Lord Hong Kong said: "This is an opportunity, I am very interested in Magic Shadow Entertainment, my dear, if your company wants to develop, you must have its own cinema, right?" ”

Wake up the dreamer in a word!

Chen Xiaotang understood what Hong Kong Governor Youde meant, and also understood that the fragrant dumplings thrown by the other party were very tempting.

Due to the completion of the construction of the Red Stadium last year, the funds owed to developers and builders have been allocated this year, and now the British government in Hong Kong is financially constrained and needs to raise funds to alleviate the "black hole" in it. And the Governor of Hong Kong, Lord Youde, is worthy of being a good money-maker, and immediately thought of auctioning the land at a high price.

Today's Hong Kong is different from the previous life, many large companies are eager for land, due to the existence of these objective factors, many rich people do not dare to buy real estate in Hong Kong, so the land auction is very sluggish.

As soon as Hong Kong Governor Youde had a turn of his mind, he came up with this idea, and he made a few more phone calls to spread the news of the land auction, as long as someone was willing to take the lead, he would definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to stir up.

And now who is the most famous in Hong Kong, you don't need to guess to know, of course, it is Chen Xiaotang of Magic Shadow Entertainment!

Chen Xiaotang made 100 million yuan with one play, which has become a myth in the entire circle.

As long as this God of Wealth is willing to come out to bid, then it will definitely cause an auction earthquake, after all, what Chen Xiaotang fancies, it must be a treasure!

That's why Sir Youde took such great pains to call Chen Xiaotang in person and report the news.
