"Infernal Affairs" is a classic, but it is only a Chinese classic.

Its distribution work has been done for more than a year, until the Berlin International Film Festival in 04, Liu Weiqiang also came to sell films with a trilogy, which shows that Cheng Dù is hard to do. And the last overseas box office also hit the street to death.

In fact, film critics are quite optimistic, but the audience doesn't buy it, because it is a commercial film, and it is especially a non-kung fu commercial film.

If you want to promote a Hong Kong-made police movie in Europe, how much brains do you have to open? The people of Europa don't like to watch this kind of film, and even if they are interested, they will buy a DVD at most and collect it at home, and they will rarely pay for it in the theater.

The more counterparts are the Americans.

But with Hollywood's urine and cultural differences, it is impossible to explode for "Infernal Affairs", what they really want is this script.

As for the five major actors, epic temperament, and a work to save the city...... Come on! Do you think Hollywood is hanging these? In their eyes, except for the novel idea of double undercover, everything else is scum.

So the question is, is Mao's "Infernal Affairs" series still so popular, known as a powerful shock at home and abroad?

Hehe, the government zhì needs.

Chu Qing didn't have much to pay attention to these, "Blind Well" was about to premiere, and he was busy attending press conferences, interviews, and various official activities.

As one of the 22 works in the main competition unit, "The Blind Well" and another French film "His Brother" are the only ones that have not appeared.

It is said that the overall trend of the film festival has become clearer so far. Perhaps coincidentally, many films this year focus on those heavy political themes, such as "Between Earths", which tells about Afghan refugees, "The Life of David Geller", which is anti-death penalty system, and "Goodbye Lenin", which is nostalgic for the life of the Germans themselves.

It's not strange to the folks, that's what Berlin is all about.

Of course, the media is more concerned about the attribution of specific awards, and they have made predictions: the Golden Bear Award will probably be produced in "Goodbye Lenin" and "Adapted Script"; The actress crown can't escape one of the three heroines of "All the Time", Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Meryl Streep.

As for the actor. The undisciplined reporter awarded the stunning Nicolas Cage early.

Yiqiē seems to have settled down, just waiting for this hustle and bustle to end.

……

On the evening of February 13, it was cold.

Chu Qing did not have the treatment of Lao Mouzi, and was only arranged in a screening hall with about 500 people. But because it was a competition film, Chairman Koslick still came to cheer in person.

The two sides exchanged a few polite words, embarrassed and embarrassed to come and go, a little speechless.

Chu Qing was snorting haha, staring at the entrance with his spare eyes, feeling a little unremarkable. They didn't have much money for publicity, so they could only print simple posters and leaflets. Posted on the buildings around the venue, there are large stills, the time and place of the premiere, and an introduction to the content.

It's shabby, so he doesn't know how many people will come today.

After chatting for a while, the guests arrived in turn, except for Du Qifeng, who flew back to Hong Kong, and the rest gathered. He handed Koslick to Li Yang and stood at the door with Fan Xiaoye. One by one, they were welcomed.

Then there are film critics and journalists from all over the world.

In the end, it is the audience who pays for the ticket.

There weren't many people, so they walked in twos and threes. But there is no gap. When the preparations were completed and the screening was about to be shown, Chu Qing looked around and actually sat eighty percent.

They are in the middle of the front row. Behind is the press gallery, and there is a foreign girl who seems to recognize him and takes the initiative to say hello. Said: "Hi, Chu! Glad to see your new work. ”

"Oh, thank you very much, may I ask ...... you" Chu Qing asked in a straightforward colloquial voice.

"I'm French, a reporter for Variety."

No wonder!

When he was in Cannes, he brushed his face in the magazine for three days in a row, and this girl may have attended his meeting.

Chu Qing was a little relieved, and his vanity was slightly satisfied.

After a while, the lights dimmed and the movie was officially shown.

At the beginning of the film, there is the private coal mine, which is covered with a staggered dirt road, and the workers are like rats, coming out of the mud huts.

The picture sense of "Blind Well" is very unique, just like following the actor behind the actor to shoot with him, which is so real that even the scattered dust can be seen.

All of you here are industry experts, and you have a deep understanding of China's independent film style, and have seen too many similar ones: rough, raw, synchronized sound quality, and dirty people and scenes.

So as soon as this opening came out, they were not much surprised, on the contrary, many people were greatly disappointed: old-fashioned!

But then, Song Jinming got into the tank cage, the rope loosened, and several people continued to descend along the narrow mine, and darkness poured into the picture with a trace.

At this moment, the angle suddenly turned, straight to the wellhead, farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, as if watching the only light gradually dissipate.

This shot is very, very tire-wrenching.

instantly held the attention of the audience, and they vaguely realized that this movie seemed to be a little different.

And then, the waist-down cave, the weak lights, the brackets that could collapse at any moment, the sound of broken footsteps, and the terrifying underground shooting...... Once again, it refreshed everyone's perception.

This set of shots came out, and the audience was silent.

Until Song Jinming smiled and waved his pickaxe and said, "I'll send you home!" ”

"Bang!"

Slammed it on the man's head.

"Phew!"

The hair of the film critic stood up, and a strong emotion surged in his heart, which was about to burst out.

There are no tricky long shots, no messy voiceovers, and no veiled political rebellion. is so straightforward, so naked, the desire and humanity are brought to you, making you jaw-dropping.

Human nature can be seen in a Chinese movie, and it is still dark to the end. That alone is enough for them to write 30,000 words in anger.

As for Fan Xiaoye in front, she was completely shocked, she couldn't figure out before, what kind of movie can make an actor suffer from depression?

And now, she looked at the extremely familiar person on the screen, dirty, rude, cold, and even had sex with a LOW exploded **excited* sex.

She was suddenly a little scared, turned her head to look at her husband, and didn't know if this person was real or a phantom.

Chu Qing noticed the gaze, and also turned her head, as if she felt her thoughts, grabbed her eyelids with her hand, pulled them down, and made an ugly grimace.

"Poof!"

Fan Xiaoye hurriedly covered his mouth and kicked him hard.

The movie has been played for a while, and at first some people paid attention to Tang Chaoyang or Yuan Fengming. But unconsciously, Song Jinming has become the absolute protagonist, film critics, reporters, and audiences, as long as they see him appear, they can't help but be driven by love.

Under the rough scolding of Yuan Fengming, the hidden kindness.

Knowing that the baby was sick, that face was as dead as ashes.

Smoking on the mound at midnight, his eyes turned from tangled to murderous......

Everybody, all of them struggled with his struggles, and went crazy with his madness. This kind of affection, every time the picture is presented, everyone backlogs a little bit, and it is heavily blocked in the chest.

At the end, he and Tang Chaoyang were beating in the mine like beasts, the "rustling" gravel fell, the "bang" fists and feet intersected, and the "whirring" rough panting.

Then, Song Jinming swung his pickaxe again and smashed it on the dead meat.

He laughed and said that the second uncle is lame, you come and help me.

Yuan Fengming turned around and ran, and the whistle sounded.

In a cemetery-like cave, the figure limped and desperately walked out.

"Boom", all collapsed!

……

Everyone's feelings reached the highest point in an instant, and they wanted to vent, but they were stuck in their throats again.

At the end of the screening, Li Yang was almost slumped in his chair, afraid to move, because no one applauded, no one cheered, and no one even made a noise.

Koslick frowned, which had never happened before at the festival, and he held the microphone to calm the mood. I saw Chu Qing suddenly stand up and look back curiously.

And in the next second, a spectator not far away stood up.

Then, a whole row of spectators stood up.

Finally, the audience stood up.

The big screen in front of me was still bright, slowly scrolling through the list of makers, and after about a minute, it was completely darkened.

One minute, sixty seconds, the film is 24 frames per second of reality, and now, the reality extends beyond the film, turning into 1440 frames of silence.

Silent......

Some love needs to be paid tribute to with happiness; Some history needs to be paid with remembrance; Some deaths need to be paid tribute to with grief; Some are warm and need to be saluted with a smile......

But at this moment, everyone just wants to use silence to pay tribute to life, to this movie, to the crew who risked death in exchange for this movie, and to Chu Qing who tried his best to make them feel shocked and trembling. (To be continued......)
