Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the opening ceremony, Andy Lau, representing the producer Phantom Hong Kong Company, brought cutting-edge directors Liang Lemin and 6 Jianqing to Guo Yingcheng, Liang Jiahui, Andy Lau, Li Zhiting, and Peng Yuyan.
The huge posters of five large men towered over the scene, and the character shapes of many leading actors broke through the past, among them, Guo Yingcheng's temples were white, showing the vicissitudes of life; Liang Jiahui has a mustache and is domineering and exposed; Li Zhiting, the commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, looks upright; And the youthful and sunny Peng Yuyan "self-destructed" his image and did not hesitate to show his bald head. Against the backdrop of deep and cold tones, the major characters are difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and Liu Dehua's poster uses the words "friendship starring" to confirm that he will not have too many scenes this time.
At the scene, Guo Yingcheng and Liu Dehua reunited, although there was not much communication throughout the whole process, but they also expressed their sympathy.
But Liu Dehua attended as a producer this time, this is the first Hong Kong film he led after joining Phantom, which naturally attracted a lot of attention. Coincidentally, many reporters at the scene asked him about Li Donglai.
"Andy, is gravity finished? I've heard that you're having a lot of problems. Why didn't Li Donglai come today? ”
Liu Dehua smiled all over his face, "It's not finished yet." We did encounter a big problem, and Li Donglai was scolded by the old engineer of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base, and he didn't dare to say a word back, and you would never have imagined that process. But whether he is a genius director is definitely very demanding, but we will overcome them one by one. As for why I didn't come today, it's because I'm here. He also has a movie that has been released recently, so he went to the United States to participate in the promotion. ”
"Can you tell me what happened to Li Donglai being scolded? Some of the problems you are facing. What is the real investment in Gravity? ”
I thought it would be enough to ask, but I didn't expect Li Donglai to come to Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong media would still be so popular. He hurriedly waved his hand, "Today is the screening of "Cold War". Let's ask more about movies. Donglai will come to Hong Kong sooner or later, and everyone will have to ask for themselves when the time comes. ”
Entering the movie screening hall, the audience was shocked by the initial shot.
Shooting from high altitude, overlooking the downward movement, full of cramped high-rise mirrors. Then turn to the flickering neon signs. The atmosphere of the movie has been given enough from the beginning, and it continues well.
In the midnight police force, a front-line assault vehicle was hijacked. The five police officers and weapons and equipment in the car became bargaining chips for the thieves.
The incident alarmed the police force, I don't know whether it was a coincidence or an accident, among the police officers who were hijacked in the assault car, there was the only son of the current Deputy Commissioner of Operations Li Man-bun, Lee Ka-chun (played by Pang and Yan), who happened to be the first brother of the police force visiting Copenhagen and did not return.
The two favorites for the election of the next director: the hawkish Li Wenbin (played by Liang Jiahui) and the young deputy director of the management office, Liu Jiehui (played by Guo Chengcheng), have begun to make a big move.
Lee immediately commanded the rescue. The operation was codenamed "Cold War". However, the thieves knew everything about the inside of the police force and had insight into the opportunities, and the elite of the police force did their best, but the operation was still fruitless, and he was restrained everywhere, and all his comrades began to doubt his decision-making and recommended Lau Kit-fai to take over the entire operation. At the critical moment, the two tigers competed, Liu Jiehui did not show weakness, different from Li's radical methods, he chose to take the initiative to communicate with the thief, and promised to pay the thief a ransom.
Throughout the ransom settlement process, Liu managed to leave clues for the ransom. In order to track down the location of the thief.
But the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, Liu not only can't find the trace of the thief, but also lost a huge amount of ransom, and his comrade Xu Yongji (played by Qian Jiale) who was born and died with Liu died in the process of paying the ransom, Liu felt guilty, and the Hong Kong police force fell into an unprecedented crisis and threat
As a result of the operation, $80 million in cash was lost in the treasury and two police officers were killed.
The incident not only alarmed the Government, but also the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), which received an anonymous tip-off. Two Deputy Commissioners are suspected, one of whom abused his power for personal gain at this critical juncture...... Hong Kong's security fell in an instant, and the loopholes in the police force and Hong Kong's governance were shaken out, threatening the police force and pointing the finger at the top of the force.
It turns out that Hong Kong is called the "safest city". Just didn't meet the real enemy!
……
The setting of the plot has been new, and a lot of effort has been put into the meticulousness of the plot, the rhythm is very tight, step by step, but some soft molecules are arranged in the right place to relieve this tension a little.
Tough and sharp and warm and soft blend together, gallop or slow, and the proportion is good.
There are breakthroughs in many shots of the movie, and the shots in the "aerial shooting" also break through the limitations of previous police and gangster films shot in 6 places. This time, "Cold War" specially airlifted the spacecam aerial photography system from the United States, and invited Ingrid, a helicopter with 2o years of flying experience and has filmed large-scale films such as "Batman 2", to shoot a bird's-eye view of Hong Kong.
This spacecam aerial photography system has a good shock absorption function, the lens can be rotated 27o degrees, and it is very stable to shoot high-altitude shots with this system, which is very popular in the American film industry, and it is also a unique equipment in the United States.
High-altitude filming allows the audience to see a different view of Hong Kong, but the filming process is far more difficult than imagined.
Hong Kong's air traffic control is very strict, not only to apply for filming time, but also to limit the height, direction, and location of shooting.
Therefore, filming a lot of wonderful high-altitude scenes will also bring fans a lot of surprises.
The next day, the big 6 and Hong Kong media received rave reviews for the movie.
"Cold War", as the most popular police film this year, not only soared at the box office, but also had a good reputation.
Since its release on November 8, "Cold War" has reached 9ooo at the weekly box office in the mainland, occupying the national box office list, and won the weekly box office championship with a reverse result of 93oo yuan the next week. In the third week, despite the attack of many blockbusters, "Cold War" still won nearly 3ooo box office, and the total box office in the mainland exceeded 230 million, breaking the highest box office record for Hong Kong films released in the mainland without suspense. With a strong reputation and strength, it is expected to continue to set a new high at the box office.
At the same time, "Cold War" is also very popular at the box office in Hong Kong. 、
According to the official figures of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the film set a record for the opening day of a Chinese film with HK$220,000 on the day of its release, with a box office of HK$42,686,613 from its release on November 18, 2012 to December 31, 2012. became the box office champion of the Chinese film year in 2o12,
In the end, with a box office income of HK$42,000, it ranked 17th in the cumulative box office of Chinese films in Hong Kong over the years.
Hong Kong local films, it has been a long time since there has been a 40 million box office, and it is simply incomparable with the 8o years.
The film has also been touted by many Hong Kong media as a work to save the city. The word-of-mouth has exploded all the way, and many factors have created a box office flight.
In addition, the box office of "Cold War" in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and other countries and regions around the world is also good. Among them, the film easily broke the opening records of domestic films such as "Sister Peach" and "Infernal Affairs 3" on Taiwan Island, and broke through the box office of RM2oo million in just 4 days in Malaysia. It has become the highest-grossing Chinese film in the country in the past three years for four days.
The total box office exceeded 300 million. The box office of 300 million may be the box office level of "People in Embarrassment", but it is the first big victory of Liu Dehua's Hong Kong company after it was classified as a phantom. greatly boosted morale, and also made the ink villain 1ogo of Phantom Company famous in Hong Kong for the first time in the form of a Hong Kong film.
in North America. On the weekend box office list of November 9th ~ 11th last weekend, after MGM announced bankruptcy, the 23rd "Bond" movie "OO7: Skyfall" (skyfa11), which was taken over by Sony, landed without suspense with a score of 8.78 million US dollars, which not only became the highest opening of "non-Harry" and "non-twilight" in November in film history, but also the best opening result of the OO7 series of films.
Since "OO7: Skyfall" has been released for half a month in the overseas market with the United Kingdom as the market, the release scope of this 23rd Bond has been expanded to 8O countries and regions. And went on to win $890,000 in the third week.
As of the end of this week, Skyfall's total overseas revenue has reached $428 million, which is basically the same as Casino Royale's $431 million, and it will be two to three days before it breaks its box office cap and becomes the top of the Bond series.
In the third week of the global official release, Bond's hometown of the United Kingdom was still unbeatable, ranking first with a weekly income of $1.82 million.
So far, the box office of "Skyfall" in the UK alone has reached 117 million US dollars, and "The Dark Knight Rises" has become the highest box office in the UK this year.
According to this box office trend, it is very likely to break the $150 million of "Avatar". Also outstanding is the 1.51 million in Germany this week, and the revenue of OO7 in Germany has exceeded 440,000 US dollars. Ranked second in the German box office in 2o12.
By the way, as of this week, the overseas revenue of "Skyfall" is 425 million + 8.78 million in North America = $518 million. It is only one step away from the "highest Bond" box office of "Casino Royale" of 599 million, and this result will be refreshed next weekend.
Since the film has not yet been released in China and Japan, which are the second and third largest box office in the world, including Australia, one of the box office destinations, it still has a strong room for box office growth. At this stage, it seems that the global box office exceeds 900 million US dollars is not a problem, and it has the strength to hit 1o billion US dollars.
There are many reasons for the popularity of "Skyfall", but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than three words: "attention"! Since MGM announced its official bankruptcy reorganization, the whereabouts of Bond movies have become a topic of great concern to fans.
After struggling in the maelstrom of MGM's bankruptcy and finally settling in Sony, the London Olympics accompanied the Queen's idea of "falling from the sky", and invisibly made a global giant advertisement for the film's "skyfa11" (could it be that this idea was discussed between the crew and the London Olympic Organizing Committee?). This operation is also too powerful) plus this year is the 5O anniversary of Bond's birth, starting from the Museum of Modern Art in the collection of the first 22 Bond titles, the months-long Bond Culture Month, Bond concerts across the ocean, Bond theme cultural exhibitions, Bond prop auctions, etc., have become strong publicity for the film.
This "Skyfall" is undoubtedly a success, but it puts Li Donglai in a difficult situation.
