Chapter 389: Amazing Creativity
The initial attention of "Infernal Affairs" came from Li Chencan, and from the fact that this was his movie after "Those Years".
After that, it came from Li Chencan's innovation in police and gangster films, and this tone infected everyone. Let everyone look forward to this movie very much.
This expectation has also continued to the present, but although there has been news such as the completion of "Infernal Affairs", on the whole, there is not much news about the movie, at most only some stills appear, but it is difficult to explain anything about such things as stills.
Now, the highlight version and trailer have finally been released, and many people immediately want to see what Li Chencan's so-called innovation in police films is.
On the commercial screening unit, the news of the seven-minute essence version of "Infernal Affairs" was also released as soon as possible, and many filmmakers began to come to watch.
Although Li Chencan is not ranked at all in the director's circle, he is still very useful in the eyes of film companies, especially now that Li Chencan's novels, songs, and movies have a huge reputation abroad, this person's name can also attract some attention and box office, so many foreign film companies, and even domestic curious film companies and directors have also been attracted to come over.
The essence version of "Infernal Affairs" will soon start playing.
This is a clip clip that has been carefully selected by Li Chencan, and what Li Chencan wants to achieve here is an effect that can attract everyone and make everyone itch, but he will not know too much of the content of the movie. It is very difficult to achieve such an effect, and it took Li Chencan a huge amount of time to really select and edit it. And it was already on the twenty-third that this clip was made.
In three days, the Yenching International Film Festival will come to an end. The filmmakers and fans who gathered in Yanjing will also disperse.
In the hall where the essence version of "Infernal Affairs" was played, there were more than 100 people sitting here, including media reporters, major film companies, and some directors, including some competitors on the schedule of "Infernal Affairs".
Many people are maintaining a different attitude to see the advancement and development of this essential version of the movie.
Soon, the essence version officially began to play.
At the beginning, it was the shot of Han Chen sending an undercover agent to the police force.
Inserting an undercover agent into the police force is a routine in many police and gangster films. However, everyone is an experienced person, and they didn't say much about this matter, but looked forward to the next development.
On the other side. It's another picture of Officer Huang planting an undercover agent for Black-Dao......
Two undercover agents!
Two lines?
Many people suddenly understood why this movie should use Li Song and Lu Weidong to play this film, and they all found that this is a two-line movie.
"Is that the idea behind the movie?" Many people are saying it in their hearts, and they also feel that this is not particularly attractive, but after the lens of this essence version begins to advance. Everyone felt the difference in this film.
"Three years and three years!" Chan was complaining to Officer Huang. On the other hand, Liu Jianming was also a little impatient because of Han Chen's call.
At this moment, everyone began to feel why this movie should be called "Infernal Affairs".
With the development of the essence version of the clip, everyone quickly understood where the idea of this movie was, that is, to watch two people constantly suffering, and they both wanted to find each other, and people on both sides kept intersecting in such confrontations, and the two people strung together a story. The two threads are interspersed with a wonderful story.
After the seven-minute highlight version passed, many of the people present were a little dignified.
They all understood what Li Chencan said about "Infernal Affairs", which made a lot of innovations in police and gangster films.
This is a two-man movie in which two people swap identities and then intertwine a showdown with each other. This is a change of face and a breakthrough in the plot.
When the essence version of the movie has been played, the thoughts in everyone's hearts do not end there, but keep flashing in the hearts of many people.
"This film...... I've got to talk about it, or someone else will buy the copyright. Soon, many people had already made this decision in their minds.
These filmmakers are basically people with a keen sense of smell, through this seven-minute essence version, they have long seen the power of "Infernal Affairs", and immediately became strongly interested in this movie, those directors are the most sluggish, but their slow response does not mean that they have no feeling for this movie, but they have been thinking about the things shown in this movie for a long time, especially the kind of innovation shown by the movie, which everyone can feel.
"This kid is really going to create a new genre...... some directors are quite envious and jealous in their hearts: "Two people who exchange identities with each other, and they each have intersections, and they both want to find out each other, and they themselves live in the Infernal Hell!" What a great idea! ”
Directors have a much higher sensitivity to the feeling of the movie on many levels, and they can judge many details of the movie through some small things.
However, there are also many directors who shake their heads in their hearts and sigh: "Although this is a new genre, basically Li Chencan has blocked the next road of this genre, indeed, this movie genre is quite exciting, but if you shoot a similar film, it can only be within the framework of Li Chencan's structure, then it can only be a similar movie, everyone can see at a glance that it is a work that follows the trend, it is difficult to escape from this trap, and it is really ......difficult to express the movie in a different way."
Li Chencan, who was basically completely ignored in this director's circle before, has now attracted the interest of many directors present, because some of the things shown in this film are enough to make them have a lot of curiosity about Li Chencan and this movie.
Indeed, the movie "Infernal Affairs" is somewhat similar to "Source Code" in another time and space, the creativity of this kind of movie is very amazing, but it is too difficult to really recreate a film genre with the help of this idea, so everyone will know that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a sci-fi version of "Source Code" at a glance, even if it changes a shell and changes the word, it is still the same.
"Infernal Affairs" is the same, if everyone shoots the idea of swapping identities again, it will be difficult to escape from what some people say about them - it's just that "Infernal Affairs" has changed its shell.
Of course, the idea of "Source Code" itself also comes from "Butterfly Effect", which is different from "Infernal Affairs".
...... more than a minute trailer of "Infernal Affairs" also appeared on the Internet, starting with Han Chen and Officer Huang sending their own undercover agents to each other at the same time.
Many veteran fans can instantly feel the subtlety of this story, and this kind of exchange of identities can really bring many wonderful stories at once. Sure enough, the next trailer began to show the confrontation between the two people, the kind of fierce duel that both wanted to dig out each other, but the final result of the duel between the two people has not been told here.
"Smack!" Han Chen directly smashed the plaster on Chen Yongren's hand at once.
"Bang bang!" The police and several bandits opened fire on the street.
These images flashed by, all of which proved that the fierce confrontation between the police and the bandits, this fierce confrontation will inevitably collide with more sparks.
Soon, these strong collisions suddenly stopped, and the picture flashed, on the rooftop, Chen Yongren put a gun against Liu Jianming's waist.
"A life-and-death showdown." Four big characters jump in the center of the picture.
"Give me a chance, I want to be a good person." Liu Jianming's voice sounded.
"I'm sorry, I'm a police officer." Chen Yongren seemed to have a smile on his lips.
After these two sentences, the big letters above the trailer read: "Whose hand is the deer dead." ”
This seems to be a picture of a police victory, and the sudden appearance of this deer killing has made everyone have more speculation.
Then, the corners of Liu Jianming's mouth seemed to have a mockery: "Who knows how to ...... Dao"
Sure enough, the situation immediately became full of complexity, and the complex duel between the two people had just unfolded The tip of the iceberg in the trailer has already attracted everyone who sees this trailer.
All of a sudden, the internet was filled with all sorts of exclamations.
Many veteran fans have long felt the amazing hidden in this theme.
No wonder Li Chencan said that he created a new genre! So that's it! It turned out to be an identity swap! But that's really interesting! No one thought about it at all before. ”
"What an amazing idea...... I'm also looking forward to the story that is intertwined in this way, not to mention whether the movie is good or bad, at least the idea has attracted me, and Li Chencan's trailer is very successful. ”
"Li Chencan, this guy, this has also made a crossover contribution to the movie! Check out this Infernal Affairs story, it's definitely great! The idea of adding the name of the movie to this is very powerful in itself. ”
However, there are still a lot of negative reviews, after all, there are good and bad reviews for a movie, let alone just a trailer-
"I don't know what to do, what is the life-and-death duel, what is the amazing idea, what I see is just inexplicable, I don't know what to do! Li Chencan is too young! ”
"Li Chencan's so-called amazing idea this time is really uninteresting, is it the so-called identity exchange? This is the idea of the yarn! I guess the movie sucks too! ”
There are a lot of these bad reviews, and the controversy over the movie has begun to appear, of course, from the current point of view, there are still more positive reviews than bad reviews, and many people have become very interested in the movie because of this trailer, and they are looking forward to the official release of the movie in September.
