Chapter 374 "Infernal Affairs" launch conference

Infernal Affairs.

The scarf of Li Chencan's personal studio, as well as Li Chencan's own scarf, all have the name of this movie, as well as some general introductions of this movie.

At this moment, everyone knows that Li Chencan is going to start filming a new movie!

All of them know this.

Since "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", many people have also known Li Chencan's ability to make movies, and that film has also affected many people, and it has also caused a wave of nostalgia.

Therefore, when Li Chencan said that he wanted to shoot a new movie, many people also said that they could understand and expressed their support and blessings.

However, for the genre of this film, many people can't help but be taken aback.

Cop movie!

Police films are also a relatively unique kind of films at the Imperial Film Festival, not that other countries don't have them, but Imperial police films are very classic......

Although the empire has a much lower crime rate than other developed countries, especially compared with countries like the United States, it may be because Chinese has had the art of war since his civilized childhood, and he is good at engaging in these psychological things, while the real combat skills of Chinese kung fu may only be in the hands of a few people, but if it is only used for performance, talk about the pleasing effect of the performance...... There is really no one else in the whole world.

Therefore, heart + action has become the golden sign of the imperial police and gangster films.

But in this world, many things are booming and declining, and the empire's police and gangster films have developed to their current glory. It has also slowly entered a bottleneck.

When playing psychological warfare, it's hard to come up with tricks, and if you play action...... It's the same as the blockbusters in China and the United States. After watching too much, everyone began to get tired of it, and began to be immune to special effects and action scenes......

Therefore, filming police movies faces several situations -

The first is to shoot according to the routine in a down-to-earth manner, concise and to the point, sharply edited, and use simple plot stacking actions. and then put more money into publicity, and take a box office that will not be outrageously high or ridiculously low, this is a routine movie.

The second. Psychologically, I also try to shoot according to the routine, put old wine in new bottles, and carefully use the time bomb principle in the movie (that is, set a goal in front of the protagonists of the movie that will have a tragic ending if it is not completed within a certain time, the simplest example. Gravity. There is always danger chasing the heroine behind her, and if you don't finish those within a certain time, the heroine will die), increase the tension of the movie, increase publicity, and the box office will still not be too high, nor too low.

The third is innovation...... Whether it's in action scenes. Or in the psychological scene, or a combination of the two to achieve an innovation. It's hard to say about this kind of innovation. Some people may soar because of such an innovative film, but more people fall into the dust and become penniless in the embarrassment of not being innovative.

Li Chencan, which way will he go?

Whether it is Li Chencan's fans, or some other people who know him better, I don't know why Lu Dao is, they always have a premonition in their hearts - Li Chencan will definitely choose the latter one!

Soon, the launch conference of "Infernal Affairs" was officially held in Xiangjiang.

The background of this movie is still set in Xiangjiang.

Although the Xiangjiang River in this world was recovered very early, because this side came into contact with Western ideas relatively early, and was once the pearl of the Far East of the British Empire, it was much more chaotic here anyway. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was directly faced with the general environment of the early 20 th century, but there were no people who feared, discriminated against, and hated the mainland compatriots.

Later, the city went through all kinds of turmoil and crises, because without Britain, it was in a very ordinary situation, and it did not have any status as the financial center of Asia. Therefore, the scale and influence of Xiangjiang in this time and space cannot be compared with another time and space, its influence here is similar to that of Nanyun's Spring City, of course, the Spring City here is much larger than the Spring City over there, after all, the empire of this time and space is completely integrated with Southeast Asia, and Nanyun's strategic position and economic status are much higher.

Such a Xiangjiang has not given birth to a very brilliant film and song culture, and the people here and Taiwan, like all Chinese, write simplified Chinese characters and speak Mandarin, and no one says that they have the idea of superiority......

However, this side of the Xiangjiang River is bordering Southeast Asia, and it was after the First World War that the Taizu at that time threatened to cut off the water source to get the British to return the Xiangjiang. Therefore, the ideas of many Westerners have the deepest influence here, and the collision of Eastern and Western cultures is particularly intense, which has formed their unique cultural and social environment...... So here is now Chinese black. One of the most rampant areas of the Gang, people here are also faced with more choices.

Although it is said that the empire is black. Gangs are much more rampant than China in another time and space, and they are like that in most cities, but Li Chencan finally chose the relatively more rampant Xiangjiang, not to mention, "Infernal Affairs" in another time and space is also the work of Xiangjiang people.

The crew is now on the filming set over there, and there are still many things that have been prepared, and they have also communicated with the police station over there, and they can solve things like road closures. Even with the black over there. Help to connect, this is the unspoken rule, after paying the protection fee, there is nothing to do.

There is no way, the flood of capital will always bring some malignant things, and in the capitalist environment, it is the uncle's thoughts that bring about tumors that go deep into the bones and blood.

And today, the launch ceremony of "Infernal Affairs" is officially held here.

More than 40 media came to the scene, and it can be seen that Li Chencan is now in the film industry, not because of the right to speak, but mainly because of the improvement of everyone's recognition of him, and many people pay attention to his new movies because of his films.

A huge poster is behind Li Chencan, which has some similarities with "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

This huge poster is more than two meters high and more than six meters long, the picture is mainly cyan and black, the face on the left is Lu Weidong's, he plays the role of undercover Ma Zai here, that is, the role of Liu Jianming, and the face on the right is Li Song, who plays the role of the undercover policeman, that is, the role of Chen Yongren.

Lu Weidong on the left, his face is cyan below and black above, and Li Song is black below and cyan above......

This has also hinted at some of the tangle between the two of them.

In the middle of the poster, there are three big words: Infernal Affairs.

Starring: Lu Weidong, Li Song. Director: Li Chencan.

Such a poster, of course, knows what it means to those who have read the script, but for the media at the scene, it is more of an unbelievable ...... Anyway, if they want to break their heads, they don't know what this means.

The media focused on Li Chencan, wanting to find the answer from his face.

"Director Li, why do you want to use the name "Infernal Affairs"? This is obviously a Buddhist term, right? Used in police films, what does this mean? Some people speculate that this is because there is a monster that seems to come out of Infernal Hell, and the police expose this conspiracy, so this is a suspense detective cop movie, right? ”

In fact, this is a question that many people, including film professionals, cannot understand.

Cops and Infernal Affairs...... This always makes everyone feel that there is no way to get involved.

Li Chencan smiled slightly, these reporters finally began to slowly get used to the title of Director Li...... Maybe other people are used to it, but from Li Chencan's point of view, it all feels good to return to his favorite film field.

Of course, he also found it a little funny about everyone's crazy speculation......

After a deep sigh, Li Chencan said: "In this movie of mine, "Infernal Affairs" is not a person or a kind of confusion...... I'm talking about "Infernal Affairs" as a kind of psychology. Yes, 'Infernal Affairs' is a Buddhist term, and it is the most bitter of the eight hells in Buddhist scriptures, and it is also the most bottom-reading layer of the so-called eighteen layers of hell. In my case, this is a metaphor for the state of the two protagonists. Both of them fell into entanglement because of their mistakes, and every day they lived in an endless hell caused by the surrounding environment and various pressures, and every minute and second was not peaceful. The name of the movie is also called "Infernal Affairs", which represents their torture. ”

"So, the environment they face is like the most bitter infernal hell, although on the surface it seems that their lives are the same as ordinary people, but in fact, they are suffering the most cruel torture at every moment."

After Li Chencan said this, he saw that many reporters were still looking at him.

However, everyone also knows the meaning of the name......

Well, it feels like he's going to play with the creative flow! Sure enough, as many people imagine, this guy always has all kinds of wild ideas.

"So what exactly is this about? Why would two people fall into such an environment? The reporters immediately asked, "Moreover, does this environment have anything to do with the story of the police and bandits fighting?" ”

Li Chencan smiled: "With such an answer, let's wait until the movie is officially released!" The movie will give the answer! Of course, I can also guarantee that this is quite a wonderful story! And I will bring you a new concept of police and gangster films, such a story structure and creativity, which you have not seen in previous police and gangster films! He said this very confidently, and people were almost infected by his confidence.

What's more, after "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", everyone assured Li Chencan that his movies would be very exciting, and they also had enough trust.

Although he suddenly jumped to a police movie, everyone's trust is still there.
