Chapter 326: Xu Ji, indeed NB
Sure enough, it was similar to what Xu Ji thought.
He and Sha Yetong were mixed in the crowd and were really unrecognized.
But unfortunately, fireworks have been banned in the city of Shanghai.
On New Year's Eve, a large group of people gathered together to watch electronic fireworks on the big screen of a high-rise building.
Such a scene is a little funny at the same time, but it makes Sha Yetong feel novel.
After watching the fireworks, the two went to buy some barbecue and returned to the hotel for supper.
As You Man said before, after all, there is still business tomorrow.
After eating supper, the two rested.
Speaking of which, this is the earliest time that the two slept on New Year's Eve in so many years.
However, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong didn't think there was anything.
The two have known each other for so long since they were children, although they do feel like they are in love when they first fall in love.
But slowly, the relationship began to return to the original peace.
This is also the mode in which the two are most comfortable getting along.
......
On New Year's Day, a number of films, including "Infernal Affairs", ushered in their premieres.
In fact, this is not the first time that Sang Shaolong has been invited to a similar premiere.
But this time it was a little different.
After all, this is the director he has seen the most works, Xu Ji's movie.
And before, although he was invited to the premiere, many filmmakers would invite them to help promote, and even prepared publicity money or something.
I just want them to help me say good things after watching the movie.
Sang Shaolong didn't agree, or he wouldn't let him come to the premiere.
Otherwise, if you are given a bad position, you will be completely regarded as an ordinary audience.
And in addition to the media and film critics, most of the premieres are actually fans of the starring actors, or friends of the creators.
But this time, Xu Ji came directly to the real thing.
In just a few minutes after entering the theater, Sang Shaolong saw a lot of his peers.
Not only these self-media people, but also a lot of entertainment media.
From the current point of view, there are basically no fans and groups of relatives and friends who cheer on the scene.
"It seems that Xu Ji is very confident in his movie this time!"
As soon as Sang Shaolong finished talking to himself, he immediately laughed.
Xu Ji, when did he lose confidence in his works?
And so far, Xu Ji is indeed one of the few directors who have not made bad movies and bad dramas.
Although Xu Ji has a lot of black fans and a lot of controversy, as a director, no one will question the reputation of his work.
......
"Brother Long?"
Hearing someone call himself, Sang Shaolong subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out that it was the same G station up master "Lynx watching films" like himself.
Although the other party's fans are only more than one million at present.
But the growth rate is fast, reaching one million fans in less than half a year last year.
Although the current top 100 of station G has not yet come out, basically the two of them, as the first brother in the film and television area and the most dazzling newcomer, belong to the kind that has a great chance of winning awards.
However, unlike Sang Shaolong, the main style of the other party's video is still based on complaining.
And it's not the kind that just complains about bad movies, it's basically full coverage, and he will be caught if there is a slight problem.
This also leads to the fact that this up master is not very well received by the filmmakers of movies or TV series.
There has also been news of him fighting lawsuits with several film producers before.
In fact, Sang Shaolong was also in this style a long time ago.
It really is the fastest way to get traffic.
But then Sang Shaolong's video began to slowly converge its edge.
Although I still make videos of poisonous tongues and complaints, more of them are still leaning towards Amway's commentary.
"I didn't expect you to come too?"
Sang Shaolong was still a little surprised that the lynx was able to come to the movie premiere.
After all, the other party's video style is really unpleasant, and it is estimated that except for Xu Ji, other film investors will not invite such a self-media to attend their premieres.
"I didn't expect that either."
She Li replied.
He also knows that he is basically in a bunch of film and television companies in the entertainment industry now, and everyone is shouting and beating.
Even many celebrities have blacklisted him.
He has actually posted a lot of videos about Xu Ji before, all of which are of the type of complaint.
At that time, the number of views and the influence of all aspects of that video were not small.
So when he received the news from Tongji Entertainment, he felt incredible.
......
The UP masters of the two film and television areas sat together, and before the movie officially started, they naturally discussed about the movie Xu Ji.
"I think Xu Ji may be playing tricks."
"It's been so long since the decline of Hong Kong films, it's not that he can be saved by himself."
"I don't look at how poor the quality of Hong Kong films is now, all bad movies."
"Although there is a certain factor of lack of money, it is still the reason why there has been no development of movies in Hong Kong City for so many years."
After hearing Sang Shaolong say that he felt that Xu Ji's movie was likely to be the champion of the New Year's Day file, She Li gave his own sharp comments.
Sang Shaolong was noncommittal about such an idea of the lynx.
In fact, he felt that the lynx had fallen into some misunderstandings because of making videos.
Watching a movie is not about watching the movie itself, but about finding faults.
"Don't look at Xu Ji, he invited me to the premiere."
"But I confiscated his money, and he invited me to come, so if there is a problem with this movie, I will definitely point it out."
She Li opened his mouth to show his attitude.
"You confiscated the money, did you?"
Sang Shaolong couldn't help frowning when he heard the other party's joking words.
The two don't know each other very well, at most, they have met a few times when they met in Shanghai before.
He doesn't like people who don't have a sense of boundaries like this.
"Nope."
"I'll be honest when the time comes."
"I won't boast or be embarrassed."
When Sang Shaolong said "embarrassing black", he deliberately accentuated his tone.
This is a point that is often criticized by the other party.
Some films are indeed recognized as bad movies, and there is nothing wrong with complaining.
But many of the videos made by Lynx, the up master, are actually to attract people's attention, and then deliberately find some so-called slots.
When Sang Shaolong first started, he felt that some of the other party's angles were indeed relatively novel, and there were still things.
But after a few contacts, he basically confirmed that in this person's eyes, traffic and popularity are the most important.
However, for such a situation, Sang Shaolong is also commonplace, so he doesn't have a big opinion on lynx.
Otherwise, the two would not have been able to greet each other when they met.
......
There were still a lot of people who came to the premiere this time, and basically all the people who were invited came.
The theater was also full.
According to the process, before the film starts to be screened, Xu Ji, as the director, needs to come on stage to say a few words.
However, Xu Ji directly avoided this link and directly began to play the movie.
......
With the appearance of the dragon mark, the beginning is still the familiar opening animation of Tongji Entertainment.
Xu Ji's movies are basically invested by his own company, which is not surprising.
But then, a line of white letters appeared on the black screen.
"Nirvana Sutra, Volume 19"
"The most of the eight hells, called the Infernal Hell, means to suffer great suffering without interruption, hence the name"
......
The movie kicked off in the worship urn of Han Chen, the eldest brother of the underworld, and gave a lecture to the younger brother.
Because of his previous experience, Han Chen was afraid that he would die at the hands of the police, so he selected seven clean newcomers from among his subordinates and asked them to go to the police academy and become sir after they came out.
At the same time, a man named Chen Yongren in the police academy became the first in the same period with his amazing insight and excellent memory.
And after Chen Yongren met with a police officer named Huang Sir, he left the police academy and became an undercover agent.
......
Not long after the movie began, Sang Shaolong's previous guess was verified.
Sure enough, "Infernal Affairs" is a movie with the theme of undercover, but the only difference is that it is not simply about the undercover of the police, but both parties have sent undercover agents.
After all, it was revealed that they were the double protagonists of the two actors, so Sang Shaolong also analyzed that it would not be so simple.
Such a plot is one of the possibilities that Sang Shaolong guessed before.
......
What follows is a quick clip that directly explains the process of the two protagonists starting from their respective bottoms and climbing upwards.
And after this clip without any narration, without any introduction.
The original two young protagonists have also become two actors well-known to the audience at this time.
......
"Obviously said three years, three years after three years, three years after three years, three years after three years, it's almost ten years boss!"
On the rooftop, Chen Yongren, who has been an undercover agent for almost ten years, can no longer see the shadow of the first place in the police academy, with a scruffy beard and a gangster appearance.
On the other hand, Liu Jianming, who was an undercover agent for the police, was dressed brightly at this time, and he had obviously integrated into his identity as a policeman.
What followed was the first encounter between the two as undercover agents.
Chen Yongren successfully spread the news of Han Chen's transaction by knocking on the Morse code on the windowsill.
But it was this information that also made Liu Jianming, who was also an undercover agent, discover the clues.
He sent a message to remind Han Chen.
"There's an inner ghost who terminates the deal."
Chen Yongren, who was wearing a plaster, became the object of suspicion, but after Han Chen knocked on the plaster on the other party's hand, he did not find anything abnormal.
At this time, the camera panned out of the window, and it turned out that Chen Yongren had tied the device to convey the details outside the window.
......
Although he was not caught, his own deal was ruined.
Next, Huang Sir found Han Chen, saying that he had found Han Chen's two younger brothers, and asked the other party to follow him to the police station to sit.
Han Chen, who knew that the other party had no evidence, was naturally not afraid at all.
In the police station, Han Chen was not afraid at all, but regarded it as his own territory, eating a boxed lunch with relish.
Huang Sir came over and sat down, and the two exchanged words a few times again.
And when he heard the other party say that he had lost thousands of yuan this time, Han Chen suddenly swept the lunch box in front of him to the ground.
Because he lost not a few thousand, but more than 10 million.
At this time, both of them already knew that the other party had planted an undercover agent by their side.
At this point, the first act is over, and the background of the story is clearly explained.
At this time, Sang Shaolong and the others in the theater were already completely immersed in the plot.
Sang Shaolong felt that the plot was exciting, and on the other hand, he felt that the old actors in Hong Kong City invited by Xu Ji this time were simply amazing.
Until now, basically every scene has been playing with each other.
A proper feast for the eyes.
And She Li, who was beside him, didn't know if he was watching too seriously or still finding fault, staring at the movie screen without blinking.
......
In the next hour or so, as the plot of the movie developed, the hearts of the theater audience were also suspended.
The life and death of Huang Sir, the joint efforts of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, and the life and death of Han Chen.
Liu Jianming's identity was discovered by Chen Yongren.
In the confrontation between the two on the rooftop, Liu Jianming confessed that he wanted to be a good person, but Chen Yongren asked him to tell the judge.
Next, other undercover agents sent by Han Chen appeared, and Chen Yongren finally died.
The plot of the movie is almost one link after another, and the design is very clever.
Until the end of the movie, Sang Shaolong felt a little lost on the one hand, and at the same time felt very happy.
It's been a long time since he's seen such a great movie.
Especially if it is still a commercial film, the plot can be designed so perfectly, and the actors' performances are all kinds of famous scenes.
Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs" is simply amazing.
......
The lights of the theater slowly came on.
The audience was a little unresponsive at first, and then they began to applaud.
Even She Li, who was next to Sang Shaolong, applauded from the bottom of his heart at this time.
At the same time, he also said in the direction of Sang Shaolong: "Xu Ji, it is indeed NB." ”
As for what he said before, he was here to find fault, it seems that he has long been forgotten.
Sang Shaolong was also very excited after reacting.
This "Infernal Affairs" is even more divine than the original "Wushuang"!
It can definitely be regarded as the masterpiece of Xu Ji's movie.
Although Xu Ji has only made two movies so far.
Many people have discussed before that Xu Ji intends to revive Hong Kong films, but in fact, Sang Shaolong himself doesn't care much.
After all, he felt that such a statement was too false and empty, even if it was Xu Qi, it was a little unrealistic.
But at this time, he suddenly felt that maybe it was not impossible.
The quality and level of this "Infernal Affairs", even in the years when Hong Kong films were flourishing, can definitely be regarded as a classic level that has been discussed by fans to this day.
......
As for the so-called movie box office or something, although the competition in the New Year's Day stalls is so fierce this time, and Sang Shaolong only watched this movie.
But it is almost certain that it will be even more exaggerated than he predicted.
There is even a high possibility that it will become a one-sided massacre of Xu Ji and this "Infernal Affairs".
Sang Shaolong generally does not jump to conclusions before things are uncertain.
But this time is different, because he was so excited after watching it that he couldn't calm down for half a day.
Of course, he is not alone.
There were so many media and critics invited to this premiere, and none of them were not excited.
......
