At this stage, the standard for Hong Kong films to sell well in the port is to break 10 million!

If you can't break 10 million, you can't talk about selling well.

And the underworld-themed Hong Kong film, after "Crazy Boy", there are almost no hits!

Last year's "Jianghu" gathered Andy Lau + Zhang Xueyou, Edison Chen + Yue Wenle, almost not weaker than the lineup of "Infernal Affairs", with a box office of only 12.91 million...

Entered the top 10 of the year.

The last one to enter the top ten of the year was "98 Crazy Boys: Dragon Fight" in 98

Therefore, "Cruel Street", as long as the local box office in Hong Kong exceeds 10 million, it will be considered a big success!

The probability is still very high...

Mr. Chen is still quite appealing, and a purely violent film like "Dog Bites Dog" can get close to 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office!

Not to mention the mainland market!

Actually, Shen Xudong felt that if Zhou Jielun came to play "Cruel Street"

Square peg...

How dare you think, what if he comes to play "Cruel Street", "Initial D"?86 How can he go up the mountain?

Zheng Baorui and Ye Weixin are obviously very interested in Brother Hu, and they both have the idea of going north to make films...

Make a co-production and make a lot of money!

That definitely needs well-known actors from the mainland to join...

Chen Musheng and To Qifeng have relevant ideas, but the specific type of shooting in the north has not yet been determined.

Du Qifeng suddenly thought of something, and said to Shen Xudong: Didn't you say that you wanted to write me a romantic love scene!"

“… You didn't contact me since..."

"Now that it's officially contacted, you go back and prepare one!"

"Hmm..."

Shen Xudong nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "Director Du, are you interested in the concept of time loop?"

"Time loop?"

66 "Groundhog Day", the male protagonist is trapped in a time loop, living the same day repeatedly, from incomprehension, squandering through time loopholes to emotional breakdowns, and finally returning to sincerity. ”

“… Are you trying to combine this concept of dryness with love?"

"That's right!"

"That's interesting!"

Du Qifeng nodded, and Wei Jiahui next to him suddenly interjected: "If it is the concept of time loop, I think it can be applied to police and gangster movies!"

"You can also..."

Shen Xudong didn't have any opinion, but just said: "But when it is used in love, it can be used all over the world, because love is a beautiful thing all over the world!"

Du Qifeng also nodded: "If I want to go to the mainland to make a film, I have to abide by the rules of the mainland... He knows better than you!"

Lin Lingdong on the side spoke: "I heard Chen Musheng say that you have a very good idea?"

"What?"

"Infernal Affairs is too idealistic..."

"Oh!" Shen Xudong nodded: "That's called "New World"!"

Shen Xudong didn't hide it this time, and directly talked about the plot of "New World"...

It's nothing more than the story of an undercover apostasy and taking out two bosses who know their identities...

Of course, what Shen Xudong said was very interesting.

A lot of people think "New World" is better than "Infernal Affairs"...

is outrageous, can Martin Scorsese buy the rights to pull Leonardo and Damon's remake of the movie comparable to "New World"?

"New World" is played by a few people in South Korea and China.

What is the global or Asian reputation?

It's a cool film, let's not talk about depth or anything...

You can't just because it's more realistic or the ending is darker, and the quality can't be beaten.

Moreover, these two are not the same at all!

Comparing "New World" and "Infernal Affairs", it is nothing more than a "police undercover gangster".

Other than that, there are few similarities between the two films.

Tony Leung's Chen Yongren, no matter how hard and tired he is, has never wavered in his identification with the identity of the police and "institutional justice".

The phrase he blurted out: "I'm sorry, I'm a police officer" can become the motto of almost all police officers.

What about New World?

The biggest pain for the actor Li Zicheng is that Section Chief Jiang and Director Gao and others use the secret of undercover agents to threaten each other from time to time and let him serve the police...

The unscrupulous, shameless, and ruthless of the police just reflect Ding Qing's deep affection and righteousness. Compared with the two compartments, Li Zicheng's ownership has been decided.

Therefore, after listening to Shen Xudong's narration, Lin Lingdong thought for a while: "It's a bit like "Bloody Heroes"!"

“… borrowed a little. ”

The policeman Li Ying in "Bloody Heroes" was squeezed out by his boss, and he felt that the world was cold, and the police were never a pool of clear water, but also a quagmire...

That's why he sympathized with the killer Xiaozhuang...

"The Bloody Couple" has a great influence, and ten years later, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's "The Line of Fire" is also a love affair between police and bandits...

Johnny To also filmed "Dark War"...

"You're not going to be able to pass the trial, are you?"

"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "It's not good to pass the trial!"

"New World" is impossible to pass the review, it is useless for anyone to play it, and Cheng was able to shoot "Shinjuku Incident" back then, but it couldn't be released.

Rules are rules!

"What then?"

"No, no... The disc can be released!"

"Not up?"

To Qifeng hesitated, not knowing how to answer...

He now has various longings for the mainland market, and the first part of "Underworld" was also released in the mainland, but at that time, it was cut beyond recognition in order to pass the review, and even the title was changed to "Dragon City Years".

The castrated and tampered "Dragon City Years" is completely out of the director's original intention, and it has also caused a lot of bad reviews.

Therefore, in order to maintain the integrity of the work, the sequel "Underworld 2" simply canceled the mainland release...

Oh, Wei Jiahui brought up "Underworld"...

The expression is excited...

Well, "Underworld" is a work of Galaxy Imaging that hits Cannes.

In Hong Kong, Johnny To has no opponents, it's time to make a name for himself!

Of course, "Underworld" got nothing in Cannes ...

Even the copyright doesn't sell well!

Therefore, "Underworld 3" has not been filmed...

Regarding "Underworld", Shen Xudong watched it several times and learned some knowledge, such as wearing a helmet when fishing.

And also...

'Ah Le, he really thinks about the community, he said that when he becomes a talker, he will lead the community to the moon!'

Well?

It seems that if you want to hit the moon, it's a skewer explosion!

Election of the dark lantern, and the chief designer of the manned moon landing of Liansheng... Skewers!

The election dark light said that "Underworld" supported Big D, and "Underworld: Peace is Precious" supported Ah Le's re-election, but the result was that the two not only failed to be elected, but both died in the end.

It doesn't matter, "Underworld" is of course a good movie, in addition to showing the theme of "the alienation of power from people", the film more or less involves political issues, which is also a topic that many fans talk about...

But it's still a little short of an epic...

It's the seventh part that obviously lowers that story, and under the discussion of political issues, it is also more in-depth, and even blends the topics of many people together...

It's still up!

Yes, Jiang Yingchun was puzzled, why did Jiang Yingchun say "White Society"?

Then I heard Wei Jiahui speak: "What time do you have to shoot that film... Where's Ringo?"

“… You don't have time..."Shen Xudong looked at Du Qifeng: "I know that there is no chance to direct..."
