This Star Wants To Retire
Chapter 788 The Crazy Director
"Infernal Affairs", one of the most famous series of Hong Kong films.
Its success is not only in awards and word of mouth.
In terms of box office, it is also one of the top-grossing series of Hong Kong films.
Luo Mo told Qian Qingyun that the reason why his finale could pass the trial was because it was only the first one, which was just "Infernal Affairs 1".
It seems that Liu Jianming is at large, but this is only temporary.
The story has not yet reached the end, and the audit department is not an exception for itself.
Qian Qingyun: "..."
Seriously, it's just a rhetoric.
Your title is not directly called "Infernal Affairs 1"!
Whether there is a follow-up depends on word of mouth and box office.
Indeed, judging from Luo Mo's current momentum, his films do not have both box office and word-of-mouth success.
However, it is normal for a project like a sequel to end without a problem, and no one can say for sure.
Especially the kind of main creative team that has high demands on themselves will not mess around with sequels just for the purpose of making money.
Generally speaking, the audit department still favors Luo Mo too much.
If there is a plausible reason, it can pass the trial.
Qian Qingyun also made up his mind: "How should I make a sequel to this movie?"
"At present, "Infernal Affairs" can be regarded as a movie with two male protagonists. Chen Yongren played by Luo Mo and Liu Jianming played by Hua Jiaqun are both male protagonists."
"But, Chen Yongren is already dead. And it was shot to the head, so the dead can't die anymore."
Even, after the headshot, he was shot again...
Ask yourself, Qian Qingyun personally thinks that the role of Chen Yongren is better than Liu Jianming.
On Earth, many people also think that Chen Yongren played by Tony Leung is better than Liu Jianming played by Andy Lau.
In fact, according to the interview, Tony Leung's wife 6+0 said that Tony Leung did not shoot "Infernal Affairs" for many days, and he finished work very early.
Top actor, so terrifying!
In Qian Qingyun's view, Chen Yongren is dead, and it is a bit difficult to continue filming according to the story line.
Without Luo Mo's personal participation in the performance, the audience would be somewhat disappointed.
Unless you engage in some very clichéd content.
For example, Chen Yongren's son has grown up and has the same face as his father...
Or there is an older brother or younger brother who looks exactly the same....
Oh, by the way, according to the implicit expression in the movie, Chen Yongren has a daughter, and no son at all!
To be honest, Qian Qingyun was hooked after watching "Infernal Affairs". He really wanted to ask Luo Mo how he planned to make the sequel.
But this kind of question is not convenient to ask.
He just said that he would look forward to it.
……..
……..
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" was completed in terms of professional terms in the industry [reverse decline]!
Its single-day box office reached 409 million!
The most frightening thing is that this is still based on the fact that the number of films scheduled has only increased a little bit.
It can be seen from this that the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is so high!
On the new song list, Xu Chujing's "The Forgotten Time" topped the list, which is normal.
Even the background music "Goodbye, Police" is on the list, ranking second!
The major theaters will not care about the so-called unspoken rules at the moment.
What about Hong Kong films?
Let me increase the number of film schedules!
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the filming rate of "Infernal Affairs" increased by 5%.
In the Spring Festival file, a 5% more film scheduling rate is extremely terrifying.
At the same time, the word-of-mouth fermentation of "Infernal Affairs" has also fully fermented today!
"The best movie to watch during the Spring Festival this year! "Infernal Affairs"!"
"Whoever doesn't watch "Infernal Affairs" will be sad, OK?"
"The film king's show is very enjoyable! I am optimistic that Luo Mo will sweep all the best actor awards this year! Well, except for the Fanhua award."
"It's so cool, I haven't watched such a cool Hong Kong movie for a long time!"
"I just finished reading the Mandarin version, and I plan to watch the Cantonese version again to see if I feel different!"
Film critics from all walks of life also came down to praise the film one after another. When [Huapetal.com] opened its score, "Infernal Affairs" temporarily scored as high as 9.5!
Such a terrible score made many people in the industry feel breathless.
"9.5 points? Is that outrageous?"
"This score is almost the same as "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!"
"Isn't it? Luo Mo is going to produce another masterpiece with a high box office reputation?"
You know, during the Spring Festival this year, the second-ranked movie on [Huapetal.com] scored only 6.6 points.
Of course, if it is placed on weekdays, a score of 6.6 is actually not bad, after all, Huapetal.com is really stingy.
But compared with this domineering 9.5 points, 6.6 points are not enough.
Luo Mo himself has an extremely terrifying box office appeal, coupled with the ratings and word-of-mouth of this masterpiece, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, it really set off a wave of people watching "Infernal Affairs"!
After a whole day, the single-day box office has increased a lot, directly rising to 489 million!
Such terrible box office data made the filmmakers on Hong Kong Island unable to sleep because of their excitement!
The film industry on Hong Kong Island has always been very voluptuous.
But as the general environment is getting worse and the market is getting more and more sluggish, everyone knows that it's useless no matter how much you roll.
Hong Kong Island has had no newcomers for a long time, and can only rely on the influence of middle-aged actors or even elderly actors to support the box office.
This can be seen from the side, the environment is really bad.
The great success of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
Everyone has seen the hope of the recovery of Hong Kong films!
Unexpectedly, the Hong Kong film directed by Luo Mo actually became a rescue work?
Even Cheng Wen, vice president of Penguin Video, made a special call to inform Luo Mo of a piece of data.
"After "Infernal Affairs" became popular, the number of views of those old Hong Kong movies in our Penguin video has been increasing crazily!"
"Especially those classic Hong Kong movies, and Hong Kong movies about cops and gangsters."
Obviously, this movie also stimulated everyone's nostalgia.
Hong Kong movies used to be too brilliant, generations of people grew up watching Hong Kong movies.
Therefore, after "Infernal Affairs" created a good performance, there was a feeling bonus in an instant!
These days, it is often criticized on the Internet, saying: "It's another film that sells feelings."
Luo Mo didn't feel anything about it.
In his opinion, it is not a bad thing for a movie to sell feelings.
Only selling feelings, only feelings, that is the one to be scolded.
If feelings are only part of its success, or even a small part, it is just an element in the movie, what's the fuss about it?
And these old Hong Kong movies suddenly became popular, which made the popularity and popularity of these middle-aged and elderly actors on Hong Kong Island soar!
This means that their commercial value will rise accordingly in a short period of time.
This means that they can take on more jobs in the future and have more business income.
Suddenly, countless people were grateful to Luo Mo.
From being slightly doubtful at the beginning, it turned into admiration, even... a little awe!
This talented young man is really scary!
Judging from the current momentum, "Infernal Affairs" is estimated to break the box office record on Hong Kong Island!
Many people are thinking, Luo Mo should be having a good time recently, right?
In fact, Luo Mo is indeed in a good mood recently.
During the Chinese New Year this year, he is really serious about visiting relatives and friends.
Master Tong Qinglin's physical discomfort sounded the alarm for him.
He has been really busy these past few years.
Even if it is the Spring Festival, since there are movies released, he has to be busy focusing on publicity, follow-up word-of-mouth maintenance, business maximization, etc.
Once you're done with these things, you can prepare for a new project.
Now, most of the employees of Luo Mo's studio can be independent.
Too busy with work, he missed a lot in life.
This year's New Year greetings, he began to realize that many elders are really getting old.
Many juniors have changed drastically.
But he will only take a break during the Spring Festival.
When work is fully resumed, I will continue to be busy filming "Farewell My Concubine".
time does not wait.
People's health does not wait for others.
Although Master's current physical condition is not too serious, the doctors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital have said that family members should still be mentally prepared.
……..
……..
Time passed, and on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the cumulative box office of "Infernal Affairs" broke the 3 billion mark.
For a while, everyone has already decided that this movie will definitely break 5 billion.
Luo Mo once again created the box office myth!
In fact, many people are more concerned about Luo Mo's performance in the movie.
In "I'm Not the God of Medicine", he acted as the male supporting role and contributed a very good performance.
"The Wandering Earth" is the first time he has acted as the leading actor in a movie, but the characteristics of this role are there. In terms of acting skills, it can only be said to be remarkable, and there is not much room for development.
But "Infernal Affairs" is different.
Chen Yongren in this movie was really brought to life by him!
The characters are fully formed.
Many people are optimistic that Luo Mo can win the best actor.
Even the judges of the Fanhua Award, who had a bad relationship with him, felt very uncomfortable for a while.
The word-of-mouth reviews for this movie are great.
Luo Mo's acting skills are also impeccable, and the eye drama is too awesome.
Even the supporting actors in it left a deep impression on people, and they are fully qualified to win the best supporting actor award.
But Luo Mo would never send "Infernal Affairs" to participate in various competitions of the [Flower Award].
If people don't come to participate, even if you want to give in, you want to give them awards, hey! It really can't be stuffed into other people's hands!
After breaking up with Luo Mo, the Fanhua Award also knew that this was a scandal, which would damage the authority of the award.
But... Hasn't authority been exchanged for money in the past few years! ?
Loss is loss, you really think we care about it?
This time it's a pity that..... I didn't get fucking money in exchange, and it also damaged my authority!
Obviously, the authority of the loss this time, if exchanged for money, we can make a lot of money!
However, if someone were to say that someone could destroy the profound Huahua Award by himself, then they really thought it was a dream and Yelang's arrogance.
But now, everyone really feels a sense of crisis.
"Infernal Affairs" is too strong!
What's even more frightening is that Luo Mo's current prestige is too strong.
To put it bluntly, who doesn't know that participating in his film project will directly miss the Fanhua Award?
so what?
Laughing to death, you don't really think that you are more important than Luo Mo, do you?
These days, whether to win an award or not is not necessarily based on real ability.
For your award to increase my value as an actor, I may have to operate behind the scenes, make a series of shady deals, exchange various benefits, and lick you judges... Tired? tired?
If I directly participate in Luo Mo's film project, I can still ascend in place!
When Luo Mo signed the contract with each actor, he would make it clear that the film would not participate in the [Flowers Awards].
Seriously, no one will pass up the opportunity to participate in this!
This young man really managed to compete against one of China's most famous film awards on his own!
This is something that would have been unbelievable in the past.
The most interesting thing is that for the other major film awards, the mind has become active.
All the judges will have a preference for Luo Mo's movies.
"This is a great time to kill the opponent Fanhua Award!"
What's more, we don't need to do anything special.
Because "Infernal Affairs" is worth it!
……..
……..
United States, California.
Director Mark, who is on vacation, watched the Chinese-dubbed version of "The Wandering Earth" completely on the video website.
Yes, "The Wandering Earth" has landed on major foreign video sites, and all of them have sold at high prices for Chinese domestic movies, and there is no dubbing in other languages.
There is no English version, only the Mandarin version, and then I will add subtitles for you.
When communicating with Luo Mo Studio, many video sites have asked for an English version.
In fact, in the unspoken rules, if an English version is added, the selling price can often be higher.
But Luo Mo's attitude is very firm - don't do it!
At this time, after watching "The Wandering Earth", Director Mark personally still likes this movie very much.
First of all, this movie refreshed his impression of the special effects of Huaxia movies.
He finds it incredible that Huaxia has already achieved this level of special effects in movies!
It doesn't belong to Hollywood special effects blockbusters at all!
Then, it is to return to the sci-fi movie itself. He thinks this movie is an excellent commercial sci-fi.
Of course, due to cultural differences, Director Mark cannot get many cores in this "The Wandering Earth".
In this movie, the Americans did not play a decisive role, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Director Mark soon felt relieved. Based on his own understanding, in such a situation, if the United States does not cause chaos, destroy other countries, and then take care of itself, it would be good!
After watching "The Wandering Earth" completely, the famous Hollywood director became very interested in Luo Mo.
He started to look up Luo Mo's information, and planned to watch all his movies today.
He is personally not interested in animated films, so he will skip "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".
Then, in chronological order, the first one he watched was - "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!
Two hours later....
Director Mark was depressed.
He didn't know how many times he said the English words starting with F in his mind.
This movie is so sad to watch, really too uncomfortable!
But through this movie, his affection for Luo Mo soared again.
He even had admiration.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "The Wandering Earth", the two movies are too different.
The individual style of both films is very obvious, but it turns out to be from the same hand!
This young man is simply a genius!
He personally thinks that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is worth a remake.
If this kind of movie is remade, it is really going to win awards.
Director Mark had the urge to buy the copyright, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Because it is too different from his personal style.
He was born in gangster movies and is currently the number one director in Hollywood gangster movies.
At this moment, he noticed that Luo Mo had a movie in theaters, and it turned out to be a gangster movie.
""Wu Jian Dao"?" He didn't understand what it meant.
But Director Mark developed a strong urge, he even wanted to fly directly to Huaxia, and go to the theater to see it first.
So, here comes the problem.
——He can't understand Chinese!
Director Mark began to search for "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet to see if anyone had taken photos on the big screen while watching the movie.
Sure enough, there must be a lot of photos like this on the Internet.
When many people go to the movies, they will take a picture on the big screen and post it on the Internet.
Through these photos, Director Mark confirmed one thing - there is English in the subtitles!
This is normal, and many ambitious works in recent years will follow this pattern.
Like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" on Earth, it also has English subtitles.
However, Chinese is the main language, and English has a line of small characters below, which will be very hard to read.
Forget it, go check it out!
—Anyway, I have a visa!
And he misses Chinese food very much, and he can travel by the way.
You know, the number one director of gangster movies in Hollywood, specially flew to China, just to go to the theater to watch "Infernal Affairs", this is definitely big news!
Director Mark himself felt: "Isn't it a little too crazy?"
Even crazier, however.
He didn't buy a ticket on the first day.
