On the second day.
The media started to get involved.
"The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" ended with a full house of applause and endless applause. The main creative members took three curtain calls!" - "Super Entertainment Report"
"The premiere of "Infernal Affairs", a Hong Kong police film directed by Li Yi, was highly praised by everyone and fans called it a classic!" - "Penguin Entertainment"
""Infernal Affairs" The Road to Infernal Affairs may become the best Hong Kong film in the new century!" - "Film Weekly"
"There is hope for the revival of Hong Kong police and gangster films, and "Infernal Affairs" may bring back the glory of Hong Kong films!" - "Hong Kong Island TV"
Film critics, fans, and the media all praised it.
Countless movie fans are looking forward to this movie even more.
Especially on Hong Kong Island, "Infernal Affairs" can be said to have almost recreated the most glorious era of Hong Kong films.
It was actually hard to get a ticket!
The box office for the whole day was as high as 4.91 million!
Perhaps many people do not understand the concept of this box office. In fact, such a box office has not been seen in Hong Kong Island for many years.
Even in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, this kind of box office was definitely terrifying enough.
Not only that, many old movie fans in Hong Kong were so excited after watching the movie. When being interviewed by the media, they even shouted with tears in their eyes: "The renaissance of Hong Kong movies is imminent!"
In the Mainland, "Infernal Affairs" has aroused the audience's appetite in the early stage, and it is a film by Li Yi, a popular domestic fried chicken director. His appeal, coupled with proper promotion and the feeling of Hong Kong films , as well as the movie's reputation on the first day of release, the same goes without saying.
The box office revenue on the first day was 120 million!
Such achievements may not even rank among Li Yi's movies, but its reputation has exploded.
In fact, Hong Kong police and gangster films still have certain limitations for the mainland market.
"Infernal Affairs" is so popular, but the box office on the first day was not particularly strong.
However, compared with "Police Heroes: The Wise and Brave Couple", the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" is almost instantaneous.
After the first day of screening, the score on the Popular Film Critics website, although declining, is still as high as 9.4 points.
"The best Hong Kong police and gangster film I have ever seen, no, the best police and gangster film!"
"It has the unique Hong Kong film flavor of Hong Kong Island police and gangster films, and also has unexpected and wonderful innovations. For the first time, I discovered that police and gangster films do not necessarily have to have fierce gun battles. The police and gangster showdown in the first act, through the details, through you The information passed back and forth, the atmosphere was heightened, and people were surprised. It turns out that police movies can still be made like this! It's a blast!"
"I'm so satisfied. As expected of a director like you, what attracts us most about this movie is actually the strong Hong Kong flavor and sentiment revealed in it!
Chinese people like the word "feelings" very much. This word has rich connotations and is very "Chinese". Its meaning can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. It cannot be translated into appropriate English. When feelings are spoken, they are always accompanied by a little vicissitudes of life and a little sadness. Not hurtful, a little exciting, with an air of being fascinated by idealism and a kind of coolness that doesn't care about anything in the world. Chen Yongren hid himself in an alley and saluted the police's funeral car. Huang Zhicheng was on the rooftop. The envelope she handed over contained a watch without a bug, and she said with a smile: "The 25th is your birthday, brat." Li Xin'er stood in front of the tombstone on the roof of the building, staring at the black and white photo and muttering to herself. : "How are you, policeman?", and finally Liu Jianming looked at the camera and said, "I want to change with him" in the same tone as he did many years ago.
These are all feelings! "
"It both inherits and subverts. It inherits the unique Hong Kong flavor of Hong Kong films, but also subverts the existing impression of past police and gangster films. What an awesome director!"
"The acting skills are amazing, Liang Feng is awesome, Chen Weijie is awesome!"
"If Hong Kong movies are all of this level, please give me a dozen!"
"Director Dog really did it. Come on, come on, I've produced a sample for you. Learn from it!"
"The scene on the rooftop at the end gave me goosebumps all over my body. It was so exciting!"
"Finally, it fills the gap in domestic police and gangster films that lack classics!"
"I hope Director Gou can keep up his good work. It doesn't have to be a police film, other themes can also be chosen!"
In fact, many times the audience is the easiest to satisfy.
Most of the time, their requirements for movies are really not very high. If they can tell the story well, the box office will generally not be too bad.
Although any movie will inevitably have some criticisms, after all, it is only a small part.
Excellent movies always have people who know the stuff.
Of course, "Infernal Affairs" has some criticisms among the countless praises.
There is one thing that many movie fans are also confused about.
"I admit that "Infernal Affairs" has a good idea, but there are many plots in the movie worthy of scrutiny. Chen Yongren left after discovering the problem in Liu Jianming's office, so that Liu Jianming found out that he had been exposed. Why didn't he stabilize Liu Jianming first and help him regain his identity? Expose him again? It feels like it is purely for the sake of the subsequent plot, to forcibly subdue him, right? Also, why did Liu Jianming openly put the documents Han Chen gave him on the desk in the office? Both of them are undercover, and they will be killed if they are not careful. They will be broken into pieces, they must be cautious, this bug is very low-level!"
This critical movie fan didn't expect that his criticism would actually heat up the topic.
Many movie fans have taken the initiative to interpret the plot.
"This is a movie. Chen Yongren's choice to leave now is tantamount to a silent and lonely declaration of war. It is indeed stupid and not enough for the audience to understand, but the hero in the drama must always have this kind of willful temperament. On the contrary, I think this is the real cleverness of the movie The place."
"When Liu Jianming saw that Chen Yongren found out that he was an undercover agent, he was no longer prepared to restore Chen Yongren's identity. Chen Yongren could only do one thing between restoring his identity and discovering that he was an undercover agent. It was unfortunate that he did it first and it was not good for him. thing.
Liu Jianming would not restore his identity to the other party when he knew that the other party had discovered his identity. This would undoubtedly be suicide. For his own absolute safety, he could only kill Chen Yongren.
Well, even if the identity is restored, it is impossible. Don't forget that Chen Yongren actually never worked as a formal policeman for a day. He went to work as an undercover before graduating from the police academy. No one in the police station knew him. Liu Jianming, as for Liu Jianming, has been in the police station for so many years. He is an official, big and small, and is quite popular with his superiors. He has a bright future. Even if Chen Yongren regains his identity, he will only be a low-level policeman, and no one knows him. Some people may even discriminate against and bully him. After all, he must have had conflicts with many policemen when he was a gangster. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two. Chen Yongren cannot defeat Liu Jianming, and by that time, Liu Jianming should have been completely cleared and will not leave any evidence for Chen Yongren. "
"After Chen Yongren was arranged by Sir Huang to leave the police force and go undercover with Han Chen, he began his journey to hell. In his several years of undercover career, he had seen Han Chen and his group do too many bad things, and There is only one reason why he insists on staying undercover, and that is to be a good policeman.
There are only two people who know his undercover identity, one has passed away after retirement, and the other is Sir Huang. To Chen Yongren, Sir Huang has become a mentor, friend and father. However, such an important person was killed by Han Chen, and he still died in front of him.
Therefore, catching Han Chen is not only a task for Chen Yongren, but also a kind of sworn hatred. This hatred has become his obsession. So after helping Liu Jianming kill Han Chen, he discovered that Liu Jianming was Han Chen's undercover agent in the police force. The obsession of "catching all Han Chen's accomplices" prompted him not to let Liu Jianming go. As for Liu Jianming putting the documents on the table, there is nothing to say about this. No matter how cautious a person is, there are times when he is negligent. He is not really a perfect person, otherwise he would not have been followed when he met Han Chen! "
