The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Four Seasons Hotel Beijing.
The launch conference of Li Yi's new film project was held here.
The conference venue was already packed early!
Both sides of the main stage were filled with cameras early on.
The reporters below are also looking forward to it.
Before the press conference started, everyone inevitably discussed it.
"I wonder if it's the sequel to "Infernal Affairs"?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Didn't Li Yi say that he doesn't plan to continue directing the sequel?"
"It's hard to say. After all, what happened recently is quite... Li Yixuan held a press conference at this time. It's hard to say that he didn't target these public opinions."
"Hey, these directors in Hong Kong really don't know what's going on. They are not newcomers anymore. Li Yi has set a stage for them. However, they are all eager for quick success and quick success. They just follow the trend and imitate, but there is no use of any sincerity. , if I were Li Yi, I would have given up hope on them a long time ago."
"So you are not Li Yi. The revival of Hong Kong movies, even the revival of police and gangster movies, is a huge achievement for Li Yi. He has nothing missing now, so he has to pursue something, right?"
"..."
At this time, a reporter saw Fang Nan, the regular host of Li Yi's press conference, once again taking the lead in taking the center stage.
Immediately, the media reporters all became silent in unison.
Fang Nan started his opening remarks.
"grateful......"
After a routine opening.
Li Yi walked up.
"As usual, let me first introduce to you the main actors of the new film."
Li Yi said with a smile.
Then the original cast of "Infernal Affairs" such as Chen Weijie, Liang Feng, Luo Xian, Zhuang Bin and others came up one after another.
The reporters all unanimously determined that it was the sequel to "Infernal Affairs"!
After all, the main actors are all here, and almost all of them are from "Infernal Affairs", so what else is there to say?
At this time, Chen Weijie picked up the microphone and introduced: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Weijie, who plays the thief in the film, Hua Zai!!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Chen Weijie's introduction, the media below were immediately stunned.
What the hell?
thief? Andy?
Isn't it the sequel to "Infernal Affairs"?
Isn’t it Liu Jianming?
Has the sequel lineup been adjusted?
But this is wrong!
Then there is Liang Feng.
"Hello everyone, I am Liang Feng, and I play the policeman and negotiator He Shangsheng in the film!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Luo Xian, and I'm Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Crime Unit!"
"Hello everyone, I am Zhuang Bin, playing the bald guy who is the big boss in the film!"
"Hello everyone......"
As the main actors introduced themselves one by one, the media below were completely unable to hold back.
"What the hell? Are you actually using the original cast of "Infernal Affairs" to make other movies?"
"Director Dog is really good at playing!"
"Who would have thought of this!"
"This operation is really a horse bug!"
Suddenly there was a lot of noise down there.
There is no way, Li Yi has done this to make them unable to deal with it.
It's obviously the same cast, every one of them is good, even the stupid and strong ones are there, but what the hell, everyone's roles have been changed.
It was obviously a new film, but what surprised them even more was that this time it was another Hong Kong police film about two heroes fighting against each other.
But it’s not the sequel to “Infernal Affairs” that everyone had guessed!
It can be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.
What Li Yi wants is this kind of effect. Don't think that the result of the press conference will be the same anyway, so the process is not important?
In fact, this is not the case. If the press conference is deeply remembered by reporters, then they will be even more profound when reporting.
After all, even they were shaken, right?
"By the way, I forgot to mention, the name of this new movie is "Dark War"!"
Li Yi said with a smile.
The reporters below all rolled their eyes. Have you forgotten that special thing about you?
You did this entirely on purpose, right?
However, despite this, the reporters became even more excited.
After all, what's the point of being shaken?
The key is to have the materials!
Soon we came to the interview part that reporters love to hear the most.
"Director Li, can you introduce this new film?" the first reporter asked.
""Dark War" tells a story that takes place between a policeman and a thief within 72 hours."
Gone?
This reporter didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The other reporters all looked exactly like this.
As expected of you, Director Dog, other film directors can’t wait to introduce it at length, but Li Yi seems extremely perfunctory every time!
However, this group of reporters clearly didn't want to give up.
The second reporter followed the first reporter's question and asked: "Director Li, can you give us a more detailed introduction?"
"Okay, let me be more specific. In the movie, Brother Jie plays an elegant and well-thought-out thief, while Liang Feng plays a fast-paced and shrewd negotiator in the movie. This movie is about these two soldiers. The love and killing between thieves is the intricate relationship and emotion between men and men! Ahem, don’t get me wrong, it’s pure sympathy, not what you think!”
Once again, reporters collectively rolled their eyes.
What does it mean not to be what we imagined?
What were we thinking?
We haven't thought of anything, right?
But your introduction is really "detailed"!
Moreover, what on earth do you emphasize so much?
Are you afraid that we don’t want to be crooked?
Fall in love and kill each other? It sounds like it’s all about that, right?
After two outstanding reporters failed, the next reporter did not continue to pursue them, but asked a question that everyone was most concerned about at the moment.
"Director Li, after "Infernal Affairs", more than eight Hong Kong police and gangster films were released in half a year, but few of them were real hits. What do you think of this? You still insist that Hong Kong films can be revived and revived. Does the road lie in Hong Kong police dramas?”
"That's a good question! However, as for what you said, there are almost no real hits, which I don't agree with."
"Aren't "Edge Walker" directed by Chen Manshan and "Undercover Plan" directed by Ye Hong considered successful?"
"Many people have fallen into a misunderstanding. It seems that the so-called success and the so-called blockbuster must be how high the box office is. However, they ignore the fact that "Edge Walker" has a box office of more than 400 million and a score of It's not low. Although "Undercover Plan" has a box office of over 100 million so far, it is certainly inconspicuous among other Spring Festival movies that have a box office of more than 10 to 2 billion. But you can't say that their movies are not popular because of this. ?”
"The cost of "Edgewalker" is 50 million, the box office is more than 400 million, and the box office return rate is more than 8 times. Is this not a hit?"
"The cost of "Undercover Project" was only 15 million. Now it seems that it is not a problem to have a box office of over 150 million. It will have a box office return rate of at least ten times. Isn't such a success a hit?"
