You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 394 398 "Dark War" strikes, I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa!

On the 29th, today is the premiere of "Dark War" and also the next day of "Slaying the Wolf".

"Slaying the Wolf" was released for one month, and the box office broke 600 million in the first week, and the next three weeks added up to less than 1000 million. The total box office score of 1570 million is not good, but it is also double the original time and space. profit.

Moreover, this box office result is actually not bad in this year's Xiangjiang Film Market. If you arrange the rows carefully, you can still rank in the top ten, just surpassing Zheng Yijian's "GTO" and Hua Tsai's "Prince Dark Horse" in the eighth and ninth ranks. Ten thousand.

In terms of word of mouth, "Slaying the Wolf" is also good, although some media have been bad-mouthing Jiang Yan's Stars and Seas, saying that the box office of the latest work is lower than that of the other, which is the embodiment of "Jiang Yan stepped down from the altar" .

But Xingchen Dahai and Wang Jin didn't pay attention at all, because "Dark War" came.

"Dark War" is an award-winning film for Hua Tsai. In last year's "Infernal Affairs", Hua Tsai's transformation can be said to be very successful. A nomination for Best Actor at the Academy Awards transformed him from an idol into a powerful faction.

But if you want to be a solid player, you must really win a prize.

The Hong Kong Film Awards are actually a bit like the Oscars, or most of them borrowed from the Oscars.

The selection of the best actor will not be given directly because of a single film, but it will be combined with the previous performance of the actor.

For example, Xiao Lizi later made himself that way, and it took several times before he finally won the best actor.

Speaking of it, this is objective and reasonable, and increases the gold content of the awards, but after all, the commercial atmosphere is a bit heavier, unlike the European film industry, which is more based on the film itself.

There are pros and cons to each, but this is the rule of the game. If you want it, you have to follow the rules.

Therefore, part of the publicity before the release of "Dark War" was aimed at Andy Lau as the best actor.

Hua Tsai, as the king of heaven, is already very popular in Hong Kong. After "Infernal Affairs" made fans' eyes shine, this time "Dark War", which is used to challenge the actor, naturally made many fans look forward to it even more.

Many film critics, however, expressed concern.

Generally speaking, the plots of movies that are aimed at the best actor will be a little weak, so will "Dark War" be like this?
Director Du Qifeng heard the words, and answered in one sentence: "The police film, two heroes, and the screenwriter is Jiang Yan, what are you worried about?"

So the critics temporarily quieted down, but the pen should be taken.

The temptation of topics such as "Jiang Yan stepped down from the altar" is huge. If it can be realized, it will really feed the media for a long time.

However, it is the right of the strong to act recklessly, and with absolute strength, they can be so willful.

Stars and Seas still disdain this, so they simply added a few key words to the main promotional poster of "Dark War".

Produced by Xing Chen Da Hai, written by Jiang Yan, directed by Johnny To.

With "Infernal Affairs" and "Gunfire", these three keywords are completely sufficient.

Therefore, many fans were once again incited into the theater, wanting to see how Jiang Yan and To Qifeng will cooperate, plus the actor Liu Qingyun, what kind of height Hua Tsai will reach.

"Liu Qingyun, Andy Lau once again competed with the actor's acting skills, who will be more fierce?"

"To be reasonable, it should be Lau Ching Wan, a super veteran actor who specializes in making movies. Although Hua Tsai is also good in "Infernal Affairs", it still feels like he will be exploded!"

"Not necessarily, Hua Tsai's acting talent is very good."

"I don't know how the plot is. It doesn't matter if it's not as good as "Infernal Affairs", but it's better than "Gunfire", or it's almost okay..."

With the theme of two heroes and the show on the same stage, fans are talking about it. While comparing the acting skills with "Infernal Affairs", they are also looking forward to the plot.

However, as the premiere began, everyone temporarily suppressed their emotions and entered the venue.

. . . . . .

The premiere started, and Zhou Zhiruo and Andy Hua stepped onto the red carpet arm in arm.

Andy Hua received a lot of attention today, and Zhou Zhiruo was not weak either.

In addition to the heroine, a large part of the reason is her mysterious boyfriend.

Yesterday Jiang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo had a crazy day, and today's newspapers are flying everywhere.

To be honest, Zhou Zhiruo doesn't count as second-tier in Xiangjiang, she doesn't count as third-tier or fourth-tier, and she doesn't have any works, and she doesn't do activities often. She can get the current attention only because of Jiang Yan's back.

So from the very beginning, there were rumors of "child brides-in-law".

However, although such news was quickly suppressed by Jiang Yan, almost everyone in the circle believed that Zhou Zhiruo definitely had a special relationship with Jiang Yan.

Otherwise, if Zhou Zhiruo wants to have acting skills but no acting skills, and if she wants talent but no talent, she won't take on the role very much, and "Dark War" will directly be the heroine, who will believe it if it doesn't matter?

As a result, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly broke out in love.

The hero is not Jiang Yan, but someone else.

Zhou Zhiruo didn't give a clear answer, the key point was that Jiang Yan didn't respond yet, and she was still allowed to walk with Hua Tsai on the red carpet today.

When Jiang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo stood together, it was still the same as before.

So what is the relationship between Zhou Zhiruo and Jiang Yan?
Could it be that Jiang Yan is her "child bride"?
So under the flashing lights, Zhou Zhiruo's sense of mystery suddenly heightened.

After "Dark War", she would be able to reach the second line no matter what.

As usual, Jiang Yan deliberately lowered his sense of presence during the premiere, leaving the stage to the main creators. The reporters have begun to get used to Jiang Yan's non-obtrusive demeanor, but this also made many reporters ask:
"Jiang Yan, when will you star in one?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan just smiled, "It's almost there" and then entered the arena on his own.

And these few short words also became the hot topic of the next day.

But no matter how hot this kind of ambiguous answer is, it can't compare with the popularity of "Dark War".

Soon, the movie begins.

. . . . . .

With the best partner, the Milky Way image and the opening of the sea of ​​​​stars are played.

When the tragic and epic soundtrack at the beginning sounded, many people felt that Jiang Yan really deserved it.

The Yangyin symphonic version of "Trilogy" had been released in Xiangjiang a few days ago, and it didn't matter how many sold, what was important was that the critics' views on Jiang Yan had been severely refreshed.

When "Dark War" was promoted before, many people didn't notice that "Jiang Yan participated in the soundtrack", which directly attracted many musicians.

After hearing it now, I really have the idea of ​​"as expected of Jiang Yan".

Speaking of which, this song is also the theme episode of this movie. The male voice hums in harmony, and then it is rough and powerful, and the timbre is loud. It is very suitable for adding the heroic Scottish bagpipes. It plays a romantic and legendary feeling, with a touch of sadness , at the funeral of a western policeman, Scottish bagpipes will definitely appear, and the opening song sets the tragic and sad melody and tone of the whole film.

This song is very popular among fans in the original time and space, but the song has no name.

In fact, a lot of movie episodes don’t name them specially. The most common ones are episode 1 and episode 2 of the original soundtrack, and this theme episode was nicknamed by the netizens of the last time and space, “I’m Running Out of Time” .

In the movie, the appearance of the protagonist Hua also directly points out this point.

Yes, I'm out of time!

"How long?"

"Four weeks, but if you bleed internally, you're going to die any minute."

"It doesn't matter, just give me four weeks of painkillers."

"I don't think we'll see each other again."

. . . . . . .

In Johnnie To's movie "Gunfire", such a happy ending is extremely rare. Director Du is an "immortal protagonist who is uncomfortable with the planet Sky", and likes to kill the protagonist "unreasonably", especially the male protagonist. Basically, the hero's ending in every movie is doomed, that is death!There are really only a handful of male protagonists who can "survive" Johnnie To's movies.

So the tragic tone is set, and the next plot of the film is naturally dragged into the "race against time", and a tragic and tense atmosphere spreads.

The film continues, the two-hero gangster film, after Andy Hua Tsai, another protagonist, the policeman He Shangsheng, also appeared. Compared with the tragic and sad appearance of Andy Lau, the appearance of He Shangsheng, a negotiator expert, is much more joyful, and it switches to a comedy in a second. Sense of sight.

In a bank robbery,
He Shangsheng: "Have you talked about it?"

Huang Qifa (played by He Shaoxiong): "We already talked about it 10 minutes ago."

He Shangsheng exploded instantly: "Are you going to talk to people again? You must tell others that you are Chief Inspector Huang Qifa, and tell them to surrender within 3 minutes? Sigh..."

Just looking at it, you know there is a story. Sure enough, click on the recording and listen to it.

"I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa!"

"I am the commander of this case. You are already surrounded by us. Release all hostages within 3 minutes, put down your weapons and surrender!"

He Shangsheng sighed and shook his head when he heard it, his face was as expected, when he heard that the gangster originally wanted a bulletproof car, but Huang Qifa forcibly negotiated it into a helicopter, he was so angry on the spot, but Huang Qifa wanted to throw the pot away. The small expression of resentment that could not be shaken off throughout the whole process was so simple that the audience couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft, I'm Chief Inspector Huang Qifa!"

"Why do you feel that you are full of love, my dear, these two have a story..."

The two-hero drama has not yet begun, and the "enemy drama" comes first. God-like teammates and pig-like bosses, this combination is hard to keep people from laughing.

And then, He Shangsheng's strengths were immediately revealed. After listening to the small details of the recording, he found clues and thought about it. The plainclothes policeman hidden among the hostages couldn't bear it and came out to kill his teammates to save the situation. However, He Shangsheng saw through the sound of his cold and sniffling on the spot, and cleverly set up a trick to trick him and force him to act.

Superintendent He's super high IQ is vividly displayed, and the most exciting thing is his bravery and decisiveness. First, he was not afraid of being pointed at by the robbers and even shot at his feet. The man was pointing a gun and trying to kill people, but still continued the psychological warfare with a fearless expression, turned around and walked without looking back, and said fearlessly: "It's hard to explain if you shoot me with your own gun, and you can't escape. Yes, let's go."

This calm and calm demeanor made the person behind the scenes dare not shoot. In fact, there is no one who is not afraid of death. He Shangsheng is also afraid that the frenzied criminals will shoot. The moment he stepped out of the bank door, he In an instant, he stuck to the left wall of the door and hid.

If there is no such action, the shaping of this character will be weak. This evasive action, besides being "cute", instantly portrays He Shangsheng's heroic image to perfection, which can be described as penetrating.

With a "bang!" gunshot, the gangster chose to commit suicide, and the bank robbery and hostage-taking incident ended. Superintendent He flashed the walkie-talkie to the police light on the car: "I'm hungry, go buy food."

The handsomeness of a man is not only a kind of never looking back at the explosion, but also a way of buying "pineapple buns" after work. While falling in love with him in a second, I really want to buy a piece of bread to eat.

The tragic and provocative theme episode "I'm Running Out of Time" sounded at the same time, exaggerating this atmosphere to the extreme.

"handsome!"

"Deadly chic!"

"Liu Yun's acting skills are off the charts!"

"Just kidding, how about the best actor of the Academy Awards?"

"That's awesome, how can Andy take it?"

The audience thought together, Hua Tsai appeared.

The "Hua" played by Hua Tsai put on makeup at this moment and took pictures of him.

Seeing this, everyone understands that the two heroes of the police and the robbers met each other for the first time, and Jiang Yan was not said to be a gangster before. After the police came out, Jiang Yan could only be a gangster.

In addition, Hua Tsai's old man's attire is very natural, it looks like he spent a lot of money.

Hua Zixin said it was of course, for this makeup, he spent a whole day!
The film continues. This is the first time the two meet each other. Hua has a purpose, and Supervisor He only regards him as a reporter, and just nods from the air. From the foreshadowing of the film, it is obvious that the two are "enemies for life". "Are.

The invincible He Shangsheng is very lonely. This awesome former captain of the Flying Tigers is now working as a clerical worker. He is a workaholic and has nothing to do. There is no work at hand and he has not finished it. Even the police uniform has to be measured by himself. , almost even rushed to do the job of cleaning the aunt, of course, after learning that the "daoist friend" was shitting, he decisively gave up.

Huazi is also lonely, especially before death, the idol's face with melancholy eyes, a slightly haggard and expressionless look at the animation on the TV at the bar is enough to make many Huazi fans go crazy and their eyes become dizzy. It's become a sea of ​​stars.

The foreshadowing of the plot is over, the curtain of the main line is completely opened, Hua robs the financial company, Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, intending to Peigong, the real purpose is the enemy company next door, but well, if you watch the movie for the first time, you will not be able to guess Hua's intention of.

After the layout was completed, He Shangsheng, a negotiator expert, was caught. The first confrontation between the two was destined to be extremely exciting.

However, it was Huang Qifa who grabbed the show the most.

"I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Serious Crime Squad!"

I don't know why, when Fa Ge spoke, the audience burst into laughter, he was so cute.

Black humor is everywhere. This movie probably ridicules those policemen who do nothing and just want to "get a salary". Blame, I’ll take the blame if you go up.” and Huang Qifa faced the bomb threat, “Why should I believe him or not you?

However, no matter how brilliant the supporting roles and small details are, they are just embellishments, and the main plot is what all movie fans focus on.

Hua: "Are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He Shangsheng: "Sorry, traffic jam."

When the two met on the rooftop to negotiate, their tone was as familiar as an old friend they hadn't seen for many years. This natural feeling was unparalleled.

"Some people want money, cars, planes, or to meet their wives, do you have a girlfriend?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't want those things either."

The first duel between the two, the film reached its first climax.

In the 72-hour game, if you send it to the police station, you will win. In this cat-and-mouse game, Inspector He accurately positioned Hua, and Hua, who had a gun in his hand, undoubtedly took all the initiative, closing his eyes and unscrupulously shooting at pedestrians. The gun put a lot of pressure on Inspector He, and at the same time allowed Hua to escape smoothly.

Up to this point in the film, no one knows Hua's true purpose yet, but fans know that the confrontation between two people with over-the-top IQs must be exciting.

In Huang Qifa's words, when a fool meets a fool, suspense immediately arises, the fog is heavy, and the whole heart of movie fans is suspended, extremely nervous.
