It was in such an exaggerated announcement that the time quietly came to 11.13.

The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" will be held at the Medal Theater in Beijing at [-]:[-] p.m., and it will be screened simultaneously across Asia the next day.

Wei Xun, Bai Qianchi, Zeng Wei and Chen Qiuheng appeared on the red carpet.

In addition, dozens of film critics, film festival judges, and editors-in-chief of relevant industry magazines were also invited today.

Of course, the one who attracted the most attention was the thin, kind-looking white man standing between Wei Xun and Bai Qianchi.

His name is Jean Besson, and he will be the chairman of the jury at next year's Cannes Film Festival. Judging from the fiery eyes of the surrounding media and invited guests, he knows that this old man is the object of everyone's interest today.

It's just that Jean Besson seems to have been chatting happily with Wei Xun all the time, and has no time to take care of others.

Netizens who watched the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet frantically swiped their screens in the real-time barrage live broadcast room.

"It seems that only works can gain the respect of others. Jean-Besson is not a friendly and good-tempered person. He is also a famous 'iron mouth' in France. Now he chats with Director Wei quite happily."

"I heard that Jean Besson is a fan of Saw."

"Hahaha, so it's really amazing. A few days ago, Mr. Zhou He was secretly showing off in front of the media, recommending Liu Qiren's "Going to the Countryside" to Jean-Besson. As soon as he turned around, Director Wei directly told Jean-Besson - Besson is here."

""Saw" is really good. Not only Jean-Besson, but many top Hollywood directors have memorized this movie. But I still care more about the word-of-mouth of "Infernal Affairs". Fortunately, tomorrow We can see it, looking forward to it.”

According to the usual practice, the first half of the movie premiere is the time for media interviews, and the second half is when the media are not allowed to enter the venue to watch the movie.

On the temporary interview stand outside the theater, after answering some questions from the media, Wei Xun and Jean Besson walked towards the theater together.

This French old man is almost 70 years old this year. Not only is he physically strong, but he is also very talkative. He is also a fan of horror movies and also a fan of "Saw".

So after meeting Wei Xun, the two chatted happily.

"So, maybe I can see the second part of "Chain Saw" next year, and you are the screenwriter?"

Received Wei Xun's affirmative answer, Mr. Jean-Besson did not hide his pleasure at all: "Oh, that is really exciting, but now I have to watch "Infernal Affairs" first. But I have to say in advance, If it's not up to par, I'm not going to favor you over Saw."

Kang Cheng has already arrived in Hollywood, and the filming of "Saw 2" will soon be on the agenda.

Wei Xun smiled and said, "Then you have to read it before deciding."

Jean Besson also smiled: "Wei, I like your confidence."

At this moment in the cinema, many people have already taken their seats.

Not long after Wei Xun and Jean Besson entered the stage, "Infernal Affairs" officially began to be broadcast.

Because of the presence of Jean Besson, the version premiered today has French subtitles.

As the lights in the cinema gradually dimmed, subtitles began to appear on the big screen.

Actor/screenwriter/director: Wei Xun.

Self-written, directed and acted, such things are very common in Wei Xun's films, and the Chinese film critics present are also accustomed to it, but Jean-Besson raised his eyebrows in surprise.

But soon, Jean-Besson could no longer be surprised.

Because the story officially begins.

In the first few minutes, the grievances between the triads and the police were introduced. Both sides chose their own people to go undercover to the other side.

Then the camera turned, and Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, both undercover agents, met in a record store.

Liu Jianming played by Bai Qianchi is okay, because he is a policeman, so no matter his appearance and temperament, he is very upright.

But Chen Yongren, played by Wei Xun, has an unshaven beard and slightly greasy long hair. His whole body is full of indescribable fatigue and depression, especially his moist and deep eyes, which makes people unable to bear it at a glance. Want to sink in.

This is a pair of eyes with a story.

Jean-Besson praised in his heart.

True film masters know that, as the windows of the soul, the eyes convey emotions, which is very important for film actors.

And Wei Xun's appearance for just a few minutes is enough to make Besson feel amazing.

Film critics such as Song Ziwen were also amazed.

Especially Song Ziwen, he can be said to have watched Wei Xun grow up slowly over the years. Cheng Yong in "The God of Medicine" last year was enough for Song Ziwen to be amazed, but seeing Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs" today, A voice sounded in Song Ziwen's mind.

This role is more attractive than Cheng Yong.

And that was indeed the case. For the next hour and a half, the exclamation and admiration in the movie theater never stopped.
