"Infernal Affairs" is one of the most famous series of Hong Kong films.

Its success is not just in terms of awards and reputation.

In terms of box office, it is also one of the most popular series of Hong Kong films.

Luo Mo told Qian Qingyun that the reason why his finale can pass the review is because it is only the first one, just "Infernal Affairs 1".

It seems that Liu Jianming is at large, but this is only temporary.

The story hasn't reached its final chapter yet, and the review department doesn't make an exception for itself.

Qian Qingyun: "......."

To be honest, this is just a rhetoric.

The title of your film is not directly called "Infernal Affairs 1"!

Whether there will be a follow-up depends not only on word of mouth but also on box office.

It is true that judging from Luo Mo's current momentum, his movies will never hit both the box office and word-of-mouth.

However, it is normal for a project like a sequel to end without any success, and no one can say for sure.

Especially the kind of creative team that has high demands on themselves will not make endless sequels just for the purpose of making money.

Overall, the review department is still too partial to Luo Mo.

If you have a justifiable reason, you can pass the trial.

Qian Qingyun also thought for a while: "How should we 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 he was shot in the head. He cannot die any more."

Even after the headshot, he was shot again...

Ask yourself, Qian Qingyun personally feels that the role of Chen Yongren is better than Liu Jianming.

Many people on earth also think that Tony Leung Chiu-wai's Chen Yongren is a better actor than Andy Lau's Liu Jianming.

In fact, according to interviews, Tony Leung's wife 6+0 said that Tony Leung did not shoot "Infernal Affairs" for many days and ended the work very early.

Top actor, so terrifying!

In Qian Qingyun's view, Chen Yongren has already died, so it would be a bit difficult to continue filming according to the story line.

Without Luo Mo's personal participation, the audience will be somewhat disappointed.

Unless you make 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 expressions in the movie, Chen Yongren has a daughter, not a son at all!

To be honest, Qian Qingyun was so hooked after watching "Infernal Affairs" that he really wanted to ask Luo Mo how he planned to shoot the sequel.

But it’s not convenient to ask this kind of question.

He just said that he was looking forward to it.

……..

……..

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Infernal Affairs", using professional terminology in the industry, has completed a "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 arranged has only increased a little.

This shows how enthusiastic the audience is about watching the movie!

On the new song list, Xu Chujing's "Forgotten Time" ranks first, which is normal.

Even the background music "Goodbye, Police" made it to the list, ranking second!

The major theater chains will no longer care about the so-called unspoken rules now.

What about Hong Kong movies?

Please increase the number of films arranged!

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the film schedule for "Infernal Affairs" increased by 5%.

During the Spring Festival, an extra 5% film scheduling rate is extremely scary.

At the same time, the word-of-mouth fermentation of "Infernal Affairs" has also completely begun today!

"The best movie this Spring Festival! "Infernal Affairs"!"

"I will be sad if anyone doesn't watch "Infernal Affairs", OK?"

"It's a lot of fun to be the best actor! I hope Luo Mo will sweep all the best actor awards this year! Well, except for the Blossom Award."

"It's so cool. I haven't seen such a cool Hong Kong movie in a long time!"

"I just finished watching the Mandarin version, and I plan to watch the Cantonese version again to see if I have a different feeling!"

Film critics from all walks of life also praised the film one after another. When [Huapet.com] released the score, "Infernal Affairs" temporarily scored as high as 9.5!

Such a terrible score made many people in the industry feel like they were breathing heavily.

"9.5 points? Is it so outrageous?"

"This rating is almost the same as "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!"

"No, Luo Mo is going to make another masterpiece with high box office and reputation?"

You know, during this year’s Spring Festival, the movie with the second-highest rating on [Huaban.com] only had a score of 6.6.

Of course, if you put it on weekdays, a score of 6.6 is actually not bad. After all, Huaban.com is really stingy in scoring.

But compared with this extremely domineering score of 9.5, a score of 6.6 seems very inadequate.

Luo Mo himself has extremely terrifying box office appeal. Coupled with the ratings and reputation 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 increased a lot, directly to 489 million!

Such terrible box office figures have made every filmmaker in Hong Kong so excited that they can’t sleep!

The film industry in Hong Kong Island has always been very busy.

But as the general environment gets worse and worse, and the market becomes more and more depressed, everyone knows that no matter how hard you roll, it will be useless.

Hong Kong Island has not had any newcomers emerge for a long time, and it can only rely on the influence of middle-aged actors and even older actors to support the box office.

This can be seen from the side that the overall environment is really bad.

The great success of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

Everyone sees hope for the recovery of Hong Kong films!

Unexpectedly, the Hong Kong film directed by Luo Mo actually became a rescue film?

Even Cheng Wen, the vice president of Penguin Video, made a special call to inform Luo Mo of a piece of data.

"After "Infernal Affairs" became a hit, the viewing volume of the old Hong Kong movies in our Penguin Video has increased crazily!"

"Especially those classic Hong Kong movies, and Hong Kong police and gangster movies."

Obviously, this movie also stimulated everyone's nostalgia.

Hong Kong films were so brilliant in the past, and generations of people grew up watching them.

Therefore, after "Infernal Affairs" achieved great results, there was an emotional bonus in an instant!

These days, people often criticize it on the Internet, saying: "It's another emotional movie."

Luo Mo didn't feel anything about it.

In his opinion, if a movie can sell emotions, it's not a bad thing.

Only selling feelings, only feelings, that is what should be scolded.

If emotion is only a part of its success, or even a small part, it is just an element in the movie. What is there to complain about?

And these old Hong Kong movies suddenly became popular, causing the popularity and popularity of these middle-aged actors and elderly actors from Hong Kong to soar!

This means that their commercial value will also increase in a short period of time.

This means that they can take on more jobs and have more business income in the future.

Suddenly, countless people were grateful to Luo Mo.

From being slightly skeptical at the beginning, it turned into admiration, even...a bit of awe!

This talented young man is really scary!

Judging from the current momentum, "Infernal Affairs" is expected to break the box office record here on Hong Kong Island!

Many people are thinking, Luo Mo must have been very happy recently, right?
