February 16th, the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is good to pay wealth

Ye Fan miscalculated. Even if he turned off the phone, the sound of firecrackers early in the morning and the music of "Congratulations on the Rich" in the alley still woke him up. It was useless to wear earplugs.

When he got up early to wash up, he saw Ye Chu and Cao Xin, who were in trouble, and Ye Fan felt comforted. Fortunately, he was not the only one who suffered.

Looking at Cao Xin with dark circles on her eyes, Ye Fan teased: "Sister Xin, what time do you sleep at night and have a pair of panda eyes?"

“Haha~”

When Ye Chu heard this, he brushed his teeth and smiled foolishly.

Cao Xin gave the two of them a blank look and said, "You are not watching your "Kunlun Temple". After reading it early, I can chat with netizens online. You don't post it early. No wonder your book fans named you ace pigeon! "

"Puchi, hahaha~"

Ye Chu couldn't hold back now and immediately burst into laughter. The water bath was sprayed with toothpaste.

When Ye Fan heard this nickname, his smile stuttered. Who got the nickname? This Internet has such a good idea, and Ye Fan didn't know how to refute it for a while.

"Which clever gave me nickname? Where did I do? I have already written it fast enough. OK, I wrote a little last night."

Ye Fan's words made Cao Xin's eyes lit up.

"Really? Then you guys wash first. I'll go and check out the contents of the lower part. Then I can show it to netizens."

"Anyway, I think it's right for netizens to give you this nickname. If you write it well in the lower part, I can say good things for you."

Before Ye Fan could "quibble" again, Cao Xin went straight to his room, leaving only Ye Chu who was smiling and brushing his teeth and Ye Fan with a black look on his face...

After breakfast, as soon as Ye Fan turned on his cell phone, the phone rang immediately.

"Hey? It's Boss Yang, what's wrong?"

"Yesterday's first-day box office of "Infernal Affairs" was 5.2837 million HKD, surpassing your first-day box office of "Brutal Girlfriend" and breaking the Hong Kong movie record."

"Oh, that's OK. It's estimated that the box office will be more than 25 million in one week. What about the other two movies?"

"Uh... "The King of Comedy" has 3.615 million, and "The Bottle of Glass" has 3.942 million, which is quite a big gap, but there are obviously fewer people watching these two movies today."

"There is not much difference, and it's not overwhelming. Boss Yang, you have to work harder in publicity!"

No wonder Boss Xiang didn't want to call Ye Fan. Even though Boss Yang had been reminded by him, Ye Fan's attitude of pretending to be breaking still made Boss Yang's mouth twitch a little, and his hand holding the phone couldn't help but tighten.

Ye Fan's attitude is really annoying.

What he is talking about is human language? That's Stephen Chow and Cheng Long. Who dares to say that they can beat them up on one and two?

Boss Yang was so angry that he didn't want to tell him more about this.

"We estimate that the box office of Infernal Affairs in Hong Kong will exceed 50 million, and it is not impossible for 60 million, so I would like to ask you when will Infernal Affairs start filming?"

Ye Fan thought for a while and said, "Let me write my script first. I guess I will not have time in the second half of the year, and there will be another drama in March."

"What about the other two movies?"

"That's fast, the script should be written next month, and you can shoot it first."

"Okay, but I heard from Jinghua that you only invest in "Old Boy" and not participate in the production?"

"This movie is not suitable for being released in the mainland, but if I don't participate, it doesn't mean I won't ask. I must ensure the quality of the movie."

"This is fine. The script you write must respect your opinion."

This is Ye Fan. He would not dare to make this request to Boss Yang or even the crew when he changed to any other screenwriter in Hong Kong Island.

When will there be screenwriters in Hong Kong be the emperor of the crew? It’s all over to see if the capital teaches you whether you are a human being.

Then Ye Fan encouraged Boss Yang to ask Brother Hua and Leslie Cheung to have more roadshows, and then hung up the phone.

Friendship is friendship, but he doesn’t need to work overtime anyway. In order to earn more box office, he can only let them operate more. Ye Da Capitalist flexibly goes online!

Before Ye Fan could ease, Han Sanye called again and told him that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland on the first day reached 11.758 million, lower than the box office of "Who Am I" last year, but it has a lot of momentum.

Ye Fan is quite satisfied with this data. "Infernal Affairs" in his previous life was aired in the mainland half a year after it was released on Hong Kong Island.

At that time, piracy was already rampant and many people had watched it. In addition, the ending of the mainland version made the audience dissatisfied, so the box office was only more than 10 million.

Now "Infernal Affairs" is released simultaneously throughout Asia. Ye Fan's works, along with Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung, have a very strong box office appeal in the mainland.

In addition, "The Savage Girlfriend" has been postponed to the present, and the box office in the mainland has increased from 64.684 million to 77.361 million, and the box office in Hong Kong has also accumulated to 59.673 million Hong Kong dollars, with a total box office of more than 350 million, and has reached 360 million.

The box office of "See You" has also accumulated to 42.33 million, and the old film can win some box offices in the Spring Festival days.

In Taiwan, "Infernal Affairs" had the lowest box office on the first day, only 2.671 million yuan, but compared with the original history, the box office was much better.

The original history "Infernal Affairs" was released in Taiwan Province in mid-December 2002, and it was only NT$5 million by the end of the month, which is more than RMB 1 million, which is really miserable.

"Glass Bottle" has the highest box office in Chinese films, and the highest box office is the American movie "The Crisis of the Bug". It's really a good leek in Hollywood...

Then Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau and Chen Daoming called Ye Fan one by one. In addition to discussing the box office of "Infernal Affairs" with Ye Fan, he also expressed his gratitude to him.

The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" not only caused a magnitude 9 earthquake in Hong Kong, but also received a good reputation.

Even professional film critics who think the movie has flaws will immediately change their views on Infernal Affairs after watching "The King of Comedy" and "Glass Bottle".

If you don’t know, you can see the gap between movies by comparing them.

In this regard, Ye Fan can only thank his friends for his strong support...uh...helpful support, and he still needs to respect Stephen Chow and Cheng Long...

Just as Ye Fan was busy answering the phone, the media's reports on three movies including "Infernal Affairs" were also released.

"Hong Kong films have not declined, "Infernal Affairs" allows me to see that Hong Kong films are still prosperous!"

"Infernal Affairs" - a peak-level movie in Hong Kong films, with a box office of 5.2837 million on the first day that broke the box office record of Hong Kong films!

"Infernal Affairs" has multiple protagonists, multiple personalities, complex and grand historical background, which writes a new pattern of undercover movies!"

"The movie story combined with the thoughts of Hell in the Infernal Affairs makes Infernal Affairs a soulful movie!"

"Infernal Affairs" is a classic Hong Kong police and gangster movie, and its appearance has written a new meaning in Hong Kong movies"

"Infernal Affairs": A super classic Hong Kong film written by a mainlander!

"Infernal Affairs" has booked various awards for the Academy Awards in advance, and Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau compete for the position of actor!"

"The King of Comedy" - Stephen Chow transformed and produced, but the content of the movie is not satisfactory"

"Step Chow interprets himself in "The King of Comedy". He is a good actor, but there is only one Stephen Chow in the world"

"Glass Bottle" - Cheng Long's subversive work, but the effect is not satisfactory"

"Cheng Long wants to expand his acting career, but "Glass Bottle" proves that he is still suitable for purer fighting scenes"

...

There is no doubt that the media and film critics have all praised the reviews of "Infernal Affairs".

This can be seen from the audience's reaction after watching "Infernal Affairs" yesterday that many viewers spontaneously applauded after watching "Infernal Affairs".

This is not a situation, but every scene is there. Some people even think that the movie has many details, and then they brush "Infernal Affairs" twice and third.

The only controversial thing about "Infernal Affairs" is that this is a script written by Ye Fan, which makes some Hong Kong media praise it while others are unhappy.

Fortunately, most of the main creators of "Infernal Affairs" are Hong Kong Islanders, which makes many people more likely to accept.

After all, no matter how well you wrote Ye Fan’s script, you still have to use Hong Kong stars and crew to make this movie? Otherwise, how could there be such a high box office?

This cannot be wrong, but no matter how sad they are, Ye Fan is the one who makes the most profit from "Infernal Affairs". Such controversy will only make "Infernal Affairs" more box office and fame!

"The King of Comedy" and "Glass Bottle" are not so lucky. The two movies in the previous life can still achieve a high box office and a good reputation.

But now "Infernal Affairs" is born early to compete with them. Without comparison, there will be no harm. In the 1999th New Year holiday, Stephen Chow and Cheng Long were destined to be the stepping stones for Ye Fan.

When Stephen Chow saw these reports, he didn't say anything after watching them quietly. The box office and reputation of "The King of Comedy" were not bad in his opinion, but he just met the monster Ye Fan.

But with so many director experience in films, he found his own directorial path. He believed that his next self-written and directed film would definitely be well received and popular!

As for Cheng Long, the box office reputation of "Glass Bottle" was not ideal, and coupled with the failure of the transformation, he was a little disappointed, regretful and unwilling to accept it.

Last year, "Rush Hour" was released, but it earned a box office of US$245 million worldwide, but it has not been released in Hong Kong and mainland China.

If it can be released simultaneously, he should be the one who broke the box office record. Even if it is approved to be released in the mainland later, piracy has become rampant and the box office will not be too high.

However, no matter how they think, they can't change the facts. As soon as the reputation of three movies such as "Infernal Affairs" came out, the number of viewers on Hong Kong Island changed greatly.

Not to mention that there are many people from mainland cities near Hong Kong Island who want to watch the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", and then went to Hong Kong Island to contribute the box office, which made the box office of "Infernal Affairs" increase steadily in Hong Kong Island.

And not only Hong Kong Island and the Mainland, Ye Fan heard that "Infernal Affairs" not only has a good reputation in overseas countries, but also has good box office data.

In the original history, Hong Kong films were already lost in 2002, so the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" was mainly released in Hong Kong Island, and was only released in March and April of the following year in countries such as Japan and South Korea.

This leads to the good reputation of "Infernal Affairs" overseas, but the box office is not high.

But it is different now. "Infernal Affairs" is released simultaneously in various countries and regions, especially Leslie Cheung.

His popularity in Japan and South Korea is definitely not comparable to Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei, even Ye Fan is slightly worse at this time.

Andy Lau is also very popular in Southeast Asia.

This made "Infernal Affairs" quickly popular in countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, which is also why Ye Fan wanted Leslie Cheung to replace Liang Chaowei to act.

Of course, after "Infernal Affairs" became popular, Ye Fan's ending song and soundtrack also became popular, and it was impeccable.

Because there are three versions of "Infernal Affairs", the Cantonese and Mandarin versions sung by Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung, and the Mandarin versions of Ye Fan.
