Chapter 612 "Infernal Affairs" becomes popular

As time went by, the wireless martial arts masterpiece "Little Li Flying Knife" starring Chen Xiaotang started broadcasting. That night, everyone stayed at home and watched Li Xunhuan played by Chen Xiaotang. Even the busiest Polish Street Lan Kwai Fong and other places are extraordinarily quiet, not to mention drunks, not even a drunk cat.

It is unprecedented that a star can make the whole of Hong Kong like this.

Having said that, as the last TV series of the big star Chen Xiaotang, and as a drama in which he completely distanced himself from TVB, this martial arts giant has received everyone's expectations. Now, once it starts broadcasting, of course it will trigger a gunpowder explosion. All people watch.

That night, TVB's prime-time ratings reached an unprecedented 63 points!Created a new record for the highest TV ratings!

You know, the highest TV ratings record in Hong Kong was the Miss Hong Kong election in 78. The ratings were as high as 44 points, and the highest ratings in TV dramas were only [-] points. Now the drama starring Chen Xiaotang can be supported by him alone. It's a miracle that the viewership ratings of TV dramas are higher than that of variety shows!
Turning around, Hong Kong ATV TV station, as an old rival, can only lament about this TVB TV series. Chen Xiaotang's personal charm or personality cult is really too powerful. It can be said that it has affected the entire Hong Kong audience. When a celebrity fights in the ring, it is simply that the birthday star always eats arsenic-looking for death.

Faced with such a situation, ATV used variety shows to compete with TVB in a very curvaceous manner.Since you can't resist, you can find your own pleasure in being ravaged.

Of course, as the big boss of ATV TV station, Mr. Qiu Degen is very upset. Don’t forget, Chen Xiaotang took the shares of ATV. As a shareholder of ATV, he is considered half of ATV. Miserable, I choose, it is too unreasonable.

So Mr. Qiu called Chen Xiaotang.

"Tang Zai, you are too unkind, how can you help outsiders beat your own family!"

"Old Qiu, I can't help it either. Since I have an appointment with him, I must fulfill it, right?"

"Then you can't be so desperate. When filming, put a little water and act a little bit, so we can fight against it!"

"Hehe, Mr. Qiu, that's not right. No matter who I am, first of all I'm an actor, as long as it's my role, I will do it [-]% well!"

"Okay, I guess I was wrong... Hehe, when you get over it, help ATV, ATV needs you!"

"Don't worry, I will!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile, "If you really can't wait, I happen to have a self-made drama called "Meteor Garden". Are you interested?"

"Meteor Garden" is the first idol drama in Hong Kong history, and Chen Xiaotang decided to launch it on ATV.It all depends on whether Qiu Degen has courage and vision.

At this time, Mr. Qiu was already overwhelmed by wireless. Every suggestion of Chen Xiaotang was a life-saving straw, not to mention that he had heard about it. this one? !

Thinking of this, Mr. Qiu couldn't wait to say: "Ah Tang, if you say yes, it will be yes. I will keep this drama for me. It's up to you whether we ATV can turn around or not!"

"Hehe, don't worry, this drama will only belong to ATV!"

"That's a good deal!"

With Chen Xiaotang's promise, Qiu Degen seemed to be reassured, wireless, just wait, don't look at you having a good time now, be careful to make a list in the future!

As for the TV series starring Chen Xiaotang, the outside world is polarized.

There is a good saying, praise Chen Xiaotang as the most handsome Li Xunhuan in history, and think that his acting skills are absolutely superb, and he has perfectly portrayed the character of Li Xunhuan.

There are also objections.Thinking that Chen Xiaotang is too handsome is the biggest failure. As we all know, in Gu Long's original novel, Li Xunhuan is already a down-and-out uncle over 30 years old. How can Chen Xiaotang be so handsome and invincible? !What's more, although Chen Xiaotang's acting skills are good, it is precisely because of his excellent acting skills that it brings out the mental retardation of some actors' acting skills.

No matter what, the drama "Little Li Feidao" continued to be highly rated amidst polarized evaluations, and its ratings have been soaring all the way, making it so popular that it makes people jealous.

Under such high temperature conditions, "Infernal Affairs" completed by Moying Entertainment was finally fully released on June 1985, 6 after some editing.

As the boss, Chen Xiaotang once again broke the tradition and did not prepare the so-called trial screenings at all, and directly let the movie be screened in its theaters.

According to his point of view, since Moying Entertainment wants to show its own brand, it is necessary for all Hong Kong audiences to establish a concept: even if there is no trial screening of Moying Entertainment's drama, it is definitely a good show!
This kind of concept is somewhat similar to that when Shaw Brothers dominated Xiangjiang before: Shaw Brothers products must be excellent products!

What's more, this drama was written and produced by Chen Xiaotang himself. Even if Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei are not super big-name stars, relying on Chen Xiaotang's current fame alone, he will definitely be able to kill the world.

as predicted.

Under the influence of Chen Xiaotang's hot popularity, the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" has become superfluous. The majority of fans and movie fans have already become eagerly awaiting everything Chen Xiaotang has involved. What's more, this drama is a huge production that Chen Xiaotang personally supervised after his comeback. Chen Xiaotang's four words "Xiangjiang Talent" alone have aroused great public interest.Therefore, when "Infernal Affairs" was released in major theaters on the first day, it had already reached the popularity of hard-to-find tickets.

The performance of Liang Chaowei and Huang Rihua in the movie did not disappoint many lucky people who bought tickets.Those who like action movies can enjoy a series of thrilling blasting designs, speed car chases, stimulating gun battles and other visual impact scenes in this movie; A classic humorous dialogue; and those who like literary films, let alone, the biggest advantage of this film itself is that it turns police films into art, especially the emotional dramas performed by protagonists such as Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei with female characters, although the proportion is not high. There are many, but the finishing touch is touching, so that the audience can express their feelings to their heart's content.Even those who don't like literary and artistic styles, if they think of reality, they will have a special feeling for the emotional drama in the movie.As for those who like to watch the police and robbers fight wits and bravery, then they really have to enjoy it from beginning to end.In short, no matter who is watching, they get great satisfaction from this film.

For the vast number of Chen Xiaotang fans, the ending song in this movie is selected from Chen Xiaotang's new album "It's not a crime for a man to cry". When the elevator was in a pool of blood, the music sounded in time, and when Chen Xiaotang's voice matched the sadness of the ending song, floating in the entire venue, the movie theater was filled with mourning. Sensitive fans have been completely conquered by this drama, and put themselves into this movie. In this play, it is very emotional.

Let's talk about the scene of the balcony confrontation in "Infernal Affairs". After the film ended, it received unanimous praise and was called a classic scene in the history of film.

It's no wonder that through Chen Xiaotang's continuous improvement in shooting, this scene not only reproduces the classic scenes of the previous life, but also achieves meticulous attention to detail in terms of character portrayal and dialogue, without any flaws.And the director, Fatty Wang Jing, let the photographer use the best angle to shoot the most beautiful pictures. The blending of scenes is the soul of the whole play. How can it not be amazing?
Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that the box office will be a big hit.In just three days of release, the box office has exceeded [-] million, breaking the film record created by Moying Entertainment itself.

As a result, Chen Xiaotang has also become the most profitable person in the entire entertainment industry. With this movie he supervised, he has established a new position in the movie industry in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest movie tycoon in the legend.

The media that continued to hype Chen Xiaotang naturally commented on this film like a wave. The hero Jin Yong also published an article in his "Ming Pao" column, turning from a martial arts master to a temporary film critic, and published his own the opinion of.

Master Jin Yong first said straight to the point: "Whether a movie can be successful, or how successful it can be, there are many reasons. "Infernal Affairs" is definitely a very ambitious blockbuster, but it can achieve such a big success. It’s still surprising.”

For the success of "Infernal Affairs", Jin Yong attributed it to three points: "First of all, Chen Xiaotang's performance in the music scene some time ago has aroused fans' expectations for this film. Especially the release of the album "The Return of the King" Afterwards, the MV for "It's not a sin for a man to cry" was taken from the movie "Infernal Affairs", so people can't wait for the release of this movie. That's exactly what I am. To be honest, I usually don't like it very much. Watching movies, although I was a screenwriter before writing martial arts dramas, but after listening to this album, I can't help but want to see what the movie looks like."

"Secondly, Chen Xiaotang's last TV series is currently being broadcast on TV. The popularity of this drama has also played a role in fueling the flames. It would be unfair to say that Chen Xiaotang used this series to hype this film, but it did play a role. The effect of hype is also true.”

"Finally, I want to talk about the two male protagonists of this movie, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei. It is said that after they finish filming this movie, they will officially terminate their contract with TVB and join Moying Entertainment. In other words, the success of this movie will It will herald that the two of them will officially enter the film industry and become Chen Xiaotang's right-hand man. Together with the original Li Lianjie, they will stage the legend of "Three Heroes". When this movie was filmed, Liang Chaowei, who was originally less popular, However, it broke out that Ye Zimei, who used electric eyes to make a cameo appearance in this drama, had sparks with this natural beauty in a fake drama, so that Wei Zai's current girlfriend Zeng Huaqian became very jealous... This kind of love triangle scandal undoubtedly gave The vast audience has added countless gossip pleasures, ordinary people have the problem of peeking into people's privacy, I believe it is only influenced by gossip news, and there are not a few people who watch this film purely for the excitement."

Then, Jin Yong, who used to work as a film screenwriter at the Great Wall Film Company, couldn't hold back because of his enthusiasm for writing, and even analyzed the film from a technical point of view: "Although I think the success of the film exceeds its due , but as I said at the beginning, this is an ambitious blockbuster, and it can even be said to be an extremely radical film. First of all, the gunfight action scenes are smooth and creative, which is already a great visual enjoyment, quite It means paying tribute to Hollywood blockbusters. Secondly, the plot is not procrastinating, and the plots of wits and courage are well designed. The whole story is exciting and philosophical. The above two points are enough to become an excellent commercial film, but the advantages Not only that, the emotional drama is the finishing touch, and it is also very deep, which makes people feel a lot of emotion after watching. It is precisely because of the emotional performance between the characters that this film has surpassed the scope of purely commercial films, and has a certain aspect of literary films. These characteristics make it an excellent film."

In the end, Jin Yong concluded: "In short, this film is definitely the best police film I have ever encountered, especially the restrained connotation, which is so impressive that it surpasses ordinary entertainment films and reaches an unprecedented height. .Just like what this drama has explained about the Buddhist scriptures of hell, the height of this drama has broken through the shackles of hell, and the future will definitely go straight into the sky and become eternity."

The upsurge of "Infernal Affairs" also affected the release of Chen Xiaotang's record. Many fans who had not bought the album "The Return of the King" turned into fans after watching the film, just to listen to the ending theme song "Cry Man" It's not a crime".That is one of the main songs in Chen Xiaotang's "Return of the King" album.

Who would have thought that the singing album, which had already gone viral, would be re-ignited because of this movie, making people buy this album again when they were chasing the movie.This kind of mutual assistance in sales has formed a one-stop model of song and film, and Chen Xiaotang can be regarded as No.1 in history.

The rising box office of movies has already made people happy, and the hot sale of "Infernal Affairs" caused by this made everyone unbelievable and even more ecstatic.

Almost everyone related to this movie has benefited from the popularity of "Infernal Affairs". Fatty Wang Jing took this opportunity to step into the ranks of great directors and took off the stinky hat of only directing shit movies; Liu Dehua He and Liang Chaowei became the most popular niche in the film industry, and they became very popular; even Huang Rihua, Guo Fucheng and others who played supporting roles began to gain popularity. , even ordinary employees can get more money from future film dividends.For a moment, everyone was overjoyed and recognized the golden signs of Moying Entertainment and Chen Xiaotang.

Produced by Moying, it must be a good product!
In the case of "Infernal Affairs" continued high temperature, as the instigator of this classic drama, the big star Chen Xiaotang has been consoling the orphans non-stop, because since his secret charity work was made public, Chen Xiaotang felt it There is no need to hide it anymore, so in public, he promised that if the box office of "Infernal Affairs" breaks through 500 million, he will donate [-] million to charity, and now he is fulfilling this promise.

Chen Xiaotang's donation of 500 million ignited the philanthropy of the entire entertainment industry again. On the basis of the charity ambassador, Chen Xiaotang was awarded the title of "Hong Kong Top Ten Outstanding Youth" by the Hong Kong British Government.In recognition of his achievements in the film industry and philanthropy.

If I remember correctly, it will be Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming and others who will receive this title in the future.

But for Chen Xiaotang, such an honor is dispensable, because for him, it has no practical significance, it is better to give him some special policies to support the rapid development of his company.

You know, entering Hollywood has become Chen Xiaotang's biggest dream, and now this dream still needs the backing of strength.

Just when Chen Xiaotang was saying that the British Hong Kong government was meaningless, and that he was only talking about rhetoric and not practical, Sir Youde brought Chen Xiaotang an amazing message - the land in Tseung Kwan O will be released soon. auction!

When Chen Xiaotang got the news, he was really shocked, because as far as he knew, the land auction in Tseung Kwan O was done after 2000 in his previous life, why is it suddenly brought forward now? !
Before Chen Xiaotang finished thinking, the Lord Governor said on the phone: "This is an opportunity, I like Moying Entertainment very much, my dear, if your company wants to develop, you must have your own movie theater, right?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!
Chen Xiaotang understood what Hong Kong governor Youde meant, and also understood that the sweet pastry thrown by the other party was very tempting.

Last year, due to the construction of the Red Pavilion stadium, the funds owed to developers and builders were allocated this year. Now the Hong Kong and British governments are in financial constraints and need to raise funds to alleviate the "black hole" inside.And Lord Youde, the governor of Hong Kong, is indeed a good hand at making money, and immediately thought of auctioning the land at a high price.

But land alone is not enough, there must be competitors. Today’s Hong Kong is different from previous lives. Many big companies are rushing for land. Due to the existence of objective factors such as [-], many rich people dare not wantonly buy properties in Hong Kong. Therefore, land auctions Very depressed.

Hong Kong governor Youde thought of this idea, and made a few more phone calls to spread the news of the land auction. As long as someone is willing to take the lead, they will definitely be able to take advantage of the trend.

Now who is the most famous in Hong Kong, you don't need to guess, of course it is Chen Xiaotang from Moying Entertainment!

Chen Xiaotang earned a total of [-] million yuan with one play, which has become a myth in the entire circle.

As long as this God of Wealth is willing to come out to bid for the auction, it will definitely trigger an auction earthquake. After all, what Chen Xiaotang likes must be a treasure!

That's why Sir Youde took so much pains to call Chen Xiaotang personally to inform him.
