This Star Wants To Retire

Chapter 785: it's just part 1

The movie "Infernal Affairs" ends here.

Qian Zhengyi watched the subtitles echoing from the beginning to the end of the movie, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He also imagined that in the finale, Liu Jianming got out of the elevator, the police surrounded him, and then arrested him.

But compared with Luo Mo's ending, he would feel that such a regular ending is too weak.

Moreover, it will be very unreasonable, and it will appear that the extremely classic rooftop show is very unnecessary.

In his opinion, this ending is ironic and dark.

Especially the moment the elevator door opened, the first close-up shot was Liu Jianming's police officer ID.

Holding his police officer's card aloft, he walked out slowly, with a calm expression on his face.

This reminded him of the conversation on the rooftop.

"Sorry, I'm a policeman." Chen Yongren said.

"Who knows?" Liu Jianming said.

If Li Xin'er hadn't found the undercover certificate in President Ye's belongings, he would have been nothing but a young and Dangerous boy until his death.

In the theater, the lights came on.

Qian Qingyun and Qian Zhengyi, father and son, could still hear the conversation of the audience in the front row.

"Ah! This ending makes me so uncomfortable."

"I think it's awesome!"

"It's amazing, it actually passed the trial. Luo Mo is really a **** little genius who passed the trial."

Of course, after the movie is over, many viewers will communicate with each other whether the movie is good or not.

For Chinese New Year, who doesn't want to watch a good movie?

If the movie is not good, it is a waste of money on an auspicious day, which is somewhat unlucky.

And the audience in the cinema hall gave it unfathomable praise!

"Luo Mo's acting skills are really awesome!"

"I think it's time to get the actor!"

"I even felt that Hua Jiaqun did not perform as well as him several times, especially the eye scenes."

"Damn, you stabbed yourself again, it's so **** annoying, and the acting is so **** good!"

"The movie is really good, it exceeded my expectations."

Qian Qingyun and Qian Zhengyi didn't get up until the audience in the theater had basically left.

After returning to the car, Qian Zhengyi asked curiously, "Dad, if you were to rate this movie, how much would you rate this movie?"

"Five past nine." Qian Qingyun said.

"So high?" Qian Zheng was slightly startled.

"Is it high? When will you be able to make a movie of this level... No, it's fine if it's a good one. I'll definitely retire right away and go home to take care of myself." Qian Qingyun glanced at him, annoyed road.

Qian Zheng opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

On the way home, both father and son discuss the movie.

Qian Zhengyi seemed to be talking about his impressions, but was frequently interrupted by his father.

In many places, Qian Qingyun and Qian Zhengyi have different understandings.

At the same time, Qian Qingyun also added a lot of details to Qian Zhengyi, as well as what he didn't understand.

From the beginning to the end of the movie, Qian Zhengyi was not sure what Liu Jianming was thinking.

Does he want to be a good person?

Every time he felt that Liu Jianming wanted to be a good person, he would immediately do a bad thing.

It's really speechless!

And Qian Qingyun's personal understanding is: "He thinks, to be precise, the word I prefer to use is-he is struggling."

"But he is completely different from Chen Yongren."

"Although Chen Yongren has been undercover for many years and has a lot of experience in gangs, fighting is commonplace, but he is very positive in the movie."

"Liu Jianming's character creation is actually more difficult than Chen Yongren's."

"He is not completely good, nor is he completely bad. This is my personal opinion."

"When he went to the rooftop to find Chen Yongren, he went there with expectations."

"He hopes that Chen Yongren will make a deal with him and give him a chance to be a good person."

"But because he is not a policeman in his bones, and Chen Yongren has always been a policeman in his bones, so there is such a situation."

"How can the police negotiate conditions with prisoners?"

"How can the police negotiate conditions with prisoners?"

"Chen Yongren doesn't intend to let him go, this is his first step into the abyss in his heart."

"And the second step is the appearance of Big B."

Hearing this, Qian Zheng, who was driving, was taken aback.

He has a different view.

"Wouldn't the appearance of the big b just happen to help Liu Jianming clear his name?" He couldn't help but ask.

Big B is really stupid and bad. He still thinks that Han Chen doesn't like him because Brother Chen doesn't know what to do.

He actually told Liu Jianming, and he helped him clear up all the criminal evidence from Han Chen.

Forget it, and gave him the gun.

It is obvious that someone who can become a community of destiny can rely on a secret to eat him for a lifetime.

But he left everything in the other party's hands.

Your surrender... your sincerity is a bit too great.

Therefore, Qian Zhengyi felt that Big B was simply Liu Jianming's light, his salvation!

Hearing this, Qian Qingyun glanced at his son with a bit of disgust.

"I'm not discussing whitewashing with you, I'm talking about his inner world."

"Oh." Qian Zhengyi hastily agreed.

"As a director, I seriously suspect that you didn't notice a powerful imagery scene in the last few episodes." Qian Qingyun frowned: "I originally thought that with your standard, you should have noticed it 100%."

"Dad, which one are you talking about?" Qian Zheng became nervous for a moment.

He really didn't notice anything, but in the words, he asked "Which one" on purpose.

"It's the shot of the elevator falling."

"In this shot, there is no clear description of what happened in the elevator, but the elevator was continuously falling in the elevator shaft, and then accompanied by gunshots, Liu Jianming shot and killed Big B."

"Have you noticed that in this shot, there is light and dark intertwined at the beginning."

"But as the elevator kept falling and the gunshots kept ringing, it finally fell into an endless abyss!"

"According to the movie language of this movie, that is to enter the endless hell!"

As soon as Qian Zheng heard this, he recalled the scene and couldn't help but feel excited.

Yes, this lens probably has such a meaning!

The most classic scenes of this movie all happened on the rooftop and in the elevator.

Elevators can go up and down.

Does the rooftop symbolize good images like heaven?

You know, in the rooftop drama, several close-ups were given to the dazzling sunlight in the sky.

Chen Yongren also said: "I'm not like you, I can't see the light."

If you think about these meanings carefully, they are also very clear.

And the falling of the elevator is naturally falling into the endless hell!

The elevator is [passage]!

After Qian Qingyun's dialing, Qian Zheng instantly felt enlightened.

He realized it all at once.

Yes, starting from the shaping of Liu Jianming's role, he has always wanted to be a good person, at least a good person without any stains on the bright side and without any dark history.

But there are always people who keep appearing and become his new stain.

He didn't know the existence of big b before.

Then, how would he know how many of these so-called "brothers from the same school" are there, and are there any in the police station?

The moment the elevator door opened, Liu Jianming, who had already fallen into the endless hell, walked out with his police officer ID, no different from the past.

This so-called is no different and is the scariest!

He is still him!

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."

Whether you really want redemption, or you just want to clean up completely... Sorry, you still have no choice!

You have to continue to live and suffer as before.

Some died, but perhaps that was a relief.

Some people live, but suffer all their lives and cannot be redeemed.

It is precisely because of this that at the end of the movie, the line of words appears: "[Buddha said: Those who experience the inexhaustible body will never die, and longevity is the catastrophe in the inexhaustible hell.]"

Qian Zhengyi really fell in love with Luo Mo.

It is hard for him to imagine that this film is a commercial film.

Yes, "Infernal Affairs" has all the attributes of this kind of undercover commercial film.

Very exciting, very tense, with many climaxes, as well as elements such as gun battles and intellectual battles.

But it happens that the characterization is even better, and a large number of supporting roles are extremely brilliant.

Even more powerful is the discussion of human nature!

That kind of involuntary, that kind of anxiety, that kind of psychological lack of complete [identity]....

But our oriental movies all have an oriental color, very restrained and reserved.

This restrained and implicit expression makes many contents more intriguing.

To be honest, in this movie, there are too many high-end gadgets that Qian Zhengyi can't play for a while.

To be precise, he felt that there was a big gap between himself and Luo Mo when it came to the "sense of rhythm" that was emphasized in commercial movies.

If nothing else, just talk about the scene where Huang Zhicheng died.

Really relaxed!

He felt that when he was watching, a heart first lifted up, then fell down, then lifted up again, and finally shattered with a crash.

The father and son discussed all the way, and at the end, Qian Qingyun couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"In the 1980s and 1990s, I and a few representatives of mainland directors fought to the death with Hong Kong directors."

"It's the same after 2000."

"Now that I think about it, this kind of gangster movie, this kind of soldier and thief, I don't know how many Hong Kong movies have been made."

"Everyone feels that they can't shoot tricks."

"Luo Mo finally gathered the strengths of a hundred schools of thought."

"Back then, if I had met "Infernal Affairs"."

"I might not even dare to fight him!" Qian Qingyun said.

"No, it's not just me, Feng Ji and the others probably wouldn't dare to fight him!" Qian Qingyun added.

 …

 …

"Infernal Affairs" was very popular on the day it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The movie's screening rate for this year's Spring Festival is 27.8%.

This screening rate is quite high, but in Luo Mo's films, especially when he directs and acts in himself, it is considered low even if it does not break 30%.

In fact, there are some unspoken rules of Blue Star here. Luo Mo is not surprised that the screening rate did not break 30% on the first day.

Luo Mo is looking forward to the box office of this movie.

After all, "Infernal Affairs" was the rescue work of the Hong Kong film market back then.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the total box office of "Infernal Affairs" had already broken through the 300 million mark.

In fact, by this time, the box office has stabilized.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is when theaters are the most popular, and many people will buy tickets in advance, otherwise it is really hard to grab.

But it should not be difficult to break 350 million.

This is already the first-day box office record for a Hong Kong film!

If it really broke 350 million in the end, it would be tantamount to raising the first-day box office record of Hong Kong films by 1.5 small goals!

However, the box office on the first day has never been the most concerned statistic for Luo Mo.

People in the industry, no one will take "Infernal Affairs"'s first-day box office seriously.

The gimmick that Luo Mo directed and acted alone is worth hundreds of millions!

His movies won't hit the box office on the first day.

The key point is to look at word of mouth and follow-up influence.

The most interesting thing is that the criteria for judging whether a Hong Kong film is good or bad on the mainland and Hong Kong Island are not necessarily completely consistent.

After all, the environment is different.

For a movie like "Infernal Affairs", if the background is changed to the mainland, then a lot of content will probably be specially changed.

This is a very Hong Kong Island-like movie. To some extent, it fits the history of Hong Kong Island and the original environment.

In fact, since the afternoon, film reviews and short reviews have been appearing all over the Internet.

Like the Hong Kong media, there are still some media who do not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, just squatting in the theater, waiting to interview everyone, and asking them if "Infernal Affairs" is good or not.

The result is of course - praise!

Many Hong Kong residents said that when they first saw Luo Molai directing a Hong Kong film, and even made a slogan of saving the market, they always felt weird.

Everyone also likes Luo Mo very much, but this is a Hong Kong movie!

Therefore, it is normal to feel conflicted.

Everyone does not think that an "outsider" can save the Hong Kong film market.

But after entering the theater and watching the movie, everyone felt that this was completely different from the gangster movies everyone had seen before!

It's very enjoyable to play with several big movie stars.

But everyone felt that there would be a lot of big scenes at the beginning.

For example, all kinds of awesome blasting, all kinds of bullets, all kinds of invincible special effects...

Luo Mo has already proved in "The Wandering Earth" that he is a good hand when it comes to big scenes.

But at this point, "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly "disappointing".

However, you still feel very exciting, very nervous, and feel very emotional!

This reflects the skill of a director.

Don't rely on visual effects to make everyone secrete hormones.

But rely on other more detailed things!

When everyone on Hong Kong Island walked out of the theater, they were all saying: "The movie is so good!"

As of early morning, the first-day box office of "Infernal Affairs" was 367 million, ranking first in this year's Spring Festival.

If nothing else, the box office will go up tomorrow, and it will go up a lot.

On the second day of the new year, Luo Mo received a WeChat message from Qian Qingyun.

He first said that he had watched "Infernal Affairs" and that he liked it very much. He wished Luo Mo a big hit at the box office.

Then, the old acquaintance asked a question that countless colleagues cared about.

"How did you manage to let it pass the trial?" Old Qian asked. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In any case, Liu Jianming's hands were covered with blood.

He was not punished by law in the end, and it stands to reason that the audit department would not pass the trial.

In the past, there were some reasons why Luo Mo's works passed the review. For example, the story background of "Manslaughter" was not in China, for example, "The Hidden Corner" had two endings, one bright and one dark.

Like on Earth, the Mandarin version of "Infernal Affairs" has an additional arrest scene, and there is no follow-up scene of Chen Yongren's funeral, which is much less flavorful.

Luo Mo replied by typing: "It's very simple, because I told them that this is not the final ending. "Infernal Affairs" is a series, and this is only the first part."
