tearjerker director

Chapter 635 If there is a choice, no one is willing to be an undercover agent (fifth update, please order)
The whole film "Infernal Affairs" is absolutely luxurious in Li Yi's memory, with the five major movie stars playing on the same stage.

However, in Li Yi's hands, let alone the top five movie kings, even the lineup of all movie kings and queens is not impossible!
In fact, what Li Yi said earlier, it is true that Hong Kong films have an advantage over the mainland in terms of police and gangster films.

For example, the movie "Infernal Affairs" can be said that it is impossible for you to shoot it in the mainland. Not only that, the logic is also illogical.

It is not uncommon for the Hong Kong Island police to go undercover, but it is basically impossible for the community anti-undercover police force to happen in the mainland.

But in the special period of Hong Kong Island, this kind of thing is really uncommon!

However, Li Yi deliberately found a retired old Hong Kong policeman through his relationship. The other party had been an undercover agent for eight years.

After all, although movies are artistic creations, they can be a little exaggerated relative to reality, but they cannot be completely divorced from reality.

"Hello, Mo Sir!" Li Yi met the retired old Hong Kong policeman in a coffee shop.

"Director Li, hello!" Mo Weiming smiled and shook hands with Li Yi.

Li Yi is actually also very interested in undercover matters. Movies are movies after all, and reality is reality.

Mo Weiming soon fell into memory.

"Being an undercover agent is actually really miserable. You don't talk about it all day long, and you are afraid that you will expose yourself by talking in your sleep. Not only do you have to guard against the enemy, but you must also guard against your own people!"

"Beware of your own people?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes, in the early years, you know that before the ICAC was established, that period of history led to a very bad reputation for the Hong Kong police in society. The police force recruited student police from the society. As a result, the threshold is actually not high. Many people in society, including young and Dangerous, can become police officers as long as they have no criminal record. Therefore, the police can send undercover agents to clubs, and clubs can also send undercover agents to the police force."

"Not only that, after the undercover agent returned to the police force, life was difficult. Many people looked at you with colored glasses, because no one really believed that you were always in the dark and your heart was bright, and this kind of You think that after making a huge sacrifice, not only did you not get affirmation, but you were also suspected by your own people. That feeling is really uncomfortable, so most of the time, if you have a choice, no one will really be willing to be undercover.

Because choosing to be an undercover agent means giving up too many things!

There was even a leak of the police undercover list back then, and many undercovers died tragically. Therefore, being an undercover in Hong Kong Island is really miserable! "

Many people watch Hong Kong Island movies, and many places find it incredible, because, in the mainland, especially after the 21st century, gangs and gangs of the underworld have almost been wiped out directly.

However, in Hong Kong Island movies, clubs are an integral part of society. Young and Dangerous people should not be too common.

The darkest era of Hong Kong Island, even a family of police and robbers.

The police force on Hong Kong Island has also experienced many transformations. At the beginning, the period of collusion between police and robbers can be said to be a product of history. At that time, the association and the police force almost wore a pair of trousers.

This special historical background is actually, to some extent, also one of the reasons why gangster films on Hong Kong Island are popular.

In the mainland, associations send undercover police officers, which is simply off-line!

The conversation with Mo Weiming can be said to have deepened Li Yi's understanding of undercover agents.

Only a very small part of it is filmed in the movie. The real undercover is actually far more difficult than the movie.

Because in the movie, at least a character like Chen Yongren doesn't have much family ties, but in the real world, like Mo Weiming, he has a family.

After that, Li Yi visited several old Hong Kong policemen and got more relevant information.

Some movies really don't have a complete script, and the director just needs to follow the script to shoot.

It's really not that easy. For example, in "Infernal Affairs", if Li Yi wants to shoot, he must first understand those years, the social environment of Hong Kong Island, and so on.

Another example is how the police system on Hong Kong Island works, how the real undercover system works, such as associations, criminal organizations on Hong Kong Island, etc., etc.

These directors must have a certain understanding, otherwise, the things you shoot will easily lose their flavor.

After the script of "Infernal Affairs" was finished, Li Yi started to get Zhuo Yixiong to start preparing the crew.

After the news came out, many people were incomparably stunned.

The media on Hong Kong Island shouted that the revival of Hong Kong films is expected.

But the reaction of the media and netizens in the mainland is completely opposite.

"No, Director Dog, if you are being threatened, just blink!"

"Renaissance of Hong Kong movies? Are you kidding me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, it's okay to make gangster movies on Hong Kong Island, but the revival of Hong Kong movies? Let's forget it!"

"Does Director Dog want to challenge the difficulty of hell?"

"Although the revival of Hong Kong films has been publicized, the gangster film directed by Dog is still worth looking forward to!"

"Did you find out that there seem to be very few gangster movies on the market at present!"

"."

In fact, there are quite a few fans of old Hong Kong movies. It can be said that many of them grew up watching old Hong Kong movies.

But it is precisely because of this that I understand more clearly the meaning of the words "Renaissance of Hong Kong Films".

At the same time, I also understand better that this is really not something that one or two movies can do.

The decline of Hong Kong films is all-round!
However, despite this, Li Yi's movies still garnered countless attention.

And I felt that everyone in the movie circle was surprised after getting the news.

Because it's too fast.

But I feel that the actors in the entertainment industry are all beaten like chicken blood.

Except for Hong Kong-flavored films like "The King of Comedy", the films that Li Yi has made in the past, it can be said that Hong Kong island actors are rarely used in other films.

But this time is different. Since it is in the name of the revival of Hong Kong films, then this Hong Kong Island gangster film will definitely give priority to Hong Kong Island actors.

So everyone's thoughts became active, and they started to move one after another.

What does Li Yi's film represent?
One step to the sky!

"Isn't it? Do you want to be so demonic? How long has it been? You really figured it out?" Chen Weijie was a little taken aback when he received a call from Li Yi asking him to come to the company to read the script and talk about the characters.

Because it has only been more than a month since Li Yi proposed that the key to the revival of Hong Kong films lies in police films, and promised Chen Han that he would consider directing a police film himself.

Li Yi actually fiddled with the script directly.

Although I know that Li Yi is a quick shooter, but this time is different.

Chen Weijie knows the criticality of Li Yi's movie too well.

It can be said that countless pairs of eyes are staring and looking forward to it.

The renaissance of Hong Kong films has been shouted too many times by Hong Kong filmmakers.

There are too many Hong Kong films promoted under this banner.

But the result?
But this time, it's really different.

If even Li Yi's banner of revival of Hong Kong films fails, the consequences will be extremely dire.

And Li Yi had never made any movie of this type before!
