First day of premiere: 5896 million;
The second day of release: 9785 million;
The third day of release: 8632 million;
The fourth day of release: 7756 million...

Generally speaking, the box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" can't be said to be very good, but at least it is not bad. Although compared with Zhang Liang's other films, this box office is a bit of a failure, but how to say this figure is still impressive. Many people are somewhat disappointed.

Is it the problem of the work or the actors, the problem of the director or the problem of the screenwriter? The drop in box office every day naturally made many people start to criticize Zhang Liang's movie. , at this moment, it seems to have turned the gun again, and began to pick and choose all kinds of wrong things about "Infernal Affairs".

It even extends to the loneliness of Xiangjiang movies.

Indeed, after experiencing such a glorious period, Xiangjiang Films has indeed become lonely.Over the years, whether it is a well-known director or a new director, they have been working hard to shoot new movies, but in the end they all performed mediocrely, and the box office was even more dismal, and many of them even lost their money.

Whether it's the box office problem, the audience's increasingly critical vision, or various dislikes and disapproval, Xiangjiang movies are becoming rarer and rarer nowadays, and naturally there are even fewer worth watching. Well, even the famous Xiangjiang Film Awards have been merged by the Golden Horse Awards, which shows the bleakness of Xiangjiang movies.

This time, although it is Zhang Liang's work, and even though Liu Dehua is a superstar, Xiangjiang movies are just Xiangjiang movies after all, especially this kind of police and gangster movies, which seem to be popular only in the last century.

But fortunately, with the existence of Zhang Liang and Liu Dehua, although "Infernal Affairs" is not continuing to create box office myths, at least it will not lose money. After all, according to this rhythm, "Infernal Affairs" should barely earn a box office of [-] to [-] million Is it still possible?This is already considered a good achievement in the Chinese film circle, but as Zhang Liang's work, it was somewhat of a failure.

For all kinds of attacks by the trolls, for the disappointment of the crowd who didn't know the truth, etc., Liu Dehua was somewhat aggrieved, but Zhang Liang didn't care. Concerned about this, when he made "Infernal Affairs", his starting point was not for the box office. If it was for the box office, he could have made some high-grossing movies, such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", "Monster Hunt 2" "etc.

Although, with his explosive acting skills, whether Liu Dehu's title of best actor will be affected by him, but no matter how everyone worked hard in this movie, especially Liu Dehua, what kind of final result, we will wait and see That's it.

Time passed day by day, when this group of people were chatting freely and expressing all kinds of disdain for "Infernal Affairs", a miraculous thing happened so suddenly.

The fifth day of release: 6389 million;
The sixth day of release: 8926 million;
Seventh day of release: 1.36 million;
Eighth day of release: 1.68 million;
Ninth day of release: 1.77 million...

After a few days of sluggishness, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" suddenly soared, which simply blinded many people's eyes. What a strange thing, but the big counterattack happened before because no one watched Zhang Liang's movie due to lack of attention and dislike at the beginning, but once he went to see it and discovered its classic, it became popular instantly.

But "Infernal Affairs" is an exception. It does not lack exposure or attention, but during the five days of its release, although the box office is not bad, it is at best not bad, but on the sixth day At the beginning, there was a sharp rise, and from the seventh day onwards, it broke through [-] million every day, which is simply an incomprehensible thing!

However, as the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, when these trolls really don't understand why there is such a sudden counterattack, a student who is said to be only a junior high school student gave them such an explanation: it is finally a holiday!
Yes, the most direct reason affecting the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is nothing but the holidays!

After all, Christmas is just a foreign holiday. The government in China will not arrange any holidays for such a foreign festival. Even in order to take a break for New Year's Day, sometimes even if Christmas happens to be a weekend, they may be arranged to go to school and go to work!

This year's Christmas Eve happens to be Sunday, but because of the unsuitable subject matter, the premiere only earned nearly 6000 million at the box office on the day of the premiere, and the Christmas that followed was a tragic Monday.

On weekdays, there are only a small number of people who have this spare time to go to the cinema to watch movies. Even if you are after school or work, because of various arrangements, or the problem of film scheduling in theaters, many people will not I will choose to go to the movies, after all, I have to go to work and study tomorrow, right?

And even under such circumstances, it still created a box office of nearly [-] million on the second day of its release, which shows how powerful "Infernal Affairs" is.

Many people couldn't bear to be curious and went to the cinema to watch "Infernal Affairs". The impact, but soon, the New Year's Day holiday finally arrived.

This year's New Year's Day holiday arrangement is from the 30th to next year's New Year's Day, which lasts for three days, so the 29th is the sixth day of the release, and the box office has already begun to pick up. After all, it is finally a holiday.

For the next three days, there will be holidays and New Year’s Day, so naturally there will be plenty of time. The curiosity that has been simmering for almost a week can finally be satisfied. Liang Zai's new work, "Infernal Affairs" did not disappoint them in the end, and various posts about "Infernal Affairs" appeared on the Internet one after another.

Of course, the most discussed is not that Zhang Liang has created another classic, but the discussion about Chen Yongren played by Zhang Liang.

Why did Chen Yongren die?Why was Liu Zhiming not exposed in the end?Why hasn't justice been done?Why are good people not rewarded?
Questions such as these are simply endless. The ending of "Infernal Affairs" can be said to completely subvert people's perception of Xiangjiang police and gangster films, especially when Chen Yongren finally discovered Liu Zhiming's identity, and even captured Liu Zhiming , people have already breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and felt that Chen Yongren was finally able to be upright, but the movie style suddenly changed, and Chen Yongren sacrificed like this!
Accompanied by Chen Yongren's unrepentant eyes and expression slowly falling down, and Liu Zhiming's shocked and unbelievable eyes, the moment when the extremely sad background music played, it can be said that the hearts of most audiences are instantly I was pulled, and I don't know why it hurts, very painful.

However, I have to say that it is precisely because of this ending that more people remember "Infernal Affairs", Chen Yongren, and Zhang Liang!

A classic movie that is completely different from all previous works, this time Zhang Liang's work really opened the eyes of many people, and they suddenly realized that police and gangster movies can be made like this!
