At present, the total global box office has risen to [-] million yuan, becoming the best-selling Chinese film of the year."

mmetime.com's box office report did not make any special mentions. From the first week, everyone had expected that the box office explosion of "Infernal Affairs" was an inevitable phenomenon, and the period of surprise had already passed.

In fact, from the very beginning, many people had good expectations for the box office of "Infernal Affairs".

Wan Xiaohu has directed three films before, and each of them has made a lot of money. In the field of commercial films, he is absolutely the best among all the directors in the mainland.

While the box office is booming, the net worth of several leading actors is also skyrocketing. Some media have already said that "Infernal Affairs" has made the four film stars reach the pinnacle of their careers.

The one who feels the most is Huang Qiusheng.

When accepting an exclusive interview with "New Express", Huang Qiusheng expressed his heart.

"I used to be just an actor. If someone asked me to play the opposite, I would play the opposite. I had no choice. After the performance, everyone said, look at Huang Qiusheng, he is really abnormal. I don't think so. You have no choice, you have made so many movies, you have won awards, you are nominated every year, but others think you are a pervert, and if you have a pervert role, you will be asked to act in it."

"At the beginning I didn't think about making "Infernal Affairs". I felt that there was nothing to do, and I couldn't show any acting skills. After I took over the role, I found it a very pleasant thing to work with Wan Xiaohu. He gave you the opportunity to show yourself. We had a scene of falling from a building. He told me, Brother Sheng, figure it out for yourself, this is an asshole. So I half-closed my eyes, and everyone agreed."

"I used to be just an actor. After filming this, I feel a bit like a star when I walk on the street. Suddenly, people think that Huang Qiusheng is not a pervert, and many girls like you. The world is so strange. After half a lifetime, I finally borrowed "Infernal Affairs" comes and goes."

"My biggest hope in the future is that I can shoot all the characters that Andy Lau has filmed. I am also an idol now!"

Huang Qiusheng became a star, and Zeng Zhiwei also relied on the role of Han Chen to make his status as an old Hong Kong drama star as stable as Mount Tai.Liang Chaowei is no longer his only love for art films.Not only did Liu Dehua not worry about it beforehand.Playing a villain affected his image, but increased his popularity. Fans love his Liu Jianming.

The star's net worth soared, and the screenwriters Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Qiang also became popular because of the movie.

Once, after the banquet, Mai Zhaohui drunkenly made a long-distance movie call and thanked Wan Xiaohu ramblingly over the phone.

"Xiao Hu, I have made several films. I was scolded. I almost couldn't get along. I had to change my job to make a living. I thank you. If you hadn't made "Infernal Affairs", no one in Hong Kong would know who Mak Siu Fai was. , I, Mak Siu Fai, is full of talent, but no one knows you, you are my bole!"

"Old Mai, you must have drunk too much."

"I didn't drink much. I only drank more than a catty... Xiaohu, let me tell you, I really want to thank you. Now I finally taste what it's like to be popular. Today I went to dinner with Qiang. The bosses of several film companies, They all came over and stuffed their business cards, saying that Director Mai invited you to write a script for us, and you can ask for any money, haha..."

Mai Zhaohui was still rambling on and said: "Haha, I, Mai Zhaohui, used to look for them, bowing and begging. I lost my backbone, but now I've changed it. But I haven't forgotten that people have to rely on themselves. We If you can write "Infernal Affairs", you can write more good scripts. Qiang and I have already written the first draft of "Infernal Affairs 2", Xiaohu, I will fly to the capital in a few days, you can take a look at the draft .”

"it is good."

"Okay, that's it. I know you're busy, so I won't bother you. I put all my heart and soul into filming "Infernal Affairs 2". If I want others to see me, Mak Siu-fai, it's not that I can't make good movies... "

The speed at which Hong Kong films can produce a movie is quite fast. "Infernal Affairs" is so popular, so it is logical to start preparations for "Infernal Affairs 2". Once the script is finalized, the cast can be cast and started.In this regard, Universal Films is even more anxious than Dandelion Films.

Dandelion has no shortage of projects, and as a mainland film company itself, the production cycle of a film is quite long.Huanyu is Hong Kong-style. Before the painting is finished here, Dandelion is being urged to make a sequel soon.In "Infernal Affairs", although Huanyu didn't invest in it, it can distribute this piece as an agent and earn a lot of money.

All the people attached to "Infernal Affairs" have benefited from the movie beyond their imagination.The biggest benefit is still the director Wan Xiaohu.

Since the beginning of the new millennium, several "phenomenal" people or things have been born every year in the Chinese entertainment industry.

For example, the phenomenon of Xiaoyan in 2000, the phenomenon of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Sassy Girl in 2001, and the phenomenon of Infernal Affairs now.His Sassy Girl phenomenon and Infernal Affairs phenomenon were all created by Wan Xiaohu.

"When "Waiting Alone" was released two years ago, many people who paid attention to this movie were thinking that this director named Wan Xiaohu, who was born in 80, had an unlimited future. But at the same time, we also thought, Maybe this growth process will take ten years, or even 20 years.”

"But immediately afterwards, the first domestic science fiction film "Butterfly Effect" pushed Wan Xiaohu into the ranks of the first generation of directors, belonging to a group of new directors emerging from the underground. In 2001, "My Sassy Girlfriend" , and made Wan Xiaohu the flag-bearer of the first-generation director."

"From a potential director to the first-generation director to bear the flag, this is already an incredible leap, ten years earlier than we imagined! Now, "Infernal Affairs" directed by Wan Xiaohu has made him rise to the top of the world It is one of the palaces of Chinese film masters."

"In the past, Wan Xiaohu gave audiences the impression of vulgarity and superficiality. As many media people commented, Wan Xiaohu would always kitsch audiences. Many directors even classified Wan Xiaohu and Feng Xiaogang as obscene directors, making obscene movies. "Waiting Alone" only has women in its eyes, and "The Butterfly Effect" is just for old friends. "My Sassy Girl" only describes two people falling in love, which is so vulgar that it makes people speechless."

"But as soon as "Infernal Affairs" came out, people who originally despised Wan Xiaohu were definitely slapped on the face, which hurt very painful. The audience rating on Mtime.com is 9.2 points, which is currently the highest among Chinese-language movies. It is the same as "Alive", "Farewell My Concubine" tied for an unprecedented full score for Nortel's graduation work. Hong Kong people praised it as the rescue work of Hong Kong movies. The box office shocked the Chinese film circle. It's constantly being refreshed."

"Now everyone has crowned Wan Xiaohu with the title of Master of Chinese Film Business. The reason why the word "business" is added is because Wan Xiaohu has not yet won an award to prove himself. However, it is said that the Venice Film Festival has sent an invitation. "Infernal Affairs" went to Venice to participate in the exhibition. Golden Horse Golden Horse Award. "Infernal Affairs" has undoubtedly become a big hit this year, who can guarantee that Wan Xiaohu will not become an international director in the next moment?"

Facing the rise of the box office, reports of praise are not uncommon.

And just as this "New Weekly" special report said, the Venice Film Festival sent an invitation letter to Dandelion Film Company, inviting "Infernal Affairs" to participate in the film festival.

The Venice International Film Festival is an international film festival held on the Lido Island in Venice, Italy from August to September every year.Together with Cannes and Berlin, it is called the world's three major international film festivals, and the highest award is the Golden Lion Award.The Venice Film Festival was founded in 8.It is the oldest film festival in the world and the first international film festival in the world, known as "the father of international film festivals".

Although the Venice Film Festival puts forward different judging slogans every year, the purpose has not changed for decades. There is only one, and that is artistry.

Can be invited to the Venice Film Festival.It shows that "Infernal Affairs" has gained international recognition for its artistic achievements.

Of course, "Infernal Affairs" was only invited to the non-competition screening unit, not the main competition unit, and it could only be screened and not participate in winning prizes.

"I was invited by Venice. I am very happy. This film can be exhibited in Europe. I hope it will be valued by European and American film producers. The market there is huge, so it will not be so difficult to make a film." Wan Xiaohu The reporter was stuck in the road and had to make a speech about this.

No matter whether it can be sold in Europe or not, as long as it can participate in the exhibition, it is a good start.

Now "Infernal Affairs" has opened up a phenomenal level, and this effect is irresistible, even if "Infernal Affairs" fails in Europe and the United States, it's not like Wan Xiaohu has never seen the remake of "Infernal Affairs" into the US version, the big deal Find a chance to shoot this version again, money, sooner or later it will be yours!

……

"I really like "Infernal Affairs". Every line of dialogue is worth recalling for a long time. It is definitely a representative work of Wan Xiaohu's promotion to master!" Netizen [I don't know anything] logged in to Mtime.com early in the morning, hanging out in the post bar message.

And he just left a message, and three new announcements popped up on the scrolling message bar at the top of the post bar.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" has been released as a sister chapter. According to Dandelion Films, "Sassy Senior Sister" has officially submitted the plan. The film still stars Jeon Ji-hyun to create a new round of savage storm. The former assistant director Cheng Er is the director and Wan Xiaohu is the producer. Producer, Rise of the Barbaric!

According to Dandelion Films staff, the sequel will not be released. Wan Xiaohu will be the director, Mak Siu-fai will direct, and Wan Xiaohu will be the producer! It is expected to be released in 2003."

"Damn, what's going on here? Dandelion is going to release three sequels, this is a bunch of sequels!" Netizen [风天火地] expressed shock.

"Wan Xiaohu stopped making movies and became a producer instead?" Netizen [Killing the Rabbit] expressed doubts.

"As soon as he became a master, he changed his career. Wan Xiaohu can be regarded as a representative of rapid retreat. Could it be that he has exhausted his talents?" Netizen [yr Huang He] questioned.

"Don't spread rumors, Dao Wan's talent is like a torrential river, endless, he must be brewing a big plan." Netizen [coco2016] rebutted.

Netizen [I am Guolong] expressed support: "The above is right, Wan Xiaohu must take a break to make films one by one, and think about the next one. Besides, "Infernal Affairs" is still in theaters. It’s too blind to worry about whether Wan Xiaohu will make a movie. Let’s talk about fun, I guess "Infernal Affairs" hits 15000 million yuan at the mainland box office, how about you?"

Not only netizens are concerned, but the media is also concerned.

"Beijing Youth Daily": "Where is the end of "Infernal Affairs"?"
