tearjerker director

Chapter 677 It's Not What You Think!
The eighth day of the new year.

Beijing Four Seasons Hotel.

The launch conference of Li Yi's new film project was held here.

The press conference site was already full of seats early!
Both sides of the main stage were filled with cameras early on.

The reporters below were also looking forward to it.

Before the press conference started, everyone inevitably discussed it.

"I don't know if it's a sequel to Infernal Affairs?"

"It shouldn't be? Didn't Li Yi say that he doesn't plan to continue directing the sequel?"

"It's hard to say. After all, what happened recently made Li Yixuan launch a press conference at this time. It's hard to say that there was no response to these public opinions."

"Hey, these directors on Hong Kong Island really don't know what's going on. They're not newcomers anymore. Li Yi has set up a stage for them, but all of them are eager for quick success and quick profit. , if I were Li Yi, I would have given up hope for them a long time ago."

"So you're not Li Yi. The revival of Hong Kong movies, even the revival of police and gangster movies, is a huge achievement for Li Yi. He doesn't lack anything now, so he must pursue something, right?"

"."

At this time, a reporter saw Fang Nan, the queen host of Li Yi's press conference, once again took the lead on the middle stage.

Immediately, the media reporters fell silent tacitly.

Fang Nan started the opening speech.

"grateful."

After a routine opening.

Li Yi walked up.

"It's still the old rule. First, let me introduce the main actors of the new movie."

Li Yi said with a smile.

Then followed Chen Weijie, Liang Feng, Luo Xian, Zhuang Bin and other original cast members of "Infernal Affairs" walked up one after another.

The reporters all agreed unanimously that it was the sequel to "Infernal Affairs"!
After all, the main actors have all come out, and almost all of them are from "Infernal Affairs", so what else is there to say?

At this time, Chen Weijie picked up the microphone and introduced: "Hi everyone, I am Chen Weijie, playing the thief in the movie, Hua Tsai!!"

"WHAT?"

Hearing Chen Weijie's introduction, the media below were immediately dumbfounded.

What the hell?

thief?Andy?

Isn't it a sequel to "Infernal Affairs"?

Isn't it Liu Jianming?

Is the sequel lineup adjusted?
But this is wrong!

Then there was Liang Feng.

"Hi everyone, I'm Liang Feng, playing the policeman in the film, negotiator expert, He Shangsheng!"

"Hi everyone, I'm Luo Xian, and I'm Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Serious Crime Squad!"

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhuang Bin, playing the big boss bald guy in the movie!"

"Hello everyone"

As the main actors introduced themselves one by one, the media below were completely overwhelmed.

"What the hell? Are you using the original cast of "Infernal Affairs" to make other movies?"

"Director Dog really knows how to play!"

"Who would have thought of this!"

"This operation is really buggy!"

Suddenly there was a lot of noise.

There's no way, Li Yi can't fix them all by doing this.

It's obvious that they are the original crew, none of them are bad, even the idiots are there, but what the hell, everyone's roles have changed.

It was obviously a new film, but what surprised them even more was that this time it was another Hong Kong Island police and gangster film in which two heroes confronted each other.

But it is not the sequel of "Infernal Affairs" that everyone guessed!
It can be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

This is what Li Yi wants. Don't think that the result of the press conference is the same anyway, so the process is not important?

In fact, this is really not the case. During the press conference, if the reporters remember it deeply, then they will be even more profound when they report.

After all, even they are shaken, aren't they?

"By the way, I forgot to mention, the name of this new film is "Dark War"!"

Li Yi said with a smile.

All the reporters below rolled their eyes. Have you forgotten that meow?
Are you doing this on purpose?
However, despite this, the reporters became even more excited.

After all, what's the point of being teased?
The key is to be predictable!
Soon came the interview session that the reporters liked the most.

"Director Li, can you introduce this new film?" the first reporter asked.

"'Dark War' tells the story of a cop and a thief over the course of 72 hours."

Gone?

The reporter was dumbfounded.

The other reporters were all like that.

As expected of you, director dog, other film directors can't wait to introduce at length, but Li Yi always seems extremely perfunctory every time!

However, this group of sand sculpture reporters obviously did not want to give up.

The second reporter followed the first reporter's question and asked, "Director Li, can you introduce it in more detail?"

"Okay, let me explain in detail. In the movie, Brother Jie plays an elegant and confident thief, while Liang Feng plays a fast-paced and shrewd negotiator in the movie. This movie is about this pair of soldiers. The love and killing between thieves is an intricate relationship and emotion between men and men! Ahem, don’t get me wrong, it’s pure sympathy, not what you imagined!”

The reporters once again collectively rolled their eyes.

What is not what we imagined?
What are we thinking?

We didn't think about anything, did we?

On the contrary, your introduction like this is really "detailed"!

Moreover, what the hell are you emphasizing?

Afraid we don't want to be crooked?
Falling in love and killing each other?It sounds like it's full of that, okay?

With two excellent reporters returning in a feather, the next reporter did not continue to chase after him, but asked a question that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

"Director Li, after "Infernal Affairs", in half a year, more than eight gangster films on Hong Kong Island were released, but almost none of them actually sold well. Does the road lie in gangster movies on Hong Kong Island?"

"That's a good question! However, I don't agree with what you said that there are almost no real blockbusters."

"Wouldn't Chen Manshan's "Border Walker" and Ye Hong's "Undercover Project" be considered a success?"

"Many people have fallen into a misunderstanding. It seems that the so-called success and the so-called blockbuster must be as high as the box office, but they ignore the fact that the box office of "Edge Walker" exceeded 4 million, and the ratings are also high. Not low. Although "Undercover Project" has a box office of over 20 million so far, it is of course inconspicuous among other box office box office of more than [-] billion during the Spring Festival. But it cannot be said that their movie is not a blockbuster, right? "

"The cost of "Edge Walker" is 5000 million, the box office is more than 4 million, and the return rate of the box office is more than 8 times. Is this not a hit?"

"The cost of "Undercover Project" is only 500 million. Looking at it now, it is not a problem to have a box office of more than 1.5 million. At least ten times the box office return rate, such a result is not a hit?"
