Chapter 428 Being followed

"Infernal Affairs" celebration banquet.

Celebrities from half of Hong Kong Island came, and the scene was very lively.

Media reporters gathered even more, and even some tabloids that had made random reports and offended Su Zhe were invited.

At their strong request, Su Zhe agreed to be interviewed——

Reporter: "After "Infernal Affairs" broke the record, many fans said that you had surpassed Mr. X and other predecessors. What do you think?"

Su Zhe brought up the theory of "each one shines" again and said it in Cantonese.

I have to say that this answer is very useful, and it highlights that it is neither humble nor arrogant.

The reporter failed to raise the issue and collected the carriage fare, so the next question became much simpler.

Asked about interesting things about the filming of "Infernal Affairs", asked Su Zhe how he wrote this story, asked about his acting skills, etc.

"Of course it's an honor to be recognized by the industry, but this is not what I pursue. The reason why I shoot realistic themes is simple. I saw some bad things, felt it, and wrote the script in one go."

The reporter was stunned and suddenly caught the big news:

"You mean, these dramas are based on true stories?"

If it turns out to be a hit, let’s continue making a sequel.

There is no need to write a third part, so we can only make a sequel to Liu Jianming, describe his ending, and add some stories about Chen Yongren's life.

"Infernal Affairs" does have a sequel, but the quality is average and there aren't many scenes with Chen Yongren.

Su Zhe didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. He showed a mysterious smile and ended the interview.

Detective dramas are the most suitable for sequels. As long as the detective is alive, wouldn't it be enough to film a case?

Didn't you watch the Grim Reaper, a primary school student who has been repeating a grade for so many years, not to mention it's over, and can't even bear to go to higher school?

But "Infernal Affairs" is different, it is a complete story.

It's equivalent to "Overheard". Parts 1, 2, and 3 have nothing to do with each other. It's just that the three leading actors have not been replaced.

But no matter whether "Tang Detective" is good or not, it has the potential to make a sequel after all, so it is normal to continue filming.

This is the method he learned from Jiang Yang and Zhang Chao——

Somewhat similar to "Infernal Affairs", "The Overheard" has a very complete story. The three main protagonists are almost dead, and there is no thought of a sequel.

The whole world knows that a hit sequel carries the least risk. Didn't even Su Zhe continue filming the "Tang Detective" series?

But "Infernal Affairs" is a completely original script. There is no prototype and no one can find it.

This series has finally come to an end.

But he is a star, and he doesn't need to resort to such decisive measures as committing suicide or dumping his body on the subway to attract national attention.

"It's a rescue effort."

Both of these methods are a bit strange. The former is like following a dog's tail, while the latter is like selling dog meat by selling sheep's head.

Some reporters asked him why he has been shooting realistic themes recently. Is he trying to win awards?

Even the important supporting characters Big B and Silly Qiang died.

"Anyway, "Infernal Affairs" will definitely be a big success."

But "Eavesdropping" changed its thinking. It didn't change the actors or make a prequel, but just changed it to a new story, with eavesdropping as the core.

But everyone's first reaction was, of course, that he was talking about "Infernal Affairs", and they would look for Chen Yongren's prototype, which triggered a craze.

It just so happens that the original novel also has more stories, so the second part simply talks about the prequel, supplementing and perfecting the previous stories of the four major characters.

Su Zhe was very cooperative and answered every question.

Seeing this, Mr. Niu laughed and said:

"Brother Su, your propaganda methods are great! Claiming that "Infernal Affairs" is adapted from a true story can attract attention."

No matter how reporters pressed him, he stopped answering.

No matter where you are, who doesn’t like a pair of legs that can take everyone flying?

Su Zhe laughed and fooled him.

But making money is not shabby.

After throwing the bait, Su Zhe concentrated on attending the banquet and dealing with the celebrities.

(Replacement in the second part, supporting role in the third part)

What else is Su Zhe filming?

In the previous life, the first part of "Infernal Affairs" was a very complete story, and there was no thought of making a sequel.

So three of the four major characters (Chen, Liu, Huang, and Han) died, and even all of them died in the mainland version.

The stars also continued to compliment him:

Arouse public attention step by step. Don't make big moves at the beginning to attract the enemy's vigilance and blockade.

Su Zhe smiled, but he didn't say that the story he adapted was "Infernal Affairs".

"Su Sheng, the best actor in Hong Kong this year is the civil war between you and King Wei Tian."

At that point, with a little guidance from him, everyone's attention will shift to "The Silent Truth."

This does not leave any foreshadowing for the sequel at all, at most it leaves some aftertaste and blank space (such as Huang Han's conflict).

Su Zhe smiled:

Su Zhe understood that everyone wanted him to start working again and make eight out of ten "Infernal Affairs" movies.

"Infernal Affairs", "The Silent Truth" and "Young You" are all realistic themes. In the first two works, Su Zhe's acting skills were highly praised. No wonder everyone has this idea.

But after it was released, it received a great reputation and the box office was very high, so I couldn't give it up.

Su Zhe had already decided that he would not continue filming and add stain to this classic.

He doesn’t lack this little money, so why bother using the sequel to cheat him out of money?

Su Zhe thought so, but didn't say it out loud, as if he was being arrogant.

But the celebrities present were all fine people. They could see what Su Zhe was thinking and couldn't help but sigh:

"Just shoot two sequels and earn at least hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion, right? You are really arrogant. You have so much money lying on the roadside, but you just don't bend down to pick it up."

"No wonder Su Sheng can earn tens of billions. This is the arrogance of a talented man."

"As an artist, when can you become as successful as Su Sheng? It's really enviable."

Others are thinking:

"Since Su Sheng doesn't want to make this money, how about we make a follow-up movie?"

"The likes of "The Departed", "The Departed", "The Departed", etc., please invite a few more original cast members."

If they did this, Su Zhe really had no choice.

He can't just monopolize all the titles of "Infernal Affairs" after filming "Infernal Affairs" and prevent others from taking them, right?

He had no choice but to invite the original actors to star. Everyone in "Infernal Affairs" except him was on Hong Kong Island. They could arrange the plot at will without informing him.

As long as Su Zhe doesn't blatantly claim to be a sequel to "Infernal Affairs" in the promotion, Su Zhe has no reason to object.

He could only sigh:

"Bad movies that follow the trend are a cancer in Hong Kong movies."

When many people recall Hong Kong movies, they say that following the trend of bad movies led to the decline of Hong Kong movies. The typical representative is that after Uncle Nine became popular, a large number of shoddy zombie movies emerged that followed the trend of Uncle Nine.

In fact, this is a bit one-sided.

In fact, there are also bad movies in Hollywood that follow the trend.

For example, the famous "Sharknado" was so bad that it even produced sequels one after another!

There are also many parodies. To put it bluntly, they are following popular works, but they are parodied in a ridiculing way.
