In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 188 A good movie with a divine song

On the long red carpet, Ji Yu walked with a carefree pace amid the cheers of his fans.

The camera flashes in the reporters' hands kept flashing, recording his high-spirited moment.

Liu Dehua kept waving with a gentleman's smile, showing the calmness and friendliness of the veteran superstar to the fullest.

Liu Dehua is 41 years old this year, and today is his 41st birthday.

The release of Infernal Affairs today also has a special meaning for him.

Fans around the red carpet shouted happy birthday to him and wished the movie a big box office success.

Ji Yu walked beside him and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, this year's birthday is very meaningful."

Liu Dehua smiled and nodded, feeling quite emotional.

In the blink of an eye, he has been in the industry for 20 years and has finally risen from a barber to the position of a superstar.

Infernal Affairs is the best affirmation of his 20 years of debut and also a gift to his fans.

This movie may not win him an award, but it is definitely the movie he put the most effort into!
At the end of the red carpet, he stopped, looked around with a smile, looked at the fans who were shouting his name, waved to them in thanks, and then walked into the Grandview Cinema.

Ji Yu also turned around and laughed, blew kisses to the fans, then turned and walked into the cinema.

Unlike Liu Dehua, his acting career has just begun and he has the vigor and vitality of a young man.

The reporter took pictures of both of them. When two generations of superstars got together, the feeling was completely different.

There is a sense of inheritance.

It’s just that Ji Yu is a student who is better than his teacher, and no one can predict how high he can reach in the future.

At least now Ji Yu does not show any signs of decline, but instead has an inextinguishable spirit of high spirits and perseverance.

At this time, the reporters looked at the empty red carpet and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, as if no one could keep up with them.

I don’t know if there will be any new superstars in the future.

The entertainment industry is becoming increasingly difficult nowadays.

Just as they were about to pack up and follow in, two daredevils suddenly appeared at the other end of the red carpet.

Wang Xinling and Lin Junjie hurriedly ran onto the red carpet and ran inside.

Some people recognized them and couldn't help laughing when they saw them like this.

As reckless as a child in trouble.

But I think they will become mature stars like Ji Yu and Liu Dehua in the future.

Maybe she will become a superstar.

Who knows.

Inside the cinema, thousands of spectators were already checking their tickets to enter.

In the backstage of the cinema, Ji Yu was changing his clothes to prepare for his singing performance on stage.

It’s a premiere, so someone has to perform.

Ji Yu didn't look very happy when he came out after changing his clothes.

Wang Xinling and Lin Junjie felt a little embarrassed standing nearby.

Ji Yu arranged for them to perform on stage tonight to give them a chance to become famous.

We should have come earlier, but who would have thought there would be a traffic jam on the road.

Ji Yu was too lazy to talk to them. Although they were the same age as him, they were newcomers after all and had little experience.

Besides, they don’t even have an assistant around them, they have to rely on themselves for everything, and there will always be things that they are negligent about.

Liu Dehua also pushed the door open at this time and greeted Lin Junjie with a smile. He and Lin Junjie knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other.

After saying hello, he looked at Wang Xinling and praised her a few words, saying that he was looking forward to their album.

Soon the premiere officially began, and under the anticipation of thousands of audiences, Wang Xinling and Lin Junjie took the stage to perform one after another.

They all received a lot of applause and recognition before it was Ji Woo’s turn to perform.

The audience in the audience was instantly excited, and they were all looking forward to Ji Yu singing his new song Wushuang (In the Name of the Father).

Ji Yu will naturally not let everyone down.

Backstage, Liu Dehua looked at Ji Yu who was singing and couldn't help but recall her youth.

At that time, he was as motivated as Ji Yu.

Although he is full of energy now, he lacks the vitality of youth.

I miss that time.

After Ji Yu finished singing a song on the stage, the audience applauded wildly. Liu Dehua took a deep breath, showed a confident smile and walked onto the stage.

Ji Yu also walked off the stage and extended his hand with a smile when he met him.

Liu Dehua smiled, raised her hand and high-fived him, then greeted the audience loudly.

"Hello everyone!"

The audience, which had just been quiet, suddenly cheered again.

"Infernal Affairs is for everyone!" Liu Dehua smiled and waved, and when the music started, he sang the theme song of Infernal Affairs with his distinctive deep voice.

After Liu Dehua finished singing, the big screen in the venue lit up and all the lights went out one by one.

The premiere officially begins.

At the Hong Kong premiere at this time, Chenglong was interacting with Elva Hsiao on the stage, laughing very happily and showing off his arm strength.

Elva Hsiao was picked up by him and screamed and praised him for being so strong.

Then the big brother Chenglong opened the champagne again, and the white champagne foam sprayed all over Elva Hsiao.

The Hong Kong media are used to it. Isn’t Chenglong just that kind of person?

The premiere in Hong Kong was very lively, much more lively than that in mainland China. The event ended half an hour after the screening started in mainland China and the first screening began.

The Infernal Affairs, which was anticipated by countless movie fans, was officially unveiled at this time.

The cinema was very quiet as the audience was attracted by the plot of the movie. Infernal Affairs abandoned the heroism that often appears in Hong Kong movies, and there were even very few action scenes.

It attracts audiences purely by the ups and downs of the plot and the contradictory relationships between the characters.

It was also the first time for the audience to watch such a Hong Kong police and gangster film. It’s not that they haven’t seen films about marginalized people before, but past films were all about the conflicts between the underworld and the police, while Infernal Affairs focused on the conflicts and struggles within the little people.

The movie doesn't have the excitement of big scenes, but it is very gripping.

The audience's attention was almost entirely focused on the plot. No one was talking to each other, no one was bored, and no one went to the bathroom during the show.

It was not until the scene in the movie where Liang Chaowei died in the elevator that everyone came to their senses and were extremely surprised.

The ending isn't justice triumphing over evil?!
The good guy actually died at the last moment.

However, Zhengpai's sudden death also made the meaning of the whole movie more profound. The audience was shocked and their emotions were completely drawn into the movie.

Those who enter the Avici Hell will never be able to be reborn.

When the movie ended, all the audience members slowly exhaled, feeling a tightness in their chests, with an indescribable emotion brewing in their hearts.

At this time, the end credits also began, and Ji Yu's singing voice resounded throughout the screening room, instantly calming the restless audience.

After watching the movie and listening to this song again at this moment, I feel it even more deeply, and can deeply understand the struggle and helplessness of fate in Infernal Affairs.

After the six-minute song ended, the audience was immersed in the mood of the movie for a long time and did not leave until the lights came on.

Hmm. I want to brush it again!
The premiere of Infernal Affairs was very successful and the feedback from the audience was very good.

Many reporters were investigating and interviewing, and the comments were very consistent: this is the best Hong Kong film I have seen in the past decade! At this time, there were not only reporters interviewing audiences, but also interviewing cinema managers from various places.

Understanding the screening schedule and attendance rate of Infernal Affairs can infer the box office.

After comprehensive calculations across all regions of the country, Infernal Affairs had a screening rate of 24% and an attendance rate of about 90%. The attendance rate was higher in the south and slightly lower in the north.

According to current data, the box office on the premiere day should be able to exceed 1.5 million.

Mainly affected by the film schedule,

There were not many screenings of Infernal Affairs during the National Day holiday, and the film with the most screenings was Brother Chen Kai's Together with You.

It’s just that the box office and attendance of "Together with You" are not very good right now.

It is undeniable that this is a good movie, but it is a pity that it does not meet market demand.

Previously, when Brother Chen Kai was promoting his product, the celebrities he contacted complained about the audience.

The highest-grossing domestic film this year was a horror film, The Haunted House, and celebrities criticized the Chinese film market bitterly, saying it was doomed.

To be frank, if the box office of "Together with You" cannot exceed that of "The Haunted House", it will be a tragedy for the Chinese film market and a sign of the degeneration of the audience.

It seems that watching entertainment films means you are uncultured and the whole society is about to collapse.

It's stupid to put all the blame on the audience!
The poor box office performance of "Together with You" can be blamed on these people who think they are superior and think they can judge the people just because they are celebrities.

Anyone who betrays his class is a traitor. If he has no simple class sentiments, he should be dragged out and shot!
Ji Yu would never do such a thing. Who do you think you are, criticizing this and that?

Don’t you know who put you in the position?
Pooh!
You bitch is just hypocritical!

The next morning, it was already past nine in the morning when the sun shone on Ji Yu's face.

Ji Yu was still a little dazed after waking up. He sat on the bed for a long time before he came to his senses.

There was no work today and he didn't know what to do.

He will not participate in the subsequent promotion of Infernal Affairs because he helped too much in the early stages and did enough.

Don't do too many favors, otherwise they will become worthless.

After rolling a few more times on the bed, Ji Yu finally got up.

I'm going to go to Rolling Stone in the afternoon and finish the albums of those two little ancestors as soon as possible.

If all goes well, they will be able to release an album after the beginning of next year.

A complete new artist still needs to polish and prepare well before releasing a song.

They released their album last night at the end of October, and used the rest of the time to shoot music videos and do roadshows to promote it.

At ten o'clock, Ji Yu sat at the dining table with the prepared breakfast.

When he has more time, he likes to make his own breakfast.

Make wontons or eat a bowl of noodles or something.

Ji Yu was eating noodles and casually flipping through the newspaper on the table. When he turned to the entertainment section, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The propaganda direction with you has changed, and now they are bragging about awards.

News such as being nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards and competing for the Oscars has become the mainstream publicity for "With You".

In Ji Yu's view, the desire to elevate films through awards and constantly emphasize artistic quality is the last fig leaf for intellectuals.

They want to use the guise of art to cover up the box office failure and the fact that the audience doesn't like it.

Finally, I can say from a high position that the audience does not understand art and Chinese films are doomed.

Tsk, he wants both face and money!
The director of the only domestic film this year that grossed over 10 million yuan, the haunted house ghost, is very honest.

He said frankly that what he pursued was box office success. Without box office success, he was nothing. He also didn't want to join the art circle and had never wanted to engage in art.

Look at others, and then look at the hypocritical faces of these people.

Brother Chen Kai is the most typical Kong Yiji.

He has a lot of knowledge, but he is too proud to humble himself. He wants both money and fame.

The key is that he doesn't have the ability to make money without doing anything like Jiang Wen.

He doesn't have the shameless spirit of Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou can make art films as well as movies like Three Shots Surprise. To make money, you must have the awareness of making money.

Ji Yu looked at the newspaper and despised Kong Yiji for a while, then closed the newspaper.

There is a lot of publicity about Infernal Affairs above, but no specific box office data.

There is no ticketing system now, so it is difficult to quickly calculate the box office. Let's wait a few days.

After breakfast, Ji Yu went to Rolling Stone Records.

In the next few days, Ji Yu kept following the news about Infernal Affairs.

[Infernal Affairs grossed over 20 million in Hong Kong in one week! ]

[Infernal Affairs' Mainland box office officially surpassed "Together With You" by 16 million! ]

[Screenwriter Mai Zhaohui revealed that Ji Yu provided a lot of creative ideas for the script writing! ]

[The divine song is a good match for the film. It is said that many directors have invited Ji Yu to sing! 】

A week after the release of Infernal Affairs, the data continued to rise, both in terms of box office and word of mouth.

The combined box office revenue of the two places has reached nearly 40 million, which makes many people feel that the box office revenue of Infernal Affairs is expected to exceed 100 million!
The box office of movies in mainland China is still growing, attracting the entire National Day holiday period.

If "Together with You" hadn't been released a week earlier, it would have been released at my grandma's house by now.

I've been with you for more than five days and the single-day box office is less than 500,000.

Apart from the impressive growth in the week before its release, there was almost no growth afterwards.

The huge box office success of Infernal Affairs has led many people to attribute the credit for the success of the film to Ji Yu.

It is said that the song in the end credits made countless viewers choose to watch the movie twice.

The song is more popular than the movie, so it is natural for people to think that half of the current box office results are due to Ji Yu's promotion.

Although Ji Yu didn't think so, he was still happy in his heart, because this was the only way to magnify the favor.

It will also allow various film companies to see his appeal.

Only in this way will there be a steady stream of resources coming to you.

He is now waiting for Infernal Affairs 2.

The better the current box office performance, the sooner the second part will be put on the agenda.

If all goes well, filming should start by the end of the year. Never doubt the speed of Hong Kong films.
