I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 115: The premiere of Infernal Affairs
Sao.

At this moment, Li Xuan looked at Chen Guanxi, the legendary photography master in front of him. Could it be that he has reached his complete form now?

"You're really amazing, but I won't lose to you. Just wait, I will continue to improve and won't always be suppressed by you."

Li Xuan inexplicably sensed the presence of his old enemy.

I don’t know.

How did he become Guanxi's nemesis for no apparent reason?
However, seeing how motivated he was, Li Xuan couldn't say anything else.

Work hard, come on?
"But I'm also very happy to meet you. I hope we can make progress together." Chen Guanxi smiled.

"Progress is not something you can just talk about." Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It has to be something you actually make."

"of course."

After a few interactions, the two became more familiar with each other. They were both young people and were committed to developing in this circle. If they had to talk, they had endless topics to talk about.

However, the biggest common topic, besides acting and filming, is about photography and police uniforms.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. You and Xie Jinfeng are friends after all. You should understand that you shouldn't bully your friend's wife."

Li Xuan gave a subtle reminder.

In response to this, Chen Guanxi paused and said strangely.

"Why do you say that? I have no interest in her at all. I simply think the police uniform suits me. Are you interested in her? Forget it. Only a fool like Xie Jinfeng would be so devoted to her. That woman isn't very smart. She's caused the seniors in the industry to annoy her more than once. In the past, they often gave her face just because of her status."

Is this something I can listen to?
Li Xuan's mouth twitched at this time and said, people like us in the entertainment industry are at least public figures.

He is indeed a photography expert, who stores his photographic data in his computer and can edit them at will.

Really thick lines.

"To strive for progress, we should focus on our main business. Hobbies like photography should be left for later."

"of course."

It can be said that Li Xuan made Chen Guanxi depressed at the beginning. Such a monster has extraordinary talent and strength.

But then I figured it out a little bit.

We are all carbon-based organisms.

If you can do it, why can't I?

By the way, it’s also because I have a goal.

Actor on target.

And it becomes more profound.

Strong feeling deep.

If my overall goal in terms of overall position was to catch up with Xie Jinfeng, then the goal has changed now.

On the acting road, Li Xuan is my current target
The overall target is still Xie Jinfeng, this prodigy who has all kinds of talents, is the overall target to catch up with.

But on the path of being an actor, Li Xuan can be a target. In fact, he may even be better than Xie Jinfeng on this single path.

Originally, Chen Guanxi, who was a little decadent and wanted to indulge in depravity because of "emptiness", suddenly had a goal. He forgot about his original plan to play poker with Gillian tonight and try out the new features of the camera - now I just want to make progress, let's put those things behind me for now!
Li Xuan somehow got Chen Guanxi's phone number, and Chen Guanxi also said that if he was free next time, they could go to a nightclub and have a drink together.
Li Xuan said forget it, instead of drinking alcohol, he would just drink wolfberry water for health reasons.

Now, with the help of the system, my health attributes have skyrocketed, and I have gone from a fragile young man to a less fragile young man. However, health is priceless, and only after losing it can you appreciate it.
It’s okay to indulge yourself occasionally, but on weekdays, it’s better to soak red dates with wolfberries to maintain your health.

There is actually not much to film in "The Matrix", and it is almost over after the action scenes.

There is no literary drama.

May I ask, what was the reason why you chose our "The Matrix" crew?
I don't need to shoot the literary scenes.jpg.

The literary drama of the crew of "The Legend of Mir" was really too torturous. Li Xuan originally wanted to stay and watch Asa and Gillian.

Especially Gillian. Not the Gillian from "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Son-in-law", but the Gillian from the girl group.

“It looks better when I’m wearing clothes.”

At this time, Li Xuan muttered
Then a figure in police uniform flashed through my mind.

It's really suitable.

It's just too dense.

The next day, the media gossip tabloids were flooded with news about Xie Jinfeng. After all, he was the second generation of Hong Kong entertainment circles, and it was normal for many paparazzi to follow him, especially in Hong Kong, where the gossip tabloid culture was flourishing. In addition, the island was not big, so there was basically no privacy.
"Feng Zhi quarreled with a man in the street. Was it because she was injured by the man who made her cry?"

Li Xuan bought a newspaper at the newsstand.

Wow, it's worthy of being the Hong Kong media. When it comes to gossip, they really have no bottom line at all. They will gossip without any basis.

Although Li Xuan knew that it was nonsense, he couldn't help but pick up the newspaper and read the weird news on it.

I couldn't help but flip through it again.

He said the content was brilliant and the out-of-context quotations were so powerful that they were definitely comparable to the marketing accounts of later generations.

"History is a circle, and the millennium has its shadow on future generations." After reading the gossip with great interest, I was also ready to report on "Infernal Affairs".

But this time it’s not about filming, but about going to the premiere.

The Big Bang movies shot last year have not been released yet, but the Infernal Affairs shot this year has been released quickly.

The big ones will be out early next year.

"long time no see"

"It's not that long actually."

At this time, Li Xuan was looking at King Liu in front of him, and he was personally waiting to greet him at the door.

Of course, this was not special treatment. He personally received everyone who came to the premiere. In addition to being the leading actor, he was also the investor of this film.

He paid for it himself.

"Wait a minute, go sit in that seat next to me. I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about."

"Oh, let's talk about movies, right?"

Li Xuan thought they were talking about Infernal Affairs II.

As a result, Liu Dehua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why don’t you talk about your time at the Beijing Film Academy or your university life?

Of course, we have to wait until the movie is over.

"Infernal Affairs" can be regarded as the first round of "sit-ups" in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and is known as the hope of Hong Kong.

It carries the first salvo of the counterattack since the millennium financial crisis.
The significance is certainly extraordinary, but whether the results can meet the standards remains to be discussed.

This time, Huanyu’s CEO, Lin Jianyue, came to see the movie in person, a movie he had not been very optimistic about, the Infernal Affairs.

In fact, this plan was rejected at the beginning. When Zhuang Cheng, who was in charge of the founder Jian, showed the script to him, the major shareholder, he rejected it immediately.

After all, the police and criminal theme is too old-fashioned.

It's really old-fashioned.

Are there still people making such corny police and gangster movies nowadays?
Let's take some trendy photos.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the attitude of everyone at Universal Pictures towards this movie is somewhat ambiguous. Some people are optimistic about it, while others are not.

Lin Jianyue had come to see the film in person because a certain superstar actor, both virtuous and talented, had contributed to the film without asking for remuneration, paying for it out of his own pocket. Universal Pictures, in return, would give its full support, even if they weren't optimistic about the film.
"When the company was in trouble, he chose to overcome the difficulties with us. King Liu is really great."

"Yeah, I heard he recommended a young man from mainland China to join the crew, and he didn't ask for anything else."

"With what King Liu did, let alone getting in a few scenes, if it were someone else, they'd probably have to take second place."

At this time, several executives of Universal Pictures were also chatting in low voices, among them was Zhuang Cheng, an executive and one of the founders who strongly promoted "Infernal Affairs".

It was he who pushed the script to Lin Jianyue, which led to the creation of "Infernal Affairs".
When he learned that Andy Lau had recommended the young Liu Jianming, he subconsciously felt that - it turned out that King Liu was not as otherworldly as he had imagined.

Although it does not affect the script itself, it is still something that was done.

However, overall, Zhuang Cheng is still optimistic about "Infernal Affairs".

People say that the police and gangster theme is old, but he feels that this theme can still last for another 20 years.

A police and gangster theme with a natural black and white conflict structure.

Don't tell me about some messed up subject matter innovation, just shoot a police and gangster film.
At this time, the people sitting next to Liu Dehua were either the leading actors or the main creators. Li Xuan was considered very special - of course, it also fits everyone's impression of people with connections.

Like Yu Wenle, who also played the younger version of the character, he sat at a table with Sha Qiang in a relatively corner.
Li Xuan looks very "special".

In fact, even Li Xuan himself didn't know why King Liu arranged him to be next to him. Although it could be considered as the senior's intention to promote him, it was still a bit too enthusiastic.

At this time, King Liu smiled and said.

"After the movie, I want to ask you a question."

"Okay."

Li Xuan was sitting next to him.

Waiting quietly for the movie to start.

The noisy sound gradually faded away, the lights in the cinema dimmed, and the logo of Universal Pictures flashed by.

For the industry insiders and media people present, the logo of Universal Pictures was very unfamiliar. "Flying Tiger", "Thirteenth of July", "Half a Cigarette" and "Sunlight Canyon" were all produced by this company.

To them, this is just a company that specializes in making low-budget movies. It can only survive by staying above the survival line.

To say that it is doing very well, I really don’t have any. It can only be said that it has the initial potential for scale.

I can only say that the cast is pretty good - but given the current Hong Kong film industry, it's good enough for filmmakers to have work to do.

How can I care so much?
at this time.

The movie starts.
