Since 1983

Chapter 889 Revisit

"The high pitch is sweet, the middle pitch is accurate, and the bass is deep. One sentence is transparent!"

"Who brought the ancient call... who sent you to my side... who whispered in my ear..."

"Sorry, I'm a policeman!"

In a movie theater in Hong Kong, "Infernal Affairs" premiered.

When the film ended, the audience spontaneously burst into applause. It is so rare to see a star-studded, high-quality, and innovative Hong Kong-style film.

Lao Song personally sat in the town and led Andy Lau, Hok Yau, Leung Ka Fai, Ren Dahua, Zha Zhahui and Louis Koo to attend.

The audience was excited, and the media was also excited. As early as two years ago, the annual production of Hong Kong films dropped to less than 100.

"Xueyou, how about the box office forecast?"

"I know it seems to be the three films of "Infernal Affairs", "Hero" and "Golden Rooster". Uh, I think the total is 80 million."

"Wah Jai?

"It's hard to say. His estimate is relatively high. It would be ideal if "Infernal Affairs" can break through 20 million."

"Where's Mr. Song?"

"They are too timid, at least 50 million!"

Lao Song waved his hand and vowed: "It's not that no one watches Hong Kong movies. Everyone still likes good movies. If a movie of this level doesn't have 50 million yuan, then Hong Kong movies are really over."

The reporter asked again: "Hong Kong films are very pessimistic now. You said before that the market must be rescued, but can you save the market with just a few movies?"

"Of course not, Hong Kong is too small and has lost the overseas market. In fact, the overall quality has not declined, but there is no way out.

The top priority is to find a broad and stable market. "

"You mean the mainland?"

"Hey, I didn't say anything, but I remind you to be prepared. I don't know if you read current affairs news. If you do, you will understand what I'm talking about."

"Infernal Affairs" quickly set off an upsurge, and the main creators began to promote it in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

"The box office in Hong Kong was 2.57 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and it has broken through the 10 million mark in four days after its release. It is expected to compete with last year's box office champion "Shaolin Soccer"."

"It's hard to tell the difference between good and evil. "Infernal Affairs" has been praised by all parties, and the disc has quietly appeared in the mainland market."

"Jackie Chan revealed that he has the opportunity to shoot a sequel."

"China Film Group stated that there is no subject matter for the film, and the main distribution is still under discussion.

Recently, the mainland's schedule has been fully booked, and the annual blockbuster "Hero" is coming soon. If "Infernal Affairs" wants to be approved for release, it will not be until March next year at the earliest. "

In fact, when "Infernal Affairs" first came out, China Film Group didn't pay attention to the audio-visual copyright, and the audio-visual dealers in Guangdong Province snatched up the rights, and the discs were overwhelmingly profitable.

Later, China Film Group thought that the market would be affected, so it did not introduce it.

Later, the second and third parts were introduced, and for the sake of continuity, it was decided to introduce the first part.

The box office was bleak, and the ending was modified. The original Hua Tsai continued to be a policeman, and the modified version Hua Tsai was arrested.

"Infernal Affairs" is called the last glory of Hong Kong films. Although some new filmmakers emerged later, making "Zombie", "Old Li", "Chill", etc., the glory is long gone, annihilated in the changing times.

"hurry up!"

"Oh, here it is!"

After the snow, the Grand View Garden is covered with snow and there are no tourists. There are only a few old aunts in their thirties who are gorgeous and laugh like barbells.

"Hengzhi Qingfen."

A few people entered the main room of Hengwu Garden, they felt strange for the first time, and after looking at it, they recalled it.

Zhang Li sat on the small round stool, solemnly said: "Xiaoer, kneel down, I want to interrogate you!"

"Pooh!"

Xiao Xu spat.

This is exactly the passage where Baochai taught Daiyu not to read the little yellow books. After that, Daiyu got close to Baochai, and Jin Ranqi exchanged Jinlan language.

The short and round Hu Zehong walked around, pointing at the statues of Baochai and Zhou Rui's family on the kang in the back room, and shouted, "Oh my god, this is too ugly!"

"Hey, I don't remember being so ugly back then!" Deng Jie also called.

"It's been so many years, and there are several layers of light and ash." Shen Lin laughed.

Zhang Li and Xiao Xu also came to have a look, and they were even more disgusted: "Let's go, let's go and look elsewhere!"

After deciding to have a big party next year, we will inquire about the crew members of that year. The relationship between the few in the capital is already good, so let's make an appointment to hang out today.

Two minutes after they left, Teacher Xu and Wu Xiaodong wandered over.

Wu Xiaodong led an eight or nine-year-old daughter, Teacher Xu pushed the stroller, the lazy little tiger lay in it, and the diligent little dragon walked by himself.

Back then, Xiao Xu helped Shen Lin find a job and was able to stay in the capital. The two soon got married and had children.

Wu worked as a director and an actor at the National Theater, and has been filming, but he was not popular. The most famous role is Sun Shiwan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Hu Zehong opened a restaurant and started a company, and her life was good.

Xu Fei parked the stroller at the door and took a look around the room with Xiaohu in his arms. Xiaolong ran inside, was startled back with a bang, and cried, "Ghost! Ghost!"

"Where did the ghost come from?"

Go in and take a look at the statue, amazed.

The facial features are abstract, the material is rough, it can be said that the shape and spirit are broken, and there is no aesthetic feeling.

"I remember that these statues were made not long after the Grand View Garden was opened. The craftsmanship was not very good at that time. But it really shouldn't be done without making new ones for so many years."

Wu Xiaodong laughed.

"After all the money is earned, who cares if it's repaired or not?"

Xiaolong was still crying, Xu Fei pulled his daughter and coaxed, "This is not a ghost, it's your godmother."

He pointed to his son again: "This is your mother."

"Wow!"

Xiaohu also cried.

"I have to donate a batch of new ones to the Grand View Garden. For the children who come here for the first time, seeing Xue Baochai like this and Lin Daiyu like this is simply misleading!"

After staying there, he will come out and continue to follow the women in front.

They are full of energy, just like shopping, and they have to take half an hour to take photos wherever they go.

Walking from the west, pass Qinfang Pavilion to Yihong Courtyard, then Yuancui Nunnery, Daguanlou, Hengwuyuan, Daoxiang Village, and come back from the east.

What Xu Fei saw along the way, he felt a little dilapidated, as if he was too lazy to take care of it. Especially after the heavy snowfall, the red walls and gray tiles, dead trees and grass, make the place feel more and more depressed.

I kept shopping and shopping, but in the end I really didn't want to leave, a few women ran to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and he and Wu Xiaodong looked for a place to rest.

Xiaolong Pia was in his father's arms, his voice was bright and crisp, and he spoke vaguely: "Aren't we going in?"

"Take a break, aren't you tired too?"

"Why is mom ignoring you today?"

"They have girlfriends. You are in kindergarten. If you make friends with other girls, they are called girlfriends."

"..."

The daughter doesn't know much about it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, she still beats her brother happily.

"Beep beep!"

Wu Xiaodong handed over a cigarette, Xu Fei waved his hand, took out his mobile phone and answered a call, Lao Song called.

"I listened to the letter. I will discuss economic and trade issues with Hong Kong next year. I don't know if there will be a movie. You should look at the situation and wait for the opportunity."

"Can "Infernal Affairs" be introduced?"

"It's enough. But it doesn't matter, wait until next year, when you make a sequel."

Just hung up, another one came, asking about "Heroes".

Wu Xiaodong smoked a cigarette by himself, watched him on the phone, and said with a smile: "Sometimes it's not that I don't want to meet with you, but I just mutter in my heart, you are such a big man, so busy, how can you have the time to meet poor neighbors?"

"Stop talking nonsense! It's really busy, and many things are easy to ignore, but if you organize a game, we will definitely go if we can. Now that I am getting older and older, I have already run four times. When I let go of work, I will still rely on these old people. friend.

Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as old..."

"Why are you sitting here, isn't it cold?"

"Let's go!"

Chatting and chatting, several women finally came out.

Zhang Li drove a car and pulled Xiao Xu, Deng Jie, and Hu Zehong. Wu Xiaodong drives a car, a family of three.

Teacher Xu drove a car and took the two children with him.

He was chattering about leaving, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go eat hot pot!"

"..."

He got in the car, rubbed his hands, and started the ignition.

Xiaolong suddenly said: "Papa, you are so pitiful!"

"Um?"
