It is the obligation and responsibility of every producer and director to try to avoid "unexpected situations".

Because making a movie is a very rigorous job, if you don’t shoot as expected, it will affect the post-production and release schedule, and even more money will be invested to plug the loopholes.

But no matter how tough the director is, he may not be able to control all the "restless" actors.

What's more, Li Zhifan himself is a restless factor. When facing some "free" movements of the actors, as long as they do not affect the overall and details, and do not violate the intentions of the original version, they can just do whatever they want.

In fact, when filming the original "Infernal Affairs" in another world, I also encountered many problems of "freedom" by actors.

For example, Chen Yongren and Huang Sir met on the rooftop for the first time.

The line in the script is: "It's been nine years, boss."

But Liang Wei changed it to: "It was obviously three years, three years later and three years later, three years later and three years later, and it was almost ten years old."

Comparing the two, the strength of the latter sentence is obviously much stronger than before, and the emotions are fuller. It not only expresses Chen Yongren's boredom and helplessness as an undercover agent, but also leaves a good room for the sequel story.

This is the same scene, Li Zhifan's performance is also performed according to the revised lines.

But he originally wanted to act like the original version, but after he finished acting, he felt that this was not in line with his state, so he added some decadence and laziness.

Especially in the last sentence "It's almost ten years old, the boss" said Li Zhifan, who was completely begging "Please, let me go", was not as loud as the original Liang Wei.

In the subsequent lines, Li Zhifan's face suddenly changed, and his "pleasing" suddenly stopped, as if he was "you owe me money", he spoke arrogantly to the boss Huang Sir.

The two feelings are switched, both good and evil, and the image of the undercover is instantly in place.

In this way, Li Zhifan's image is more like a young and dandy who is already accustomed to living a free and casual life.

Although it weakens some of the police's taste, it can further explain the sadness he gained in his undercover career.

The post-production of "Infernal Affairs" is very simple, because there are no major special effects, and the use of the camera is completed during shooting, with only editing, dubbing, soundtracking and subtitles.

In fact, there are only two parts in the industry, editing is part, and the rest are called "packaging".

The soundtrack of "Infernal Affairs" is also a classic among classics. Li Zhifan has always made independent soundtracks in his movies, and he never needs outsiders to intervene. Whether to copy the original version or modify the new soundtrack is entirely based on his own ideas.

For movies like "Infernal Affairs", Li Zhifan only changed to two pure music, and the others still use the original version.

Two weeks later, the later stages of the first part were completed.

Li Zhifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was a complete film, so he quickly handed over the first film to Zhao Yiduo, and then handed over it to China Film and Television, and submitted it to China Film and Television for review.

...

As December approaches, all kinds of New Year films have started a huge publicity model.

Today is the scheduled show, and tomorrow is the promotional trailer for this show. Only "Infernal Affairs" has been delayed.

Netizens have two mentalities - they are eager to see, but they don’t want to make shoddy things.

With this mentality, the official suddenly announced that "Infernal Affairs" will be scheduled for January 1.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded.

"It was released so soon? I feel like I haven't been filming for long!"

"Yes, but I no longer doubt Li Zhifan's skills. Just watch this movie can earn billions!"

"January 1? Haha, a good day, it's just the first day of New Year's Day and go with your girlfriend."

"No? I heard that the crew is still filming. Will it be released on January 1?"

"Yes! I watched several participating actors' itineraries, and they basically stayed on the crew until February next year. What's going on with the release this month?"

“…”

When this problem arises, it is not that one person or a small group of people think something is wrong, but that everyone thinks something is wrong.

Even the hospital was a little suspicious. Did you make a mistake? Did the radio and television understand it? Is it Li Zhifan's "Infernal Affairs"? Could it be another copycat film? This time, it was released directly under the title of "Infernal Affairs"?

I was also a little confused on the radio and television side. Let’s take a look at the movie in Mikuri – that’s right? It’s the Infernal Affairs played by Li Zhifan? The movie is 101 minutes long, and then the ending is a very complete movie?

But another group of comrades in the radio and television industry understood the reason very well, because at the beginning, when the "Infernal Affairs" was approved, two were directly published, and later one was submitted, including a series of script reviews. Currently, "Infernal Affairs" was approved by the radio and television industry, and the script reviews were approved by three!

I'm afraid that only Li Zhifan will submit three movies at once, and the only one who can clearly make the trilogy is to be filmed?

Even if many movies are supported by the original novel, they cannot guarantee that they can continue to shoot the second one after the first one. If the reputation is not good and the market effect is not achieved, wouldn’t it be ruined?

And Li Zhifan's routine is a unique one that he has never seen in decades.

However, after reading the script, Radio and Television was relieved again. The first part was a pure Hong Kong film flavor, which added some regression elements. The content of the second part directly expressed the views and positions that China-UK confronted Chinese films, and the red taste was successfully integrated into the details of all parties in the film - at least from the script.

Faced with the last third script submitted, the radio and television industry was a little relieved, and some of the details involved in gangs were directly passed - because in the opinion of radio and television, the ending of these trilogies is good, the departure is clear, sunny, and red, and the third part is a prequel, which not only exposes the chaos and disastrousness of Xiangjiang before its return, but also compares the beauty of the present, and passing the review is much easier than the first two.

Little did he know that Li Zhifan had decided to give up his original idea and planned to release it in the order of the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy in different time and space, while the third part still maintained its original style.

Because the special thing about the third part is that it is the prequel of a small part and the post-separation of a mostly part of the first part, and the story division line is the story of Chen Yongren six months before and ten months after his death.

If the third part is released first, the audience will not understand it, which will affect the box office of the last prequel released, which is not worth the loss.

...

Xiangjiang.

In the second week of December, the international director Gran Austin suddenly landed.

Gran Austin was once known as a genius director in Hollywood. Although such a name has been given to many new directors, Gran Austin is the only director who wears this halo and still walks smoothly in his later directorial career, and every movie has been sold at the box office.

This time, Austin appears to promote his new science fiction movie "Insect Day".

This movie will be released throughout Asia. Unfortunately, it is scheduled to be released on January 1. In this way, "Infernal Affairs" with Li Zhifan has become a stage, which is quite a battle of life and death.

Some domestic media have already begun to promote this feature, but there are many more movies released on January 1, and it is not entirely the home courts of Li Zhifan and Austin.

Among them, the new masterpiece "Sour Plum Soup" by a well-known domestic funny group will also be released on January 1. The movie has had five previews in four universities, including Tsinghua University, BGI, Fuda University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xiamen University as early as November, and invited five universities and some movie critics to watch it. After that, they have a good reputation in the comments they submitted online, so this movie is also one of their powerful opponents.

In addition, several New Year's movies are scheduled for January 1, and they are all very competitive.

In addition to Austin's "Insect Day", there are also two Ip blockbusters "Gunman 6" and "Dark Galaxy: Legend". The previous series of movies have achieved good box office worldwide, and the results in mainland China are also excellent. "Gunman 5" has even won the annual runner-up in the mainland box office. However, the champion that year was Li Zhifan's "Wolf Warrior", which can be said to be an old rival who finally met again this time.

Faced with so many blockbusters, "Infernal Affairs" did not retreat or skip the show, and still unswervingly chose to be released on January 1st. It was also Li Zhifan who wanted to know whether he could still break through the siege and win the first place when the conditions were not the strongest.

After all, "Infernal Affairs" is not a red main theme movie like "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Mekong". Radio and Television cannot give the first two movies of "Infernal Affairs" as generously as possible, so this time, it is really up to you.

afternoon.

Work is over at 4:30 today.

Because Liao Feng and Li Zhifan will go to ATV to attend the 2o21 annual ceremony organized by the Academy Awards and the Asian Film Association.

This grand ceremony was not an award ceremony, but a press conference on industry trends, so many industry directors who are about to be released and have new movies were invited to attend. First, the directors used this platform to promote their new films to the media, and second, the press conference followed the names of these directors to promote the achievements of Asian films this year.

Since it is an Asian movie, there are more guests from all directions. This is also the reason why Austin comes, because he, a non-Asian, was also invited.

Needless to say, Li Zhifan and Liao Feng are invited every year, but Li Zhifan happened to be in Xiangjiang this year, so he took the time to attend. In previous years, he was disdainful because it had no practical significance at all.

But this year, in addition to promoting movies, he also has an identity, that is, the honorary chairman of the China Film Association. Although this conference did not cooperate with the China Film Association, Li Zhifan's attendance also somewhat represents the meaning of the China Film Association.

The atmosphere I feel as soon as I arrive at the scene is - plain!

Although there are many people and the entire studio is full, because it is not an award ceremony, it is all arranged media, and there are no uninvited media and fans.

"There are quite a lot of people coming!"

Li Zhifan looked at the people present and felt like they were before the opening of the movie. Everyone was sitting in their seats obediently, whispering from time to time, but no one was making loud noises or chatting and laughing.

"They are all famous directors in the industry!"

Liao Feng smiled and said, "You have a calm mind and don't have to make friends with them. There is no need. If they want to know you, they will naturally come back to make friends with you!"

"I understand this!" Li Zhifan smiled. It seemed that there was no need to worry about it, just sit there obediently.

When Li Zhifan and Liao Feng appeared on the signature station, many industry colleagues had already appeared. Although it would not cause a commotion, there was still a "buzz" discussion that suddenly increased the decibels.

Liao Feng and Li Zhifan found their seats to sit down, and then greeted the people in front, back and forth. If they were a little longer, they would only respond with a casual attitude when the other party came to greet him, and there was nothing else.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a sudden sound came from the gate, with footsteps, speeches, and shouts.

After hearing a few words, Li Zhifan knew that Austin was here.

"It turns out that the effect of international famous directors is good!"

Liao Feng smiled, not knowing whether he was mocking or sincere, "Look, we don't even have a big fuck when we come in! The contrast is strong!"
