"Infernal Affairs successfully broke through the 100 million mark in the third week, with a single week of RMB 21 million, with a total box office of RMB 117 million. Wan Xiaohu became the second director in the mainland with a total box office of RMB 9.8 million. Hong Kong's box office of HK$ 9.8 million per week, with a total box office of HK$ 52.8 million. Asia and overseas regions have 14 million. At present, the global total box office has risen to RMB 185.6 million, making it the most top-selling Chinese-language movie of the year."

The box office report of mtime Time Network has not been very popular. Since the first week, everyone has already predicted that the box office explosion of "Infernal Affairs" is an inevitable phenomenon, and the surprise period has long passed.

In fact, from the very beginning, many people had good expectations of the box office of "Infernal Affairs".

Wan Xiaohu has directed three movies before, and each one has made a big profit. In the field of commercial films, it is definitely the best in all directors in the mainland, and Feng Xiaogang, who has opened the New Year's Eve, is not as good as Feng Xiaogang.

While the box office was booming, the value of several starring actors was also increasing. Some media have called "Infernal Affairs" to bring the four actors to the peak of their careers.

Among them, the one who feels the most is Anthony Wong.

In an exclusive interview with "Xin Kuaishou", Anthony Wong expressed her heart.

"I used to be just an actor. If someone asked me to be perverted, I would go to be perverted. If I asked me to play the opposite, I would play the opposite. I wouldn't have to choose. After the performance, everyone said, "Look at this Anthony Wong, it's really perverted. It's not that I want to be perverted, but I didn't choose. I have made so many movies, won awards, and nominated every year, but others just think you are a pervert, and you have a perverted role and you still have to play it."

"I didn't think about filming "Infernal Affairs". I didn't think there was anything to act and I couldn't show any acting skills. Later, I took over the scene and found that working with Wan Xiaohu was a very pleasant thing. He gave you a chance to show yourself. We had a scene of falling from the building. He told me, Brother Sheng, you can figure it out for yourself, this is a **. So my eyes were half open and half closed, and everyone said it was OK."

"I used to be just an actor, but after filming this, I'm a little like a star when I go out on the street. Suddenly, I feel that Anthony Wong is not perverted. Many girls like you. The world is so strange. I have been suffering for half my life, and finally I use the help of "Infernal Affairs" to operate."

"My greatest hope in the future is that I can shoot any character that Liu Dehua has photographed. I am also an idol now!"

Anthony Wong became a star, and Zeng Zhiwei also made his Hong Kong veteran actor stable as a stagnant with the role of Han Chen. Liang Chaowei is no longer the favorite of art films. Not only did Liu Dehua not worry about it beforehand. His image was affected by playing a villain, but he increased his popularity. Fans love him as Liu Jianming.

The starring actor's value has soared, and screenwriters Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang have also become popular because of the movie.

Once after the banquet, Mai Zhaohui made a long-distance movie drunk and gave Wan Xiaohu a thank you on the phone.

"Xiaohu, I made several movies and was scolded. I almost couldn't make it. I wanted to change my career and make a living. I thank you. If you hadn't filmed "Infernal Affairs", who in Hong Kong would know who Mai Zhaohui is? I, Mai Zhaohui, have all the talents and no one knows, you are my mentor!"

"Lao Mai, you've drunk too much."

"I haven't drunk too much. I've only drunk more than a pound... Xiaohu, I tell you, I really want to thank you. Now I finally tasted the taste of being popular. Today I went to have dinner with Wen Qiang. The bosses of several film companies came to stuff their business cards and said, Director Mai, invite you to write a script for us, and you can just mention the amount of money, haha..."

Mai Zhaohui was still muttering, "Haha, I, Mai Zhaohui, used to ask them, bowed and begged, and I lost my backbone, but now I have changed. But I haven't forgotten that people have to rely on themselves to make a contribution. If we can write "Infernal Affairs", we can write more good scripts. Wen Qiang and I have already written the draft of "Infernal Affairs 2". Xiaohu, I will fly to the capital in a few days and you can see the manuscript."

"good."

"Okay, that's all. I know you're busy and won't bother you anymore. I'm filming "Infernal Affairs 2" and I'm devoted myself to it. I want others to see me, Mai Zhaohui, but it's not that I can't make a good movie..."

The speed of making a movie in Hong Kong is quite fast. "Infernal Affairs" is so popular, so naturally "Infernal Affairs 2" is naturally preparing. The casting can be started just after the script is finalized. In this regard, the Universal Films are more anxious than Dandelion Film Company.

Dandelion has no shortage of projects, and it is a mainland film company. The production cycle of a movie is quite long. Huanyu is in the Hong Kong style. Before the painting was released, it began to urge Dandelion to shoot sequels soon. In "Infernal Affairs", although Huanyu has no investment, it can make a lot of money in the agency distribution area, and it will make a fortune and eat the taste.

All those who are affiliated with "Infernal Affairs" have gained benefits beyond their imagination from the movie. The biggest benefit is still director Wan Xiaohu.

Since the new millennium, several "phenomenal" people or things have always been born in the Chinese entertainment industry every year.

For example, in 2000, in 2001, it was the phenomenon of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and barbaric girlfriends. Now it is the phenomenon of infernal Affairs. Among them, the phenomenon of barbaric girlfriends and infernal Affairs were created by Wan Xiaohu.

"When "Waiting Alone" was released two years ago, many people who paid attention to this movie were thinking that the future prospects of this director named Wan Xiaohu, who was born in 80, are limitless. But at the same time, we will also think that perhaps this growth process will take ten years, or even twenty years."

"But then, the first domestic science fiction film "Butterfly Effect" pushed Wan Xiaohu to the ranks of the sixth generation directors, and a group of new directors emerged from the underground. "My Savage Girlfriend" in 2001 made Wan Xiaohu the flag bearer of the sixth generation director."

"From a potential director to the sixth generation director carrying the flag bearer, this is an incredible leap, nine years ahead of the ten years we imagined! And now, "Infernal Affairs" directed by Wan Xiaohu has made him rise to the top and become a master of Chinese films."

"In the past, Wan Xiaohu gave the audience the impression of vulgarity and superficiality. Just as many media people commented, Wan Xiaohu always kitsch to the audience. Many directors even classified Wan Xiaohu and Feng Xiaogang as vulgar directors and made vulgar movies. "Waiting Alone" only has women in his eyes, and "Butterfly Effect" is just for the old love. "My Savage Girlfriend" only describes two people falling in love, which is so vulgar that it makes people speechless."

"But as soon as "Infernal Affairs" was released, the person who originally despised Wan Xiaohu was definitely slapped on his face, which was very painful. Time Online's audience score was 9.2 points, the highest Chinese movies at present. It is ranked alongside "Alive" and "Farewell My Concubine", and the unprecedented full score of the graduation work of Beijing Film Academy. Hong Kong people praised it as a rescue work of Hong Kong movies. The box office shocked the Chinese movie circle and created the first non-main theme non-government ticket in the mainland. This data is still constantly refreshing."

"Now everyone has given Wan Xiaohu the title of Chinese film business master. The reason why he has added the word "business" is just because Wan Xiaohu has not won the award that can prove himself. However, it is said that the Venice Film Festival has sent an invitation to invite "Infernal Affairs" to Venice to participate in the exhibition. The Golden Horse Awards and Golden Images. "Infernal Affairs" has undoubtedly become a popular this year. Who can guarantee that Wan Xiaohu will not be a major international director in the next moment?"

Faced with the rise of box office, reports of praise are common.

And as this special report from New Weekly said, the Venice Film Festival sent an invitation letter to Dandelion Film Company, inviting Infernal Affairs to attend the film festival.

The Venice International Film Festival is an international film festival held on the island of Venice, Italy from August to September every year. It is known as the world's three major international film festivals, together with Cannes and Berlin, and the highest award is the Golden Lion Award. The Venice Film Festival was founded in 1932. It is the oldest film festival in the world, that is, the world's first international film festival, and is known as the "father of the international film festival".

Although the Venice Film Festival puts forward different slogans every year, the purpose has not changed for decades, and there is only one, that is, artisticity.

Being invited by the Venice Film Festival shows that "Infernal Affairs"'s artistic achievements have been recognized internationally.

Of course, what Infernal Affairs invited was only a non-contest screening unit, not the main competition unit, and could only be screened without participating in the award.

"I am very happy to be invited from Venice. This drama can be exhibited in Europe, and I hope it can be valued by European and American film manufacturers. The market there is big, so there will be no difficulties in making movies." Wan Xiaohu was blocked by reporters and had to express his comments on this.

Regardless of whether it can be sold in Europe or not, as long as you can participate in the exhibition, it is a good start.

Now "Infernal Affairs" has opened a phenomenon, and this effect is irresistible. Even if "Infernal Affairs" fails in Europe and the United States, what if Wan Xiaohu has never watched the remake of "The Walker of the Infernal Affairs". At worst, you can find an opportunity to shoot this version again. Is the money? Sooner or later, it is your own!

...

"I like "Infernal Affairs" so much. Every dialogue is worth remembering for a long time. It is definitely the representative work of Wan Xiaohu's promotion to master!" Netizen [I don't know anything] logged on Time Network early in the morning and left a message in the post bar.

He just left a message, and three new announcements popped up in a row when the message bar scrolled to the top of the post bar.

"The sister chapter of "Crazy Stone" has been released. According to Dandelion Movie, "Crazy Racing" has officially submitted a plan. The film continues the stone style. The original cast is directed by Ning Hao and produced by Wan Xiaohu. It will invest more than 20 million yuan to stage bigger, more exciting and crazy! It is expected to be released in 2004."

"The sister chapter of "My Savage Girlfriend" has been released. According to Dandelion Movie, "Savage Sister" has officially submitted a plan. The movie is still starring Jun Ji-hyun, creating a new round of barbaric storm. The former deputy director Cheng Er serves as director and Wan Xiaohu serves as producer. Barbaric has come back! It is expected to be released in 2003."

"The Infernal Affairs" has received rave reviews, and the box office has been well received. Time.com exclusively revealed: The film screenwriter Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang have entered Beijing and discussed with Wan Xiaohu about the shooting of "Infernal Affairs 2". According to Dandelion Movie employees, the sequel will no longer be directed by Wan Xiaohu, but will be directed by Mai Zhaohui and produced by Wan Xiaohu! It is expected to be released in 2003."

"Damn, what's going on? Dandelion is going to open three sequels, this is a crowded sequel!" Netizen [Feng Tian Huodi] expressed shock.

"Wan Xiaohu won't make movies, so he will become a producer?" Netizen [Beat the Rabbit to death] expressed doubts.

"I changed my career as soon as I became a master, and Wan Xiaohu was also considered a representative of the rapid retreat. Could it be that Jiang Lang had finished his talents?" Netizen [yr Yellow River] expressed doubts.

"Don't spread rumors, director Wan's talent is like a surging river, continuous, and he must be planning a big plan." Netizen [coco2016] expressed his refutation.

Netizen [I am China Dragon] expressed support: "It's right upstairs. Wan Xiaohu made movies one by one, so he must take a break and think about the next one. Besides, "Infernal Affairs" is still being released, so you are worried about whether Wan Xiaohu has any movies. This is too blind. Let's say something happy, I guess "Infernal Affairs"'s box office in the mainland has hit 150 million yuan. Where are you?"

Not only are netizens concerned, but the media is also concerned.

"Beijing Youth Daily": "Where is the end of "Infernal Affairs"?" (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
