1062: Belong to Chills

At the opening ceremony, Liu Dehua, who represents the producer Phantom Hong Kong Company, brought new directors Liang Lemin, Lu Jianqing and five large men in the film, Guo Fucheng, Liang Jiahui, Andy Lau, Li Zhiting and Peng Yuyan, all appeared.

The huge posters of the five large men stand on the scene, and the characters of many starring roles have broken through the past. Among them, Guo Fucheng's hair is gray, showing his vicissitudes; Liang Jiahui has a strong beard and shows his domineering spirit; Li Zhiting's commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has a positive look; while the youthful and sunny Peng Yuyan "destroys" his image and shows his bald head. Against the backdrop of the cold tones, all major characters are difficult to distinguish between good and evil, while Liu Dehua's poster uses the words "friendly performance" to confirm that he will not have too many scenes this time.

At the scene, Guo Fucheng and Liu Dehua reunited. Although there was no too much communication throughout the whole process, they also expressed their feelings of mutual appreciation.

However, Liu Dehua attended this time as a producer. This was the first Hong Kong film he led after joining the Phantom, so he naturally attracted great attention. It was a coincidence that many reporters at the scene asked him about Li Donglai's topic.

"Andy Lau, has the gravity been completed? I heard you have encountered many difficulties. Why didn't Li Donglai come today?"

Liu Dehua smiled all over his face, "The filming has not been completed yet. We did encounter a big problem. Li Donglai was scolded by the old engineer at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base. He didn't dare to say a word. You must have thought of that process. But is he a genius director? The requirements must be very high, but we will overcome them one by one. As for why he didn't come today, it's because I'm here. He also has a movie that has been released recently, so he went to the United States to participate in the promotion."

"Can you tell me what happened to Li Donglai being scolded? What are the problems you encountered? What is the real investment in Gravity?"

I thought it would be fine if I asked, but I didn’t expect that Li Donglai was not in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong media was still so popular. He quickly waved his hand, "Today is the premiere of "Cold War". Please ask more about the movie. Donglai will come to Hong Kong sooner or later, and you can ask yourself."

Entering the movie premiere hall, the audience was shocked at the beginning.

Shooting from a high altitude, looking down, mirroring the tall buildings full of crampedness, and then turning to the frivolous neon lights. The atmosphere of the movie has been fully provided from the beginning and has continued well.

At midnight, a front-line charge car was held hostage. Five police officers and weapons and equipment in the car became bargaining chips for the thief.

The incident alarmed the police force. Whether it was a coincidence or an accident, among the police officers who were hijacked in the charge car, there was Li Jiajun (played by Peng Yuyan), the only son of the current deputy director of the Operations Department, who happened to be the number one of the police forces who visited Copenhagen and did not return.

The two popular candidates for the next director election: hawkish figure Li Wenbin (played by Liang Jiahui) and young deputy director Liu Jiehui (played by Guo Fucheng) both began to make big fuss.

Li immediately directed the rescue and coded the operation as "Cold War". However, the thieves knew everything inside the police force and understood the initiative. All the elites of the police force took off, but the action was still ineffective and were controlled everywhere. All the companions began to doubt his decision and recommended Liu Jiehui to take over the entire operation. In the critical moment, the two tigers fought each other, and Liu Jiehui was not showing any weakness. Unlike Li's radical methods, he chose to actively communicate with the thieves and promised to pay the thieves ransom.

During the entire ransom payment process, Liu tried to leave clues to the ransom in order to track down the location of the thief.

But the devil is one foot taller, not only can Liu find no trace of the thief, but he also lost the huge ransom. Xu Yongji (played by Qian Jiale), a comrade who was born and killed with Liu, died in the process of paying the ransom. Liu felt guilty and the Hong Kong police force fell into unprecedented danger and threat...

The entire operation caused the warehouse to lose 80 million in cash, and two police officers died.

The incident not only alarmed the government, but also alarmed the ICAC, because it received anonymous reports from two deputy directors. One of them used his power for personal gain at this critical moment... Hong Kong's security fell instantly, and the management loopholes in the police force and Hong Kong were exposed, threatening to reach the inside of the police force, pointing directly to the top of the police force.

The reason why Hong Kong is called the "safeest city" is just that it has not encountered a real enemy!

...

The plot setting is already innovative, and a lot of effort has been put into the meticulous plot. The rhythm is very compact, step by step, but some soft molecules are arranged in the right place to slightly relieve this tension.

Toughness, sharpness and warmth and softness are combined, and they are both smooth or slow, and they are well-known.

Many shots in the movie have made breakthroughs, and the shots of "shotting in the air" also broke through the limitations of previous police and gangster films shooting on land. This time, "Cold War" specially transported to the SpaceCam aerial photography system from the United States, and invited Ingrid, a helicopter with 20 years of flight experience and filming major productions such as "Batman 2" to shoot bird's eye view scenes in Hong Kong.

This SpaceCam aerial photography system has good shock absorption function, and the lens can rotate 270 degrees. It is very stable to shoot high-altitude lenses with this system. It is very popular in the American film industry and is also a unique equipment in the United States.

High-altitude shooting allows the audience to see a different Hong Kong landscape, but the shooting process is much more difficult than expected.

The air control in Hong Kong is very strict. Not only does it require application for shooting time, but it also has restrictions on shooting height, direction and location. During the shooting, Liu Dehua, as a producer, communicated and coordinated with many departments to get a one-day shooting opportunity.

Therefore, many wonderful high-altitude scenes will also bring many surprises to movie fans.

The next day, mainland China and Hong Kong media praised the movies very well.

As the most popular police and gangster film this year, "Cold War" not only soared in the box office, but also made a reputation.

Since its release on November 8, "Cold War" has reached 90 million in the first week in the mainland, ranking first in the national box office list, and won the weekly box office championship with a 93 million yuan second week. In the third week, despite the arrival of many blockbusters, "Cold War" still won nearly 30 million in the box office, with a total box office of more than 230 million in the mainland, which has no suspense to break the record of the highest box office in the mainland. With its strong reputation and strength, it is expected to continue to set a new box office record.

At the same time, "Cold War" has also had a very popular box office in Hong Kong.

According to the official data of the Hong Kong Film Association, the box office of the movie was 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars on the day of release, setting a record for the highest box office of Chinese films this year, from the release of November 18, 2012 to December 31, the box office revenue was HK$42,686,613. It became the annual box office champion of Chinese films in 2012.

In the end, with a box office revenue of HK$428,100, it ranked 17th in the highest cumulative box office of Chinese-language films in Hong Kong in previous years.

Hong Kong local movies have not had a box office of more than 40 million for a long time, and they are simply incomparable to the 1980s.

This movie was also advocated by many Hong Kong media as a rescue work. Its reputation has been soaring, and due to many factors, the box office has become soaring.

In addition, "Cold War" has also had a good box office in many countries and regions around the world, including Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Among them, the film easily broke the record of domestic films such as "Peach Sister" and "Infernal Affairs 3" on Taiwan, and also broke the box office of RM2 million in just 4 days in Malaysia. It has become the highest box office of the country in the past three years.

The total box office, with a box office of more than 300 million yuan, may be the box office level of "Lost in Thailand", but it is Liu Dehua's Hong Kong company's first victory after being classified as Phantom. It greatly boosted morale and also made the Phantom's ink and wash logo become famous in Hong Kong for the first time in the form of a Hong Kong film.

In North America, on the weekend box office list from November 9 to 11 last weekend, after MGM announced bankruptcy, Sony took over the baton and the 23rd "Bond" movie "007: Skyfall", which was taken over by Sony, was airborne with a score of 87.8 million US dollars without any suspense. It not only became the highest opening of "Non-Harry" and "Non-Twilight" in November history, but also successfully rewritten the best opening of the 007 series of films.

Since the overseas market "007: Sky Curtain" led by the UK has been released for half a month, the 23rd Bond release has expanded to 80 countries and regions. It continued to score a good result of US$89 million in the third week.

As of this weekend, the total overseas revenue of "Skyd Intention" has reached US$428 million, basically the same as "Casino Royale"'s US$431 million. It will break its box office ceiling in two to three days and become the leader in the Bond series.

In the third week of the global release, Bond's hometown of the United Kingdom was still ahead of its list, ranking among the top with a single-week income of US$18.2 million.

So far, the box office of "Skyline" in the UK alone reached 117 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "The Dark Knight Rises" to become the highest box office in the UK this year.

According to such a box office trend, it is very likely to break the $150 million of "Avatar". Also outstanding is Germany's 15.1 million,007 revenue in Germany this week has exceeded US$44 million. It ranks second in the German box office list in 2012.

By the way, as of this week's "Skyd Intention" has an overseas revenue of 425 million + 87.8 million in North America = 518 million US dollars. It is only one step away from the box office of "The Highest Bond" of "Casino Royale" of 599 million, and this result will be refreshed next weekend.

Since this movie has not been released in the world's second-largest box office, my country and Japan, including Australia, one of the box office locations, have not yet been released, it still has strong box office upwards. At this stage, it seems that the global box office exceeds 900 million US dollars, and it has the strength to hit 1 billion US dollars.

There are many reasons for the popularity of "Skyline Murder" but in the final analysis there are only three words: "attention"! Since MGM announced its official bankruptcy and reorganization, the whereabouts of Bond movies have become a topic of great concern to fans.

After struggling in the bankruptcy whirlpool of MGM and finally settled in Sony, the London Olympics accompanied the Queen's "fall from the sky" and invisibly made a giant global advertisement for the film's "Skyfall" (Is this creativity negotiated by the crew and the London Olympic Organizing Committee? This operation is too powerful). In addition, this year marks the 50th anniversary of Bond's birth. Starting from the Museum of Modern Art in the United States, the Bond Culture Month, which lasted several months, Bond Concerts, Bond Theme Culture Exhibition, Bond Props Auction, etc., have all become strong publicity for the film.
