The big movies "Chinese Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs" were released at the same time.

On the first day, the premiere box office was released.

"The Hero of China" won five million box office in one fell swoop, and "Infernal Affairs" won three hundred box office.

In other words, in terms of premiere box office, the big movie "Chinese Heroes" originally produced by Kang's Entertainment beats "Infernal Affairs" produced by Song's Phantom Entertainment.

The reason is that "Heroes of China" is adapted from a comic and has accumulated popularity since a long time ago. So many comic fans are looking forward to it and have been looking forward to the release of this drama. Now, "Heroes of China" has to come and support it.

Secondly, as the male pig's feet in this drama, Ekin Cheng has already gained great popularity in Hong Kong, especially the "Young and Dangerous" series he starred in, which can be said to be popular in Hong Kong. It can even be said that Ekin Cheng's popularity at this time has surpassed the four kings of Hong Kong.

In contrast, there was not much publicity during the period from the start of filming to the premiere of "Infernal Affairs". The only news created was that a script "China, the United States and South Korea" was filmed together. In addition, the actors starring in this drama were Liu Dehua and Tony Leung.

As we all know, these two are famous Hong Kong stars and the "Five Tiger Generals" in the legendary Hong Kong TVB.

Later, for some reason, Tony Leung broke off his friendship with the other four. It is said that because the five people agreed to have good fortune and hardship, they forced TVB to modify the harsh contract, otherwise the five people would leave TVB together. Unexpectedly, Tony Leung betrayed the organization and signed the contract and stayed.

Of course, these are all rumors, but it is true that Tony Leung has a tense relationship with the other five tigers.

This time, when filming "Infernal Affairs", Andy Lau and Tony Leung worked together to directly break these previous rumors of "disagreement", which is also the second "selling point" of this drama.

But no matter what, the premiere box office "Infernal Affairs" actually lost to "The Hero of China".

According to professional statistics: Seven out of every ten people went to the cinema last night to visit "Chinese Heroes".

In addition, the audience who likes to watch "Chinese Heroes" is roughly aged 16 to 25 years old, which belongs to the younger generation of Hong Kong. The general education level is not too high. Many people are unemployed or engaged in service industries such as parking, waiters, and salesmen.

On the contrary, although only 300 people watched "Infernal Affairs", these audiences are roughly between the ages of 20 and 45, with a large age span, and the Hong Kong middle class accounts for the majority, including financial personnel, lawyers, doctors, and professional managers.

It can be said that the audience of these two movies is different, which temporarily determines the premiere box office of these two movies.

The second day of the premiere of the two dramas.

"Chinese Heroes" continued to work hard, and won 5.3 million in one box office, and it officially exceeded 10 million in two days.

The box office of "Infernal Affairs" not only did not shrink, but also rose, reaching 3.8 million yuan, which actually exceeded "Chinese Heroes" according to the growth rate.

Some discerning people feel that something is foreshadowed when they see this situation.

Sure enough, on the third day of the premiere, a reversal happened.

Perhaps it was because the audience who supported the drama "Chinese Heroes" reached its peak two days ago and was saturated on the third day, so the box office reached 5.1 million, 100,000 more than the first day and 200,000 less than the second day.

In addition, some professionals have analyzed that another reason for this situation is the "dissatisfaction" of comic fans with the adaptation of the content of this comic-adapted movie.

In fact, from a global perspective, no matter which country or region, comic adaptations are rarely convinced by all comic fans, and the adaptations are outstanding.

The reason is that the comics present the fantasies in the mind, while the movies are the directors and screenwriters imposed their fantasies on these comic fans.

As a result, it is difficult for everyone to talk, and some comic fans will be dissatisfied with the adaptation of this drama, and then start to complain and attack and accuse the drama.

As the most important work in Hong Kong's history, the comic "Heroes of China" carries the memories of countless Hong Kong people, so whether its adaptation is successful has become the object of everyone's attention.

Now, three days have passed and the result has come out.

Among the 100 comic fans, 30% said that the adaptation was very rubbish and failed, "completely ruining such a classic comic"!

Another 40% believe that, "Although the Chinese hero played by Ekin Cheng is handsome, he lacks heroic spirit. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a copy of Chen Haonan!"

In the end, the remaining thirty percent of the movie fans believed that "the movie time is too short to interpret the wonderfulness of the comics. Many exciting parts of the comics have been deleted, which makes people feel the most indignant and helpless!"

But no matter what, the comic-adapted movie "Heroes of China" "winned the box office but lost its reputation" from the very beginning.

...

By comparison—

Let’s watch the big movie "Infernal Affairs" created and supported by Song Zhichao.

Although it does not have an audience base like "Chinese Heroes", the exciting part of this drama lies in its "creativeness" and subverts the traditional routine of Hong Kong police and gangster films!

It can be said that "Infernal Affairs" was a pioneer and played a new trick for two undercover agents for the first time.

This is a "high IQ" movie, and the plot and concept almost crush many mentally retarded people.

So, those who claim to be Hong Kong elites began to comment in newspapers and magazines with great say after watching this drama.

There is no way, who makes them middle class and cultural people? Compared with those viewers who watch "Chinese Heroes", there is time and money. What is important is that the media invites them to express their opinions.

No exception—

Almost all of those elites praised the wonderfulness of the play, as well as the shocking creativity and conception.

"This drama can be recorded in history!"

"This is an epic movie, setting a precedent for police and gangster movies!"

"If you think you have a sharp IQ, then please watch this drama!"

It has to be said that Hong Kong, a capitalist society, has always been a society dominated by rich people and elites.

Compared with those young and dandy boys and the common people who watched "Chinese Heroes", these elites have more say and their speeches are more authoritative.

So—

"Infernal Affairs" instantly surged.

Become a big movie that has been mythologically.

Countless Hong Kong people began to flock to this drama, and some of them didn't like watching police and gangster movies. After hearing the excitement of "Infernal Affairs", they couldn't help but walk into the movie to "see the truth".

More Hong Kong people believe that they have no problems with their intelligence. In order to verify this "fact", of course they have to go to the cinema to enjoy the "Infernal Affairs" with everyone.

So—

The box office of "Infernal Affairs" officially counterattacked from the third day!

It has exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars in just one week, and the foreign market has also begun to become popular.

The box office in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the treasure island of Taiwan has been rising steadily. The total box office has reached 35 million US dollars in just half a month, totaling nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars!

Such a huge box office has long surpassed the "Chinese Hero" that crushed it before!
