The performance of the five of them received thunderous applause from the film crew in the conference room.
"That was awesome."
"Wonderful."
"This is the most awesome show I've ever seen."
"I don't even know how to express how excited I am."
"I've really benefited a lot from it."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, that's all for today. After the press conference tomorrow, we'll officially start filming. Everyone, please go back. "
After everyone left, Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Sister Yu, Wan Qing, didn't you guys say that you would only be here at night?"
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "Luckily, we came early. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to see such a wonderful scene. Huang Bo, you're quite impressive. You actually managed to finish your scenes under the pressure of so many Best Actors. "
Huang Bo smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Yu, don't say that. My back is already drenched. "
Zhang Liping sighed and said, "It's not just you. I thought that my acting skills were already very good, but when compared to you, it immediately showed the difference. Teachers, I've really learned a lot today. "
Liang Hui shook his head and said, "Teacher Zhang, you're too humble. I didn't expect that the Yenching Film Institute would actually have a Best Actor like you. As expected of Hua Xia's First Academy. However, what surprised me the most today was Yunhai. "
Ye Yongren agreed and said, "That's right. In the performance just now, Yunhai performed the best other than Old Liang. Not only did he portray the role of Chen Yongren to the fullest, but his portrayal of the other characters was also very vivid. Compared to me and Old Huang, he's a level higher. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Teacher Ye, you flatter me. I'm not as good as you say."
Huang Qiusheng laughed and said, "There's nothing to hide. Old Liang is known as the God of Acting in the industry because he can change his aura at will to perfectly blend in with his character. As for Yunhai, you already have the ability to do so. Hai, the student has surpassed the master. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Teachers, let's stop praising each other. Sister Yu, Wan Qing, are you ready? After the press conference tomorrow, I'll shoot all your scenes and try to finish them in one day. "
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be a problem. I guarantee it'll be done in one try."
Zhao Wanqing said, "I'm fine with it too."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, I'll go take a look at the set now. Let's stop here."
Everyone agreed.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Hubby, give me your room key."
Xiao Yunhai gave her the key and left.
The next day at 9 AM, the press conference for "Infernal Affairs" was officially held in the hotel's auditorium.
Because this was Xiao Yunhai's new film, and several of the best actors were participating in it, "Infernal Affairs" had an incomparably strong appeal in Hua Xia.
Its press conference naturally attracted a lot of attention from the media. There were more than 200 media outlets that came to attend the press conference alone.
When Xiao Yunhai, Ye Yongren, Liang Hui, Huang Qiusheng, Zhao Wanqing, Yu Yuexian, and other celebrities walked up to the rostrum one by one, the audience applauded for a long time.
Sitting in their respective seats, Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Thank you all for coming to the press conference for 'Infernal Affairs'. I think everyone should know the actors sitting on the stage, so I won't introduce them. Now, if you have any questions, you can ask directly. "
A reporter from the entertainment industry who already knew about it stood up and asked, "Director Xiao, may I ask what the three words' Infernal Affairs' mean? What's the purpose of using such a name for a police and gangster film? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Buddha says that one will never die after receiving the Infernal Affairs. Longevity is a great calamity in the Infernal Affairs. The Infernal Affairs is the Avici Hell. It's the most bitter of the eight hells in the Buddhist scriptures. Anyone who is sent there will never be able to escape. The living environment of the two protagonists is a Infernal Affairs for them. That's why I named the film 'Infernal Affairs'. "
"Director Xiao, how long will it take for you to finish filming 'Infernal Affairs'? Will it be released earlier than 'Inception' which you're doing post-production? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "This film relies on an unimaginable plot. It tests the acting skills of the actors. If 'Valiant Heroes' is the pinnacle of action films, then 'Infernal Affairs' is the pinnacle of battle of wits. Its tension and excitement permeates the entire film. Because it has high requirements for the acting skills of the actors, I can only invite the best actors in Hua Xia. We will have very exciting scenes in it. You can go to the cinema to see how exciting it is. "
"I've already prepared all the filming locations for 'Infernal Affairs'. According to my plan and schedule, it can be completed in about a week. Even with post-production, it won't take more than half a month. Because of this, the film will definitely be released earlier than 'Inception', and it'll be released worldwide. "
Xiao Yunhai's words caused an uproar among the reporters.
"It can't be. Finishing a movie in a week? That's way too fast."
"What's wrong with that? The 20-episode TV series' iPartment 'finished in 18 days.' Infernal Affairs' is already considered slow. "
"Yun Huang's efficiency in filming is definitely one of the best in the world. You can't help but be impressed."
"Please don't end up with a lousy film just for the sake of speed."
"Impossible. Yun Huang won't ruin his own reputation. Moreover, there are three Best Actors and two Best Actresses. They won't allow their film to be a lousy one. "
A reporter asked, "Mr Xiao, can you predict the box office of 'Infernal Affairs'? Do you think it can surpass' Valiant Heroes'? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "In terms of excitement, this film is obviously better than 'Valiant Heroes'. But the box office is hard to predict. However, I feel that no matter how low the global box office of 'Infernal Affairs' is, it won't be less than 5 billion Hua Xia dollars. "
When the reporters heard that, they exclaimed once again.
It couldn't be helped. The figure of 5 billion was too shocking. Other than Xiao Yunhai, no other director in Hua Xia could achieve such a box office result.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, "Yun Huang is Yun Huang. He's too awesome."
"Teacher Ye, why did you agree to act in this film?"
Ye Yongren smiled and said, "The script is good, the actors are good, and the director is good. These are the three reasons."
"Then can you predict the box office?"
"I agree with Director Xiao. 5 billion shouldn't be a problem."
"Teacher Liang …."
The press conference for 'Infernal Affairs' lasted for a total of one hour before it ended in a hurry.
Xiao Yunhai wasted no time and immediately brought everyone to the set. The first scene was the scene between Yu Yuexian and Ye Yongren.
Their acting skills were naturally excellent. With the addition of Yu Yuexian, the two scenes were completed in just two hours.
After lunch, Xiao Yunhai filmed the scene between himself and Zhao Wanqing. The two of them were even faster and completed all the scenes within an hour.
After that, Xiao Yunhai continued to work hard and completed the scene between himself and his ex-girlfriend. Just like that, in just half a day, the scenes for the three actresses were completed.
Because Xiao Yunhai needed to rush to shoot the night scene, he only sent one car to send Yu Yuexian, Zhao Wanqing, and Lin Hui to Hong Kong International Airport and flew back to Beijing together.
