The stars who walked out of the theater were immediately surrounded by reporters.
"Teacher Wang Guoan, what do you think of 'Infernal Affairs'?"
"It's a classic among classics."
"Director Wu, what do you think of 'Infernal Affairs' by director Yun Huang?"
"It's the pinnacle of Hua Xia's police and gangster movies. No one can surpass it."
"Teacher Huang Peiqi, if you were to give a score, what would you give 'Infernal Affairs'?"
"Full marks, because I haven't seen any other movie that can surpass it."
All the celebrities who were asked praised "Infernal Affairs" and were not stingy with their compliments.
That night, the fans who had watched the movie exploded on the Internet.
"Infernal Affairs has nothing to say about it. I have to watch it."
"Infernal Affairs can't be shot in six days. That's what the bastard said. Let me tell you, it can still be a classic among classics in six days. "
"'Infernal Affairs' is the pinnacle of Hua Xia's police and gangster movies. No one can surpass it."
"Tension and excitement throughout. It's so good."
"If you don't watch 'Infernal Affairs', please don't call yourself a fan."
"'Infernal Affairs' costs 30 yuan per ticket. Is it expensive? Let me tell you, it's too cheap. Even if it costs 300 yuan per ticket, you must go. The shock of this movie is something that 10 or 20 movies can't give you. "
"I'm so embarrassed tonight. I'm always strong, but when I watch 'Infernal Affairs', I'm actually crying. It's so depressing. "
"Compared to those Hollywood blockbusters, 'Infernal Affairs' doesn't have any exciting scenes, gorgeous scenery, or explosive action. But it can shock you to the core."
"Yun Huang's' Infernal Affairs' is the best movie I've ever seen. I'll watch it again tomorrow."
On all the famous movie forums, countless fans recommended Xiao Yunhai's' Infernal Affairs'. It was even more popular than 'Valiant Heroes'.
Five-star film critic Wang Yifu posted, "I was lucky enough to watch Xiao Yunhai's latest film 'Infernal Affairs' tonight. To be honest, before I went, I was wondering what kind of movie could be made in six days. Could such a movie be watched? But when the movie started, all my doubts were cast aside. "
"For a professional film critic like me, there are very few films that can move me. However, this' Infernal Affairs' has turned me into an ordinary fan. I didn't write a single word in the book because the story is too exciting. I don't want to miss a single scene."
"'Infernal Affairs' makes me feel like I don't know where to start. Many movies in the past had nothing to write about, but this one had too many things to write about. A scene, a line, an action, a gunshot, and even a micro-expression can extend a lot of things. "
"This movie doesn't have a single minute to pee from the beginning to the end. The editing is sharp, and there's no sloppiness at all. The soundtrack is perfect, and the atmosphere is perfect. The battle between Xiao Yunhai, Ye Yongren, Huang Qiusheng, and Liang Hui is so intense that no one dares to blink."
"The biggest problem is that the director, Xiao Yunhai, is too cold and cruel. He used a special perspective to present the fate of the two protagonists in front of us, striking directly at our hearts. The shock it brought was hard to accept. "
"If I were to give a score for 'Infernal Affairs', I would give it a score of 9.9. The reason why it's not full marks is because I hope that Xiao Yunhai can continue to work hard and make an even better movie. Go for it, Xiao Yunhai. "
Other than Wang Yifu, other film critics also gave 'Infernal Affairs' a very high rating. None of them gave it a score lower than 9.
On the Internet, 1.3 million fans gave 'Infernal Affairs' a score of 9.42, and 62 film critics gave it a score of 9.54.
Because of the high reputation, the box office of 'Infernal Affairs' was naturally very good.
On the day of the premiere, 'Infernal Affairs' was shown three times in a row. All the theaters were sold out, and it earned 120 million at the box office. The box office of the day in Asian theaters was 360 million. Because of the time difference, the North American theaters opened five hours later than Hua Xia, and the box office was 76 million USD.
From Daniel's phone report, Xiao Yunhai learned that 'Infernal Affairs' was very good in North America. It was given a score of 8.78 on the Internet, which was better than all the other movies in the same time slot.
The 17th of February was a Saturday. "Infernal Affairs" had exploded in popularity. Starlight Cinemas once again increased the number of showings. For 13 consecutive showings, the occupancy rate had reached 95% and above. Even so, demand still exceeded supply. The box office result of 434 million RMB shocked the entire entertainment industry.
There was also good news from the Asian theaters. The box office of the day reached 426 million Hua Xia dollars.
With the high reputation, 'Infernal Affairs' earned 248 million USD at the North American theaters. Kree told Xiao Yunhai that if it weren't for the limited number of showtimes, the box office would have been much better.
In just one day, the box office of 'Infernal Affairs' exceeded 1.3 billion USD worldwide, sweeping the entire film industry.
Hua Xia's major media outlets, the Internet, magazines, and newspapers published the news one after another. They wrote about 'Infernal Affairs' with countless praises.
"After 'Valiant Heroes', Yun Huang's new film 'Infernal Affairs' takes the world by storm again."
"'Infernal Affairs' grossed 1.3 billion USD yesterday, shocking the film industry."
"Domestic movies rise, 'Infernal Affairs' takes the top spot in the box office."
"Yun Huang's' Infernal Affairs' beats all other movies, proving that Yun Huang is invincible once again."
"Infernal Affairs, who can compete?"
"Experts predict that 'Infernal Affairs' will surpass' Valiant Heroes'."
On Starlight Cinema's homepage, firecrackers went off. The big red banner read, "Congratulations to 'Infernal Affairs' taking the world by storm, breaking 1.3 billion USD on the first day."
The afternoon news broadcast once again broadcasted the news related to 'Infernal Affairs'. The reporters interviewed many movie fans at the cinema, and they were all full of praise for 'Infernal Affairs'.
It couldn't be helped. When Hollywood blockbusters were sweeping the Hua Xia, the appearance of 'Infernal Affairs' broke the myth of Hollywood's invincibility and swept away the declining trend of domestic movies. If the Ministry of Culture didn't promote it well, they would be letting themselves down.
Under the strong effect of the word of mouth, 'Infernal Affairs' exploded on Sunday, February 18th. The Hua Xia box office went wild, earning 472 million USD. The Asian box office was somewhat restrained, earning 267 million USD. The North American box office took 285 million USD because of the increased number of showings.
On the day of the box office rankings, 'Infernal Affairs' was unbeatable as the number one movie in the Hua Xia, Asia, North America, and the world.
Movie distributors from other countries came to Yan Jing to find Xiao Yunhai, hoping to import his' Infernal Affairs'.
Xiao Yunhai was naturally very happy about this.
He borrowed a few movie negotiation experts from his father-in-law, so he got a lot of benefits from these distributors.
