Generally speaking, it is unlikely that an actor who has won a movie star will work together again because it is too expensive for the film producer. A movie actor needs to pay a very high salary. If several such big stars are put together, the cost of the salary becomes unbearable. However, in a Hong Kong film, this thing was done, and it was done very beautifully. It was the pinnacle of the Hong Kong film era and the final glory-"Infernal Affairs". It was not two movie kings, but four.
The four great actors gather together and the two leading actors of
Needless to say, Andy Lau and Tony Leung have won more than one trophy. In addition, Huang Qiusheng and Zeng Zhiwei, who are supporting roles, are also actors who have been movie kings. It is undoubtedly very ambitious that a movie brings together so many actors with proven acting skills.
Before the appearance of "Infernal Affairs", Hong Kong films had been silent for many years. Directors Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu Fai took on the mission of saving Hong Kong films. They did not hesitate to summon so many relatively more expensive actors into the venue to complete a difficult task together.
Facts have proved that they succeeded, and Hong Kong films ushered in a higher peak. However, this peak state did not continue as expected, but that is another story and I will not repeat it here.
perfect actor plus perfect shooting
It is certain that the audience enjoyed a super movie-watching experience. Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Huang Qiusheng, and Zeng Zhiwei are in the same frame, which is probably the one that has been seen for a long time. What's also commendable is that the creators don't think that bringing these people together is a success, but they have to create a script worthy of this super lineup, so that these people can perform. The same is true for the other types of work, and everyone completes the task together. After the movie
was released, it was strongly affirmed by people inside and outside the industry and audiences. It won the Best Film Award, Best Actor and Best Director at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards, and also won the Best Film Award at the 40th Taiwan Film Awards. Best film, get the prize and get sore. All the effort is worth it.
Hong Kong movie extravagant past
watch afterwards, especially after more than ten years, many clips and lines in the film have become classics. Especially when Hong Kong movies are gradually fading out of people's sight today, thinking about the cast of "Infernal Affairs" is really too extravagant.
