Infernal Affairs Prequel: Even if he is not good to the whole world, but if he is good to you, you have to recognize him. If there are no good people in this world, make yourself one. Still be a good person. Q: In "Infernal Affairs I", you played the young Andy Lau, but there were few scenes, but in "Infernal Affairs II", you are already the protagonist of the whole film. What preparations have you made for this? Edison Chen (hereinafter referred to as Chen): I didn't expect to play this film, but the director said that I really look like Andy Lau from the side, so he asked me to play "Liu Jianming". I think the script of Infernal Affairs II is really good, even better than the first episode. I also want to think about this character very seriously, because the story of "Infernal Affairs II" is about the period from 1991 to 1997 before the comeback, so I also want to ask some friends about the situation in that period. Q: In Infernal Affairs II, your character had a crush on Carina Lau and even forced her to kiss her. Did the filming go well? Chen: It's alright. I have known Sister Jia Ling for a long time, so it was not a big problem to shoot, but because of the lens design, I had to shoot many times. Q: The strong cast of "Infernal Affairs II" is rare. For example, Huang Qiusheng, Wu Zhenyu, and Zeng Zhiwei are all movie stars and famous acting schools. How do you feel about working with these famous seniors? Chen: Huang Qiusheng is like a teacher. You can learn a lot from acting with him. He is also willing to discuss with others. Zeng Zhiwei is always laughing and laughing, "hahaha" as soon as we meet, I have known him since I was 16 years old, so we are very familiar with each other. Wu Zhenyu's appearance is more frightening, his eyes and appearance when acting are a bit frightening. However, in Infernal Affairs II, I didn't have a direct rivalry with him, just standing far away in a scene. Q: "Infernal Affairs I" has set a rare box office in Hong Kong in recent years. Is it a pressure for "Infernal Affairs II"? What do you think of the film's box office prospects? Chen: "Infernal Affairs I" has a box office of more than 53 million, but as long as this one can have 28 million, I am very happy. After all, there is no Andy Lau and Tony Leung in the battle. Q: The seniors in the film are all movie stars, and you are also known as the successor of the King of Heaven. Have you ever thought about when you will win the award? Chen: I didn't force myself to win the award. When I am making a film, if I hear seniors or friends compliment my acting skills, it is more gratifying than winning an award. Q: Many artists in Hong Kong have developed in an all-round way on several fronts of music, film and television. You not only make movies but also release records, so where is the focus of your work? Chen: I don't have any requirements for making movies. I want to make any type of movie. I like to make movies I feel that from the director, actors to the staff, everyone has a big family atmosphere together, and it feels good to go to work every day. I don't like pop music reporters in Hong Kong, they ask boring questions, and the business environment in Hong Kong doesn't allow me to express the music I really like. Q: This time "Infernal Affairs I" was released in Japan, have you considered the development of the entertainment industry in Japan? Chen: Of course I thought about it. I really hope to cooperate with the Japanese entertainment industry. However, the disadvantage of that is that once someone notices you, you can't just go out on the street.

    Ni Yongxiao was shot and fell into his brother's arms. When he was dying, he pulled out the wiretap hidden inside his clothes. No one could read his eyes for a moment. While he still had a bit of strength, he put the wiretap back into his younger brother. In his clothes, he then let go, his pupils dilated and left... This is the most soul-stirring and pitiful gangster movie I've ever seen.

    For all kinds of men, there is always one that suits you (Is the magic horse Zeng Zhiwei also counted)! Edison Chen and Shawn Yue should have been the mainstays of current Hong Kong movies. It's a pity that one doesn't understand computers and the other doesn't know how to choose movies. It's a pity, especially Teacher Chen, it's a pity! Bestow you BL!
