Four years have passed.
and " chill ", " unparalleled ", " bomb disposal expert 2" and " rage·serious case " broke out one after another.
Hong Kong movies have also entered the era of "blockbusters".
Major film industry giants are also planning new chapters.
Meiya Films, which has always focused on quality, bet on Weng Ziguang.

has successively joined Tony Leung and Xu Guanwen .
but for various reasons.
is delayed by four years.
Today, the decline trend of Hong Kong movies is obvious.
Many people look down on the cop and gangster type.
But to be honest, the police and gangster theme happens to be a particularly exciting aspect of Chinese-language movies.
Literature, darkness, love, epic, animation, special effects and even fantasy themes. Under the impact of Hollywood , Bollywood and European, Korean and Japanese movies, Chinese-language movies are actually not very strong in resisting, at least. It is difficult to go abroad.
Those comedy movies that easily earn billions are qualified as commercial products, but they are not really competitive.
As for Hong Kong police and gangster movies, even if they get to the international stage, they still have a fighting chance. There is no need to go into details about the grand occasion of
in the last century, and if there was a reason why the global film industry as a whole did not enter the industrialized era in that era, then in 2002, " Infernal Affairs " was released in many countries one after another, and the copyright was bought by Hollywood. Remakes of 2012's "Chill" and 2018's "Wushuang" are not limited to China.
These phenomena are enough to illustrate the tyranny of this type of movie.
In particular, Hong Kong filmmakers may be regarded as the best in the world in terms of action and risk-taking. Their thrills and excitement are not only far superior to those of South Korea and Japan, but also cannot be replaced by Hollywood's special effects.
So after gradually eliminating the extensiveness and roughness of the old era.
Hong Kong police and gangster movies will continue to shine and will gain higher achievements and recognition.
This is of course also a fact that those who are fond of the past and think of the present find it difficult to imagine.
and no one would have thought of it.
Aaron Kwok will actually be the final flag-bearer of Hong Kong movies.
His late maturity and jaw-dropping growth rate have made him the "most useful" actor in the entire Hong Kong film industry today.
has just the right amount of maturity, good looks, peak physical fitness and absolute strength in acting. Looking at the entire film industry, there is no other person who can have his breadth and breadth of adaptability.
has reviewed his film career. In the past ten years, there have been a total of seven films that have swept the Academy Awards , three of which were directed by him.
For example, the director of "Chill" locked him in the script stage, "Blood in Search of Plum Blossoms" has always been in love with him, and the script of "Wushuang" was also handed to him immediately.
In addition, Huanyu's " anti-drug 3" was publicly named by investors, Meiya's "When the Wind Rises Again" was tailor-made, and Infinite Power's "Temporary Robbery" cooperated with Er Dongsheng for the first time, Emperor 's "Insider" officially joins hands with Mak Siu Fai .
's various trends are, on the one hand, the continuous improvement of the quality of his works that can be seen with the naked eye, and on the other hand, they are signals that he is fully committed to focusing on commercial films and .
But there is data and hidden information that almost no one has noticed.
so far.
Including platter movies such as "The Banquet" and "Club of the Stars", Aaron Kwok has released a total of 57 movies. There are 49
starring movies, including two group dramas " Global Love " and " Getting Better Village Night ". Further breakdown, there are 24 commercial movies, namely action and comedy types.
So how many police and gangster movies can be included in it?
has a total of ten movies, including the early " Street Fighter ", "Heavenly Love 2: Forever", as well as the 2000 " AD 2000", " Thunder Men ", and the 2003 Lin Chaoxian's toy work " charges into the battle ", and then jumped from 2005's "Sanchakou" to 2012's "Chill", 2016's " chill 2", 2017's "Broken Game" and 2018 Year's "Wushuang".
Chow Yun-fat said that it can be seen that Aaron Kwok has improved in every drama.
This can explain why he only started to focus on the film industry with "Sanchakou" in 2005. After only four works of the same type, he can reach the top of the film industry with "Wu Shuang". This is a particularly terrifying thing. ability.
What's more important is that through this movie, two performance methods, commercial and literary, are integrated into one pot.
has an online account and wrote this sentence.
"Aaron Kwok is now obsessed with filming movies, especially high-quality movies in Hong Kong. He is basically chosen to play the leading male role from the moment they are cast. Unless he doesn't play, then it will be diverted to other actors. In hand."
may be speculative, but it may not be too far from the truth.
even coincides with some of the ideas I've seen before.
Some people believe that the reason why Aaron Kwok is so prominent at this stage has a lot to do with his own appearance and physical fitness.
is actually quite normal. The world ultimately belongs to young people.
Aaron Kwok was able to reverse his age by 20 to 30 years in the movie "Warriors", and he was able to span sixty years in "The Wind Rises Again". This in itself is a rare ability.
As for police and gangster action movies, it is impossible for all the protagonists to be elderly people aged sixty or above.
So Aaron Kwok’s advantage can indeed be said to be “as big as you want”.
is supplemented by strong acting skills. Who can compete with
?
The movie "When the Wind Rises Again" is a typical duo configuration.
Many "box office watchers" believe that the two heroes cannot reflect the box office appeal of the actors.
This is really a "strange story".
single-core and dual-core, in fact, are not completely linked to the box office level, and examples abound.
In the 1990s, "New Shanghai Beach" had 20.83 million, " Black Gold " had 18.27 million, "Dark Flower" had 9.56 million, "True Heroes" had 6.79 million, "The Hero of the Storm" had 41.53 million, and " Dark War" " 14.65 million, only "Wind and Cloud: Dominate the World" stands out.
Entering the 2000s, " Tokyo Strategy " 28.18 million, " Battle of the Forbidden City " 21.33 million, "Infernal Affairs" 55.05 million, "Infernal Affairs 3" 30.22 million, "Jianghu" 12.91 million, "" "Shangcheng " has 20.06 million, and " Fengyun 2" has 15.44 million. Only "Infernal Affairs" stands out among the others.
Looking at the 10s, "Chill" had 42.82 million, " Equator" had 16.15 million, "Chill II" had 66.82 million, "Walker" had 10.98 million, " Chasing the Dragon " had 18.72 million, "Wushuang" had 34.4 million, "Chasing the Dragon 2" has 9.15 million, "Walker 2" has 9.36 million, "Drug 2" has 24.81 million, and "Integrity" has 31.36 million. Only two "Cold War" dazzled.
In the past three decades, there have been 25 typical two-hero movies. Only four films have exceeded the box office of 40 million in Hong Kong, and none of the single-protagonist movies has reached the box office of 40 million.
What does this mean? It's very simple. Apart from the bi-weekly 100% revenue in the golden age, there is no precedent for any other actor in the Hong Kong film industry to single-handedly cross the 40 million box office mark. This is the truth.
emphasizes "single core", which is actually more like a "rookie" pecking each other.
And this time the drama between Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Chiu-wai. How much will
be worth?
movie was launched in 2017.
Aaron Kwok was 52 years old at that time, and Tony Leung was 55 years old, in their prime.
Tony Leung is highly praised in the industry, while Aaron Kwok is at the peak of his momentum. Together with Weng Tse-kwong, who rose to fame with "On Blood", this combination is called a "dream" lineup.
Zhuang Wenqiang once said, " Chen Yongren's career in the political arena is certainly dangerous, and when he is also working as an undercover agent, both sides are shady. It is common in movies for police officers to infiltrate gangs, and the audience is familiar with this kind of character. This time we will describe his life more. Apart from trivial matters, I have to rely on Tony Leung's performance to bring out the old and bring out the new. You must know that he can still perform a role that has been played thousands of times by others."
And he said after "Wu Shuang" that Aaron Kwok's performance was beyond the ordinary. The needs of myself and the movie.
Weng Ziguang said that in "When the Wind Rises Again", Aaron Kwok's enthusiasm for movies and sharp performance are even better than in "Blood and Plum Blossoms".
Aaron Kwok praised Tony Leung for being extremely charming, while Tony Leung praised Aaron Kwok for being very professional.
Xi Guanwen is contrary to his image in comedy movies.
The torrent of the times, the ups and downs of characters, and the arrangements of the hand of fate. This is a biographical film about a hero who "survives in times of adversity".
will most likely surpass many types of films in Hong Kong film history due to its epic connotation and in-depth pursuit.
may be one of the best movies of this decade.
As for the box office, it may be based on one billion.
Meiya invested 200 million.
is betting on the combination of new director Weng Ziguang and Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung. Is
wise or risky?
This question has yet to be answered by the market.
It has been four years since Weng Ziguang’s “love letter” was sealed.
and the official account of the movie interact silently.
or will it be released in August?
