According to media reports, Lin Jiadong, who was filming the new film "Stealth", was accidentally injured in the early morning of July 12 and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
It is reported that he accidentally tripped and fell while filming a scene of running with a child on the set. The scene was a mess and the ground was full of stones. When Lin Jiadong fell, he had a strong momentum and suffered multiple injuries to his body. The injury was quite serious and he was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
In response to Lam Ka Tung's injury, the media called the person involved, but received no reply. Director Kwan Chi-yao kept silent, Simon Yam replied to the media that he had no scenes in the past two days, so he did not know. However, according to the local police public relations department, someone was indeed accidentally injured in Tsing Yi in the early morning of July 12.
Let’s talk about this movie first. Checking the film bureau's registration, we can find that "Stealth" is the only co-production film among the registered films released by the film bureau in April. The screenwriter is Xiu Shengye, and the registration unit is Shanghai Aimei Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Andy Lau DREAMMAKERS ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED.
As we all know, after the wave of co-productions started in 2003, there were a large number of co-production films between the Mainland and Hong Kong. However, the situation has changed in the past two years. Although many films are also co-productions, because they are mainly funded by mainland companies, the registration filings are also submitted by mainland companies. , so none of the projects were registered according to the attributes of co-productions. This is why there was only one co-production film "Stealth" in the whole of April. Other films that were approved, such as Lin Chaoxian 's "Operation Red Sea 2", were written and directed by Zhang Aijun. None of the self-produced films "Three Weddings and an Accident" were set up as co-productions.
Well, as mentioned above, "Stealth" is jointly produced by the mainland production company Aimi Film and Television and Andy Lau's Dream Maker Entertainment. Andy Lau also insisted on listing his company as a filing unit and filing the film as a co-production. This shows that he attaches great importance to this film. This is also the principle that Andy Lau has always adhered to when participating in films in recent years, that is, he usually invests and serves as a producer, so that he can better control the quality of the film.
And "Stealth" is indeed worthy of Andy Lau's efforts. The film cast is very strong. The director is Kwan Chi-yao, who directed " Chasing the Dragon " and served as the cinematographer for "Wushuang" and other films. The starring actors include Andy Lau, Peng Yuyan, Lam Jiadong, The cast of Simon Yam, Zheng Zeshi, and other actors is very strong. Judging from the plot synopsis filed and announced, the story background of "Stealth" is the high-tech development of drug crimes in Hong Kong. Undercover Xiu Hao (suspected to play the role of Andy Lau) is lurking in the drug lord Qiu Zhen. An has been with An for many years, waiting for opportunities to collect evidence. Long-term debt to the family led to his wife filing for divorce, Xiu Hao fell into the dual dilemma of being an undercover agent and having a broken family. In the end, he sacrificed himself and wiped out the drug trafficking network with his teammates, and also made his wife and children aware of his many years of justice.
Judging from the plot summary, Xiu Hao’s character has a lot of room for development, and there are undercover elements, plus the grand scene of annihilating the villain organization, "Stealth" is indeed worth looking forward to.
Judging from the previously exposed Reuters photos, Andy Lau is in good condition on the set. He is very stylish in a black suit and glasses.
Let’s go back to Lin Jiadong. Judging from the cast list, Lin Jiadong is ranked after Andy Lau and before Peng Yuyan. He should be the second male lead in the film. His role is very heavy. If he needs to be hospitalized for recuperation due to this injury, it will undoubtedly slow down the pace of the film. Moreover, the movie has assembled so many stars, and everyone’s schedules are very tight. The lead actor Andy Lau’s schedule alone has been scheduled until 2030. In addition to this "Stealth", Andy Lau's planned movies include "Chilling 3" and " Seven Saints" ", "Monster Catcher", "Bomb Disposal Expert 3", "Flower Street Tears" and "The Wandering Earth 2". These six movies are tentatively scheduled for 2023. Among them, "The Wandering Earth 2" is already in the filming and production process. If "The Wandering Earth 2" "Stealth" lengthens the shooting period, which will definitely affect Andy Lau's subsequent work.
The last thing I want to say is that netizens who are familiar with Hong Kong movies know that Lin Jiadong and Andy Lau have a close relationship. Andy Lau signed Lin Jiadong to his company before, which helped him a lot. Hong Kong's film industry is already quite mature. Normally, as long as there is an action scene, Wia will be used. There are professional martial arts to help the actors to avoid injuries. This time Lam Jiadong had an accident. He should have been carrying a child on the rugged and paved scene. Running on a gravel road is not originally a difficult action scene, so there is definitely no wire harness. In addition, you have to protect the child you are holding. You cannot protect yourself as much as possible when you fall. Plus there are rocks on the ground, so you will fall hard. serious. I still hope that Lin Jiadong can recover soon, and that "Stealth" can be successfully completed.
