"The Legend of the War" was released for 14 days, with a box office of only more than 400 million yuan, and the total box office was predicted to be only 570 million yuan. For investment of 450 million yuan, it is a foregone conclusion that the loss is made.
Louis Koo has been promoting the movie with all his heart and soul since the Academy Awards Awards Gala. He once cried, but he was not crying because of the bad box office, but because of the filming of "The War of Tomorrow".
00-year-old Hong Kong movies, although there are many science fiction works, they are all soft science fiction and no hard science fiction that represents the film industry. Louis Koo is a lonely brave man who bravely took this step and filled the gap in hard science fiction in Hong Kong. Although the box office failed, he will definitely leave his name in film history.
"The War of Tomorrow" has also fulfilled one of his dreams for Gu Zai . A temporary failure does not mean anything. Gu Zai is still the "model worker" and has been in a working state. There are 7 new films to be released next.
1, "Wind Forest Volcano"
Once "The War of Tomorrow", "When the Wind Rises Again" and "Wind Forest Volcano" were the three brothers "difficult" of "Difficult" and "Wind Forest Volcano". Now the mecha science fiction film has been released, and the hero's biopic has also premiered in Hong Kong International Film Festival . Currently, only "Wind Forest Volcano" that continues to squat.
Let me say that, this is also the one I have always been looking forward to. First of all, the theme is interesting. Although it is still a police and gangster crime film, the director has to shoot a cold state. Unlike traditional police and gangster films, it may be a 2022 "Infernal Affairs".
Then director Mai Junlong . Among the young directors in Hong Kong, he and Zeng Guoxiang have great potential. This is a rich second generation who does not care about the cost of filming. He just wants to make the perfect movie in his heart. The last " Zombie " shocked everyone. It not only pays tribute to the Lin Zhengying zombie films in the 1980s, but also incorporates elements of European, American and Japanese horror films. It is a rare masterpiece.
Next is the strong lineup, three emperors and one descendant: Tony Leung , Liu Qingyun , Louis Koo and Bao Qijing , among which Louis Koo is a killer, hoping to make a breakthrough in acting.
Then handsome Takeshi Kaneshiro , goddess Gao Yuanyuan and a group of old actors in Hong Kong, Lu Haipeng , Lin Junxian, Liu Yong , Cheng Dong, Li Yuanba, etc.
2, "Assassination Storm"
The film is adapted from the novel "Death Notice: Darker" by Chinese mystery writer Zhou Haohui. It is a criminal suspense film. It is a rare adapted novel. It was completed as early as 2018 and was scheduled to be released on December 10, 2021. Unfortunately, the file was temporarily withdrawn. The specific reason is unknown.
Hao Litao is the "quick gunman" among Hong Kong directors. I move bricks wherever I need it, but he can exceed the task every time. This movie was filmed in more than a month. It is quite standard, with an explosion case and a "death notice" warning to kill people. The police and gangsters are full of tension.
cast, many of them come from the wireless TV series " Sprint into the Sky " and 2013 "Sprint into the Sky II", such as Wu Zhenyu , Zhang Zhilin, Myolie Wu , etc., and Louis Koo, Simon Yam , Lu Liangwei , Jiang Haowen , Li Zixiong , Wu Yi will join the powerful players such as , Roland, and Luo Guanlan.
Louis Koo "disfigured" to play Huang Shaoping. This character was originally a genius in the police industry, but due to an accident, his family and career were completely destroyed. This is a character with entanglement and anger in his heart. I hope Gu Zai can reach the acting period of " eavesdropping storm " back then.
3, " Anti-Drug 3"
Another work directed by Yau Litao. "Drug 2" is also the director. Although he has joined Andy Lau , the quality is not as good as the first part of Chen Musheng . After all, "Zhazhahui" is crazy about stealing the show, and the popularity of emoticons is almost as popular as Jacky Cheung in "Carmen, Mong Kok".The director and actor of
, the iron-clad Guzai, all participated in Louis Koo in the trilogy. Andy Lau was not included in the other film " Crisis Route " by Universal Entertainment at that time.
Andy Lau is absent, but Liu Qingyun returns, Aaron Kwok fills up, and the three brothers gather successfully again. It is still the old formula, and it is still a human struggle in the dilemma, which is very interesting.
In addition to the newly gathered three brothers, there are also Xie Junhao, Luo Jialiang , Fang CITIC , Chen Guobang, Lin Xue and others joining. Seeing these familiar faces makes people feel relieved.
The heroine is Yang Caiyu . This is also the first time she has worked with the Hong Kong film team. I personally feel that she cannot escape the vase.
4, " Search for Qin "
Louis Koo's love for Xiaolong is more than Yang Guo. "Seeking Qin twitters" means a lot to him. It is not only his second time to win the Emperor, but also his last TV series on TVB. He even regards the original author Huang Yi as his mentor.
Gu Zai wanted to make the movie version of "The Legend of Qin". In 2017, his mentor Huang Yi passed away. In the same year, his world-class film company purchased the copyright of "The Legend of Qin" and began to adapt the script.
Louis Koo attaches great importance to this movie and invites former actors to return, such as "Ying Zheng" Lam Feng , " Wu Tingfang " Xuan Xuan , "Qin Qing" Guo Xianni , "Shan Rou" Teng Liming , "Princess Zhao Qian" Zheng Xueer , "Butler Tao Fang" Ou Ruiwei and "Doctor Wu" Liao Qizhi, which is also one of the works of Uncle Zhi.
It is worth mentioning that the return actors are missing "Lao Ai" Jiang Hua . He said that he "has no intention to film the same role again twenty years later", so he refused.
movie version "The Legend of Qin" was completed as early as July 2019. It is said that it may be released in 2022. It is estimated that the possibility of the New Year holiday is relatively high.
5, "The Siege of Kowloon City"
Zheng Baorui in recent years has returned to local creation. Not long ago, " Wisdom Teeth " won many awards such as Best Actress, Best Screenwriter, Best Photography, etc. at the Academy Awards, and was highly praised.
Now it returns to a criminal action movie, with the theme of "Kowloon City" telling a story about Hong Kong that took place in the 1980s. Sammo Hung is just an actor this time, and the action guidance is performed by Zhen Jiaban's Tanigaki Kenji . I hope to be as powerful as "Dog Bites Dog" and "Killing Wolf 2".
Louis Koo acted as the starring actor. As early as 2009, he worked with Zheng Baorui in "Accident", among which Rien Qi also returned, and a group of actors such as Lam Feng, Wang Debin , Wu Yunlong and other actors joined. According to Lam Feng, there are many wonderful fighting scenes in this film, so let's wait and see.
6, "Beyond the Evil Deeds"
Louis Koo and Lam Jiadong , have been supporting local Hong Kong movies in recent years and promoting new directors to make movies.
The director of this film, Guo Wenqi, is a complete newcomer. This is his first movie, with two major actors escorting him, and the actress’s best actor Lin Jiaxin special performance, and the lineup is very attractive.
You can tell that it is a crime film when you hear the name. Gu Zai and Dongguan Zai each started a fierce confrontation for their own children, which can be simply understood as "a war between two fathers."
So the question is, this time, should you choose Jimmy Zai who can make money, or Dongguan Zai who can hurdle?
7, "A Glimpse of Vitality"
The original director was Chen Musheng. After he left, three directors, Li Zhaojun, Liu Yongtai and Shi Berlin, took over and the filming was completed in November last year.
Chen Musheng remakes a 2004 American movie "First Line Voice Machine" in 2008, renamed "Keep Call", starring Louis Koo and S.
This time it is also a remake, adapted from Hollywood 965 original version of "A Glimpse of Vitality". I hope they can make a good local adaptation. The biggest highlight of the video is that Xuan Xuan and Louis Koo are partnering again, and a group of familiar faces such as Jiang Haowen, Zhang Jicong , Zhang Guoqiang , Li Longji , Li Longji and other familiar faces join. The seven new films on
have been filmed and are waiting for release, but the "model worker" Gu Zai still has many movies about painting big cakes, some are waiting for filming, and some have no news.
For example, Wang Jing's "Chasing the Dragon 3" and "New Worlds", Ma Rongcheng's "Hang 3", Ye Weixin's "Crashing Out of the Dragon Gate Inn", Lu Jianqing's "Fighting in the Battle", Huang Boji's "Destroy the Prime Minister", Luo Yaohui's "Egg Boy" and "On the Way to the Courtyard" written by Ao Yau.
Although Gu Zai is very busy, he enjoys his work status. I hope the above 7 videos will be scheduled as soon as possible. (Written by: Waiter)
