"City Hunter" is an action comedy film directed by Wang Jing and starring Jackie Chan, Wang Zuxian , Goto Kumiko, and Yau Shuzhen . The film tells the story of Meng Bo, a private detective who went to the gambling boat in pursuit of Huixiang, and encounters the gangsters hijacking the gambling boat. The film was released in Hong Kong on January 16, 1993. With a total box office of 30 million US dollars, the results are not bad.
At this time, he was accumulating power to hit Hollywood. Director Wang Jing also had other films to be filmed, and the sequel plan was shelved. The script for the sequel was actually written when the first film was released, but later because of Jackie Chan’s career focus, he moved to Hollywood and never found a schedule.
In 1995, "Red Zone" earned 32 million US dollars in North America alone, and Jackie Chan's name resounded all over the world. He later acted as a star and director and even served as a producer, creating series of masterpieces such as "Thunderbolt", " Police Story " and so on, earning a lot of money.
With the adjustment of the career direction, the sequel of "City Hunter" has changed from a plan to an indefinite "dream". In 1996, a version of "Meng Bo" was filmed in Hong Kong, directed by Yuan Junwen and starred by Zhou Wenjian.
In 2016, Huang Xiaoming announced at the press conference that he had obtained all the IP copyrights of the original work in China. The remake plan is also on the agenda. It is said that it will be directed by Tang Jili, but it has not been released yet.
The original author Mr. Hojo also had high hopes, and he specially sent the original manga signed with precious autographs as a gift. At the same time, he was looking forward to the role of Huang Xiaoming in "City Hunter" as a gift. But netizens commented on this: "Please! Don't destroy the classic!" "Huang Xiaoming starring in "City Hunter" This is the best joke I have ever heard".Because everyone knows that the biggest feature of Meng Bo is: the last second is still very handsome, the next second may become "cheap", the role is defined as wandering between handsome and nympho, both solemn and harmonious, imperfect but very grounded Chivalrous character. I wonder if Huang Jiaozhu can hold such a role? What do you guys think of Huang Jiaozhu as Meng Bo?
