Hong Kong films were most brilliant in the 1980s and 1990s. Later, as the film market moved to the mainland, Hong Kong films began to slowly decline, even many Hong Kong films Actors have also begun to retire. The Hong Kong actors who are currently on fire in the Mainland are also known as Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Jiahui, Zhang Jiahui and other big-name actors.
Currently, among these actors, the strongest at the box office is Chow Yun-fat and Louis Koo. In 2018, "Wushuang" starring Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok won 1.273 billion at the box office, allowing audiences to slowly start to see the declining Hong Kong film. The hope has ignited again.
In 2019, Louis Koo’s "Anti-Corruption Storm 4" won 794 million box office and created the series. After this, Louis Koo not only tore off the label of the king of bad movies, but also increased the popularity of Hong Kong films in the Mainland. After that, audiences are increasingly looking forward to Hong Kong movies.
After "Anti-Corruption Storm 4", the most concerned is the "Chasing the Dragon 2" released today, which is still written and directed by Wang Jing. This second cast of the show will be replaced by Yen Zidan and Andy Lau, please The cast of these celebrities, Leung Ka Fai, Louis Koo, Lin Jiadong, and Yam Dahua have been upgraded. The second part of
has nothing to do with the previous one. The story of "Chasing the Dragon 2" is inspired by the frightening "Century Fighter" that made the entire Hong Kong news In the case of Zhang Ziqiang, Zhang Ziqiang has planned many kidnapping cases, and the high amount of criminal proceeds has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Wang Jing has always wanted to film the story of Zhang Ziqiang. This time, he has carefully designed the story and the scale of the case has also been boldly upgraded, restoring the process of the kidnapping and arrest of the Hong Kong rich by a criminal group headed by Zhang Ziqiang. , Tells about the gangster Long Zhiqiang. Before the return of Hong Kong, he took advantage of the inaction of the British government in Hong Kong and repeatedly committed huge crimes. He kidnapped the rich man Lijia and the eldest son of the Lei family for more than 2 billion yuan. The victim was afraid of retaliation. Dare to call the police after payment. The Ministry of Public Security of China is extremely concerned and joined forces with the Hong Kong police to send Hong Kong police officer He Tian undercover into the Long Zhiqiang criminal gang, capture Long Zhiqiang bravely, and rescue He Bufan. Although
has been upgraded in the cast and story, the word-of-mouth and box office did not go as expected after it was released. The word-of-mouth fell on the first day of its release. The current rating on Douban has just passed, only 6.2, at the box office. It's not ideal either. It's really far from the box office of the first "Chasing the Dragon" by Donnie Yen and Andy Lau.
The reason why "Chasing the Dragon 2" could not be recognized by the audience this time, in the final analysis, has to be in the selected cases of the film. The case of the film story itself is very exciting, but the filming was flat, there are no highlights, and it does not show the gangsters of the century. The rampant and terrifying.
This time, director Wang Jing really played a good card. The four major actors and actresses are no match for "Chasing the Dragon" starring Andy Lau and Donnie Yen. It seems that the classic movie is really not It’s suitable for a sequel, and it’s really not easy to surpass. Now "Chasing the Dragon 2" is not only crushed by the same period of "X-Men: Black Phoenix", it has also failed miserably by word of mouth, and it is a failed Hong Kong movie. Finally, it ignited hope and disappointed the audience.
