With the arrival of the summer vacation, Hong Kong films are making a comeback. Whether it is Wang Jing’s Hollywood movie "Chasing the Dragon 2" or Andy Lau’s first film after his return from injury, "Anti-drug 2", moviegoers can once again see the charm of Hong Kong films. And "Sweeping Drugs 2" did not disappoint Andy Lau. When it was released for 12 days, it had already surpassed one billion and became Andy Lau's film with a box office exceeding one billion in the true sense of the 40 years since he was in the film.

said that it’s a bad time, and Andy Lau’s movies do not lack some classics such as "The Prophet" and "The Disciple", but after gaining word of mouth but not winning the box office, now it is just as netizens find Gu Tianle as a partner. The joking sentence "Gu Tianle is very popular at the box office" really made Andy Lau "fire" again, and as this movie created its glory, Andy Lau's next movie won the word of mouth before it was shown.

​​This movie is "Bomb Disposaler 2", of course, just like "Anti-Drug 2", it borrowed the word of mouth accumulated from the first film. This "Bomb Disposalist 2" was also due to the first film's intentions. I am optimistic that it is expected to become Andy Lau's second billion-dollar film, and the first box office earned 400 million yuan in 2017. Now, after Andy Lau "fires", I believe it will not be a problem to break 1 billion.

In Hong Kong films, the last one that broke 1 billion was "Wu Shuang" [Gong], which won 1.273 billion at the box office {zhong}, and Mr. Chang Yuan from Guangzhou met at (number) "Shifang Movie Station". When I got to this movie, I followed in and took out 80,000 yuan. In the end, this movie did not disappoint, bringing 720,000 yuan to Mr. Chang. Can this "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" be like "Wushuang" and "Sweeping Drugs 2" to achieve greater glories?

Of course, some netizens questioned that the second part will use the old style cold rice that the old gen is still fried in Hong Kong movies, but the netizens who have seen the first part should know that Andy Lau's role has already received the box lunch in advance, now the second part There will still be Andy Lau starring and it will be a brand new story and plot like "Anti-Drug 2", but with similar names. In fact, there are too many Hong Kong movies with similar names and completely different plots, such as "Slaying the Wolf" and "Slaying". "Broken Wolf 2", "Broken Wolf Greedy Wolf" etc.

Similar names and different plots also have curious selling points for moviegoers. Returning to the lineup of the movie, Louis Koo is very popular at the box office. The supporting role of this collaboration, Liu Qingyun, is not bad, saying that Liu Qingyun is a classic in Hong Kong movies. It’s not an exaggeration to be an old supporting actor. He has seen his superb acting skills in the "Anti-Drug" and "Eavesdropping" series. He is also a powerful actor, especially in many films with Louis Koo. The two will soon The release of "Tomorrow's War" is also well received.

Of course, it’s not unusual for a movie to surpass 1 billion at the box office nowadays. As long as mainland movies have a plot selling point and a small meat idol as the protagonist, they have the ability to exceed 1 billion at the box office. It’s difficult. Thinking back to the fact that a Hong Kong movie that broke 1 billion is still "Wushuang" released in September 2018, we can see how “scarce” it is, but a Hong Kong movie that exceeds 1 billion is already comparable to the mainland’s billions. Movies at the box office.
