He has brought many classic works to the public, such as the Oscar-winning "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain". And he is the first Asian to win the Oscar for best director. He will use Western film language to express Chinese culture, and his works always contain reason and emotion, which also aroused public thinking. Of course, the same is true of "Gemini Killer". This is a story of redemption between a young me and an old me. An old agent was chased by a killer, and since this killer was his young self. Although the story is simple, it has been in Hollywood for a long time, and chances are that most of Hollywood is related to this project, such as Disney, Mel Gibson, Nicholas Cage, etc. In an interview with , Ang Li once said to this film: "The "Gemini Killer" reflects my state of mind. When people face their young self in middle age, recalling all the regrets and melancholy in their lives, there will be a kind of What different thoughts will there be over time, this proposition makes me very excited, it is a review of life." This is also the reason why Li Ang is attracted.
In 2017, Disney sold the copyright of "Gemini Killer", the script was transferred to Ang Lee's hands, and Will Smith also joined the starring lineup. The real test of the whole film is the technical problem. To make the same person appear at a very different age, there are only two ways of makeup and computer special effects. In addition to the action scene, the cost is even greater. In August, some reporters entered the set to observe, which made Ang Li, who already had a certain identity, still nervous. Shots, explosions, car chases and other scenes bring shocking visual experience. 's visually stunning "Gemini Killer" uses the top image specifications of 120 frames, 4K, and 3D, and its clarity and smoothness have been highly improved, coupled with the 3D stereo effect, this can be described as a VR film. This is the result of a team of hundreds of people led by Ang Lee, which took more than two years to get. It is difficult to relax until the end.
With the 3D of "The Fantastic Drifting of Youth Pie", the 120 frames of "Billy Lynn's Midfield Battle", and the advanced special effects of "Gemini Killer", Ang Lee started to march into the most advanced imaging technology. said: “I’m no longer in the world of theater. I want movies to look interesting. Now every time I make a movie, I try to stay away from drama and tell stories with vision.” and future movies really don’t It's the same. Three years ago, the world's first full set of high-standard movies with 120 frames, 4K, and 3D, "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" ended in failure, and the film costing 40 million US dollars was in vain. Later, Ang Lee mentioned that he would regret that the audience could not appreciate the uniqueness of this film. Although "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" is top-notch technology, it is not commercial enough.
Now, Ang Lee is back with his "Gemini Killer".

Li Ang believes: "We are entering a new era, but what the future is, we don't know yet." "Gemini Killer" is a commercial blockbuster supported by all parties.

In addition, Ali Pictures and Fosun's business support the release of this film. For thirty years, Ang Lee has only one "Hulk" that is a real commercial film. During the shooting, "Gemini Killer" faced difficult technical problems. The clone Junior "played" by Will Smith is actually a completely computer-generated character. The special effects of the movie refer to films such as "Jedi Men" and "Independence Day" starring Will Smith more than 20 years ago. It took more than two years to restore Mo Yang when he was young. Ang Li said: "We put the Junior made by CG in a scene of "Jedi Men" and put it together with the original film. As a result, the audience could not see the difference at all." The new technology will inevitably encounter various All kinds of problems, to a certain extent, "Gemini Killer" really brought a brand new image mode, a new set of technology, this is an epoch-making film.
