"Stealth" mainly tells the story of the lawyer Lin Zhenan played by Andy Lau who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he uses the dark web to live broadcast drugs, killing people and using the law to get away with it. When his best brother and his favorite wife suffered changes one after another, Lin Zhenan, who was at the end of his rope, went completely crazy and wanted to make the whole world pay the price.
In a recent promotional interview, Andy Lau shared that the original setting of "Stealth" was a love drama! There is only one character, Xiu Hao (played by Lam Jiadong). Later, it was gradually adjusted to be more commercial and genre-oriented, returning to the original intention of the early Hong Kong police and gangster films - focusing more on brotherhood and character relationships. From scripting, acting, editing, and production, he is trying to make new breakthroughs in Chinese-language police and gangster films. Treat every scene with care, use images to show the dangers of drugs, and pay tribute to the "stalkers" behind them.
Peng Yuyan also revealed that Andy Lau did everything by himself on the set and could not sit still (also because of his back injury and could not sit for a long time). Andy Lau also serves as the film's producer. If he doesn't sit down, others don't dare to sit down casually. Later, Peng Yuyan learned to confirm that Andy Lau will sit down before sitting down himself.
It is worth mentioning that Andy Lau has many works released this year! On New Year's Day, two starring films competed on the same stage. Another film "Goldfinger" also performed well at the box office on its first day. During Spring Festival, "Mr. Red Carpet" with Ning Hao was also released!
