The 2024 New Year’s Eve movies are like gods fighting each other with their own unique moves. "Twinkle Twinkle Star" is launched in the snow field, and "The Annual Party Can't Stop" counts down to the New Year on the plane.
"Goldfinger" focuses on the reunion of old friends and the showdown between movie stars, which fully ignited the enthusiasm of movie fans for watching movies.
does not have any fancy promotion methods, and its box office is not outstanding. However, the star-studded "Goldfinger" still made a debut in a unique way on New Year's Day.
Directed by Zhuang Wenqiang, starring Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Charlene Choi, Simon Yam, Fong Zhongxin, Chow Jiayi, Jiang Haowen, Chen Jiale, Qian Jiale and others.
This cast alone is enough to kill other movies, especially the duel between Tony Leung and Andy Lau, which is even more exciting. The
movie tells the story of a duel between two heroes that spanned fifteen years, thereby lifting the dark veil of Hong Kong's golden age.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau's extreme tension in the movie is very interesting. This is also the second collaboration between the two after 20 years after "Infernal Affairs". The skilled standard configuration of the
Hong Kong team ensures that the film's scenes are hot, the rhythm is tight, and the twists and turns are sudden.
Cheng Yiyan, played by Tony Leung, is an extraordinary figure, and the public's description of him is full of legend.
Some people say that he made his fortune because he met the powerful people in Southeast Asia. Some people say that he participated in the battle of the Golden Triangle, and some people say that he helped the mafia.
Liu Qiyuan, the senior investigation director played by Andy Lau, is an upright policeman who has been conducting persistent evidence collection and cross-border investigations on Cheng Yiyan for fifteen years.
In order to send Cheng Yiyan to prison, the legal fees alone exceeded 200 million, but it still could not stop Liu Qiyuan's journey for justice.
The story involves several lives and affects the entire upper class society in Hong Kong. There is a game within the game and a case within the case. Cheng Yiyan looks like a golden finger, but in fact he has white gloves.
In the 1980s, the little-known Cheng Yiyan made 10 billion with 100 yuan of white gloves.
The listed company Jiawen Group has developed from obscurity to prosperity in just a few years, with companies all over the world.
Cheng Yiyan did anything to subvert the rules and play with wealth and power in his hands, and therefore became a much-anticipated idol among investors. In the end, the company of
declined and was liquidated. With the exception of Cheng Yiyan, almost all the characters in the film were wiped out, and he became a street rat that everyone yelled at.
"Goldfinger" gives the audience a glimpse into the jaw-dropping and arrogant life of the upper class, and this absurd and arrogant story is actually true.
The movie "Goldfinger" is adapted from the "Jia Ning Murder Case" in the 1980s, which was listed as one of the "Top Ten Mysterious Cases in Hong Kong".
Cheng Yiyan's prototype is Hong Kong real estate tycoon Chen Songqing. His influence is so influential that Li Ka-shing, the rich man at that time, could not match it.
spent one billion to buy a building in 1980. It seems like a fantasy, but in fact it is Chen Songqing's real deeds.
Director Zhuang Wenqiang has worked hard on image processing. The scene scheduling is no less than that of a Hollywood blockbuster, and the light, shadow and tone of the portraits are also quite Wong Kar-Wai's style.
In addition to the exciting story content, the most surprising thing is the acting showdown between Tony Leung and Andy Lau.
In the film, Cheng Yiyan, played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai, is generous and arrogant, and his every move vividly presents human nature, minor emotions and inner fluctuations in the tide of the great era.
Whether it is the ambition, greed, and arrogance when he is proud, or the illusion, confusion, and loss when he is down and out, Tony Leung has brought all kinds of emotions to the extreme.
brings Cheng Yiyan's legendary resume to life very well. Watching Tony Leung acting is a visual pleasure.
The emotional scene between Tony Leung and Asa in the film was also very exciting. Even Carina Lau was fascinated by it and said frankly that Tony Leung's kissing scene could be more affectionate.
Zhang Jiawen, played by Asa, shows up for Cheng Yiyan and wholeheartedly helps him counterattack in life.
They had an intimate scene. Zhang Jiawen offered a kiss, but although Cheng Yiyan did not refuse, he put his hands in his pockets while kissing.
In fact, Cheng Yiyan had a wife and children, and his extramarital affair made him a little disappointed. The reason he didn't refuse was not because he liked it, but because his wife was also named Jiawen, Wanwan Leiqing.
In the end, Zhang Jiawen could not escape the fate of abandoning his son, and the boat was destroyed while escaping at sea.
Government and businessmen colluded, and they killed four people but were only sentenced to three years. Cheng Yiyan's ending was unsatisfactory, but this is the reality.
Human nature is complex. In the extravagant game of money and power, there is no fairness and truth. All enjoyment is illusory.
The meaning of life is not only the accumulation of wealth, but the pursuit of true value and meaning is the most important, which is also the core of the movie.
