At the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival in 2019, director Weng Ziguang revealed at the event that the crime biographical blockbuster "When the Wind Rise" starring Tony Leung and Aaron Kwok will be locked in the second half of 2019, but the specific schedule has not been determined.
directed by Weng Ziguang and co-starred by Tony Leung, Aaron Kwok, Du Juan, Tan Yaowen, Zhou Wenjian, Xu Guanwen, etc., is a biographical film "When the Wind Resurrects", which is another hero movie. [Liang Chaowei, Aaron Kwok, Tan Yaowen, Zhou Wenjian, respectively play the four major detectives Lan Gang, Lu Le, Yan Xiong, Han Sen. ] The title of the movie
uses Leslie Cheung’s classic song "When the Wind Is Back". Director Weng Ziguang explained that the four words in fancy implied the passing of an era with the wind, but also the advent of a new trend, which not only emphasizes the change of era, but is more poetic.
"When the Wind Resurrects" tells the story of the four major Chinese detectives Lan Gang, Lu Le, Yan Xiong, and Han Sen who once dominated the Hong Kong police scene. In the materialistic society of the 1960s, they were both black and white. After many ups and downs, in the end, because of the opening of the new chapter of Hong Kong's anti-corruption commission, the historical legend has been retired one after another.
In 2017, Wang Jing's rare word-of-mouth and box office "Chasing the Dragon" tells the story of that era. However, the focus of "Chasing the Dragon" is to tell the story between Lei Luo (Lu Le) and the lame Hao; while this "When the Wind Rise" is the story of the four major Chinese detectives, Lei Luo is still the protagonist.
ended up in "Chasing the Dragon 2" in 2019. The actors and themes were changed, and the story of the Asian thief king Zhang Ziqiang was told. As a result, the current box office market is a bit bleak. Therefore, it is quite anxious whether this "When the Wind Rise", which is re-fried with cold rice, will hit the street.
However, the biggest selling point of "When the Wind Is Back" is the first collaboration between the two big double actor Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung. The five-time Golden Image Awards actor Tony Leung plays Lan Gang. He is the male number one in this movie. [For this reason, Tony Leung has practiced piano for 3 months. I don't know how this helps the plot, but I admire his professional attitude. 】
Aaron Kwok has been in an excellent period of ascent in recent years. He is the second Golden Horse Award winner after Jackie Chan; he won the Golden Horse Award winner in 2016, and the director of the award-winning work "Treading the Blood and Looking for the Plum" is "The Wind Rise" "Time" director Weng Ziguang. In recent years, Aaron Kwok starred in the "Chill" series and "Wu Shuang", both box office and word of mouth are very good, known as the light of Hong Kong movies. Aaron Kwok at this time is definitely worth looking forward to!
However, Tony Leung, who has the 5th Golden Horse Awards and the 1st Cannes winner, is not so reassuring.
Tony Leung, who has won the most actor honors, can be called the actor of the Hong Kong film actor, but the last time he nominated for the Golden Horse Award winner was 5 years ago, and the last time he won the Golden Horse Award winner was 12 years ago.
In the past few years, Tony Leung starred in "The Ferryman", "Monster Hunt 2" and "European Raiders", regardless of box office and word of mouth, I am sorry for the title of the movie king. After success and fame, Tony Leung who enjoys his life, the production and quality of the film both decline.
At this time, such a "When the Wind Is Back" is definitely an excellent opportunity for Tony Leung to justify his acting skills. The theme story of "When the Wind Is Rising Again" is worth watching. Among the opponents are Kwok Fucheng, Tan Yaowen and other powerful factions, and there is even Xu Guanwen, the first actor of the Academy Awards. The so-called
"will not forget, there must be an echo." Such a lineup will not sound, the myth of Tony Leung's actor will really be shattered!
I hope that a pure Hong Kong movie like "When the Wind Rise" will, as its name suggests, bring a new atmosphere to Hong Kong movies
