In recent years, Hong Kong films have shown obvious signs of revival.
is the birth of Hong Kong-made genre films such as "Anti-drug 2", " Detective War ", " Tomorrow's War ", " Bomb Disposal Expert 2", " Fury · Serious Cases " and so on.
not only makes the audience aware of the enduring heritage of Hong Kong films, but also makes the audience feel the long-lost Hong Kong flavor.
In 2022, with the release of Hong Kong films one after another, the "Hong Kong style" blowing up is still deeply fascinating.
It is understood that among the Hong Kong films that are expected to be released in the second half of the year, one is more hard-core than the other. In the
movie, there are not only actors familiar to the audience, but also familiar genre films, which will undoubtedly rekindle the audience's enthusiasm for Hong Kong films.
1. " Looking for Qin Ji "
Although Gu Tianle worked hard to create "Tomorrow's War", it was released more than 40 days ago and won 700 million box office, but Gu Tianle's real highlight is actually another movie - "Searching for Qin Ji" ". In 2001, after
's TV series "Looking for Qin Ji", which was adapted from the novel of the same name by Huang Yi and , was broadcast, it set off a viewing frenzy.
Even if you revisit it many years later, the story of "Looking for Qin" still stands up to scrutiny. The plot of
can not only justify itself, but also connect the unofficial history through various brain holes, and finally present a complete history.
After a lapse of more than 20 years, the original team reunited again to present a brand new story in the form of a movie.
Judging from the trailer, the background of the movie version is set in 2030, telling the story of Xiang Shaolong played by Gu Tianle, who once again travels back through time and space to the Warring States era more than 2,000 years ago, looking for Qin Shihuang . The funny thing about
is that it looks like old wine in a new bottle, but that's not the case.
However, although the movie version of "Looking for Qin" is full of memories, there are still many difficulties to overcome in order to truly satisfy the audience.
For example, the original cast is like a double-edged sword, and the age of the actors is a very tricky issue.
In general, I am still very much looking forward to this movie being released soon.
Second, "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers"
In 1989, " God of Gamblers " directed by Wang Jing not only set off a wave of gambling films, but also represented an era of Hong Kong movies.
and the success of "God of Gamblers" is that Chow Yun-fat , with his superb acting skills, has created a role that is enough to be recorded in film history - "God of Gamblers" Gao Jin
In the same type of movies, there is almost no equal to it. , has a strong subversive significance.
In contrast, don't be fooled by the title of "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers".
This story is not about gambling, but tells a warm and touching story.
The prodigal son Buffalo Hui (played by Chow Yun-fat) promises to temporarily take care of the son of his former lover Li Xi on the condition of 100,000 yuan.
Later, he found out that the child turned out to be his own son, but his son was autistic.
At the same time, ex-girlfriend Li Xi died suddenly. After
heard the news, Biao Niuhui resolutely decided to take up the responsibility of being a father and start a new life with his son.
So far, "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers" has only released a trailer without much information.
However, according to the studio staff, 's fat brother accidentally broke his head while filming. In order not to delay the acting, he went to the hospital to get stitches and came over to continue filming. The professionalism of
is worth learning from many young actors.
3. "Anti-drug 3 Days"
Chen Musheng and Qiu Litao jointly created the "Anti-drug" series, which is undoubtedly the masterpiece of Hong Kong police and gangster films.
Compared with the previous two works, "Anti-drug 3: Heaven and Earth is Big"The cast is still outstanding.
Liu Qingyun , Aaron Kwok , Gu Tianle formed the new "anti-drug" triangle, which is enough to support a movie. On this basis, the supporting cast of
is also very eye-catching: Xie Junhao , Fang Zhongxin , Luo Jialiang , Lin Xue , etc. are all familiar faces.
And in terms of plot and characters, " 3" basically has nothing to do with the first two works. The theme style of
remains unchanged, and the story mainly revolves around the life-and-death confrontation between the police and the drug lord. In addition to discussing the boundaries of good and evil,
also focuses on the struggle of human nature in difficult situations.
and the main place of this time is set in the famous " golden triangle " area where Thailand, Myanmar , Laos meet.
believes that on the basis of the previous work, "Anti-drug 3" will live up to expectations and once again show a thrilling anti-drug battle.
4. "Temporary Robbery"
About the end of last year, Er Dongsheng supervised the production, and the movie "Temporary Robbery" starring Guo Fucheng, Lin Jiadong , and Ren Xianqi was officially announced. The story of
mainly tells the story of two decadent middle-aged men, Mu Ronghui and Li Shui, who planned a robbery, but were accidentally disrupted by the gangster Mei Lantian. After deliberation, the three of
decided to "team up", but in the end they found that the huge sum of money had "disappeared". Amid the infighting, the police have also locked their locations.
fought openly and secretly, and the gun battle was about to break out. For a time, the gangsters had their own ghosts and annexed each other.
Judging from the official stills released, it is quite interesting.
In the small interior space of the car, Aaron Kwok, who was sitting in the back row, pointed a gun at Ren Xianqi in the co-pilot seat, while Lin Jiadong, who was beside him, looked at everything helplessly.
Three men in one play will undoubtedly fill the tension.
5. "The Walled City of Kowloon"
"The Walled City of Kowloon" is adapted from the popular Hong Kong manga "The Walled City of Kowloon", and the story is set in Hong Kong in the 1980s.
The hot-blooded youth Chen Luojun was chased and killed by the enemy, and accidentally escaped to the Kowloon Walled City, the place of "three noes".
In the mixed city, he not only met a group of good friends, but also gained the respect of the residents.
Later, the enemy brought a large number of troops to the village. In order to protect the local residents, Chen Luojun and the residents defended their homes with all their might.
The director of the movie version of "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is Zheng Baorui who has directed " Kill the Wolf 2" and "Wisdom Tooth". With
in charge, the movie's fight scene will definitely not be bad.
and the cast is quite luxurious, Gu Tianle, Ren Xianqi, Sammo Hung , Lin Feng , Wu Yunlong , Liu Junqian and so on.
is basically certain that "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" will be an action drama.
Six, "Broken the Net"
Aaron Kwok, Ren Dahua , Lin Jiadong, Tan Yaowen ...
This lineup is definitely a tough dish in any current Hong Kong film.
and the official is aggressive. For the movie's accompanying text: "Three heroes confront each other, and the online battle is about to break out! Crisis is looming, and the storm strikes when the network is disconnected!" tapping the keyboard.
saw that he was nervous, what happened?
It turned out that he was accidentally caught in a huge conspiracy of online financial crimes. In order to survive, he must complete the transfer of a huge amount of money in a short period of time.
However, it seems that someone doesn't want him to do this, and has been obstructing in every possible way in the dark.
is the official exhibition of a darknet showdown with disparity in strengthOpen, the contest between good and evil, who will be killed in the end?
It's undeniable that crime themes have always been a forte in Hong Kong films.
and this "Breakout" revolves around network security issues, connecting events such as virus intrusion, hacker interception, and dark web transactions to restore a real case.
Seven, " Goldfinger "
After a lapse of 20 years, after "Infernal Affairs", we can see Tony Leung and Andy Lau reunited again.
In my opinion, "Goldfinger" is undoubtedly the most anticipated Hong Kong film. The
films not only include Tony Leung and Andy Lau, but also Cai Zhuoyan , Ren Dahua, Fang Zhongxin, Jiang Haowen and other powerful Hong Kong stars.
It is understood that the total investment of "Goldfinger" is 300 million.
In the 1980s, the Hong Kong-listed company Gary Group went from rise to liquidation in a few years, and Chairman Cheng Yiyan changed from a shareholder idol to a street rat.
's tens of billions of market value evaporated, several murders, money manipulation in the upper class...
The Independent Commission Against Corruption had to investigate across borders. After fifteen years of investigation, the dark scene of that dark age was finally revealed.
It is worth mentioning that the director of this film is actually the screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs" Zhuang Wenqiang .
He has directed classic Hong Kong films such as " Eavesdropping 3", " Wushuang", etc. He is a rare director who can control both big scenes and shootout scenes at the same time.
believes that under his leadership, "Goldfinger" can replicate the brilliance of "Infernal Affairs".
Overall, the Hong Kong films in 2022 will be more exciting than the last.
In fact, in addition to the above 7 movies, there are many movies that have already been filmed, but there are no finalized dramas.
With the recovery of the film market, these Hong Kong films will be a feast for the eyes of the audience.
