It was not until Tony Leung Ka Fai and Takeshi Kaneshiro were found that the two lineups were finally finalized.
Takeshi Kaneshiro temporarily stopped filming and "disappeared" after filming "Wind Forest" . This movie is also Takeshi Kaneshiro's only film that has not been released after filming, and it is also his latest "new" film.
"Wind Forest" has been in preparation for three years. After the filming was completed in 2018, it was delayed for three years and three years. It was once announced that it would be released in December 2021, but then there was no news. To borrow the character played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai in "Infernal Affairs" Chen Yongren's classic line:
"It was obviously promised to be three years, but three years later, three years later, three years later, another three years, it is almost ten years, boss!"
"Fenglin Huoshan" has attracted everyone's attention early on. Appetite, various previous posters and stills show black and white tones, which are very artistic.
The film has always maintained a high degree of mystery, but the plot synopsis reveals the general content: a sudden explosion killed a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, triggering a struggle between drug traffickers and anti-drugs...
Director Mak Chun-lung previously In an interview with the media, he revealed that he will make "Feng Lin Huoshan" into an epic police and gangster tetralogy. dares to call himself an "epic" and will make it into a tetralogy, which shows his confidence.
As we all know, "Infernal Affairs" is only a trilogy. "Fenglinhuoshan" is going to be made into a four-part series, which is tantamount to challenging this "benchmark of Hong Kong police and gangster movies".
In addition to the strong starring cast and the ambitious goals of the film, director Mak Chun-lung, a well-known second-generation rich man in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, also has high hopes.
Mai Junlong debuted in the entertainment industry in his early years. He sang, danced and acted. He was also unruly at one time. He was also Gillian's ex-boyfriend, played fashionable cards and was Edison Chen's former rival.
Later, Mak Jun-lung, who turned into a director and made movies, began to let people see another side of him: in 2013, his first directed movie " zombie " achieved good results and reputation, and won the Hong Kong Film Awards. Multiple nominations and considered a creative crossover director.
"Fenglin Huoshan" is the second film directed by Junlong Mai. The title of the film comes from "The Art of War" , which is quite meaningful.
Mai Junlong once said that the title also represents a cold balance. He wants to subvert the conventional police and criminal films and present a more international and humane world on the big screen.
If you want to surpass the benchmark Hong Kong police film "Infernal Affairs", the production budget is indispensable. Therefore, "Wind Forest" is also a big deal -
The production cost of the film is hundreds of millions. In the film, there is a snowfall in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. In order to realize this dream For the scene, the crew specially built a 1:1 "Causeway Bay" in a steel factory in Huizhou, Guangdong.
At the same time, if the story wants to be filmed with depth, the human portrayal of the characters is also indispensable.
Regarding this, Mai Junlong said at the 2017 film conference that the core of "Fenglin Huoshan" is to portray human nature: "On the surface, it is a character, a policeman, a killer, a gangster, but the complexity is people, people It’s a complicated thing.”
At present, the identities of the protagonists’ roles have been revealed, so you can first guess the direction of the plot and the relationship between the characters.
Takeshi Kaneshiro plays the heir to a large consortium who wants to clean up his family's dark history.
Tony Leung plays the role of a psychological expert serving the police force.
Lau Ching Wan plays the role of a policeman, both good and evil; Louis Koo plays the killer and is a "non-traditional villain".
Gao Yuanyuan plays a psychiatrist and falls in love with Takeshi Kaneshiro in the film. When this movie was made, Gao Yuanyuan had not yet become a mother. Now her daughter is 5 years old, and "Feng Lin Huo" has not yet been released.
At present, Takeshi Kaneshiro's role is the most challenging. It is reported that he liked the script after reading it and decided to star in the film.
This movie, which took 6 years to be filmed, has finally been released, and people are looking forward to Takeshi Kaneshiro's performance in this "new" movie.
However, there are also worries.
Chen Luochao, the producer of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", said that the market has been looking forward to "Feng Lam Huoshan", but the biggest concern is that the actors who starred in the film all looked like 5 or 6 years ago, and they don't know the final effect. Can everyone still accept it now?
But no matter what, after waiting for three years and three years, finally waiting for "Feng Lin Huoshan" is good news in itself.
and too many people miss Takeshi Kaneshiro.
