"Kowloon Walled City Walled City" started in Hong Kong today, the film directed by Zheng Baorui, is a pure Hong Kong film, around the Kowloon Walled City of a battle, in which Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a bit of Chow Sing Chi's "Kung Fu" hidden in the taste of various masters.
The film has a luxurious lineup, starring Gu Tianle, Hong Jinbao, Ren Xianqi, Lin Feng, plus Actors such as Liu Junqian, Huang Debin, Hu Zitong, Zhang Wenjie, Wu Yunlong, etc., which is a hot-blooded action film.
"Labor model" Gu Zai is online again, compared with Liu Thirteen, Zheng Jiu Group, and Zhang Yida in the glorious period of the 1980s and 90s, it is not weak at all, and today I take stock of how many movies Gu Zai still have waiting to be released.
01. Two finalized films: "Assassination Storm" and "Anti-Corruption Storm 5"
"Assassination Storm" has been backlogged for a long time, and finally set for December 10, directed by Qiu Litao, is a crime suspense film, Zhang Zhilin, Gu Tianle and Wu Zhenyu three people enter the game together, constantly searching for the truth.
In addition, Ren Dahua, Lu Liangwei, "Big Brother Cheng" Li Zixiong, Wu Yijiang, Chen Guokun, Jiang Haowen, "Ghost Queen" Roland, Luo Guanlan, She Shiman, Huang Debin and other people joined, at a glance all of them are familiar faces, dreaming back to the old Hong Kong films, hoping that the suspense elements will be a little more, not to make a police film of different kinds.
The "Anti-Corruption Storm" series can shoot the fifth part, one is higher than the other, which is a miracle in itself, but this series is decent and does not have many highlights.
Perhaps knowing that the audience is aesthetically tired, "Anti-Corruption Storm 5" released on December 31 will be the final chapter. But this can not be fully believed, if the box office sells well, maybe it will be another out of it, this matter producer Huang Baiming can do.
02. Difficult birth professional households: "Wind Forest Volcano" and "Tomorrow's War"
After waiting for three years and three years, there is still no news of finalization, "Wind Forest Volcano" has a unique style, and it has won the most anticipated Chinese film in the Douban Film Annual List for several consecutive years, which is worth continuing to look forward to.
Director Mai Junlong's 2013 shooting of "Zombie" has both the taste of Lin Zhengying's zombie films in the past, as well as the elements of American and Japanese horror films, and Qian Xiaohao failed to carry the banner of zombie films, and Mai Junlong did it.
"Wind Forest Volcano" He is innovating again, and wants to make a different police film, maybe it is another "Infernal Affairs", which can be called the second generation of directors with rich conscience in the industry.
As for "Tomorrow's War" is not going the usual way, the glory period of Hong Kong films, do not touch the science fiction theme, I admire the courage of Gu Zai, dare to be a crab eater, no matter the quality, the release will definitely support.
03. To be finalized: "In Search of Qin", "The New Heavenly Dragon Slayer"
"In Search of Qin" had made a fuss before, and at one point it was rumored that it was set for November 18, which turned out to be false news.
The TV series "In Search of Qin" is Gu Zai's last TV series work, which is of great significance to him, and 20 years later, he called on the original team to create a film version.
Time has passed, Xiang Shaolong, Yin Zheng, Wu Tingfang, Qin Qing, Shanrou and others may be old, but that good memory will always be there, I feel this sincerity of Gu Zai, the only regret may be the absence of "Yan Yi" Jiang Hua.
"In Search of Qin" uses the original class of people, while Wang Jing's "New Heavenly Dragon Slaughter" uses a new lineup, both of which take the nostalgic route.
At that time, Zhao Min said "To save the Six Gate Sect, come to most of them to find me", the fans waited for 28 years, and did not wait for the next episode.
Wang Jing's "New Heavenly Dragon Slayer" is not the next episode, but a remake, after all, Jet Li, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Zi and others have long faded out of the show business circle, and it is not easy to invite them.
In the new version of the cast, several protagonists are difficult to be recognized, Lin Feng's Zhang Wuji is too old, Wen Yongshan is cold and charming, but her agility is insufficient, and Qiu Yinong's Zhou Zhiruo and Yun Qianqian's Xiaozhao are difficult to say.
Wang Jing is also very clever, using old actors to make up for the deficiencies, such as Zhen Zidan playing Zhang Sanfeng, Gu Tianle playing Zhang Cuishan, as well as Fang Zhongxin, Xu Jinjiang, Luo Yingjun, Guo Zhenghong, Liang Cheng, and others, the most important thing is to invite Tian Qiwen to play one of the "Huashan Second Guys" again.
It is recommended that when you come to see the "Quest for Qin" and the "New Heavenly Dragon Slayer" in the future, you must lower your expectations, otherwise you may be disappointed.
04. "Sweeping Poison 3" and "The Keeper"
The "Sweeping Drugs" series has changed directors and actors, but Gu Zai has always insisted, director Chen Musheng has gone, director Qiu Litao continues to direct the third part, Andy Lau withdraws, Liu Qingyun returns, Aaron Kwok joins, and Gu Zai forms a new iron triangle to continue the anti-drug action.
In addition to the film emperor Xie Junhao, the emperor Luo Jialiang, as well as Fang Zhongxin, Chen Guobang, Lin Xue, Yuan Fuhua and other familiar faces, as for the heroine, Yang Caiyu is the role, to a large extent, can not escape the vase.
"Sweeping Drugs" series, the most brilliant character is the "slag slag Hui" in the first part, the golden sentence of dedication is still popular on the Internet, although he did not play "Sweeping Drugs 3", but in "The Keeper of the Gap" will cooperate with Gu Zai.
The film is written and directed by Tang Weihan, there is no innovation in the theme, it is still a police bandit, action theme, but this movie has not been news for a long time, or watch Gu Zai and "slag slag Hui" play games together.
05. Cooperate with Lin Jiadong: "Beyond evil deeds", "Egg Boy", "Extinction"
Lin Jiadong is now also the pillar of Hong Kong films, "Wisdom Teeth" and "Hand Cigarette" performed well, and was scheduled to be nominated for best actor at next year's Academy Awards in advance.
"Beyond the Evil Deeds" thriller crime film, directed by Guo Wenqi, Gu Zai and Lin Jiadong are rivals this time, one for the revenge of the daughter, one for the son to resist, the two male duels, full of points to watch.
"Egg Boy" has been in this project for a few years, directed by Luo Yaohui, Gu Zai and Lin Jiadong should play a pair of brothers, telling the relationship between them and their father. As for the role of the father, it was not revealed, and I personally felt that Qin Pei was more suitable.
"Extinction" was held at the Hong Kong International Film and Television Festival a few years ago, but there has been no news, of which Lin Jiadong is not only the supervising producer of the film, but also one of the screenwriters, and Gu Zai is also a friend and foe in the film.
06, "A Glimmer of Life" and "Chasing Dragons 3"
"A Glimmer of Life" was originally a project directed by Chen Musheng, but unfortunately he was gone.
Now this project is taken over by three directors Li Zhaojun, Liu Yongtai and Shi Bolin, and on the 17th of this month, the biggest attraction is that Gu Zai and Xuan Xuan, the screen couple, will cooperate again.
It is said that the film is remade from the Hollywood movie of the same name "A Glimmer of Life", and Jiang Haowen, Li Longji, Zhang Jicong and others have joined, which is worth looking forward to.
"Chasing the Dragon 3" has been set up before, Wang Jing intends to invite Zhen Zidan and Gu Tianle to star, the story background will be moved to Chinatown, and Andy Lau has the hope of a cameo appearance.
Wang Jing has helped Hua Tsai, as long as he opens his mouth, it is estimated that Hua Tsai will not refuse, before "Macau Storm 3" and "Ace Of Ace" have been proved.
In addition to the above introduction, Gu Zai also has many projects, such as "Fengyun 3" with Ma Rongcheng, "Escape from Heaven 2" with Liu Qingyun, "Kill out of the Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Ye Weixin, the fantasy comedy film "Assassination of Wong Tai Sin" and the "Siege War" with Lu Jianqing.
Coupled with the "Kowloon Walled City Walled City" launched today, Gu Zai has 19 movies in the future, which is worthy of being a "labor model". Although Gu Zai has taken over a large number of films, one is for charity and the other is for Hong Kong movies, he also hopes that Gu Zai will pay more attention to his workload and always support Gu Zai.
