"Preach in the text." --Tang Tears"
The Hong Kong film industry is actually not big.
Going around, who took the movie emperor, who broke the record, the rise and fall of the wind review, most filmmakers are clear.
For example, when Aaron Kwok was even the Golden Horse Film Emperor, and then nominated the Golden Statue Film Emperor four times in five years, the wind comment rushed all the way, and when it came to filming "The Whole City on Guard", Zou Zhaolong heard that he was playing with him, and returned from the United States without saying a word.
For example, Zhang Jiahui won seven film emperors in a row with "Witness" in 2009, and the eyes of the entire Hong Kong film industry should be staring at him.
And Liang Chaowei has hardly produced a good film in the past decade.
Liu Qingyun has been in a row, and he has no energy in the two movies of "My Pet is an Elephant" in 2019 and "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" in 2020.
It is also clearly seen in the industry.
Lin Jiadong has successively passed on the good news, from "Tree Big Stroke", "Hand Cigarette" to "Wisdom Teeth", which has both won the film emperor and won word of mouth.
The work is the buoy of the actor, and the ups and downs are all in it.
First, let's take a look back at six Hong Kong movies that are over a billion.
In 2016, Wang Jing drummed up the unprecedented lineup of "Macau Storm 3", becoming the first Hong Kong film to break through a billion in the mainland, but the reputation fell to the bottom, and a group of actors led by Chow Yun-fat also lost their faces, including Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung, two kings.
In 2018, Zhuang Wenqiang, together with Chow Yun Fat and Aaron Kwok, set a new box office record of 1.273 billion yuan with the dual main lineup of "Peerless", which was also a word of mouth explosion, or it could be called the best of the decade.
In 2019, Qiu Litao directed "Sweeping Drugs 2", and Andy Lau and Gu Tianle doubled the protagonists, breaking the record of "Peerless" with a box office of 1.312 billion, but fell into the crisis of word-of-mouth collapse, and Zhen Zidan's "Ip Man 4" was released in the same year, as the last part of the series, it also won 1.18 billion box office.
In 2020, Qiu Litao brought Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun to the battlefield again, breaking the record with "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", with a box office of 1.314 billion.
The sixth film, "Fury Case", released this year, topped the list with 1.329 billion at the box office.
With new issues on the agenda, which will be the next record-breaking movie?
The universal film "Sweep 3" may be one of the candidate seeds.
After the collapse of the previous box office and the collapse of word of mouth, the boss Lin Xiaoming publicly expressed his hope to change the lineup, the original words were to bring freshness to the audience, he hand-picked Aaron Kwok to join and recall Liu Qingyun in the first part of the series, and then retained the first two Gu Tianle listed.
The film was completed in the previous October, with a shooting period of four months, setting a record for Qiu Litao's longest filming time.
The theme of media reports during the period has always been the series of fierce battles between Aaron Kwok and Liu Qingyun.
The two entered the group almost at the same time, and then shot until the last moment.
Nineteen years ago, the two had collaborated in the commercial film "Dangerous Lover", but they were both young and the roles were not equal.
Fourteen years ago, the two met again at the Academy Awards, Liu Qingyun won Aaron Kwok with "Father and Son" Lianzhuang Golden Horse Film Emperor Yu Wei with "Father and Son", at that moment the audience applauded thunderously, and then he said thank you brothers after winning the award, including Chengcheng Brother.
After that, Liu Qingyun continued to be the director's darling and was favored by the Golden Statue, and in 2015, he was awarded the Second Golden Statue Emperor.
Aaron Kwok said in his speech in 2016 that he thought he would get the trophy around the age of forty, and thanked some people for looking down on him at that time, saying that he still cared about the results of that year.
Time is like water, Aaron Kwok won the glory of the overall champion of film history with "Cold War 2", and surprised four with "Peerless" skills.
The combination of business and word of mouth has made him the most dazzling actor in this decade.
So there is the "Sweeping Poison 3" Huanyu boss hand-picked airborne landing.
After liu qingyun's two golden portraits, he made a "Dangerous City", and the mainland box office was less than 200 million.
In 2019, he cooperated with Zhang Jiahui in "Integrity Storm" to enter the mainland Spring Festival file, and the result was a dismal end of 124 million at the box office.
In the same year, the film "My Pet is an Elephant" cooperated with the mainland team not only grossed 2.56 million at the box office, but also lost the charm of the actors.
Then to the "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" released at the end of 2020, Liu Qingyun has no energy in it and has become a supporting role.
This state is simply a straight drop.
And Liu Qingyun himself does not belong to the idol faction, and there is no problem in not being able to support the box office.
But if no one praises his acting skills, then the problem is big.
Therefore, this time "Sweeping Drugs 3", from the situation of media exposure, Liu Qingyun's drug lord dress although the makeup is old, but the state is very good, the literary drama and martial arts drama are continuous, and it seems to be quite enjoyable.
He began to enter the film circle in the 1980s, and he did not have a bumpy road along the way, and after becoming Du Qifeng's love general, he was even more successful and recognized as an acting school.
But as mentioned earlier, the acting school is not afraid of no box office, afraid of being considered unable to support the role.
If the acting skills are not affirmed, it is almost possible to declare the end of the acting career.
And there is no doubt that Liu Qingyun of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" has not played a real strength, although he has always had the disadvantage of lack of explosive power, but he will not be reduced to a supporting role without vitality.
As mentioned at the beginning, the Hong Kong film industry is actually very small, just like the neighbors on a street, and everyone knows that there is something that moves.
Therefore, Liu Qingyun will not be willing to fall, and will definitely rebound bravely.
Just by virtue of this "Sweeping Drugs 3".
Aaron Kwok's route was the opposite of his.
After the first Golden Film Emperor in 2016, "Cold War 2" rushed to 678 million at the mainland box office, and won the box office champion in Hong Kong film history.
When a personal concert was held that year, the boss of Anle led ten big coffee directors to record a congratulatory video for him, and the limelight was overwhelming.
In 2018, a "Peerless" made him soar to the sky, not only winning the box office, but also winning word of mouth.
During the period, although there were three films "Before Dawn", "Breaking the Game" and "Secret War" at the box office, the acting performance was also quite outstanding, which is the excellent state of an actor, speaking with the work, either taking the box office or having a reputation.
In particular, the two works of "Breaking the Game" and "Peerless", their acting skills have a kind of shell breaking, pulling up and stable fission performance.
The subsequent "Mai Lu Ren" and "Secret Visitor" can see the stability of the peak state.
In other words, as long as there is a good script and a good director, he is bound to shine brightly.
During the filming of "Sweeping Drugs 3," he said he was pursuing a new film role.
This is another progressive change in the state of mind.
In fact, compared to other actors, it may be easier to see more clearly.
For example, Andy Lau, who has always had commercial obstacles, he is a producer, takes film remuneration to invest, participates in mainland blockbusters, if compared with Aaron Kwok, he is actually not a pure actor. Another example is Gu Tianle, who is almost trapped in endless films of the same type, has no choice for scripts, and has played many amazingly homogeneous roles.
As one of the most successful idol actors in the transformation, Aaron Kwok has no hidden worries about idols and strengths, because his commercial box office is outstanding, and his niche literary reputation is still strong.
And in the commercial production of "Sweeping Drugs 3", he went to pursue new roles, indicating that he is advancing again.
This state of affairs is highly likely to bring surprises.
Because he was detached from things, he entered a state of creation.
Director Zhuang Wenqiang said that he wanted to write a script to explore the "sad" side of him, director Qiu Litao has agreed with him on the next cooperation, and director Weng Ziguang and his epic style drama "When the Wind Rises Again" are to be screened.
And he has invested in the unlocking of the black humor drama road.
The movie "Sweeping Drugs 3" has released the wind and is scheduled for the summer of 2022.
Drum up the courage to rebound, and advance again.
It's all an actor's firework.
Will bloom with the movie.
