Jacky Cheung's new action film, "Customs Front" finally has a new move!
Qiu Litao (director of the "Bomb Disposal Expert" series) directed and cooperated by Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse for the first time in the action movie "Customs Front" released a character poster for the first time: one is Jacky Cheung wearing a customs uniform and holding a gun, and the other is Tse Ting-feng, who is soaked in the water in a submarine, both of which are handsome.
This film is Jacky Cheung's return to the big screen after 6 years, and it is also the second cooperation between Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse in 12 years after the 2010 film "Love in the City", with a high degree of attention, and the film official announced that it will be released in 2023.
Although Jacky Cheung is over 60 years old and Nicholas Tse is 41 years old, the two are in excellent condition and do not look old.
In the pilot poster of "Customs Front", Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse hide on the side of the giant ship with weapons in hand, and the sea in the distance is full of fire, a fierce battle is about to be staged, the tension is full, and the danger of the good and evil war in the movie can be felt across the screen.
Focusing on customs themes, "Customs Front" tells the story of Chow Cheng-lyn (Tse Ting-fung), a customs investigator in Hong Kong, China, and his mentor-in-law, Zhang Yunnan (Jacky Cheung), who is jointly investigating an arms smuggling case, when they encounter violent attacks by overseas forces. In addition to Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse, the main actors also include Wu Zhenyu, Lin Jiaxin, Liu Yaser, Guan Zhibin, Huang Jinshen, Wei Shiya and others.
It is worth noting that although the "kung fu film successor" that Jackie Chan has shouted for many years has not yet appeared, the successor of "Chinese action guidance" seems to have appeared first.
In addition to being the leading actor of "Customs Front", Nicholas Tse also has an important identity: action director.
As we all know, this identity is an important position in Chinese action films, and many famous Chinese film action directors are big coffee-level characters, including Yuan Heping, Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Zhen Zidan, Qian Jiale, etc.
Unlike the previously mentioned heavyweight predecessors, all of whom were born in martial arts, Nicholas Tse is a famous star of the second generation, who has been exposed to the public's eyes since childhood, and when he was young, he took the route of singing idols, it can be said that the young Nicholas Tse basically lived in the entertainment gossip news.
Therefore, Nicholas Tse, who is over 40 years old, is now serving as an "action director" for the first time in action movies, which clearly highlights his new ambitions in the field of film - not only to break through in acting, but also to make achievements in action scenes.
Chinese kung fu movies and action movies have shown a slightly weak state in recent years, mainly because the predecessors are old, but no descendants have yet carried the banner.
Not long ago, 58-year-old Zhen Zidan and 58-year-old Jackie Chan, the new film both have the movement of new films, the former is "Tianlong Eight Parts of Qiao Feng Biography", Zhen Zidan plays Qiao Feng, the latter is "Dragon Horse Spirit", Jackie Chan plays the down-and-out Dragon Tiger Martial Master Lao Luo.
Although the news of these two new films makes everyone very excited, it is really a bit sad to see that they are already "elderly" and are still supporting the façade of Chinese kung fu movies and action movies.
Therefore, to see new forces joining the field of "action guidance" is still somewhat expected.
Some people may not be optimistic about Nicholas Tse, but look at Tse Tingfeng's "Customs Front" for the first time as an action director, spelling until the hand bone deformation, you know that he is real.
In May this year, Nicholas Tse, who was filming "Customs Front" at the time, posted a photo of his hands on social platforms, black and rough, with green tendons bursting out, and his hands were full of calluses and scars.
Although there is no text, you can see that his hands in the photo are not only dry skin, injured and scarred, but also severely deformed, and the joint joints are obviously prominent. At that time, many netizens left messages for Xie Tingfeng, and even some of them hurt him.
This time the "Customs Front" released a poster, Tse Tingfeng also rarely spoke for the film, with his own role "Zhou Zhengli" tone to talk about the behind-the-scenes and feelings of filming.
"It's been a long time since I made a movie that it feels so pure, purely for creation, purely for film. Action movies have a little scar that can't be avoided, but it's safe to get through. Thanks to all the staff in front of and behind the scenes. Hope a sequel to see you. Customs Front Zhou Zhengli over"
Obviously, Nicholas Tse is very confident in this movie, although the film will not be released until next year, but he has confidently said "I hope the sequel will see", it seems that director Qiu Litao will have a new series after "Bomb Disposal Expert".
In fact, Nicholas Tse has been working very hard in action scenes, and in the early years, he revealed that his hands could not be bent naturally when he was on the show, because when filming a certain fight scene, his hands were dislocated and fractured.
But because he was about to go on stage to perform, he did not go to the hospital at the first time, and Xie Tingfeng just put his hand on the table and flattened it, and hid his hand behind him to go to the stage. As a result, Nicholas Tse's hand left sequelae.
Probably many people do not know, Nicholas Tse made the first film when he hung up the color: there was a group fight scene, he was stabbed in the foot by the fence during the filming, the blood was direct, did not want to affect the shooting progress, he insisted on completing the shooting, completely disregarding whether the wound would be infected.
I believe many people remember a famous action movie: "New Police Story" released in 2004.
This film directed by Chen Musheng and starring Jackie Chan, Wu Yanzu, Xie Tingfeng and others had a shocking scene in that year: Jackie Chan and Xie Tingfeng wanted to stage a "desperate" scene on the exhibition façade, especially Xie Tingfeng, who was hanging in the air on the exhibition exterior wall!
At that time, for the sake of realistic effect, Nicholas Tse, a newborn calf in his early twenties, chose to shoot this high-risk action scene himself: he was hoisted upside down from the roof on the 28th floor with three steel cables to the ground, however, in another scene hanging in the air on the outer wall of the exhibition, he was accidentally strangled by a rope, and this scene was also recorded in the film.
At that time, the scene was very thrilling, Xie Tingfeng was rushed to the hospital, and then he recalled that he almost died on the spot, if it were not for Jackie Chan's big brother, he did not know what would happen.
It is no wonder that the Hong Kong media once wrote: "There are only two actors in Hong Kong who cannot buy insurance: one is Jackie Chan, and the other is Nicholas Tse." ”
It was also in the "New Police Story" so desperately, Xie Tingfeng left a very deep impression on Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan highly praised him as "the most outstanding among the younger generations", saying the sentence "He is the next Jackie Chan, no one is crazyr than Tse Ting Feng!" The younger generation is also the most outstanding! "It's really felt.
As a result, I didn't expect to be really hit by Jackie Chan's words, and more than ten years later, Xie Tingfeng, who was middle-aged, really became an "action guide".
Over the years, Nicholas Tse has made various types of action movies -
Including "Dragon and Tiger Gate" directed by Ye Weixin in 2006 and starring Zhen Zidan Yu Wenle and him, and "The True Colors of Boys" directed by Chen Musheng in 2007,
In 2008, Lin Chaoxian directed and starred in "Witness" starring him and Zhang Jiahui, in 2010, the three of them cooperated again in "Informant", in 2012, Lin Chaoxian directed and Jay Chou and starred in "Reverse War"...
And last year, he and Zhen Zidan starred, Chen Musheng directed the "Anger , Serious Case", etc., Xie Tingfeng did not less "toss" in the action.
Including the self-discipline of the usual fitness, and even many difficult actions, Nicholas Tse can come. Therefore, Xie Tingfeng, who has fought all the way over the years, is experienced and confident as an action director for the first time this time.
It is reported that in the "Customs Front" for the first time as an action director, Nicholas Tse designed a lot of wonderful action scenes for the film, and he desperately filmed until his hands were swollen and deformed.
This time, Nicholas Tse also tailored the action scene for Jacky Cheung, and Jacky Cheung also trusted Tse Tingfeng very much, saying that "I know that Tingfeng does the action design with confidence, in short, rest assured to hand it over to Tingfeng."
Over the years, whether it is doing business or being a chef, Nicholas Tse has silently shown his talent, so his first time as a film action director is still a little bit of expectation.
Jackie Chan should not have thought that after half a day, the new successor of action guidance in this area will be Nicholas Tse.
