Liu Qingyun, a Hong Kong film emperor who has not worked for a year due to the epidemic, was recently interviewed when promoting the new movie "Detective Wars", and when asked about his experience under the epidemic, he revealed that since he married his wife Guo Aiming, he has never been at home for as long as this time, and on the basis of better understanding of each other, he directly called himself "married a good wife".
Exemplary couple
Guo Aiming and Liu Qingyun are definitely considered to be "model couples" in the entertainment industry. The fairytale love between the two was once known as the most enviable "fairy lover" in the entertainment industry.
In 1967, Guo Aiming was born in Hong Kong, 3 years younger than Liu Qingyun. In 1991, Guo Aiming ran for the Hong Kong Sisters and won the championship. Guo Aiming, who has a high degree of education, is also known as the "highest educated Hong Kong sister", and for a time the scenery is unlimited and the crowd is oppressive. Her fame soared, and she chose to enter the entertainment industry, and At that time, Liu Qingyun's career had just improved.
Subsequently, Liu Qingyun cooperated with Guo Aiming in the film of the first male lead. The two became lovers by mistake, and they were not optimistic about their love affair, so many people joked that Liu Qingyun was not worthy of Guo Aiming, saying that his "toad wants to eat swan meat." The two people looked very open to the doubts and pressures of the outside world, and they didn't care.
In the face of tumultuous worldly prejudices, the two worked together for 7 years of love and long-distance running, and finally became a family. Married for 22 years, they have been low-key in love and have become a well-known "model couple" in the entertainment industry. In addition to filming, Liu Qingyun almost never goes out to socialize, and is a "gossip insulator". They often go out together to buy groceries, eat at small restaurants, dress modestly for shopping tours.... As long as there is a figure when they are together, it will immediately make people believe in love again.
Cherish the people around you even more
When asked about his feelings during the epidemic, Liu Qingyun said: During this period, because of the epidemic, there was no job for a year, and I had never tried to spend so much time at home with Guo Aiming since I got married, so I was more aware of what kind of person I married, and now I understand what a good wife I have taken.
The new crown epidemic has affected the whole world, Qingyun does not deny that it has affected his own views on things, the so-called more cherished the people around him, but also more understanding of his family: "Before there was no job but the company meeting he will go, now just stay at home, honestly, married for many years, I have never been with my wife for a long time."
Liu Qingyun said that the epidemic has given him "more time to self-examine and know himself", and shared the changes of his long-term stay at home: "Before, I would not know where to put things at home, but now all the cups and dishes, kitchen utensils, vacuum cleaners, etc., know how to use." I didn't go to the bank, call my parents, etc. before, but I did it all over again this year, which is real life."
The new movie is worth looking forward to
Liu Qingyun has a lot of action scenes in Wei Jiahui's new work "Detective Wars", jumping into the sea, jumping the nullah and jumping off the building, which can be said to be a rare Liu Qingyun in the past.
Wei Jiahui said that there are many action scenes in the new work, Liu Qingyun suffered a lot, but Liu Qingyun said that he was physically inferior to mental hardship: "The character is mentally ill, emotionally complex, I have a model to wear 5 or 6 shirts, after falling into the water, it becomes very heavy, so immersed in the water is the most tired, another scene of jumping into the river in heavy rain, in fact, it is filmed in a real rapid in the mainland, although it is not deep water, but the water is so fast that there is no way to stand, at that time I want to hang Weiya, otherwise I will really be washed away. For Liu Qingyun to suffer in the play, Wei Jiahui laughed and pointed out that he would not be too cheap, because Qingyun is an actor who knows a little bit, he has the ability to do it, and he will improvise, which is surprising, so he really likes to cooperate with Qingyun.
Wei Jiahui and Liu Qingyun cooperated seamlessly, following the "Regeneration" and then cooperated with the emperor film "Detective Wars", Wei Jiahui personally understood, the new work has nothing to do with the previous "Detective" co-directed with Du Qifeng, the "Detective" in the new story, representing a group of people in Hong Kong society, did some illegal acts, and then with the code name of a group of people who lynched the crime, and Qingyun is the police "Detective", who fell on the street due to mental illness, but because the "Detectives" challenged the police team with lynching, and re-emerged, thus triggering a "Detective War".
Released by Emperor Pictures, "Detective Wars" was originally scheduled to be released on the mainland on April 2. However, due to the epidemic situation, "Detective Wars" was finally released on July 8, 2022, and opened for advanced screening from July 2 to 3. Hong Kong released a trailer on 22 June 2022 and announced that it will be released on 21 July 2022.
Some movie reviews (from Douban Film Review)
01 Watching Hong Kong movies, I always have imaginations. You will always catch a glimpse of the director's secrets in the gaps between narratives or between emotional surges. Although sometimes it is not clear whether it is the director's subconscious or just your personal imagination. But either way, it doesn't matter. After all, film is an accepting aesthetic.
02 Wei Jiahui, and most of the creators of the galaxy, have the same trait. Their desire to express themselves always greatly overshadows the desire to tell stories.
03 What it actually presents to us is a world in which people no longer believe in righteousness. It will be a world of complete surrender to violence. Because the police, a legal monopoly of violence, can no longer protect the safety of ordinary people, they have to take up guns, protect themselves, and punish the sinners themselves.
Movie Box Office (Source Cat's Eye Movies)
According to The Cat's Eye Movie, "Detective Wars" was released for 9 days, and as of today, the cumulative box office is 308 million.
Among them, the first day box office was 35.35 million, and the final forecast box office was 686 million.
I don't know when, with the rise of mainland movies, the decline of Hong Kong films seems to become unstoppable. Some people say that the pain of Hong Kong movies lies in the fact that there is no successor. The Hong Kong actors who are now active in front of our eyes are almost the same people as before, and there are too few young Hong Kong actors or directors who can make mainland audiences call out.
Conclusion: Is there still hope for Hong Kong films? I don't know, but it is enough to see that the older generation of Actors in Hong Kong are still working hard, liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, etc. are still loved by the audience.
