Speaking of the gold medal director in the history of Hong Kong cinema, Wang Jing, who has directed "Deer Ding" and "God of Gamblers", is definitely an unavoidable topic, especially now that many audiences often walk into the cinema with a complex emotion of love and hate to support his new work.
The reason for this situation is that in addition to being attracted by his ultra-luxurious actor Cass, the dedication of struggling to support Hong Kong films has touched countless Hong Kong film lovers.
However, director Wang Jing does not receive criticism in every movie, no, the upcoming "Chasing Dragon 3: Chinatown" is a high-quality blockbuster that will definitely catch fire!
Although in the box office battle of this year's May 1st show, Wang Jing's "Chasing the Tiger and Catching the Dragon" lost to the spy drama "On the Cliff", but this crime movie where the "five movie emperors" gathered together let us see the real strength of director Wang Jing.
And compared with the regrettable defeat of "Chasing the Tiger and Catching the Dragon", the "Chasing the Dragon 3: Chinatown" revealed by Wang Jing in an interview can be described as prepared.
Since it is an introduction to "Chasing the Dragon 3: Chinatown", it is natural to talk about the first two works of the "Chasing the Dragon" series.
Judging from the story content exposed by the new film, this crime action film directed by Wang Jing and personally written by Wang Jing mainly tells a story that takes place in New York's Chinatown.
In 1963, in New York's Chinatown, the Chinese Federation refused to cooperate with Italian gangsters to smuggle drugs, resulting in the president's son-in-law Chen Shaotang being designed to be imprisoned, and seven years later, Chen Shaotang, who returned, found that at this time, Chinatown and Italians had already intertwined interests and colluded with each other.
At the same time, the Fuzhou gang that came out of nowhere also took the opportunity to clean up the two major gangs, and the boss behind the curtain was Chen Shaotang, who had just returned...
Judging from the above story content, "Chasing the Dragon 3: Chinatown" not only continues the story line and plot framework of "Chasing the Dragon" in the outline, highlights the national righteousness and patriotic feelings of the complex characters, but also overlaps with the first two works of the "Chasing the Dragon" series in the cast of the cast, and it is no wonder that netizens have such high expectations for "Chasing the Dragon 3: Chinatown"!
In addition to the thrilling plot mentioned above, the Castbandi of "Chasing Dragons 3: Chinatown" also continues the "luxurious" style of director Wang Jing, not only the return of the super hot kung fu superstar Zhen Zidan, the joining of Gu Tianle also adds a lot of points to this movie.
And this time", "Chasing Dragons 3: Chinatown" is also the second cooperation between Gu Tianle and Zhen Zidan after the 2015 comedy blockbuster "Detective Arrived", but I don't know what kind of spark these two old friends will rub in this new movie.
Perhaps because Andy Lau's performance in "Chasing the Dragon" left too deep an impression on the audience, many netizens expressed regret that he was absent from the results of "Chasing the Dragon 3: Chinatown".
However, judging from the content of director Wang Jing's interview with the media, although Andy Lau could not participate in the whole filming of the film because of the schedule, he would still be invited to make a cameo. And Wang Jing also said that she would invite mainland first-line actors to join the film, which was also a surprise suspense.
With The invitation of Zhen Zidan and Gu Tianle to join and Andy Lau cameos, it is no wonder that director Wang Jing will confidently say that this film will not only become a representative of the new trend of Hong Kong films, but also surpass the box office record of 1.3 billion yuan of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2".
Because as early as March, the news of the start of filming of "Chasing Dragons 3: Chinatown" was released, so according to the normal work schedule, the film should be being filmed in an intense and orderly manner.
And the 2022 upcoming date shown on Douban by "Chasing Dragons 3: Chinatown" also seems to indicate the current progress of the film.
Now that the time of 2021 has passed more than half, it seems that we will soon see this high-quality blockbuster film created by the stars working together, but I don't know if the box office can exceed 1.3 billion as Wang Jing wishes, but it is a good expectation.
