Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the death of his brother Zhang Guorong, and many people miss him every year because he left too many classic works, whether it is movies or music. One of the upcoming films is the title of the song "When the Wind Rises Again" sung by Zhang Guorong.
The director of "When the Wind Rises Again" is Weng Ziguang, and when he talks about the title, he said that when the wind rises again, it represents the change of an era. The film is set in Hong Kong in the 1970s, an era of collusion and chaos between police and bandits! This has also been mentioned in many Hong Kong movies, such as the well-known "Lame Hao", "Leiluo", "Money Empire", "Chasing the Dragon" and so on. There are also some unpopular ones such as "Dragon and Tiger Brothers of the Four Great Families", "O Chronicle Triad Archives", "Three Banners of a Generation of Heroes", "The Anti-Flying Group of the Blue River", "Four Inspectors" and so on.
"When the Wind Rises Again" is actually a remake of "The Four Detectives", and "The Four Detectives" was originally starring Li Xiuxian, Ren Dahua, Zheng Zeshi and Li Zixiong. This time it was replaced by Liang Chaowei, Aaron Kwok, Tan Yaowen and Zhou Wenjian.
Liang Chaowei plays Lan Gang, and Xiang Huaqiang has previously played many times in films such as "Twelve Lessers on Temple Street" and "The Anti-Flying Group of Blue River". After Liang Chaowei previously acted in films that were out of standards such as "Soul Ferry" and "To Catch a Demon 2", this time it is estimated that he will be racing again, which will bring us a big surprise.
Aaron Kwok will play Lu Le, which is what we often call Leiluo. Andy Lau has basically become a spokesperson for Leiluo, and I don't know if Aaron Kwok can surpass Hua Ge. It is worth mentioning that Aaron Kwok once played Leiluo's son in "The Legend of Leiluo 2", which is also a coincidence!
The other two inspectors, Han Sen and Yan Xiong, will be played by Tan Yaowen and Zhou Wenjian, Tan Yaowen is the director Weng Ziguang's previous "Treading Snow and Finding Plums" team, and there is naturally no problem in cooperating again. Zhou Wenjian, as a representative of the muscle men of Hong Kong movies, has not come out to act for some years, and this return is also a great benefit for movie fans.
In addition to the four inspectors, the biggest surprise is naturally Hui Guanwen, as a cold-faced smile in the Hong Kong film industry, the first film emperor of the Hong Kong Film Awards, who has amused us for many years. The last time he appeared in "All the Way to the Wind", this time he will play Li Zichao, the investigation director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, in "When the Wind Rises Again", the role setting is similar to that of "Money Empire" Lin Bowie, and it is bound to have a fierce fight with the four detectives.
In addition to Aaron Kwok and Tan Yaowen, Jin Yanling, Chunxia, Bai Only, Tai Bao, Eddie are also involved, and the quality of the Hong Kong Film Awards team is naturally guaranteed, in addition, there are Zhang Zhaohui, Zhang Jicong, Xie Junhao, Yin Yangming, Zhang Keyi, Wu Zhuoxi and other people who have joined in, they are all old faces in the Hong Kong film industry, and they will definitely cause a nostalgic wind when the time comes, just like last year's "Chasing the Dragon".
However, Dasheng also needs to mention a person in particular, he is Ke Yulun, who also appeared at the launching ceremony of "When the Wind Rises Again" last year, and it is not clear what role he participated in. Ke Yulun's performance is naturally no problem, and has been favored by many well-known directors, such as Yang Dechang, Ang Lee and so on. Some time ago, the "Johnny Keck" he starred in could not be released on the mainland because his position was not firm and he had made some remarks that were not conducive to reunification.
Weng Ziguang's last "Treading Snow and Looking for Plums" is a three-level film, naturally can not be released, I don't know if this time "When the Wind Rises Again" director will not replace Ke Yulun, if not replaced, it must not be released in the mainland, because we often say that art has no borders, actors have countries, and people who swing this position should be banned.
Just from the theme and lineup of "When the Wind Rises Again", this is a very much worth looking forward to film, and many netizens say that it is a good film like "Chasing the Dragon", let's wait and see!
