Preach in words. - Don Tears
Newcomer director.
The script creation stage locks in the protagonist candidate.
The first part of the series was released in 2012, winning the Hong Kong Annual Championship and setting a new box office record for Mainland Hong Kong films.
The following year, it swept the 32nd Academy Awards.
It won nine awards, ranking second in the history of the Academy Awards.
After four years, the second part was reloaded.
Win the Year's Championship again.
Broke the hong Kong box office record for Chinese films and topped the overall championship.
In the mainland, the box office record of Hong Kong films has been directly raised from about 300 million to nearly 700 million.
It was not until the release of "Peerless" in 2018 that the box office record was rewritten again.
In terms of its momentum and reputation.
Or it can be called the strongest series of Hong Kong police films.
But after the release of the second part, for five years, the third part has not been heard.
It seems to have been shelved.
Many other works with mediocre reputation have been filmed vigorously.
For example, the relatively mediocre "Anti-Corruption Storm" series.
Since the release of the first film in 2014, four consecutive films have been filmed in five years, and the box office has been rising steadily.
It is said that the fifth part has also been completed and will be released at the right time.
Also including the "Anti-Drug" released in 2013 and the "Bomb Disposal Expert" released in 2017, these two series are not as popular as "Cold War", but the third part of the former is about to start filming, and the second part of the latter was released last year, and the final chapter may not be far away.
Another example is "Eavesdropping", which completed three parts of the series within five years.
This is truly a puzzling phenomenon.
If you take the best cop series of the last decade, "Infernal Affairs".
Three parts of the series were completed in two years.
If anything, directors need more time to focus on writing scripts.
Then during the filming of "Cold War" in 2012, the two had already created the script of "Equator".
When "Cold War" exploded and gained super word of mouth, they put down the creation of "Cold War II" and gathered mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korean actors.
Went to shoot "Equator" and released it in April 2015.
Then it was not until the reputation of "Equator" slipped and the box office was not good, and then he returned to shoot "Cold War II" in September of the same year.
The following year, "Cold War II" broke the box office record, and the golden statue received nine more nominations.
So the argument that more time is needed simply doesn't exist.
In terms of reality.
The film was particularly recognised and followed by the hong Kong police force executives.
Three years after the release of Cold War II.
Senior hong Kong police force officials questioned Aaron Kwok's agent, Xiaomei, through an open online platform.
Q When will I see Cold War III?
This is the only one in Hong Kong, where there are many police productions.
And if it is a film card division and schedule is difficult to adjust the problem.
The charm of this series of movies can attract Zhou Runfa to take the initiative to ask to join "Cold War II".
Just special starring he already felt satisfied.
So can Hong Kong have a bigger card than "Fa Ge"?
This is obviously not possible.
Because Zhou Runfa has another name, he can be the king of police movies.
As for funding.
Less likely to be a problem.
To put it colloquially, just by virtue of the word of mouth of the first two films, the third iron will definitely be a "super printing machine".
Others say something like reality.
Filmmaking is not decoupled from reality.
But since it is a creation, you can avoid a lot of things.
This obstacle should not actually exist.
Jiang Zhiqiang, the driving force behind "Cold War" and the owner of Anle Pictures.
In the previous promotion of "Red Fox Shusheng", he personally said that the third part of the "Cold War" series will be on the agenda.
Half a year has passed.
After Aaron Kwok filmed a mainland warm production of "Daddy is Wangcai", he may have recently entered the crew of "Anti-Drug III".
Leung Ka Fai entered the variety show and had a lot of fun.
"Cold War III" is still not heard.

The review is as above.
There's no reason to put Chilli III on the shelf.
That's true.
Puzzling.
