The four heavenly kings, the four talents, the four evil people, and the four great Hua Dan, not only are the four people in reality common, but also abound in the movie, and zhou Xingchi's films alone have the four talents of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", the four concubines of Huafu, the four great adulterers of Jiangnan, the four subversive masters and the "Baolong family" of "The King of Destruction", and so on. Of course, the four-person combination is naturally indispensable to the four major families and the four major inspectors of the wolf film.
In 1991, the Ma Dang Xiong brothers' film "Lame Hao" earned 38.7 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking third in the annual box office list. The significance of the success of "Lame Hao", just like the zombie film "Mr. Zombie", the gambling film "God of Gamblers", the martial arts film "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu", successfully led to the trend of the Hong Kong Gangster Biography, followed by "Leiluo Biography", "Casino Tycoon", "Four Inspectors", "Blue River Biography", "Dragon and Tiger Brothers of the Four Families", "Three Flags of a Generation of Heroes", "Shanghai Emperor" and so on.
Just like zombie films, gambling films, and martial arts films, gangster films later fell into shoddy production and blind follow-up, since "Shanghai Emperor" this type of film has been in a slump, until 2017 Wang Jing created "Chasing the Dragon", so that "Leiluo" and "Lame Hao" were revived again, in addition to the box office and word-of-mouth victory, but also triggered many Hong Kong film fans to remember the 90s Heroes films.
The success of "Chasing the Dragon" gave birth to "Chasing the Dragon 2", Wang Jing led the four major movie emperors of the "Underworld" to tell the story of the Thief King, and the result did not achieve the expected effect, just like the two kings and four twos who held a deck of cards, and did not win the battle.
Unwilling, Wang Jing decided to come again, and transformed the 2009 "Money Empire" into "Money Empire 2: Four Detectives", and the lineup was also upgraded, and the current lineup given was five film emperors plus 1 golden supporting role: Liang Jiahui, Gu Tianle, Wu Zhenyu, Lin Jiadong, Zheng Zeshi and Wu Mengda.
It is worth mentioning that "Money Empire 2: The Four Detectives" also marks the participation of Dawn on the Douban, so that there are 6 film emperors, and it is said that Lu Liangwei also participated, although Lü Liangwei is not a film emperor, but with the role of "lame Hao", it is enough to become the gangster godfather and uncrowned king in our hearts.
Wang Jing's collection this time is definitely the "Immortal Lineup", "Leiluo" Liang Jiahui, "Ni Yongxiao" Wu Zhenyu, "Ji Bingxiong" Lin Jiadong, two "Lard Boys" Wu Mengda Zheng Zeshi, "Lame Hao" Lü Liangwei and Labor Model Gu Tianle, the four major inspectors, that is, Lü Le, Lan Gang, Han Sen, and Yan Xiong, how should Wang Jing arrange it?
How Wang Jing arranges the role we don't know for the time being, but Weng Ziguang's "When the Wind Rises Again" is also the theme of the four major inspectors, which has long been filmed and is likely to be released this year. You may wish to compare the two versions first, first look at the lineup, "When the Wind Rises Again" there are many movie emperors, there are 5: the cold-faced smiley Xu Guanwen, the "little electric eye" Liang Chaowei, the Asian dance king Aaron Kwok, the wine sword fairy Xie Junhao, and the Golden Horse Film Emperor Eddie. At the same time, "When the Wind Rises Again" also adds a film queen Spring and Summer, but she is not the protagonist, it should be a friendship starring.
Wang Jing has Wu Mengda, the golden supporting role, and Weng Ziguang has Zhou Wenjian, Tan Yaowen, Jin Yanling, Zhang Zhaohui, Taibao, He Qinan, Zhang Keyi, Bai Only and other powerful factions to join, without a hindrance, under the combination of strong and powerful, will never lose "Money Empire 2: Four Detectives".
As for the arrangement of the role, Aaron Kwok will play Lei Le (Lü Le), Liang Chaowei will play Nan Jiang (Lan Gang), Tan Yaowen will play Yan Hong (Yan Xiong), Zhou Wenjian will play the fat han (Han Sen), Liang Chaowei's "Ferryman", "Catch the Demon 2" and "European Raiders" in recent years are disappointing, and I hope that this time I can turn around. In recent years, Chengcheng has been as stable as ever, the film resources are getting better and better, and the box office reputation of the "Cold War" series and "Peerless" has soared, and I hope that he will continue to work hard.
Tan Yaowen's acting skills are superb, once because "Across the Sea" is too bad, walking on the street was scolded, and Zhou Wenjian, who has not appeared for a long time, is a surprise, before the last play was in 2003 and Zhang Jiahui's cooperation with "The Gambler's Man Will Win the Day", this comeback is worth looking forward to.
About the "Four Detective Chiefs", in fact, as early as 1992, Lin Delu had made a version, there is no mistake, that is, the director of the "Anti-Corruption Storm" series, starring Li Xiuxian, Ren Dahua, Zheng Zeshi, Li Zixiong, that year was also a "lame Hao" follow-up work, but it was able to earn 13.55 million Hong Kong dollars in the case of Stephen Chow, which is quite remarkable.
After 27 years, the "four major inspectors" have been put on the big screen again, Weng Ziguang and Wang Jing will fight on the same stage, "four major inspectors" meet the "four major inspectors", it is also a big new thing, from the perspective of the lineup alone, personal preference for Wang Jing, but from the director's point of view, it is inclined to Weng Ziguang, then which version do you look forward to more?
