The four major film emperors have joined forces to reproduce the major anti-corruption case
Vividly interpret the drama of the times
The movie "Chasing the Tiger and Catching the Dragon" tells the story of the pioneering anti-corruption investigators Chen Ke (Played by Koo Tin Lok) and Bai Song An (Playing Lam Ka-dong) at the beginning of the establishment of the ICAC of Hong Kong, fighting with the head of the drug lord "Lame Hao" (Leung Ka Fai) and the corrupt Chief Inspector Xu Le (Played by Wu Zhenyu). In the film, the acting skills between Gu Tianle, Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu and Lin Jiadong have firmly hung the audience's appetite. In the special edition released today, the leading actors have also appeared to introduce their own character images.
Gu Tianle, who plays anti-corruption pioneer Chen Ke, has appeared in the anti-corruption series of films many times to rave reviews, and this time he became the first anti-corruption person, showing the difficult predicament of the ICAC at the beginning of the establishment by creating a character image of investigator Chen Ke who is jealous and hateful, courageous and strategic. At the same time, he also said that being able to cooperate with so many film emperor-level people is also a challenge to himself.
Leung Ka-fai, who was praised as the "Emperor of Changeable Movies", played the leader of the drug cartel "Lame Hao" in the film this time. It is reported that director Wang Jing previously invited Liang Jiahui to play other roles, and Liang Jiahui chose "lame Hao" in order to challenge himself. In order to restore the image of this fierce character, he perfectly presented it through details such as special effects makeup, stuffing cotton in his mouth, and limping walking outside the play.
Inspector Xu Le, played by Wu Zhenyu, has a complex personality and rich inner drama, which requires extremely strong role handling ability to be able to control. The two are black-and-white all-you-can-eat partners in the play, and outside the play are friends and partners for many years, and they also said after cooperating again: "This time is absolutely groundbreaking, and the effect is particularly good." ”
Lin Jiadong, who played the anti-corruption general Bai Song'an in the film, said that in addition to enjoying the performance during the filming process, he could also appreciate the sense of atmosphere of that era and the deep content conveyed by the storyline, and he also revealed that the four film emperors had a tacit understanding during the filming process, which is worth everyone's expectations.
