One idol a year, Andy Lau for a hundred years.
His professional and dedicated attitude has influenced generations of newcomers in the entertainment industry, and he still maintains the title of "model worker".
Take 2023 as an example. At the beginning of the year, A Wandering Earth 2 was released, which won 4.029 billion box office.
The’ 93 International Train Robbery: Operation Moscow, which is being shown, has also sold nearly 600 million yuan, making it the highest-grossing film in Qiu Litao this year.
The Movie Emperor, Stealth and Goldfinger.Three movies have been booked, and the expected value is directly filled.
In the middle, I also made a guest appearance in a China Taiwan Province movie "Fast Life Road", mainly to stand for the son of a dead old friend Ke Shouliang. This friendship is really rare.
In 2023 alone, there will be six films released by Huazai, and there will be more.Two and a Half Fathers, Crisis Route and Oriental Wall Street 3 "Inventory"Pending file.
That’s not all. Recently, another film, Anger Spreads, was filmed. Judging from the opening ceremony, the cast was luxurious, and it was the theme of a gangster film familiar to Hong Kong filmmakers, so it should not be missed.
01. Continue the spirit of the late director Chen Musheng.
In 2021, Anger Serious Case directed by Chen Musheng sold 1.329 billion yuan in the mainland, which is still the highest box office record of pure Hong Kong films in the mainland.
The film continues Chen Musheng’s usual hot action scenes, and Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse also contributed wonderful performances. Unfortunately, director Chen Musheng didn’t see it, and 2020 will be gone.
The birth of Anger Spread is mainly to continue the spirit of the late director Chen Musheng. Although the story has changed and Andy Lau replaced Donnie Yen, the spirit of Chen Musheng will never change and spread forever.
The film was originally called Anger Spread, but Andy Lau changed it to Anger Spread and wrote it himself.He hoped that the fire in Chen Musheng could spread.
The last collaboration between Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse dates back to the New Shaolin Temple in 2011. Coincidentally, this film was directed by Chen Musheng.
The fate of Andy Lau and Chen Musheng began with the 1990′ s "If there is love in heaven", which was Chen Musheng’s first play. At that time, he was a newcomer, and he relied on Du Qifeng to help him.
The relationship between Nicholas Tse and Chen Musheng is more like mentoring. From gen-x cops to New never to lose, to Men’s True Color, New Shaolin Temple and Anger Serious Case, Nicholas Tse’s growth can’t be separated from Chen Musheng’s support.
Every time Xiao Xie talks about director Chen Musheng, he is full of gratitude.It was the director who asked him to learn how to stick to his own path with the spirit of a craftsman.
Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse were both actors in New Shaolin Temple 12 years ago, but now their identities have changed in Anger Spread.
As a producer, Andy Lau can help director Guo Zijian control the quality of the film, while Nicholas Tse is an action director. This is the second time that he has held this position after Customs Front.
Xiao Xie expressed the hope that every action in the play would have new creations. When designing actions for Hua Ge, he found that Hua Ge was really sharp and skillful, and he needed to learn from his accumulated experience over the years.
And Hua Ge also saidXiao Xie is more mature after 12 years and is very professional in action design.And praised him as the next action star.
02. The cast is luxurious
In addition to Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse, many heavyweight actors joined in, which greatly increased the film’s highlights.
First place, Xu Guanwen, a cold-faced comedian.
Before Stephen Chow, he was the king of comedies in Hong Kong films. His comedies focused on daily life and reflected the joys and sorrows of grassroots people.
I have broken the box office record many times, won the Best Actor, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Best Supporting Actor. I am simply a hexagonal warrior.
He and Chen Musheng had worked together on Baby Project before, and played the role of "charterer", which continued his humorous nature.
This time, "Anger Spreads", I guess his performance method should be similar to "When the Wind Comes Again", but I really hope that 81-year-old Xu Guanwen can play a villain.
Second place, "Li Ding" Lv Liangwei
Lv Liangwei said that he was very happy to cooperate with Xu Guanwen, who was his idol and grew up watching his "Double Star Good News".
Lv Liangwei’s famous work is Shanghai Beach in 1980. Apart from Xu Guanwen, he has the oldest qualifications.
Lv Liangwei’s role was sacrificed too quickly in The Serious Case of Anger. I hope that this time, I can play more scenes and reproduce the true character of "Brother Slag" in The Fuse.
Third place, Xie Miao.
The fate of Xie Miao and Hongkong films can be traced back to the 1990s.
When Jing Wong filmed "Five Ancestors of the New Shaolin", he needed a group of children who knew martial arts. After layers of selection, Xie Miao was chosen as the son of Jet Li.
Although he is young, he is excellent in kung fu and mature as a teenager, which makes the role of Hong Wending vivid.
Later, he collaborated with Jet Li on Letter to Dad, further establishing a father-son partnership with Jet Li, and was praised by the media as Jet Li’s successor.
After several Hong Kong films such as Peter Pan and Gambling God 2, Xie Miao went back to school.
When he returned to the entertainment circle, no one used him again, so he had to start again and slowly polish it on the set.
When the online movie market erupted, Xie Miao seized the opportunity to become the biggest online player, and made a big splash in the field of action movies with the series of "Arrogant" and "Northeast never to lose".
Today, Xie Miao is the most promising action star, and his strength has also been seen by Hong Kong filmmakers, so this time, "Anger Spread" came into being.
When it comes to working with two superstars, Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse, Xie Miao said that he was very excited. Seeing Brother Hua’s heartbeat was particularly fast, and seeing Brother Feng’s figure was particularly stressful.
He also said that he was a stranger in the image of the Hong Kong police for the first time, and the director asked him to speak the dialogue in Cantonese.
Xie Miao has finally made its mark in the Hong Kong film circle, and the resources of the Hong Kong circle will certainly be found in the future. It is expected that Xie Miao can carry the banner of action movies and give play to the characteristics of action movies made in Hong Kong.
Fourth place, this sand
The first part of Feng Shen has trained many new people for the entertainment circle, such as Yu Shi, Chen Muchi, Hou Wenyuan, this sand, Na Ran and so on.
But this sand is the first one who can get the resources of Hong Kong circle. Some people say that Hong Kong filmmakers like him because he looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Sha said that he was very honored to participate in Hong Kong movies. The first movie he saw was Bruce Lee’s The Raptor Crossing the River, and later he saw The True Color of Heroes and The True Color of Men.
Today, I took two shots when I opened the mirror, and it was very cool to shoot, and I felt that my dream came true.
In addition to the above, there are many actors such as Chen Jiale, Chen Guobang, Huang Debin, Shen Zhenxuan, He Peiyu, Yang Tianyu, Zitong Hu, Fang Ping, Zhang Wenjie, Lin Qiunan, Tang Junci and Tang Jialin.
"Anger Spread" is still very reasonable in the actor configuration, with Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse leading the way, Xie Miao, a powerful actor in the field of action, newcomers here, and familiar faces like Xu Guanwen and Lv Liangwei. I believe the box office behind it will not be bad, and I will wait for it to be released in 2024. (Author: XI)
