Wang Jing is too ambitious. Compared with his own "The Biography of 500 Million Inspector Lai Luo", he uses two films to tell the story of Lai Luo, and the deeds of Lai Hao in one stroke, and McDonald's only tells the story of Lai Hao in 140 minutes. , he actually wanted to tell the legendary life of two influential figures at the same time in just 120 minutes.
Constrained by the space, I can only choose to only tell the beginning and the end of the story, how Lai Luo sat on the 500 million detective and the lard boy to rectify the black and white of Hong Kong, and how the lame man quickly developed from a few brothers to the largest in Hong Kong. The signboard was captured in a slideshow. One minute before, Lai Luo and Lai Hao were still fighting to death in the Kowloon Walled City, and the next minute they had taken over the whole of Hong Kong, and then ushered in their respective endings. It’s like in the novel, the protagonist has thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Mobuo, the poor boy, finally rises up to kill the villain who suppressed him in the city, and wants to enter a wider world to show his grand plan. Suddenly the author writes that the protagonist encounters consecutive adventures and ascends to the Venerable, and then It is the fall of the protagonist of the earth-shattering final battle, which makes people feel a sense of fault and feel uncomfortable.
Later, in the discussion with his friends, he put forward a very enlightening point: Wang Jing is preparing for Chasing the Dragon 2. Although Chasing the Dragon 1 has finished the life and death of the two legendary characters, Chasing the Dragon 2 can also talk about how they control their own destiny between life and death. Howe's fortune can make a good movie.
Unfortunately, I don't know whether it was Wang Jing who didn't have this idea at all, or whether it was because of the nature of the businessman, Chasing the Dragon 2 became a police and bandit movie with the IP of Chasing the Dragon, and ran to tell the story of another legendary figure, Zhang Ziqiang. Although Tony Leung was accompanied by the bgm of Beyond's "I Am Angry" at the beginning, and played Zhang Ziqiang's madness incisively and vividly in the same few minutes as the mv, it was still difficult to conceal the emptiness and unreasonable logic of the whole film's plot, and deliberately added in the middle to please The mainland elements also made me sigh that the current Hong Kong films cannot go back.
