The movie "Chills 1994" is scheduled for May Day! "Top lineup" unveils the power game before Hong Kong's return
Today, the film "Cold War 1994" directed by Liang Lemin was officially announced to be scheduled for May Day, and a scheduled trailer and a set of scheduled posters were released. As the return of the "Chills" series after ten years, this time not only does the top lineups in the "Chills Universe" such as Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, and Tony Leung Ka-fai return strongly, but also Gu Tianle's special starring role, as well as Wu Yanzu, Liu Junqian, Wu Kangren, Xie Junhao, Wang Danni, Liao Ziyu and other heavyweight actors have joined the team to jointly open a new chapter in the "Chills" series! The final notice released this time focuses on the dual timeline narratives of "2017" and "1994". On the one hand, it involves a series of key events such as the attack on Li Wenbin (Tony Leung Ka Fai) in 2017, and on the other hand, it traces back to the 1994 The secret power battle on the eve of Hong Kong's return not only revealed the origin of the "chills", but also brought to the surface the disputes between the four forces of "the British side, the police, wealthy businessmen, and the underworld".
The concept version of the fixed-profile poster released this time uses highly metaphorical visual language to unveil the power dispute on the eve of Hong Kong's return. Among them, in 1994, Hong Kong was turned into a cake "to be divided", and four hands reaching out from around the picture to the cake were full of profound meaning. The hand holding the knife cuts in strongly, the hand holding the fork is ready to go, the hand holding the spoon is waiting for the opportunity to move, and the hand holding the cake piece has already "taken a piece of the cake." In this "power reshuffle", what thrilling stories will the four forces of "the British side, the police, wealthy businessmen, and the underworld" write in Hong Kong? It leaves people with great imagination. In another lineup version of the regular poster, starring Wu Yanzu, Liu Junqian, Wu Kangren, and Xie Junhao, starring Wang Danni, Liao Ziyu, Aidan Guillen and Hugh Bonneville, with special performances Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok, friendly performances Liang Jiahui, special performances Gu Tianle's strong gathering, and strong forces joined forces to open a new chapter of "Chills". The film will be officially released on May 1st, so stay tuned!
The "Chilling Universe" has restarted after ten years, and the "top Ferrari" lineup is on the same stage!
Double-line narrative: "2017" Leung Ka-fai's version of Li Wenbin was attacked, and Chow Yun-fat and Kwok opened the mysterious archives of "1994"
Since its release, the films "Chills" and "Chills 2" have become the benchmark for Hong Kong police and bandit action films in the hearts of countless fans, relying on their high-energy machiavellian games and interlocking plot development. Not only have they received both reputation and box office, but also have aroused continuous heated discussion and in-depth interpretation from the audience. After many years, they are still recalled repeatedly. As a sequel to the return of ten years, the movie "Chills 1994" brings the narrative perspective back to 1994. With "The Origin of Chills" as the core, it traces the positions and starting points of the destiny of core characters such as Cai Yuanqi and Li Wenbin, and also responds to the "Chills" series. The many foreshadows laid down in the series, through laying down layers, let the audience feel this conspiracy and game that spanned more than 20 years.
With the continuous release of film information, the film "Chills 1994" has also received high expectations and attention from many fans. This time, not only will the classic characters played by Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung and others return, but also a number of new characters appear. In this regard, a series of fans bluntly said: "I am young again! This time it is really the top Ferrari lineup, which is eye-catching and worth looking forward to!" The final forecast released this time also connects the two timelines of "2017" and "1994", unveiling a "power puzzle" before Hong Kong's return. In the notice, Li Wenbin (played by Leung Ka-fai), former Deputy Director of Operations of the Police Force in 2017, was accidentally attacked and disappeared. To this end, the Commissioner of Police, Liu Jie-fai (Aaron Kwok), sought assistance from senior barrister Jane O'Wale (Chow Yun-fat). The two opened the mysterious file of "1994". What are the countless connections between Li Wenbin's experience and the past in 1994? At the same time, Ye Shunting (Gu Tianle) is expected to be the fifth chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. How does he relate to this matter? All kinds of clues attract imagination.
On the eve of Hong Kong's return, power was reshuffled! Wu Yanzu and Liu Junqian were jointly involved in the whirlpool of the times
The four major forces of "Britain, Police, Commerce, and Black" are fighting openly and secretly, either to be on the top or to be out
In 1994, Hong Kong was at a critical juncture of changes. Not only was the return of sovereignty imminent, but the Political Department of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, established in 1934, was also about to announce its dissolution. In the final notice, the British colonial forces told the Police Force's Deputy Director of Operations Tsai Yuan-kei (Wu Yanzu) and Acting Chief Superintendent Lee Wen-bin (Liu Jun-qian),"Can you continue to safeguard our British interests after 1997?", fully exposing their political ambitions during this special period. The two men's different answers and reactions are also quite profound, seemingly implying that they will move towards a different path in the future. Cai Yuanqi expressed his position to the British after pondering: "I believe that I am the only qualified candidate in the police force today." Li Wenbin asked in question: "Can you violate the law?" To this, the British side's answer was hair-raising:"We will not violate the law. We write the law." Under the mask of hypocrisy, there is undisguised desire. What kind of conspiracy will the British forces that are unwilling to withdraw from the Hong Kong stage plan at this time? It makes people shudder.
Not only was the secret control of the British colonial forces, but in this power vacuum in Hong Kong in 1994, the tentacles of core forces such as the police, wealthy businessmen, and gangs had long been entangled with each other, and the open and secret strife became increasingly intense. All parties will resort to whatever means to compete for the right to speak in Hong Kong, which has also pushed this power struggle that carries interests into a more dangerous and unpredictable situation. In the trailer, Pan Zhi Aung (Wu Kangren), Pan Junheng (Xie Junhao), and Pan Yixin (Liao Ziyu) from the Pan family show all the ambitions and calculations of the wealthy businessman class, while Nguyen Ruolan (Wang Danni) shows the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the underworld. As the trailer ends,"Black and white, there has always been me in you and you in me." In the chaos, the closer we get to power, the more we can't distinguish between right and wrong. Who can rise and who will be eliminated? Very curious.
