＂Cold War 2＂ director ＂three super special＂ golden statue director to create a new peak

??Four years ago, Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing’s police and bandit masterpiece was released, winning nine awards including best film and best director. Four years later, the original cast made a comeback, and the hot gold sequel continued to heat up, being praised as "Legends of the Three Kingdoms". Recently, the film’s director’s special was announced, and actors including Chow Yun-fat, Guo Fucheng, Liang Jiahui, and the three best actors praised its "professional" and "high requirements", which raised the police and bandit films to a new height.

The script is awesome "This is the story that Guo Fucheng can’t refuse"

??When filming in Hengdian, Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing ate barbecue and drank beer after work every day to talk about the script. Seeing Hillary and Obama debate for the US election, the story of the struggle between the top of the police force emerged, which gave birth to "Chills". The fame of the First World War four years ago was both motivation and pressure for the two. To retain the elements that the audience likes and add some new elements, how to make the second film more exciting than the first? This is their common problem.

??Director Liang Lemin said: "In’Cold War 2 ‘, it is necessary to express the details of many characters and events in the script clearly, the logic is clear, and the sense of reality is reasonable. In the previous one, many colleagues sacrificed, and this one needs new colleagues to make up for it to make the story richer and better. There will also be heavyweight characters. In short, the problems left by’Cold War’ must be solved in’Cold War 2 ‘, and the shortcomings of the first one must also be improved." It took three years to repeatedly overturn, rebuild, overthrow and rebuild, and the script of’Cold War 2’ was finally delivered to the actors.

??"As soon as their script comes over, I can finish it," sighed Kwok Fu-cheng, a new movie star who was promoted to police commissioner in "Cold War 2." His "mysterious" partner Li Zhiting praised it, and the script of "Cold War 2" was even more solid. "As an audience, what moved me the most when I read this script is that it has many, many clues, and there are many, many stems thrown around, but when you read it, you will feel that these stems were not put in by the director casually. Every word, every case, every flashback has its deep meaning. Every line is very solid, and you will be very eager to follow up."

The requirements are super high "We don’t want Chow Yun Fat who has played before"

??Chow Yun-fat, who joined for the first time, played a senior barrister in "Cold War 2". He went head-to-head with Kwok Fu-cheng and Leung Ka-hui, and the audience cried out, "The three best actors can almost burn holes in the screen." In fact, this is the first collaboration between directors Liang Lemin, Lu Jianqing and Fa Ge. Why can you invite Chow Yun-fat? Here is a funny story. After the release of "Cold War", many viewers left messages expressing their hope that there would be a brother in the second film. So they boldly prepared a role according to his temperament and told the boss Jiang Zhiqiang about this idea after writing. "The boss said lightly, try it, and then he really invited it. Those days were really legendary every day!" Liang Lemin sighed.

??Regarding the new franchise of "Cold War 2", Chow Yun-fa smiled and said: "I took the initiative to ask for a role!" When "Cold War" was released, he went to see the movie for the first time and praised it: "I haven’t seen such a good movie for a long time! So when I heard that the sequel was going to start filming, I immediately went to Boss Jiang and said that I must participate in this movie. It doesn’t matter what role, how much is paid, as long as I can act with them, I am very happy!"

??The two directors’ request to Fa Ge was: to see a different Chow Yun-fat. "I don’t want to act in the past, I want to give us a new feeling," Lu Jianqing said. Therefore, half a year before the movie started filming, they sent the dialogue draft to Fa Ge’s house. "Because I have never played the role of a lawyer, the director gave me a lot of advice. I have been making movies for more than 30 years. This is the first time I have been asked to listen on the spot, and I must have the original sound. When I met these two directors, I think it was the first time I was so serious, and I was very nervous on the spot every day. Because some of my dialogues have legal words, which are more twisted, I have to remember them carefully. If I want to speak well and naturally, it will become a kind of pressure." Zhou Yun-fat was very excited after not having this kind of challenge for a long time.

The scene is super cool "real guns and live ammunition, the whole city is at war"

??"None of us want to commit crimes, but we all like to hear crime stories, because these people are doing things we don’t dare to do in reality, they are helping us dream," the director Liang Lemin said with a laugh. So, based on "Chills", the two decided to make the action bigger and more difficult. "

??In "Cold War 2", the guns used are all live ammunition, and the action scenes are designed to be realistic. Moreover, for the first time, the MTR and tunnels are officially "manipulated" in order to allow the audience to "stay in the field". Qian Jiale, the film’s action director, emphasized that the entire "Cold War 2" action scenes are "the safest way to shoot the most dangerous shots." He introduced that the car chase scenes in the play are actually very dangerous, and some car rollover scenes may take only one shot in a day. In an action scene where the waist is cut and the car is broken, because there is a real driver in the car, the filmmakers specially used 6 or 7 cars to rehearse on the spot in advance in order to get the safest test data. At the same time, the filming of the action scenes is not easy for the actors. Guo Fucheng, who personally went to the front line to fight the gangsters, recalled that in one scene, a tear gas grenade came over, which irritated the eyes and ended up crying all day. And Yang Yuning, who contracted the action scenes in the film, even played the role. "There was a tunnel gunfight scene. When I fired the first shot with a submachine gun, I realized that I was not wearing earplugs. As a result, the day I finished work, my ears were still ringing."

??The two directors’ strict control of the story, performance and picture has taken the quality of "Cold War 2" to a higher level. "The director’s things are more macroscopic and detailed, and the use of film footage and film sense have been greatly improved. It is a new structure that is different from the previous Hong Kong police and gangster films," said Kwok Fu-cheng. "The director’s script is quite full, and as long as he follows the story, the inner human being is slowly pulled out by the director. The second film, the so-called case struggle or power struggle at the top, is more obvious and intense, and it elevates Hong Kong police and gangster films to a new level," Leung Ka-fai believes.
