1905 movie network news Since the national release on July 8, it has been hailed as "the most vigorous Hong Kong film in 2022" and has made great strides. Up to now, the box office has broken the 400 million mark, and the audience’s reputation is also excellent, and the popularity has increased instead of decreasing. Recently, the film released a special feature of "Hong Kong Memory", hoping that the audience can trace back the light and shadow memories of those old days along the Hong Kong landmarks such as Temple Street and Nathan Road that appeared in the film.
The reason why Detective Wars evokes countless people’s memories of Hong Kong films is that its story is very "Hong Kong", its rhythm is very "Hong Kong" and its spiritual temperament is also very "Hong Kong". At the same time, the shots of famous landmarks in Hong Kong that appear in the whole film also make many people feel the feelings about Hong Kong in the past.
In the newly released "Hong Kong Memory" special, the main shooting scenes of "Detective Wars" appeared one by one with Liu Qingyun, including Nathan Road, Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter, Tsuen Wan Public Pier, Cheung Sha Wan and so on, which are the most important trunk roads in Kowloon Peninsula. Among them, Temple Street, which is brightly lit at night and full of stalls, is full of fireworks, and the highest chasing scene is staged, while Liu Qingyun jumped into the sea to investigate the case at Tsuen Wan Pier.
The director laughed and said that all the live scenes were completely unfocused and the scenes were extremely scattered, so "no scene was good to shoot". In addition, it was very difficult to shoot Temple Street in Hong Kong, and he was once considered as "whimsical" by the production team. What’s more, this scene took ten or twenty days to shoot, and it was finally realized, which can be said to be very lucky. And the audience who walked into the cinema can also relive the familiar street scenes of Hong Kong with the film, looking for the imprint of the times that once stayed in our hearts.
During the interview, Director Wei Jiahui said that in his early years, he focused on inner drama, which was literary and restrained. This time, Detective Wars used action to package the story, and the rhythm was extremely tight, so he might miss a lot by going to the bathroom in the middle of the movie. Liu Qingyun also said that every scene and every case in the film provided many details for everyone to gradually understand the whole case. It can be said that this is a film with huge information.
