"Goldfinger" is set, Tony Leung and Andy Lau return to "Infernal Affairs"


1905 movie network news On August 17, the film held a global filmmaking press conference in Beijing, with the director, screenwriter, producer, star,,,, and other main creators appearing, announcing that the film will be released globally on December 30.Director Zhuang Wenqiang said the film would focus on "an impossible life that earns 10 billion with 100 yuan", a story of dreams and nightmares. Tony Leung and Andy Lau worked together again after a lapse of 20 years, this time the two can be said to be "two-way running".



Andy Lau revealed that he initially read the ten-thousand-character outline of the story of "Goldfinger". After reading it, he asked the director who his opponent was, and it couldn’t be Tony Leung. The director nodded. "Then this script is right," Lau said. Leung Chaowei said that his first choice for the rival actor was also Andy Lau.

Talking about the feelings of this partnership, Andy Lau said, "I once again felt that with a good actor, you can improve a lot." Tony Leung said, "We are a good partner in TV, the best partner, but it takes decades to work together, but every time is very happy and happy."

Mr. Leung and Andy Lau have come together about every 20 years, from 1984’s "The Deer’s Cauldron" to 2002’s "Infernal Affairs" to 2023’s "Goldfinger." Looking back on the changes in the past 20 years, Mr. Leung said that he has made fewer and fewer films. "I enjoy the preparation work more, which is the most interesting part. I would rather spend half a year preparing a movie." Andy Lau humorously said that maybe the two of them can survive until 20 years later to collaborate on another work.

At the press conference, Tony Leung and Andy Lau respectively identified themselves as "i-people" and "e-people", one introverted and one extroverted. But the characters played in the film have completely opposite personalities. From the preview and poster, it can be seen that Cheng Yiyan played by Leung Chaowei sits on the money with a contempt for all living beings, while Liu Qiyuan played by Andy Lau is solemn and firm.

Tony Leung said that the relationship between the two in the movie is like Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao in "The Deer", and Andy Lau said that they are also like Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs", which are "both enemies and friends."

The heroine Cai Zhuoyan said that her role this time is a link that has repeatedly pulled Tony Leung and Andy Lau over the past 15 years. She did not expect to be able to work with two idols at the same time, which is a king-level feeling. In this film, Cai Zhuoyan’s third collaboration with Andy Lau, she bluntly stated that "when I have Brother Hua, I will be very at ease. He gives me a lot of security. He will get along with the staff and tell a lot of funny things, which is very easy."
