"Chasing the Dragon 2" releases a poster directed by Wong Jing, adapted from real events

Recently, Bona Film CEO Yu Dong revealed that "Chasing the Dragon 2: The Hunt for the Rich" directed by Wang Jing will be released on June 6. It is reported that "Chasing the Dragon 2" has a deep connection with the film "Election" directed by Johnnie To. Not only does it have four important roles in "Election", including Tony Leung, Louis Koo, Simon Yam and Lam Ka-tung, but Wang Jing himself has also been suggested to play the role of his father Wang Tianlin in "Election".

The film subsequently released a new poster, in which Tony Leung Ka Fai, wearing a white suit, stands with his hands outstretched and his back facing a police car, with countless banknotes flying in the sky. Behind him are three dead bodies, two men and one woman, and the blood on half of his face makes people wonder whether the character he plays is the protagonist of the film, the gangster Long Zhiqiang.

On July 27, 2018, "Chasing the Dragon 2" was officially approved. According to the plot outline shown in the film shooting and production filing public notice, the film tells the story of the gangster Long Zhiqiang kidnapping the eldest son of the wealthy Li Jia and Lei Jia before Hong Kong's return to China and extorting a huge sum of money. The mainland police cooperated with the Hong Kong police and sent mainland police officer He Tian to infiltrate Long Zhiqiang's gang and discovered that his plan was to kidnap the wealthy He Bufan. In the end, He Tian bravely captured Zhiqiang and rescued He Bufan.

In 2016, Wong Jing's Chasing the Dragon combined the drug lord, Crippled Ho, and the 500 million dollar inspector, Lei Luo, two Hong Kong police and gangster bosses, in the same movie, which was a great success in both word of mouth and box office. Judging from the plot of Chasing the Dragon 2, the gangster Long Zhiqiang may have a prototype, that is, Zhang Ziqiang, a gangster who also appeared in the movie and kidnapped Li Ka-shing's son.

Previously, a poster of "Chasing the Dragon 2" was exposed. In addition to Tony Leung and Louis Koo, there was a third naked man tied to a chair, which sparked a lot of speculation.

It is reported that "Chasing the Dragon 2" is directed by Wong Jing and Kwan Chi-yiu, written by Wong Jing, adapted from real events, starring Tony Leung Ka-fai, Louis Koo, Lam Ka-tung, Qiu Yinong ("Skiptrace"), Yip Sheung-ming ("Knife of the Assassin"), with special guest appearances by Simon Yam and Du Jiang, and will be released on June 6.
