◇Highlights : Character director wishes another New Year
For a long time, the name Wei Jiahui has been associated with Johnnie To and Galaxy Image. Most of the works produced are slightly obscure character works such as "Peace Hotel" and "The Birth of a Prefix". It's just that at this low ebb period for Hong Kong movies, Mr. Wei suddenly made a 180-degree turn and devoted himself to New Year movies. Following last year's nostalgic "Rhapsody" that paid tribute to brothers Xu Guanwen, this year's New Year's Eve, Director Wei has brought his latest New Year blockbuster "Himalayas".
Wei Jiahui. Born as a TVB TV producer, he has produced blockbuster TV series such as the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Great Era", and "The Great Era 2000". His works are grand in style and profound in content. Therefore, it can be said to be very familiar to the tastes of the broad audience. Last year's Lunar New Year movie "Rhapsody" introduced elements of nostalgia and adapted a series of works by the famous comedy masters from the 1980s, the brothers Hui Guanwen.
Judging from the film information currently available, Director Wei is going to play with exotic scenes this time. In addition to generously setting the filming location entirely in India, he also introduced the current scenes in the city. Elements such as yoga, which are very popular among white-collar workers, have added a sense of mystery before it was released.
On the other hand, he has brought together three movie kings and movie stars, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu and Cecilia Cheung. Later, he joined forces with the new comedy genius Cheng Zhongji and the elegant beauty Ying Caier. In terms of cast, it has achieved the potential to win over people before it is released. So from any aspect, this film is definitely a New Year's masterpiece worth looking forward to.
At the same time, this is also the first time that Director Wei's film has entered the mainland film market. At the same time, it is just in time for Feng Xiaogang to make no new Lunar New Year film, so it combines the right time, the right place, and the right people. Let us wait and see what the results of "Himalayan Star" will be after it is released on February 3, 2005!
