The hottest movie in China now probably is Lost in Hong Kong. A mediocre middle-aged man (Zheng Xu) plans his family vacation and also a trip to see his first love again. However, dashed by his brother-in-law (Bei-Er Bao), the trip turns into something no one ever expects. According to the news updates, the 11th Chinese American Film Festival (CAFF) will screen the movie!
As a sequel of Lost in Thailand, Lost in Hong Kong draw 200 million Yuan in a single day box office besting all other movies. With 60% film row rate, the 2D movie keeps the record of 2D movie single day box office, Chinese movie single day box office and other 10 No. 1s. The total box office now is about 1.5 billion Yuan.
The movie was put together very well for its maximum enjoyment. The story is high, humorous, and entertaining. The tempo is right, just enough of sensation, emotion, and redemption. The leading actors and actresses, Zheng Xu, Wei Zhao, and Bei-Er Bao have delivered their performance full of sincerity.
The biggest highlight is that the movie brings back the atmosphere of 1980’s Hong Kong with all those amazing Cantonese old songs. It reflects the youth of the main characters, which is gong forever for the 70s’ generation. The movie talks about the obsession and passion of youth, midlife crisis, and dream. You will be surprised if you are a Hong Kong movie fan. In the movie, try to find those hidden eggs with Kar Wei Wong (director of The Grandmaster, My Blurberry Nights, and In the Mood for Love) and Stephen Chow’s (one of the greatest comedian in Chinese film history) famous lines, and Leslie Cheung’s (a legendary Hong Kong singer and actor) singing.
Lost in Hong Kong is not a simple comedy. Audiences from different generations resonate to the thriller comedian drama. The movie strives to touch the deep social and emotional common ground of people.
