The film "Shinjuku Incident" tells the story of Xu Jinglei (who plays Jackie Chan's girlfriend in the movie) disappearing in Japan. In order to find her, Jackie Chan comes to Tokyo, only to discover that his girlfriend has already married the boss of a Japanese Yakuza gang. Afterwards, a dejected Jackie Chan encounters another Chinese person - "Mama-san" Fan Bingbing, while unfortunately getting entangled in a gang conflict. A notable scene in the movie is when Jackie Chan leads a group including Qian Jiale, Lam Snow, and Lu Huiguang in a standoff against the local Yakuza on the streets of Shinjuku.
"Shinjuku Incident" is a film directed by Alan Mak after ten years of gathering materials, depicting the twisted and thrilling experiences of Chinese people in Tokyo.
According to statements made at Cannes, Jackie Chan faces significant challenges in his role in this film. One of the highlights is: Jackie Chan will "die" at the end of the film, concluding the entire movie with a tragic ending.
As a supporting actor in the film, and having been introduced into the industry by Jackie Chan, Nicholas Tse revealed after returning from filming in Japan that he was very tired from constantly shooting for "Shinjuku Incident," losing 5 kilograms for this film. "I am much thinner than before." People present described, "From the clear bloodshot eyes of Nicholas Tse, it can be seen that this film caused him no small amount of suffering." The two female actors, Fan Bingbing and Xu Jinglei, portrayed rare negative roles in their acting careers, with Fan Bingbing playing the "Mama-san" character standing out in particular.
"Shinjuku Incident" makes its debut at Cannes, revealing Jackie Chan's appearance. The suspenseful thriller directed by Alan Mak, which had previously been kept under wraps, appeared yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. Yesterday, we learned from Emperor Motion Pictures about the latest appearances of the main cast of "Shinjuku Incident": Jackie Chan, Naoto Takenaka, Nicholas Tse, Xu Jinglei, and Fan Bingbing. Among them, the most impressive scene is when Jackie Chan leads a group in confrontation with the Japanese gangs.
"Shinjuku Incident" is scheduled for release in early April. At that time, using Baidu search, you can watch it on my Youku website.
"Shinjuku Incident" is a film prepared by Alan Mak over a decade of collecting materials, describing the convoluted and thrilling experiences of Chinese people in Tokyo. In the film, Jackie Chan faces the greatest challenge in his acting career so far. One of the highlights is: Jackie Chan is no longer "immortal," dying at the end of the film, tragically concluding the story. After completing the film, Alan Mak continued working on post-production, and the film's costume posters were never released. At the Cannes Film Festival, The Hollywood Reporter's Cannes special issue launched an unofficial advertisement poster for "Shinjuku Incident." The poster style is nostalgic, with a dark red tone, and the background is an old-style Japanese newspaper. The title "Shinjuku Incident" is written in calligraphy, and a large facial close-up of lead actor Jackie Chan forms the main content of the poster image. In terms of personal appearances, Jackie Chan, Nicholas Tse, Fan Bingbing, and Naoto Takenaka all display expressions of fear, tension, and oppression, while only Xu Jinglei's expression is cold and complex. In the film, Xu Jinglei and Jackie Chan are originally a couple, but after coming to Japan, she mistakenly becomes the wife of the gang leader, thus leading to a series of stories.
It is reported that due to the star-studded cast and highly engaging storyline of "Shinjuku Incident," production company Emperor Motion Pictures specifically produced a promotional booklet for the Cannes Film Festival, distributing it in a super-limited edition of 300 copies to important buyers worldwide. Among these stunning stills, the breathtaking scene of Jackie Chan leading Qian Jiale, Lam Snow, and Lu Huiguang in a standoff against the local Yakuza on the streets of Shinjuku in Japan is truly awe-inspiring.
It is reported that "Shinjuku Incident" is expected to premiere across Asia at the end of September, riding the wave of the "National Day" holiday season. Meanwhile, the posters making their debut at Cannes also include the suspense film "Keep Connected" starring Liu Ye and Barbie Hsu, as well as the previous inspirational sports film "Water Lilies" featuring Charlene Choi and Frankie Ng. The poster features a mysterious girl turning her back to the camera, creating a beautiful composition, sparking discussions about whether the poster's female protagonist is indeed Charlene Choi.
