Behind-the-scenes production on the edge of another war

The Edge of Another War is Chow Yun Fat's second film to enter Hollywood. He plays a senior police officer with a black and white face. In addition to the hot action and fierce gun battle, the film also describes the brotherhood and honor of China, new york, and the hardships and courage of fighting strangers in the United States.

The original idea of this film came from the producer Dan Hesti, who read a newspaper report about police corruption in new york, China. When the idea flashed, he immediately picked up the phone and called New Line Film Company, and directly indicated that such a role was necessary for Chow Yun Fat, and New Line Company immediately adopted his suggestion.

In order to faithfully present this story, screenwriter Robert Pucci painstakingly studied China's social organization, immigration history and gang organization structure, and also visited prosecutors and lawyers who were investigating corruption cases in China City at that time, and went to China City from time to time to collect first-hand information. "I found another incredible world in this world." Pucci's greatest experience after finishing the script.

In addition to collecting materials personally, the screenwriter also got a lot of help from Fage. Together, they discussed Chen Li's mentality and underworld organizations, which are either black or white. Brother Fage also added a lot of his own ideas.

Mark wahlberg envied the role of Fage. He is naughty and active by nature. This time, he played a meticulous rookie in the police, full of textbook dogma, ignorant of any flexibility, upright and indifferent to the underworld. Compared with the role of Fage, he has a lot of room to play and is more serious and straightforward. Brother Fa grasped it well and taught mark wahlberg a lesson. The director had to give Brother Fage a thumbs-up sign. "Many big-name stars can only act and recite lines, thinking that movies are popular because of their relationship. They don't understand that movies are actually the crystallization of teamwork, let alone the grasp of the picture and the overall feeling. " Brother Fage always grasps the relationship between the feeling of the picture and the actors, lends a helping hand at the right time, fully participates in the script creation, and fully grasps the essence of this film. "I believe this is the reason why he became a superstar today."

In daily life, Brother Fa and mark wahlberg appreciate each other and often exchange experiences from different cultures. Brother Fage said, "I often don't understand what Mark is saying. There is a lot of street slang in his words, but he is very polite. Every morning when we meet, he will say to me, "Good morning, sir. "It is no wonder that Fage, who took bribes in the play, will play Mark's" heroic nature "spirit again for Mark.
