At the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards, the best actor was given to Nicholas Tse instead of Zhang Jiahui. For me personally, it was a result that really required a lot of reluctance to accept. And gave the heroine to Carina Lau! ! ! Come on, Hong Kong people are really nice, they are speechless.

No matter how skillful the makeup is, how beautiful the costumes are, or how majestic the Buddha made by the computer, this movie is a big bad movie, with big investment and big gimmicks, but it's a mess. Except for Liang Jiahui and Deng Chao, who are acting, the other male and female protagonists are just posing. The old monster Tsui Hark has been quiet for a few years. The things he has recently tinkered with are nothing but fantasy. He misses his Once Upon a Time series.

    Andy Lau plays like Andy Lau, just like in "Black Gold", 13 years have passed, in front of Liang Jiahui, he still can't hold his head up forever, without any acting skills. It is also said that Tsui Hark’s return to work, return to a hairy ah! Don't talk about "Huang Feihong", "New Dragon Inn", just say "Man Han Quan Feast", "Flower Moon Festival" are better than this. I don't know how much better. I think Carina Lau is surprisingly good, even better than in "Self Combing", with boldness.
