Behind the scenes

broadcast
EDITOR
  1. 1.
    The scene in which CAI Bo is forced up an outdoor platform by Ge Minhui with a gun finger was filmed outside on the 33rd floor of an unfinished high-rise building. The glass panel on which the actor knelt was supported by only four steel bars and was completely unprotected.
  2. 2.
    In order to show the scenery of Hong Kong, Xu Zheng deliberately shot the scene in Hong Kong's new landmark Skyline 100 Hong Kong Observation deck, and took the representative scenic spots of Hong Kong into the lens.
  3. 3.
    In the last scene alone, there are about 350 special effects scenes, which is a pure special effects scene.
  4. 4.
    In order to capture action scenes on IMAX screens, such as the feeling of falling from a sky, the production team specially proposed some shots and had foreign teams create special effects [4] .
  5. 5.
    Mr. Xu said the film was shot in Hong Kong mainly because it brings back so many memories. So he invited Hong Kong director Wang Jing to guest star in the film.

Positive comment

Lost in Hong Kong
As far as the film is concerned, Xu Zheng has gradually understood and mastered the essence of comedy after summing up the experience and lessons in the performance and directing of Lost in Journey and Lost in Thailand, etc. Instead of playing a joke and playing clever funny ways, he is more willing to use plot conflict and characterization to create advanced jokes, creating a comedy effect that hides sadness in joy and tears in laughter. The pursuit is to touch the heart rather than laugh and forget. "Lost in Hong Kong" is also a breakthrough for Chinese film creation, that is, its breaking and restructuring of the film genre and upgrading across the board. The beauty of it is that love, youth, nostalgia, suspense, police, action and other elements are mixed together, which can do not fight with each other, not dry and not chaotic, but collide with each other, inspiring different interests, and youth line, family line, dream line and killer line are parallel at the same time, forming an interesting pattern of multi-line cross narrative. "Lost in Hong Kong" cannot be classified as a certain film genre, its existence itself is a type of innovation and breakthrough, and as the helm of Xu Zheng on the whole control and can be relaxed, it is also worth the film creators to carefully study and learn from [8] . (NetEase Entertainment Review)
"Lost in Hong Kong" is no longer a simple comedy, the type and content have been comprehensively upgraded, not only Xu Zheng Bao Bao's laugh lost on the road, and Xu Zheng's heart-wrenching emotional drama, the film of middle-aged men's nostalgia for youth and reflection on life is more meaningful, not only laugh, but also moved and thinking. Ge Minhui, Li Canchen, Wang Jing, Lin Xue, Yuan Qiongdan and other golden supporting characters are outstanding, and Cantonese old songs and classic Hong Kong film scenes are also well integrated with the plot. Wong Kar-wai's love metaphor, Leslie Cheung's singing, and Stephen Chow's lines ignited the audience's enthusiasm for "Egg hunt together". (Xinmin Evening News "Review)
The film doesn't have as many laughs, but it's not crunchy, trying to create a comedic situation with controlled pacing rather than over-the-top comedy and vulgar verbal jokes [9] . (Beijing Times "Review)

Negative evaluation

Lost in Hong Kong is not balanced between the two clues of emotion and action, which becomes the shortcomings of the film, especially the emotional line as the internal driving force is not so strong. The film wants to show people's feelings of life to middle age, but there is insufficient space for emotional development, whether it is Xu Lai and his wife or his first love, the development of their relationship and the solution of the final problem, always feel that there is something missing, so the final climax can not be completed between the protagonists, need to add an external force, that is, Li Canchen played by the police brought about by the right and wrong [9] .
