In this highly anticipated film, the transformation of Andy Lau, who delves into the hidden facets of a massive gold empire that dominates Hong Kong’s economy, is gathering expectations from audiences. “Goldfinger” showcases the essence of Hong Kong noir through the intense confrontation between Tony Leung Chiu-Wai’s character, the leader of the vast gold empire Carmen Group, ‘Zheng Yecheng’, and the anti-corruption investigator ‘Liu Zhiyuan’ (Andy Lau), who persistently tracks down the empire’s illegal activities.
Andy Lau’s portrayal of ‘Liu Zhiyuan’ embodies a character with a fierce determination to eradicate corruption, unveiling the malpractices of the gold empire ‘Carmen Group’ that controls the Hong Kong economy and thereby elevating the film’s tension. Lau’s profound charisma and in-depth acting are said to shine even brighter in this work. Particularly, the legendary chemistry with Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, who plays ‘Zheng Yecheng’, is expected to offer audiences a fresh spectacle.

When I asked who would play the role of ‘Zheng Yecheng’, the answer was Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, and I decided on the spot to participate.” He also expressed his satisfaction with the film after shooting, heightening expectations for “Goldfinger”.
