Before he leaves her still sleeping on the bed in the morning, he gives her shoes a rough shine. Up in the hotel room, however, she falls asleep and he winds up essentially alone watching old movies on TV and eating take-out. Cop 223 spots a woman in a blonde wig at the Bottoms Up Club and approaches her with romance in mind. May 1 comes and there is no reconciliation with May.
Thus he endows with the tins with symbolism: May (his ex-girlfriend) is the fruit, and the expiration date is the day when his hope of ever getting her back passes by forever. Every day he buys a can of sliced pineapples with an expiration date of May 1 with the intention of eating all the contents by the time his birthday arrives. His birthday is exactly one month away, and he has set that date as the day they will either be reunited or he will move on. Thanks for all the encounters,” he wrote.Cop 223 gets a really lousy April Fool’s Day present, and one that is not a prank: his girlfriend May chooses that day to break up with him. “You don’t ask, I don’t tell it’s a tacit understanding. “We have no further comment on this project at this stage,” a spokesman for Wong’s production company Jettone told Variety by email.Ĭhinese media reports speculate that the future portion of this film will unfold in the actual Chinese city of Chongqing (formerly spelled as the titular “Chungking”), where Wong (aka Wang Jiawei in mainland China) has been publicly spotted over the past year, sporting his signature look of a black cap and sunglasses.Īfter one of the early sightings last fall, he posted to his Weibo social media account a cryptic photo of a text that read “25-25,” which fans interpreted as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the original film and hint that a revamp could be in the works. “Wong is currently shooting the TV series in China, where he has been for some time,” the source said.
The timing of the “Chungking Express 2020” film is unclear. “Wong was planning to film a coda to ‘Chungking Express.’ Now it seems to be a feature,” a source close to the director told Variety. It would seem that Wong’s new film may be a sort of continuation of this original, but with a portion of the story unfolding in the future, where some sci-fi sounding elements are introduced, and with the addition of new characters such as May and Xiao Qian. The first is getting over a break-up with a woman named May when he encounters a mysterious femme fatale, while the second overcomes his break-up blues as he falls for a girl in a fast food restaurant. That film tells two sequential love stories about two heartbroken policemen. The original “Chungking Express” written and directed by Wong was released in 1994, and starred Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Faye Wong, and Takeshi Kaneshiro.
