In the film, Zhou Yun-fa and Hong Jinbao play a pair of rivers and lakes brothers who share weal and woe with Ronghua; outside the play, the two also achieve their first cooperation in 30 years of debut. With the landing of "Greater Shanghai" in the New Year’s Eve file at the end of the year, the 30-year dispute between the movie brothers and the mystery that they have never worked together on the screen have also been solved.

In the past, the opponents became brothers, and Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yun Fat were more handsome

    In "The Great Shanghai", Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yun-fa play Shanghai tycoon Hong Shouting and Cheng Daqi respectively. Although the two are young and orderly, they are brothers who burn incense and sworn, open banks, set up casinos, and operate high-end nightclubs. They occupy all kinds of business in Shanghai, and call for the wind and rain. The two are on an equal footing in the troubled Shanghai Beach until the gradual rise of Cheng Daqi.

    In reality, Hong Jinbao and Zhou Yun-fa also have a legendary intersection. In the 1980s, the two had several box office clashes. In 1985, Hong Jinbao, who made a name for himself with his actions, was promoted to Jiahe and Debao, which sold well at the box office, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while. The next year, when he met the rapidly popular Zhou Yun-fa, many stars were defeated and ranked second at the box office. In 1987, the two staged a simultaneous war with one man and one martial art. In the following years, Zhou Yun-fa’s starring,,,, etc. have been dominating the box office in different genres. To sum up, Hong Jinbao self-deprecated that year because he was "not as handsome as Zhou Yun-fa".

    For this collaboration with Chow Yun-fat "Greater Shanghai", Hong Jinbao expressed no pressure, and joked that he thought he was "just a little fatter, but still very handsome!", the two starred in the Shanghai tycoon under troubled times, Hong Jinbao not only was not compared by the handsome and domineering of the hair guy, but also revealed that his role in the play is more feminine than Chow Yun-fat, "I am so handsome in this play, and there are more women around me than him (the hair guy), and more beautiful than him. Because of this, I was envied and almost got killed!"
