Production and release
Director Wong Jing personally flew to Canada in 2016 to persuade Yen to star in his film Chasing the Dragon, while Yen was filming XXX: Return of Xander Cage at that time. Yen was convinced by Wong's sincerity, playing a non-traditional role of a villain with limited fighting scenes and the opportunity to work alongside Andy Lau.Шаблон:Citation needed Yen flew back to Asia to take part in the film after filming Return of Xander Cage in 2016.
In September 2017, Chasing the Dragon was released to mixed reviews from critics.[5] It was a huge hit with audiences in most Mandarin-speaking parts of Asia (including China and Singapore), beating Hollywood blockbuster Blade Runner 2049 and Jackie Chan's The Foreigner, despite being marketed less heavily.
