......

Chinese director Gou Yusheng, who is also the Chengdu Global Bona Culture Media Co. Ltd. chairman had alleged that the content, the relationship between the characters, the ending, and the shooting techniques of The White Storm 2 were from his 2006 film Wan Mei Qing Ren.

Guo is reportedly demanding compensation of NT$430 million (RM65.5 million).


......

Guo that this was not the first time Lau had plagiarised his work.

In 2007, he had proposed to Lau a movie script He Liu De Hua Yi Qi Chang Ge and both parties had started discussing the matter.

Discussions stopped in 2008 following an earthquake at Sichuan as Guo had to return there to conduct his relatives' funeral.

Guo said he then saw scenes of He Liu De Hua Yi Qi Chang Ge in the 2015 movie invested by Lau, Wo De Shao Nu Shi Dai.

The White Storm 2: Drug Lords grossed a total of US$191.47 million (RM810.9 million) worldwide including box office takings in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam.
