The Last Tycoon (Chinese: 大上海) is a 2012 Hong Kong period drama film directed by Wong Jing, starring Chow Yun-fat, Sammo Hung, Francis Ng and Huang Xiaoming.
20 years later, a middle-aged Cheng has become one of Shanghai's most influential tycoons; amongst his entourage are his childhood friend Xiaopang and rival-turned-bodyguard Lin Huai.
He meets his old flame, Ye Zhiqiu, when she visits Shanghai, but she is already married to Cheng Zhaimei, an anti-government activist.
After surviving an air raid and an abduction attempt by the Japanese, Cheng gets Mao to help him arrange for him, Ye and her husband to escape to Hong Kong.
One evening, while Nishino and Mao Zai are distracted by an opera performance by Ye and her troupe in a theatre, Cheng, rejoined by Lin Huai, Xiaopang and his mob, leads a raid on the Japanese military base where Hong, Ling and the others are held.

The Last Tycoon earned HK$5,787,307 at the Hong Kong box office[6] and has grossed ¥126 million in mainland China as of 6 January 2013.
