The first trailer is from "Confession of Pain"
(傷城)
which stars Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Shu Qi, and
Chapman To.
Synopsis: In a city of love and prosperity, a city of
lost hope and premature death, veteran detective Hei
(TONY LEUNG CHIU-WAI) feels it all: the hurt, the
helplessness, the horror. When his father-in-law, the
billionaire benefactor Chau, is gruesomely murdered in
his palatial mansion, he enlists the assistance of his
former partner turned private detective, Bong (TAKESHI
KANESHIRO).
On the surface, the murder smacks of a vendetta that has
taken a lifetime to fulfill. But no sooner has Bong
agreed to crack the case with Hei than he realizes
nothing is what it appears to be. Undoubtedly, they are
after a monster in a perfect crime: every detail was
meticulously orchestrated, every motive conveniently
justifiable, and every culprit and potential witness
mysteriously eliminated.
But Bong has his own demon to fight. Ever since the
suicide of his pregnant girlfriend, he has lost his joie
de vivre, even though he still retains the finest
instincts of a man hunter. As he digs deeper and deeper
into the case, all evidence seems to point to Chau’s
daughter and Hei’s hysterical wife, Susan. But then the
killer ups the ante by murdering Susan as well. Bong
starts grappling with the suspicion that the man they
hunt is someone very close to them, someone on the verge
of a total breakdown.
Like lost souls in a city of fallen angels, the cop, the
private detective, and the killer are doing what they
must. Every step of their journey takes them closer and
closer to one another, until a shocking denouement in
which no stone is left unturned and no one can escape
unscathed.

The second trailer is for the film "Battle Of Wits"
(墨攻). This film stars Korea's Ahn Sung Kee, Korea's Choi
Shi Won, China's Fan Bingbing, Hong Kong's Andy Lau, and
Taiwan's Nicholas Wu.
Synopsis: A lavishly-produced historical drama from
China, A Battle of Wits tells the complex story of a
lone warrior whose mission is to save a besieged walled
city from the savage attack of a 25,000 strong army.
Late in the 3rd century, when China comprised seven
rival kingdoms, Ge-Li – an remarkable savior in rags –
stands alone in an endangered city waiting to fulfill
his destiny.
It is an impossible battle however you look at it. But
here is a lone man willing to climb every mountain and
cross every river just to get to the city of Liang with
only one aim: to deliver Liang from the overwhelming
threat of the Kingdom of Zhao in her battle against the
Kingdom of Yan.
Ge Li is the last Mohist in the Warring States period of
China. Facing him in the field are thousands of swift
chariots ad many thousands more mail-clad soldiers. His
battle will be the loneliest battle in the history of
war. No battle has ever been this unmatched in strength.
Would this one man alone be able to change the destiny
of Liang? On the surface, this is a battle for which
bloodshed would be inevitable. But in reality it is also
a battle of wits. A struggle between power and desire:
between a ruler and those being ruled. A message of
anti-war through war itself.
