Andy Lau and Vic Zhou's Similar Police Characters

Somehow I just can't help but think that without Andy Lau and his police roles, I don't think Black and White would take place. Why? Well for one, he has managed to play less serious detective roles (such as the happy-go-lucky cop in Lucky Stars Go Places as the playboy Lambo where he had an awesome fight scene against Tetsuya Matsui of Japan Action Club) which I think may have inspired Vic Zhou's role as Chen Zai Tien in Black and White.

Vic Zhou's role in Black and White was kind of an amalgamation of Andy Lau's older characters such as Lambo (a semi-comedic one) to being a milder version of Lau Min King (but in Black and White, Vic Zhou wasn't aware of his connections with the San Lian Hui triad) with original writing (nothing's really completely original as long as no plagiarism takes place). I felt like that as if Andy Lau might have been with him behind the scenes.
