Released in 2002, Hedong Lion Roar is a costume romantic comedy film directed by Ma Weihao and starring Gu Tianle, Cecilia Cheung, Xu Shaoxiong, Fan Bingbing and others. The theme of the film is taken from the story recorded in Su Dongpo's "Hedong Lion Roar", telling the love story between Yue'e and Chen Jichang, not limited to the story itself, adding many modern elements, the film as a whole is smooth and joyful, and it is a more classic comedy.
During the Song Dynasty, Liu Yue'e, played by Cecilia Cheung, was beautiful as a flower but was ruthless and willful, and she was still unmarried for many years, which could be described as a leftover woman at that time. Once Yue'e happened to meet the dashing poet Chen Jichang, played by Gu Tianle, the beauty finally met her favorite male god, and they had a good feeling for each other.
One day, Su Dongpo, played by Xu Shaoxiong, held a poetry meeting, which may be the most obscene Su Dongpo. Yue'e and Ji Chang reunite again, and the spark of love bursts out. At the banquet, the drunken emperor immediately gave the two marriages. The terrible married life began, and Yue'e hoped that her husband Jackie Chan would often beat Ji Chang and his group of bad friends. Yue'e's concept of love: from now on, you are only allowed to be good to me alone; Spoil me, don't lie to me; Promise me everything you want to do; Everything I say to me must be sincere. Don't lie to me, scold me, care about me; When others bully me, you have to come out to help me at the first time; When I am happy, you have to be happy with me; When I'm not happy, you have to coax me to be happy; Always think I'm the prettiest; In your dreams you will also see me; In your heart there is only me...
Once, during the escort of Yue'e's brother, Ji Chang actually had a one-night stand with the county lord (Fan Bingbing), who pretended to be a "rabbit fairy". At that time, Fan Bingbing was still a supporting role, oh, but now it is not good. Ji Chang cheated on her, put the princess to sleep, and completely lost control. Yue'e was furious and made a big fuss at the palace, and drank the lustful water to cut off all relations with Ji Chang. Later, under the efforts of Ji Chang, he saved this relationship. Ji Chang's love confession: From now on, I only hurt you one, spoil you, will not lie to you, promise you everything, I will do it, every word I say to you, is the truth, do not bully you, do not scold you, believe you, someone bullies you, I will help you at the first time, when you are happy, I will accompany you to be happy, you are not happy, I will also coax you to be happy, always think you are the most beautiful, dreaming will dream of you.
The first half of the film "Hedong Lion Roar" is humorous and funny, especially drawing on the style of "My Savage Girlfriend", designing each bridge section is classic, and the second half touches the audience through sadness. In particular, that love confession became a popular trend. Interested friends can revisit it once.
