In 2003, Mei Yanfang endured the torment of illness, wore a wedding dress in a concert to sing, married herself to the stage and music, and died soon after, triggering countless nostalgia and lamentations, after 18 years, the biopic "Mei Yanfang" will be released on November 12, 2021, recreating the style and legend of popular diva in light and shadow.
The film is directed by Liang Lemin, starring Wang Dani and Gu Tianle, with special themes and a complex of national remembrance, so that it was not only praised by the media and the audience during the screening, many stars also sent articles calling, even the story witness, the archetypal character Liu Peiji also gave high praise, thinking that Wang Danni portrayed the gods and handed himself over to the movie.
However, in the one-sided praise, there are also controversial voices. Because the film uses a lot of space to show the friendship between Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong, it triggers the dissatisfaction of her brother's fans, and some fans send long articles questioning the untruthfulness of the plot, and there are traces of pulling and editing.
The zhang guorong fan club member named Fei Fei Xiaosi, the text is clearly adjusted, and a number of plot inaccuracies are pointed out.
First, in the film, Mei met Zhang after winning the 1982 rookie competition.
In fact, according to Mei Yanfang's previous self-report, the two had a cooperation in 80 years, and in 1981, Zhang and Guan Zhilin starred in the TV series "Sweet Twenty Four Tastes", Mei had a cameo appearance.
Second, in the film, Zhang sang "Silent Upstream" in 1982.
In fact, the song was only released in 1983 with the album "The Wind Continues to Blow".
Third, in the film, Zhang's hat is thrown back during the performance, and he is comforted in the background about how to face the audience.
In fact, according to Zheng Danrui, Zhang Guorong said at the time, "I want him to regret that he did not ask for my hat today." "Sunny confidence.
Fourth, in the film, Mei and Zhang have been friends for a lifetime.
In fact, the two rarely intersected after the 1990s, and Mei had more contacts with Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang, Zeng Zhiwei and Andy Lau. The film focuses on Mei Zhang's friendship and is suspected of bundling consumption.
Fifth, the implicit expression in the play is that because of Mei's help, Zhang got more scenes in "Rouge Buckle".
In fact, according to the interview of the parties, it was the screenwriter Li Bihua who, out of his long-standing appreciation, added twelve less scenes to Zhang.
Sixth, the film appears in the link of zhang's posthumous visitation.
There is actually no such link.
The fan finally said that Zhang Guorong "after 18 years of leaving, I still have to do my best for this already crippled film industry, I hope you will rest in peace, and don't be disturbed by people with hearts who carry the banner of tribute and practice consumption."
Zhang Guorong's fans expressed dissatisfaction with the bundled consumption and untrue plot of "Mei Yanfang", which is excusable, but the movie is a movie after all, even if it is a biopic or documentary, the creators will also carry out a certain degree of artistic processing according to the material and facts, perhaps they are distressed that the idol is consumed, but from the perspective of the general audience, good looks are the only hard truth, and moderate adaptation is harmless.
Now that "Mei Yanfang" is about to be officially released on November 12, does the movie have "the reality of consumption under the banner of tribute"? Or you need to watch it yourself and then judge.
