At present, douban score is 7.4 points. Many viewers said that as soon as the prelude to "Song of the Sunset" sounded, the eye sockets were involuntarily moist.
Mei Yanfang is known as the "daughter of Hong Kong", a classic golden song, a variety of shapes, the film with a wave of tear-jerking memories to kill, the common memory of a generation on the big screen.
In the movie, Mei Yanfang, who debuted at the age of 19, has a singing career of 15 years. Every time on stage, she asked herself to give back to the audience in the best condition. Mei Yanfang once said "to lead the trend", her bold style broke people's single, stereotypical impression of women in the last century, and several classic avant-garde styles that restore tributes in the film are not outdated today. From the age of 4 and a half on stage to the last performance at the age of 40, the film shows the growth and transformation of this legendary woman, and also conveys Mei Yanfang's life of not yielding to fate and not admitting defeat to illness.
Douban netizen "Roxia" said that the high degree of respect and restoration of the event, data imagery and on-site shooting are highly integrated. Mei Yanfang played by Wang Dani participated in the training camp for this purpose, and she did not expect that there were several songs in the movie that Wang Dani sang by herself. The moment Zhang Guorong appeared on the scene, the whole audience sighed, the two people did not want each other to worry about each other, and the result was that they both died at the most brilliant time. As can be seen from the tone of the film, this film has the meaning of paying special tribute to the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene at that time, using a lot of neon tones.
The film was created by Jiang Zhiqiang, executive producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Liang Lemin, director of the "Cold War" series, and lasted seven years to prepare for production. In addition to the newcomer actor Wang Dani, who plays Mei Jie, there are also Gu Tianle, Lin Jiadong, Yang Qianwei and other franchises, playing Mei Yanfang's close friend or career partner to escort the movie. When Jiang Zhiqiang asked Gu Tianle for help, Gu Tianle considered it for less than two seconds and agreed to it, paying for and contributing to the filming of the movie. Mui Yanfang is the founder and first president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, and Gu Tianle, as the current president, has made efforts in career and charity, which makes people see the continuation of Mei Jie's spirit today.
In order to tell the story of Mei Yanfang, the team showed full sincerity - to restore an era at any cost. Behind the scenes of the all-gold statues such as Director of Photography Pan Yaoming, Art Director Wong Ping Yiu, Stylist Wu Lilu and Sound Design Du Duzhi recreated scenes such as LiYuan garden and Lee Stage, which were familiar to the audience, allowing the audience to return to Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s through the screen.
In 2003, Mei Yanfang left a last wish that Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle Film Company has always remembered. "One day in 2003, Sister Mei asked me to meet and told me that she hoped to make a movie for her. At that time, I consulted with director Zhang Yimou and specially designed a role for her in "Ten Faces Ambush", but unfortunately, because of her departure, she could not realize her last wish. For many years, I have been thinking about her unfulfilled dreams, which is my original intention in making the movie "Mei Yanfang". Jiang Zhiqiang said.
Making a film for Mei Yanfang is a promise that Jiang Zhiqiang has been thinking about for 18 years. Now that the movie is released, he can finally say to Sister Mei: "I mean what I say, I didn't lie to you."
