What does this movie have to do with the sacrificial anti-narcotics cop? Let's comb through it from scratch.
As early as May 2012, Xiaoxiang Morning Post reported that a new film describing the nightlife of modern urban men and women, "Beijing Evening Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties", would be launched in the near future, and the film's producer at the time, Teng Hu, revealed that the director had circled the young director Zhang Lijia.

In July 2012, the cast assistant director of the crew issued a group training, announcing that "Beijing Late Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties" will start in Beijing on August 5, 2012, and the director is Zhang Lijia. Note that at this time, the name of the house is not related to this project.

Five years later, on September 28, 2017, the film entitled "Beijing Late Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties" was successfully approved by the Film Bureau [Filing Project Number: Film and Drama Preparation [2017] No. 3119].
More than a month later, on The Double Eleven, that is, on November 11, 2017, "Beijing Evening Nine Dynasties Five" was officially launched at the Beijing Workers' Sports Philharmonic Bar, and an actress of the crew posted on social media that "Congratulations directed by Fang Zuming, starring Chen Bailin and Guo Caijie, and Jackie Chan's friendship cameo In the cinema movie "Beijing Evening Nine Dynasties Five" started..." The picture is the starting poster of this movie.

On January 30, 2018, nearly 3 months after the start-up, "Beijing Evening Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties" was officially launched, and Fang Zuming posted on social media: "The first work is finished, Happy Birthday Mom." The picture is a group photo of the young Fang Zuming and his mother Lin Fengjiao.

In the summer of 2018, at the national theater domestic film promotion conference, "Beijing Evening Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties" released a trailer for the first time, and many film distributors and theater managers saw that in addition to several leading actors, the film also had a cameo lineup of jackie Chan, Nicholas Tse, Zeng Zhiwei, Yingda and other super powerful wrists.
Time to January 2020, "Beijing Evening 9 Dynasty 5" officially kicked off the prelude to publicity, the official poster released by the film shows that the film was supervised by Zhang Lijia, written by Xiahou Yunshan, starring Chen Bailin, Guo Caijie, Xiahou Yunshan, Wei Tour, Jiang Chao, etc., but there was no director's name on the poster.

By the end of 2020, many viewers saw such a press release: "An urban love movie describing young people working hard in big cities "Beijing Love Picture Book" was officially finalized on March 12, 2021, the film starred Chen Bailin, Guo Caijie, Xiahou Yunshan, starring Wei Tour, Jiang Chao, Jackie Chan, Xie Tingfeng, Zeng Zhiwei special starring, Yingda, Yingzhuang, Wang Hailin, Zhou Hui, Jin Chi, Wu Qixian and other people starred in friendship, from different angles, showing the life picture of the North Drifter..." Through the description in the news and the poster below, it is not difficult to see that this "Beijing Love Picture Book" is "Beijing Evening 9 Dynasties 5", but this name change still cannot make the film smoothly released.
The final poster released after changing its name to "Beijing Love Illustrated Book"
Until two weeks ago, that is, on November 24, 2021, a new film finalization news began to brush the screen: the love movie "We Who Were Once in Love" directed by Zhang Xiaolei and starring Chen Bailin and Guo Caijie will land in theaters on December 17, and after a few days to see "Manslaughter 2" advanced to December 17, the film side quickly moved the schedule to December 10.

This time, the new publicity team, and the previous film side of the idea is not the same, they will be the film and "Beijing Evening 9 Dynasty 5", "Beijing Love Picture Book" made a complete cut, in addition to the two male and female protagonists Chen Bailin and Guo Caijie can not erase, the rest of the elements that have appeared are all erased - Zhang Lijia's producer, Jackie Chan, Xie Tingfeng, Zeng Zhiwei, Yingda, Yingzhuang and other cameo big names are all hidden, the smartest or add a director name "Zhang Xiaolei", that is, the original assistant director of the film, was "promoted out of the box" For the film director. After such a series of operations, the film finally got the release license, so it was natural to be released.
But why is it so difficult for a film about the love life of the North Drift to be released?
The answer is the ancestral name of the house.
Fang Zuming apologized at the development conference
On August 18, 2014, Fang Zuming and Ke Zhendong were arrested in Beijing on suspicion of drug abuse, and the police found more than 100 grams of marijuana in their residence, after which the media exposed that Fang Zuming had a history of drug abuse for 8 years, and the first drug use was in the Netherlands;
On September 17, 2014, the Dongcheng District Procuratorate of Beijing Municipality arrested Fang Zuming on suspicion of accommodating others to take drugs;
On December 22 of the same year, the People's Procuratorate of Dongcheng District of Beijing Municipality prosecuted Fang Zuming for the crime of accommodating others to take drugs.
On January 9, 2015, the Dongcheng District People's Court in Beijing sentenced Fang Zuming to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 yuan in accordance with law;
On February 13, 2015, Fang Zuming was released after completing his sentence.
Stay away from drug propaganda charts
By combing the timeline of the birth of this movie, and then looking at the timeline of Fang Zuming's life trajectory, it is not difficult for us to find that in the three years from August 2012 to February 2015, When Fang Zuming was released from prison, this movie had little to do with Fang Zuming, because the first half of Fang Zuming was still soaking in the bar of Beijing Workers' Stadium, enjoying a comfortable life as a top star second generation, and the second half accidentally entered the cell and experienced the low point of life from "star second generation" to "prisoner".
After Fang Zuming was released from prison, director Zhang Lijia handed over the film director who he had prepared for more than 3 years to Fang Zuming. There are two main reasons for this, on the one hand, the state strictly prohibits the comeback of bad artists, so being a director hidden behind the scenes may effectively avoid risks, and can also make everyone feel that he has "reformed himself" and chose to start over; on the other hand, through Fang Zuming, director Zhang Lijia got to know Jackie Chan, and handed over his long-time science fiction big movie project "Blood of the Machine" to Jackie Chan, did not expect that the project was going well, Zhang Lijia had no time to take care of or as a thank you, and handed "Beijing Evening 9 Dynasty 5" to Fang Zuming. The two achieved a mutually beneficial win-win effect.
Launch of the movie "Blood of the Machine"
On July 28, 2016, the action science fiction film "Blood of the Machine", with an investment of up to 400 million yuan, held a launch conference at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and director Zhang Lijia and the main creators such as Jackie Chan, Ouyang Nana, Xiahou Yunshan and other main creators gathered together.
On December 22, 2017, "Blood of the Machine" was released in Chinese mainland, more than a month later, the final box office of the film was fixed at 305 million yuan, according to the data of the professional version of Maoyan Film, the box office of the film was only 106 million, although Jackie Chan Film has a certain overseas appeal, when it is no longer the past, the domestic box office revenue of "Blood of the Machine" is expected to account for more than 80% of the film's revenue. So the film's net loss is at least $250 million.
"Blood of the Machine" set a record for the lowest box office of Jackie Chan's film in seven years, and the film's Douban score was 4.6 points, which was also one of the lowest rated films in Jackie Chan's starring works. Most importantly, starting with this movie, the box office trend of Jackie Chan's movie began to decline all the way.

On February 5, 2019, the Spring Festival release of "Detective Pu Songling" finally grossed only 161 million;
Released in August of the same year, "The Mystery of the Dragon Card" was even more tragic, with a total box office of only 20.82 million;
In "Vanguard", which was released before the National Day in 2020, Jackie Chan once again returned to the field of action comedy that he was best at, but the total box office remained at 294 million.

Then there is now this "Beijing Evening 9 Dynasty 5", no, it should be called "We Once Loved Each Other", which will be released tomorrow.
One person who cares more about the film's achievements and evaluations than the producer may be Jackie Chan.
Although there is no name "Fang Zu Name" in this movie, for the sake of his son, Jackie Chan has not been running around in private in recent years, and his career has also plummeted.

Some fan netizens defended: "Man, there will always be mistakes, everyone should give him a chance!" ”
But just as the People's Daily micro-comment: If drug trafficking is tolerated, how can it be worthy of the youth and enthusiasm of countless anti-drug policemen? If you defend the drug star again, how can you be worthy of the sacrificial anti-drug police?
Similarly, everyone will ask: If this movie is released, is it worthy of the sacrifice of the anti-drug police?
Finally, there is the name of the ancestor, if nothing else, are you worthy of your father?
