The movie "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" is being screened, as a work adapted from the classic IP, it has attracted attention not only to how the Eastern story from the Western perspective is interpreted in a new way, but also to its particularly luxurious cast.
Guan Xiaotong, the heroine who plays Princess Turandot, Sophie Marceau, who plays the queen, Jiang Wen, who plays the Great Khan, and Hu Jun, who plays General Po Yan, are all popular and powerful actors, especially the joining of the famous French actress Sophie Marceau, who starred in Chinese films for the first time, which is even more surprising.
As an internationally renowned actress, almost no one who loves movies knows her name. Looking at his acting experience and portfolio, you can find that from "Fangfang", "Braveheart", "Lying Woman", "Anna Karenina" to "007 Black Sun Crisis", "Loyalty", "Luvre Phantom", almost every one of them is a classic, and most of the cooperation is also a big-name director and a well-known team, why did you participate in this "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" this time? And it is not the protagonist, and the role is only a pitiful little.
It is said that the crew contacted her through a Chinese film producer, she read the English script and gladly agreed to take over the role, and during the filming period was particularly dedicated, did not leave when there was no play of her own, just waited on the sidelines, so as to facilitate the director's on-call.
It can be seen that she is really moved by the script, so the unique oriental elements in the film must be an important reason.
Turandot: The Origin of the Spell is a film that reconstructs the Eastern story from a Western perspective, innovatively adding a tricolor bracelet and a magic spell plot, realizing the gorgeous transformation from the classic masterpiece of Puccini's opera to the Chinese big screen.
As screenwriter Wang Xiaoping said, the adapted script, especially the adaptation of classic IP, is actually "much more difficult than the original". In this film, the biggest challenge is how to make the values and love concept in Turandot's story completely return to the East, and how to integrate traditional Chinese aesthetics into every detail.
Although there were many difficulties, the main creative team led by director Zheng Xiaolong and screenwriter Wang Xiaoping successfully crossed this obstacle and finally realized the dream, so that China's excellent traditional cultural elements blossomed everywhere in the film, truly integrated into that era, and integrated into the magnificent story.
Brilliant fireworks bloom in the air again and again, and the exquisite flying dragons, lifelike phoenixes, simple and beautiful lanterns, realistic paper umbrellas, vivid butterflies and other colorful colors decorate the sky and create a picturesque background atmosphere for the development of the story.
The stunning shuttle textile dance, ingenious, unique design, creative novelty, reflects the developed silk weaving technology and rich silk culture.
The shadow puppet play at the corner of the market is simple and nostalgic, which instantly brings the audience into the oriental artistic conception.
Swordplay runs through the film, not only promoting the development of the plot, but also becoming a booster to ignite the love of the male and female protagonists, so that the cold Turandot and Carraf approach each other in the day-to-day sword training competition, naturally breeding feelings, which not only makes the story romantic and beautiful, but also gives it a different oriental color.
There are many such elements, and details such as armor, weapons, architectural styles, and royal gardens all contain an unknown Chinese charm.
The Chinese story with the ancient Chinese culture is the original interpretation and shaping of the work "Turandot", and I believe that this novel art form must have an extraordinary attraction to Sophie Marceau, after all, Western films have been filmed one after another, and the passion and freshness will naturally fade. What's more, she is no stranger to Chinese culture, and as early as 2014, she was invited to appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Horse.
I believe that this oriental element is not only a unique charm for Sophie Marceau, but also a visual feast for the audience, and when you walk into the theater, with the blessing of the big screen, 3D glasses and sound, this shocking beauty will be even stronger.
