Lou Ye's new work "Lyceum Theatre", which is scheduled to be released on October 15, exposes the ultimate trailer. The ultimate trailer takes the perspective of everyone, the famous actor Yu Yan played by Gong Li as a clue, the identity is a mystery, the fate is unpredictable, the curtain is opened after the gunshot, and the fate choice is about to open...
"Lyceum Theatre" tells the story of the famous actress Yu Yan (Gong Li) who returned to Shanghai in 1941 to star in the drama "Saturday Novel" directed by her old love Tan Na (Zhao Youting), but it triggered the close attention of various forces to her movements... The film adopts a dual narrative, the stage space and the real space are interlaced, and the structure of the play and the intricate character relationships are fascinating.
In order to restore the real context of the multi-lingual Shanghai Concession in that era, director Lou Ye specially invited a number of powerful international superstars such as Oda Chejang, Pascal Gregory, Tom Rasziha and Nakajima Bu, to recreate the real and complex individuals wrapped up in the big era across the same stage.
In the trailer, the cryptographic engineer Furutani Saburo played by Oda Chejang is jealous of Yu Yan's identity, the adoptive father played by Pascal Gregory is the object of Yu Yan's help, Shapil played by Tom Rasziha is secretly staged "eavesdropping", and the ex-husband Ni Zeren, played by Zhang Songwen, instantly changes his face and roars at Yu Yan, "Who does not know that the most unsafe is there", immediately pointing out the life and death line in the context of the era.
The final trailer released this time also revealed many high-energy action scenes in the film, Gong Li's action scenes are flowing, and the accurate shooting with a gun in both hands is adrenaline rushing and addictive. The old love Tan Na, played by Zhao Youting, said affectionately at the end of the trailer, "No matter what happens, no matter what changes, no matter what you see and hear, I will wait for you here", combined with the background of the film in the chaotic world, which is particularly moving.
The movie "Lyceum Theatre" is adapted from the Hongying novel "The Death of Shanghai" and the novel "Shanghai" by Heng Guangli, directed by Lou Ye and written and produced by Ma Yingli, telling the story of the life-and-death confrontation between nine characters in the six days before the outbreak of the Pacific War, when the Shanghai Lyceum Theater rehearsed the new play "Saturday Novel"...
