There is less than a month to go, and it is the May Day schedule of the movie, but a recent piece of news shocked people:
Stephen Chow's "Mermaid" is going to be released on May Day?
The origin of the news is that an official film blog posted an article and did an audience survey, mentioning three movies that are "about to be released on May 1", "There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot", "Spending Money at the End of the Road", "Mermaid 2", and distributed posters for three movies.
This made many netizens who cared about Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" excited and couldn't believe their eyes, and some people asked ""Mermaid 2"? May Day?!", expressing their disbelief with a question mark.
After that, the official blog of the film that posted the article was revised to remove the sentence "will be released on May 1", but still retained the votes for three movies, including "Mermaid 2".
It's just that, look at this poster of "Mermaid 2", it was several years ago, less than 1 month from the legendary May Day, under normal circumstances, it takes time for the blockbuster to be announced, so it seems that there is not even the latest poster, and it is almost impossible to release it on May Day.
"Mermaid 2" is not only the expectation of many fans for many years, but also a continuation of Stephen Chow's box office peak (the box office champion "Mermaid" in 2016, with a cumulative box office of 3.386 billion), but now it has been "hidden" for 6 years since the start of filming in 2018, and there is still no accurate news about the release time.
No wonder some netizens left a message saying:
"Mermaid 2" has been selecting people since I was in junior high school, and it has not yet been released after graduating from college in a blink of an eye.
The tone was full of helplessness that had been waiting for many years.
Not only did the audience wait until the flowers were thanked, but even the heroine Lin Yun was in a hurry, several times recently, she was publicly urged in the media, and the phone star asked if the special effects were done.
In a recent TV interview, Lin Yun directly said "I just hope that "Mermaid 2" will be released soon", and she also revealed that there will be rocket elements in the movie.
But when the host asked her: "So is it reasonable that the movie hasn't been released for so long?"
Lin Yun could only guess and said, "I don't know, maybe the amount of special effects is quite large." ”
In fact, "Mermaid 2" has not been released for a long time, far from being as simple as it takes time to make a special effect, its problem is very headache, otherwise even Stephen Chow will not wait for it, and now he has announced that he is preparing to shoot another new film "Shaolin Women's Football".
In "Mermaid 2", the biggest problem is actually the actors: bad artists have made the star miserable.
Affected by the special effects production and the two male stars Wu Moumou and Luo Moumou, who later became bad artists, "Mermaid 2" had a difficult birth for 6 years, and it has not been released so far, and there has been no more follow-up news.
There was news of the reshoot in the middle, and some netizens said, "I heard that I was not satisfied with the reshoot several times, the comedy effect was not up to standard, and it took too long."
Indeed, as early as March 2018, Stephen Chow appeared in Shenzhen in a low-key manner to shoot "Mermaid 2", and filmed in the amusement park.
At that time, Lin Yun, the heroine of "The Mermaid", posted an article exposing the news of her "joining the group", and obtained the official "certification" of "Hello Shanshan" forwarded by Stephen Chow's assistant, confirming that she will continue to play the role in "Mermaid 2".
After that, Lin Yun was met on the road in Shenzhen, and the news that she was filming "Mermaid 2" in Shenzhen was confirmed again.
"Mermaid 2", which was filmed in the amusement park, was closely watched by many enthusiastic fans, and many people rushed to the filming location, but the scene was already a shooting mode that was not allowed to enter. A cordon was set up at the scene, and there were strong men guarding the shooting content.
However, the director Stephen Chow, who came out of the filming location at that time, was still photographed: always low-key and simple style, wearing his favorite sports hoodie and sweatpants, wearing a baseball cap and mask, or the iconic hair color of silver gray, slightly different, this time the star wore a pair of very trendy shoes.
"Mermaid 2" once again continues the amusement park scene in "Mermaid", and it can be seen that Stephen Chow has a "soft spot" for amusement parks.
In "The Mermaid", the amusement park is the place where Shanshan, played by Lin Yun, and Liu Xuan, played by Deng Chao, "date", which is joyful and romantic. I don't know, what surprises will Stephen Chow create in the film this time?
The actor of "Mermaid 2" was also changed from Deng Chao to Allen, who was also photographed on the set at that time, and later played one of the "Four Beauties" in "Journey to the West", and later played one of the "Four Beauties" in "Journey to the West", and also confirmed to the media that Allen replaced Deng Chao in the first part and played the actor Liu Xuan.
Later, Allen also publicly expressed his admiration for Xingye, mentioning that he was excited to appear in Xingye's movie.
Some people speculate that on the one hand, it may be that the special effects of the movie take time, and on the other hand, it may be related to the legendary "bad artists" Wu Moumou and Luo Moumou who participated in the filming of the film, they have all starred in many of Stephen Chow's movies, and they also starred in the first "Mermaid".
The synopsis of the story of "Mermaid 2" is: Long Tianna and Long Jianfei appeared with the "wormhole plan" that can travel through space at will, Liu Xuan returned to the mall, and the mermaid Shanshan became an astronaut by mistake, and behind the gradually entangled four-corner relationship, there is still a shocking conspiracy.
Previously, someone left a message on the Internet saying that Wu Moumou was the second male lead, and said that "the only remedy, all his scenes are flashing, and large-scale reshooting". In the introduction before "Mermaid 2", Long Jianfei appeared, and this role was played by Wu Moumou in "Mermaid".
Therefore, if you really want to reshoot, you must have to change people to play it, or the story characters change, no matter what, it is a very headache for a movie that has already been made.
The release of "Mermaid 2" on May Day seems to be basically a false shot, so when will it be released?
In this regard, someone left a message on the Internet in February this year, revealing that "I had dinner with an actor in the first part two days ago, and I asked about it, saying that it was a summer file."
It's true, I hope it's true.
Because, everyone has been waiting for Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" for too long.
