A look at the cast list with Jiang Wen, Sophie Marceau, Hu Jun, instantly detonated the expectation value, and then take a closer look, the lead actor is Guan Xiaotong, Sophie Marceau is a supporting role, and instantly feel fearful.
Recently, the domestic super blockbuster "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" released the first trailer, and officially announced that it will be released soon.
I have long heard that "Turandot" has been put on the production schedule, and the shooting was completed from March to July 2018, but the final news has not been announced, and after three years, the trailer has finally been released and said that it is about to appear on the big screen, but the latest schedule has not yet been clarified.
Inspired by Turandot: The Origin of the Spell, Turandot, one of the world's top ten operas, is a co-production fantasy war film.
The director is Zheng Xiaolong, who has directed "The Legend of Mi Yue", the drama version of "Red Sorghum", "The Biography of Harem Zhen Huan", the director's works are mainly BASED ON TV series, and now he has finally directed a blockbuster.
In the new film "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell", Guan Xiaotong is the female number one, playing the most core character Turandot, in the trailer, you can see Turandot hit the hand, should be a master, Guan Xiaotong's action scenes seem to be a lot.
Moreover, it can also be seen that the character of Turandot must not be simple, and can be switched to the appearance of a female ghost in an instant, which looks quite fierce.
The French goddess Sophie Marceau starred in a supporting role: the queen of a small country, willing to be a green leaf, in the trailer, Sophie Marceau made a stunning appearance, the goddess is still moving, the charm is still there.
Jiang Wen played an important role: emperor, the image is a little scary, looks very local, wearing gold and silver, but I don't know why the stylist got him two bundles of thick big braids, the braids are very conspicuous, it looks like a sense of vision, super cute.
Hu Jun starred as a villain: the general, he also has two large braids, but without Jiang Wen's stoutness, he is domineering and leaky as soon as he appears, and he is a very ambitious character, and the general wants to seek power and seize the throne.
The story probably tells that the Great Khanate went out to a small country and brought back the three-colored bracelet after the little king, the princess Turandot was possessed by a spell, and the emperor was bent on freeing Turandot.
At this point, the eager general found a suitable time, ready to use the tricolor bracelet to do things, and an inevitable battle began.
Seeing "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell", I think of "The Mystery of the Dragon Card" starring Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Fleming, Yao Xingtong, etc., which are also co-productions, with a strong cast, but made into a top bad film.
It is also easy to think of Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall", which is also a combination of Eastern and Western elements, and the lineup is also similar, a group of big-name stars give Jing Tian as green leaves.
A worrying domestic blockbuster, with such a luxurious lineup, is certainly a hugely expensive production, but whether it is from the story summary, or from the trailer, stills and other materials, "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" is very likely to hit the street.
