On October 14, according to Hong Kong media reports, the new film directed by Mai Junlong invited Liu Qingyun and Lin Jiaxin to play the male and female protagonists. It is reported that the film is a suspense ghost film with a fashion theme, but now there are problems in the production of the film, and filming has not started due to financial problems.
The production cost of the film is estimated at about 40 million Hong Kong dollars, but because the film is not considered to be released in the mainland, well-known Hong Kong film and television companies such as Emperor and Shaw feel that the risk is too high, so they have not invested.
But netizens are still optimistic about the quality of the movie. Liu Qingyun's veteran film emperor's acting skills naturally needless to say, in recent years, he is also very prolific, and Gu Tianle co-starred in the science fiction blockbuster "Tomorrow's War" is expected to be released in 2020, and Andy Lau's "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" has also been scheduled to be released on December 24, 2020.
Lin Jiaxin's strength should not be underestimated, with the wonderful performance in the movie "Man Forty", Lin Jiaxin has long been awarded the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress and Best New Actor. Although she retired for a while because she was pregnant and had a child, the comeback of "100-Day Farewell" and "Sweeping Drugs 2" made the audience pay attention to this beautiful and talented actress again.
Director Mai Junlong is also talented. The 36-year-old is from a wealthy background, can sing and act and direct, from singer to actor, and then from actor to director, every step of the transformation has been greatly praised. In 2013, his directorial debut Zombie received numerous accolades as soon as it was released, and was nominated for 9 Academy Awards.
These achievements are inseparable from Mai Junlong's serious attitude of pursuing perfection. His 2018 film "Fenglin Volcano" has not been released so far, and although the actor's role has long been filmed, post-production is very time-consuming.
The film's producer responded that Mai Junlong's requirements were very high, and he could only spend more time to achieve the desired effect of the director in the later stage, and now the production cost of the film has been overspended.
The cast of "Wind Forest Volcano" is very luxurious, Jin Chengwu, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun and other people have joined in, hoping that the film can be released as soon as possible, not to live up to the hard work of all the crew, and also wish Mai Junlong's new film to start shooting smoothly.
