After two years, the movie "Lyceum Theatre" is finally finalized, and in a few days, the film will meet the audience. Although the release process is very tortuous, but for this movie, many audiences are looking forward to it, Maoyan "wants to see the number of people" nearly 100,000, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie, is also quite high.
"Lyceum Theatre" premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2019 and received excellent reviews, and this film was also scheduled to be released in the mainland in 2019, but it was eventually withdrawn, but although the shooting and production time has exceeded two years, some films have stood the test of time, such as the films directed by Lou Ye.
Lou Ye's film is very stylish, his film will not be too macroscopic, there is very little personal heroism, in the infinite reverie, mixed with the brand of reality, there is a more thorough display of human nature, Lou Ye is especially good at capturing the emotions of the characters, his films although the box office is not very high, but won a lot of awards, such as "Clouds Made of Rain in the Wind", "Tuina" and other films, have won heavyweight awards.
When filming "Lyceum Theatre", Lou Ye incorporated elements of various genre films, and the final film presented a very film noir temperament, the story of the film takes place in 1941, telling the story of the female star Yu Yan while starring in a new stage play, while collecting secret information for the Allies.
"Lyceum Theatre" has the component of espionage, but it is also mixed with the love and desire of a female star, Lou Ye did not deliberately enlarge a certain part, but integrated sensibility and rationality, and the characters displayed in front of the audience are more plump and three-dimensional.
In addition to looking forward to the shooting elements that Lou Ye injected in "Lyceum Theatre", this film attracted the attention of the audience, as well as its starring actors.
"Lyceum Theatre" starred by Gong Li and Zhao Youting, co-starring Oda Cerjean, Pascal Gregory, Tom Rasziha, Huang Xiangli, Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Songwen, this cast can be said to be quite strong, especially Gong Li, many audiences are also very much looking forward to her performance in the movie.
Speaking of Gong Li, the audience's first impression is that after the international film, "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", "Zhou Yu's Train" and other movies have laid her position in the film industry, this time in the "Lyceum Theatre" she played the heroine Yu Yan, is a very complex role, Yu Yan returned to Shanghai, ostensibly to play the ex-boyfriend's stage drama works, but in fact, she also has hidden tasks.
On the stage, Yu Yan is a female star with a variety of styles, offstage, she has a more sassy side, can control various styles, can show the different aura of the characters, the audience is very confident in Gong Li's acting skills.
And the emotional drama of "Lyceum Grand Theatre" is also a major attraction, Gong Li and Zhao Youting play a pair of separated lovers in the movie, Gong Li is actually 19 years older than Zhao Youting, but from the exposed trailer clip, the emotional drama of the two people is very delicate and has no sense of violation.
From "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "Ideal City" to "Leper Hero" and "Di Renjie's Four Heavenly Kings", Zhao Youting's achievements in film and television dramas are also good, this time he plays Tan Na in "Lyceum Grand Theatre" is a director, in the movie, how Zhao Youting will play with Gong Li, the audience is also very much looking forward to.
In addition to Gong Li, Zhao Youting, Oda Chejang, Pascal Gregory, Tom Rasziha's participation, making the whole film more international, and the joining of Huang Xiangli, Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Songwen and other powerful factions also made the audience more confident in the quality of the entire film of "Lanxin Grand Theatre".
The director has his own style, the actors are very charismatic, and the framing of "Lyceum Theatre" is also very careful, the shooting screen in the film is very age-sensitive and textured, and every frame in the film is almost a restoration of Shanghai in the 40s of the last century, and the atmosphere of the whole movie will not make the audience feel that the play is out.
The movie "Lyceum Theatre" may not necessarily achieve too high a box office after its release, but Lou Ye directed it, coupled with the interpretation of Gong Li, Zhao Youting and other powerful factions, the reputation of this movie should not be too bad. Each director has his own shooting style, and Lou Ye's film's exploration of human nature and the sketching of the character's emotions are still very worth watching.
