Movie poster



Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing Street Love Fight


Shinjuku Incident, due to be released in April, has attracted wide attention because it is directed by the famous director Er Dongsheng and brings together many popular stars such as Jackie Chan, Wu Yanzu, Fan Bingbing, Xu Jinglei and so on. However, this release is limited to South East Asia and Hong Kong, and mainland audiences have not been able to enjoy the film.


  In "Shinjuku Incident," Fan Bingbing will play Jackie Chan’s girlfriend, a man who is very assertive, enthusiastic on the outside but lonely on the inside. This is also Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing’s first collaboration on the big screen. Fan Bingbing and Jackie Chan, who are on the run, meet in Kabukicho, Japan, and stage a poignant and romantic love story. In the film, Fan Bingbing brings a group of young girls to make a living under the power struggle of Japanese gangsters, which is a far cry from the bright and beautiful image he has played in the past.


  In this play, Japanese lines are a new challenge for Fan Bingbing. Fan Bingbing learns things very quickly and has a strong ability to imitate, so the large Japanese lines he just gave her the day before have been memorized the next day, and can be spoken fluently during filming. But Fan Bingbing still admits that learning Japanese is still a bit difficult. Recently, Fan Bingbing has been teaching English, makeup, and changing scenes. In short, all the time she can use during work breaks is practiced hard with foreign teachers. She said that she actually wasted a lot of time while waiting for the play, so she hopes to use her time to enrich herself through learning.


  "Shinjuku Incident," a film called Jackie Chan’s transformation, also gathers Naoto Takenaka, Gao Jie, Kato Yaya, Qian Jiale, Lu Huiguang, Qin Pei, Lin Xue, Kurata Baozhao and other Chinese and Japanese movie stars. It can be said that the lineup is prosperous.

Jackie Chan exposes his 5-year new film plan, Cai Mingliang intends to invite Andy Lau to film

    Movie Network News On the evening of November 23rd, the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards were announced in Taipei, and various awards were won. Jackie Chan and Cheng Jiaban won the Best Action Design Award, and he smiled when he won the Golden Horse, revealing his film plan within five years. Cai Mingliang won the Best Director Award, and his favorite Li Kangsheng was also named the Best Actor. Both were recognized by the Golden Horse, and Cai Mingliang also laughed that Andy Lau could also make his own plays.

Cai Mingliang: Andy Lau can also film my play

    Previously, Cai Mingliang’s new film won the grand prize of the 70th Venice International Film Festival, and this time he won two heavyweight awards at the awards ceremony at his doorstep. He sighed with a lot of emotion, "It’s not easy. With a sense of glory, I’m not so excited to win awards abroad." At this point, he choked up, saying that his film has finally been recognized by Taiwanese audiences, and years of hard work have not been in vain.

    After Cai Mingliang got the best director, he said that if Li Kangsheng missed the best actor, he would give him the trophy. Fortunately, in the end, his love will become emperor as he wished. Cai Mingliang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile that it may not be just for Li Kangsheng in the future.

Jackie Chan: I will be very busy in the next five or six years

    20 years ago, Jackie Chan won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor twice in a row. This time, he was shortlisted for the Best Action Design Award for "Zodiac". After successfully winning the Golden Horse Award, he bluntly said that making action movies is more fulfilling, "Every time there is a nomination for the Golden Horse, I will come. This award is the highest award as an action director. The actor may not be happy with this, but I am very happy because the martial finger can be accepted by others." Jackie Chan said that in fact, he did not like making literary films at all. "When I was young, I didn’t like literary films. I either cried or laughed. When I was filming, I cried for a day. Er Dongsheng asked me to cry, then cry, and then click. I would rather go to the jumping scene."

    Although Jackie Chan said that "Zodiac" is his last big action movie, but the next part of Jackie Chan’s play is actually quite a lot of action, "I will shoot" Cross-Border Tracking "soon, and then Li Rengang is" Soldiers from the Sky ", and Zhang Yimou’s new film, I will be busy in the next five or six years." He also revealed that "Cross-Border Tracking" will be filmed in the United States, Mongolia, Sichuan, China and many other places.

Li XuejianWhat is it?Feng XiaogangInvited me ten years ago

    The competition for the best supporting actor is also very fierce. Li Xuejian defeated Huang Bo, Tong Dawei and others to win the trophy. At the age of 59, he bluntly said that he likes "the little golden horse". "I like the little golden horse from the bottom of my heart, because I am a horse, which is a mascot and fate. I have liked horses since I was a child, and my original wish was to be a cavalry, but later when I was shot, I was thrown by a horse, so I didn’t dare to ride a horse." Li Xuejian also said that he wanted to put the trophy in "the most beloved place." When asked where it was, he gestured with his hand and signaled to keep it in his heart.

    This time, with his performance in China, Li Xuejian won the trophy. He revealed that the director Feng Xiaogang had actually found himself ten years ago and starred in the role of Li Peiji. "He (referring to Feng Xiaogang) prepared this play more than ten years ago, but he has not approved it. He found me ten years ago, and after four or five years, he was not allowed to shoot.

Chen ZheyiWhat is it?The mainland has been submitted for trial

    The Singaporean film "Mom and Dad Away" was the biggest dark horse at the Golden Horse Awards this year, winning four awards for Best Feature Film, Best New Director, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay in one fell swoop. Director and screenwriter Chen Zheyi was only 29 years old this year, and he was soft-hearted when he won the award. "I just came here to shake hands with Ang Lee, but I still didn’t dare." He also said that he was dumbfounded to be shortlisted this time, and the other four competitors for Best Feature Film are very strong, compared to his own film, which is too "petite". "Golden Horse is so kind to me, how can I get so much? There will be pressure."

    Chen Zheyi revealed that "Mom and Dad are not at home" was filmed in Singapore for three years, and his wife went to school in London. During this period, she ran from both ends, and the cost was not small in addition to hard work. "I flew there once, and my directing fee was gone, and I was very poor. I got married at the age of 25, and now I have been married for 4 years. My wife said that there are still 3 years, and after 3 years, you have to earn a little money, or you will give up [making movies]."

    In addition, Chen Zheyi also revealed that the copyright of "Mom and Dad Are Not at Home" in the mainland has been sold and has entered the stage of review, but whether it can be released is still unknown.

From Sun Yaowei to Wu Mengda, why did "Fighting Demons in Chang’an" attract so many "old faces"?

After watching the movie "Changan Fighting Demons", some audience members exclaimed: "My God! My youth is back! Why are so many familiar faces and old faces appearing one by one." The main content of the movie’s story is what the title tells everyone – in Changan City, Changan goes to fend off demons. Li Changan, the little chef who accidentally got the artifact, finally saved the people of Changan City after continuous struggle and test.

The actor who plays the male lead, Li Changan, is the actor Bao Jianfeng, whom the audience has not seen for a long time. Speaking of this handsome and handsome actor, it is rare that he has ever starred in any film and television dramas. Previously, he has also starred in many classics that impressed many audiences in their childhood, such as "The Supreme Beauty" and "See Another Curtain of Dreams". Although he only starred as the second male in these dramas, his appearance has always been very online, which does not prevent him from becoming one of the childhood memories of the audience.

There is also Sun Yaowei, who played the villain, who was once recognized by the Hong Kong media as one of the four little kings. "Oolong Breaking Through Love" and "Princess Huaiyu" are also precious childhood memories for many people. In addition, there are veteran actors such as Luo Jiaying and Wu Mengda, who do not need to list their works. As soon as they see their faces, the audience will understand them all.

This made one wonder why this movie attracted so many veteran actors.

The first reason is that one of the directors of this film is Li Lichi, who has worked with Zhou Xingchi many times. His films such as "King of Comedy", "God of Cookery", "Shaolin Football", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang" and "Domestic Lingling Paint" are all well received and well received. Therefore, we are not at all surprised that there are supporting roles in Chow Xingchi’s previous films, such as Wu Mengda’s appearance.

Secondly, it is because the characters in the script can attract them and make them feel that the role is tailor-made for them, or that the role is an experience they have never had before, that they are willing to play.

Take the nearly 70-year-old Wu Mengda, Uncle Da, for example, the character he plays is willing to self-destruct his cultivation for the common people in the end, thus saving the world. Such a profound sense of human nature cannot be easily brought to the audience, but only Uncle Da plays, the audience can feel full of true feelings. When Wu Mengda appears in the movie, it is still what we remember. It seems that he is an old demon suppressor with profound Taoism, who has "exquisite" words and deeds, and eating a shabu meat hot pot is also different, but occasionally he will drop the chain, resulting in a series of laughs, and finally played a decisive role at a critical moment. Although it is Wu Mengda’s usual routine and setting, it still reminds the audience of the memories of that year. Sure enough, a classic is a classic, and only Uncle Da can bring us this feeling.

Of course, in addition to the supporting role blessed by Wu Mengda, which brought the audience a sincere humanity, this movie is a rare plot in which the protagonist hangs up at the end. The heroine committed suicide for love, sacrificed herself, and sacrificed everything for peace. The movie goes smoothly, and the protagonist sacrifices himself naturally as the plot develops. Compared with the cheap means of forcibly earning tears, it reflects the depth of human nature that the screenwriter pays attention to when polishing the script.

Li Changan, the male protagonist who can make the heroine willing to sacrifice himself for love, is an ordinary little chef. For love, he became a demon suppressor under various coincidences, and wanted to prove himself. Such characters can be seen everywhere in the Jin Yong film and television dramas we have seen before. The little character wears the protagonist’s halo, takes the golden finger, and has been hanging all the way since then, constantly upgrading and fighting monsters, and finally laying down the boss, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the peak of life. Although such stories are old-fashioned, but in good conscience, the audience sometimes likes such stories. After all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and no one wants to add blockages to their hearts. This is the plot that everyone likes to hear.

Moreover, this did not mean that the male protagonist was really useless, relying entirely on the protagonist’s aura. In fact, many times the male protagonist’s meticulous intelligence was hidden in every corner of the plot, laying the groundwork for his future success, and it would not make people feel that he could become the "only" to save the world.

For many audiences, some old actors are indeed no longer seen. Now that they can come out and make a new movie, it is nothing more than allowing them to meet the characters and books that really suit them, so that they have the opportunity to show their faces. Therefore, audiences who want to relive their old dreams can try to see if this movie can still bring back the feeling they once remembered. Text/Moon Arc

Changan and NIO invest in establishing a new energy vehicle technology company

"Car Market Overview" is a self-media subsidiary of Car Market Story, always focusing on all auto companies at home and abroad.

Recently, we learned from the Qichacha official that on October 20, Avita New Energy Vehicle Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was established, the legal representative is Ma Xinjie, the registered capital is 10 million yuan, and the business scope includes: auto parts research and development; conference and exhibition services; enterprise management consulting, etc.

Qichacha’s equity penetration shows that the company is 100% controlled by Avita Technology (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., which is a holding company of Changan Automobile (000625) and NIO.

It is worth noting that, according to previous information, Avita Technology will operate completely in the market, operate independently, develop independently, and join hands with Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times to create new products. Previously, the expected carrier company for Changan, Huawei, and Ningde Times to jointly build cars is Avita Technology. This new high-end independent brand launched by Changan will run in parallel with the existing Changan brand.

On May 20, 2021, Chongqing Changan Automobile joint stock company (hereinafter referred to as "Changan Automobile" or "Company") holding subsidiary Changan NIO New Energy Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. has officially changed its name to Avita Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Avita Technology"). Avita Technology will be fully market-oriented, operate independently, and develop independently. Together with Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times, we will create a world-leading, autonomous and controllable intelligent electric connected vehicle platform (CHN), create a rich range of intelligent vehicle products, and build a "people-car-family" smart life and smart energy ecosystem.

According to the official, the name "Avatar" is taken from the English Avatar, which means virtual avatar in the game or online world. Avatar Technology has given the word a deeper meaning, that is, to create another self in the intelligent parallel world for each user, knowing "you" worries, understanding "you" thinking, and giving "you" what you want. Based on this, Avatar Technology is committed to creating a new generation of intelligent end point beyond the mobile space through future-forward design aesthetics, discreet driving experience and emotional human-machine interaction. Avatar, yourmostemotionalintelligentcompanion.

Avita technology aggregates the superior technologies of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times in the fields of R & D and manufacturing, intelligent solutions and energy management ecology, and deeply integrates the strategic resources of the three parties to redefine the future intelligent electric vehicle (SmartElectricVehicle). Huawei will give full play to its ICT technology advantages and jointly build a full value chain of R & D, channels, services, and ecology with Avita Technology to provide users with full-stack smart vehicle solutions and achieve the intelligent level of electric vehicles; Ningde Times, as a power battery provider and new energy solution service provider, empowers Avita Technology with smart electric vehicle power battery technology and jointly creates a safe and convenient energy ecosystem; Changan Automobile will jointly develop the world’s leading intelligent electric connected vehicle platform (CHN) with Avita Technology based on the capabilities of Huawei and Ningde Times.

In fact, the cooperation between Changan and NIO has been in place for nearly 4 years. On April 9, 2017, Changan Automobile and NIO signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Li Bin, founder, chairperson and CEO of NIO, said at the time that the two parties will establish a joint venture company to develop new products (different from JAC’s foundry cooperation). On August 17, 2018, Changan NIO New Energy Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture jointly funded by Changan Automobile and NIO, settled in Nanjing Jiangning Development Zone. Li Bin is the chairperson of Changan NIO, and the vice chairperson is Li Wei, executive vice president of Changan Automobile.

However, since then, the cooperation between Changan and NIO has been delayed. In June 2020, Changan NIO underwent an industrial and commercial change. NIO Li Bin stepped down as the chairperson of the company, and the new chairperson was Tan Benhong, executive vice president of Changan Automobile. Changan Automobile originally held a 50% stake in Changan NIO, but Changan Automobile increased its investment in Changan NIO through cash increases and other means. After the capital increase was completed, Changan Automobile held a total of 95.38% of Changan NIO’s equity, while NIO only held 4.62%. In other words, in the joint venture relationship of Changan NIO, NIO retreated significantly, and Changan Automobile took over.

On November 15, 2020, Changan officially announced that together with two other giants in the automotive industry, Huawei and Ningde Times will jointly create a new high-end smart car brand. In the future, the AB brand will be built based on the CHN architecture (the architecture jointly created by Changan, Huawei, and Ningde Times), and will launch 5 new energy high-end products. The first model may be a high-end pure electric SUV. The product definition of this model is responsible for Changan, equipped with Huawei’s intelligent cockpit platform CDC, autonomous driving domain controller ADC, and some Sandian components.

In the future, AB brand and the existing Changan New Energy will be two independent operating companies, with different product brands and product segments, providing products and services to customers in different market segments. Among them, Changan New Energy is the new energy business bearer of Changan Automobile brand, and AB brand is a high-end intelligent electric vehicle brand jointly created by aggregating the resources of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times.

Andy Lau dedicated himself to public welfare to avoid talking about his daughter and instill the knowledge of correctness in young people


Andy Lau

  Andy Lau attended the opening ceremony of the "Andy Lau Life Education Activity Center" on November 9. He said that he had donated 2 million funds from charitable funds earlier to appeal to young people to stay away from drugs and instill correct "sexual knowledge". 

  Andy Lau pointed out that today’s young people have a lot of freedom and are not closely related to their parents. When asked about the discipline of children, Andy Lau, who is already a father, will accommodate children? He smiled and asked back: "Did I say something wrong, I mean the general society. I dare not say, if I am like this, everyone will remind me." 

  Andy Lau said that his daughter was still young and did not expect to be severely disciplined, and that "sex education" may be taught by himself or his wife after going to the center for classes. When asked if it was difficult to ask his daughter, Andy Lau pointed out that the media questions were difficult to answer and wanted to go back to study. When asked if he would take his daughter to class, Andy Lau pointed out that he was always busy with work and said he would not answer his daughter’s affairs. 

  Andy Lau pointed out that when he was a child in a Buddhist school, no one taught "sexual knowledge", but now the world has changed, and programs about "sexual knowledge" can also be seen on TV. In addition, Andy Lau did not respond to the rumor that Liu’s father bought supplements for him to nourish his body and chase his son, emphasizing that he usually takes vitamin supplements. He said: "It’s good that I know the truth, I don’t answer true or false, otherwise next time there is a real report, I will definitely admit it."

28 years after "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi will shoot Journey to the West again. Are the feelings still there?


1905 movie network feature "If I have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it will be 10,000 years."This familiar classic line is not an exaggeration to describe the feelings for "Journey to the West".



No, 28 years after "Journey to the West" and 6 years after "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi chose to reconnect with the theme of Journey to the West and will supervise the production of the animated film "Monkey King".


Regarding this new film, what we currently know is that it will be produced by Netflix, created by Oriental DreamWorks, and directed by Oscar-nominated director Anthony Starkey. Yang Bowen, Xu Weilun, B.D. Huang, etc. will lead the all-Asian dubbing lineup, and will be launched online on August 18, 2023.



The movie’s synopsis reads: "Monkey King" is an action-packed family comedy about a monkey and his powerful golden hoop, who team up on an epic adventure as they confront gods, demons, and dragons and confront their greatest enemy: the monkey’s self.


Whether it is the typical Hollywood story framework or the indescribable Monkey King shape, this animated version of "Monkey King" has set off a storm of public opinion on the Internet, and it has also made people sweat for Xingye.



From "Journey to the West" to "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons" to "Monkey King", after 28 years and 5 works, what is left of the "love of my life"? What are the things that Stephen Chow and Journey to the West have to say?


1995


"I have a soft spot for Journey to the West, it has so much material and imagination," Zhou Xingchi explained his obsession with "Journey to the West".The 1995 "Journey to the West" series also became one of the milestones in his film career.



He recalled that when he brought the script to Zhou Xingchi, the latter’s first reaction was excitement. "As soon as he said that he would play Sun Wukong in the Journey to the West, he was very happy."


The two hit it off immediately. Although the official screenwriter was Liu Zhenwei, many of the lines and passages came from Zhou Xingchi’s design. "Journey to the West" also became the first shot after the establishment of the color star film company invested by Zhou Xingchi.



The top actors, well-known directors and star cast, did not expect to wait for the double failure of the box office and word-of-mouth. The best situation in Hong Kong only recovered the cost, and the box office of the co-production in the mainland was even bleak, almost nothing. This also directly led to the closure of Chow Xingchi’s color star company.


Mr. Liu said that Mr. Chow was disappointed at the time, but never blamed him. Instead, the two of them integrated this emotion into the creation of "Night of the Soul." Mr. Chow’s character thinks he is a genius, but in the eyes of the outside world, he is completely "crazy."


"At that time, everyone said he was reckless and uneducated, but I knew he was thoughtful, but he was too advanced for others to catch up."


"The Night of the Soul"


Fortunately, the audience didn’t keep Stephen Chow waiting for too long. Two or three years after the film was released, it began to quietly become popular in the mainland. From word of mouth among college students to the loop of the movie channel, it made mainland fans rediscover this once dusty classic.


If everyone has a Hamlet in their heart, then everyone also has a Journey to the West in their heart.



Scholars and film critics regard it as a classic of postmodernism, one after another parsing out symbols and metaphors that Zhou Xingchi himself did not understand.


In his childhood, the post-80s and 90s generation remembered "only you", "Bodhi ancestor", "invisibility talisman" and other nonsense jokes, competing to imitate and repeatedly reminisce.



But in the eyes of more "crazy men and women" who are trapped in love, in "Journey to the West", what they see is their own shadow.


They are the supreme treasures, and they are also Zixia or Bai Jingjing. Those unreasonable first loves, true loves that are later realized, and the past that cannot be returned, all follow the dialogue, and finally turn into a tear in my heart.


"I didn’t understand the meaning of the play at first, but I’m already a character in the play."



Especially the most classic line, "If God could give me a chance to do it again, I would say’I love you ‘to that girl. If I have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is 10,000 years!"


Zhou Xingchi recalled that this line was born on the bus in Xi’an, a reflection of his personal emotions at that time, and contained the most sincere emotions in the seemingly outdated dialogue.



Perhaps this is the charm of "Journey to the West", which deconstructs the classics in a nonsensical way, subverts the tradition, and reaches a spiritual resonance with the audience beyond time and space.


2013


"You shot Journey to the West, why did you shoot again?"

"I just can’t think of anything else to shoot, hahahaha!"


In an interview during the promotion period of "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons," Zhou Xingchi responded to the question of "fried cold rice" in a playful way. This also became the most asked question before and after the film was released.



Different from the situation of "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West" has received a warm response from the market as soon as it was released, with a total box office of 1.247 billion, ranking the box office champion of the year.


But at the same time, the film has caused a lot of controversy in word-of-mouth. Some people say that this is another love letter written by Stephen Chow to Journey to the West, while others bluntly say that this is a nonsense money-making farce.



Everyone has the right to choose whether to buy this emotional killing or not. But whether it is style or theme, we can clearly see the continuation and innovation of "Journey to the West" for "Journey to the West".


Stylistically, Stephen Chow has returned to his signature nonsensical comedy, but pushed it in a darker and crueler direction.


In the story, "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons" and the subsequent "Fighting Demons" are more centered on the main story of the original novel, which can be regarded as a return from the drama to the main story. However, in the treatment of the four Tang monks and apprentices, it subverts and challenges traditional cognition like "Journey to the West".



In terms of thematic expression, Zhou Xingchi once again wrote a love beyond life and death, and on the other hand sublimated it to a higher dimension of universal beings.


Whether it was the process of Tang Sanzang moving from "little love" to "big love" or the three monsters moving from "demons" to "Buddhas", Zhou Xingchi’s dialectical thinking about the good and evil of human nature and his outlook on life.


Just like the line said: The love of all beings is love, there is no difference between big and small. Only when you have pain can you know the true pain of all beings. Once you are attached, you can let go of your obsession. Once you have been concerned, there is no concern.



Whether it is "Journey to the West" or "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons", Zhou Xingchi’s feelings for "Journey to the West" are not only reflected in his love for the characters in the story, but also in his personal emotions and life insights injected into countless details.


For example, in "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons", Zhou Xingchi changed the classic "10,000 years" line to "10,000 years is too long, just love, now";


He also added the deeply rooted "Love of My Life" to the Mandarin lyrics "Once upon a time, until now, love is still there", so that fans who are familiar with him can feel the deep feelings hidden in it.



In a famous interview, Zhou Xingchi also directly responded to the deep meaning of his lines: "Ten thousand years is indeed too long, don’t wait so long, there is something to do immediately." "If I can do it again, don’t be so busy."



No matter in terms of creation or emotion, "Journey to the West" undoubtedly has a special significance for Zhou Xingchi. But for a wider audience, every time a new work is launched, there is still a controversy of "emotional hype".


For example, in 2017, he supervised and wrote "Journey to the West to Cry Demons", although the box office rose steadily compared to the previous work, its reputation fell sharply.


Perhaps in the hearts of "passers-by", they have already paid back the movie tickets they owed to Lord Xing and "Journey to the West" for those years.



Going back to the animated version of "Monkey King" this time, it is still unknown how many Zhou elements will be in it, but it will undoubtedly bring a more international story and a more unique "Monkey King".


Zhou Xingchi once said that in his opinion, Sun Wukong has "infinite changes and possibilities," but all changes are inseparable from the same, and sincerity is the ultimate killing skill forever.


"Qingyu Nian 3" official announcement, Zhang Ruoyun joined hands with Li Qin, Tian Yu, Song Yi and other more than 20 leading actors to return

The official announcement of "Qingyu Nian 3" was launched, and the five protagonists were replaced. Yan Bingyun’s corner invited Xiao Zhan again.

"Qingyu Nian" is a series of classics created by screenwriter Wang Tie and director Sun Hao, and jointly created by Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin, Chen Daoming, Wu Gang, Li Xiaoran, Tian Yu, Song Yi, Guo Qilin and others. The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by Cat Network and has been broadcast in three parts. At present, the first and second parts have already appeared. After the conclusion of "Qingyu Nian 1", news about the second part appeared in just one month, but what no one expected was that the release of "Qingyu Nian 2" made the audience wait for four years. Now, "Qingyu Nian 2" has officially ended, and the news of the third installment also appeared, which led everyone to ask, is this "Qingyu Nian 3" going to be on for three or four years? The answer is not so! "Qingyu Nian 3" was officially launched, and the five protagonists were replaced, and Yan Bingyun invited Xiao Zhan again. As we all know, the reason why "Qingyu Nian 2" was delayed for so long was mainly due to the environmental factors at that time. Not only the play, but many works were delayed because of those three years, but now it is completely different, so the launch of the play should be smooth sailing. Of course, although "Qingyu Nian 3" will soon be put on the schedule as hoped, the selection of actors is still the top priority. After all, this is the key point of a drama, so I will mainly introduce the general list of the drama. In the preparation of "Qingyu Nian 3", almost the vast majority of the lead actors have returned to the filming of the drama, including Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin, Chen Daoming, Tian Yu, Li Xiaoran, Xin Zhilei, Song Yi, Guo Qilin, Liu Duanduan, Zhang Haowei, Gao Shuguang and more than 20 other actors. In addition to the return of many of the above protagonists, in the cast section of "Qingyu Nian 3", there are also many roles that have changed actors, among which Ye Qingmei, Ye Linger, Yan Bingyun and others are the most eye-catching. Although Ye Qingmei’s role has not appeared many times, it has always been in everyone’s memory, but her stories and legends have always been throughout, especially in "Qingyu Nian 3", so the candidate for this role is about to be screened again. However, it is interesting that most of the news on the Internet about the candidate for Ye Qingmei’s role points to Tang Yixin. As a flower with good looks, acting skills and popularity, Tang Yixin has a lot of faulty works, and it is easy to play a Ye Qingmei. In addition,In "Qingyu Nian 1", the popular male sidekick, Bingyun, has also ushered in a sudden increase in scenes, which is enough in the second installment
