Director Chen Kexin's new film "Sauce Garden Lane" is one of the high-profile projects in the industry, and its lineup is so luxurious that it is rare in the film industry in recent years.
The cause of the incident was because of the arrangement of the second female role, and it was rumored that Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, two popular flowers, would appear in this movie and were expected to share one of the important supporting actress roles.
One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, who will win this strategic position, which immediately detonated a heated discussion among fans and audiences.
In just a few days, the popularity of this film has risen rapidly, and the topic of "Yang Mi vs Zhao Liying" has frequently ranked at the forefront of Weibo hot searches, and problem posts and film reviews related to Zhihu and Douban have also emerged in an endless stream.
Interestingly, in this war-torn situation, director Chen Kexin has always maintained a fairly calm attitude, according to insiders, he does not mind the controversy between fans, and is even quite happy to see it happen.
This has undoubtedly created a huge ** effect for the film, it has not officially started filming, but it has successfully detonated the public and ** high attention, and the discussion one after another has sounded the first wave of propaganda war drums after the release.
Just when the war of words between fans was in full swing, on December 16, "Sauce Garden Lane" suddenly issued an official start-up announcement, and the news immediately set off a lot of repercussions in the entertainment industry, because in this brief official announcement, there was no mention of the information about the participating actors.
Yang Mi and Zhao Liying hinted at their participation in the project on their respective social platforms, but the official silence seemed to confirm that they may not have been given a definite opportunity to perform.
In the official follow-up supplement, he only vaguely said: "After the lineup is confirmed, we will share more film information with you at a later date." This undoubtedly knocked back the previous statements of the two.
The speculation about the lineup of "Sauce Garden Lane" was skewed from the beginning, because both from the perspective of publicity and production details, the film repeatedly emphasized the leading position of the heroine Zhang Ziyi.
As Zhang Ziyi's first film after the divorce, "Sauce Garden Lane" has undoubtedly attracted much attention, and there is only Zhang Ziyi in its official trailer poster.
What kind of situation will Yang Mi and Zhao Liying face?Some industry insiders broke the news that all the actors in this film need to be interviewed with Zhang Ziyi, and whether there is chemistry between them will determine whether they can leave their roles in the film.
From this point of view, the hype around the project may have been a bit too much, and they seem to have forgotten that they were just candidates before the film officially started.
Once they perform poorly during the audition, not only will they not be able to enter the final cast list, but they may even be in the embarrassing situation of "returning the ticket after turning on", and they are afraid that they and their fans will be disappointed.
Now the result of the two "stealing the show" is obviously inconclusive, and we can only continue to wait for the final choice of the producer of "Sauce Garden Lane" - whether it will adopt the fans' praise and disapproval of Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's acting skills, or still go their own way, let's wait and see!
