At 1 o'clock on December 7th, Guan Wei of @ Movie Lanxin Grand Theatre wrote, "Dear fans who care about Lanxin Grand Theatre, we have decided to adjust the schedule of Lanxin Grand Theatre, which was originally scheduled to be released on December 7th. We sincerely apologize for this. The initial heart remains the same, and the meeting can be expected.
Lanxin Grand Theatre is adapted from Hong Ying's original novel Death in Shanghai. This is also a rare chronological play by Lou Ye after The Purple Butterfly 16 years ago. The story of the film is set in Shanghai in 1941. The actress Yu Yan (Gong Li) was invited to return to Shanghai from Hong Kong to play the drama Saturday Novel directed by Tan Na (Mark Chao). Her return attracted the attention of all parties, and there was an undercurrent under the scenery. The Allied Far East Intelligence Agency, the Chongqing Military Command and the Nanjing Wang Puppet Secret Service set up bureaus one after another in an attempt to spy out the real purpose of Yu Yan's return to Shanghai.
there are only two reasons for the film to be withdrawn and shifted, either because the opponents in the same period are too strong or the film production is not good enough. "Lanxin Grand Theatre" is quite special. Shooting started in 217. It has been two years since now, and in September 219, it was shortlisted for the best film in Venice Film Festival, so the quality problem definitely does not exist. If there is no problem with the quality of the film, it is the consistent problem with the works directed by Lou Ye. The subject matter is too sensitive.
