On June 3, the producer of the Chinese film "Great balance" officially announced the cast and posters of the characters.
The work stunned everyone when it gathered more than 20 famous stars of the Chinese screen, from veteran "final photos", " Emperor photos", to young faces with many fans.
"Great balance" is a project that attracted attention right after filming. First of all, because this is a film directed by famous director Tran Khai Tan.
Second, this is the first work of Zhang Ziyi after her divorce, symbolizing her determination to return to the film industry.
The third is the presence of famous actors including Zhang Ziyi, Yi Yang Qianxi, Liu Jiaamin, Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, Wang Truyen Quan, Li Xian, Dai Bang...
"Great Reward" is adapted from one of the four major cases during the People's Republic of China. Chiem Chu Thi (Chuong Tu Di), a woman who has been abused by her husband for many years, finally decided to resist. She killed her husband and dismembered his body into many pieces. The murder case shocked public opinion, creating tens of thousands of speculations and revealing the fate of many people.
After completion, the film will premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. However, the 150-minute original version was not positively reviewed because of its slow pace, and the male lead Tiet Chi Vu played by Loi Giai Am almost overwhelmed the female lead role of Chuong Tu Di.
Before the reflection of critics and the audience, the producer "Tuong Vien" made a new version for the work. The film will be released in mainland China with a new version divided into 2 parts. The plot is more reasonable, reinforcing the role of the female lead.
In addition to the issue of film quality, when the series of posters for "Great balance" were published, the two names Trieu Le Dinh and Duong Mich also attracted special attention.
Zhao Liying and Yang Mi have long been considered rivals among the 85 generation of Chinese beauties. It is almost unimaginable for these two actresses to act together.
According to the announcement, the roles of Trieu Le Dinh and Duong Mich in this film are opposite in terms of fate and appearance.
Zhao Liying plays Tay Lam, a writer and playwright, with an intellectual and elegant appearance in the upper class. She is a strong woman, divorced in an era of not being very friendly about this issue.
When Tay Lam's play was suddenly canceled, she accidentally learned about the murder case of Chiem Chu Thi's husband and quickly seized the opportunity around the trial to promote her declining career.
While Duong Mich plays Vuong Hua Mai, a female prisoner with a gloomy appearance.
Both Trieu Le Dinh and Duong Mich are expected to bring surprises, because these roles are the type of characters that they have never played before.
Part 1 of "The Great balance" will be released on June 21.
