The movie “Lychee of Chang’an” has officially started filming in Xiangyang, Hubei, China. The movie stars Andy Lau, Yang Mi, Zhang Ruojun and Zhuang Dafei.
“Lychee of Chang’an” filmed in Xiangyang for a week. The crew then moved to Yangjiang, Guangdong to work for the next month. Finally, the actors will return to Hengdian, Zhejiang to complete the remaining scenes. The film is expected to be completed in March 2025.
Notably, Dong Chengpeng is the director, screenwriter and main actor in “Ly Chi of Chang’an”. In addition, the project also has the help of screenwriting consultants such as Zhang Enyu, Dai Si Ao and Shen Yu Yue.
The film's content mainly revolves around male characters, with only a few prominent female characters played by Duong Mich and Trang Dat Phi. This is an opportunity for the "85-year-old flower" to regain her cinematic glory after the movie "There's nothing that a hot pot can't solve".
Recently, Duong Mich has encountered many difficulties when her film and television projects did not achieve the expected success. The actress was surpassed by the group of "85 little flowers" Trieu Le Dinh and Duong Yen, causing a lot of pressure. Therefore, Duong Mich has high expectations for "Le Chi of Truong An".
Besides Duong Mich, the above project is also an opportunity for Truong Nhuoc Quan and Trang Dat Phi.
Despite his success in television, Truong Nhuoc Quan has not yet established himself in the film industry. Similarly, the post-2000 generation actor - Trang Dat Phi also has new achievements to compete with Ly Canh Hy and Truong Tu Phong if "Le Chi of Truong An" is successful.
According to the announcement, the film is adapted from the novel of the same name by author Ma Ba Dung. The film belongs to the genre of action, historical, comedy blockbuster with surreal style imbued with Chinese epic.
“Lychee of Chang’an” is set in the Tang Dynasty and revolves around the story of a journey of thousands of miles to offer lychee. The chosen person, Li Shande, is middle-aged and has to do many jobs and has a difficult life.
