There is less than a month until the May Day movie schedule, but the latest news is shocking:
Stephen Chow's " Mermaid " will be released on May 1st As soon as it's released?
The origin of the news is that a certain movie official blog posted an audience survey and mentioned three movies that will be released on May 1, " There is nothing a hot pot can't solve " and " Thelma and Louise" "Qian " and "Mermaid 2", and distributed posters for the three movies.
This made many netizens who were concerned about Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" excited but couldn't believe their eyes. Some people asked ""Mermaid 2"? May Day?!", expressing their disbelief with question marks.
After that, the official movie blog was modified to remove the sentence "will be released on May 1", but still retained the votes for three movies including "Mermaid 2".
However, look at this poster of "Mermaid 2". It was already several years ago. It has been less than a month since the legendary May Day. Under normal circumstances, the announcement of a blockbuster takes time. From this point of view, without even a latest poster, it is almost impossible to release it on May Day.
"Mermaid 2" is not only the expectation of many movie fans for many years, but also a continuation of Stephen Chow's box office peak (the 2016 box office champion "Mermaid" has a cumulative box office of 3.386 billion). However, now that it has not started filming in 2018, has been "hidden in the ice" "After 6 years of , there is still no accurate news about the release date.
No wonder some netizens left a message saying:
"Mermaid 2" has been selected since I was in junior high school. In the blink of an eye, I graduated from college and it hasn't been released yet.
's tone was full of helplessness after waiting for many years.
Not only did the audience wait for the flowers to wither, but even the heroine Lin Yun was anxiously waiting. She has been publicly urged by the media several times recently, calling the star to ask if the special effects were finished.
In the latest TV interview, Lin Yun said directly, "I just hope that "Mermaid 2" will be released soon." She also revealed that there will be rocket elements in the movie.
But when the host asked her: "So is it reasonable that the movie has not been released for so long?"
Lin Yun could only guess, saying, "I don't know, maybe the special effects are quite large."
In fact, " "Mermaid 2" has not been released for a long time. It is far from being as simple as making special effects that takes time. Its problems are very troublesome. Otherwise, even Stephen Chow would not wait for it. Now he has announced that he is preparing to shoot another new film "Mermaid 2". Shaolin Women's Football Team".
The biggest problem in "Mermaid 2" is actually the actors: bad actors have caused misfortune to the star.
Influenced by special effects production and two male stars Wu Moumou and Luo Moumou who later became bad actors, "Mermaid 2" has been difficult to produce for 6 years. It has not been released yet, and there has been no further follow-up news.
There was news of reshoots during the film, and some netizens said, "I heard that they were not satisfied with the reshoots several times. The comedy effect was not up to standard and it took too long."
Indeed, as early as March 2018, Stephen Chow made a low-key appearance in Shenzhen to film "Mermaid 2" and filmed scenes in an amusement park.
At that time, Lin Yun, the heroine of "Mermaid", posted the news of her "joining the group" and received the official "certification" of "Hello Shanshan" forwarded by Stephen Chow's assistant, confirming that she would continue to star in "Mermaid 2" the role. After
, Lin Yun was met on the street in Shenzhen, and it was once again confirmed that she was filming "Mermaid 2" in Shenzhen.
"Mermaid 2", which was filmed in an amusement park, was closely watched by many enthusiastic fans. Many people rushed to the filming location, but the scene was already in a no-entry shooting mode. A cordon was set up at the scene, and there were strong men guarding the scene, strictly guarding against the filming content.
However, director Stephen Chow who was walking out of the filming location was still photographed: he always had a low-key and simple style, wearing his favorite sports hoodie and sweatpants, a baseball cap and a mask, and his signature silver-gray hair color , the slight difference is that this time Master Xing wore a pair of very fashionable shoes.
"Mermaid 2" once again continues the amusement park scene in "Mermaid". It can be seen that Stephen Chow has a "special liking" for amusement parks.
In "The Mermaid", the amusement park is the place where Shanshan, played by Lin Yun, and Liu Xuan, played by Deng Chao, "date". The filming was joyful and romantic. I wonder what surprises Stephen Chow will create in the film this time?
The male protagonist of "Mermaid 2" was also changed from Deng Chao to Allen. He was also photographed on the set at that time. Later, he starred in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons " as one of the "Four Beauties" Actor Zhang Mei'e also confirmed to the media that Allen replaced Deng Chao in the first film to play the leading actor Liu Xuan.
Later, Allen also publicly expressed his admiration for Xingye and mentioned that he was excited to star in Xingye's movie.
Although "Mermaid 2" has been completed for a long time, there has been no news about a scheduled release. Some people speculate that on the one hand, the special effects in the film's post-production period need time, and on the other hand, it may be related to the legendary "bad artist" Wu Moumou who participated in the filming of the film. Related to Luo Moumou, they have both appeared in many of Stephen Chow's movies, and both also starred in the first "Mermaid".
The story summary of "Mermaid 2" is: Long Tianna and Long Jianfei appeared with the "wormhole project" that can travel through space at will. Liu Xuan therefore returned to the business, and the mermaid Shanshan accidentally became an astronaut, and gradually Behind the entangled four-corner relationship, there is also a shocking conspiracy.
Previously, someone left a message online claiming that Wu Moumou was the second male lead, and said that "the only remedy is to delete all his scenes and reshoot them on a large scale." In the introduction before "Mermaid 2", Long Jianfei appeared. This character was played by Wu Moumou in "Mermaid".
Therefore, if we really need to reshoot, we will definitely have to replace the actors, or the story characters will change. No matter what it is, it will be a very troublesome event for a movie that has already been filmed.
The May Day release of "Mermaid 2" seems to be basically a false shot. So, when will it be released?
Regarding this, someone left a message online in February this year and revealed, "I had dinner with an actor from the first film two days ago and asked about it and said it was a summer release."
sounds like the truth, I hope it is true.
Because everyone has been waiting for Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" for too long.
Will you watch this movie and support Mr. Xing?
