New summer movies are scheduled to be released again. On July 19th, director Hu Mei's new film "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage", which was originally scheduled to be released on July 26th, announced that it would be changed to 8. It will be released on September 16th and will be the finale of this summer season.

Compared with high-scoring classics such as director Hu Mei's representative TV series " Yongzheng Dynasty " and "Qiao Family Courtyard", the release of the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage" can be described as having twists and turns. The film has been in preparation since 2005, with actor auditions launched in 2017. The filming was completed in 2019, but it will not be released to the audience until 2024.

At the Shanghai International Film Festival in June this year, it was first announced that the movie "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" would be released on July 26. Director Hu Mei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news at the scene, saying that she had finally waited for a movie. "Specific day". But on July 19, "A Dream of Red Mansions" suddenly announced that it would be postponed to August to avoid the "tidal wave of new films" in late July and early August and instead seize the "tail" of the summer season.

Previously, "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Beautiful Marriage" held more than 70 special screenings in more than 50 cities across the country and was reviewed by the audience in advance. It is reported that director Hu Mei has adapted "A Dream of Red Mansions " into a 2-hour movie with a more modern and youthful flavor. It starts with the flashback of "Baoyu became a monk in a snowy day" and "Lin Daiyu returns home for funeral" as the starting point of the story. For the first time, "Wang Xifeng embezzled Lin Ruhai's family property to build the Grand View Garden" is vividly presented, and the "subcontracting plan" that makes book fans sigh is the highlight of the film's ending.

The newly released trailer of "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage" focuses on the scene of "Concubine Yuan's marriage visit". Thousands of lanterns and hundreds of extras in the Grand View Garden together create the luxurious atmosphere in the original work. It is worth mentioning that the popular actor Guan Xiaotong plays Jia Yuanchun in the film. According to Guan Xiaotong, she was still studying in college when she participated in the filming of "A Dream of Red Mansions". This was also the first time she participated in such a high-profile costume drama.
