Fans who like Shu Qi and Jackson Yee can’t hold back their mouths! On September 7th, Variety, the authoritative entertainment media in Hollywood, released an exclusive news, saying that Bi Gan, the director of China, would start filming a new sci-fi film, with two famous China actors, Jackson Yee and Shu Qi as co-actors.
A keen journalist saw this news on the front page of Variety in official website. According to the article, director Bi Gan’s 2018 work "The Last Night of the Earth" appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018, and his next work is the ambitious sci-fi detective film "Wild Times", which will be co-starred by "China superstar" Jackson Yee and the famous actor Shu Qi, who was the judge of this year’s Venice International Film Festival.
According to the report of Variety, Wild Times is characterized by Bi Gan’s avant-garde aesthetics and narrative style, and tells the story of a woman who consciously entered the "eternal time zone" during surgery. "She was trapped in a dream for many years, found a robot body, and tried to wake it up by telling endless stories. The robot wandered in her story and its senses gradually awakened. " According to the report, Bi Gan is currently writing a script and plans to start shooting later this year.
At the same time, the behind-the-scenes lineup of the film also surfaced: Dong Jinsong, who worked with Bi Gan on The Last Night of the Earth, will be the photography director of the film; Tu Nan, who has worked with director Chen Kaige in The Legend of the Demon Cat and with director Wong Kar-wai in Blossoms Shanghai, will be the production designer of the film; Wen-Ying Huang ("Assassin Nie Yinniang"), director Hou Xiaoxian’s long-time partner, will be the film’s modeling director.
Variety reported that Bi Gan was a poet and photographer. His 2015 work "Picnic by the Road" was a breakthrough debut, and won the best debut prize in several important film festivals. His other important work "The Last Night of the Earth" once showed the audience an "amazing 50-minute 3D long shot".
"Variety" exclusively exposed Bi Gan’s new film news, and Bi Gan’s own film company, Dangmai Film, later officially announced that the third film "Wild Times" directed by Bi Gan was under intense preparation, and revealed that the film would integrate surreal, detective, science fiction and other elements.
The debut of "Wild Times" not only made the loyal fans of director Bi Gan ecstatic, but also made the fans of two famous actors, Jackson Yee and Shu Qi, exclaim that "the wish was successful" and "what a coincidence!"
In 2019, Shu Qi and Jackson Yee co-starred in the short film "Beat Your Informant" directed by the famous director Yinan Diao. The tension between them in the film was so intense that many netizens regretted that "the film was too short to enjoy" and looked forward to their cooperation in a feature film in the future. Unexpectedly, four years later, the netizen’s wish finally came true, and it was a cooperation with Bi Gan, who is known as the "spokesperson of China’s young directors in the international film world", which also directly filled everyone’s expectations for Wild Times.
