Movie Network News(Photo/Qian Jia’s memoir/Diao Zongrui) On August 16, "Silver Empire" held its premiere press conference in Beijing. Director Yao Shuhua, starring Guo Fucheng and Hao Lei, appeared on the scene to build momentum for the film. At the press conference, Yao Shuhua praised Hao Lei’s superb skills in filming "bed scenes", and Guo Fucheng revealed that he applied a mask for being tender.

Although this is the first time to make a film, Yao Shuhua is confident in her handwriting. "The film is exciting and powerful enough," she said. Yao Shuhua also praised her two favorite generals, saying that she learned professionalism from Guo Fucheng. When it comes to Hao Lei’s acting skills, Yao Shuhua is even more admired. She mentioned that three bed scenes required Hao Lei to cry. "She answered the call three times. I don’t know what kind of state she is going through in her heart. I can only say that this is a very superb technical performance."
Hao Lei humbly claims that she is not a very expressive actor, but that the entire filming environment and situation made her feel very safe. She said, "I was not very familiar with Guo Fucheng at the beginning, but the director prepared it perfectly and let us get into it quickly." The director also broke the news that Guo Fucheng and Hao Lei cooperated quite tacitly and were once mistaken for a couple by foreigners.
Guo Fucheng was exposed as a "hot pot madman" who applied a mask to play tender
Talking about her personal impression of Guo Fucheng, Hao Lei said that because the two people are the same constellation, they are more like each other in many ways. She also revealed that Guo Fucheng loves hot pot very much, and called Guo Fucheng a "hot pot madman".
Guo Fucheng admired the performance of Hao Lei as a young woman and returning to the age of 17 in the play. He said that he had never seen an actor achieve this state. However, he went to great lengths to apply facial masks in order to return to the age of 17. And his poor Mandarin also became an obstacle in his performance. Because he read "disaster caused by Xiao Wall" as "disaster caused by xianmei" more than a dozen times in a row. He also laughed, "Fortunately, the director is more tolerant."
Guo Fucheng also said that musicals have always been her dream. He hopes to bring his musicals to perform in Beijing and different parts of the country in 2011.
"Silver Empire" is expected to enter the US market
As an epic film about the evolution of Shanxi merchants, it is said that in addition to using special effects to restore the life scenes of Shanxi merchants in the late Qing Dynasty, the film is also not sloppy in details such as costumes and props. Most of the costumes, decorations and utensils are real cultural relics. Hao Lei said that the cashmere cloak she wore during the filming was very delicate, and she intended to keep it after the filming.
Yao Shuhua believes that the local folk customs of Shanxi are fully responsible for borrowing a lot of antiques for filming. She also mentioned that the museum in Pingyao, Shanxi Province, even closed the museum for two days to assist in the shooting of "Silver Empire." In addition, Yao Shuhua also praised the local extras in Shanxi Province. She said that one scene was filmed at 2:30 at night, the weather was very cold, and the performance of the extras was so serious that she was moved to tears.
Yao Shuhua denied rumors that the film was interested in the Oscars, but according to her, the Oscar chairperson had seen the film during the Shanghai Film Festival and said he liked it very much and could learn a lot about Chinese culture. He also intended to help Yao Shuhua find distributors in the United States to promote the film.
It is reported that "Silver Empire" will be released nationwide on August 21.
