According to the relevant information of the film record, the film is directed by Zhang Yimou, and the film is also Zhang Yimou's second collaboration with screenwriter Chen Yu after "Sniper".

Zhang Yimou started the blockbuster era of Chinese movies with "Heroes". After that, costume blockbusters such as "House of Flying Daggers" and "Golden Armor in the City" have led a wave of blockbuster costume movies. This time again, the theme of ancient costumes is very exciting. Although the film's release date is currently tentatively set for 2023, once the launch poster was released, "Man Jiang Hong" quickly entered the Douban real-time popular movie list.
It is reported that the movie "Man Jianghong" tells the story of the Prime Minister Qin Hui leading the forbidden army to the border during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty to talk with Jin Guo. Qin Huisu lived in a local mansion of a big family. The mansion was closed and heavily guarded, but on the eve of the meeting, a mystery happened.
However, this is not a historical drama that positively expresses the story of the famous anti-gold general Yue Fei, but a depiction of blood, righteousness, loyalty and bravery in suspenseful colors from the perspective of small people. The addition of several comedy stars in the cast list also made people more curious about the type of the film. The combination of suspense and comedy. Zhang Yimou had tried it in "Three Guns: The Surprise", but from the word of mouth at the time. It didn't look like a success.
Right now, there are three "ten billion male protagonists" with different styles, Yi Yang Qianxi, Shen Teng, and Zhang Yi. Such a lineup is quite interesting. Recently, netizens broke the news that Yi Yang Qianxi was seen in the county office of the ancient county town of Taiyuan where the film was filmed. In terms of styling, Yi Yang Qianxi has long hair. When the film was still in the preparatory stage last month, it was rumored that Yue Yunpeng and Yu Qian would make cameos in the film Yue Fei and Qin Hui.
Zhang Yimou, who has passed his old age, has produced new films every year in recent years, which is quite productive. "Solid as a Rock", which was completed in July 2019, starred Lei Jiayin, Zhang Guoli, Yu Hewei, Zhou Dongyu, Sun Yizhou, Li Naiwen, Xu Yajun, etc. It is a realistic crime police and bandit movie. According to the financial report released by Enlight Media in the first half of this year, the film is still in production.
