Faces from the main cast.

Huayi Brothers is adapting their blockbuster film “Aftershocks 唐山大地震” (there’s a beautiful post about the movie here) into a television series, with Tong Liya and Yuan Wenkang acting together as the pair of siblings. The drama adaptation will flesh out the thirty-two years between the reunion of Wan Deng (the daughter, played by Tong Liya) with her family. Also part of the case are Zhang Guoli, Zhang Hanyu, Chen Xiaoyi, and Xu Yajun. Briefly summarized, the movie “Aftershocks” tells of how a family is broken apart in the Tangshan earthquake of 1976, then re-pieced together 32 years later.

Tong Liya’s character, Wan Deng (as called in the drama adaptation) was abandoned by her mother to save her brother after the earthquake. The drama adaptation will be building on Wan Deng’s journey, telling of Wan Deng’s emotions and her life and marriage in America. The drama adaptation will also go deeper into the family history of the Wans, with a record of Wan Deng’s relationship with her brother.

Hopefully, the poignancy of the movie will be retained in this expansion.

Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, and Zhang Hanyu

Three of the actors of the film, including Huang Xiaoming graced this month’s cover for Cosmo; the rest of that shoot behind the cut. I really hope there are outtakes, because the HXM + LBB ones in the vid below looked cute. Although what I really want for a photoshoot is one with LBB and Zhou Xun.

"The Message" Teaser Trailer Gives Small Preview of Bloody Scenes

June 8, 2009 | Posted in Mainland China, Tagged Sound of Wind, The Message, Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Hanyu

Although the teaser for the big budget Feng Sheng/ The Sound of Wind, or the Message , showed only about two seconds of each big-name actor, what it did show was startling for its graphic content (for a mainland movie), and Zhang Hanyu (the actor who was receiving punishment in the teaser) said that this was the tip of the iceberg only. But it should be all worth it come release time, because it expects a huge box office.

The Message (Feng Sheng) movie continues to get the special treatment from Hua Yi, at this point clearly the most powerful entertainment company in China. Earlier, I mentioned that in a strange and rare move, Hua Yi had casted all of its biggest stars for Sound of Wind…Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Zhang Hanyu, showing how important it was to them. Even Alec Su has been relegated to a supporting role. Now with pictures revealing the rich detail of the set, it’s shown that Hua Yi is sparing no expense for the production costs either, saying it was “without limits”. Zhou Xun marveled excitedly that it’s the most lavish set she’s ever been on, and both she and Li Bingbing says that this will be the new definitive work of their career.
