Difficult to pass the test of love, Sun Li interprets the first love in turbulent times
"The Legend of Guan Yu" Sun Li poster
"The Legend of Guan Yu" is Sun Li's second cooperation with Donnie Yen. In "Painted Skin", there was a vague emotional thread between the two; while in "The Legend of Guan Yu", the emotional relationship between Sun Li, who plays the role of Liu Bei's fiancée, and Donnie Yen is always complicated. With the exposure of Sun Li's character poster, the relationship between the two gradually becomes clear. Directors Peter Ho and Alan Mak describe the relationship between Sun Li and Donnie Yen as the Chinese version of "The Last Temptation of Christ". Sun Li's character is very calculating and good at using emotions. Guan Yu, on the other hand, is a very pure person. They say that true gold fears no fire. Guan Yu is so righteous, so we give him a little temptation to see if he can resist.
Silk dress temptation, Donnie Yen exclaims unable to withstand
"The Legend of Guan Yu", which will be released on April 26th, held a hero-beauty press conference in Shanghai today. Directors Peter Ho and Alan Mak, along with actress Sun Li, attended the event. Prior to this, the production team released Sun Li's character poster, and the image of the test of love gradually became clear. At the same time, many of Sun Li's costumes in the movie were revealed, from a neighborly girl to someone taking refuge in Cao's camp, and then escaping for thousands of miles. The always elegant Sun Li changes into several silk dresses, her allure irresistible, presenting the toughest challenge for Donnie Yen's version of Guan Yu.
In addition to character stills, the costume stills exposed this time further materialize Sun Li's allure. Wearing seven silk dresses, Sun Li sometimes appears innocent, sometimes graceful, and sometimes seductive, deliberately rekindling Guan Yu's buried first love. Sun Li revealed that during filming, Donnie Yen saw her various alluring outfits and exclaimed that he couldn't take it. Since her character in "Painted Skin" was somewhat boyish, while the Qi Lan in this movie is very seductive, making him especially uncomfortable. Seeing her like that, he repeatedly said he couldn't take it, how strange. However, this didn't faze her. Sun Li joked that she is sometimes very carefree, not as fragile as imagined, and when performing such tempting scenes, she gives herself a lot of room to play.
In the newly released Sun Li version of the character poster, a flock of white pigeons bathes in a beam of light amidst the darkness. However, Sun Li's appearance cuts off the bumpy path leading to this light. With an innocent face but wearing a seductive pink silk dress, the great contrast in Sun Li amplifies the towering presence of the word 'love' behind her. Donnie Yen's version of Guan Yu faces the hardest test of love to surpass.
