"Mei Lanfang" Picture Album The film "Mei Lanfang", as a big New Year's release at the end of 08, featured the personal performances of Felix Wong and Zhang Ziyi, which drove the box office soaring. This also earned director Chen Kaige a handsome profit. Recently, someone saw Chen Kaige with his wife, Chen Hong, visiting an antique shop in Liuli Factory. It was already past 9 p.m., but the couple was still enthusiastically looking at ancient paintings, occasionally asking questions to the salesperson accompanying them. After two hours, they finally left by car.
During the two hours that Chen Kaige and Chen Hong visited Liuli Factory, the police kept the entire street closed, not allowing any unrelated individuals to approach. There were about seven police cars parked along the roadside. Even on the opposite side of the road, plainclothes officers could be seen monitoring pedestrians. Not until around 11 p.m., after Chen Hong and Chen Kaige left, did the police cars gradually withdraw.
It is understood that Chen Hong has a great love for collecting antiques. During the filming of "Mei Lanfang," Sun Honglei even wore antique glasses from Chen Hong's collection.
