In the movie "Dong Feng Yu" (Rain of East Wind), although Liu Yunlong and Fan Bingbing are seemingly a pianist and a famous singer respectively, in fact, they will experience an adventurous process of continuous "secret harm".
Liu Yunlong, who is directing for the first time and also serving as the lead actor, recently started filming his spy-themed movie "Chun Feng Yu" (Spring Wind Rain) quietly in Shanghai. The always-secret female lead has also been revealed to be played by Fan Bingbing. According to reports, Fan Bingbing plays a famous singer in the movie, but her real identity is actually a female KMT special agent.
The story takes place in Shanghai before and after the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor battle, narrating the stories of Chinese intelligence personnel's endurance, sacrifice, and contribution during this war. It is reported that the apparent identities of Liu Yunlong and Fan Bingbing in the movie are a pianist and a famous singer respectively, and there will be scenes where the two perform together. However, their real identities are Chinese agents who play crucial roles in the entire war. As they cooperate, feelings gradually develop between them. It is disclosed that Liu Yunlong has secretly been learning piano from Lang Lang for quite some time for this role.
The film heavily invests in recreating the scenery of Shanghai's Bund, Nanjing Road, dog-racing field, Xiangfei Road, etc., from the 1940s. A main interior scene, the Cielo Door Club, was built inside a 10,000 square meter studio. Moreover, the film boasts a very strong behind-the-scenes team with Huang Yetai serving as the cinematographer, Yi Zhenzhou as the art director, and Hollywood visual effects master FOO SING CHOONG responsible for the numerous stunts in the movie, who previously worked on "Mission: Impossible II". It is learned that the movie plans to wrap up shooting by the end of May and will be released within the year.
