According to the director of "Silver Empire" Yao Shuhua, the first poster released yesterday was specially made for the Berlin Film Festival and overseas release. The image of Guo Fucheng sitting cross-legged and looking far away on the poster was the first scene shot in the Taihang Mountains when the whole film started shooting. This picture is also the one that Guo Tianwang likes most. After post-processing, the first poster was supplemented with the artistic conception of ink painting and a red seal, thus creating an impressive Chinese style effect.
At the 59th Berlin International Film Festival opening on February 5, the Chinese film "Silver Empire" directed by Chinese female director Yao Shuhua, starring Guo Fucheng, Zhang Tielin and Hao Lei, will hold its first global special screening. Yesterday, the production team released the first poster of "Silver Empire" which will be presented in Berlin. The fine brushwork ink painting style makes this film, telling the legendary story of Jin merchants, have some taste of a kung fu movie. It is reported that the overseas distribution company exactly values this illusion, hoping that this poster can remind western audiences of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
"Silver Empire"
Although even the trailer has not been released yet, "Silver Empire", showing the rise and fall of the Tiancheng family of Jin merchants, has already become one of the hot films at this year's Berlin Film Festival. The person in charge of UK Hanway Company responsible for the overseas sales of the film revealed that because many foreign distributors have shown purchasing intentions for "Silver Empire", two internal trial screenings will be held especially for them before the official premiere of the film. Meanwhile, the overseas PR company of this film is rushing to make 100 posters and 4000 film booklets for promotion during the film festival.
