The Mermaid 2 does not star Deng Chao, Wu Yifan, Allen and Lin Yun

Tian Hanyu's new film "A Little Wish" is now showing in theaters. He recently accepted an interview with "First Director" and revealed some new information about his collaboration with Stephen Chow in "The Mermaid 2". According to Tian Hanyu, "The theme of "The Mermaid 2" is still about the relationship between mermaids and humans. The plot involves space and five-dimensional space. The male and female protagonists are Allen and Lin Yun, and there is no Deng Chao or Wu Yifan. The special effects of the film are not finished, and it will not be released in 2019."

In June 2018, Hong Kong media revealed that Wu Yifan would play a major role in "The Mermaid 2", but Stephen Chow denied the news. Prior to this, the only confirmed lead actor in the film was the female lead Lin Yun.

Tian Yusheng said that Stephen Chow had approached him to work with him when filming the first part of The Mermaid, but he was busy filming his own movie Ex-Files 2 at the time, so he missed the opportunity. During the filming of The Mermaid 2, the two finally reached a cooperation agreement. Director Tian said frankly, "Stephen Chow approached me for two reasons, because he knew that our New Shengtang (Tian Yusheng Screenwriting Studio) scripts were very strong, and he also knew that we had a better understanding of the mainland audience's sense of humor, so he wanted me to help him. In fact, I am a great military strategist."

In the interview, Director Tian also revealed Stephen Chow's working state, "He is really tired. For example, we start work at 8 o'clock every morning, and he comes at about 9 o'clock. He will rest after shooting until 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. If the shooting is not completed today, he will let me shoot. Although I shoot, I will also ask him for confirmation." Tian Hanyu finally said with emotion, "Stephen Chow is Stephen Chow, no one can copy and imitate him. "The Mermaid 2" is completely Stephen Chow's work."

In the previously exposed "The Mermaid 2" film script project announcement by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the story of "The Mermaid 2" is as follows: Long Tianna and Long Jianfei appear with the "Wormhole Plan" that can travel through space at will. Liu Xuan returns to the business world because of this, and the mermaid Shanshan accidentally becomes an astronaut. Behind the gradually entangled relationship between the four corners, there is also a shocking conspiracy.

The Mermaid 2 started filming in March 2018, and the lead actress Lin Yun revealed on Weibo in June 2018 that the film had been completed. Perhaps because the film took too long to make, it has not been released to the public. In 2019, during the Spring Festival, Stephen Chow released another new film, The New King of Comedy.
