"Lychees of Chang'an" starts filming, Dapeng presents characters created by Ma Boyong on the screen

The costume drama comedy film "Lychees in Chang'an", written and directed by Dapeng and adapted from Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, has officially started shooting. Zhang Chiyu serves as the script consultant, Shen Yuyue and Dai Siao serve as screenwriters, and Li Yaping serves as the chief producer.

The film tells the story of Li Shande, a middle-aged man who worked hard and spent a lot of money during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end he was still an unknown official. However, all this seemed to have changed with a summons. One day, he was assigned a lucrative job as a "litchi envoy". If he succeeded, he would have a life of wealth and glory, but if he failed...

The newly exposed opening poster of the film adopts a hand-painted style, which is eye-catching. The huge lychees are bright red, and the petty official Li Shande holds the lychees in both hands and staggers forward with all his strength. The jagged rocks and the rolling mountains in the background indicate that his journey is not only long but also quite rugged. Can he withstand the pressure of delivering lychees for thousands of miles, and how many unexpected adventures will happen? It really makes people curious and imaginative.

The behind-the-scenes lineup released with the poster is also quite eye-catching. Director Dapeng has always paid more attention to the stories of "little people". Whether it is Wei Ping'an's thousands of miles to refute rumors in "Keep You Safe" directed by him, two generations of street dancers fighting back against life problems in "Hot", or the contemporary workplace ecology shown in "Annual Meetings Can't Stop!" he starred in, all of them show the plight, perseverance and vigorous vitality of little people. This time, he will direct the story of a petty official in the Tang Dynasty and will have more unique insights. On the day of the start of filming, Director Dapeng appeared on the set with Tang Dynasty makeup and hair style, indicating that he will also play a role in the film, which adds to the expectations.

Ma Boyong's original novel "Lychees in Chang'an" is regarded as a "must-read masterpiece" by many readers for its humorous and wise writing style and imaginative style, laying the foundation for the quality of the film. This time, he personally escorted the film, which will undoubtedly better explore and express the core story of the original novel.

The film's script consultant Zhang Chiyu and screenwriters Shen Yuyue and Dai Si'ao have worked together to create hit comedy films such as "The Shameful Iron Fist" and "The Lone Moon", and will also give this film a unique temperament. The strong combination of these outstanding creators is a major quality guarantee for the film "Lychees in Chang'an". The cast of the film, which has not yet been officially announced, has also aroused the audience's expectations.
