"Butterfly King" has a freshness rating of only 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the IMDb rating is 7.3.

Bius also wrote about his impressions on the official website of the New York Film Festival.

The official website of the New York Film Festival is a very famous media terminal in the film industry, and high-quality articles will be updated every month.

[How should Searchlight Films market this absolutely non-mainstream adaptation of a Broadway play?]

Hollywood suits might scratch their heads for the film, and rightly so: it's a quirky mix of historical drama, love story, and spy thriller.

Set in China in 1964, the film tells the budding love story between Garimard, a member of the French consulate, and Song Liling, a Peking Opera diva.

In Peking Opera, men traditionally play all female roles, which seems to be a fact known to everyone except the French consul Garima. He finds his entire life adapted by the escalating obsession of his heroine, which he calls "My Butterfly", referring to Puccini 1's opera.

It's not so much a spy film by Conan Boleyn as it is a love story, and he uses the film as a vehicle for his intricate themes of personal metamorphosis.

Peter's cinematography, on the other hand, is absolutely stunning, using amber, red and blue as the base colors to bring the China of the sixties to life in a way that few people can do, and the footage of Garima and Song having a picnic at the Great Wall is downright breathtaking!

But "Butterfly" is Conan Boleyn's most flawed film to date, and despite its sheer glamour, it ultimately feels fake, in a hurry near the end, and how much is it due to Searchlight's lack of confidence in the finished product? No one could have guessed.

Despite the above shortcomings, friends, I still recommend you to go and see the most outstanding young performance genius in the East - Stantin Wong! ]

[Note 1 on the website: Giacmo Puccini, a famous Italian opera master, whose masterpieces are "Madama Butterfly" and "La Bohème".

"Madame Butterfly" tells the story of Qiaoqiao-san and Pinkerton, a U.S. Navy officer, who stayed in the boudoir after marrying, but abandoned them when they came, and finally Qiaoqiao committed suicide. 】

The film critic is interesting when he speaks, and the previous words are all nonsense, nothing more than telling people that the story is very niche, and then expressing that he knows Conan Boleyn's photography style very well, and the last half is the key.

Bius praised the cinematographer, praised the actors, then criticized the director, and ridiculed the investors who were eager for quick success.

"The most outstanding young performance genius in the East at present", this praise is quite high.

Huang Baiyou has become the biggest winner of this movie, how many domestic first-line actors want to come to Hollywood to make a name, and all kinds of salary reductions or something, but after working for a long time, the blisters have not bubbled.

Huang Baiyou, who has gained a huge reputation, can only apply again after two weeks after being denied a visa to the United States, and the rules of the parallel world are different from those on earth.

In such a few days of rare free time, Huang Baiyou began to work on the renovation of the new house, and then received an email from Pei Wen's studio on a sunny morning.

"The most important thing of the day is breakfast." Huang Baiyou took the bun and clicked on it, Huang Baiyou finally knew what the big director was going to shoot.

Pei Wen's new film is called "Shadow", and the role that Huang Baiyou is going to audition for is the protagonist, and it is even said that one person plays two roles, the first is the stand-in "Jingzhou", and the second is the metropolitan governor Ziyu who cultivated the shadow.

When it comes to stand-ins, the first reaction is Akira Kurosawa's shadow warrior, but the core of this movie is completely different, at most borrowing a setting.

"No wonder." Huang Baiyou knew why Pei Wen would agree to let him audition, to be honest, his current coffee position should not be in the eyes of this great director.

It is often said that domestic entertainment is going to end, but there are still many actors from the age of 35 to 45 who want to have good looks and acting skills, and they want to have box office acting skills, and Huang Baiyou is not on the list.

Even if there is Hong Zijian's strong recommendation, it should only be one reason, and on the other hand, the reason should be "Seven Me", he plays seven roles, and this movie is one person plays two roles.

"I can't get a complete character script, and I can't start the reward task." Huang Baiyou fell into deep thought.

The big director's play, it is difficult to get a complete script before joining the group, and all he currently has is the script of Jingzhou's pretending to be the governor of the capital fighting wits with the monarch in the court, plus a little script framework explanation.

Huang Baiyou inquired that this episode was adapted from an article "Three Kingdoms - Jingzhou".

"If I can, should I let the Little Autumn Mountain Repertory Troupe adapt it into a play?" Huang Baiyou came up with this idea, but it was too late, and the email said that the audition time was not long, and even if he completed the adaptation of the drama quickly, he would not be able to complete the reward task.

"Then let's use the emotional fragments you already have to audition once." Huang Baiyou didn't even have time to eat the most important breakfast of the day, so he read it first.

Huang Baiyou looked at the original work, "Jingzhou of the Three Kingdoms" is an anthology, which is full of essays and essays, and the last one is "Three Kingdoms Jingzhou", which can't be said to have nothing to do with the story in the script, but it is also unrelated.

Even the name was changed, it was originally written as the story of Zhou Yu and Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, but Pei Wen directly changed it to alternate history.

"Capricious, really capricious, if you don't say that you have something to do with this, I can't see it." Huang Baiyou studied a few pages of the script again.

Got into the habit, even if there was no reward for the characters, Huang Baiyou subconsciously wrote about character analysis.

[Director Pei Wen should want to use the "three males" structure of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Meng in the original work, but the scene where Zhou Yu kills Sun Quan goes against the public's perception, so in order not to offend the mainstream aesthetic expectations, the director chooses to be completely empty.

In terms of discourse construction, the purpose of alternate literature is nothing more than the rewriting of history and the fiction of history. The overhead is not imagination out of thin air, but the subjective processing of the creator's own historical knowledge, and finally forms a kind of "copying" that covers the original text, so what is the purpose of director Pei Wen's copy?

…… ］

Huang Baiyou stopped his pen, looked through Pei Wen's interview and other photographic works, and blurted out, "It's alive, Jingzhou is immortal as a stand-in." ”

"Different from the discussion in "Shadow Warrior", whether the shadow still has meaning when the master dies, the ending of this script should be a stand-in to kill the master. There is no predetermined fate, not even a shadow...... Of course, if you guessed wrong, when I didn't say. Huang Baiyou continued to write.

During the period when Huang Baiyou was analyzing the script, there were also major events happening, which made things that even the searchlight company hadn't thought of-

The movie exploded in Asia, to be precise, in Japan and South Korea!
