Chen Kexin confirmed that the budget for Li Na's biopic exceeded 100 million yuan. Ali Pictures may intervene

The film will be produced by Chen Kexin's "We Make","We Distribute" will be responsible for distribution, and Alibaba Pictures may also intervene. The budget will be controlled within the range of 15 million to 20 million US dollars, equivalent to about 100 million RMB.

Recently, Chen Kexin said in an exclusive interview with Variety magazine that he would confirm that he would shoot the biopic "Li Na: My Life" of China tennis legend Li Na. The budget of this film will be controlled within the range of US$15 million to US$20 million, equivalent to about 100 million yuan. Chan Kexin is currently actively selecting the actress to play Li Na. His goal is to actresses with athlete experience. The results are expected to be announced in July this year and released in 2016.

The film will be produced by Chen Kexin's "We Make","We Distribute" will be responsible for distribution, and Alibaba Pictures may also intervene.

In an interview with Variety magazine, Chen Kexin said that Li Na is a typical representative of the generation in the 1980s. She is so unconventional, and this generation is also the generation that gives orders today. From the films "China Partner" to "Dear", director Chen Kexin has continuously paid attention to and tried different themes to touch the reality of China society, and has achieved good box office results and good reputation. "China Partner" tells the story of three young people's dream journey across the century in the context of the 30 years of reform and opening up, while "Dear" successfully demonstrates complex humanity and difficult to judge in the theme of "anti-trafficking".

Regarding the theme of challenging the mainland again, Director Chan Kexin revealed the original intention of creating this film: "Li Na broke conventions, broke through traditions, dared to meet various challenges, turned the impossible into possible, and finally wrote her own Li Na-style legend. I am very curious and confused about why Li Na appears in today's China. I hope to explore behind Li Na's spirit and the impact she has on the entire China and the world."
