"Sauce Garden Lane·Unsolved Cases" exposed special production featuring Chen Kexin and Zhang Ziyi crafted a unique case in the Republic of China

Directed by Chen Kexin and adapted from a real mystery case in the Republic of China, the first film "Sauce Yuan Lane·Unsolved Case", released today a special production special on "Zhen Nongtang Zhen Strange Case". The creative team revealed the extremely sophisticated shooting details behind the scenes, recreating the strange case of killing a husband that shocked Shanghai Beach in 1945 in the texture of a century-old alley. Chen Kexin uses his cold aesthetic language and unique narrative expression to deconstruct the abyss of human nature behind unsolved cases layer by layer; Zhang Ziyi subverts Zhan Zhou's previous image of "killing a husband and dismembering a corpse" and interprets the ups and downs of small people under the torrent of the times. The director brings his powerful team to deeply delve into details with "sincerity and obsession", and uses the fireworks of real scenes and the penetration of character creation to sincerely recreate the "strange cases and strange women of the Republic of China." This women's anti-murder blockbuster, which interweaves destiny and awakening of human nature, will be released nationwide on June 21 and is in hot pre-sale.

Zhang Ziyi subverts the style and interprets the bloody strange case, the sense of fragmentation, and the perfect interpretation of the strange woman of the Republic of China

The film "Jiangyuan Lane·Unsolved Case" is adapted from the "Jiangyuan Lane Husband Murdering Case", one of the four major strange cases in the Republic of China. With the release of today's special production, director Chen Kexin narrated a long-standing mystery case in the Republic of China. In 1945, a horrific murder occurred in Jiangyuan Lane, Xinchang Road, Shanghai. The emaciated woman Zhan Zhou (played by Zhang Ziyi) murdered her husband and dismembered 16 pieces of body, shocking the entire Shanghai Beach. There were opinions for a time. Was there another accomplice behind the case? What is the secret behind such a strange woman? Arouse the audience to daydream.

Leading actor Zhang Ziyi said frankly: "This is the most subversive look I have seen since I started filming. The missing eyebrows, irregular teeth, birthmarks on my face, and appearance characteristics echo the characters 'hearts." From the moment she dressed up, she saw "Zhan Zhoushi" in the mirror and made Zhang Ziyi shout "I want to cry". This is not only a breakthrough in style, but also a deep empathy with the character's tragic fate. During the filming, Zhang Ziyi's eyes were bloodshot and full of explosive power. She instantly conquered Chen Kexin in front of the monitor. The ultimate performance allowed the audience to instantly understand Zhan Zhou's obsession that he had endured for many years through the screen. In order to match Zhan Zhou's personality characteristics, styling director Wu Lilu cleverly handled the important dress qipao in the play. The qipao, which was originally clean and beautiful during marriage, became fragmented due to domestic violence during marriage, forming an intertext with Zhan Zhou's marriage. This seemingly weak character but full of resistance deeply fascinated Zhang Ziyi-Zhan Zhou would put together unique calico decorations on broken cheongsam, and he would have the courage to resist in the abyss of domestic violence, breaking open the cage of the times with his broken body. The wrestling between the little people and their destiny shook the nerves of every audience.

Chen Kexin's "Real Scenes and Real Obsessions" ingenuity creates real-life shooting of old Shanghai alleys to restore the background of the era of unsolved cases

Chen Kexin takes the real "Saueryuan Lane Husband Murdering Case" as the background, spans eighty years of time, breaks through the narrative framework of traditional crime films, and uses unique aesthetic brushwork to delicately outline the retro charm of old Shanghai, showing the texture of the film. The main creative team strives for excellence in visual presentation and finds precious old alley buildings in the core of the prosperous city. Each room is decorated in a different age, and the traces of peeling wall skin seem to silently confide in the vicissitudes of time. The main creative team chose to conduct live-action shooting in a narrow alley, which not only made it easier for the actors to integrate into the roles and show more superb acting skills, but also allowed the audience to return to the Republic of China Shanghai, which was full of fireworks and hidden crises step by step.

As Zhang Ziyi said: "" Jiangyuan Lane·Unsolved Case "is not a simple case. This story is full of suspense, dramatic conflicts, and full of power." The film creators carefully polished it and strived to truly restore the hidden feelings and bitterness behind "Sauce Garden Lane" from inside to outside the play. In the troubled times, a weak woman with no right to choose rose up in desperate situations and fought against the times in the oppressive and narrow Jiangyuan lane. A case has also been involved in many storms of the times, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of that era and human nature.
