The first trailer of Jiang Wen's long-awaited The Sun Also Rises was finally revealed earlier today at a press conference in Beijing. This film was written and directed by Jiang Wen (Devils on the Doorstep, In the Heat of the Sun), based on short story "Velvet" by women writer Ye Mi. The writing team also include Shu Ping and Guo Shi Xing. The cast include Jiang Wen, Anthony Wong, Jaycee Chan, Zhou Yun, Joan Chen and Kong Wei.

 

The film tells four mini-stories:

 

Spoiler Alert! Highlight to read!

 

A single mother (Zhou Yun), going crazy, builds a beautiful "white house" for his son (Jaycee Chan); a nurse (Joan Chen), seeing someone (Jiang Wen), is secretly in love with a doctor (Anthony Wong); someone (Jiang Wen), planning to kill his wife's new lover (Jaycee Chan), looks for a piece of velvet to proving something first; and two women rides camels in the desert, one of them is about to marry someone (Jiang Wen) and the other one is pregnant with a boy (Jaycee Chan)...

 

Spoiler Ends!

 

Once a hopeful contender of this year's Cannes Film Festival, The Sun Also Rises missed the deadline for submission because the celluloid of some "beautiful" shots were ruined during the post-production. Made by Beijing-based Bu Yi Le Hu Films, its global rights have been picked up by Hong Kong's Emperor Motion Pictures.

The trailer (length: 1:50) will start at about 2/3 of the video. Enjoy the great camera work by Zhao Fei (The Emperor and the Assassin, Raise the Red Lantern, The Horse Thief), great production design by Cao Jiuping (Together, Shanghai Triad and Ju Dou), great music by Joe Hisaishi (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke) and editing by Zhang Yifan (The Longest Night in Shanghai, A Letter from an Unknown Woman, Devils on the Doorstep).
