According to information from Sina Weibo, the iconic film Titanic is set to have a Chinese version soon. Currently, the project is in the preliminary stages, and many stars are rumored to be participating. Among those mentioned for the lead role is a prominent actress from the Chinese entertainment industry.
Specifically, it has been reported that Liu Yifei, the “fairy of the screen” in Chinese cinema, is set to replace Kate Winslet in the role of Rose for the Chinese rendition of Titanic. Additionally, there are rumors that Liu Jialing and Gong Li will also make cameo appearances.
Currently, the news about the upcoming Chinese version of Titanic, especially with Liu Yifei taking on the lead role, has left many fans curious and excited. However, many netizens believe that the project may face significant challenges due to the high production costs involved. It is worth noting that in the 1990s, director James Cameron invested heavily in making the original ship to facilitate the filming of Titanic.
Moreover, Liu Yifei’s casting has become a subject of debate. Some netizens argue that it will be difficult for Liu Yifei to embody the character of Rose convincingly. Previously, her portrayal of the character Mulan generated mixed reactions globally, with some praising her performance while others criticized it.
Audience comments:
– “If Leonardo DiCaprio returns to China as Jack, that would be incredible.”
– “Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei should work together; it would be amazing.”
– “Please tell me how much this will cost…”
– “The Titanic has arrived in China.”
In the meantime, Liu Yifei will return to the silver screen with the film Flower of the World. The project, produced by the famous Tien Le, is expected to create a buzz as it gathers many prominent male stars such as Hu Ge and Lin Gengxin. However, Liu Yifei has yet to show any signs of returning to the big screen after her significant role in Titanic.
