Farewell My Concubine cast

Farewell My Concubine is a literary film produced by Tomson Film Co., Ltd., adapted from Li Bihua's novel of the same name, directed by Chen Kaige and written by Li Bihua and Reid. Leslie Cheung, Gong Li and ZhangFeng yi starred.

When Chen Kaige filmed Farewell My Concubine, White, the former producer of Beijing Art Center, became the production director of Chen Kaige. In the choice of the leading actor, Chen Kaige first thought of John Lone, but the harsh conditions offered by the John Lone brokerage company made the crew unheard of.

First of all, because we don't know which country John Lone will shoot in when he starts, the crew must book air tickets for several countries at the same time.

Second, John Lone's two dogs have to go in and out with him, so ordinary hotels can't stay.

Third, John Lone must be equipped with two bodyguards, two servants, a line teacher, a Putonghua teacher and a body teacher.

Fourthly, John Lone must wash her face and brush her teeth with mineral water flown in from foreign countries or Hongkong every day, not to mention food and drinks.

Fifth, campers should be equipped with special tennis courts and swimming pools. The request made by the brokerage company is an insult to the cast of Farewell My Concubine. Everyone is excited about artistic creation, but some people play big cards like this.

Finally, Chen Kaige, Chen Huaiai, Gu Changwei, Li De and Zhang Jinzhan voted. Chen Kaige abstained, and the other four people unanimously opposed it. Only then did Chen Kaige give up the idea of choosing John Lone.
