Description

[Machine Translation] Production cost: $23 million, shooting time: 8 months. The Chinese-speaking film industry has gathered all its strength! Superstar Chow Yun-fat's new masterpiece! Chow Yun-fat took on the role of Confucius, the most awe-inspiring challenge for a Chinese actor. After a long and distinguished career in Hong Kong and Hollywood, he finally gives his best performance in a mainland Chinese film. The role of Nanzi, an immensely beautiful woman who appears before Confucius, is played by Jo Shun, one of the four most beautiful actresses in China, who is also known for her role in "Winter Song" and other films. The film is directed by Hu Mei, a female director belonging to the Chinese New Wave generation. --The story takes place in the 6th century BC. The Zhou Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and the various states are engaged in a bloody struggle for supremacy. Confucius, born and raised in the family of a down-and-out aristocrat in the Lu Dynasty, was concerned about the turbulent times and took up the post of a government official in the Lu Kingdom. Do not do unto others what you would not have them do to you. He advocated the abolition of customs for the sake of the people, and his political philosophy, which he created himself, brought dignity and hope to the nation of Lu. To see righteousness and not do it is to lack courage. However, the times had not yet caught up with him. Caught up in political intrigues and hindered by various barriers, Confucius led many of his disciples on a journey around the country in order to realize his ideas.

Description in Japanese

孔子の教え / 洋画

製作費2,300万ドル、撮影期間8ヶ月。中国語圏映画界が総力を結集! スーパースター、チョウ・ユンファ新たなる代表作! 中国人俳優にとっては最も畏れ多い挑戦ともいえる孔子役に挑んだのは、チョウ・ユンファ。時代時代に忘れがたい代表作を残してきた彼が、香港、ハリウッドでの活躍を経て、遂に中国本土映画で、最高の演技を見せた。孔子の前に現われる絶世の美女・南子には、『ウィンター・ソング』などで中国四大美人女優の一人に数えられるジョウ・シュン。監督は中国ニューウェイブ世代に属する女性監督フー・メイ。――紀元前六世紀。周王朝は没落を迎えようとし、諸候国が覇権を握ろうと血で血を争う戦いが繰り広げられていた。魯国の没落貴族の家庭に生まれ育った孔子は、乱世を憂い魯国に仕官した。己の欲せざるところ、人に施すなかれ。民のために因習の撤廃を進言し、自らが作り上げた政治思想を掲げた彼は、魯国に尊厳と希望をもたらしていった。義を見て為ざるは、勇なきなり。しかし、時代はまだ追いついていなかった。政治的陰謀に巻き込まれ、様々な障壁に阻まれた孔子は、その思想を実現するべく、多くの弟子を率いて、諸国を巡る旅に出た。
メイキング、ミュージックビデオ、予告編(予定)
