Lee Kang-sheng Stars in Qiu Jiongjiong’s ‘Fuxi: Joy in Four Chapters,’ Selected for Hong Kong Project Market
Qiu Jiongjiong's 'Fuxi: Joy in Four Chapters,' starring Lee Kang-sheng, has been selected for the Hong Kong - Asia Film Financing Forum.
“I wanted to make a film that spans thousands of years — four feasts, where gods, mortals, immortals, spirits and ordinary people from Sichuan’s myths, legends and history all sit at the same table and eat together,” says Qiu. A hand-drawn concept illustration by director Qiu Jiongjiong in which the moon and the sun sit on a seesaw, a symbolic visual from the film’s conceptual world. The film, shot entirely on soundstages using painted sets, blends theatrical artifice with cinematic methods to create what Qiu describes as “a cartoonish form and a comical flavor” moving between “the real and the surreal, what the eye sees and what the mind imagines.”
