Zhou Yun's experience filming "Four Killers" was not exactly pleasant.
It's not that the movie itself wasn't good, in fact, it should have turned out pretty well.
It's just that Zhou Yun couldn't quite handle Director Hou Mengjie's style during the shoot.
The kind that nitpicks and insists everything be performed exactly as he imagined.
Hou Mengjie doesn't give actors much freedom when filming.
Actors are merely tools in his hands, like a painter's brush.
A brush isn't supposed to have its own will.
However, "Four Killers" being selected for the Venice International Film Festival's main competition unit probably makes Yao Yuanfeng overjoyed.
This is the second time a film controlled by New Shield has made it into one of the three major film festivals. The first time was with "Life," and this is also New Shield's first time making it into the main competition unit of the three major film festivals.
