[VV] Kris Wu casts opposite Liu Yi Fei in So You’re Still Here

Looks like Kris Wu is looking to be recognized as a film actor, he’s been receiving offers left and right. Boy knows how to make the right connections in this world. Just short of wrapping up his movie, Lao Pao Er, with Li Yi Feng [first mentioned in the news batch here], he has locked another project with the beautiful Liu Yi Fei in a film adaptation of the novel, So You’re Still Here, by Xin Yi Wu. The same author for the film adaptation,So Young, directed by the lovely Vicki Zhao.

What’s the premise…. Well, not like we haven’t heard or seen the tribulations of first love before. With opposite personalities and bacground, these two adolescents are drawn toward each other at the time of their youth but misunderstandings and inexperience tore them apart. Our heroine finds herself pregnant shortly after. What will happen to her and her child? Years later, will their love be rekindled? Filming begins late March/early April.

   This girl is just stunning. Her acting has improved in For Love or Money but its not that great of a leap where she could guide another inexperienced actor like Kris Wu. Both of them seem to be in the same pool of deficiency when it comes to emoting….

   If all else fails….we have plenty of pretty to look forward to.

   Meh, not a fan of Liu Yi Fei, but I haven’t seen her in anything lately (mainly because I avoided her since she scarred me eons ago with her onscreen performance). Maybe I’ll give it a shot; at least they are pretty =\

   I’m trying hard not to react negatively to this news but honestly I’m kind of failing. LYF, known for years for her stone-cold acting, may have improved considerably in For Love or Money but she’s not at the calibre where she can lead a new, inexperienced actor and every glimpse I’ve seen of Kris (in MVs, I’ll admit) hints that he’s both wooden and likely unable to act. In other words, this movie is being cast for looks. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong by both actors, but for now at least I’m keeping my expectations way down.

      Yes, keep it low. Projects like these only look for big and popular names. Unfortunately…

OT: I have been really busy nowadays but I've found a new hobby: Chinese internet novels. The novel that will be adapted for Kris and Liu Yi Fei's film has been kindly translated in English in its complete form. Xin Yi Wu is fast becoming one of my favourite authors but right now I'm reading Eastern Palace by Fei Wo Si Cun - a story I'm really hoping Kris eventually gets to work on in the future because I can totally picture him as the perfect Li Cheng Yin. 

 

Anyway, here's the link to the English translation of You Are Still Here (原æ¥ä½ è¿˜åœ¨è¿™é‡Œ) by Xin Yi Wu. Please say thanks to the translator after reading it for her hard work!

crystal ximeizi my stunning chinese empress, but her acting isn't all that...

[Haus of Tzu:Lai]

Dream pairing becomes reality.

[punkster]

Crystal is too much for Kris tbh

[Nanamiko]

Stunning cast

[h0neanias]

So You’re Still Here

 

Silly jokes incoming in 3, 2, 1...

[all your maknaes]

crystal ximeizi my stunning chinese empress, but her acting isn't all that...

 

Yeah, ever since in Condor Heroes!

I love this pairing and I hope it all works out.

So Young was such a good movie, but there seems to be a lot of coming-of-age/first love movies from China lately, I hope this one doesn't become redundant. I'd still watch it either way though, cause that cast is   

[Mrs.Galaxy]

I swear I saw a krisho fanfic on tumblr with the same name.

 

Anyway. This is great. I'll watch it

[Angel_Nessa]

At least, the movie will have a visual slayage. I'll read the novel. 

 

 

 

Boy knows how to make the right connections in this world. 

 

 

^ I never doubted about it. 

 

 

 

Our heroine finds herself pregnant shortly after. What will happen to her and her child?

 

 

 

^ Kris will play a father again? I'm getting used to his image as a father, that's not good

I think she had a miscarriage. I'm not completely sure, don't hold me accountable for anything.

 

 

This makes me wonder, should I create a spoiler! thread so I could post a summary of the whole novel.

 

So You're Still Here is definitely not Xin Yi Wu's best work, but it was her first, which still makes it kinda special.

So this person (skyblaze77) has only seen his acting in MVs? Unless you've actually seen his movie please don't imply WYF is bad. People like this annoy the shit out of me.
