[单项选择]Renowned Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s latest film, Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, held a trial premiere in the southern city of Guangzhou on December 11 th.
Set in the 1920s, Riding alone for Thousands of Miles tells a story of a Japanese man (Ken Takakura) , accompanies his dying son to learn the local opera in China’s Yunnan, where they meet a local girl.
The girl was played by Jiang Wen, a graduate student from Beijing Film Academy. Literally, Qian Li Zou Dan Ji means "lone fide over a thousand lis" (1 "li" equals to 0.31 mile).
Just like the rifle of Zhang’s last film, Shi Mian Mai Fu (English rifle: House Of Flying Daggers), which means "ambushed from ten sides", Qian Li Zou Dan Ji has a metaphor meaning as well.
The film is budgeted at US $7.2 million, much smaller than Zhang’s last two films, Hero and House Of Flying Daggers.
