A decade after co-starring in the Oscar-nominated blockbuster The Banquet, Chinese A-list actress Zhang Ziyi and veteran actor Ge You have reunited in an upcoming espionage thriller, The Wasted Times.
中国一线女演员章子怡与资深演员葛优将联手出演间谍惊悚片《罗曼蒂克消亡史》，这是二人在奥斯卡提名影片《夜宴》上映10年后的再度合作。
The wartime spy story tells the tale of Japanese invaders in the 1930s, and a large part of the dialogue is delivered in Shanghai dialect and Japanese.
At an event to celebrate the movie's premiere on Tuesday evening in Beijing, Ge You, however, said it was a difficult role to play.
"The parts of being with Ziyi are much less than what I'd expected. When I was asked to describe my relationship with Ziyi in the movie, I answered it's a bit morally ambiguous. But I was corrected immediately since they believe the level of the shady side in our ties is a lot more severe than my descript ion."
Ge You's mention of their relationship also prompted Zhang Ziyi to recall a crucial piece of dialogue.
"I pleaded for Ge You to take me away. Thinking carefully, how much I might care about him since it's not easy for a girl to make such a proposal."
The film has been given an English theme song "Take Me To Shanghai".
