筹备已久的影片《梅兰芳》将于今年5月正式开机拍摄，不过，目前让导演陈凯歌最头痛的是扮演梅兰芳的演员人选迟迟难以定夺。虽然之前曾传出他约见王力宏和黎明的说法，但王力宏和黎明出演梅兰芳的可能微乎其微，基本已双双出局。剧组人员表示，影片已决定分别在北京和上海两地拍摄，并且将在摄影棚内搭建老北京著名的“吉祥戏院”。

Renowned Chinese director Chen Kaige's new film biography
of Peking opera legend Mei Lanfang will begin shooting Beijing and Shanghai in
May.
A lot of the important scenes for the movie Mei Lanfang will be shot in a
replica of the old Jixiang Theatre,
which will be constructed in a studio inside the Beijing Film Studios.
Many prominent Peking operas stars, including Mei Lanfang, Yu Shuyan and Yang
Xiaolou, performed at the original Jixiang Theatre, which was built in 1906.
Mei Lanfang's son Mei Baojiu says he has compiled comprehensive biographical
information about his father for the director, including pictures, records and
archival film footage.
No actor has yet been selected to play Mei Lanfang, though Chen Kaige is
rumored to have discussed the role with Taiwan pop star Leehom Wong and Hong
Kong veteran singer Leon Lai.
Mei Lanfang was the first artist to win widespread international recognition
by performing the Peking Opera to an overseas audience. Over the course of his
career, he added his own flair to traditional characters, shaping a style of his
own and forming "The Mei Lanfang School".
