[movie poster][animal version] For Love or Money check: Cold snake + Soft bunny. Love kills.

Well, to tell y’all the truth, I was kind of speechless when I ran across this For Love or Money animal version movie poster, especially since it was Director Gao who shared it, which meant it was real and official. And kinda scary.
So, I headed over to Director Gao’s Weibo to see what I could possibly learn from his post.
In a word—not much. But that’s not his fault. In this case, Chinese simply does not translate into English very well. About all I can figure is that it’s somewhat representative of Liu Yi Fei’s character’s (“Xing Lu”) state of mind, especially with all the horrible things the character goes through in the film. Not to mention all the things Yi Fei herself suffered behind the scenes in order to bring her character to life, wow. Talk about a lot of physical work! How many times did she have to fall into that water or hang off the side of that building?
And then I noticed that the official For Love or Money movie page on Douban.com has switched out the earlier poster that was all Yi Fei and roses to this poster as well. Holy Toledo.
So. In light of this newest development, and taking into consideration something the director said in his post (“冷蛇+软兔”相爱相杀。), the driving force behind the plot might boil down to one thing. “Cold snake + Soft bunny.” Love kills.
We’ve been worried about Yi Fei’s character all this time because of the movie stills that have shown her bloodied and in danger. Heck, maybe we should have been worrying about Rain’s character (Xu Chengxun) instead! I mean, he is facing a cobra here, and cobras eat rabbits like it’s going out of style.
Just sayin. 🙂

Well! this looks wierd, but what i don’t understand is why the poster of SHK & Rain has been replaced with yi-fei & Rain instead. I loved the other poster more than this one.

After watching the trailer, I had a feeling that this movie wasn’t going to end well for anyone in it. But you’re right, Stephe. This poster is downright scary.
Well done, I have to say. Makes me want to watch the movie even more.
