玉卿嫂 (1984)

흥미로운 사실

Jade Love, aka Madam Yu Ching, is a 1984 Taiwanese film directed and written by Chang Yi, based on Pai Hsien-yung's 1960 novella of the same name and starring Yang Hui-Shan. The novella on which it was based was published in Modern Literature magazine in 1960. It is a tragic story set in Guilin, Province of Guangxi, in China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, about a young widow’s pursuit of her desire.

Production

The adaptation of Pai Hsien-Yung’s novella, Jade Love, was a project of Li Hsing (Chinese: 李行), produced by his film company, Tian Xia Film Company (Chinese: 天下電影公司). It was originally set to be directed by Fred Tan (Chinese: 但漢章), but it did not go well. Eventually, producer Li Hsing invited Chang Yi, who was one of the Taiwan New Cinema directors, to direct the film.

The lead actor, Yang Hui-Shan, was not Chang Yi’s first choice as Madam Yu Ching because Yang Hui-Shan was known for her sexualized image in many Taiwan exploitation films. Later, Yang Hui-Shan’s dedication to her role won her recognition.
