At the time of filming, nearly 3,000 workers worked overtime on the set and created the director
Zhang Yimou
The heart of the palace. In order to meet the filming needs of the Tang Dynasty background of the film, Zhang Yimou also made the decision to change the scene, first building a wall as high as 5 meters, and then covering the square area of more than 10,000 square meters with yellow flowers. Tens of thousands of soldiers fight in this dazzling sea of flowers, which echoes the film's title and makes a huge visual impact. Yellow flowers are made by the crew in the show

Fashion design
magnate
Chow Yun-fat
There are seven different costumes, with the dragon robe and golden armor being the most impressive. It took more than 80 workers more than a month to rush to make the dragon robe, the whole piece of gold thread studded with 18-karat gold pieces, weighing about 40 kilograms, worth up to 1.25 million yuan. The whole set of gold armor is made of gold plated metal, and even the helmet weighs about 45 kilograms, which is heavier than the dragon robe. In addition to carrying these costumes every day to exercise his physical strength, Chow Yun-fat also has to arrive two to three hours early to let seven or eight staff dress him. Because the two costumes are so valuable, the crew also specially ordered a human-height safe to store the costumes

Curse of the Golden Flower was a huge box office success in the Chinese mainland, earning 15 million yuan on its opening night on December 14, 2006, and 96 million yuan and 291 million yuan on the mainland in its opening weekend, setting a new box office record for a Chinese-language film
[13]
.
Compared with Zhang Yimou's previous two costume commercial films,
Hero
"And"
Ambush on all sides
"Curse of the Golden Flower" in the North American box office market performance is not satisfactory. Since its release on December 21, 2006, the film has grossed $6.57 million in the United States and $48.215 million outside the United States, accounting for only 11.9% of the market
[14]
. In its opening weekend in the United States, the film grossed $1.87 million from 1,234 theaters, for an average of $1,517 per theater. Both "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" grossed more than $10 million in the United States.
Curse of the Golden Flower, as the first film in the history of China to truly realize the "global synchronous" release of the work, since its release in the United States on December 21, 2006, has triggered widespread coverage by the mainstream media in the United States. Include...
Time magazine
","
New York Times
","
Washington Post
"And"
Los Angeles Times
The four core print media outlets in the United States, including the film, have shown rare enthusiasm for the film. American film critics and media people generally praised the film with "epic work", "grand drama spectacle" and "visually brilliant"
[15]
.
Curse of the Golden Flower is indeed an amazing film and a drama full of tension. It is not a soap opera, but a grand drama. It's an indelible drama about sex and death. The film is gorgeously beautiful, not only in its colors, but also in its wild emotions. (
Time magazine review
)
Curse of the Golden Flower is an important step for Zhang Yimou to become a classic. The film's unrestrained artistic expression through extremely rich story scenes seems to have become a requirement for Western peers to take Zhang Yimou for granted, as if this is a natural gift to the world. (
Review by The New York Times
)
Curse of the Golden Flower is an epic work that transcends time and space. Every world and era created in Zhang Yimou's films has a timeless meaning. The pathological struggles of the royal family in the film
Ancient Greek tragedy
A sense of solemnity and form. (
The Los Angeles Times

Curse of the Golden Flower is a wild ride in costume cinema, Jean

Got a new taste
[15]
. (
The Washington Post
)
The overall feel of the film is good, the colors are bright and the visual impact is quite strong. Compared with the previous "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", "Curse of the Golden Flower" has significantly reduced the fighting scenes, while the portrayal of the plot and characters has increased. As the story is adapted from the classic drama Thunderstorm, the relationship between the characters in the film is very complicated, and the director is more careful in the presentation of contradictions and plot advancement, and its theme is the same as Thunderstorm
[16]

"Huashang Daily" review
)
In...
Raise the Red Lantern
In the film, Zhang explores the sexual politics of a large family, set at the turn of the last century. In Curse of the Golden Flower, the story is less depressing but more emotionally intense, and the film is set in the Tang court of the 10th century, one of the most prosperous and luxurious periods in Chinese history. The scenes inside and outside the palace are a marvel of styling, with gorgeous costumes, hair and makeup, and Zhang Yimou's meticulous, breathless red-gold tones
