GlobalTimes: My own movie
Much influenced by American sitcom-classic Friends, which had a huge fan base in China, My Own Swordsman centers on six characters whose relationships intertwine through friendship, family and romance, and is set in a hostel being managed in ancient China. With the same cast, director and screenwriter, the film version continues the initial's stories, while injecting today's social including house purchase and relocation, family finances and the "marriage crisis."

With winter vacation meaning there's a nation of children who need entertaining, three Chinese animation films are filling in this traditionally peak-time for box-office family fun: Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf (January 21), Old Master Q and Little Ocean Tiger (January 27) and Little Big Panda (February 3) are all scheduled for cinemas over the next four weeks.

Danwei: Chinese horror films: It was all just a dream
Satisfying horror movies are difficult to come by in China. Film censors on the mainland frown on the supernatural, nor do they look kindly on serial murders.

The Chinese box office hit Sophie's Revenge, starring Zhang Ziyi as the romantic comedy lead, was the sophomore directing effort by China-born, American-educated filmmaker/cartoonist Eva Jin.

Movie Guide: 'East Wind, Rain' (CRI)
During World War II, Japan allegedly prearranged coded weather forecasts to alert its diplomats overseas of ensuing attacks on a foreign country. "North wind, cloudy" would mean the Soviet Union; "West wind, clear" Britain; "East wind, rain" the United States, or more specifically, Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
"East Wind, Rain" also stars Fan Bingbing, Yu Rongguang, Li Xiaoran, and Wang Baoqiang. (Opens Apr.22)
Ning Caishen, the film's screenwriter, said Yan Ni will still star as the manager of the Tong Fu hotel in the film, even though it had previously been reported that she would not appear in the movie because she was not satisfied with the salary on offer.

New faces of Filmart
YANG QING
Yang's "One Night in Supermarket," a stylish and quirky low-budget laffer, has captured the imagination of China's growing army of young cinemagoers, with boffo B.O. to boot. The 28-year-old from Chongqing in southwestern China wrote "One Night" in 2006 and shot it in just 29 days on a budget of $3.65 million. Yang won best scriptwriter at the Media Awards of the 12th Shanghai Intl. Film Festival in 2009.
ARVIN CHEN
The Boston-born director of "Au Revoir Taipei" cut his teeth working as an assistant in Taipei to the late, great Taiwanese director Edward Yang, and has also impressed Wim Wenders, who executive produced and gave behind-the-scenes support for "Au Revoir Taipei," Chen's feature debut. "Au Revoir Taipei" has delighted crix and won the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) prize at the Berlin Intl. Film Festival in February. Chen had previously won a Silver Bear at Berlin for his short "Mei" in 2007.
EVA JIN
The Chinese-American filmmaker generated an interesting first last year: with her Zhang Ziyi starrer "Sophie's Revenge," she become the first female Chinese director to make more than 100 million yuan ($14.65 million) at the B.O. She also sold the English-language remake rights of the film, which she wrote. An early sign of her talent was when her short film "The 17th Man" won an Emmy Award for university students.


As the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival kicks off Sunday, the local movie industry is re-evaluating its role in Chinese-language cinema.

'Suzie Wong' star, Nancy Kwan, shocked at destruction of old Hong Kong
“Hong Kong was really very charming in those days,” she told AFP in an interview ahead of the screening of a documentary about her life at the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market forum on Monday. 
The documentary, entitled “To Whom it May Concern: Ka Shen’s Journey”, a reference to Kwan’s Chinese name, traces the ups and downs of her career and life, including the death of her only son in 1996 at age 33.
A reformer and pioneer of Hong Kong cinema, director Patrick Lung Kong vowed to change the face of Cantonese cinema and was ahead of his time in farsighted portrayals of sensitive social issues like the plague in "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" and the anti-nuclear film "Hiroshima 28". He was keen to explore new ways of storytelling and experimented with different editing and pacing techniques. His films are impressive viewing, even today.
