Return of the zombie movie? In "Crescent Moon Phantom"(lit.), a town is plagued by murders, rumors of zombie killings spread like wildfire. A female detective does not believe in zombies and tries to crack the mystery. Directed by Johnny Chen (Chen Long) and features young Mainland actors.
All of Ivy Chen's scenes have been reportedly cut from Tsai Yueh-Hsun's "Black & White, Episode 1: The Dawn of Assault". In addition, Angelababy's scenes have been resurrected. Her role as heroine was downgraded to supporting actress and practically invisible.. In a dramatic turnaround, Angelababy was revived but that meant Ivy Chen's scenes had to go due to excessive length. Director Tsai said that it was not personal and had nothing to do with her terminating an agency contract with him. Other actors' scenes, such as Paul Chun, Matt Wu and Ken Lin, were also trimmed to reduce the running time.

A few days ago while doing publicity for Doze Niu's "Love", Chen sighed and said, "this is life, the director said the film is too long."

However, the cuts left a mark on Chen as she became worried about her scenes in "Love" being cut out and she often asked Doze Niu to see the editing.
