Fan Bingbing will step in to replace Song Hye-Kyo in Chen Kaige's Zhao's Orphan.
Despite claims of a normal cast shuffle, the incident led to a row over the recent statement by Song Hye-kyo's agent company denying that the star had ever received any invitation from the film's production crew or even met Director Chen in person. The statement also warned South Korea's domestic media to be cautious with the publicity stunt tactics of China's showbiz.

Director Ning Haiqiang's military action film "Jian Shi Chu Ji" (J-10's Sortie) will meet the public soon. A series of stage photos have been released on Tuesday.

The 46-year-old has worked as a graphic designer and art director, creating hundreds of album covers, including one featuring a tastefully naked Karen Mok stretched on a black leather couch in 1996.
But was his work for Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar Wai that he speaks proudly of. In 1997, Wong asked him to be one of three photographers on the set of the movie, Happy Together (1997). Shya came up with cool stills in yellow, green and blue hues for the story of a pair of gay lovers.
On further collaborations, director Wong's instructions to him were as cryptic as the script-less treatment his actors get.
For In The Mood For Love (2000), his brief to Shya was only one word: red.

HK Magazine: Hot Summer Days
I’ll tell you why the film is really enjoyable: Angelababy.
THR: Apart Together (Tuan Yuan)
Bottom Line: Drama about a family separated by civil war has universal resonance but skims over deeper historical and psychological trauma.
Screen Daily: Little Big Soldier
Compared with Jackie Chan’s usual frenetic extravaganzas, Little Big Soldier is almost low-key, a reflection on the pointlessness of war, even though reflections have not traditionally been action star Chan’s strong point.
Variety: Little Big Soldier
An "Odd Couple"-cum-martial-arts-road movie set some 2,000 years ago during the end of China's chaotic Warring States prior to unification, "Little Big Soldier" is a Jackie Chan vehicle without any surprises.
Far from the closeted capital of Asian anomie so often portrayed in Taiwanese fest fare, Taipei becomes a warm, romantic city, peopled with likeable oddballs, in Boston-born American Chinese Arvin Chen's immensely likable feature debut, "Au Revoir Taipei."

Taipei Times: ‘Monga’ wins special incentives
Monga grossed more than NT$200 million at the box office during its first two weeks of release in Taiwan, entitling its producers to hefty incentives, said Chen Chih-kuan, director of the Government Information Office’s (GIO’s) Department of Motion Pictures, at a GIO reception in Berlin.
Chen said that under the government’s program of special incentives for the film industry, any locally produced movie with box office receipts exceeding NT$50 million entitles its makers to receive 20 percent of its revenues as a subsidy for the company’s next production.

Actress Maggie Cheung Ho-Yee kicked out of boyfriend's home after split
The reason for their separation is rumoured to be Cheung's bad temper. Many said Tsang could not put up with Cheung's behaviour and ended their relationship.
Cheung's close friend claimed Cheung's bad temper could have been the result of the rare Grave's Disease which Cheung contracted five years ago. The autoimmune disease can result in an overactive thyroid which makes the sufferer irritable.
