Angelababy, Huang Xiaoming and Korean actor Jae Hee play the three leads in Gao Qunshu's ("The Message", "Beijing Blues") "Crimes of Passion". The plot (via JayneStars): Lu Yueyue (Angelababy), is a female detective who gets tangled up in an investigation about a missing historical artifact. In the process, she falls in love with prime suspect Kim Jung Hee (Jae Hee), the son of a powerful Korean gangster. Huang Xiaoming plays Yueyue’s colleague and former love interest, Xue Yu.
"Crimes" opens on August 8 and faces off against the Guo Jingming juggernaut "Tiny Times 2". The release of "Tiny Times 2" was moved up after the wild success (and subsequent condemnation in some circles) of the first "Tiny Times" earlier in June. A total of four films based on Guo's popular novels are planned.
Vivian Hsu plays a single mother trying to raise her 8 year-old son, Tiger (Ah Duan). Tiger frequently fantasizes that his mother turns into a robot. Boss Eric Tsang sends Vivian off to assist an eccentric photographer, Huang Xiaoming, who obsessively searches for UFOs. Looks fun. Opens Aug. 9.
