From an wild adventurer to an ancient hero, Huang Ming travels across time and space in his video game world of "King of the game."

Having been dubbed the television version of “Inception”,  the new time-traveling drama “King of the Game” draws inspiration from electronic games.  “King of the Game” is a fantasy idol drama by CCTV. With a combination of magical crossover and traveling between reality and virtual worlds, it tells the story of a group of avid game fans who, while trying to break a game record, enter a virtual world. In the end, this becomes the story of how they regain their self-respect as they find their way back to reality.

Upcoming Hunan TV stars Zheng Kai and Li Sheng (New HZGG) pair up in Separate.Love

No drama’s as lucky as Separate Love. Featuring talented and good-looking artists who rose to fame only after the drama has filmed, Separate.Love gained an all-star cast on a low budget, and an amazing photographer. Heaven Eternal, Earth Everlasting’s star Huang Ming, the New Huan Zhu Ge Ge/My Fair Princess Li Sheng, , upcoming Journey of the West Chamber lead Zhang Xiaochen, Hunan TV’s upcoming red star Zheng Kai, singer Tian Yuan,  and Dreams Link/Strands of Love star Zhang Jiani all join together to form a cast that I adore.

Watch the trailer below, and see more pictures of the drama below. It’s rare to see a modern drama with such good photography, so eat up the eye candy.

Heaven Eternal, Earth Everlasting

The film unfortunately did not win anything at Tokyo which makes me extremely sad. This makes the film less marketable, and everyone involved less marketable, and that would be just a shame because I don’t recall the last time I became so interested in a film simply from reading a synopsis, watching the trailer, and watching the interviews from the lovely cast and crew.

The film tells the story of  an intelligent girl, Shen Xingchen (Liu Dong ) as she goes from age 16  in high school to work at age 30, from 1993 to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the most rapid times in China’s development. Throughout, the theme is an idea of is there anything everlasting in this world? Is there everlasting love? This is the question that Shen faces, along with her love,  childhood friend Ming Yuan (Huang Ming). Both are scarred emotionally from the devastating ways their parents’  relationships ended and wonder whether love is worth it if eventually, it simply doesn’t last.

At first I just wanted to see this because of Huang Ming, but after watching the trailer (seriously, watch it) and reading about it,  it looks so amazing, from the story to the art direction.

Chinese Actors Enjoy Tokyo While at TIFF

The two Chinese Films are in competition at the TIFF are getting extremely favorable feedback, which means heavy coverage from the  Sina website. Their cameras followed two young stars, actor Huang Ming and actress Tong Yao to their trips around Tokyo.

I’ve said before that Huang Ming is one of those actors who I really hoped would get a break because he’s awesome in acting and personality, but I didn’t think it’d be when he was only 23, because right now, for various reasons, most mainland Chinese actors only hit it big when they’re close to age 30.  And it is so gratifying to see someone I’ve been rooting to get famous all of a sudden get so many pictures, coverage, interviews…it’s just rare, and for some other actors I like it will probably never happen. Must savor the moment.

As for Tong Yao, all I know is she looks incredibly similar to Zhang Ziyi, except it’s  rumored her acting is better (They’re both from Central Academy of Drama, but I think Zhang Ziyi entered when she was too young.)

Chinese FilmStars at the Pusan and Tokyo Film Festivals and the Golden Rooster

China’s Film Stars are spread out all over Asia! I decided to do a quick photo post to locate all of them…first is Pusan, because not that  many Chinese people that went, and also it came first chronologically, so it’s easier to just get it out of the way.
