Zhang Yimou speaks about his latest film
Famous Chinese film director Zhang Yimou says he hopes to deliver his thoughts on culture, consciousness and people with his latest film "Coming Home."
"The film tells a simple story about going home. It's adapted from Yan Geling's works and is both a joyful and tragic love story. I want to express my thoughts on history and culture through Gong Li and Chen Daoming's excellent performances."
Zhang attended the 2014 Le Vision Pictures Summit held in Beijing on Thursday. He says that it has been his dream for many years to shoot this film. Now that he has joined LeVP, he can be fully devoted to making films.
"Coming Home" will hit Chinese screens in May and will reportedly compete at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"Muppets Most Wanted" receives negative early reviews
Early reviews of "Muppets Most Wanted" say the film is a weak sequel. The 2011 first film "The Muppets" delighted critics and grossed more than $165 worldwide. The sequel, which will hit theaters on March 21st, has been called hokey and lacking the irreverence and sincerity that made the 2011 film such a delight. Some suspect that the missing ingredient is Jason Segel, whose departure took with him necessary writing, acting and singing talents pivotal to reviving the franchise.
"Muppets Most Wanted" picks up where the Muppet gang left off in 2011 and sends the gang on a grand tour of Europe. So far, those disappointed with the film has mentioned its repetitive storyline and that it does not meet its comic potential.
However, not every review has been so critical. More positive critics say that it is clear the human stars are having a great time, which redeems the film as a whole.
Once the film hits wide release, the public audience can decide for themselves if "Muppets Most Wanted" lives up to their expectations.

Thousands of fans were present to cheer on their heroes. Fan Archer Zhai says he has listened to The Rolling Stones since his childhood and the Shanghai concert was one of the best moments of his life.
"For us, The Rolling Stones's songs are orthodox rock music which affects our growth. Their status and their words are still full of energy after several decades. This trip as a whole is worthwhile. I feel like time passes so fast."
With the rock stars all over seventy years old, fans cherish every opportunity to see them live in concert.
