Ann Hui Has Mixed Feelings about 'Golden Era'
The press conference of Hong Kong director Ann Hui's historical drama "Golden Era" was held in Beijing today (April 15th).
Ann joined screenwriter Li Qiang and leading cast members, including Tang Wei, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xuan and Hao Lei at the press conference.
In a short interview with China Radio International following the press conference, Hui said that she is not sure what to expect upon the release of "Golden Era", which comes out later this year, in October.
"It is an experimental film. I don't know how it will turn out. With so much money invested in the film, I was nervous when making it. But at the same time, I'm happy I did."
Commenting on actress Tang Wei's performance in the film, Hui said she will ultimately let audiences be the judges, but she thought that Tang did a great job.
"Golden Era" tells the stories of unconventional Chinese writer, Xiao Hong, and her husband, Xiao Jun, before the foundation of the People's Republic of China.

Washington Post, Guardian win Pulitzers for Snowden NSA revelations
The Washington Post and the Guardian U.S. were both awarded the Pulitzer Prize in public service on Monday.
The two winners were awarded the prize for revealing the U.S. government's sweeping surveillance efforts based on thousands of secret documents handed over by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, Edward Snowden.
The winning entries about the NSA's spy programs showed the government has collected information about millions of Americans' phone calls and emails based on its classified interpretations of laws passed after the terrorist attacks in September, 2011.
The stories were written by Barton Gellman at The Washington Post and Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Ewen MacAskill, whose work was published by the Guardian US, the British newspaper's American operation.
The disclosures touched off a furious debate in the U.S. over privacy versus security that is still ongoing.
The Pulitzer Prize is American journalism's highest honor.
Michael Jackson's mom to pay promoter $800,000 in court cost
Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, has reportedly agreed to pay over 800-thousand dollars to tour promoter AEG Live for costs incurred to defend a failed lawsuit that she originally filed.
The Jacksons sued AEG Live in 2010 because the company had hired Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the pop icon's death in 2009.
A jury rejected their case after a six-month trial last year.
AEG Live's legal team initially asked for 1.2-million dollars from the Jacksons, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos ordered them to resubmit their claim, with 400-thousand dollars in expenses removed.
The ruling is expected to be finalized after AEG Live submits an amended list of its costs.
Attorneys for the company and Katherine Jackson agreed not to argue Palazuelos' tentative ruling, but Jackson could still file for appeal.
