介绍:
Special trailer of Han Han's movie released
Author/director Han Han has held a news conference in Shanghai to promote his first film "Hou Hui Wu Qi", or "Continent".
Leading actors Feng Shaofeng, Wallace Chung, Wang Luodan and Joe Chen showed up, revealing their roles in the film.
During the conference, a special trailer was released.
The trailer was tagged "The Island Song Version".
The island refers to Dongji Island, where the movie was shot.
Han Han says the melody was chosen from Hollywood movie "Borat", and he filled the words himself.
When asked about the theme of the film, Han says several youngsters who were born and raised on Dongji Island, wanted to explore the outside world, and they began a journey that changed their whole lives.
"Continent" will hit Chinese screens July 24.
Eason Chan promotes latest album in Taiwan
Pop singer Eason Chan is in Taiwan to promote his latest Mandarin-language album, "Rice and Shine".
The album includes 10 tracks.
During a press conference for the album, Chan says that he picked its title to represent the producers, but somehow, it turned into a play on words.
"I told the producers 'Mars Radio' in Beijing, 'Why don't you be in charge of the 'Rise' part. Because they're not so well-known.' And JJ (Lin) is like a shining star; they were into it. They said, 'Rice, great! Chinese people rely heavily on rice.' I think they were joking, but then I thought it made sense. So then it became 'Rice and Shine'"
Although many record labels release music solely on digital platforms to cut back costs, Chan says he remains old school.
"Everyone says the music industry is not doing so well; why spend so much energy to make (the CD), but this is why (a CD) is so precious; because, in the digital world, there's no album per se. So that's why we wanted to make (a CD) and now I have two parts and two names."
39-year-old Chan began his music career in 1995.
He has now become one of the most recognized pop stars in Chinese music.
In April 2012, Chan became the first Chinese artist to hold a concert in London's O2 Arena.
"Rice and Shine" is Chan's 12th album.
Paul Haggis on new film
Just a day before the release of "Third Person", director Paul Haggis has given some thoughts on his new film.
The film consists of three interconnected love stories.
Academy Award winner Haggis wrote and directed the indie film.
He says it's a puzzle pretending to be love stories.
"I wanted three different styles of storytelling in this, but for a reason and I wanted it to be purposely in the cities where these characters could never meet. You've got New York, Paris and Rome and so as things start happening that cannot happen you have to ask yourself, 'OK, so what's happening?'"
The film stars A-list actors such as Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, and Mila Kunis, as well as Israeli actress Moran Atias.
Atias says along with the multiple storylines, there are many meanings for things in the movie, including the title.
"Third Person' does represent the form of writing - third person - as Liam's character and there's always a third person in the relationship metaphorically speaking whether he's present or an object, whether it's your past demons, the art."
Atias plays a gypsy living in Italy.
The actress was so eager to play the part that she moved herself to an office where gypsies live in Italy even before she was confirmed for the role.
"Third Person" opens tomorrow in New York, Los Angeles and Japan.
Judge dismisses copyright case against Lady Gaga
A federal judge in Chicago has dismissed a copyright lawsuit against Lady Gaga.
Chicago songwriter Rebecca Francescatti filed the suit in 2011, alleging that Lady Gaga had copied music and the title lyric from her 1998 song "Juda."
Gaga's 2011 song is called "Judas".
The judge ruled that the songs do not have common lyrics, have different themes, and sound nothing alike musically.
The judge also concluded there was not enough evidence that Gaga could have known about Francescatti's song before publishing "Judas".
Katy Perry launches record label
American pop star Katy Perry has launched her own record label, "Metamorphosis Music".
It's a joint venture with her current label, Capitol Records.
Perry has signed pop singer Ferras as her label's first artist.
Ferras released his first Perry executive-produced EP the day of the announcement.
He will also join Perry for the North American leg of her Prismatic World Tour, which kicks off on Sunday.
Perry and Ferras met in 2007 when they were both signed to Capitol Music.
