"Beijing, New York" releases pilot trailer
With the conclusion of the Shanghai Film Festival coming up, love drama "Beijing, New York" has held a news conference and released a pilot trailer.
The film was written and directed by freshman director Li Xiaoyu, and starred Liu Ye, Lin Zhiling, Jiang Shuying and Richard DeClark.
The film follows the story of a love triangle.
Mo Li, played by Lin Zhiling, went to America to pursue her dreams.
Stuck by reality, she got involved in a relationship between two men, one married and rich, the other a poor artist.
Mo Li is faced with a tough choice between the two men.
The director says the movie poses a question to the audience: "What is the thing we really want in our lives?"
"Transformers 4" screening will screen as scheduled: Paramount
Paramount Pictures has said "Transformers: Age of Extinction" will open in Chinese theatres as scheduled.
A Beijing property developer has terminated a cooperation agreement with the new "Transformers" franchise.
Beijing Pangu Investment is also calling on the Chinese government's film regulator to not screen the movie.
The company claims Paramount's Chinese partners never delivered on pledges to hold the movie premiere at Pangu's hotel, despite an outlay of some 10-million yuan.
Paramount's vice chairman Rob Moore said in a news conference that the company is working with the company and hopefully the problem will get resolved very soon.
And director Michael Bay added that he and the CEO of Pangu Investment are good friends and they call each other "brother".
Bay said he has done all he was asked to present the profile of a building that resembles like a dragon head.
The height of the building made filming very difficult.
The film is scheduled to screen in China this Friday.
