The China Film Company has announced a slew of new films for the Chinese cinema in 2016.
At a press conference held in Beijing on Tuesday, the company unveiled a partial list of 33 films that will be either screened or go into production in China next year.
Big budget film "My War" tops the films to be shown in China next year. 2016 marks the 65th anniversary of the Korean War, and the movie tells the story of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and their sacrifices on the Korean Peninsula. The film stars Chinese actors Liu Ye and Wang Lu Dan.
Another historical epic "Xuan Zang" will also meet Chinese movie goers next year.
The China-India co production was announced during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to China earlier this year. It tells the story of Monk Xuan Zang, who was accredited with bringing Buddhist teachings from India to China during the Tang Dynasty. Xuan Zang stars Chinese film star Huang Xiaoming. Internationally known Hong Kong director Wang Kai Wai served as the film's Artistic Adviser.
