Home Sweet Home 秘密访客 comes from Leste Chen and Qiao Shu, the director-writer pair behind last year’s cult hit A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower. Duan Yihong plays the driver responsible for a school bus crash that killed all students on board except one (Rong Zishan). Knowing full well his son may have been involved, the father (Aaron Kwok) invites the driver to live in their basement for three years. Tiffany Hsu costars as the mother, and Zhang Zifeng plays the daughter.

The movie is now playing in mainland cinemas.

Henry Lau’s cover of Love of a Maiden has been chosen as the ending theme song, though all other arrangements pale in comparison to Jane Zhang and Li Ronghao’s theme song (MV).

This picture of Gong Li made me do a double-take…

The Monkey King 2 has released more stills prior to its release on February 8th.  Starring Aaron Kwok, Gong Li, Feng Shaofeng, Xiaoshenyang, and Him Law, I have to admit that I am pleasantly intrigued so far, especially with the costume for Baigujing.

Making exciting-looking posters has become stuffing as many copies of the Monkey King as we can on it while also preferably using a battle scene as a background.

Much delayed and highly anticipated film The Monkey King in 3D starring Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, Joe Chen, Peter Ho, Zhang Zilin, among others has released production goodies, hopefully signifying that this newest release date will actually be the real one.  The Monkey King is yet another spinoff of Journey to the West without the actual journey, this time focusing on the Monkey King wrecking havoc in the heavens.

Trailer below, second trailer here, behind-the-scenes here, and character posters below the cut.

Up-and-coming singer Wang Ximan features in a very peaceful and pretty photoshoot in the feature photo for this post; unfortunately, the rest of the shoot does not give much variety. Actress. Gwei Lun-mei (Gui Lunmei) also shows up in this set, looking calm for ELLE, whereas Zhang Ziyi poses with a guy who really needs to reconsider his hairstyle (in a photo shoot for Vogue). Meanwhile, Tong Liya welcomes spring in gauzy dresses and Guo Fucheng shows off his equine friends; Qin Lan makes an appearance in black and white, and the set ends with a sample from Zhao Wei’s photoshoot for CG (most of which was meant to show how sexy she can be).  Continue reading →

Celebrity microblogger, Liang Huan, ranks Chinese singers

Almost 20 years since her passing, is Teresa Teng still the best Chinese singer?

Last week, Liang Huan 梁欢, who is probably a man, compiled a list of Chinese singers on her his Weibo, allocating points in increments of five, alongside some brutally honest criticism (e.g., Jolin Tsai: “dance moves accompanied by bad vocals”). Since then, her his post has been retweeted—or the Weibo equivalent—tens of thousands of times. Some fans, notably those of Han Geng, have derided the low scores of their idols.
