A
Nirvana in Fire (Langya Bang)
If you still haven’t watched Nirvana in Fire (Langya Bang) or don’t know who Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan are, you might be falling behind the times in China. The period drama, about a man’s long and difficult search for revenge（复仇） and the struggle to clear his family name, has become one of the hottest topics of discussion for TV fans. The original novel is created by Hai Yan, who is also the script- writer for the show.
The Little Prince
One of the most translated novellas globally, has reportedly found its way into 253 languages and dialects, selling as many as 200 million copies, but has rarely been made into a film. Now, around seven decades after the birth of the 1943 French classic, an American director has found a way to recreate the fantasy world of the title role and his friends on the big screen, making a big hit in China. The $77.5- million movie of the same title, one of the most expensive French films of all time, opened in Chinese mainland theaters on Oct. 16.
Go Away Mr. Tumor
The list of 81 movies, which are accepted for this year’s best foreign language films, was announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Oct. 8. The surprising choice of Go Away Mr. Tumor instead of Wolf Totem as China’s official entry for this year’s Oscars has shocked local film- makers, who say the Academy’s rules “aren’t clear”, Xu Fan reports. Young Chinese director Han Yan was stunned to learn that his romantic comedy Go Away Mr Tumor is China’s official submission for the Oscars. It was also a surprise for industry observers that China’s longtime favorite, Wolf Totem, was not chosen, as its core creative team had too many non-Chinese members.
