president Yu Dong said before the screening that the movie has been “meticulously crafted into a masterpiece that can be included in the annals of Chinese film history,” thanks to five years of script development, 200 days of shoots and the involvement of as many as 7,000 crew members and 70,000 extras.

Chen Kaige of famed farewell my concubine is directing this movie . He is so emotional about the sacrifice that people make in Korea war and said this

“This battle victory is of great significance: Our China, with its poor and weak national power, had to face down the world’s most powerful military, but as Chairman Mao said, ‘the Chinese people are now organized and are not to be trifled with,’” he said, citing a line from Mao Zedong frequently quoted by President Xi Jinping when discussing the Korean War’s ongoing 70th anniversary.

He continued: “In this war, we paid many sacrifices, but eventually earned victory and respect…The film shows us how without this strength of spirit, there would have been no way to take on such an enemy.”

Dante Lam said that he came to have a deep respect for the troops during the production process and hope that “everyone can remember their sacrifices” while watching the final product.

Director Tsui Hark also quoted Mao. After extensively researching the history of the Korean War, he found himself most moved by one of the controversial leader’s eight-character phrases: “strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches.”

He explained: “The quote really touched me. I decided then that my task would be to depict the truth of this quote for everyone to grasp. It seemed like the core of the entire film — that spirit of I don’t want to fight, but still, I must fight.”

“Chinese studio moved to Japan” are westerners wet dream. Unfortunately, many of them prefer bringing political subject into a game, especially aimed at Chinese game developers. They have a ironic mentality that basically “hate Chinese developers but like Chinese game”

To them: A Chinese company expanding operations worldwide due to increase in revenue = Chinese company escaping the evil CCP!! Honestly it is so insulting and racist to say all the Chinese devs' hard work and passion would've been better if they were Japanese. As if the Japanese could replicate the same thing after all the stale releases in that game segment.

Whenever there's a controversy in these games, instead of blaming the incompetent and predatory company, these white knights resort to blaming China and her people(if they can get away w/o looking racist) lmao.

Any thoughts on this video? This person is claiming that actor Zhang Zhehan is an actual victim against the mob mentality of the Chinese public. Essentially suggesting that the actor has become a casualty from an innocent mistake...

A great dance number. The sound track is even better, with traditional music instruments blending into heavy EDM. The sound track is as modern as it gets.
