A Chinese producer's perspective

A while back on my blog I posted a review of a Chinese film called My Lucky Star, which stars (and was produced by) Zhang Ziyi and which I described as "romantic comedy meets James Bond". One of the things that fascinated me about what turned out to be a fairly humdrum movie was that it was directed by an American television director named Dennie Gordon but was aimed primarily at a Chinese audience. There were a number of other things I found interesting about it as a production.

Well, lo and behold, one of the producers of the film (who I take from comparing the email address to the IMDB credits to be Ming Beaver Kwei, and who I now see is the son of the Shaw Brothers director Chih Hung Kwei) has shown up to give his perspective on the production. For anybody who is interested in film production and what's happening in the mainland Chinese film industry right now, I recommend taking a look. It's fascinating stuff, and he takes a relatively deep dive for a blog comment.
