TV director changes track

Chinese director Zhang Jizhong (pictured), best known for his martial arts TV dramas, is changing track with a youth-themed series, Diary of an Air Hostess.

"I love martial arts, but I'm also interested in exploring new fields," says Zhang. "The plot is unique and inspirational. Instead of focusing on romance, it talks of the successes and challenges faced by a group of wait staff."
