Sun takes a pop at Feng and Lu pops the question (again)

Mainland actor Sun Haiying has so immersed himself in his role as rebel Peer Gynt that he has been firing off tirades at art house icons and even announced the death of Chinese theater and cinema.

Sun, who is appearing in Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt on Tuesday at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, held a press conference at the venue on Wednesday.

"China's theater has died! So has cinema!" Sun informed shocked journalists, before taking aim at popular director Feng Xiaogang.
