A splashy 3-D mix of martial arts and romance aims to draw a record audience at theaters this weekend, Wang Kaihao reports.
To celebrate this Saturday's Qixi Festival, known as Chinese Valentine's Day, big screens in China will offer a gift for audiences: a touching romance epic.
A 3-D remake of wuxia (martial arts and chivalry) fantasy The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom will be released on July 31 - the most expensive film in this summer's Chinese market with a budget of about 100 million yuan ($16.2 million). It features two of the most popular Chinese movie stars, actor Huang Xiaoming and actress Fan Bingbing.
