China's Bourne is coming

The popular online novel Age of Legends is set to be developed as a franchise, Xu Fan reports.

Once an electrician in East China's Jiangsu province, Liu Ye never imagined he would become an internet sensation or see his name on the big screen.

But now thanks to China's thirsty for quality intellectual property - in this case, content with a large fan base - the online writer will see his novel, Age of Legends, developed into a franchise.
