Gambling with an Asian plot

A Hollywood comedy, which has broken barriers, is set for its mainland debut, Xu Fan reports.

For most critics in the West, the romance comedy Crazy Rich Asians is a watershed hit that could change the way Asian faces are perceived in Hollywood.

The movie - a modern Cinderella story - is the first major Hollywood studio film with an all-Asian cast in 25 years since The Joy Luck Club in 1993, and is set to open across the Chinese mainland theaters.
