CRI highlight

At 23:30, In the Spotlight will focus on China's New Year film season. Since the 1990s, winter has been a prime season for films of all genres to hit the big screen in China. From 2002, when the Chinese film industry entered its blockbuster era, the race to register bigger sales at the box office is tremendous. The New Year film season this time is packed with more than 50 films. Watch out for the chart-toppers.

World-renowned filmmaker Zhang Yimou's Red Film Trilogy is known for a deep humanist angle and profound social significance. His film Hero was the first blockbuster in Chinese film history. Now that his first comedic thriller, A Simple Noodle Story, has hit the big screen, he talks to CRI about why he thinks detective and horror films are also worth a shot.
