A different color of funny

Ning Hao's new 'pink comedy' departs from the black humor that has defined his career. Wang Kaihao places the film in the debate surrounding low-budget comedies' success.

Ning Hao shows a new hue with his latest film Breakup Buddies.

The 37-year-old director, who's nicknamed "China's Guy Ritchie" for his black comedies, such as last year's No Man's Land, shows a different shade of his artistic palette with what he calls his first "pink comedy".
