regaining her family's honor. After the Second Sino-Japanese War, Ip Man moves to

Hong Kong and struggles to provide for his family. In the mean time, Gong Er chooses

the path of vengeance after her father was killed by Ma San.

Director’s Statement

"The Grandmaster" is a true representation of Chinese Kungfu films, actually, Kungfu is

an art. There is more than 120 kinds of Kungfu in China, everyone has different

techniques and skills, but it is a means.The final purpose is lying down or standing, only

standing is right.

Actually, the story reveals a lot of people are likely to be a master, but because of

changing time or his choice, ultimately the fate is different. Such as Gong, she finally

chose to stay in her own world.

I has prepared this movie for a decade, because I enjoy the process of adhering to high

quality, but my life is limited, otherwise I will always prepare it. I am looking forward to

showing the beauty of Chinese Kungfu and Chinese people to audiences.

Director: FU Dong-yu

Cast: Lawang Luobu, Awang Renqing, YANG Xue, Suolang Zhuoga, Duobujie

Genre: Drama Ethnic

Duration: 118min

Language: Others

Synopsis

The age background of this story is from the liberation of Tibet in 1950s to the 1980s. It

takes place in Lhasa Tibet, telling the fate between Tenzin, childe of the manor, and

Phurbu, serf of Tenzin.

Tenzin and Phurbu live and grow in the same manor. Good friends as they are, with a

huge gap between their identities and families, however, these two good friends become

enemies as time changes. Because of a guilt Tenzin commits, Phurbu, his serf, almost

loses his life.

In the end, as a substitute of Tenzin, Phurbu starts his life as a lama in the temple in the

name of Tenzin. All chant he makes, and all blessings he prays, shall own by Tenzin.

Then come the liberation army, and they are greeted with great welcome by the serfs .

People's souls start to change. The serfs gain their dignity and equality.

Director’s Statement

Through this story we want to express that the liberation of Tibet is the liberation of all

people instead of a few. If the liberation of the serfs is at the material level and the basic

human rights, then to all those who will to accept the new age, the biggest liberation is

that of inner souls, no matter what their identities are.

From this point, the liberation of Tibet is that of all people, liberation from laggard and

decayed consciousness.

During the process of making this film, all the writers, directors and producers wish there

shall be some deepening and breakthrough among films at the same theme. To realize

that, instead of using the simple dichotomous method, we respect the complexity of the

history of Tibet, and with a sufficient knowledge of Tibet history, we try to present such

complexity by the fate of people in the film.

Anyway, we hope a breakthrough can be achieved in this native main stream film on

presenting the richness of history and the complexity of social development, and by doing

that the film can be more convincing under the sight of global world so as to gain a

powerful say on the issue of Tibet around the world.

Year: 2014

Director: NING Ying

Cast: WANG Jing-chun, CHEN Wei-han, SUN Liang

Genre: Crime Biographical

Duration: 115min

Language: Others

Released Date: 21 Mar 2014

Synopsis

Ordos municipality, Inner Mongolia, northern China, the present day. A local hero, HAO

Wan-zhong (WANG Jing-chun), police chief of Jungar administrative district, died

suddenly on 14 May 2011, aged 41, leaving behind his wife and young son. HUA Wei

(SUN Liang), the top investigative reporter, is persuaded by his editor-in-chief to write a

story about him, even though HUA Wei, from past experience, is suspicious of such

"heroes". He makes a series of interview and investigation,and turns over all of Wan-

zhong's personal diaries, 68 volumes detailing 14 years of being a detective. Gradually a

portrait of the man emerges.

Director’s Statement

In this film I used the "Hollywood way" of thriller and action films to shoot scenes of

murder and investigation, "documentary" to labor dispute, "Kar Wai WONG's romance" to

dignified scenes, "Antonioni's style" to the love and family life between HAO Wan-zhong

and his wife. On the other hand, structure and time are intertwined in this film. There is a

scene intersected with five shots that happen in different times. The structure is irregular,

yet the emotions are kept tight and coherent.

I am aware of doing that way could be a big risk, and may screw up in the end. But only

the abundance of film languages can present the current reality of China within which a

Chinese man is confronted, as well as the complicated character of a man who you

respect and love, although who is imperfect and you may feel pity for.

Synopsis

This film is adapted from the ancient Chinese fantasy novel Journey to the West. The

Buffalo Demon King leading the demon clan and the Jade Emperor leading the god clan

waged a war. The Buffalo Demon King was defeated finally but the Heaven was also

destroyed.

Nuwa (Goddess of Works) smelt spars to mend the Heaven. A small stones fell down on

the earth and became a monkey. The monkey got Patriarch Subodhi's teaching and was

given a name of Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong came to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits

and made himself the Monkey King.

King to havoc in heaven by using the Monkey King's relationship with his childhood

sweetheart, and colluded with the Erlang to destruct the south gate of the Heaven, the

Monkey King's havoc was in sight, but Heaven was in danger.

Director’s Statement

When I was reading the famous book "Journey to the West", I was thinking what was the

point impressed me most? In fact, everyone saw different point in the "Journey to the

West". But the point impressed me was the reason why Monkey King, a hero with so

much ability, is willingly to achieve their goal step by step. I saw the true growth Monkey

King.

From my view, the remake of the classic is not to figure out the author's thinking. I will

never know the blueprint of the author Mr. WU Cheng-en . We should show how we treat

the classic "Journey to the West ". We do not want to be far away with the audience.

The film is actually presenting my ideal world. I'm not WU Cheng-en, I am certainly not as

good as his imagination, but I am trying to pass on this classic.
