The booming ear of Chinese movie |

| Many box offices of our Chinese movies are outperforming than imported ones. This booming growth of China’s film market is luring overseas directors to not only market their films here, but to develop original products for the local audience. Gordon became the first American female to direct a Chinese feature by taking the helm of “My Lucky Star,” a prequel to the 2009 rom-com hit “Sophie’s Revenge,” by Chinese director Eva Jin. With an eye to making the film work entirely as a domestic film for domestic audiences wearing screen printing T-shirts, she also invited Chinese composer Nathan Wang to develop the music she wanted for the film. Ms. Gordon said she first had the idea to develop a Chinese-language film when Ms. Zhang, who knew her from previous work—including the movie “What a Girl Wants,” featuring Colin Firth—approached her about developing a comedy Ms. Zhang could star in. Ms. Gordon, along with a Chinese producer and a Chinese-American writer with screen printing T-shirts in Los Angeles, developed a 45-page outline for the film, which they brought to Beijing to localize and “get it culturally correct and current.” In face of China’s serious action movies that involve “highly evolved and unbreakable rules,” and “the Hong Kong, Jackie Chan-style of broad comedy action,” Ms. Gordon says she aimed to bring a screen printing T-shirts style to the local audience. We wanted to create a new hybrid blend of genres that had not been attempted before in China: action, comedy, animation and romance all mixed together,” she said. In Hollywood it may feel like a throwback, but here in China it has been considered groundbreaking.”With her first Chinese-language film on the books, another still, to be shot in Nepal, Korea and Miami, will be an action-adventure film starring a major Chinese male actor, though Ms. Gordon declined to be more specific. |
