Summer in Beijing, the poster

February 15th, 2009 by admin

Reading the news that Cahiers du Cinéma has been bought by Phaidon Press, I realised that although I don’t speak Frence, I do have a copy of this magazine. It must be sometime in 1999, I was told by a friend I knew through Sina’s movie forum that Cahiers du Cinéma had published a special issue about Hong Kong movies. He lived in Paris and kindly decided to sent me a copy of this issue, although we had never met. We did meet when I visited Paris the first time.

Of course I didn’t understand a word of what written in that issue, but one picture struke me. That was a poster of Wong Kar Wai’s planned film Summer in Bejing, a dark glassed, short-trousered Tony Leung Chiu-Wai standing in front of the Museum of Chinese Revolution, looking into a binoculars. The project was laterly dropped and that poster seems to exist just to remind us what could be.

    Hi everyone,
    I’m a postgranduate student of warwick uni,uk. Now I’m working on my dissertation about film production analysis. Bascially, my direction is about the difference of movie production and management style in Hollywood and China. Unfortunately, I can’t find any helpful literture review for Chinese movie production. (Mainly studies are focused on culture perspectives.) I’m wondering if anyone here can give me some suggestion or information.

    Many thx!

    Please feel free to contact me via:fang.y@warwick.ac.uk
