Forever Young


Director: He Jiong


Rising from variety show Happy Camp, He Jiong, the show's host, is one of China's most popular icons today. Having appeared in quite a few roles in stage dramas and films he has proved himself to be a talented actor. With his name attached to the film, Forever Young, his directorial debut Nike Air Max 270 Mens Sale , was highly anticipated, especially since the film featured popular actor Li Yifeng. Making Forever Young a success should not have been a difficult task, since it was a simple romance story in a genre many green directors begin with. Yet, it still managed to fail. Relying on old clichés like lead character's best friends die in a car accident and lacking a believable plot, the story ended up falling flat. For some reason the director also though not having a climax would be a good move, while the lead actors and actresses seemed to have everything they needed for the role Nike Air Max 270 Light Bone Sale , except decent acting skills.

You Are My Sunshine


Director: Huang Bin and Yang Wenjun


Adapted from a popular novel, You Are My Sunshine is another romance film featuring popular stars. While a TV series based on the same story aired earlier that year, it received only a lukewarm reception from audiences, leaving fans of the original novel pinning their hopes on the film version. Unfortunately, the film was even worse than the show.


"You Are My Sunshine completely breaks from the structure of a film. It has a random jumpy plot, and a setting that make no sense. The directors and scriptwriters seem to assume that every one in the audience has already memorized the novel Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Sale ," commented netizen Mengli Shishu on Douban.


"A fan of the book, I couldn't stop myself from watching the film even after seeing so many complaints. It was disappointing. They didn't rework the story at all. As such, simply copying the content from the book resulting in a chaotic timeline," another netizen, Dingdufeng Shang Dingduge, posted on Douban.

Hollywood Adventures


Director: Timothy Kendall


Not only did Chinese studios produce some stinkers Nike Air Max 270 Sale , foreign filmmakers had a few of their own.


Hollywood Adventure, a film worked on by a mixed group of filmmakers from China and abroad and starring a dozen big-name stars such as Zhao Wei, Sung Kang, Kat Dennings and Simon Helberg. However, the film turned out to be nothing but a collection of famous faces and little else.


Posters advertising the film featured three exaggerated funny faces leading many to wonder whether the film was going to be the Chinese version of Bollywood film 3 Idiots. Yet, it seems the director had bigger ambitions Air Max 270 Womens Light Bone Sale , because he also grabbed elements from a few other films such as Lost in Thailand, Breakup Buddies and Fast & Furious. However, Hollywood Adventure proved to be the perfect example that mashing a bunch of popular stars and scenes from classic films does not always make a better film. In the end, you just get something that is neither fish nor fowl. As netizen Fangfei Xiaozhu's review on Mtime put it: "It has a five-star hotel cast, but motel quality."

Lady of the Dynasty


Director: Shi Qing and Tian Zhuangzhuang


A historically-based film, Lady of the Dynasty tells the story of the famous beauty of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) - Yang Guifei Air Max 270 Mens Light Bone Sale , or the Imperial Consort Yang. According to some early media reports, the film took six years to produce. All posters and trailers seemed to set this film up as a major blockbuster.


However, while the film does have a number of grand scenes full of experimental visuals, the two-hour story has no idea what its focus should be. Add to that the fact that lead actress Fan Bingbing ended up portraying a lifeless version of Yang. Fan is known for her period history work as she has played a number of influential historical figures on TV, to include Yang and Wu Zetian, the first and only female emperor in Chinese history. However Air Max 270 Womens Flyknit Sale , in Fan's hands each of these figures ends up feeling the same.

Director: Tony Chan


Some readers may have noticed that the film has the same title as the 2009 US rom-com. Yes, this is a Chinese adaptation of the Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway film.
