At the end of the day show business is still a commodity and the show must go on. That makes the producers of the Chinese version of the hit K-movie Miss Granny pretty darn savvy to start releasing movie stills the very week that one of it’s stars generates massive headlines. The C-version is also called Miss Granny with the Chinese title translated literally as Return to 20’s and is based on the same script as the K-version (both movies are produced by CJ E&M) but infused with Chinese cultural and familial beats.
Starring C-actress Yang Zhi San as the younger leading lady with acclaimed TW-actress Gui Ya Lei as the older version, the cast also includes Bolin Chen and Luhan, the aforementioned cast member who whipped K-pop into a tizzy last week with the announcement that he wanted out of his contract with SM Entertainment and was leaving EXO. He’s insanely popular in China so it was a savvy move casting him in an age-appropriate supporting role that doesn’t require much acting since he plays an aspiring rocker.
I’m watching the movie when it comes out next March for Bolin and because I found the original story very charming and sweet. The first batch of official and BTS stills from the movie actually don’t look half bad at all.
Yup he already confirmed he’d be at the press conference too
Kris’ new movie looks like it will be quite good…his supporting role is a young gangster street racer in Beijing opposite Feng Xiaogang and Li Yifeng
Her name’s Yang Zi Shan, not Yang Zi San.
That photo Bolin and Luhan look like brothers haha! Am going to watch for Bolin too!
Wait.. How did Kris&Luhan get cast SOO FAST in projects in China?But correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t they said SM Ent denies EXO-M work outside the group and only EXO-K get all kinds of wrk and endorsements? They want out of SM Ent contracts and BOOM they have movies/dramas or whatever line up? It’s staring to sound a little shady from both sides In My Opinion.
