C-version of Miss Granny Releases Movie Stills Hot on the Heels of Luhan Leaving EXO

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.

    • 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

  • 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.
