After receiving accolades in many festivals for his film "I'm Not Madame Bovary," director Feng Xiaogang will take the helm of a new project "Fang Hua" with a budget of more than 120 million yuan. It tells the life and love story of young people in a military art troupe during the 1970s - 1980s, as the era goes through drastic changes. The story will be written by famous writer and film script writer Yan Geling, who previously penned Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War" and Chen Kaige's "Forever Enthralled." Feng Xiaogang also claimed he would only cast actresses for the film who have never had plastic surgery to maintain a real, natural and sincere feel.
The film will debut in China on Oct. 1, 2017.
