'The Grandmaster' has masterful B.O. debut

Chinesefilms.cn, January 16, 2013

Wong Kar-wai's The Grandmasters secured162 million yuan (US$26.1 million) on Chinese mainland in its first six days in cinemas last week, a record for the Hong Kong-based director.

The film's budget is believed to have risen to 240 million yuan (US$38.6 million) over its long production period, with Wong finishing the film just 72 hours before its release. Its first press screening was held two days before it opened in China.

The film, starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, also got off to a strong start in Hong Kong, Wong's home base and the adopted home of Leung's co-star Zhang Ziyi.

Playing in four different versions – in a mix of different Chinese dialects, with and without English subtitles – it notched up US$168,000 (HK$1.3 million) on its opening day for distributor and co-investor Sil-Metropole Organisation Ltd.

By Sunday night, its box office climbed to HK$8.06 million (US$1.04 million), an impressive start for a Chinese-language film of any dialect in Hong Kong.

The film opens in Taiwan on 18 Jan through Warner Bros. (Taiwan) Inc. Shaw Organisation Pte Ltd opens the film in Singapore on 31 Jan.

In China, Grandmaster scored more than double the box office of closest competitor, Jackie Chan's "CZ12," on 80.7 million yuan (US$13.0 million). The action-comedy has now grossed 801 million yuan (US$129 million).

"CZ12" is the second most successful Chinese-language release of all time in China. Still on release, current record-holder, Xu Zheng's road movie comedy "Lost in Thailand," is now on 1.2 billion yuan (US$194 million).

I guess wkw will release the unedited version of TGM in years to come,that's what he said in the interview.Well,being able to catch the movie is good enough for now i guess 
*may contain spoilers*
He was asked regarding the difference between Hye Kyo and ZZY character and he said" I told Hye Kyo that her character is not just an ordinary elegant and graceful lady but one with great wisdom.Her first screen appearance is when she's standing behind the door.For the audience and especially from man's point of view, woman is man's "pet" but in this movie it's the other way round.She treats her man as her "pet".She's the reason why Ip man never remarries".

That Winter Preview: Song Hye Kyo Will Appear As a Visually-impared Heiress

Posted on January 17, 2013 in drama by nettop01

Song Hye-kyo will appear as a visually-impaired heiress of a chaebol family in the upcoming drama ‘That Winter’.

Appearing as the sole heiress to a powerful corporation Oh Yeong, she seems to have everything that she desires, being intelligent, beautiful, and fabulously rich, but is inwardly lonely and difficult. Yeong, who tries to live her life outside the influence of the heiress label, strictly controls herself, even her visual impairment.

Suffering from tunnel vision, her vision only allows her a small window in the middle, without any peripheral vision at all. Yeong nevertheless hides her impairment from the others, and furthermore closes her own attachments towards others out of her distrust towards others, even taking to heart the consolation that she would leave the world without any feelings in her final moments.

However, her long-lost brother Oh Soo (Jo In-sung) appears in front of her after 16 years of separation, and while Yeong vows not to open her heart to her brother, who she believes to have left her alone and went off, but his warmth slowly opens her cold heart.

Song Hye-kyo reportedly underwent extensive discussion with the writer Noh Hee-kyung to help her portray the complex character of Yeong. Noh Hee-kyung, however, asked her to “not stay within the prejudice of the visually-impaired, but break the prejudice”, inciting Song Hye-kyo to visit the visually-impaired facility.

The caretaker in the facility, living together with the visually-impaired, also commented “the visually impaired aren’t different at all because they too wish to be beautiful and try to be beautiful. It’s not out of place for them to be wearing mini-skirts and high heels. They all dress for the occasion and put up make-ups”, wishing that the drama would help reduce the prejudice against them.

Thanks everyone for news. I guess they are trying to tell us not prejudice visually impaired...thanks for wake me up, even me did have that thought  . It seems they were aware of this issue "high heels and blind" and did it on purpose to convey the message.

[songhyegyonet]

Woo hoo, the promos for That Winter are starting!!! Thanks PutriN sis for the article - I don't think there's a need for another translation because the one freshspring posted is perfect! I very much enjoyed reading that translation, so thank you for posting
Yes, you are right - it definitely gives us a wonderful insight on why she is wearing high heels or has perfect makeup on, etc. Elle interview also touched on this as well 
A little late, but welcome back Kim sis! Hope you enjoyed your time away

^thanks kim..lovely coincidence,i was just doing a WW marathon today and here u are,sharing unseen pics with us

btw this is a post from netizen buzz regarding the recent article about our girl..need not be fazed by the title,its more of a discussion regarding her character, by the netizens and also by the author of the blog...Here's what the netizens have to say-----

Song Hye Gyo's portrayal of her blind character in high heels causes a controversy on blind stereotypes

Article: Still cuts of Song Hye Gyo playing a blind woman revealed... epitome of innocent beauty

Source: Newsen via Nate

It's not reflected in the best reply but there were a lot of comments about how the high heels are distracting and how she's "too dressed up" for someone who's blind... "How can a blind person wear high heels" and "Her outfit isn't realistic".

1. [+518, -46] She matched Hyun Bin so well ㅜㅜ So upset that they broke up! I'm sure anyone that watched 'The World They Live In' would agree!

2. [+314, -16] Wow pretty

3. [+290, -32] For everyone criticizing about the high heels, read the article for once. It says that the blind are able to live a normal lifestyle.

Article: What can we learn of the misunderstandings and the truths about the blind as seen through Song Hye Gyo's high heels controversy?

Source: TV Daily via Nate

The article sheds some light on how the blind live and explain that, although it depends on certain situations, the blind are just as interested in fashion and hairstyles and the like. Those that lost their sight at a later time in their life still tend to wear high heels because they're used to the feeling of them.

1. [+235, -10] If we're going to argue about dramas being realistic, then what about the women wearing eyeliner in historical dramas?

2. [+182, -8] Thinking that a blind person doesn't care about fashion just because they're blind is a misinformed stereotype. I saw a documentary about two disabled women going on a vacation and they dressed nicely with better make up than me...

3. [+191, -40] We're not criticizing the high heels because we don't think the blind don't have a right to be fashionable, we just think it's dangerous so we're worried.

4. [+24, -5] The heels weren't even that high;;; Is there some kind of separate dress code that the blind need to adhere to?? ㅋㅋ

5. [+22, -4] The reason people are so used to seeing the blind dress poorly is because of economic reasons. They have a difficult time finding jobs so of course they will prioritize other aspects of their life over fashion. Song Hye Gyo's character is an heiress of a conglomerate. She's extremely rich so she obviously has her own stylist, etc...

lightningstix January 17, 2013

Still cuts were revealed of Song Hye Kyo’s comeback drama “That Winter, The Wind Blows.” She plays a character that has trouble seeing and is the daughter of a corporate mogul. Her character’s name is Oh Young. Although she is wealthy and beautiful, she is actually lonely, cold, and has a hard time living. Even though she can’t see well, she acts as if she can see everything.

Jo In Sung’s character Oh Soo enters into her life after 16 years. He had abandoned her. At first she doesn’t open up to him, but she slowly stars to change.

Will this drama be another chip off the old block of Korean dramas featuring the wealthy, or will it strike out on its own. Get ready for the first broadcast on February 13!
