A press conference is scheduled in Huangshi on the afternoon of March 31st. Director Roger Spottiswoode, actor Chow Yun-Fat and actress Radha Mitchell will meet with audiences at the evening premiere ceremony/concert on the 31st, according to the Huangshi news. In a recent "Sina" interview Roger Spottiswoode said he spent eight years to make this film. First they spent three to four years to write and polish the script, then another two years looking for funding, then two more years looking for good actors. He also said Michelle and Chow Yun-Fat are the two actors that were fixed from the beginning of the project. Asked how he combines East and West in this film, Spottiswoode said that only Chinese audiences can answer this question. He said when they had test screenings in the U.S., the audience did not think this film is suitable for Americans.
