The Emperor Motion Picture distribution FOUNDING OF A PARTY will be released nationwide in mid June and late June in Hong Kong. Yesterday a trailer and official site launch press conference was held in Beijing. Director Huang Jianxin, Feng Yuanzheng who played Chen Duxiu, Li Chen who played Zhang Guotao and Li Qin who played Yang Yang Kaihui attended.

In the poster, the Liu Ye played Mao Zedong and Chen Kun played Zhou Enlai, and the Chow Yun Fat played Yuan Shikai and Andy Lau Tak Wa played Cai E held their own as two generations of handsome idols became the center of attention.

Huang Jianxin at the press conference also first talked about editing. "Currently the film aside from special effects that needed adjustment basically is already unlikely to change, the entire film's current length is over 2 hours." FOUNDING OF A PARTY's 178 actors were more than FOUNDING OF A REPUBLIC. Due to too much film content and too many characters, several actors' appearances had to be cut. When asked who was cut, Director Huang Jianxin played coy. "Over ten actors were cut, but you have to watch it to find out who." However he mentioned that this time he did not cut director John Woo (Ng Yu Sum)'s part. "Last time in REPUBLIC I was forced to cut Director Ng's film, this time his performance was even more exciting. I have to make it up to him, I can't cut him again!" He also said, "Every participating actor's performance was exciting. I wouldn't waste their effort, so the cut footage will be online in the future."

Each actor was very excited about this performance. Feng Yuanzheng said that he had three scenes of speeches that each lasted six to seven minutes. When he was giving his speech, he could not even hear the director yell cut. Even his voice was hoarse. Li Qin said that the director handled Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong's romance was very romantic and very Korean series like. In addition, Huang Jianxin was also full of confidence in the box office. "It absolutely has no problem passing FOUNDING OF A REPUBLIC. This film used the most people, material and sincerity. I hope Post 80 and Post 90 viewers can experience that raging era, the Chinese people's determination in the struggle."
