The international film event "Cannes Film Festival" in France will announce its selections on the 10th, and the authoritative Hollywood magazine predicts that the most popular choices for Chinese films at Cannes this year. The Louis Koo Tin Lok and Sean Lau Ching Wan starred SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SHAN) has been considered a cut above the rest. The Shu Qi and Jackson Yee starred RESURRECTION has also been well received. Reportedly in order to catch up with the competition, the two have been working day and night and fighting hard to catch the "last train" to sign up!

The 78th Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 13th to 24th, and the selections will be announced on the 10th of this month. The authoritative American film magazine "The Hollywood Reporter" has predicted the Chinese film selections for this year's Cannes main competition, among which SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT starring Koo Tin Lok, Lau Ching Wan, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), the sci-fi suspense RESURRECTION starring Shu Qi and Jackson Yee (Yi Yang Qianxi), and the Jiang Wen directed and starred LET THE MUSIC FLY would all be popular choices.

The Mak Chun Lung directed SONS took nearly 10 years from preparation, filming to post-production, and the film company finally announced its plans to release it this year. Earlier a 15-minute special promotional video was released at the Hong Kong International Film and Television Market, which not only included "Snow At Causeway Bay" but also a clip of Gum Sing Mo waking up at the Western Harbor Crossing. With Lau Ching Wan's acting skills on full display, "a different Ching Wan" could be seen and gave the film plenty to talk about before its release date has even been set!
