Largely unknown until the mid-budget production surprised everyone by receiving five nominations, two of which it won, at Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards last year Alonzo Mourning Heat Jersey , A Fool's arrival in the mainland has become highly anticipated. Adapted from the novel, The Running Moonlight, A Fool takes place in Northwest China and tells the story of a local farmer who encounters an intellectually disabled man on the street and in the process of trying to get the man home finds himself caught up in a strange situation where he is accused of human trafficking.
A black comedy about the absurdity of life, while the English name of the film is rather straightforward, the Chinese title Yige Shaozi, which means "a spoon Wayne Ellington Authentic Jersey ," may seem a bit confusing. At the conference Chen explained that the pronunciation for "spoon" sounds similar to the word for "fool" in the Northwestern dialect. Also adding a local feel to the film, the lead character (played by Chen) is named Latiaozi, a Northwestern type of noodle.
Chen, the 44-year old actor-turned director and scriptwriter, is known to Chinese audiences through his appearances on a number of popular TV shows. His very recent historical costume opera Legend of Zhen Huan, in which he plays the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) emperor Udonis Haslem Authentic Jersey , Yongzheng, is set to air in the US as well.
While along with the booming film market in China many actors and novelists have turned to the big screen as directors in order to get their piece of this ever growing cake. Chen, however, said he is not following this trend. "Only when I find the right novel or script, when I find there are things I want to speak out about, will I then try to present them in a film Tyler Johnson Authentic Jersey ," Chen said.
According to Wang Xuebing, one of the stars of the film and a longtime friend of Chen's, Chen had been preparing over 10 years to make a film.
"He dreamed of shooting a film when in college. Some of his scripts have already been made into films, but he felt reluctant [to step behind the camera] because he hadn't found the right one for himself," Wang said.
Chen admitted to this long ambition to become a director. "I'm ready to quit my career as an actor at anytime," Chen Tim Hardaway Authentic Jersey , who has been acting for more than a decade, told media. According to media estimates, Chen most likely makes 100,000 yuan ($16,000) an episode on TV, possibly even more considering the popularity of Legend of Zhen Huan.
As box office revenues in the mainland continue to rapidly rise Shaquille O'Neal Authentic Jersey , how much a film can earn had become a major topic of discussion both inside and outside the industry. However, Wang said that they do not view box office returns as a sign of success. "As long as our basic costs can be recovered… we can't really control how much it will make," he replied.
"Sure a lot people like Coca Cola and fast foods, but I think a well-made dish, with a rich taste, can also been enjoyed. There's no contradiction here Rodney McGruder Authentic Jersey ," Chen said when comparing art films with commercial blockbusters. "In my view, there are only good films and bad films."

What is Lunula laser treatment for nail fungal infections?
Laser light beams are coherent waves of light at a specific frequency. Lunula Laser has developed an effective onychomycosis laser device that needs the patient to undergo at the most four painless sittings. Laser light may range in frequency from 300 nm at the infrared end to 635nm at the ultraviolet end. High-energy laser light has the capacity to destroy bacteria and virus but can also generate heat as is found in infrared lasers. This specific nail treatment laser device generates laser light with wavelengths of 635nm and 405 nm in a unique mechanism that covers the entire nail and allows for targeted delivery of pathogen destroying energy without damaging or harming the issue, or causing pain. The class 2 laser unit does not produce heat and the frequency has been chosen for its high antimicrobial action. 635nm wavelength enhances immunological activity in tissues while degrading fungal cells. It assists in rejuvenation to assist in faster growth of clean, shinier, healthier nails. 405 nm wavelength has powerful anti-fungal effect.
