A Chinese Fairy Tale 2011: New Poster & Trailer

This film is a remake of Tsui Hark’s adaptation of Pu Songling’s “A Chinese Ghost Story”

The original story written by 17th-century Chinese author Pu Songling is a love story between a tax collector, Ning Caichen, and a ghost named Nie Xiaoqian. It has already been made into films many times before, with the most famous being a version produced by Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, starring superstars Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong.

The new remake will also focus on the mysterious relationship between the spiritcatcher and the spirit.

The new drama also offers a breakthrough for Liu Yifei, whose roles up until now have been fairylike beauties of perfection. The new character will be her first attempt at playing a more multi-faceted character with bits of both good and evil.
