The story focuses on the life of Ip Man, the master of the Wing Chun school of martial arts, and on his rivalry with other Kung Fu masters of his era.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Grandmaster China Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Ngxn9NzLzs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And the monkey king is coming back in comedic genius Stephen Chow\u2019s new film \u201cJourney to the West\u201d. The classic Chinese mythology movie is about the pilgrimage of the monkey king, who accompanies a Buddhist monk to retrieve a sacred Buddhist text in the Western Region. Although he won\u2019t be acting in the new film, fans will still get a taste of Chow\u2019s unique sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJourney to the West\u201d stars Chinese actors Huang Bo, Wen Zhang, and Shu Qi as the three leads. It is set for release in China in early February, right before the Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the comedic side is a Chinese superman. Starring Chen Bo Lin, \u201cMachi Action\u201d is a film about an actor who plays the role of a superhero on a television show. When his contract isn\u2019t renewed by his employers, the \u201csuperhero\u201d struggles to survive as a working actor and is forced to take a hard look at his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMachi Action\u201d is produced by writer and director Giddens Ko, from Taiwan. Ko\u2019s first film \u201cYou Are the Apple of My Eye\u201d took the Asian box office by storm in 2011, becoming the surprise hit of that year. \u201cMachi Action\u201d will be released on January 18th.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>more at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.china.org.cn\/video\/2013-01\/03\/content_27571094.htm\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.china.org.cn\/video\/2013-01\/03\/content_27571094.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<!--:--><!--:cn--><br \/>\n<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first quarter of 2013 is looking to be an exciting one for Chinese-language films.
