'Red Cliff' Vies for Best Asian Film

Hong Kong director John Woo's historical epic "Red Cliff" scooped nominations for both best film and best director at the Asian Film Awards Wednesday.

But the film's two stars, Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro, were overlooked by judges for the third annual Hong Kong-based prize, AFP reported.

"Red Cliff" will compete for the best picture title with five other Asian films, including the Chinese-language film "The Warlords", Japanese anime flick "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea", and the South Korean film "The Good, the Bad and the Weird", which led the list of nominees with eight nods.

In the best director category, Woo will face "The Good, the Bad and the Weird" director Kim Ji-woon, as well as Chinese mainland filmmaker Feng Xiaogang, who was nominated for "If You Are the One".

John Woo is best known for directing the Hollywood blockbuster "Mission: Impossible II". He released the US$80 million film "Red Cliff" in two segments, with the first coming out in July last year and the second half currently hitting theaters. "Red Cliff I" is the most profitable Chinese-language film in history, and the sequel has also reported good revenue so far.

"If You Are the One" comedian Ge You is the only Chinese nominee for the best actor award, while Chinese talents seized half of the spots for best actress. Jiang Wenli ("And the Spring Comes"), Zhao Wei ("Painted Skin") and Zhou Xun ("The Equation of Love and Death") will all vie for the title.

A total of 36 Asian films were selected from among hundreds of entries in 13 categories. The awards are organized by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society.

The nominations will be judged by a 13-member jury headed by Michelle Yeoh, the Malaysian-Chinese actress who starred in the 1997 James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies".

The winners will be announced at a ceremony scheduled for March 23.

Worldwide Fame Can Wait for Taiwan Superstar Jay Chou

His face adorns countless advertisements in China, he's sold millions of albums, and wherever he goes his adoring fans mob him. But for Taiwan singing sensation and budding actor Jay Chou, worldwide fame can wait.

Chou's music, which intertwines Western R&B and hip-hop with a distinctive Chinese flavor, has drawn a huge and sometimes obsessive following across Asia, especially in China, since his debut with the album "Jay" in 2000.

Last year's sports comedy "Kung Fu Dunk" was a hit across Asia for Chou. He'll appear onscreen with Taiwan supermodel Chiling Lin in "Ci Ling," which won't be released for at least another year.

But unlike Korean pop sensation and actor Rain, one of Asia's top-selling musicians, who has tried with little success to break into Hollywood, Chou says global renown can wait.

"For the international market, you have to study English," Chou told Reuters in a rare interview with foreign media, admitting that his English skills were not up to the task.

"When the time is right, I will do the international market, but it's not right yet."

Brought up in suburban Taipei by his mother, Chou, 30, flunked his college entrance exam and had thought about becoming a piano teacher, until fame came knocking.

With his catchy songs, street Mandarin, boyish good looks and self-effacing, almost shy, manner, he has won the hearts of fans even outside Chinese-speaking Asia, and has had much success in Japan. He is rarely out of the paparazzi's glare.

His global profile was raised when he starred alongside internationally renowned Chinese actors Gong Li and Chow Yun-fat in Oscar-nominated director Zhang Yimou's spectacular 2006 historical drama "Curse of the Golden Flower."

EYES ON THE SILVER SCREEN

Already garlanded with praise and awards for his music, Chou now wants to pay more attention to his film career.

"Movies are more of a focus for now. As for music, I'll put out one album a year," said Chou, immaculately dressed in a white and gray checked suit, a small diamond-encrusted crucifix dangling from his neck. "I'll probably do two films a year."

Unusual for a star in the bubble-gum world of Mandopop, the classically trained Chou writes many of his own songs.

"He's a god," said Lin, getting ready to start filming "Ci Ling" with Chou, a film whose unlikely plot centers on a couple who go back in time to ancient Mongolia looking for treasure, according to Chinese media. "Nobody can match his creativity."

The power and popularity of his songs have not gone unnoticed in Beijing. Some have appeared on a list of 100 approved songs for music lessons in Chinese middle schools.

"He's unique, in every way. He's the best of his generation," said "Ci Ling" director Chu Yin-ping.

Chou says he would like to work with Western artists, bashfully admitting a preference to team up with U.S. hip-hop group the Black Eyed Peas. Fellow Taiwan star Jolin Tsai in 2007 recorded a song with Australian pop star Kylie Minogue.

"If I have to sing in English, wow, it will take a lot of time," Chou said. "If they don't mind, I'll sing in Chinese and they can sing in English. That would be a better match."
