China’s foremost screenwriter, Yan Geling, has teamed with Italian director and producer Cristiano Bortone to adapt Yan’s novella “The Secret Talker.”
Set during the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the film is a romantic thriller centering on a Chinese woman, married to an American college professor, who thought she had found freedom and peace of mind until she suddenly starts receiving emails from a mysterious stalker. The obsessive relationship begins to reveal dark secrets of her past life in China.
“The Secret Talker” is expected to go into production in 2019 with a major Chinese actress as female lead and an American star as male lead.
Yan, who is both an author and screenwriter, was recently responsible for the novel “Youth,” a bittersweet, nostalgic tale of a military entertainment troupe. The book sold close to 1 million copies, and director Feng Xiaogang’s film adaptation was the biggest hit of the Christmas period,...

SHANGHAI -- Suspense started the Shanghai International Film Festival Saturday morning as no opening film was named in the catalog and market booths costing $800 and up remained empty.
By evening, however, the 10th annual festival -- separated from the Shanghai Television Festival for the first time -- began to show signs of the life organizers hope someday will re-bill China's commercial capital as its movie capital for the first time since the 1930s.

A VIP reception at the imposing municipal building saw the likes of Hong Kong hit maker Bill Kong ("Crouching Tiger") rub shoulders with director Jia Zhangke, whose "Still Life" won at Venice last year, and Jerome Paillard, director general of the Cannes Marche du Film.
Absent were Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, but Sharon Stone and Norah Jones, and the directors of other film festivals from Hawaii to Dubai, loaned an international air. Some sipped champagne before a move in sponsoring Cadillacs to the opening ceremony at the Shanghai Arts Center next door.
Veterand director Chen Kaige -- known best in the West for "Farewell My Concubine", and in China, these days, for "The Promise" -- is festival jury head . Chen, who in a few weeks will start shooting a biography of Chinese opera legend Mei Lanfang, reminisced and offered guarded praise.
"A long time ago, the Shanghai government didn't know how to start a film festival," said Chen.
