Most of my friends know what I've been doing during the last three months: working with the VFX team on the german movie John Rabe. Sadly, no trailer has been officially released yet so I don't really have anything to show. But! 'Majestic Film Verleih', the company who will bring the movie to german cinemas this year (or so I hope) released 8 official press pictures.
Jason Statham plays a farmer called Farmer (no joke) who has to go on a mission to save the world, after an evil sorcerer (Ray Liotta) decides to take over it. His son gets killed on the way along and his wife captured. There's also Burt Reynolds as some dumb king as well as men in suits who are supposed to be a warrior race called…
When we drove back from Wuzhen to Shanghai in January, we encountered the above posted police car. The first time it passed us by, I was like 'wtf?', that can't really be a police car. But then I noticed the siren on top of the car as well as the white licence plate - and got really angry that I didn't take a picture. But our…
Yesterday we took a day off from all that family-meeting-during-spring-festival business and took a almost two hour long walk on the famous Xi'An city wall. The Xi'An city wall surrounds completely the inner downtown area, which makes it a incredible 13.74 kilometers long. It was established in the year 582, which was the second year of the Sui dynasty and it was always repaired and kept…
Top topic among people in the wife's and mine age rank this spring festival: the stolen sex tape pictures from Hong Kong star Edison Chen, the Sexgate. So this dude is a famous singer slash actor, and bedded recently quite an impressive amount of chinese female stars (god knows how many before, the thieves probably didn't steal all his tapes, and he probably didn't film every…
"Dangerous" was probably the album I listened to the most as a young, dumb boy. And I absolutely loved Michael's great music videos on Mtv, too! I guess I'm one of the hardcore fans from him. Anyway, his last two or three albums were really bad, so I had almost forgotten about him. Well, his music, in the news he appeared more than enough, didn't he?…
My wife, my parents-in-law and myself had a nice little Mahjong session just now. Real chinese Mahjong is played with 136 tiles which contain about 30 different characters, so that each one is about four times to be found in the game. Sounds a lot like Poker, doesn't it? Wikipedia tells me that the game may have been invented 500 years before christ by a guy…
Yesterday was the first official day of the german festival here in Nanjing. The first act on the big stage, where I got an job as a camera man, was a chinese orchestra which performed german classic songs. Was nice. But then came the main event: The german-nationally famous electronic pop band called '2raumwohnung' and boy did they make the chinese people dance! The audience was…
Yeah, it was good to wait until the golden week in China was over. Sanya rocks!
We're in a nice hotel with a nice beach at Yalong bay at the moment. Gotta go eat some fresh fish now. More pictures later - maybe!
