An urban love story targeted directly at the growing class of Chinese young and upwardly mobile and that has been compared to “The Devil Wears Prada,” about the relationship between an artist (played by popular actor Liu Ye) and a fashion-magazine editor (played by actress Yao Chen). It features works by artist Yue Minjun. Says director Alexi Tan, a former fashion photographer in New York who now lives in Beijing: “This film focuses on the beautiful side of Beijing: art, fashion and entertainment. All these key industries that are in Beijing.”The movie, backed by John Woo’s Lion Rock Productions, was made for 12 million Chinese yuan (about US$1.8 million), far less than the going price for Mr. Yue’s best-known works. The film's screenplay was written by Ning Caishen who also wrote the 2006 popular costume television comedy "My Own Swordsman".
