Adding class to quality of Erdos cashmere

(China Daily) With the Chinese consumer landscape changing rapidly, homegrown brands are struggling to attract affluent young customers. But Erdos, a Chinese household name when it comes to cashmere, is trying something different－creating two brands from one.

Erdos held a fashion show in Beijing on Sept 1, presenting two brands－Erdos 1980 and Erdos. And supermodel Liu Wen and actress Zhang Ziyi were on its guest list.

The show opened with a ballet performance in which dancers were all dressed in cashmere.

The collections on show comprised coats, dresses and sweaters, highlighting simple lines and subtle colors.

Erdos 1980 reinterprets the classic style of the original brand with its emphasis on quality and comfort, while Erdos targets China's well-educated middle class, which looks for both quality and fashion.

Although China's apparel industry is facing difficulties, new opportunities are emerging as consumers today have more specific needs, says Wang Zhen, vice-president of the Erdos Group, who is also the daughter of Wang Linxiang, founder of the company.

"This is an opportunity that we cannot afford to miss," she says.

"Our customers are changing and diversifying, and we have to meet their needs."

The strategy adjustment is based on long-term market research that includes a survey by McKinsey & Company, which covered 5,000 consumers in more than 30 cities in China.

Founded in 1980, Erdos is a well-known name in China, but it used to be more associated with quality rather than fashion.

But as China's consumers shift toward class and style, the company has been gradually diversifying.

The Erdos Group, which owns the Erdos brands, launched 1436, a luxury cashmere brand, in 2006, and it founded Blue Erdos in 2012, which targets the young crowd with its simple designs and affordable prices.

The Erdos Group, which has more than 1,000 stores in over 500 cities in China, and stores in Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, also has plans to expand into other countries.

Meanwhile, the company plans to revamp its store on the Chinese online marketplace Tmall.com in an attempt to cater to the Internet generation.

And Wang hopes that all these moves will cover all the major customer groups in China.

Wang, who grew up in Ordos in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, was sent to Britain to study at the age of 15.

She later went to Cambridge to study engineering where she acquired a master's degree.

After graduation, she worked for the consultancy firm Roland Berger, where she learned about business management.

In 2006, she left Roland Berger to join the family business, launching the 1436 brand as she felt Chinese cashmere was undervalued.

"We had the best material and the best technique, but we didn't have a good brand. I wanted people to know about the value of cashmere," says Wang, whose previous work experience let her tap international resources at a time when Chinese fashion brands were just starting to be recognized.

The Erdos Group now has French designer Gilles Dufour, who worked with Karl Lagerfeld in Chanel for more than a decade, as its creative director.

And the appointment of supermodel Liu as the company's spokeswoman now means the company has a much more relatable brand image for young people.

The company has also recently reached agreements with an Italian designer to head the Erdos 1980 line, but Wang would not reveal the name.

The Erdos Group is also seeking to collaborate with emerging Chinese designers.

A capsule collection done with China's leading independent designer Uma Wang will be shown at Shanghai Fashion Week later this month.

Chinese serial killer story to go to the big screen

The recent arrest of China's "Jack the Ripper" has prompted the killer's story to be adapted into a thriller movie, a film studio said.

The suspect Gao Chengyong raped and killed 11 women and girls between 1988 and 2002 at victims' homes in Baiyin, Gansu Province, and Baotou, Inner Mongolia. He often mutilated his victims and managed to escape justice for 28 years until his arrest on Aug. 26.

On Thursday, Meridian Entertainment announced on Tianya.cn, China's biggest online message board, that it would establish a new film studio and adapt the top 10 unresolved crime cases into films, including Gao's story.

Tianya.cn, a leading online forum since 1999, provides a platform for internet users to discuss news, entertainment, life and other subjects. The unresolved cases are one of its users' major interests and topics, with many of them searching out the truth and trying to connect the dots.

Gao's story was discussed in 60,000 posts on Tianya.cn and was viewed by 4.6 million times. Many anonymous sources provided inside documents about the case and pieced together the evidence. The useful detective inferences helped the police resolve the case.

Jennifer Dong, founder & CEO of Meridian Entertainment which invested in the top grossing film "Mojin: The Lost Legend," said they would make a series of action-thriller movies for the cases rather than documentary films. She also said they would ask for help from top crime film script writers and filmmakers overseas to make sure the upcoming films reach top international standards.

Meridian Entertainment, established in 2013, has teamed up with FremantleMedia North America in July to run Random House Studio, which was bought from Penguin Random House in order to produce movies and TV shows based on works by the publishers' authors.

Interview: Chinese film industry needs "idealistic" professionals: Venice Film Festival jury member

(Xinhua) -- Chinese cinema needs "mission-driven and idealistic" professionals to bring more diversity to the industry, Chinese member of the international jury of the 73rd Venice Film Festival Zhao Wei said here on Friday.

"I do agree that there is currently a lack of diversity in the Chinese film market. Whenever a certain genre becomes popular, everyone would rush to make more similar films," the 40-year-old actress-turned-director told Xinhua in an exclusive interview. "But indeed, experimenting with a new genre is a risky thing. There aren't enough adventurous investors in the Chinese market who are willing to take the risk."

Zhao is the only Asian member among the nine jurors of this year's main competition, and will be presenting the award for Best Director at the closing ceremony on Saturday evening.

Born in east China's Anhui Province, the actress rose to stardom in the late 90s for her role in a popular Chinese TV series.

After receiving her Master's degree in film directing from Beijing Film Academy, Zhao made her directorial debut in 2013 with So Young. The film raked in over 718 million yuan(107.2 million U.S. dollars) in final box office in China.

"After So Young, which was a coming-of-age movie, there were a lot of films made in China with the same or similar topics," she said. "The investors thought this genre was profitable, so they just desperately poured their money into making more of the same kind of films. People have come to realise that but maybe it is not yet enough."

However, there are still some visionaries in China who are eager to invest in artistic films, Zhao said. 

"The market itself won't change. No one can decide anything for the market. We need more brave professionals to try to set the trend."

Despite the strong Chinese presence in investment, production and distribution at this year's festival, no Chinese-language film was selected for the main competition.

Zhao said she considered this a normal thing, but admitted that it showed signs of the lack of diversity and the over-commercialisation of the Chinese film industry.

"The non-presence of Chinese films in the main competition implies one thing -- there are less artistic films in the Chinese market, but more commercial films. That's the only reason. It doesn't mean that 
Chinese movies are bad. They are just telling more audience-oriented and box office-oriented stories," she said.

As for the prospects of Chinese cinema in the oversea market, Zhao believes that government support is essential.

"The Chinese government should support the film industry so our culture can prosper and go abroad. 

It should create opportunities for Chinese filmmakers to exchange ideas with their foreign counterparts," she said, adding that the process could take a long time.

She noted that China had established some film festivals where young talents could find support, and that the country would benefit from protecting creativity and imagination of artists and filmmakers.

First time serving on the jury in Venice, Zhao finds the occasion resembling a seminar on cinema. "I watched on average three films per day, and then discussed with other jurors who came from a variety of backgrounds. I got the chance to see what's going on in the global film industry. There were a lot of surprises, and many things to learn."

"The Woman Who Left" by Filipino director Lav Diaz won the Golden Lion, the highest prize presented at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival which concluded on Saturday evening.

The 228-minute drama tells the story of a former schoolteacher who was wrongly convicted and put behind bars for 30 years, but shocked by the reality of her homeland after leaving prison, and decided to take revenge.

Diaz, born in 1958 in Datu Paglas of the Philippines, is an acclaimed independent filmmaker and winner of several awards at other international film festivals.

At the award ceremony, Diaz said his win was "unbelievable," and dedicated the prize to his country and the people of the Philippines.

At the press conference after the ceremony, member of the jury and winner of last year's Golden Lion, Venezuelan director Lorenzo Vigas said the film "affected every juror emotionally," and was able to "push the media forward."

In total, eight films were awarded this year in the main competition Venezia 73, by an international jury of nine, chaired by British director Sam Mendes.

The Silver Lion, or the Grand Jury Prize, went to American designer-turned-director Tom Ford for his second feature film "Nocturnal Animals," a thriller starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Best Director prize was shared by Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky for "Paradise" and Mexican director Amat Escalante for "The Untamed."

Argentine actor Oscar Martinez was named the Best Actor for his performance in "The Distinguished Citizen," while American actress Emma Stone landed Best Actress for her role in musical "La La Land."

"Jackie," a movie based on the story of former U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and starring Natalie Portman, was given the prize for Best Screenplay.

Mendes said at the press conference after the ceremony that all the eight films have things in common, such as "the lack of comprises, original vision and pure identity."

In the Orizzonti section dedicated to indie films and emerging talents, the Best Film went to "Liberami" by Italian director Federica di Giacomo, and the Best Director to Fien Troch from Belgium, for her film "Home."

This year, a total of 43 countries and regions participated in the festival which kicked off on Aug. 31.
Twenty feature films were chosen from the 2,901 films viewed to join the Venezia 73 session, 19 for the Orizzonti section.

In addition, 14 short film, including seven documentaries, also competed in the Orizzonti section, while 18 feature films and two short films were screened out of competition.

The festival ended with the screening of the closing film "The Magnificent Seven" by American director Antoine Fuqua, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt.

Established in 1932, the Venice Film Festival is the oldest-running film festival in the world, and one of the three major European film festivals.

Faye Wong returns to spotlight with Shanghai concert

(China Daily) No one gets attention like Faye Wong.

The pop diva returned to the spotlight on September 9 when she announced in Beijing that she will hold a concert at Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena in December this year, her first show since her tour in 2010.

Titled Faye's Moments Live 2016, the concert will be streamed live exclusively by Chinese internet giant Tencent, which means her fans will be able to enjoy the show from any corner of the world.

Wong says she will perform more than 20 songs and the look of the stage will be "dreamy".

"I will sing some of the hits, along with the songs that are my favorites but I rarely perform at concerts," says Wong.

"I have never been too ambitious about my career. I don't listen to much music these days either. I just do what I like," she adds.

Asked why there will be just one concert, the 47-year-old says she is interested in the streaming technology and wants to give it a try. The show will also use virtual technology.

"This is not a farewell concert," Wong says, in reply to the rumors about her retirement. "Probably I will have tours in the future, but this time I just want to hold one concert."

The news conference was streamed live by Tencent, which attracted nearly 10 million fans. 

According to Han Zhijie, the general manager of Tencent's copyright department, the internet company will work closely with Wong by using latest technology to interact with her fans, such as launching exclusive online channels to live-stream the concert's preparation.

Katie Chan, Wong's agent, who has been collaborating with the pop star for over 20 years, says: 

"Faye is a creative artist. At different stages of her life, she has been trying to give shape to her own ideas. We are grateful that we have Tencent to help us with the latest technology to realize her ideas."

Chan adds that rumors of Wong's return to the stage took off in the past few months, with reports of a planned tour and photos of the singer leaking online.

"We want to take our time and present a great show to the fans," Chan says.

Wong's longtime partner, songwriter and producer Zhang Yadong, who has written songs for her and produced some of her most popular albums, such as Restless in 1996, Lovers & Strangers in 1999, and Fable in 2000, will be the music director of the Shanghai concert. Zhang also wrote and produced Wong's latest single, Dust, which was released online in July.

Wong denies that she will perform with her daughter, Dou Jington, at the concert. The 19-year-old Dou, who is the daughter of Wong and rock singer-songwriter Dou Wei, is also a singer-songwriter, who released her debut album, Stone Cafe, this May.

But Wong says that she may perform Dou Jingtong's songs at the concert, but she hasn't decided yet.

"I like her songwriting style and maybe we could collaborate sometime in the future at some smaller shows," Wong says.

Born and brought up in Beijing, Wong moved to Hong Kong in 1987 with her family and became a pop singer after winning third place in a singing contest a year later.

She performed in Cantonese at the beginning of her career and one of the her songs, Fragile Woman, a cover of Japanese song, Rouge, sung by Naomi Chiaki, won her popularity in the 1990s.

From 1993's album, Random Thoughts, Wong changed her music style from traditional Cantonese sad love ballads to alternative music, which was heavily influenced by the Western bands, such as 
The Cranberries and Bjork.

She began singing in Mandarin in 1994, with songs such as Pledge and Exit, co-written with her ex-husband Dou Wei. Her musical transition was a great success and propelled Wong into one of the best-selling female pop singers in Asia.

So far, Wong, who has swept nearly all the music awards of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland, has released over 20 Cantonese and Mandarin albums.

Besides being a singer, she has also starred in movies, such as Chungking Express directed by Wong Kar-wai, which won her the Best Actress nomination of the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Though she rarely appears in public and stopped releasing albums-her last studio album was To Love, which was released in 2003, fans get glimpses of her life from pictures taken by paparazzi.

Her personal life also gets lots of attention.

Wong, along with her second husband, actor-turned-entrepreneur Li Yapeng, whom she divorced in 2013, established the Smile Angel Foundation, after her daughter was born with cleft lip in 2006. The organization helps children born with cleft lips.

In September 2014, Wong's agent Chan confirmed that Wong and Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse resumed dating after they had gone their separate ways 11 years ago, which made the couple hit headlines again.

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma spins musical magic in Hong Kong Philharmonic opener

(SCMP) Yo-Yo Ma is a bit like a US president after his final term – he has done it all, has nothing left to prove, and can now devote himself to whatever he likes.

The cellist has been stitching the globe together with music – founding the Silk Road Ensemble and collaborating with the likes of Bobby McFerrin, American bluegrass musicians and tango musicians. 

It was rewarding to hear him come full circle to Chinese-inspired music, as he did in the lovely concerto for cello and sheng, Duo, by Zhao Lin.

The programme for the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra’s opening concert of the 2016-17 season was not about showing off Ma’s virtuosity, but about producing musical magic in slow, contemplative pieces.

Inspired by the Chinese epic Journey to the West, Duo was composed for sheng player Wu Tong and Ma. It is a partnership of two lyrical instruments with liquid, expressive sounds, and Wu was a match for Ma in control and sensitivity.

The sheng, a bamboo mouth organ, is considered the ancestor of the accordion and the harmonica, and can sound like anything from a flute to a muted jazz trumpet.

Composer Zhao has found a way to blend Western and Chinese music organically. Melodically, Duo has a Chinese flavour and a clean, transparent texture, but it makes idiomatic use of Western harmony and orchestration.

The section at the heart of the piece starts with a steady background of bell-like harp notes. Sustained strings and actual bells blend to create a timeless, floating texture. Soft, vaporous sheng chords are layered over that while on Ma’s cello gentle phrases rise and fall, at times foaming up into flurries and outbursts. It is the kind of modernism that comes from making a new sound from two traditions rather than self-consciously breaking with the past.

Duo is also modern in the sense that the musical ideas keep evolving and spinning. It would be even more powerful if Zhao had repeated the ideas enough to make them stick in the listener’s mind, rather than having them constantly change shape and slip away. Still, the sensation of plunging into a deep pool of water was delicious.

Opening the concert was Bizet’s Symphony in C. There was a whiff of the opera stage in this piece despite its classical form.

Principal guest conductor Yu Long’s gestures were square and no-nonsense, but the sounds he brought forth from the orchestra were delightfully springy, songful and swaying. The discipline instilled by music director Jaap van Zweden over the years has paid off and the orchestra sounded radiant, mature and confident. It was only in the final, fast-paced Allegro Vivace movement that the highest violin passages showed a little fuzziness.

High points of the Bizet were Michael Wilson’s oboe solo, with echoes of the Habanera from Carmen, and a thrillingly sustained arc of melody from the violin section, both in the slow movement. In the last movement, the light-footed, irresistible theme suggested dancers with ostrich feather headdresses.

With the first notes of Dvorak’s Silent Woods, Ma’s cello lit up the concert hall after the intermission.

It was a startlingly human voice, quiet but seemingly close, like an intimate whisper.

The piece is just five minutes long, so it was over almost before it started and melted away like a wisp of cotton candy. The orchestra threatened to spoil the enchanted mood by drowning out the soloist at times, but by the end the proper balance and atmosphere had been restored.

Korean War film 'My War'center of controversy before debut in mainland theaters

My War, a new film depicting the history of the Korean War (1950-53), will hit cinemas in the Chinese mainland on Thursday. 

Produced by the China Film Group Corporation, directed by Hong Kong director Pang Chun and starring popular actor Liu Ye and actress Wang Luodan, My War focuses on a group of young people who leave their hometown to take part in the war effort and the bond that forms among them. The film is an adaptation of late renowned writer Ba Jin's novel Tuanyuan (Reunion).

From the 1960s to the 1980s, The Korean War was a popular setting for Chinese war films. Among them, 1964's Heroic Breed was a big hit that influenced a generation. 

However, it has been quite some time since major efforts by film studios and filmmakers have been made to capture this part of history. 

A promotional clip for the film released earlier this month sparked some controversy online. 

In the clip, several elderly Chinese tourists played by veteran actors proudly talk about how they triumphantly entered Seoul during the war in front a South Korean tour guide. 

Some netizens have commented that it's inappropriate to make a big deal about something that happened more than 60 years ago, while others worried it may worsen already tense ties with South Korea.
