The stars from the new Chinese film "the Ideal City" came out to celebrate the premiere of the new film on Monday night in Beijing.
Jacyee Fong, son of Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan, Wang Taili, and director Sun Bohan were all in attendance.
The film is about Chinese professional rally driving adapted from best-selling author Han Han's novel of the same name.
Filmmaker Sun Bohan spoke about why he chose to make The Ideal City into a film.
"Five years ago I was thinking of what kind of film I wanted to make. I wrote a few stories, but none of them met my standards. Then a friend of mine recommended some stories written by young writers. Among them I saw 'the Ideal City.' It was exactly what I was looking for. I was intrigued by the characters, the atmosphere and the writing was very good."
The film tells the story of a college student played by Jacyee Fong who's fed up with gang life and looks for better prospects elsewhere.
The Ideal City hits screens all across China Wednesday.
