Shanghai Celebrates Festival Opening With Glitzy Red Carpet Event


The 26th edition of the Shanghai International Film Festival avoided the seasonal rain and got underway with a glitzy red carpet event.

The ceremony was held at the Shanghai Grand Theater in the downtown area on an evening that was warm and spring-like and without the “plum rain” or summer downpours that the city is known for at this time of year. Wu was representing new film “Decoded,” directed by Chen Sicheng, whose “Lost in the Stars” earned more than RMB3.5 billion at the mainland China box office. As has become customary at Shanghai, the opening event was an opportunity for the cast and crews of upcoming summer release titles to tread the red carpet and drum up some advanced publicity.
