Fan YuMing starts filming satire "Huo Guo"

Director (Andy) Fan YuMing kicks off filming the short trailer-style film "Huo Guo" ("hot pot") today. This modern gangster comedy film presents a satyric look at modern China as local and Italian forces struggle to gain a piece of art from China's heritage. Mix all the ingredients and wait until it comes to a boil. A typical spicy hot-potI feel like I am going out of the frying pan, (or at least the hot pot) and into the fire. I am acting in this little production and will be speaking in Chinese...    (I am nervous because my Chinese sucks!) including some lines in Shanghainese   -- so now I know the meaning of " and have found it is useful in Shanghai traffic.
