When you decide to watch Tsui Hark's new film, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," don't be fooled by its title. The word "detective" doesn't guarantee a detective story, but a crime-action film packed with magnificent action scenes with the aid of upgraded filming gadgets and technique. In his latest outing, the Hong Kong director presents a prequel to his 2010 box office hit, "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame". The story traces the footstep of Tang Dynasty official, Dee Renjie, as he starts his political career in the capital city of Luoyang. His arrival coincides with a devastating attack on the empire's naval fleet: an entire armada is allegedly annihilated by a sea dragon. Dee's boss, Yuchi, is charged to root out the attackers. He will need the help of Dee and many others to solve the case and uncover a conspiracy against the empire. Just like many other contemporary detective films, for example the new Sherlock Holmes series starring Robert Downey. Jr., "Rise of the Sea Dragon" doesn't offer a satisfactory detective story. The audience would most likely have an idea of what the story is all about after they've seen a quarter of the narrative, so there is no room for any kind of suspension at all. Perhaps, the directors of today are less willing to risk challenging the viewers' intellect. I guess we'll just have to keep paying for mediocre stories, unless enough of us decided to otherwise make a difference. Fortunately, Tsui Hark is the kind of director that likes to try new things. Tsui is previously known for his work involving the world of martial arts, or Wuxia, but in recent years, he's been seeking new ways to present his world. In 2011, he adopted IMAX filming techniques when making "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate." This time, in "Rise of the Sea Dragon," he pushes himself further by filming 3D underwater scenes. His efforts were not un-rewarded, as many of the magnificent action scenes were reminiscent of "Pirates of Caribbean"--only better. Tsui's enterprising spirit is also show in his selection of cast members. Apart from Lau Kar-ling, who plays the Tang Empress, all major characters are portrayed by younger generation actors and actresses. The new blood brings vitality to the cast, but also weakens the characterization. Throughout his career, Tsui Hark has created many distinctive characters, but during his experiment with "Rise of the Sea Dragon," the director traded story and character development for greater visual spectacles, a stronger sense of modernity and better box office returns. For the audience, the visuals alone may be satisfactory enough, but is it really a good trade? Tsui Hark himself will be the judge of that. On a scale of one to 10, I give "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" a seven.

China's domestic film productions raked in 12.7 billion yuan in 2013, accounting for nearly 60 percent of the total box office takings with a growth rate of 54.32 percent year-on-year, an official data has revealed. According to data from the State General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the figure compares with a 2.3 percent increase of box office takings from imported films from a year earlier. Four of the top five highest-grossing films in the year were Chinese fare, with action-comedy "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" co-directed by Stephen Chow topping the list by taking 1.2 billion yuan. The other three homegrown movies that have made the top five list, namely nostalgic youth drama romance "So Young", crime-action film "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" by legendary action director Tsui Hark and "Personal Tailor", the latest comedy from Feng Xiaogang, pulled in over 500 million yuan each at box office. Other popular domestic films included Seattle-set romantic comedy "Finding Mr. Right", martial arts drama film "The Grandmaster" and novel-to-movie adaptation "Tiny Times". The huge growth of box office revenues from Chinese films as a whole compared with a year ago, experts said, can be attributed to an improved structure of the film industry and a growing number of homegrown movies that are more accessible and fun to watch. Restrictions on the imports and distribution of US-made films into China are also cited as a contributing factor. Meanwhile, it is expected that China's "youthful" film market, the world's second-biggest after America, will continue its rapid growth in years to come. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts is known worldwide for its annual Academy Awards, or the Orscars officially. Sid Ganis is the former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. "The Chinese film market place is in a certain kind of youthfulness. Not infancy, but youthfulness. It's now blossoming out, it's growing at this amazing rapid rate." According to the media reports, China's box office takings in 2012 exceeded 17 billion yuan, with domestic movies contributing 48.46 percent of the total.
