Shanghai Calling
Director Daniel Hsia | USA/China | 100 min.
Shanghai Calling is a romantic comedy about modern-day American immigrants in an unfamiliar land. When an ambitious New York attorney is sent to Shanghai on assignment, he immediately stumbles into a legal mess that could spell the end of his career. But with help from a beautiful relocation specialist, a well-connected foreign businessman, a clever but unassuming journalist, and a street-smart assistant, Sam might just save his job, discover romance, and learn to appreciate the many wonders Shanghai has to offer.
To be followed by a Q&A with director Daniel Hsia and producer Janet Yang moderated by Jonathan Landreth, veteran Chinese entertainment reporter and managing editor of ChinaFile.com, a new online magazine of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society.
