"Shanghai Calling" trailer and stills






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.

what is this from?
beaute__exquise 23rd-Feb-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
Is this a Hollywood production? I'm surprised they didn't replace the asians in Shanghai with white people.
rhapsodeeinblue 23rd-Feb-2012 09:33 pm (UTC)
IKR. Although Daniel Henney's half-white and half-Korean and he's playing a Chinese guy so that's kind of Hollywood I guess. (I don't have a problem with it though since he could pass for Chinese.)
imnotasquirrel 23rd-Feb-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM, HE'S OURS.
theshadowpuppet 23rd-Feb-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
Daniel Henney has the most perfect face.
sakuranbo_shojo 23rd-Feb-2012 09:23 pm (UTC)
its always so wrong looking at him with someone other than Uhm Jung Hwa ):

yalingster 23rd-Feb-2012 09:24 pm (UTC)
But idk how i feel about him ending up with a white person at the end of the movie :\
dothecrunge 23rd-Feb-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
On the one hand, I side-eye it, but on the other, I'm glad this is a case where an Asian man isn't desexualized
fukd_by_sugar 23rd-Feb-2012 09:47 pm (UTC)
Let's just be happy that it's an Asian male leading a movie.
canuckgirl33 24th-Feb-2012 12:53 am (UTC)
Seriously
hera_bearrra 23rd-Feb-2012 09:50 pm (UTC)
At least it's Eliza Coupe. I love her <3
starchit 23rd-Feb-2012 10:16 pm (UTC)
I agree with dothecrunge tbh. I'm both glad that an Asian man in Hollywood isn't be desexualized AND they're promoting interracial relations (because you don't really see the Asian man with the white girl, it's usually the other way around).
kapuki234 23rd-Feb-2012 10:36 pm (UTC)
it has to be a white girl to appeal to target american audiences.
minyquai 24th-Feb-2012 03:18 am (UTC)
BUT IT'S AN ASIAN MAN WITH A WHITE WOMAN

THAT NEVER HAPPENS

it_llbeyourname 23rd-Feb-2012 09:24 pm (UTC)
he is reeeeeally hot
rhapsodeeinblue 23rd-Feb-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
Omg what. This is so relevant to me. I'm going on a solo trip to Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong in a couple months and even though I'm Chinese-American I don't speak a word of Mandarin (I do speak Cantonese though) and can't read or write Chinese characters, so I'm screwed.

And this man is DELICIOUS.
thebadunkadunk 23rd-Feb-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
You'll be okay in HK but uhhh in the Mainland just be prepared for people speaking to you with the assumption that you'll respond. And be prepared to be slightly ripped off. Can you understand it though? Either way it might be confusing because the Chinese you hear in Beijing is completely different from the Chinese you hear in Shanghai
rhapsodeeinblue 23rd-Feb-2012 09:40 pm (UTC)
Yeah I've been to HK several times before and I have family there, so that'll be good. And that's exactly what I'm worried about in the Mainland--like I'd be better off being a white chick because then people would actually try to help me, lol. And no, I can't understand it. :( I'm going to try to learn some basic Mandarin really quickly.
jessi_cola 23rd-Feb-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
You'll be fine in HK; they have English on most of the signs/notices
dothecrunge 23rd-Feb-2012 09:43 pm (UTC)
I'm half Chinese so I'm in your boat regarding Mandarin. It's making me nervous about ever visiting China! And that was the only believable part of the trailer for me (he really didn't know about the tea? come on)
lokiyan 23rd-Feb-2012 09:46 pm (UTC)
I wouldn't worry so much. A lot of them will be able to tell that you're American without you having to say a word.
oojijay 23rd-Feb-2012 10:01 pm (UTC)
When are you going bb? I'm moving to Beijing this August for probably a year or so, I'm so excited! I'm learning Mandarin just now and some things I completely get and other things just baffle me, haha.
fil0li 23rd-Feb-2012 10:07 pm (UTC)
ugh cantonese..
/mandarin stan

jk. you're going to have a blast! hk is one of my fav cities in the world - where are you staying? (also, you should make a side trip to taipei while you're there. amazing city.) i'm half-chinese and lived in asia for a few years growing up, really tempted to move back after i graduate from college
temperamental 23rd-Feb-2012 10:17 pm (UTC)
Ugh, I feel you. When I was back in China over the summer I just wanted to wear a sign around my neck saying I SPEAK ENGLISH. My Mandarin's so-so, but it gets frustrating after a while because everybody assumes you're a native.

You'll definitely want to learn some basic Mandarin for Beijing and Shanghai because they're big ass scary places and Beijing's subway system makes zero sense.
chihaya19 23rd-Feb-2012 10:38 pm (UTC)
no advice. just jealousy.
kapuki234 23rd-Feb-2012 10:43 pm (UTC)
shanghai is gorgeous
spicyhorror 24th-Feb-2012 12:13 am (UTC)
Seconding everyone else, you'll be fine in HK. I've been to the Mainland a number of times, and studied in Beijing for about 10 months. I'm Chinese but was born in New Zealand, so I had to learn while I was over there. Even in Beijing, don't expect people to know English. Definitely bring a phrasebook around with you, and if you've got an iPhone I think there are apps you can download?

How long are you staying for? I love HK and Beijing, but am kind of so-so on Shanghai.
you_are_no_diva 24th-Feb-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
If you're going to HK, then I recommend to take a day or two to visit Macao. It's a very beautiful place that's only a hour ferry ride away.
deathbytamarind 24th-Feb-2012 08:28 pm (UTC)
I spent three months in the Dominican Republic last year. I studied Spanish for a full year before I left, and I was still overwhelmed with everything for the first two months there.

I think it's just hard for anyone traveling to a new country and experiencing a new culture and language.
im_shellfish 23rd-Feb-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
Daniel Henney can get it all day, every day.
monster_mutt 23rd-Feb-2012 10:18 pm (UTC)

r4wrdinosaur 23rd-Feb-2012 09:27 pm (UTC)
This looks really good!! When does it come out?
trumpydoesmagic 23rd-Feb-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I don't even like romantic comedies but I might see this in theaters.
hotelmirana 23rd-Feb-2012 10:04 pm (UTC)
That drama has Hyun Bin AND Daniel Henney? Wtf I need to see this drama asap.
drownanddive 23rd-Feb-2012 10:06 pm (UTC)
It is REALLY good. With great music too. She is by Clazziquai and Farewell without Farewell are such good songs.
im_shellfish 23rd-Feb-2012 10:30 pm (UTC)
Yes! One of my all-time fave kdramas. Made me fall in love with Hyun Bin, and Daniel Henney is just SO GOOD to look at.
monster_mutt 24th-Feb-2012 08:50 pm (UTC)
Hyun Bin AND Daniel Henney

straykim 23rd-Feb-2012 10:18 pm (UTC)
Just rec some dramas at me. Honestly, I need to be entertained by something other than Dream High 2.
chihaya19 23rd-Feb-2012 10:42 pm (UTC)
guess i know what i'm watching after finishing Heartstrings!
wingslapped 23rd-Feb-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
Looks good. I hope it is released in my area.
lilyy 23rd-Feb-2012 09:31 pm (UTC)
