The Big Screen Dreams of China’s Internet Movie Stars

ZHEJIANG, East China — Four years ago, Peng Yusi was a nondescript Beijing drifter who waited tables and sold gloves under a foot bridge to get by. Now he’s a star, with over 40 major movie roles under his belt. But there’s a catch: None of them have ever been shown in the cinema. Instead Peng — who’s best known as the zombie-fighting, ghost-busting sorcerer Yin Shisan in the first two films of the “Monk Comes Off the Mountain” series — has turned the internet into his stage. The first film, which shares its name with the series, had a puny 280,000-yuan (then $45,100) budget and was filmed over the course of a week. Nevertheless, it became an online hit when it was released in 2015, raking in 24 million yuan over the course of four months from users who pay per video. The series is an example of “online big movies,” a term coined in 2014 which refers to movies exclusively shown on video streaming sites — similar to Netflix- or Hulu-produced films in the United States.

Une musique narrative, raffinée qui sait s’affranchir des styles (jazz, pop/rock, classique ….). Après les albums « déambulations » et « prélude for a new world » ce troisième opus est la suite logique de ce voyage céleste dans notre imaginaire. Des compositions très inspirées où se mêlent souvenirs d’enfance et évènements plus récents. C’est avec ce regard curieux et interrogatif sur le monde et l’actualité que le pianiste trouve ses sujets d’inspirations ; La conquête spatiale avec « la navette Orion ne répond plus », les attentats de Paris « la danse des crayons » de Nice « une si belle journée d’été »,

Spotify plunged itself into the center of a sensitive, industry-wide debate last month when it announced that it was starting to ban certain artists from its first-party playlists on the grounds of ‘hateful conduct’. The controversial move saw the likes of R Kelly (pictured) and rapper XXXTentacion removed from major Spotify playlists – essentially due to allegations of serious misconduct in their personal lives. Spotify earned some praise for the move, but plenty of backlash. Those against the announcement including some of Spotify’s own senior executives – believed to include, according to reports, its global head of creator services Troy Carter. Today, Spotify has officially walked back the ‘hateful conduct’ policy, which is believed to have originally been the brainchild of its public affairs boss Jonathan Prince. However, the firm has stood by a provision, introduced at the same time, which will see music containing ‘hateful content’ – ie. lyrics which incite hate –
