　　The 3D film The Taking of Tiger Mountain, which had a series of advanced screenings before its official Christmas Eve release, including one at Tsinghua, won thunderous applause from fans and critics for its vivid 3D visual effects and well-planned plots.

The movie, produced by Bona Film Group and directed by Tsui, is based on the bestselling novel Tracks in the Snowy Forest by Qu Bo.

"One day, big snow hit, the electrical power line broke, the hotel we stayed in lost heating, water-our cell phones even lost signals. We were just trapped there, "Huang Jianxin, the movie's producer said.

This memory inspired him to specially shoot and put a New York scene into the beginning of The Taking of Tiger Mountain.

"I just ask myself to make a good film and share it with all of you. "Hark Tsui said.
