abcdefg 4,417 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 This is admittedly a long shot and doesn't fully fit your description, but you might have a look at "Painted Skin" 画皮。It involves ghosts and magic (actually "fox spirits") and an exchange of bodies plus some elegant large colored tattoos. I've seen this film several times since it's popular in "re-run slots" on Chinese evening national TV (Channel 6.) It also has at least one sequel (maybe more) and it even gave rise to a TV series. The original was immensely popular, directed by Hong Kong's Gordon Chan 陈嘉上 and featured a star-studded cast: Donnie Yen as Pang Yong (龐勇) Zhou Xun as Xiaowei (小唯) Chen Kun as Wang Sheng (王生) Zhao Wei as Peirong (佩蓉) Sun Li as Xia Bing (夏冰) Qi Yuwu as Xiaoyi (小易) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painted_Skin_(2008_film) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr_k1m 1 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Thank you for your reply! Not the good movie but i appreciate the effort!=) i remember that if they kissed, she would disappear and go back into her world so they never did until the very last moment of her life. Also, needed to paint herself in color as she came from a black and white world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EnergyReaper 56 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 @Dr_k1m According to your description, I believe it's a 2018 Japanese movie Tonight, At Romance Theater. Its Chinese title is 今夜在浪漫剧场. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EnergyReaper 56 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I've just finished watching the movie. As a romantic fantasy, I think using the ending of his film script as the movie's ending is acceptable and not that sad. He and she go back to the black-and-white film world. He is as young as the first time he met her and she is still the beautiful and elegant princess. When he hands her a red rose, the film world suddenly becomes colorful. Finally, he can kiss his princess freely, and they are going to live forever happily in the colorful film world. @Dr_k1m I love this movie and its ending song. Thanks.
