The much anticipated film of Director Zhang Yimou finally gets a release date in China after delaying for four years.

Returning recently with his best film in years, the wuxia epic Shadow, Zhang Yimou now has three new projects in various stages of production. There's his Cultural Revolution-era drama One Second, which was pulled from last year's Berlinale Film Festival at the last second likely due to Chinese censors and hasn't resurfaced. Then there's his crime drama Under the Light, the first trailer for which has now arrived, and the director is already planning to resume shooting on a new spy thriller Impasse, starring Zhang Yi and Zhu Yawen.

The story revolves around Su Jian Ming and Li Hui Lin jointly investigating an undercurrent criminal case involving a huge interest group. In order to investigate the case, Su Jian Ming ignores the persuasion of his powerful father Zheng Gang, and rushes to the "Hongmen Banquet", hosted by rich businessman Li Zhi Tian. More and more clues gradually surface. The undercurrent surging behind these clues makes people faintly feel that a big game of chess is being planned.
