Agent to be quizzed as Zhang Yimou 鈥榤issing鈥
Print Edition
Authorities will question the agent of acclaimed film director Zhang Yimou after the director went missing following allegations he had fathered seven children, a breach of China’s one-child policy, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
The agent for Zhang, the director of epics “Hero” and “House of Flying Daggers,” was summoned to the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi to answer allegations against him, Xinhua said late on Friday, citing the local family planning bureau.
In May, online reports surfaced that Zhang, who dazzled the world in 2008 with his Beijing Olympic opening ceremony, had at least seven children and could be liable for a 160 million yuan (US$26 million) fine, Xinhua said.
The report gave no further details about the case.
Authorities said this month they were unable to locate Zhang and had dispatched teams to track down the director and his wife Chen Ting.
The Wuxi family planning commission “has done everything possible to contact Zhang and Chen and dispatched a work team that rushed to Beijing to look for Zhang, but there were no results, they could not find (him),” Xinhua said.
Zhang, 61, was one of China’s best-known film directors, having made his directorial debut in 1987 with “Red Sorghum.”
He has long being a subject of tabloid gossip for alleged trysts with his actresses.
The government said last week that it would allow couples to have a second child if one of the parents was an only child. It was the most significant relaxation of its population control regime in nearly three decades.
