"The Great Wall" wins China's Razzies new category


23 Mar - Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" was such a frustration for the mainland viewers that the Golden Broom Awards decided to create a new category just for the movie.

As reported on Sina News, the Golden Broom Awards, which 'honours' the worst Chinese films of the year, held its awards ceremony on 19 March.

Aside from the usual categories such as Most Disappointing Films (won by "From Macau to Vegas 3", "League of Gods", and See You Tomorrow") as well as and Most Disappointing Actor (Kris Wu), it gave "The Great Wall" a new title - Most Heartbreaking Film of the Year.

The movie, which was released in China late last year, was considered a failure both at the box office and among critics, with most consider it "neither exciting nor entertaining" and "Zhang Yimou's worst movie".

On the other hand, its lead actress Jing Tian was also named Most Disappointing Actress through her role in the movie.
