According to the novelist, China can have the high level technology from other countries, like Canada and the United States. And an international vision to make the movie more competitive abroad is needed.

The project will be developed for the international market as multiple English feature films, and the books will be published in English and presented at the New York Book Expo America.

The script of this movie is not finished yet, but the story is very large and it will be necessary to cut some unnecessary parts, Yue explained.

"I will keep in touch with the screenwriter John Collee," She added.

The production of the movie will be in the hands of Liming Ke (So Young and Tiny Times), Danny Bergeron (Jupiter Ascending, and X-Men: Days of Future Past) and Andrew Mason (The Matrix).

Cang Yue thinks that the emotions, affection and love among all the characters will touch the foreign audience like, for example, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Ang Lee.

"Even if we have a different culture, I would like to use this oriental style of love and emotion among characters and to touch western people's heart," she stressed.
