Online Concert Record
A weekend concert by Hong Kong acting and singing superstar Andy Lau Tak-wah attracted a record-breaking 350 million viewers on Douyin, the mainland Chinese sister company of TikTok. The concert ran for two hours and attracted 100 million viewers in the first 30 minutes, with tens of millions more joining by the end. The figures beat Lau’s own previous record on the platform, which he set in July last year at a concert to celebrate his 40 years in the business. The South China Morning Post said the record numbers were swelled by a recent wave of nostalgia for Canto-pop or Cantonese-language contemporary music, though the paper also noted that Lau also performed a couple of Mandarin-language classics.

“John Wick” director Chad Stahelski will take his love of assassin films to Warner Bros. as director and producer of the action film “Shibumi,” which now has “Operation Finale” screenwriter Matthew Orton attached to pen the script.
Orton will adapt the script from the 1979 novel of the same name written by Rodney William Whitaker under the pen name Trevanian. It follows the skilled, multilingual assassin Nicholai Hel, who is trained in the “Naked/Kill” technique that involves killing targets with ordinary objects. The novel follows his deadly missions for American intelligence and his quiet retired life in France, all before he is asked to help take down the Mother Company, a shadowy collective that holds control over the world’s energy supply.
Stahelski will produce with Alex Young and Jason Spitz through his 87Eleven production company. The filmmaker, who last year appeared in Warner’s “The Matrix Resurrections,” is also...
