Dragon Tiger Panacea: Danwei TV Choice Cuts

Today Danwei TV begins a new intiative to work with up-and-coming Chinese directors and showcase their films. Today we present a music video by Beijing's original new wave band New Pants: Dragon Tiger Panacea (龙虎人丹), the title track of their recently released album.



This video was directed by Liu Runlai (刘润来). It stars members of the band including guitarist Peng Lei, himself a film maker who just finished a B movie called Peking Monster (北海怪兽), which will soon be featured on Danwei TV. Peking Monster includes animation and live action, and was self-produced and self-funded.

Other members of the cast include Pang Kuan (庞宽), Liu Bao (刘葆), Iwatak (岩田高志), Louis Shi (石哲, Jia Ting (贾婷) and Tiger (大虎).

Comments on Dragon Tiger Panacea: Danwei TV Choice Cuts

These guys are weird and disgusting!

any chance you could rewrite the subtitles across it bigger? Youtube's quality makes them too hard to read for us poor half-literates (the words are almost unintelligible anyway), or at least provide a transcript.

haha, I didn't think you could do THAT at the Beijing Bell Tower! I liked the vid, especially when the action moved inside the discotheque... yet the end is a little off-side on the morals... looking forward to the next vid!

hahaha... that was golden!

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas.
+ Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet.
+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
