Three young people with no previous acting experience will star in seven short films directed by some of the most famous actors in China.
The newcomers to the industry got the chance by winning an acting contest held by Sohu.com, which sponsors seven A-list actors to direct their own films.
The seven new directors include Liu Ye, star of Zhang Yimou's Curse of the Golden Flower, and Huang Bo, a beloved comedian. The finished works will be shown on the video channel of Sohu.com.
