Beijing Perfect World to Conclude Formal Contract with CFGC

BEIJING, Sept. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Beijing Perfect World Co., Ltd. agreed a formal cooperation contract with CFGC concerning both the 3D MMORPG called "The War of the Red Cliff," which will be launched in the fourth quarter by Beijing Perfect World, and the cognominal film shot by reclaimed director John Woo.

There is no doubt that the film, with its focus on the history surrounding the three kingdoms era, will be a big hit with the majority of film goers, as well as three kingdoms fans, especially since multiple well- known celebrities from all over China are involved in the production, including Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshivo, Chen Chang, Fengyi Zhang, Jun Hu, Dawei Tong, Chiling, and Vicki.

Gamers are constantly raising their expectations in regards to the online- game version of "the War of the Red Cliff," Beijing Perfect World's second large-scale MMORPG in 2007, since the Company's first announcement about it.

Meanwhile, the formal publishing number has been promulgated by the General Administration of Press & Publication of the PRC, and the relative works on R&D are in positive processes.

In terms of the cooperation and contract signing, Zhu Qi, vice president of Beijing Perfect World, revealed, "The Company has made every effort to bring the whole world excellent online games that stay true to traditional Chinese culture. This principle will be used in the newly produced game "the War of the Red Cliff".
