Chinese film director Wang Xiaoshuai said the first time he'd ever directed action scenes, was during filming for his new film "Red Amesia."

"Puzzles are not solved till the end of the film. So there are such kinds of action scenes in the end. It's the first time that I have touched upon directing action scenes. It's rare that actions appear in my film. Action director and special staff in charge of wire joined the film at the end of shooting."

Wang attended a press conference for the film in Beijing, joined by a few stars of the film including Qin Hailu and Feng Yuanzheng.

The film tells story of Lao Deng who receives several strange phone calls, in which the caller does not speak. This makes Lao Deng feel as if she knows the stranger who could be associated to mysterious murders in the area.

She decides to go back to southwestern China's Guiyang to find answers. But the trip brings back memories and regrets from when she worked there years ago.

The film will compete for the Golden Lion award at this year's Venice Film Festival. It will also make its North American debut at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.

"Red Amnesia" will be released this year in China but the exact date has not been released.
