a chinese honeymoon
will celebrate its 750th performance at the strand theatre to - night, and if present appearances are to be taken as a forecast of its future fate it will live to enjoy a silver wedding .
honeymoon is not a traditional practice of the chinese. in the old days, women were not given such luxury as going to travel with the husband. new brides would be starting their training by the mother in law during this
honeymoon
period. therefore only modernized chinese couples would adopt the western influences and go on honeymoon and do the romans do. the difference lies in the adaptation and how far they want to catch up with the jones .

although the strand theatre has witnessed many long runs within its walls, none of them endured for the length of time that

a chinese honeymoon
is quite up - to - date and as amusing as when it started on its successful career. several new items and songs have been introduced from time to time, and one of the new ideas which has caused considerable amusement is an original pantomime by miss marie dainton and mr. farren soutar, during which the audience is treated to some excellent imitations of leading actors and actresses, including sir henry irving, mr. hayden coffin, miss edna may, miss connie ediss, dan leno, and marie lloyd .

etc. ; and later, people passing down the strand can hear more yells when the henpecked and worried pineapple sings of a dream he had of a happy land where woman was a small affair, and man was lord and master .
a chinese honeymoon is a musical comedy in two acts by george dance, with music by howard talbot and additional music by ivan caryll and others, and additional lyrics by harry greenbank and others. the piece opened at the theatre royal in hanley, england, on 16 october 1899 and then toured extensively. after that, it played at the royal strand theatre in london, managed by frank curzon, opening on 5 october 1901 for an astonishing run of 1, 075 performances .
tells of two colleagues at a marriage arrangement company who hide their ulterior motives to end an engagement by crashing its celebratory cruise. the other actors who form the love quadrilateral are chinese actress shi yufei and taiwanese actor wallace huo .
in yet another collaboration between korean and chinese film talents, actors kwon sangwoo and zhang yuqi started filming for their new movie honey enemy (情敵蜜月) earlier this month on jeju island .
then another law is conveniently introduced, by which a royal princess once supposed to be dead, is allowed, when animation is restored, to cancel all obligations. thus, soo - soo wakes up, repudiates her marriage with pineapple, and offers her hand and heart to tom ;
empy
is claimed in marriage by the
official mother - in - law
; pineapple is restored to the arms of his lovely bride, and a chinese honeymoon ends, as it began, happily .
the action of the piece is as whimsical as chinese things are usually expected to be. the story of the libretto, to start with, is based on an imaginary chinese law, by which it is enacted that if a
he
and a
her
are discovered kissing each other, in public, the osculatory couple must marry within a few hours. the opening scene is ylang ylang - a picturesque and very free - and - easy sort of chinese port. here the young englishman, tom hatherton, who has resigned his commission in the army, is idling away his time by flirting, running up a bill a yard or so long, and waiting for his rich uncle, mr. pineapple, to send him a remittance to enable him to settle it. but tom has not only fallen into debt; he has fallen in love with a certain pretended singing girl, who is really soo - soo, the daughter of the emperor of ylang ylang. and now trouble - which to the looker - on means merriment - arrives in the person of mr. pineapple, who has lately been married, and who, curiously enough, chooses this same port for his honeymoon .

as musical comedies go nowadays ,
a chinese honeymoon
provides - and, after all, what else matters? - a bright and amusing entertainment. the lyrics of this two - year - old provincial importation may often border on imbecility - what, for instance, is the sense of such a vile phrase as
the a la girl ,

a pianist is supposed to play? still, mr. dance' s rhymes are generally passable, and form the groundwork of some delightfully rollicking concerted numbers. the music, again, which is mainly mr. howard talbot' s work, may not be very fresh or ambitious, still it is fluent and tuneful .
if the presumption that president zeman’s advisor on china is in fact a high - ranking intelligence officer of the pla is correct, then the activities of the current czech government – rather than beginning a new economic boom based on chinese investment – turn into a security threat undermining the czech position in the eu, with all the political and economic consequences this could bring .

the eu - china human rights dialogue is still taking place, and eu representatives do not avoid sensitive topics related to china’s so - called “domestic affairs, ” however toothless their protests usually prove to be. to mention just a few recent cases, the ec expressed concern over the crackdown on independent chinese lawyers in 2015 31 and the recent disappearance of five hong kong booksellers associated with the mighty current publishing house known to be publishing books unfavorable to the chinese communist party leadership. 32

the five hundredth performance on this stage of a chinese honeymoon was reached on monday, when a crowded audience received the piece with as much enthusiasm as though its merry action and bright music were quite fresh to them. the success of the production has been honestly earned. at the outset the principal parts were entrusted to experienced artists, whose humour was unforced, and the staging was remarkable for richness as well as taste. uninterrupted representation for 15 months has naturally led to a few changes in the cast, but the general performance of messrs. george dance and howard talbot' s diverting musical piece is as smart and efficient as ever .

this “unofficial status, ” of course, means that tvrdík is not obliged to go through the security clearance procedure carried out by the national security authority (národní bezpečnostní úřad, nbú) 11 which is required for a regular position on the pm’s staff. this calls to mind the strategy president zeman employed in the case of his controversial adviser for russia, martin nejedlý. 12 however, prc’s authorities do not care about such details and not only respect tvrdík as the czech pm’s advisor, but also recognize him as a representative of the czech government in all sorts of official negotiations on matters of mutual interest, as is revealed in the chinese official media. tvrdík’s expertise in china - related matters does not have a long history. it started with his involvement in the czech - china friendship association, for which he has served as supervisory board chairman since at least 2012. 13 later tvrdík became involved in the mixed czech - chinese chamber. he currently occupies the highest positions in all these organizations, and in the chinese media these are regularly mentioned during his negotiations with chinese partners as equally important. 14

best of all, the plot, though owing much to mr. gilbert and others, is a good plot, ingeniously complicated, well sustained, and consistently diverting. starting, therefore, with a sound basis of fun, assisted by a background of picturesque scenery and elaborately pretty costumes, the three leading comedians engaged for this production find no difficulty in keeping their audience good - tempered. mr. lionel rignold is not new to the role of a closely watched, because gay, middle - aged husband; but the author has varied his conventional type' s conventional embarassments by making poor mr. pineapple attended on his (chinese) honeymoon by a bodyguard of his wife' s young sisters and forced to marry an emperor' s charming niece while his own bride is carried off by the majestic potentate .
however, the eu argument in support of our recent china - oriented policy does not take into consideration the complex relationship and sometimes tough ongoing negotiations between the european commission and china on issues of both shared values (human rights and the rule of law) and trade and economic exchange (lack of transparency on the chinese side, widespread violations of intellectual property rights, various government measures discriminating against foreign companies in china, a strong degree of government intervention in the economy resulting in a dominant position for state - owned enterprises, and chinese circumvention via third countries being the most important ones) .
assuredly the good old days have returned at the strand theatre. since november last it has been difficult to get seats there at short notice. go down to the theatre five minutes before the curtain goes up and the manager will tell you with beaming face, that
there' s not a seat in the house, sir !
of course he means there is not one vacant, but - no matter. you can get seats; but the best, at any rate, are booked in advance. to come to the point - which in this instance is the play - commend me for a solid three hours' merriment to the breezy, wheezy, chinesy entertainment called a chinese honeymoon .
soon, he became an overnight media celebrity on the radio and a mean - spirited demagogue on a memphis tv show .
the private business interests behind czech politicians’ accommodation of china are visible as well. during his state visit to china in october 2014, miloš zeman brought with him a number of businessmen, including petr kellner, a representative of the ppf financial group originally primarily connected to václav klaus. as a result, a new blossoming of czech - chinese relations began with a license for ppf’s home credit, a multi - channel provider of consumer finance, to begin operations in china. after the state visit, kellner flew president zeman back to prague on his private jet plane, which aroused understandable outrage in the media. 7
neither as purposefully spooky nor as inadvertently campy as the low - budget ’50s sci - fiers it often recalls, “honeymoon” is the sort of flat and forgettable genre exercise that fills holes in vod schedules after, or during, fleeting theatrical playdates. the sole novelty in this otherwise unexceptional indie is its relatively serious treatment of a plot device [ … ]
at the moment, the english name of the movie has been called both honey enemy by its production, and honeymoon with the enemy through kwon sangwoo’s social media messages. to stay consistent with the marketing from honey enemy’s official weibo account, we will refer to the film as honey enemy only .

though big sister is overjoyed to have all eyes on her. this is the last we see of big sister, as she joyfully leaves for her honeymoon .
here and there, “honeymoon” suggests a symbolic intent, hinting that the “invasion of the body snatchers” - style plot may be an allegory for the rude surprises in store for people who only think they know each other before joining hands in marriage. in a similar vein, those inclined to parse even junky b - movies for feminist subtext may read paul’s reaction to bea’s excretions as typical of unenlightened male responses to certain facts of female life .
but cefc’s acquisitions also have a strategic dimension. its presence in the media group allows the chinese investors access to the television channel barrandov and the popular weekly týden, which gives them an easy and discreet opportunity to influence czech public opinion. 25 commentators also say that through the travel service, cefc is gaining control over czech airlines. 26

cagney donned a sailor' s suit and tap shoes to sing and dance the story of a sailor searching for his lost love in what most astute viewers realized was a brothel and opium den. when he finds her - - ruby keeler masquerading as a chinese girl - - they joyously tap dance on the bar before getting caught in a full - scale brawl with 150 sailors and chorus girls. during the fight scene one chorus girl accidentally walked into a fist and ended up unconscious under one of the tables (the same dancer, years later, would marry mgm studio head louis b. mayer). featured briefly in the sequence are a young john garfield (five years before signing a warners contract; he did extra work as a sailor briefly seen peeking over a barrel during the fight) and then - unknown chorus girls ann sothern and dorothy lamour. but the scene was cagney' s all the way. when the film opened, a reporter from the trade paper
he wrote, for a time, at the morris - jumel mansion, which washington once used as a headquarters during the revolutionary war .
to sum up, czech policy toward china has recently been formulated and even implemented with the help of two advisors who are at the same time involved in the top management of one powerful chinese company – cefc – and in organizations financially supported by this company – the mixed chamber and china investment forum. such close ties between top politicians and any business entity would be scandalous. in this case, the situation is even worse due to indications that the company is subject to direct control by chinese intelligence services, and most probably serves as a tool in china’s political warfare.

but, really, 1958’s “i married a monster from outer space” is far worthier of such analysis. “honeymoon, ” in stark contrast, is as insubstantial as it is unremarkable. the dialogue is flat, the pacing is lethargic, the acting is unexceptional — neither the leads nor supporting players ben huber and hanna brown bring much to the table — and the production values are no better than they have to be .

in casting mr. langella, the producers of'' amadeus'' have brought about a small coup: he is a box - office name, a mindful consideration when almost all broadway producers speak about the difficulty of doing a straight play without a box - office name. moreover, mr. langella has credentials as an actor. he won a tony when he made his broadway debut in edward albee' s'' seascape'' in 1975, and he won a tony nomination for'' dracula'' in 1977. before and after those productions, there were movies, including a film of'' dracula,'' and a distinguished career off broadway .

miss louie freear' s fi fi is one of those original assumptions that live in the memory. it is exceptionally funny and full of spirit, but even in the extravagant phases there is a clearness of method demonstrating that every point in the droll impersonation has been carefully thought out in order to secure accurate balance of effect. the two eccentric songs with which miss freear made such a hit when a chinese honeymoon was new are still invariably encored. another very attractive performance is miss marie dainton' s mrs. pineapple, in which the actress' s talent as vocalist, dancer, and mimic is conspicuous. her duet with mr. farren soutar ,

cefc is well known in taiwan, where the people involved with this company are nicknamed jiefangjun shangren (businessmen from the people’s liberation army). this connection is particularly alarming given the close relationship between cefc and top czech politicians, and indeed the security information service (bis) in its 2014 annual report mentioned the activities of chinese citizens in the czech republic as a potential security risk. 29

czech politicians have dismissed such warnings and kept their chinese advisors and associates, promoting along with them the idea of prague as the door for china to enter europe. the usual argument is that this is helpful for the czech economy, and that it does, after all, conform to the eu strategic partnership with china. 30

neither as purposefully spooky nor as inadvertently campy as the low - budget ’50s sci - fiers it often recalls, “honeymoon” is the sort of flat and forgettable genre exercise that fills holes in vod schedules after, or during, fleeting theatrical playdates. the sole novelty in this otherwise unexceptional indie is its relatively serious treatment of a plot device — extraterrestrials struggling to master and remember human lingo while passing as earthlings — usually played for easy laughs. unfortunately, that’s not nearly enough to alleviate the tedium .
i am an avid horror fan, it is by far my favorite genre. i like all kinds of horror and don' t mind slow paced films at all. however
honeymoon
was a pretty big letdown. from the trailer and reviews and i was pretty excited to give this a watch, but boy did it fall flat. the story starts out fairly generic, a couple goes to a cabin in the woods. it quickly turns into something else entirely, and that
something
else really isn' t that great. the parts that were obviously suppose to be tense and creepy just didn' t do it for me, and the story didn' t have much to offer so i just found myself wanting to know what was going on so i could just be done with it. the acting is by far this movies strong point. the small cast does an excellent job, even though the script is fairly poor. i feel like as horror fans we are so desperate for new horror we often grasp onto not so good films and try to convince ourselves that they are great. people are praising
honeymoon
but i' m not entirely sure why, it really just isn' t a good movie. 4 / 10

should certainly prove a success. apart from the principals, good work comes more particularly from handsome miss beatrice edwardes and a certain mr. leslie stills, who made a very acceptable couple of sentimental toasts, and from mr. picton roxborough, surely one of the most imposing figures of our stage, who enacts the eccontric emperor (he would be married for love if you please), with an ease of style, a blandness of voice and manner, and a quiet refinement altogether exceptional .

if you can' t sit through a relatively slow - paced movie without losing interest and wanting to play angry birds, this might not be the film for you. if however you do have an adult attention span and aren' t afraid to engage it, this film will reward your patience many times over. utilising a vanishingly small cast remarkably well, the film relies on the believability of the dialogue and the fine acting of the two main characters to draw you ever closer into their seemingly idyllic world. i won' t go into any specific detail, but it is a technique that pays off as things become more and more unsettling and a real sense of wrongness begins to pervade what was supposed to be a perfect romantic getaway in the woods. the film successfully ratchets up the tension over the runtime of 87 minutes, and despite a pretty slow start, delivers a lot by the time of the final credits, leaving you feeling genuinely creeped - out and not entirely sure of what you just witnessed. honeymoon is that rare beast, a genuinely well - crafted horror movie. the dialogue is genuinely solid, the acting is good, but it' s the perfect pacing that really makes this a must - see for any avid horror fans .
president zeman must be aware of at least some of these questions, because he kept this nomination secret from the czech media until the press conference held in shanghai during his official visit to china in september 2015, i. e. for more than a year after the official nomination. the chinese media reported on ye jianming’s position in zeman’s office immediately and in some detail. according to tengxun xinwen, the nomination ceremony was held in shanghai on april 2014. 15

on this occasion zeman was represented by his chancellor vratislav mynář. martin nejedlý, referred to by the chinese journalists as zeman’s “chief advisor, ” was present as well. both men arouse controversies in the czech republic due to suspicions of contacts with russian intelligence, as well as the shadowy sources of their property and power relations networks. mynář, who – unlike nejedlý – holds an official position in the presidential office, recently failed a security check by the national security authority. 16
