This is a 7,200-hour and 6,100-km journey. The film "My Blueberry Nights" and iPart will look for the Blueberry Girls together and take them by the "Blueberry Bus" to start the 30-day free tour in China!
Recently, Director Wong Kar Wai brought his foreign language film "My Blueberry Nights" to China trying to attract worldwide attention. Many great stars such as Norah Jones, Jude Law and Natalie Portman are in the film. This is the first film in film history to be directed by a Chinese director and shown at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. Now the film is cooperating with the famous dating website iPart to plan the Blueberry Bus event and give financial support to girls who want to realize their dreams of becoming a Blueberry Girl. Blueberry Girls will travel 10 big Chinese cities, visit famous sites and rivers in China and all for free. In addition, they will experience the blueberry spirit of Norah Jones, the heroine of "My Blueberry Nights," of courageously seeking her dream.
Director Wong Kar Wai's cooperation partners are always the leaders of the times. Blueberry Girls will be selected by voting and will attend the premiere of "My Blueberry Nights," after seeking the dream for themselves and receiving the award from Norah Jones herself. After the news broke, many female netizens scrambled for the chance to apply and many film buffs also said they will try hard to win the chance to attend the opening ceremony.
Zhang Jiaming, CEO of iPart, noted that "My Blueberry Nights" is a romantic love and dating film and so its overall theme overlaps with iPart.
