Telephone 601 (第601個電話) is a 2006 film out of China. It stars Cecilia Cheung, Bibi Chou and Hu Ge.
Cecilia Cheung plays a pop star name Tian. Bibi Chou as Yi Shu plays a worker in a ad agency with extremely bad luck. Hu Ge as Xiou Wen plays a sick song writer with seemingly only a little time left to live.
Yi Shu's number is mistaken for that of pop star Tian. Tian's fan call the number in abundance. In a strange twist of events, Xiou Wen calls and texts Yi Shu and they strike up a friendship.
The movie is based in Shanghai and covers the life of a pop star. A office worker. A terminally ill person.
It's a sort of coming of age story for all 3. All their deficiencies are explored.
The movie is from 2006 and its 2009 now. Modern themed movies out of China still seem to be a few steps behind. But I have lots of faith in the industry there. Only if the people of China can support it via legit ticket and DVD sales.
On a sidenote, seems the Sony Ericsson sponsored the cell phones in the movie. I had one of the models listed and researched the other ones back in 2006. The following year the iPhone came out. The cell phone landscape has never been the same. Even though all those Sony Ericsson phones are super dope.
