When in 1935 Mei LanFang performed in the former USSR he changed the theatrical point of view of the most important creators of that land. Eisenstein, among those creators amazed by this Chinese Star and crazy about excentric moments and people in history, decided to take advantage of Mei LanFang visit and asked him for a special session of filming on March 29th, 1935; the result was 5 minutes of film Mei LanFang performing his Beijing Opera new style; although the film projected by Einsentein never was finished, it is an invaluable visual material.
