Go Lala Go! is a 2010 Chinese romantic comedy film directed by Xu Jinglei. Film producer Patrick S. Cunningham collaborated with Xu Jinglei, and this film is considered one of the most successful collaborations between a Chinese director and American producer.
Go Lala Go! was about a Chinese woman in Beijing who learns how to balance a relationship and professional work in a work place.[1] It was directed by Xu Jinglei, who also stars as the title character. The film is based on a novel, Du Lala's Promotion, by Li Ke. Other actors in the film include Stanley Huang and Karen Mok.
The costumes for Go Lala Go! were designed by Patricia Field, which caused the South China Morning Post to make comparisons to the American television series, Sex in the City which was also costumed by Field.
Go Lala Go! was released to Mainland Chinese audiences on 15 April 2010, where it competed for ticket sales with the American remake, Clash of the Titans.[2]
After the success of "Go Lala Go!", Xu Jinglei directed another film Dear Enemy and co-starred with Stanley Huang again. The film is said to be like an updated and improved version of "Go Lala Go!"[3]
Patrick Frater of Variety called the film "a precursor to the current wave of Chinese contemporary romance films."[4]
A sequel, Go Lala Go 2, was released on 4 December 2015.[4]
