Our photo series this week looks at some of the summer blockbusters set for China’s cinema screens in the next couple of months.
The brilliantly-named House of the Rising Sons follows the story of a young group of friends in ’70s Hong Kong who want to become rock ‘n’ roll stars, much to the dismay of their parents.

The film stars members of Taiwanese boyband GTM, along with Simon Yam and Kara Tai.
Here’s a trailer for it:
