We just saw the movie Club Zeus, starring Zheng Qi and Ray Zhao, by the Dutch director David Verbeek. A nice movie if you want to get know more about the life of hostboys. Hostboys are 'pretty boys' who are working in clubs to entertain, give attention and 'love' to women. The story is about two hostboys in Shanghai. Leonardo is a shy hostboy who looks up to his friend, another hostboy, Sly, because he's one of the best in town. The movie shows how they work in this industry. Even though they're surrounded by many women every day, hosting makes them lonely. They can't expect to get real love from women.....
Club Zeus is a low budget movie. And you can see that, crappy make-up haha. Yet, the filming was done very well, with beautiful images of Shanghai. A big plus is the fact that it was filmed in ten days! How the...what the...?? Well done, we're proud of our Dutch director!
Want to know more about this industry? Watch the documentary The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief.
