Hengdian (橫店) announced the closure of the city due to the challenges and threat posed by the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic. City officials have been confounded by the situation, and have taken drastic measures to combat the spread of the disease, which boasts a 99% communicability rate. Hengdian Film and Television City, known as China's Hollywood of the East have imposed a moratorium on film production, with no definitive date regarding when they can resume. A-list celebrities currently making movies such as Yang Mi and Zhao Liying have been forced to postpone their projects. Filmko Entertianment’s Donnie Yen-starrer Polar Rescue has also ceased shooting, producers saying they will continue by the end of 2020. Chinese dramas that have halted their filming include Wang Kai and Dong Zijian’s Like A Flowing River 2, Yang Mi’s Thank You Doctor and Zanilia Zhao and Wang Yibo’s The Legend Of Fei.
