Cannes-winning Chinese director Jiang Wen was reported "dead" due to a heart attack in Sept, 2014. Later, Yang Zhou Evening News contacted an insider in Beijing's showbiz and confirmed the news was false.

Beijing Bu Yi Le Hu Film Company, where Jiang entrusts his management, issued a statement to revoke the news. "Jiang Wen's health is in good condition. For those who maliciously spread false rumors, we retain all legal rights to seek justice," the statement read.
