Singing In Beijing

Alan Paul's new memoir "Big In China" has been optioned for the screen says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story recounts Paul’s time in Beijing, where he relocated from suburban New Jersey with his family after his wife was named The Wall Street Journal's China bureau chief.



Becoming a stay-at-home dad, Paul spent hours exploring the city and struck up a friendship with a young guitar shop owner. Together they formed a blues quintet with two other Chinese musicians and an American Treasury representative to China.

The band took Beijing by storm.

Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock will produce the film which Reitman may helm

The search for a writer is currently underway
