一个馒头引发的血案 (A Murder Caused By Mantou / yi ge mantou yinfa de xuean) was a Chinese parody video created by Hu Ge after he had watched Chen Kaige’s The Promise. Widely panned, the movie inspired an irate Hu to dub over all the dialogue and remix the period drama into a modern-day farce. It was posted online and received millions of hits, despite Chen threatening legal action. This touched off a wave of support from Mantou (a Chinese steamed bun) fans who supported Hu. In the end, after suffering a wave of negative publicity, Chen decided not to sue. For more about Chen and his film partner Zhang Yimou, see China Pop.
