The suspected reason behind the shocking cancellation of the $80 million Chinese epic 'The Eight Hundred' began to emerge on Saturday, just as the festival's opening ceremony was getting underway — without its opening movie.

's true "technical problems" were beginning to emerge. According to reports carried by several state-affiliated news outlets, the film first came under fire on July 9 during a meeting of the Chinese Red Culture Research Association, a Communist Party propaganda organization endorsed by the CPC's Publicity Department, the propaganda bureau that ominously took over oversight of the film industry from a more independent government body last year.

Among the participants of the July 9 propaganda meeting was Wang Lihua, a former general in the People's Liberation Army. "[This film] glorifies the fighting of the Nationalist Party, which seriously violates history," he reportedly said. "This deviates from historical materialism and should not be encouraged."
