The Wang Leehom (Wong Lik Won) directed film LOVE IN DISGUISE two nights ago held its premiere in Taiwan. Aside from cast members Chen Han-Tien and Lang Cho-Kwan, Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun), May Day, Doze Niu Chen-Zer, Mavis Fan Hiu Huen and others also showed the support. Wang Leehom and Chow Kit Lun both made the jump from in front to behind the cameras. They would not see each other as "potential rivals" and would only "know and respect each other".
This film was the first that Wong Lik Won directed. As for the new film box office, Wong Lik Won expressed that of course the more the better. If it would be able to break 100 million that would be even better. Then he would celebrate by jumping into the river. All his fans were willing to jump with him. Wong Lik Won and Chow Kit Lun both were music geniuses. Chairman Chou three years ago directed his first film SECRET (BUT NUNG SHUET DIK BEI MUK), which was a commercial and critical hit. Wong Lik Won's new film LOVE IN DISGUISE was also a love story, but LOVE added even more comedy elements. Wong Lik Won stated that the film inspiration came from Eddie Murphy's COMING TO AMERICA. He liked this type of the story that only the audience knew about the lead's true identity, like THE BUTTERFLY LOVERS (LEUNG SAN BAK YU JOOK YING TOI).
He stated that his movie was a disguise movie. No one has seen his in costume and played a comedy. Since he still has not been typecast of course he had to be brave and try. The audience through this character could see the star's "real side", but he pointed out that it absolutely
was not a reflection of himself. The loyal Chairman Chou also supported him to the end. Speaking of Chairman Chou's statement earlier that if his work did not sell he would retire at 35. Wong Lik Won said, "It's impossible, that day will never happen!"
