[2011.04.21] STEPHEN CHOW PASSES INSPECTION

In recent years, many film and television series had time travel as its subject. The Mainland inevitably had exactly the same work that promoted superstition, fate and reincarnation. Reportedly the State Administration for Radio, Film and Television earlier issued an notice that after February, nearly 30 time traveling projects were rejected. Yesterday rumors from the Mainland said that four great classics DREAM OF THE RED CHAMBER, ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS, WATER MARGIN and JOURNEY TO THE WEST have become off limits to prevent film and television work to twist the subjects around, like turning the Red Chamber into a brothel and Piggy falling for the Veritable Monk Tang.

The new policy reminded people of the yet to start production Stephen Chow Sing Chi production CHINESE ODYSSEY. Star Overseas said that the film has already passed inspection so it should not be affected. The Donnie Yen Chi Tan starred THE LOST BLADESMAN (GUAN WON CHEUNG) and the Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin starred time traveling film GIM HUP CHING YUEN (SWORDSMAN ROMANCE) all successfully caught the last train!

Yen Chi Tan said, "The four great classics contain Chinese culture that many Chinese people are familiar with. Turning them into movies can spread Chinese culture. I hope it's not true, otherwise it would be quite regrettable." Reportedly Raymond Wong Pak Ming was interested in making LAM CHUNG JUEN (LAM CHUNG LEGEND). Wong Pak Ming said, "LAM hasn't even been prepared, but I heard the subject restriction only applies to television series. It should have nothing to do with movies."
