[2011.06.30] TAKESHI KANESHIRO GETS LUCKY

The Peter Chan Ho Sun directed WU XIA two nights ago held its Beijing premiere. Leads Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), Tang Wei, Wai Ying Hung, Li Xiaoran, Jiang Wu and others attended. ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN Jimmy Wang Yu was still recovering in Taiwan and did not attend. Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and Cissy Wang also came in support of their husbands. Tang Wei and Gum Sing Mo did not have their significant others' support did not have to worry about being lonely. Tang Wei's "son" came from faraway Yunnan to see her, which moved her to tears. Gum Sing Mo was lucky as he was with Kwan Yu and his on screen wife Li Xiaoran.

Many Mainland actors also attended in support, including BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING)'s Chris Li Yuchu and Wang Xueqi, as well as Gao Yuanyuan, Yolanda Yuan Quan and Li Xiaolu. Chan Ho Sun said that Big Brother Wang Yu had nothing to do in Taiwan and was not at ease, like a child he could not sit still as he kept asking him if he needed help with the promotion. However everyone would like him to take care of his health first so hopefully he would be able to attend the July 26 Hong Kong premiere. Gum Sing Mo's character in the film had the humorous shadow of Stephen Chow Sing Chi, who out of the blue would make you laugh, and opened the eyes of many.

In addition, WU XIA yesterday held its Shanghai premiere press conference. The media that have seen the film in advance said that in WU XIA, Yen Chi Tan and Gum Sing Mo's scenes together were excessively ambiguous and had a "Brokeback" feel. Yen Chi Tan followed up and urged Chan Ho Sun to make BROKEBACK SWORDSMAN with him.
