[2011.08.13] WILLIAM CHAN CHERISHES COLLABORATION WITH SIQIN GAOWA

The Hong Kong female director Casey Chan Lai Ying directed 3D live action film NG HUNG GUNG LUEK (FIVE ELEMENT INVASION STRATEGY) yesterday held a press conference in Beijing. Attendees included William Chan Wai Ting, Zhao Ke, Li Feier and Lau Siu Ming. Siqin Gowa who originally agreed to attend was absent last minute due to an emergency at home. William felt concerned instead of regret for her. "I didn't think it was regrettable, I only want the rain to pass for a sooner sunny day for her."

William was very glad to be able to be a part of the film. He said, "This movie brought many first times for me, including my first 3D film, first Mainland film. I really cherish this chance to work with Siqin Gaowa, which truly was memorable for a lifetime." William this time played a wrestler and had to fight from the beginning to the end. Aside from fighting he also had many emotional scenes. Because his character had a personality split, he was a foot massage therapist, a woman's wrestling team manager, and finally he became a real wrestler. The film now has completed its shoot in Inner Mongolia. Later it will shoot in Hong Kong and Japan. William said that earlier he learned wrestling and horse riding while shooting the film. Later when he will shoot in Hong Kong he hoped to continue to have a coach on hand for guidance; the film will open early next year.
