[2011.08.26] LIU YE FEELS FAMILIAR WITH LIU BANG

Famous director of KEKEXILI, CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH, Lu Chuan yesterday led his new film THE LAST SUPPER (WONG DIK SING YIN) actors Liu Ye, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Chang Chen and Huo Siyan for its first global press conference in Xiangshan film studio in Ningbo, Zhejiang. The location was one of the major locations of Liu Bang's palace.

Chang Chen who played Han Shin opened up the press conference. The host asked him about the production and he said that earlier he has already worked with Liu Ye and Ng Yin Cho. Due to their different personalities, the collaborations have been rather interesting and the production process has been pleasant. As for working together again, he honestly said that they were all a different. "Ultimately it has been so many years, Liu Ye has a child, Ng Yin Cho is a husband with a family, both are more mature. However work wise we still have chemistry, privately our relationships are rather decent as well."

Ng Yin Cho who played the Chu King Xiang Yu brought Du Juan who played Consort Yu to the stage. Known as "Little Zhou Xun" Du Juan was still a new comer. She thanked Lu Chuan for giving her the chance to play Consort Yu. "I feel very lucky, over these few months I learned a lot. I learned to act with professionalism. All the co-stars are elders who are very glad to teach me." The final appearances were Liu Ye who played Liu Bang and Qin Lan who played Empress Lu. Some said that Liu Ye claimed to be very similar to Liu Bang, which he denied and added that perhaps because both their last names were Liu they had the same blood line. Thus he felt familiar. Liu Ye thought that the character was a huge challenge because he had to play it from youth to old age. The age difference gave his a little pressure that he needed to overcome during his performance.
