Yang Mi was very satisfied with her look and very professionally pointed out that her costume mixed in Bohemian elements.  Actually the film's costume designers was the Oscar Best Costume Design award winning
famous Japanese designer Emi Wada.  In her first action film Yang Mi faced three action stars Zhao Wenzhou, Fan Siu Wong, To Yu-Hang and did not show any weakness.  She said, "Although I am the worst fighter, in the film they all face defeat in my hand."  The hardcore kung fu stars also showed their weakness.  Zhao Wenzhou praised Yang Mi's good figure and powerful moves; Fan Siu Wong even joked, "She is so pretty, with just a look she can make everyone yield."  After the Wudang mountain scenes, the team will head to Shanghai for a major shoot.  The film hopes to make a summer release next year.

The Wilson Yip Wai Shun directed all new remake of the classic film A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WON) will open on the 28th. Playing Yin Chet Ha in the film, Louis Koo Tin Lok's most memorable scene was when he had to catch 12 demons. Goo Jai said, "The director made me into a demon catcher. A professional demon catcher often had to be agile, unfortunately I successfully caught the demons but injured my leg." After the injury Goo Jai did not know how severe it was and kept going in pain. Then around dinner time, he saw his leg was both swollen and in pain, Louis Fan Siu Wong was worried that he injured his ligament and urged him to return to Hong Kong to see a doctor.

Because the film was in the middle of the production, it could only shoot more important scenes first so Goo Jai could rest. Unfortunately one of the important scenes made Goo Jai's injury even worse. The scene required Goo Jai to be tied to a tree. Goo Jai recalled, "At first I thought only my upper body was tied up so the injury would not be affected. However as soon as I moved my injured leg I would be sweating bullets from the pain. After the shoot when the workers carefully lowered me down, I was in so much pain that I was on my knees and could not stand up for a long time." The director gave him a few days off to return to Hong Kong for treatment.

[2010.08.30] LOUIS KOO IS INJURED TWICE IN TEN DAYS

courtesy of takungpao.com


The 10th China Changchun Film Festival closing ceremony and
award show took place two nights ago as the event presented 13 awards,
dual Best Actors and Best Actresses. THE BEAST STALKER (JING YUN)'s Nick
Cheung Ka Fai, BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING)'s Wang Xueqi
both won Best Actor; AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (SUM MOR)'s Wai Ying Hung and
MULAN's Vicki Zhao Wei both won Best Actress.

Liu Yifei two nights ago appeared with the new A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN YUN YAU WON) team at the award show. The team even held a press conference. She, director Wilson Yip Wai Shun, Yu Shaoqun, Wai Ying Hung and Louis Fan Siu Wong attended. "Yin Chet Hup" Louis Koo Tin Lok due to another injury was absent. That night Yip Wai Shun and cinematographer Arthur Wong Ngok Tai won Best Director and Best Cinematography, while the tree demon Siu Hung won Best Actress. They were well worth the 3 day production halt for the 300 people team.

According to Yip Wai Shun, the film has already completed all the shooting in the temple and most important scenes have been shot. The film will wrap in Shanghai in September and be locked in for a May Day release. Yu Shaoqun revealed that he will play a hero who saves a damsel in distress. Speaking of Koo Tin Lok's "stealing his love away", he joked, "Changchun truly is my lucky place. This time finally I don't have to fight with Koo Tin Lok. Of course I wish Big Brother Koo Tin Lok to get well soon and continue to fight with me to be this 'Little Three'." Reportedly the new version will turn the old version upside down and start all over, from an all new perspective it will look at and tell a romantic love story.

Koo Tin Lok on the eve of the award show injured his right leg during an action scene. Although after hospital examination his condition was not excessively severe, his right leg lost sensation once. To keep from impacting production progress, he still insisted on continuing the shoot. The film had many action scenes that were highly difficult, but Goo Jai insisted on personally performing many highly difficult stunt and against using a double. Thus he was injured twice in ten days.

In addition, Elanne Kong Yeuk Lam who attended her first Changchun Film Festival presented the Best Supporting Actress award. She praised Changchun's great air quality that felt very comfortable. She even turned into a fan and took pictures with elders. When Ka Fai and Siu Hung were announced to be the winners, she cheered excitedly for them. At the celebration, she did not forget to shake their hands to congratulate them and joked that she would like some of their luck to rub off on her. Next week she, Rainie Yang (Yeung Sing Lam) and Pang Shun will head to the Venice Film Festival for their 3D film CHILD'S EYE promotion.

Louis Koo Tin Lok, Yuen King Tan, Liu Yang and Leung Ka Yan two nights ago in Hengdian worked on the film DAI NOI MUK TAM LING LING GAU. In the scene Leung Ka Yan and Yuen King Tan tried to save the Emperor. Both swang on wires that were three to four stories high. Yuen Jai even wore an "iron bra" for comedy effect.

Was Yuen Jai afraid at such heights? She expressed that she was not as she has done it a decade or so ago. Was her salary higher for thewire work? Yuen Jai joked, "Wong Jing and I speak love and not money. Years ago Wong Jing already gave me a lot of breaks, so it's no big deal." In the film Yuen Jai played Big S (Barbie Hsu)'s mother and taught Big S how to pick up guys. She joked that after make up she looked like Little S. She and Law Kar Ying also had scenes together. Yuen Jai said, "I definitely will give him a hard time about getting marriage without a banquet. At least he could have treated us to dinner. (Did you get him agift? Blow him a kiss?) No, I will give surveillence equipment and watchhim for Ah Jeh (Liza Wang Ming Chuen)." As for the iron bra look, Yuen Jai joked that her buxom figure has been covered up. The Mainland had Influenza A cases, Yuen Jai expressed that at the airport she asked for medical masks but people claimed that the Mainland was safer. She had pork everyday because pork was cheap.

Liu Yang in the film played a guy and had romantic scenes with BigS. For the role she had to bandage her chest. She honestly said that itwas uncomfortable, once she was bandaged for over 30 hours. Would it impact her chest? She joked, "It's still here." She also had scenes with Goo Jai, who she praised as very charming and happy off camera as well. Currently she was not dating, reporters said that Goo Jai was not either. She just smiled. Did Goo Jai meet her criteria? She said, "I am looking for romance and feeling in a mate, I like to be a girlie girl." In the film she also had many fight scenes. Althoug hshe had six years of danceexperience, she had injuries all over her arm. Luckily Louis Fan Siu Wong took great care of her and was very nice. Did she feel Goo Jai or Fan Siu Wong was nicer? She said that they were completely different people. Goo Jai was too handsome, but still would give people a sense of security.

The Wong Jing directed, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and Louis Koo Tin Lok starred new film DAI NOI MUK TAM LING LING GAU is shooting in the Hengdian film and television base's "Forbidden City", a golden and regal set. Yesterday the media visited the set. Director Wong Jing led actors Koo Tin Lok, Ng Kwan Yu, Lee Kin Yan, Louis Fan Siu Wong, Song Jia, and Liu Yang to meet the reporters. Playing the Queen of the West Palace Kwan Yu was dressed in a palace costume while Goo Jai played an Imperial secret agent. During the photo shoot, Kwan Yu's head dress poked into Goo Jai's wig and needed the crew's help to untangle them. Comedy ensued both on and off camera.

Kwan Yu frankly said that playing the West Palace Queen was not easy because the costume including the head dress weighed over 20 pounds. Each time she needed over a hour to dress and the crown gave her a headache. In the film Kwan Yu would have fight scenes. She said over a decade ago she has already fought in the INSPECTOR WEARS SKIRTS (BA WONG FA) film series. This time she would fight ninjas behind a mask so she would have doubles. Recently the Mainland had an Influenza A case. Kwan Yu stated that she would worry on her flight. Originally she wanted to bring her daughter to visit the set but she cancelled in the end.

Koo Tin Lok did not take any special precaution against the flu. Usually after work he would return to the hotel to go online and rest. This time Goo Jai played the Imperial secret agent Ling Ling Gau. Would he be very similar to Stephen Chow Sing Chi's Ling Ling Fat? Goo Jai said that the character did not understand gong fu but invented robots. He also said that two days ago was Yu Fa Lee Kin Yan's birthday but on the set he had to abuse him. After the shoot the team brought a cake to celebrate and Yu Fa praised Brother Jing. Yu Fa was asked whether Brother Jing or Chow Sing Chi was nicer? He said, "Chow Sing Chi is nice too, without him I wouldn't be here today." As for anyone who has worked with Chow Sing Chi would be at odds with him, Yu Fa said that this business had no enemy.
