Movie Box Review

LEGEND OF THE FIST THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN (JING MO FUNG WON CHEN ZHEN) two nights ago held a box office celebration in Shanghai. Director Andrew Lau Wai Keung led stars Shu Qi, Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Huo Siyan, Ryu Kohota, Chen Jiajia and others in attendance.

Lau Wai Keung stated that in the first cut the ending actually had an additional 8 minutes of drama that explained Chen Zhen's personal inner conflict, but it was cut from the release. He hoped this ending would appear in the film sequel as the opening sequence. Shu Qi also hoped to continue to perform in the sequel, and romance the Yen Chi Tan played Chen Zhen once again. Shu Qi said, "Everything would depend on the script, hopefully the ending wouldn't be as sad as this time." Since the Mainland release of CONFESSION OF PAIN (SEUNG SING), Shu Qi's LOOK FOR A STAR (YAU LUNG HEI FUNG), IF YOU ARE THE ONE, BLOOD BROTHERS, CITY UNDER SIEGE (CHUEN SING GAI BEI) and other films were big hits in the Mainland. Shu Qi's personal cumulative box office in the Mainland was near 800 million yuan as Shu Qi became the target that film companies, directors and producers fought over. With a lucky star like Shu Qu, LEGEND OF THE FIST THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN had hope to witness Shu Qi's personal box office mark breaking 1 billion yuan.

Shu Qi since her first film has worked with Lau Wai Keung 11 times already. Shu Qi joked that Lau loved to yell at actresses, thus no one dared to work with him. Shu Qi also said, "He is very responsible to me, he wants big things for me." Then she called Lau Wai Keung "Papa". Meanwhile, Wong Chau Sun praised Shu Qi for her quality and being radiant in front of the camera. Shu Qi and Wong Chau Sun might appear in another story in the sequel, as Shu Qi might play Yoshiko Kawashima.

LEGEND OF THE FIST THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN (JING MO FUNG WON CHEN ZHEN) two nights ago held its global premiere at the Beijing Film Museum. Director Andrew Lau Wai Keung led actors Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Shu Qi, Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Huang Bo, Shawn Yue Man Lok, Huo Siyan, Ryu Kohata and Exile member Akira attended.

Shu Qi wore a short white dress and walked the red carpet in the arms of Chi Tan. The team after arriving in Beijing in the morning began to work. Due to the tight schedule, they have not eaten all day and was starving at the premiere. When they saw over 1,000 onlookers, they immediately became energized and excitedly appeared on the red carpet. Shu Qi and Chi Tan in the film played a couple with an awkward relationship. Shu Qi sighed that Chi Tan truly was a very nice man, unfortunately she was not his wife. Chi Tan looked embarrassed.

After the Beijing premiere, the film last night held its Shanghai premiere. The host brought out nunchukus for Wong Chau Sun and Huang Bo to plya with. Chau Sun looked convincing with them as he joked this was his god son Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun)'s Chou-chukus and revealed its secret, "Actually during the shoot I picked up a lot from Lau Wai Keung and Yen Chi Tan."

Shu Qi after the film shoot wished that she could marry a man like Yen Chi Tan. Yesterday another actress Huo Siyan also daringly admitted, "Big Brother Chi Tan is who I want to marry" and even praised Chi Tan as the "New Good Man". She said that she was envious of how great Chi Tan was to his wife and thought this was the man who she wanted to marry.
