SOCKED IN EXTREME COLD WATER FOR THREE HOURS

Louis Fan has always played a villain in movies these few years. In Future X Cops he was a cool machinery human, fighting with the future cop Andy several times.

In one scene, Andy kicked him on his chest continuously 26 times. Even the crew dared not take a second look! But this did not bother Fan at all, he said it was like scratching. This comment not only agitated Andy, instead it made Andy burst out shouting, "You have been training since young, you locked in the room for hours practicing, many sand bags were punctured by you, of course you would not mind my few kicks!"

This gets to show that Fan does not get his fame overnight, he has worked to build his iron body.

There are many fighting scenes in this movie, the most extreme can be said to be one when Fan had to be submerged in water that was close to zero degree for 3 hrs, to complete a scene that lasted only a few minutes. On this, the director had arranged for a stand-in for him, but he insisted of doing it himself.

In the water he was as agile, after filming, though his lips were blue he could still joked, “I am used to swimming in winter, this is a small matter, even 3 more hours is ok with me!"

She gave up hope after having waiting too long for her lover to return, so depressed that she became suicidal, she wanted to inhale gas or jumped from building, .. until sudden appearance of He Junxiang she then saw new dawn in her world.

The crazy acting was so exhausting, it took close to 6 hrs to film after so many NGs. The two were suspended in mid air throughout the night, flying to & fro. Especially so for Zhangli, who had to cry & perform dangerous stunt. She went up & down the wire many times. She was not even aware that her coat slipped off to the ground, everyone broke out in cold sweat for her. Until at the end when the action director passed her, she however thought her performance was not perfect & requested a retake. After a few hours of filming she was all pale. It was a most unforgettable experience for her as she has acrophobia, she had to cry all the time, it was very tough, she hopes the end result is prefect.

When asked who is his best partner after all these years, he replied, “Of course Andy Lau! The first time I work with him he is very nice to me, for a long time I have not worked with him, hope there is a chance soon!”

PITAYA PK FUTURE X COPS
LEON LAI ADMITS HE IS NOT AS HANDSOME AS ANDY

The movies played by 2 Heavenly Kings, LL & Andy will meet heads on in mainland China. Pitaya will be out on April 1, while Future Cops on March 30.

When asked to compare himself with Andy, said LL, “To compare who is more handsome, I cannot beat him, in this movie I have a bearded face, looking despondent, I was too heart-broken, my whole world was tumbled by hatred, only wanting to find out who had murdered my wife, I even lost the sense of basic life needs of shaving & changing clothes." But he is confident, as he had personally attempted in all the fierce fighting scenes, there were no advanced weapons as in Future X Cops, but real knives & guns.

On the battle in box offices, he said, " The audience anticipation with the movie is not on me alone, there are the director & other actors.” When asked if he is confident of beating Andy’s Future X Cops, he indicated, "I really do not wish to compare, but if the box office can overtake Future X Cops, by even a dollar, the crew will be delighted, as this shows acknowledgment of our hard work.”

Shaolin Temple, acted by Jacky Chan & Andy Lau, continues with filming in Zhejiang. A replica of the original temple in Song Shan has came to light recently. For the first time it was opened to media viewing. Emperor Group boss Albert Yang made a special visit to the site.

The new temple was built in 3 months by more than a hundred workers with more than ten million rmb, the actual area is about one third bigger than the original one. The director Benny Chan led reporters for a tour of the location, the halls, Da Siong Bao Tian & Heavenly Hall have a height of 9.9 m, there is an awe-inspiring statue of big Buddha weighing close to 10 tons. Jacky Chan praised, "Looks so magnificient! So realistic."

Andy in acting as a martial art monk has his hair shaved, Jacky Chan too harbored the intention to shave, but it clashes with another movie he is now acting, he has thus dropped the idea, said, "Actually I have shaved a little, but the set called me to stop, now the head is so Yeah. (Is it because of the hair commercial that you cannot shave?) Not because of that, there is no problem if it is due to shooting.”

After shooting with the small monks for 2 days, Jacky praised they are clever & cute, he too praised Nicholas Tse who during filming puts in his best, & is very persistant with his work, he likes his attitude a lot.

"I had worked with him in Police Story before, I already knew he is a very serious worker, (Is he like you in your younger days?) His brought-up & background in all ways are better than mine, during filming he has many people ‘on guard’.” Jacky indicated when not in HK what he concerns most is civilian, world matters, he does not read the tabloid gossips.

A group of the small monks were dancing at the site, it was actually a dance choreographed by Andy. Said Andy, “They imitated ‘Axe dance’ from the movie they watched, 'GongFu’ but felt so bored, so I taught them a new dance.”

Andy does not wish to wear a head gear in playing a monk, as this gives unrealistic feel. His role as a warlord has ended, after this he has no more worries, he can concentrate in playing the role as a martial art monk, does not need to worry about hair or wearing head gear.

The movie, Future X Cops, played by Andy & Barbie Xu has screen date postponed again & again, recently, a weekly magazine even pointed that because of investor backing off, the movie has a rotten tail.

Yesterday Wong Jin together with 2 representatives in charge of special effects held a press meet. Wong Jin clarifies that there is 1 to 2 percent truth in it, but 99 % is untrue. On investors backing off, Wong indicated that the concerned Mr Cai is one of the investors, he is now in BJ, he did not back off, & Wong had contacted him prior to this.

He pointed that there are 8 investors, his company is the biggest with 30%, Mr Cai is in charge of the later production work. He admitted that the party concerned has delayed providing fund by a little, but this has swiftly been settled.

Said, "We are listed company, there is no chance that we can have a rotten tail." But he admitted this investor indeed has some financial problems, another movie invested solely by it was put on hold, but this has not affected Future X Cops.

The movie has been confirmed to be out on March 30 country-wide in China. There is hardly any holidays in China, even a day of holiday is precious, the movie will meet others such as Pitaya, Crossing Hennessy 2010, Alice Adventure in Wonderland, they fought so vigorous for the date.

He added the report has affected the movie & its company, he reserves the right to prosecute.

Future X Cops, initially set for release during CNY, has pushed back screen date to April 15. There was a report yesterday saying the movie suffer setbacks one after another, it was said investors left prematurely leading to a lack of fund, & this has affected post production work. The movie was thus not in time for the golden slot during CNY. Wong Jin responded yesterday that he has confidence with the movie, & will give an answer in the near future.

At the promotion before, the movie was said to have an investment of US$20 million, it will be the biggest science fiction production ever in mainland China. The funds comes from 8 investors, Wong Jin’s own Mega-Vision Pictures Limited. China Films Group, Cai Song Lin’s Scholarship Global Multimedia Co., BJ Hualu, & others. Wong Jin not allowing any mistakes, has put in one year effort in making the movie, from preparation to shooting.

In an earlier interview, Andy had revealed that in paying gratitude to one of the bosses, Cai Song Lin, though he has not worked with Wong Jin for 10 years he took up the offer. He praised Wong Jin having put in a lot of effort, it is a movie unlike his previous work. However at the end stage of production due to lack of fund, the special effect has a rotten tail, affecting screen date.

Wong Jin through phone said that he is now in BJ, after he is back to HK he will give an answer day after tomorrow. Has he contacted Andy who is now shooting Shaolin in China? He said he has not, will he be affected by this negative news, he replied lightly, “I will not.” Does he has confidence with the quality of the movie, He gave a definitive answer, “Of course I have"

New Shaolin Temple has been named the most anticipated movie.

The movie, co-directed by Benny Chan, & Corey Yuen as the action director, has a strong cast of Andy Lau, Jacky Chan, Nicholas Tse, Fan Bingbing & others. Filming has started since January, though it is still at the beginning stage, it has been named by CCTV as the as one of the most anticipated Chinese movies in 2010, while January issue of America authoritative film magazine, Screen International, has made an elaborate introduction on the same movie, calling it one of the most anticipated movies in the Chinese area.

Soon after the start of filming, the close collaboration of Andy, Nicholas, Fan Bingbing, Yu Shaoqun, action director Corey Yuen improves by day, Nicholas Tse even steps up training, so as to prepare himself well in acting, to meet Andy’s Seven-star fist head-on.

Andy has earlier on learnt the martial art Seven-Star Fist, during filming he is very agile, in a series of fighting scenes, he handled them smoothly. He was so relaxed that he could even BBQ dried cuttlefish on the spot to entertain himself. Under the cold weather he made use of the heater as BBQ pit, the smell of BBQ cuttlefish made all the workers drooled, indeed very mischievous.

Nicholas Tse who has just joined the set wastes no time in learning martial art from director Yuen on the spot, they hope to create a set of his own gongfu, teased that by then he will not be afraid of Andy’s 7-star fist.

Recently CCTV made a special visit to the location shoot to interview director & Andy, who were both delighted to know the anticipation put on the movie.

International Screen has too shown interest with the movie, other than being attracted by the strong cast in front & behind the screen, the movie with Shaolin gongfu & zen metaphor, teaches one to do good deeds is a new positive theme for them.

It is coming to a month since camera rolled, they had met with snow storm, even then the progress is satisfactory. The actors get into the mood easily, Benny Chan is happy with their performance.

After CNY Jacky Chan who cameos in it has also joined the set.

To make the movie looking more realiastic, last year Benny & Yuan had gone to the temple to handpick a group of big & small wushu monks to join the cast, it will be real gongfu on the screen. The guest actors are mostly picked from students from the various acting schools in different provinces, indeed rigorous.

With the coming of CNY, he led a group of small monks to showcase the art, & wrote calligraphy to send new year greetings. The 5 monks aged from 5 to 12 on knowing they will have to take photos with their idol had their hair shaved clean & wore new clothes & shoes.

They were a little shy at first, after a while then they were able to exhibit the true talent. Andy wrote a calligraphy, ... Interestingly, when he asked them what else to write, one of them answer, "(Zhu)!" Andy was puzzled, "What, this is year of Tiger, why do you said Zhu (Pig)?" The monk actually meant Zhu Zhu or Wish which sounds the same as 'pig'

ANDY’S WAX FIGURE ATTRACTED MANY FANS AT NANJING ROAD

During the Lunar new year, a wax figure of Andy looking just like the real person was on display in a glass enclosure in Nanjing Road. Fans came one after another to have photo taken with the figure.

It was year of Ox last year, zodiac year when Andy was born, but he was a little unlucky, first because of the death of ZLQ’s father, he became the hot pursue of the media, later he was exposed to have secretly married ZLQ in 2008 in Las Vegas, of which he had to apologise profusely to his fans on the net.

After a long period of silence, everyone seems to have let the matter rest, he too becomes more relaxed. He was interview by HK magazine East Weekly recently, he quipped he has already given out many red packets, said, "Haha! Every year everybody asks from me! Thanks to the media, they have never thought that I do not had a wife, every time they ask for 2 packets!”

Close to half a century old, what he hops most now is to be healthy & able to take care of his family members. “At this stage of life, I should do something I can feel happy about!”

At his age, he has indeed kept himself well. When he ahs time he will call his friends for a game of bowling, "I also like to play basketball & volleyball, but at this age, there is not many people of the same age wanting to play basketball with you, but bowling there still are."

"I am a Hep B carrier, I have to control my diet, as the risk of having liver carcinoma is 20 to 30% more than the general population. I must do adequate exercises & avoid uncooked food. I also have hereditary high cholesterol, I go for body check up half-yearly. I have just done the check up this year. It is all ok, I control everything well."

He disclosed not only him, his whole family eat light food. "My father is already 86! Like him, I do not eat a lot, everyone of us takes half a bowl of rice, as my mother has diabetes, she also eats little. My whole family, steam fish & vegetable alone are enough for a meal. A sack of rice can last 4 to 5 months. "

He however has regrets, he had taken yogurt or sour milk & cereals crazily before, even up to 3 meals a day, later he found out that he has milk allergy, if he took a little more he has water retention & felt depressed, now he takes only soy milk, “I still feel sour milk is more tasty."

Wit the start of the new year, he is still as diligent as ever. Other than shooting Shaolin, he has to promote his new movie Future X Cops soon. But he is full of energy, he does not feel tired at all.

“On the average I take 6 weeks long holidays every year, sometime if there is not much work I also take off. I cannot say said I am not busy, I am just ordinarily busy. Basically I have quite a lot of time at home.” At home with ZLQ, what do they do? Just like most Hongkongers, their best entertainment is watching TVB's TV serials. All those with rave reviews he has watched them all. He also watches DVDS, including Stephen Chow’s movies.

"If u ask me if I have interest in shooting western movies, I can tell you it is impossible for me to be called to film big movies such as Million Dollar Baby. The roles they gave me will be all on fighting, Andy recalled that in 1992 when he signed up with Hollywood managerial company, "I was already Hollywood star then, even earlier than Jet Li & Jacky Chan. “ For 3 years almost every 3 months he had to fly to America to talk on the script, the other party spelled it out clearly to you, within 10 years there would be less than 5 movies for the Chinese. After so many years the better script from Hollywood was one by John Lone .

After that I quit signing up with Hollywood, but I continue to read the script they sent to me, they are all about the same, something to do with HK. Actually if the role is special, even supporting role is fine, most importantly is there is something I can enjoy, & get praise from others. It is not if others film I mist also film, & think that it is so grand to be in Hollywood!"

For him, acting at the beginning is an interest, later it became a job, now it reverts back to interest. “I signed up with TVb in 1981, it is going to be 30 years. Till today I still have a lot wanting to try. If you take work as part of your life, you will not lose interest to carry on."

Andy has already made preparation for his family members for the future! "I have calculated, I at this age, has already passed half of my life. Take it as u live to a hundred, the last 20 years of your life, u need others to take care of daily living, so, what I can really enjoy is these 20 years ahead of me, of course I have to do something that make me happy, If I like to act I will act, if I like to sing I will sing."

Andy disclosed that he has set up a family fund, to give himself & family members security. "I calculated, the amount is enough to last my family a whole life time, with the same quality of life as it is now. If I am not happy, I can stop work anytime, acting is no longer my job, I do not need it for a living, I do not have to think of retirement problem, all in all, as long as I am happy will do!"

Andy is always low-keyed with his love life, his cover-up marriage shook HK last year. On this matter, he admitted, “I can withstand all sort of pressures from anywhere, but for those I love & those who love me, for as long as they understand it is enough!"

"On this, the pressure faced by fans is greater. Such as the teachers will tell the students, "See Andy Lau is such as such!" But the students can retort, " But he admitted his mistakes!" So that the teacher can tell the students you must admit the mistake & correct it.

But he will not be open & tell many people,

"Have you ever seen me talk about it openly? No matter how the newspaper asked I will not answer, you want to beat me up? This is my character."

He admitted, up to now, he is still not ready to share with others the feelings on how he is as husband, or how he is preparing to be a father.

MILLION THANKS FOR LENDING A HAND, dear friends!

Andy, who has been known as a diligent ox, also came to send off the Ox and welcome the Tiger. He took the chance during his break from filming during CNY to cook for his family and took photos with a group of little monks to show 7 star fist to wish everyone a ferocious Tiger year ahead.

He's ready to help anyone in need because in this way everyone will live a warm life and happy. Every year on the 1st day of the Lunar New Year, Andy will cook a vegetarian meal for his parents. Andy says "I grew up a in village, every year we will light firecrackers. However now we have stopped it so instead we will play some friendly mahjong games. I lose some money but it brings joy to everyone, anyway the important is to be happy. 1st day of Lunar New Year, I will cook a vegetarian meal for everyone, this is the only day that I will cook! I will also tailor make a coat for the new year and wear it to serve tea to my parents. This year is no exception."A few days ago, he returned to Hong Kong to celebrate his new year with his family, parents & wife.

During filming someone asked "Is Andy handsome? Is great?" Each time each question was asked, the little monks all shouted in unison "Sweet, handsome, wonderful!" This tickled Andy so much he was laughing along.
