Vicki Zhao Wei (赵薇)

[lindal5953]

There are many possible projects curently in store for Vicki
1) THe movie mentioned above with Vicki, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun
2) the other will be direct by Tsui Hark with Vicki, Zhou Xun and possibly Jolin Tsai "Women are Not Bad" (direct translation)

Both these projects sound promising. It would be a first for Vicki to star with either Zhou Xun, Chen Kun or Jolin Tsai. Isn't Jolin a singer? Wonder if that role would involve some singing which would be something new for Vicki. I've liked Tsui Hark as a director, in particular, his Peking Opera Blues, which really got me into watching HK/Chinese films. It's an oldie but a goodie! Will have to wait for news. Thanks Bio.

组图：《赤壁》收官大战 佟大为赵薇生离死别

佟大为头靠赵薇肩膀

日前央视电影频道现场直播了古装大片《赤壁》的拍摄盛况，荧屏上梁朝伟、张震、胡军合力杀入曹营，再现了古 战场金戈铁马的壮烈场面，然而这并不是这部大片的“收官之战”，三天之后在同一片场烽烟再起，扮演曹兵千夫 长的佟大为经过血战后，“死”在了“恋人”赵薇的怀中，吴宇森用这伤感的一幕画上了影片中古战 争的休止符。

　　日前电影频道直播《赤壁》拍摄实况时，记者在片场从工作人员那里了解到，当天拍摄的孙刘联军攻打曹营， 虽然场面很大，主演几乎都披挂上阵，但并不是影片最后的大场面拍摄，该片的“收官大战”将在三天后进行拍摄 ，那一天的主角是赵薇和佟大为。因为《赤壁》已临近杀青，所以影片中所有演员都已经集合，集中拍完剩余的戏 份，需要补拍的也一次性拍完，预计影片11月底结束所有拍摄，影片最后的大场面表现的情节是佟大为和赵薇在 曹营各为其主，展开血战，最后佟大为“死”在赵薇的怀抱里。

　　到了计划中赵薇和佟大为拍摄的当天，记者再次长途驱车来到了《赤壁》建在易县安格庄水库的曹营大寨片场 。当记者在下午赶到时，在山头上远远看到曹营大寨里硝烟弥漫，杀声震天，一场“大战”拍摄正酣，但为了营造 战争的氛围，曹营大寨四周剧组制造出的烟雾掩住了拍摄的场面，只隐约看见扮演古代士兵的群众演员们枪来剑往 ，互相“厮杀”。记者走下山坡，巧妙地躲过了保安，混入了片场，临近片场记者看到，在群众演员的包围中有一 位年轻演员长身玉立，他身穿一套连环铠甲，外披一件臧青色的斗篷，头戴一顶方冠，虽然一脸烟火之色，但记者 还是马上认出他就是帅气的佟大为。迄今为止《赤壁》中所有主角的造型几乎全部曝光，唯独佟大为和小宋佳的造 型还没有示人，这是佟大为第一次以“古装青年”的形象出现在记者眼前。佟大为在赤壁中扮演的角色是个虚构的 人物，名叫孙书财，原来是一名下层士兵，因被曹操看中被提拔成一名千夫长，古装打扮的佟大为形象不仅俊朗， 而且很有一番古将之风，不禁令记者对从很少演过古装戏的佟大为在《赤壁》中的表演多出了几分期 待。

　　记者在片场看到在佟大为的铠甲上插着两支雕翎箭，显然剧中的情节是他已被利箭射中，但仍力战不休，不一 会儿挽着发髻，身披一件土黄色披风的赵薇突然跑到了佟大为的身前，佟大为一见赵薇终于支持不住，一下子跪在 了赵薇面前，赵薇也跪了下来，抱住了佟大为，佟大为把头靠在了赵薇的肩膀上，慢慢地闭上了眼睛，“死”在了 情人的怀抱里，在这一场戏的表演中佟大为的表演自然、真挚而感人。据媒体报道，在《赤壁》中佟大为和赵薇有 一段特殊的恋情，佟大为扮演的是曹操的手下，赵薇演的是孙权的妹妹，显然这是一场有些俗套的“罗密欧与朱丽 叶”式的爱情。作为一部商业大片，爱情是必不可少的，以战争终结爱情，用爱情终结战争，看来吴宇森最后用感 人的爱情来为充满英雄主义的“赤壁之战”终曲。

MediaCorp Raintree Pictures to turn Chinese horror classic into movie〔转载自：05 December 2007 Channel NewsAsia〕

The cast from 'Skin Lover'



BEIJING: Singapore filmmaker MediaCorp Raintree Pictures will score a first in China when it brings a Chinese horror classic to the movie screens next year.

"Skin Lover" will be the first fantasy-horror movie approved by the Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for production.

The movie is based on "The Painted Skin", one of the most chilling stories from the Strange Tales of Liao Zhai. It depicts a hideous spirit that dons the skin of a beauty to prey on unsuspecting young men.

Slated to be released late next year, the movie will see a stellar cast that includes Vicky Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Sun Li and Chen Kun; Hong Kong action hero Donnie Yen; and Singapore-based Chinese actor, Qi Yuwu. Their roles are kept under wraps, for now.

Raintree Pictures Managing Director Daniel Yun said that the budget of the movie will be US$15 million.

He added: "Because of how movies in China have leap-frogged, the kind of special effects that are now available for big, epic Chinese films (will mean that)... if you have Liao Zhai, it will be like the 'Lord of the Rings' for China."

"This will be a new challenge for me, as there will be martial arts involved and I have to express myself using these actions," said MediaCorp artiste Qi Yuwu.

"I don't really spend a lot of time researching about it. Because Gordon Chan, our director, wanted to focus on a brand new Painted Skin, the storyline and characters are very different from the original one," said Hong Kong movie star, Donnie Yen. - CNA/ir

"Painted Skin" in the Making

Filming has begun on "Painted Skin" (Hua Pi), an adaptation of the ancient Chinese supernatural novella of the same name, a press conference announced on Tuesday.

Director Gordon Chan has rallied six stars for the half-female, half-male cast, who are: mainland actresses Sun Li, Vicki Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun, mainland heartthrob Chen Kun, Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen, and Singaporean actor Qi Yuwu.

As the gang arrived on the scene wearing masks, the press conference began with a who's-who guessing game, and went on in such a playful way as to give away few details of the characters.

Producers said "Painted Skin" would debut as an action thriller rich in special effects, but they stopped short of revealing the plot, hoping a little ambiguity would last until the film's wrap party.

The film reportedly has a budget of US$10 million, with distributors already lined up in China and South-East Asia.
