On Aug 13, Lam Chichung (who is Stephen Chow movies’ screenwriter), kicked start the CSKJB in a very special setting. Chichung appeared in a white ancient costume and drawn laughter from the audience. Then Wallace Huo, Jing Tian, Dyland Kuo appeared after him. Chichung assumed the role as a host for the event.
Jing Tian plays the role of an ugly monarch
In CSKJB , Jing Tian will play a skinny monarch in the Tang dynasty. Although she is skinny, she has good kungfu. Jing Tian disclosed that she will play an ugly lady in CSKJB for being too skinny. She said that although in modern days the skinnier the better, but in the Tang dynasty, beauty depends on how fat one is. A person likes me is most ugly at that time. I can’t find a boyfriend and have to hide myself at home to gain weight. She also said being lean helps her to “fly” in the air better because she has good kungfu.
Although she enjoys flying, it is difficult for her to switch role. Just finished her role as a strong female general in Warring States movie, she now has to play a sweet and gentle woman with good kungfu.
Wallace is not afraid of playing a wretched guy
Being Jing Tian’s boyfriend, Wallace will not be as lucky as Jing Tian. From being dreadfully handsome Wallace will play a wretched guy in CSKJB. Before time travel, Wallace is a loser in modern days. After time travel, he will meet Jing Tain and she falls in love with him. Wallace said that I worked together with Chichung before whereas I played a handsome and medieval hero with strong material acts while Chichung played a silly little fat boy. But in CSKJB, he made me play a disheveled and poor guy wearing big eyeglasses while he plays the charming Li Bai [note: a famous poet]. He is taking a revenge on me!
Since this is a time travel movie, the press asked Wallace the related questions. Wallace said he prefers to travel back and live in modern days while Jing Tian wants to stay in the Tang dynasty.
Lam Chichung
Being a golden screenwriter for the “king of comedy” Stephen Chow, Chichung had participated in a number of Stephen’s movies (such a Kungfu, Shaolin Soccer etc). Whether at the front or back stages, his performance was outstanding. Lam Chichung will be the director, screenwriter and actor in CSKJB. He will play the poet Li Bai. When asked whether he wants to exceed Stephen and creates a new field in the comedy blockbusters, Chichung said Stephen is his friend and master. He always encourages him, whether in screenwriting or acting, to just go for it and break a new path. I have “stolen” a variety of funny stunts from him and will use them all in this movie. Chichung expressed that he hopes to create a classic movie which really makes people laugh. He will embed in unprecedented laughing materials into the movie. I hope that the audiences will truly laugh from their hearts, and certainly not with the vulgar spoof of forcing the audiences to laugh. Chichung disclosed that in CSKJB, the people will not stay in one time zone. Both modern and ancient people have the chances to travel back and forth many times. Not only that they use the ancient wisdom to solve modern disputes, but help the modern people with ancient philosophy.
