Member DiP Posted May 3, 2012 Member Share Posted May 3, 2012 An upcoming action comedy starring Jet Li and Wen Zhang... ... ... ... ... But Jet's leaving all the action scenes to Wen Zhang while he will provide all the comic reliefs. The film will be produced by Beijing Enlight (the company behind Flash Point and Legend of the Fist) and helmed by Wang Zi Ming. The film is expected to be out in December this year. http://board.wu-jing.org/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=d10b990cdcd7dc11a972519bc58829e9&topic=433.45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CatNap Posted May 4, 2012 Member Share Posted May 4, 2012 I really love Wu Jing but I'm not entirely sold on Jet Li for comedic relief - I don't think it's his strong suit. Guess I'll have to see this one for myself........ Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted July 12, 2012 Author Member Share Posted July 12, 2012 More news... The film will be written by Charcoal Tan (OUATIC 2 and 3), produced by Chui Bo-Chu (Kung Fu Hustle, Fearless), and additional castmembers include Liu Shi Shi, Lin Shuang, Liu Yan, Chen Yan Xi, Tian Liang, Collin Chou and Wu Jing. Corey Yuen will handle action choreography duties. The film just started shooting and it estimated to be out this December, as mentioned earlier. Synopsis: In just 3 days, three cases of Smiling Murder shock the whole city. As he looks into the homicide, the young detective Wang Bu Er (Wen Zhang), the police station's reckless buffoon, makes a shocking statement that this is a serial murder. He and his buddy Huang Fei Hong (Jet Li) embarks on an investigation full of excitement and unexpected events. Huang Fei Hong may appear to no less muddle-headed than Wang Bu Er, but in reality, he is the real master of kungfu, and would, without fail, at the most critical moment, help Wang Bu Er get out of sticky situations. Wang Bu Er initially believes that budding actress Liu Jin Shui (Liu Shi Shi) is the prime suspect, but later, she is found to be innocent. Next, he shifts his focus on her sister Dai Yi Yi (Liu Yan), among others. Eventually, Wang Bu Er decides to pose as Liu Jin Shui's boyfriend to lure out the murderer. The closer he gets to the truth, the deeper he sinks into danger. http://board.wu-jing.org/smf/index.php?topic=498.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted July 12, 2012 Member Share Posted July 12, 2012 Judging by everything Corey Yuen has done since "Shaolin," this isn't looking very good. Add the fact that Jet Li isn't performing any of the action and that it was written by a guy called Charcoal - fucking Charcoal! - I'm not sure I have much faith in this one.

Okay, I'm confused 'cause this seems to me that Li's character is the one doing kung fu, not Zhang's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 29, 2013 Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 Personally, I really enjoyed Wu Jing in Fatal Contact and while I didn't really care for the film Invisible Target as a whole, I thought he was an excellent villain in it, as in SPL. But Drunken Monkey?.....Sheesh. I don't know if it's his choosing of roles or him being cast and misused by the directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted January 29, 2013 Author Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm somewhere between Keung and others. Wu Jing has great martial arts ability but most of his roles haven't given him more opportunities and more room to improve. At this point in his career, he needs an exceptional director and action choreographer to help him solidify his overall talent in action performance and acting to stand out as a player in his own right. SPL was a sign that Wu was in the right direction but it hasn't helped him much since. In given time, I'm sure he'll find the right role that will make him a sensation much like Jackie, Jet and Donnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted January 29, 2013 Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 I like Wu Jing, but I doubt he will ever be a star or leading man of any note. He's been trying since the mid 90's, that's almost two decades, so if he hasn't made it yet, I doubt it's gonna happen. He's good in the roles he gets, maybe that's enough. Oh, and they should give the english title another thought.... sounds like some bad spoof movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Keung Posted February 11, 2013 Member Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ridiculous title - it sounds like some sort of spoof, and the poster is pretty pants as well. It doesn't make me want to watch it. Hopefully a trailer will change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member BaronK Posted February 11, 2013 Member Share Posted February 11, 2013 "The film is directed by Wang Zi Ming and produced by Po Chu Chui of Kung Fu Hustle and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame. With Wu Jing (SPL) and Collin Chou (The Matrix Reloaded, Flashpoint) also onboard in the cast line-up and Corey Yuen (Shaolin) serving as fight choreographer, martial arts fans will surely not be disappointed for the lack of fisticuffs. When a spate of eerie murders erupts across Hong Kong two troublemaking cops are assigned to the case. Young maverick WANG and grizzled vet HUANG who is fed up with his reckless younger partner always landing them in hot water. Reaching a dead end after discovering all the victims were former boyfriends of aspiring starlet LIU, the detectives must play a deadly game. One of them must go undercover as Liu's lover to lure the killer out. The film is currently in post production and its scheduled for theatrical release in China in June." Yuen Kwei, again.

Member DiP Posted February 11, 2013 Author Member Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yuen Kwei, again. Who knows, maybe he'll pull off another BFB or KOTD (hopefully) considering the plot's whole nature (serial killing, investigations, thrills).

I hate to stereotype here, but I can easily picture my own grandma beating up your typical insurance agent. So far I'm not seeing a good reason to get too excited about this one yet. But I'm still hoping to see an awesome trailer with the coolest, most intimidating insurance agent known to man… If that’s possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
