Yesterday was director Su Chao Bin's birthday... Who is Su Chao Bin ?!? He is the Taiwanese director who is in charge of filming the movie co produced by Terrence Chang and Jonh Woo : "Rain of swords", he had previously left his marks with "Better than Sex" 愛情靈藥 and "Double Vision" 双瞳, so this movie is the first big production this talented director is using to enter the Mainland market, with more than 12 Millions invested and the participation of Michelle Yeoh as the female lead, and Jung Woo Sung, Kelly Lin, DaS Xu Xi Yuan, Wang Xue Qi, Shawn Yue, Jiang Yi Yan as supporting characters.
On the day of his birthday, "Rain Of Swords" cast and crew opened the filming set in Heng Dian to the press and because the cast counted many superstars, this visit became a gossip arena.
Most gossipy : Michelle Yeoh talks about her experience as a matchmaker
"Not matchmaking, just arranging dinners and whether there's fate or not is up to themselves"
"Rain of Swords" has Michelle Yeoh acting as a female assassin who wants to quit, after "reforming", she wed Jung Woo Sung but unknown to her is that the assassination ring doesn't want to let go of her like that, sending killers to kill her, and behind this pursuit there's a cospiration to obtain the relic of an eminent monk.
This is the first movie Michelle is leading 10 years after "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" using her fists once again. Yesterday, while talking about the action scenes in this movie, Michelle happily said "This time, the set of "Rain of swords" you came to see is one that ressembles very much with a set in "Chouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" so there is some bad feelings, I'd hope nothing would happen again."
Last time, on the first day of filming "Chouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", he feet got hurt and needed an operation, Ang Lee even changed the whole schedule because of her.
This time, as one of the producer, she is handling several jobs,she still goes to the filming set evn when she has no scenes" Like Kelly Lin and DaS who are filming action scenes for the first time, as someone who has gone through that, I can give them advices, and when the action director is teaching them, I can remind them sometimes to prevent them from being hurt."
While she was talking, she was full of "Big sister" aura, reporters asked her out of curiosity : "Last time you matchmade for Isabella Leung successfully, now that kelly Lin is signed under you company, will you find a good family for her to marry into as well ? "
Michelle laughed, "I'm not a professional matchmaker, usually, it's having dinner together, and whether they can get along or not, whether there's fate or not is up to them ! "
A few days ago, Isabella was rumored to be about to marry Richard Li thanks to her newborn boy, reporters asked Michelle whether as the matchmaker she received invitations, she froze for a second :"Ah ?! Whose ?! No ! I never heard of that, you're the first one who told me ! "
About her own love life, it is still as sweet, she revealed to the reporters that she hopes to finish filming before feb 14th, as it is a very special day, "Spending the day with parents to celebrate New Year, and the evening with my boyfriend to celebrate Valentine's Day."
Most focused on : Leon Dai talks about the news of his separation with Gui Lun Mei
"The Taiwanese reporter who wrote that really wants to be a script writer !"
While visiting the set, the remarkable "killers" Kelly Lin, DaS, Shawn Yue and Guo Xiao Dong arrived, but the reporters were evene more surprised to see the the actor performing as the oldest killer in the movie was.... Director Leon Dai ! He, who after winning with "No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti" the Golden horse Best director Award, said in an interview that if he was to need money he'd go back being an actor and do some gueststarring, was teased by the reporters as soon as he appeared : "Director Dai, you just got the GHA and you already need money !?"
Leon Laughed hard and said : "I acceptedthis movie before winning the GHA, but ,ow that the GHA is over, the filming is still going on ! " He added that he is great buddies with Director Su Chao Bin and the 2 have a pact to appear as cameos in the other one's movie : "From the first movie,until now, I had always doing cameos in his movies, endlessly being mistreated, tortured by him and the worst was when I got feces thrown at me."
Him, DaS and Shawn Yue kept on joking around, DaS,who was on the side exposed that in the movie, he got designed as a very unllucky assassin whose 4 limbs are almost ruined, his image is unbearably pitiful, so maybe director Su is jealous because he isn't as handsome and did it on purpose !
As a golden couple in the entertainment industry, Leon and Gui Lun Mei got many people focus, especially after their hug at the GHA, but last month, a post gui Lun Mei wrote in her blog got many people guessing, and there were even reporters who wrote that thaey already split up. Finally getting hold of the male lead, yesterday, they tried to dig some gossip , Leon laughed out loud and jokingly replied : "the 2 Taiwanese reporters who wrote that really want to become script writers ! "
Warmest : John Woo talks about his daughter acting in the movie
"She is really serious and diligent, I'll support her"
What needed to be added was that FeXia Woo, John's daughter is also acting in "Rain of Swords", while he was interviewed, he showed his strong approval for his daughter's performance : "For the past week, I was with her, she's not bad, it was her first fight scene and she was hung with wires buit she was very serious."
He also honestly stated that he'll also, as a producer shoot a short film for her. "Now she wants to act in movies and also be a director, I will be supporting her"
While talking about his future plans, he said that apart from "Flying Tiger SWAT Team" 飞虎群英，he is also preparing for a Sci-Fi movie and is contacting James Cameron, thinking about how to make use of the new 3D filming system.
But about whether it is copying or not, Jonh Woo denied this way of thinking : "Technology is something we can't compete over with, but what we are filming is a completly different theme, so the audience will still feel the freshness. I want to buy Cameron's 3d cameras to film. Event though it's expensive, but usine new technologies is expensive, it'll slowly get cheaper" John Woo says that he has been preparing this Sci-Fi themed movie since 2009, the budget won't be low, he's waiting to finish "Flying Tiger SWAT Team" first before immersing in it.
