记者从广东开平赤坎影视城获悉，11月21日王家卫携梁朝伟、章子怡、张震等在开平某酒店为《一代宗师》举行开机拜神仪式。影片将从12月12日到明年4月18日在该影视城拍摄。记者致电该片监制吴思远求证，对方称“确实差不多要开始拍了。”王家卫的泽东公司也承认了影片开拍一事，但不愿提供更多信息。

上个月就有媒体报道，王家卫《一代宗师》将于11月底开机。昨日记者从赤坎影视城工作人员处获悉，11月21日王家卫率众主创在广东开平某酒店举行小型拜神仪式。该工作人员透露，她在现场看到王家卫、章子怡、梁朝伟、张震等人。为配合由王家卫导演的电影《一代宗师》，赤坎影视城将于2009年12月12日至2010年4月18日期间停止开放，不再售卖门票，2010年4月19日起重新对外营业。

另有传言称，林青霞和赵本山也会出演角色，曾操刀《东邪西毒》的配乐陈勋奇则担任该片音乐总监。《一代宗师》监制吴思远受访时表示，“11月底确实要拍了，演员阵容换过很多次，具体的名单还是要等王家卫亲自说吧。”（记者杨林）

Hello who ever interested in this news.

I know that Jenny can translate much better than me, but she is traveling at the moment, so I just translated basic information about this article.

WKW Secretly had the opening ceremony of the "Grand Master" in Gwan Dong.

On 21 Nov. WKW took Tony, Zhang Ziyi, Chan Chen etc to a Hotel in Kai Ping town to have a small blessing ceremony (with roasted little piglets) for start of shooting the film.
The reporter heard from the producer that the shooting will be taking place at the studio (Film Park) in near by town from 12 Dec. 2009 to 18 April 2010. The Film Park will be closed for the public during that time, and reopen on 19 April 2010.

The producer also said that the shooting should start at the end of Nov. however we will have to wait to hear from WKW himself about the details of the actors and their roles.

(The only information I was able to find of Kaiping and Guangdong, was in Wikipedia - but nothing about a "Film Park" there)

Dear Helga and everyone interested in these places.

There are a lot of personal travel blogs with photos about these places, and after my further investigation, I found some videos which looked quite interesting. (It is in Japanese)

It said that Kaiping (Hoiping in Cantonese,Kaihei in Japanese) is the hometown for the oversea Chinese and there is "Museum of Oversea Chinese History" in "Chikan Film City" which looks very interesting.
