I wondered when that project would get underway! So it's begun. The synopsis sounds interesting. _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

[2011.0.10.01] TONY LEUNG CHIU WAI WEARS CONTACT FOR NEW FILM
courtesy of on.cc
Tony Leung Chiu Wai after completing THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) flew to Shanghai for the Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung directed new film WIND SEEKER (TING FUNG JEH)'s costume fitting and preparing for the official shoot in a few days. Wai Jai this time will play a 50s special agent who due to visual impairment had sharp hearing and other abilities. He and female lead Zhou Xun will have a complicated relationship.
Wai Jai earlier at the costume fitting studied the eye make up with Mak Siu Fai. He accepted the suggestion without any hesitation and put on special white contact lenses. Mak Siu Fai was rather touched. "He has never worn contact lenses and expected them to be tough. His electrifying eyes are well known. What am I going to do if something happens to them. In the film he also has a surgery scene that returns his sight. Right now we are still studying how to shoot it. (Did you buy insurance for him?) The film company will take care of that."
Mak Siu Fai honestly said that after enjoying the Emperor Motion Picture THE MESSAGE he was very interested in spy films. Coincidentally this time a film company bought the rights to THE MESSAGE novelist Mai Jia's other book DECRYPT and approached him to collaborate. Aside from Wai Jai and Zhou Xun, Mainland actor Wang Xuebing who rose due to the television series CHERISH OUR LOVE FOREVER will also join the cast. The production has been slated to complete before Christmas. _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

It just popped up in my inbox, via Google Alerts, but you're most welcome. I'm very curious, and excited, to see how the film turns out! (I hope he is done with "The Grandmasters," but from what little we know, I don't hardly see how he could be, unless he finished filming his scenes over the last five or six weeks, when things were fairly quiet around here.)
BTW, I love that second picture of him on this thread. It's so sweet. _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

The word is that Tony need to put a white color contact lens into his beautiful eye.
Please take care!!! _________________ From Hongkong with Love |

Thanks, nancix! The design's emphasis on Tony's ear is very clever!
Sounds like they'll keep careful watch of how Tony's eyes react to the contacts, but I do hope Tony will speak up, if they don't feel right, just to be on the safe side. _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

Thanks Jamaica for the news in English and nancix for the poster. I like this one better but somehow couldn't get it posted. Guess the link was bad. Current news is shooting of Windseeker will start in just few days and it is scheduled for releasing nest summer. Hope The Grandmasters will be released next year too. |

Today's photo - one of Tony's character designs in Windseeker. Do you see that 2 people on his right hand side in total shock? Haha. He still looks handsome without showing his electrifying eyes.

That is a very intriguing poster. The poster and the plot are very Hitchcockish.
Thanks Nancix. |
