On November 20, Nicky Li, Wu Jing and Celina Jade were invited for a chat hosted by Sina, sharing the joys and pains on the set of Legendary Assassin.

The subjects brought up include the frustrations of waiting passively for chances in Hong Kong, the reasons for opting for a simple story, their approach to action, preconceived notions on action stars' acting, one's respect to the profession, the tricks to crying, the difficulties of working with the giant wrestler, injuries and box office outlook.

Legendary Assassin opens in cinemas on December 10.

Why didn't you play any role in Ip Man but served only as the martial arts director?
Sammo Hung: There's no suitable role, and the boss thinks I'm too expensive.

As the martial arts choreographer of Ip Man, is it more difficult to craft, direct Wing Chun sequences than your past movies? Did you delve deep into Wing Chun?
Sammo Hung: Every movie has its own challenges, it's not merely restricted to Ip Man. Ip Man is primarily about a person, it tests the actor's ability, whether he has the capacity to portray such a person. What I did was to coordinate with the director and the actors to complete the martial arts scenes.
