Wu Jing and Monica Chan's roles in Wu Dang 2

-- Wu Dang 2 --

Wu Jing, who plays a legendary figure Zhang Wu Ji in Wu Dang 2 《武当2》, is especially particular about the action scenes. In order to best portray the authentic side of Wudang kungfu, he went to Chen Village again to seek further tutelage. He trained mostly in practical combat there. He is leaving everything to his management to help him break into Hollywood. However, he does not consider Hollywood as the be-all and end-all dreams of Asian stars, since there are areas in which Chinese culture excels in, such as martial arts, though Hollywood has an edge in technology. He laments the lack of martial artists on the screen in the recent years and looks forward to teaming up with Jet Li some day.  Henan Daily

Monica Chan who plays a downtrodden princess in Wu Dang 2, doesn't get to wear exquisite clothes and has lots of fight scenes to do. Things didn't go on very smoothly for her either. She once had a heatstroke due to the weather. On another occasion, she hurt herself on the lips with a General Guan's sabre she had to wield in one scene. The TV series will move location to Mt Wudang later this month.  Takung Daily
