White Dragon Opens in October 2004

-- The White Dragon --

The White Dragon 《飞侠小白龙》, directed by Wilson Yip, is set for release in Mainland on October 28. This period comedy, produced at a budget of over 30 million yuan, was filmed in merely 18 days earlier this year. Ma Yuk Sing choreographs the action.

A major point of interest in the movie is a battle scene between Cecilia Cheung and Francis Ng in the bamboo forest, which was shot in 3 days, while the director and the production spent a week scouting location for this scene. To capture the elegance of Cecilia Cheung's lightness skills from different angles, Wilson Yip had no less than three cameras operating at once.

It was no mean feat for either Cecilia Cheung or Francis Ng who had to be suspended on wires constantly and were suffering from aches. "The last time I did an action movie was Tokyo Raiders, and this time, being a period movie, the broad movements I did were sometimes not natural and graceful, the director kept reminding me of the bearings of a heroine. My body was terribly sore after doing this scene. It was exhausting and difficult but with Wilson Yip at the helm, all the action scenes look so beautiful." recounted Cecilia Cheung.  Sohu | More Photos: Sohu | Trailer: Sina
