-- Legendary Assassin --
Senior Kou Zhan Wen and Wu Jing grew up together as members of Beijing Wushu Team, but Wu Jing actually joined the team earlier. However, as Kou Zhan Wen's older than them, they called him senior. Wu Jing says, "When I was a kid, Kou Zhan Wen was our chairman, I could only be an assistant, and I had boil water for the chairman in winter."
One's affections as a kid are often the purest and most innocent, while they have left the wushu team in pursuit of their own careers, their relations remained close as ever.
"Wu Jing kicked me very hard, it was very painful. His foot felt like metal," Kou Zhan Wen recounts an incident on the set of Legendary Assassin where he received a kick on the back of his head. As he speaks, Kou Zhan Wen makes a signal, launches an attack on Wu Jing. Wu Jing turns to him, blocks it, with a turn of the hand, grabs his senior's fist.
"The biggest hurdle and cause for regret when shooting action films are not meeting someone of your equal. That's why I invited Senior, hoping to present an enthralling true-blue martial arts sequence." Wu Jing explains the reason for getting Kou Zhan Wen play a fearsome crime boss who makes off to an island in order to hide from the Interpol.
"The first fight is between Senior and me, he plays a villain, carrying a big Kwando. I haven't had such a delightful fight for a long time. Only when facing someone like him can I fight without reservations, without holding back. We fought like that in the past, if it were others, I fear they might not be able to withstand it." continues Wu Jing. East Week
