Tong Yao Trains for Li Feng's Upcoming Action Film

-- Dancing Fist --

Tong Yao, who graduated from Central Drama Academy in 2002 and has background in dancing, is training for over eight hours daily to prepare for her role in 《舞拳》 Dancing Fist/Fistplay (tentative), an upcoming contemporary action comedy directed by Li Feng, who also wrote the script. She says that this is her first work with Li Feng. She was drawn to the project by the script and is obsessed with the characters, as well as the martial arts choreography. She's very excited to be working with Tiger Chen Hu, Yuen Wo Ping's protege. Hoping to become an action star, she goes through rigorous training under Yuen Wo Ping Stunt Team members (video) and intends to perform all action herself. She says that the movie will be a showcase of authentic martial arts. Tong Yao plays opposite Tiger Chen as a girl who gets bullied. After learning the arts of defence from a coach she meets, she goes back for revenge. Eventually, she realises that the greatest enemy is herself. Production begins in August.  Sina
