-- New Age Vampire Warriors --
Director Dennis Law's supernatural action comedy, New Age Vampire Warriors, starring Jiang Lu Xia, Yuen Wah, Chrissie Chau, Chin Siu Ho, Pinky Cheung, Xiong Xin Xin, Dada, A. Lin, has just begun production on June 11, 2010.

As the Vampire Lord, Yuen Wah will be fighting almost everyone throughout the film, in particular, Jiang Lu Xia. To avenge her sister's death, Jiang Lu Xia has been trying to take Yuen Wah's life from the outset. As a veteran martial arts star, Yuen Wah heaps praises on Jiang Lu Xia, as it's rare to see an actress capable of fighting, and Jiang Lu Xia's moves are especially lethal and outstanding. Their exchange ended in both having bruises.

Apart from action, Jiang Lu Xia will have many dramatic and emotional scenes. She'll also be sporting long tresses for the first time, "This image is very feminine, allowing me to exhibit my kungfu as well as a tender side, I like this role very much, and hope to give everyone a brand new feel."

New Age Vampire Warriors is wrapping up at end of July. Dennis Law intends to make sequels if the reception is good.  Netease, TOM

-- Choy Li Fut --

Contemporary martial arts comedy 《蔡李佛拳》 Choy Li Fut (tentative) has formally begun production in Guangzhou on June 2, 2010. The film is directed by Cheng Dong, and stars Wang Bao Quang, Michelle Ye Xuan, Ng Man Tat, Xie Miao, Sanda champion Liu Hai Long, Kara Hui, Xiong Nai Jin, Wong Yat Fei, Liu Han etc. The film has the support of Chen Zhong Jie, head of Xin Hui Choy Li Fut Association, who provides input on the script and assists in martial arts choreography.

As this is the first time the former Shaolin disciple Wang Bao Qiang gets to do a martial arts production, he is especially excited and elated. He says that in the past, he was under the impression that shooting an action film was easy, but only when he starts doing it does he realises that it's not as simple as he had thought, there's some challenge in accommodating the camera, he still needs to work hard on it. Wang Bao Qiang would be sparring against Xie Miao quite frequently, and his effort has been acknowledged by Xue Miao, who notes that he's very diligent and both of them fight till their hands are covered in bruises.

Michelle Ye is playing Wang Bao Qiang's love interest in Choy Li Fut. Michelle Ye says that Wang Bao Qiao is very cute and she had hoped to collaborate again with him again since doing Fire of Conscience last year. Ng Man Tat would play Wang Bao Qiao's father.

Wang Bao Qiang is taking on the leading role as an American born Chinese youth Hai Gui, who returns to China to succeed a Choy Li Fut School. He who was trained in Western Boxing, is to grow from a neophyte to a master of Choy Li Fut. He is dressed in avant-garde clothes and would often mix a line or two of English in his speech, and would be embroiled in multiple-angle relationship tussle, namely rivalling with sanda fighter Xie Miao for the affection of Michelle Ye.

Choy Li Fut is slated for release at end of 2010.  Sina
