On Monday at the Hong Kong International Film Market (HK Filmart), the company "Celestial Pictures" presented a 12-minute promotional video for a new historical action adventure film called “Da Wu Sheng” (My Kingdom), thereby marking his return to the film business.
Fame, love and revenge are intertwined in this story about two orphans who are accepted into an opera troupe at the end of the 19th century. They were trained in Peking Opera and martial arts, and became a real sensation in Shanghai.
The film is starring Barbie Hsu (Barbie Hsu) Wu Chun (Wu Chun) and Han Geng (Han Geng).
post-processing "My Kingdom" should finish at the end of April, and release will take place in August or September. At this point, the film has already been purchased by various distributors from Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Ross Pollack, CEO "Celestial Pictures", said the company intends to make “good profitable films with quality stories.”
Executive producer Andre Morgan described "My Kingdom" as “a story about young people, with young people in the lead roles. A story that is as relevant today as it was in Shanghai in the 1920s.”
Director Gao Xiao Song explained that he set himself the goal of creating something “fresh” for a young audience. He admitted that he worked on the film for 5 years, and before filming began, the script was rewritten 31 times.
Pollak said "Celestial Pictures" first attracted to the project two years ago. Sammo Hungg, who was also present at "HK Filmart", claimed that it was the best script he had read in his forty years of acting career.
On the "HK Filmart" a 3D video of the historical action film directed by Tsui Hark was also shown “Flying Swords of Dragon Gate” (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate). Jet Li as always, demonstrated masterful swordsmanship, and Tsui Hark has proven that it can handle 3D technologies very well.

Apparently Da Wu Sheng will be a great movie.
It's okay. Did you get the link to the Choy Li Fut trailer? If you got it, will you post it next to the poster?
Ok, added.
I hope Da Wu Sheng will be shown in our cinemas.
Xenic, sorry, your link didn’t work: 10 comments on the forum just to see a picture is too much even for my patience. But thanks a lot anyway!
And where are these videos?
Looking forward to your arrival...
