The press conference, which was held at noon on September 29 in Chong Yang, Hubei Ave., was attended by members of the film crew and actors from the new film with the working title “Legend of Madam White Snake” (白蛇传说 aka Legend of the White Snake). This is a story about the forbidden love of a snake spirit and a mortal, and a famous monk tries to stop this love. The conference officially announced:
Yang Zi (Yang Zi), filming the TV series “Unparalleled Hero Fong Sai Yu”, Shi Xiao Long (Shi Xiao Long) Xu Ming Hu (Xu Ming Hu) and Chuy Po Chu (Chui Po Chu) will finance the film. The director will be Chin Xiu Tan (Ching Siu Tung) Eva Huang (Eva Huang) will star as White Snake, Raymond Lamb (Raymond Lam) - as Xu Xian, Jet Li - in the role of Reverend Fa Hai, and Charlene Choi (Charlene Choi) - as the Green Snake.
Wen Zhang (Wen Zhang) Jet Li invited his student Neng Ren to play the role, who, despite his name, which means stamina/endurance, “loses his head” just by glancing at the Green Snake.
Eva Huang said that in “Legend of Madam White Snake” she has a lot of fight scenes. Production on the film began early this month in picturesque Chung Yan and is scheduled for release in the second half of 2011. She recently starred in a fight episode against Jet Li.
He is a professional of the highest class. When he's doing fights, I prefer to stand back and learn from him on the fly.
Himself Jet Li was not at the press conference because he was meeting with Warren Buffett и Bill Gates, with whom I discussed charity issues.

Found out a little. Jet's role is secondary. Raymond Lamb will play the lead role. The original candidates for the lead role, besides Lam, were
Ethan Ruan, Peter Ho and Mark Chao, but Ethan and Mark were eliminated because they are not well known in China. And Peter Ho was poorly suited for the male lead role, unlike Raymond, who fit perfectly into the character.
Film budget: 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Well, it seems to me that his role is not secondary, but rather that of a monk who will save his student)
Jet Li has “risen up” and is meeting with Bill Gates himself. :)
PS People from the IT field, I think, will understand the expression - “with Bill Gates himself.” ;)
Thank you. I understand Lee will be playing a supporting role?
Most likely.
