Today (27th of May) the ancient Chinese comedy action film "God of Wealth Inn" directed by Wong Jing held a ceremony for the start of filming in Beijing. Director Wong Jing along with main cast Nicholas Tse, Nick Cheung, Betty Huang, Dawei Tong and Liu Yang attended to reveal to everyone the plot of the movie and characters. This is the first high profile appearance of Nicholas Tse since his second son was born, the other female lead in the movie Charlene Choi could not be there because she was filming "Jade Pearl", but she did a VCR to "especially ask after" Nicholas Tse.
Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung have a good understanding since working on "The Beast Stalker" and "The Informers", this movie "God of Wealth Inn" is already their third collaboration, but unlike before when the two's roles in the movies were an honest policeman and a cold hearted killer respectively, the fight between them was very intense, in this kung fu comedy film, the two "resolve their differences" and become good partners. According to Wong Jing's introduction, Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung play officers at the government office kitchen, the two are good at kung fu but no one believes them, until they get embroiled in a big case, during the investigation they show off their skills; according to Wong Jing's introduction, this kind of "weird partnership" topic is not very common in Mainland China, the inspiration behind it comes from an early Italian movie.
Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung often have "big fights" in action movies, you could say they are very familiar with it, the two had a contest of "unsheathing the sword the quickest", the presenter hadn't even finished saying "go", they just heard a "swish", the sheaths fell to the ground, the speed was startling and won over applause.
Betty Huang has had a lot of movies in recent years, her career is going smoothly, endless number of contracts, for this time she has accepted to play twins with Charlene Choi - "Water dragon girl" and "Fire dragon girl", Wong Jing describes them as a pair of "utterly heartless" girls; Liu Yang on the other hand plays the owner of a tavern "Yu Ling Long". According to introductions, Nicholas Tse plays young master Gong who has an unusual relationship with both Yu Ling Long and Fire dragon girl, on one side there's slight ambiguity between young master Gong and Yu Ling Long, but Charlene's Fire dragon girl is also very much attached to young master Gong.
