The "Strongest in the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Mainland actor Wang Baoqiang in the Emperor new film YUT GOR YUN DIK MO LUM played modern martial art masters. Earlier they appeared in Tai O for a chase scene. Known for his fighting, Yen Chi Tan despite old wounds still put a lot of effort into his fight scene. Wang Baoqiang for his river jumping scene ignored the dirty water and just jumped in. His professionalism should be commended.

The Teddy Chan Tak Sum directed Emperor new film YUT GOR YUN DIK MO LUM had Yen Chi Tan as its star and action director. Chi Tan and Mainland actor Wang Baoqiang in the film both played modern martial art experts. They earlier worked on location in Tai O. That day the Yen Chi Tan and Deep Ng Ho Hong who played a cop chased Wang Baoqiang. On the set, before the shoot Chi Tan not only did his warm up exercises but also had a massage on his waist from the crew. Then the fighting scenes officially began.

Was he injured? Chi Tan said, "I have some old injuries and some new injuries on my waist, with reporters here of course I have to tough it out! However I performed most of the action scenes myself. One person for two jobs, I am quite a value. Thus how can anyone possibly say that I charged so much!" H admitted that despite his old wounds he still would try to personally perform fight scenes in hopes of making them the most realistic.

Also playing a modern martial art expert Wang Baoqiang appeared hobbling with a few scars on his face to add to his weathered impression. As for the scars on his hand, Wang Baoqiang lightly said that they were from the shoot but were no big deal. When he jumped into the sewage water under the Tai O row houses, he had no stage fright at all and gave quite an effort. When he returned to the boat he immediately cleaned his face with clean water. Even when the director asked him to jump again, he still performed as asked and was very professional.

How did he feel about jumping into the dirty water, Wang Baoqiang said, "The water is very salty, the flavor is not bad." Yen Chi Tan joked, "I just peed into the stream, all of us did that." Everyone cracked.

Wang Baoqiang did not forget to praise Tai O's beautiful scenery. He admitted that for this shoot he will stay in Hong Kong for two months, naturally he missed his family. He said, "I missed my children at home." Why did he not bring his wife to work in Hong Kong with him? He said, "She has been here before, but because the children had school they already went back." Did he exchange any parenthood tips with Yen Chi Tan? Wang Baoqiang said, "Chi Tan is a good father and is very responsible, but I too many a responsible person."

The Emperor Motion Picture YUT GOR YUN DIK MO LUM (THE MARTIAL ART WORLD OF ONE PERSON) earlier held its production start ceremony. Boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing led director Teddy Chan Tak Sum, actors Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Wang Baoqiang, Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Bai Bing and Deep Ng Ho Hong to the worship ceremony. Yeung Sau Sing celebrated Yen Chi Tan's 50th birthday Saturday in advance. Chan Tak Sum also presented the film's 12 inch figure to him as a present, which made Yen Chi Tan rather happy.

Yen Chi Tan said, "Every year I have a few days that I don't work on, my wife's birthday, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. I definitely would stop working on my birthday. People can't work everyday." Reportedly this film will salute the elders of action, Yen Chi Tan admitted that he would not have a lot of pressure because of that. Mainly he wanted to pay tribute to them from his heart. In comparison self breakthrough would have the most pressure, in addition the idea of the salute came from the director. As a Hong Kong action actor I of course couldn't agree more."

In action scenes with Yeung Choi Nei, did he have to accommodate? Yen Chi Tan said, "Whether she has any martial art experience or not, as long as she is an actress I would accommodate. This is the consideration and demeanor that a man should have; earlier when I worked with Wai Ying Hung on WUXIA I didn't treat her like a man either."

Yeung Choi Nei pointed out that she played a police officer in the film and only needed to use a gun. She did not need ot fight. She said, "Before hand I went to classes to learn about guns, I hope they are helpful to the shoot. (Did you ask Yen Chi Tan to teach you kung fu?) Working together on the shoot is already a lot of fun. Watching him in fight scenes on the set, I was already wowed. I focused on gun practices, to the point that I wouldn't blink when I fire. (Would you have any kiss scene with Yen Chi Tan?) Our relationship isn't this type at all, with (Alex) Fong Chung Shum I have a little romance."

When Fong Chung Shun and Yeung Choi Nei posed for photos, he had a smug look and said that this time finally he was able to hug his childhood goddess.

He joked, "I am 30 something too, the shoot has quite a first love feel. Now all my self confidence is back. I remember when I first got into the business, I worked on a Yeung Choi Nei music video and I was the music video lead actor; now she is just as great. (Has you asked for kiss scene?) Adding a bed scene would be the best, but I am not the screen writing. It's very hard to add!"

The five actresses under the guidance of Karl Hui awkwardly paired clothing.

Closer member Deep Ng Ho Hong looked thinner. He revealed that he dropped from 182 to 156 pounds. "I don't have to be as fit as (Nick) Cheung Ka Fai, losing the fat is enough." He said that in the film he played a debt collector. "During the shoot I had bad takes all the time, once I had to kick a door in. Actually (Louis) Cheung Kai Chung was behind the door and got trapped."

Former Golden Harvest boss Raymond Chow Man Wai is already retired but occasionally would guest star in films. After A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH), two nights ago he appeared on location with Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Charlie Yeung Choi Nei at Central.

The Teddy Chan Tak Sum directed, Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Wang Baoqiang and Bai Bing starred Emperor Motion Picture YUT GOR YUN DIK MO LUM (THE MARTIAL ART WORLD OF ONE PERSON) was heating up in production. Yen Chi Tan and Yeung Choi Nei two nights ago appeared at Central for the location shoot.

Yeung Choi Nei earlier directed her first film CHRISTMAS ROSE (SING DAN MUI GWAI). At the time she already revealed that she will mainly be an actress. This time in YUT she played an inspector. In comparison to her high ranking police public relations official in COLD WAR (HONG JIN) the character had another flavor. Yeung Choi Nei who has always given people a fragile impression two nights ago appeared in an inspector look at Central. Even when she shot a dinner scene at a street stall with Chi Tan, Deep Ng Ho Hong and Bai Bing she still looked serious like a smart inspector.

As for the retired former Golden Harvest film company boss Chow Man Wai also appeared. Chow Man Wai after his ordering scene would rest in a nearby store. His daughter Chow Chung Hung kept him company and took care of him attentively. After several shots, Chow Man Wai and his daughter left first. Director Chan Tak Sum revealed that YUT was a salute to action films. Golden Harvest was always a cradle for action stars and films, which conceivably was the reason that the film company invited Chow Man Wai to perform.

Although the production team prevented any photo or interview, Chi Tan and Charlie still stood still for the reporters then returned to rest in the store.

In the story Yen Chi Tan played a police martial art coach. Once he accidentally killed someone over a personal matter and went to prison. In order to regain his freedom, he assisted inspector Yeung Choi Nei on her investigation to capture a vicious serial killer.

In addition, director Chan Tak Sum earlier said that Hong Kong action films for years have held an very important spot in the world film industry. Thus he hoped through YUT to salute a group of action film colleagues and elders and reminded everyone to pay attention to preserve the action film industry.
