Media Asia action film LEGEND OF THE FIST THE RETURN OF CHEN ZHEN (JING MO FUNG WON CHEN ZHEN) has already been scheduled for a National Day Mainland release. Yesterday the film held a press conference in Beijing. Guests included producer Gordon Chan Ka Seung, director Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Shu Qi, Anthony Wong Chau Sun and others. A 60 minute trailer was screened at the event. In a Chinese laborer costume Donnie Yen Chi Tan's Chen Zhen led his compatriots into battle and fought bare hand with the enemies. He even put on a black mask that descended from above, which reportedly was a salute to Bruce Lee.

Chau Sun played a patriotic mob boss. As soon as he got on stage he revealed that he was an "one yuan Best Actor". "The director gave me one yuan and I was here already." While the director and the producer both were boasted the box office will break 500 million, Wong Chau Sun calmly stated, "I am not so crazy, if the box office will truly be 500 million then my salary will be able to raise by 30%." The host joked that if the box office will exceed 500 million the director should buy him a cruise liner. He turned it down and said, "A bicycle is fine for me, if you give me a cruise liner how can I afford to keep it?"

Shu Qi played Kiki, the top dancer at the Paramount club. Her every move and smile would put the masses under her spell. In the film she was stuck between Chi Tan and Chau Sun. She said, "This film made me truly realize that tough guy is tender in love." Chau Sun joked, "Making this film I realize the most that tough guy is romantic in love." The trio's romantic squabble made Shu Qi feel that she was somewhat confused. "Everyone is playing tha type of characters who can be both good and bad, I often have the feeling of character confusion." Many said that Shu Qi's costume resembled her BLOOD BROTHERS (TIN TONG HAU) look. She insisted that the difference was huge. "over five years my look changed a lot!" Yet playing a dance escort again she still felt singing was very hard. However the director was very confident in her so she just relaxed and sang.

In addition earlier Mainland actress Zhou Yang blasted Chi Tan on her micrblog as a "movie tyrant". Chan Ka Seung directly responded for the first time, "Girls throw tantrum perhaps because they don't understand some things. The appearance of such a misunderstanding is my responsibility. I wrote eight drafts of the screenplay, I also made the changes. Yen Chi Tan is truly innocent, calling him a 'movie tyrant' is very unfair to him." Lau Wai Keung also felt that Chi Tan was not someone who has been tyrannical and hard to get along with. He joked, "Speaking of which, I only feel I am even more of a bully!"
