Jiang Wen's new film LET THE BULLETS FLY two nights ago held a promotion in Cannes. Overseas film companies and media crowded into the small venue, many came on their own without any invitation. Jiang Wen's numerous French friends also came and nearly double the venue occupancy. Venice Film Festival chair Marco Muller and famous director Jia Zhangke also came.

Jiang Wen and Marco Muller have known each other since Marco Muller recommended Jiang Wen's debut as a director IN THE HEAT OF THE SUN for the Venice Film Festival. He then used Chinese to sing "Without you how can film festivals happen". Director Jia Zhangke revealed that earlier he had to guest star in a role and felt very happy. Yet after awhile, Jiang Wen changed his character into a woman.

This film enabled three top Chinese film actors Jiang Wen, Chow Yun Fat and Ge You to face off on screen. Fat Gor in the trailer had five or six costumes and lit up the screen. The film's actresses are worth mentioning: Zhou Yun looked valiant with a gun, Carina Lau Ka Ling was charming, Bai Bing flashed by in a sexy costume. The rumored Ge You and Ka Ling passion scene showed parts of itself. Ka Ling laid by the head board while Ge You could not wait to leap over. The violent scenes were just as bloody as the earlier released poster. Jiang Wen chopped madly at the camera. After blood splashed his white shirt Jiang Wen raised his sword to the sky and looked very cool.
