Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Lau Ching Wan, Zhou Xun and Yan Ni starred in THE GREAT MAGICIAN (DAI MOR SHOOK SI).  The film in a humorous way stated that as long as you believe and persist, dreams could come true.  In a movie shoot scene, Ching Wan's third concubine Yan Ni was in a bubble bath.  Ching Wan directed for the first in the film.

At the director's chair Ching Wan had the director's power in the film.  When asked when he would direct, Ching Wan humbly said that he did not have the talent for it.  On the set, Yan Ni had a bubble bath scene.  In the film a guy also took advantage of her in the bubble bath and her husband Ching Wan was steaming.  Early in the shoot preparation in order to create the bubble effect the crew used a lot of soap.  Yet because they used too much, Yan Ni almost drowned in the bubbles.  Her call for help made the crew laugh as they rushed to save her from the bubbles.  Ching Wan did not know whether to laugh or to cry.  "THE GREAT MAGICIAN's set truly has crouching tiger hidden dragon, even the crew knew magic.  I sat further away and saw more and more bubbles, in a flash they covered her."
