"The King of Comedy" Stephen Chow Sing Chi's new film, which has been in preparation for more than 1 year, started production in Shenzhen the day before yesterday. A large number of advertisements for "paying to visit the set" appeared on the Internet, claiming the opportunity to take photos with actors in the film Zhang Yixing and Dilraba; of course they were all false! On the day of the production start, fake work permits even appeared on the set as more than a dozen people wanted to sneak onto the set to chase stars. Fortunately the security guards found them in time to ensure the safety of the production team!

As the world is on the decline, fake tickets of star concerts would appear from time to time. No one would have imagined that even the set would have fake work permits! Chow Sing Chi's new film WOMEN'S SOCCER (tentative name) started production in Shenzhen the day before yesterday. Reportedly many of the leads Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba, Zhang Yixing, etc. all appeared. Dilraba also shared photos of working in Shenzhen a few days ago. Because the production team has ordered the cast and the crew to keep confidentiality on any news about the film, the film started production in a low-key manner. The crew must have a work permit to enter and exit the set, and even the vehicle entry and exit must have the certification documents issued by the crew before being released. Efforts to keep confidentiality work had to done to their fullest. However, the day before yesterday more than a dozen people with fake work permits tried to enter the set. Fortunately the security spotted them on time, questioned them and drove them away.

In addition to unknown people who want to infiltrate the set, a large number of "advertisements" about the film have appeared on social platforms recently. They indicated that they could arrange set visits and take one-on-one photos with the actors in the film for a fee starting from 1,000 yuan, but they have been proved to be fraudulent. Some online reported that they were tricked into the shoot location, but the fraudsters did not show up in the end so luckily there was no monetary loss.

Chow Sing Chi's movies have always liked to promote amateur actors, such as Eva Huang Shengyi of KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU), Kitty Zhang Yuqi of CJ7 (CHEUNG GONG 7 HO) and Lin Yun of MERMAID (MEI YUN YU). He held a large-scale audition for the film in Taiwan last year, and selected the top 6. Now the film has started filming, after a one- on-one interviews with Chow Sing Chi the new "Sing Girl" was finally born. She is known as the "sweet version of Shu Qi", Isabelle Zhang Tianyi. With 40-inch long legs and a beautiful appearance, she is quite similar to Lin Yun; who was accused of looking like Shu Qi in her debut, both in appearance and body shape. Reportedly Lin Yun, who still maintains a friendly relationship with Chow Sing Chi after the expiration of her contract, may also make a cameo appearance. The old and new "Jing Girls" have a great chance to be on the same set. Zhang Tianyi happily posted on social platforms about becoming the lucky one. "A dream that seems unattainable, hard work makes it possible to realize. Everyone, let's go!" She pointed out that her parents have always encouraged her not to give up on pursuing her dreams, and now they have finally come true.

Due to the lack of an official announcement, it is still a mystery whether Dilraba, Zhang Xiaofei and Zhang Yixing, and many top mainland stars would be starring or guest starring. There is a lot of news on the Internet that Zhang Xiaofei is the "female lead" and Dilraba is only a support player, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many Dilraba fans. They angrily pointed out that before the production team has not made an official announcement yet, so no one should not be spreading rumors!
