Director Teddy Chan Tak Sum held a press conference for his new book "Pawn Shop of Life" yesterday, Bowie Wu Fung, Chin Kar Lok, Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui and Lee Lung Kei were present to support him. He revealed that he published the film novel to present the long-created script in another form. "Some scripts are backlogged at the bottom of the drawer, and I have not found an investor to start filming. During the pandemic I met a group of like-minded creative writers to turn the script into a novel, which can protect copyrights, prevent idea theft from happening again. In the future should the opportunity present itself its rights could be sold again for its big screen adaptation."
Chan Tak Sum said that he has been preparing for the action film 1941 to raise fund for the Hong Kong Stuntmen Association to help the aging action actors without any saving. "I would produce, Chin Kar Lok would direct, (Louis) Koo Tin Lok, (Nick) Cheung Ka Fai, (Charmaine) Sheh Sze Man and (Daniel Wu) Ng Yin Cho would star, along with (Sammo) Hung Kam Bo, Yuen Biao, Yuen Qiu, (Andy) Lau Tak Wah, Tsui Hark and Yuen Woo Ping, members of YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) and INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH). Jackie Chan, (Jet Li) Lee Nin Kit and (Donnie) Yen Chi Tan was considering it." He said that the script has been under inspection and funding would not be a problem. The film would shoot on location in Hong Kong and the mainland at the end of the year.
Chin Kar Lok said that the production team would mainly consist of local staff, hoping to push Hong Kong action films to new heights. The Hong Kong Stuntmen Association president for a 6th consecutive term, he said that has already "climbed to six" and received his JoyYou card. He has planned to complete this term and hand the baton to the young people to take over. "The affiliated organization has applied for government assistance and would organize Hong Kong stunt actor training class that would give graduates internships on 1941."
