CF: Tang Wei Fishing in "Wu Xia"
"Wu Xia" released a batch of new still photos featuring Tang Wei.
Olive Oyl?

Supposedly, a love scene between Tang Wei and Donnie Yen was cut from the film. The scene was in the film's opening 20 minutes and is marked by an abrupt edit. When questioned by reporters, Peter Chan confirmed it but said it was due to storytelling needs. The fishing scene with Tang Wei was not originally in the script but added to increase Tang Wei's screen time. Peter Chan also noted that Tang Wei reminded him of Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl (!). Years ago, he named Maggie Cheung's character in his first film, Alan and Eric: Between Hello and Goodbye, Olive. (Xinhua), (Sina), (21cn)

Ray added, "Everyone used the same excuse to claim that it was due to a car accident. But, why would wounds from such accidents leave only a small scar on the chin? The scar appeared when Xiaoming got into an accident, and likewise for Lee Hom!"

re: Tony Leung as Sun Yat-Sen.
I think Francis should play Sun Yat-Sen! Though he probably couldn't be trusted to approach the role with the dignity that the filmmakers require.

re: Fan Bing Bing. Her anime eyes have always scared me.

I thought I've read that Fan Bing Bing has admitted to having some work done. I don't think she needed to, but that's my opinion.

I also think Elva (who has admitted she got her eyelids done) didn't need that procedure either.

At least none of them look like Joan Rivers... yet!!!! 8-O!!!!
