Monday March 12, 2007 China Jacky Wu wants to give Charlene an unforgettable kiss in Slam Dunk Slam Dunk's "let the filming begin" function was held yesterday in Shanghai, leading stars that attended include: Charlene, Jay, Bo-Lin, Eric Tsang, Jacky Wu, Richard Ng, etc. The press conference attracted near 300 reporters and the function itself used almost a million dollars RMB, a very large production indeed. There were rumors before that Yao Ming might be a guest star, but it is confirmed that he won't be appearing in the movie. Jay's character is one that will go through a lot before becoming a successful basketball player; Charlene's character is not a typical girl and is the basketball team's manager. Eric acts as Jay's father, mainland actor Wang Gang will be Jay's teacher. Jacky's character is a mystery, but he revealed that it's his real story put on screen. Besides being male lead, Jay will also be in charge of the movie's music production. He also said that he feels awkward to have "virgin" describing his character, so he requested the use of "single" instead. The filming had already begun in Pudong, the filming is planned to be finished in two months and post-production be done by the end of the year. Then it will be passed on to get approval to be Beijing Olympics' "spokes-movie," the first thing that will help promote the Olympic Games. All the actors said similar wishes for the movie during the function, but when the microphone landed in Jacky's hands, he immediately unfolded his comical skills. He joked that he has to thank the director for giving him a chance to have a kiss scene with Charlene and that he'll give her an unforgettable moment. Then some time later in the press conference, he said that it's just a beautiful dream and gave implication for Jay to let him have the chance. By Jacky's implications, it seems that Jay and Charlene will be having a kissing scene. The crew were filming yesterday also, Jay only wore a jersey during the cold less-than-10-degrees-Celsius Shanghai morning, but couldn't bear it at the end and put on a jacket. The scene yesterday was about how Jay practices his basketball skills and physical strength, using a chain to pull a car, practicing ball passes. As lead actress, of course Charlene had to be there too. Jay said that he's very lucky to be able to film a movie on basketball and that he's been happily filming. He also said that he's not afraid of doggy reporters here because rumors will definitely not fly around here. credits: mingpao, asianfanatics.
