Is the actor in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" too old? Wong Jing responded: Raymond Lam is just the right age

After the casting of Wong Jing's new version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was announced, some netizens were dissatisfied. Some people thought that the 40-year-old Raymond Lam was too old to play Zhang Wuji. In response to this, Wong Jing responded to the controversial casting in a live broadcast. Wong Jing said that Zhang Wuji appeared in his 30s, so Raymond Lam's age was just right, and he was also very good at action scenes.

In the 1993 version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Qiu Shuzhen played Xiao Zhao. Netizens speculated whether the new version of Xiao Zhao might be played by Qiu Shuzhen's daughter Shen Yue. Wang Jing denied this: "I think I'd better use professional actors."

The new version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will continue the plot of the previous work and tell the story of Zhang Wuji going to Dadu to find Zhao Min. It is currently being filmed and the release date is to be determined.
