Wong Jing's new version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" started filming in Xinchang, Zhejiang Province

1.6 Update:

In the early morning of January 6, director Wong Jing himself posted a message on Weibo to refute the rumors about the "start of filming", complaining: "Why do so many people like to send messages for me? I was at the Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong today, and everyone saw me, so how can they say I went to film? That's bullshit!" It can be said that from casting to the start of filming, Director Wong Jing has been on the road of refuting rumors.

Original report:

The new version of Wang Jing's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has started shooting at the Nineteen Peaks Scenic Area in Xinchang, Zhejiang. The film will be shot at many places in the Chongyang Palace Film and Television Base, and attractions such as the Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Yue Lao Temple will appear in the subsequent film.

Previously, there were rumors on the Internet that the cast of the 2020 version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" will be as strong as before, including Raymond Lam as Zhang Wuji, Louis Koo as Wuji's father Zhang Cuishan, Donnie Yen as Zhang Sanfeng, and Xu Jinjiang as the Golden Lion King, etc. However, Wong Jing personally responded on Weibo on December 26 last year, saying that the news came from an "unreliable Hong Kong newspaper" and that he himself was still thinking about the casting, "If it is decided, I will announce it one by one."
