Instead of "Kung Fu 2", he will shoot "Mermaid 2"! Stephen Chow is casting for the female lead

Recently, photos from the audition event for "The Mermaid 2" were exposed on the Internet. The preparations for Stephen Chow's new work have now started. At the same time, the drama version of "The Mermaid" will also start shooting in 2018.

The plot of "The Mermaid 2" was revealed in the SARFT's movie script approval notice in March this year (part 1). Compared with the previous film's saintly environmentalist character setting and the fulfillment of a child's dream, Stephen Chow went further this time and wanted to play "real science fiction".

The story is about: Long Tianna and Long Jianfei appear with the "Wormhole Plan" that can travel through space at will. Liu Xuan returns to the business world because of this, and the mermaid Shanshan accidentally becomes an astronaut. Behind the increasingly entangled relationship between the four corners, there is a shocking conspiracy.

During the Shanghai Film Festival in June this year, Yang Zhenhua, chairman of Shanghai New Culture Media Group, and Stephen Chow announced that they would jointly develop TV series versions of "The Mermaid" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and the variety show "Star Mermaid" was also put on the agenda.

However, the cast of "Mermaid 2" has yet to be officially announced, and it is unknown whether Deng Chao, Lin Yun, Luo Zhixiang and other original cast members will be used. But one thing is certain, that is, Stephen Chow will not start filming "Kung Fu 2" in the near future, let alone act again.
