Last night, Leon and Kelly Chen hosted the premiere of their music video to the film An Empress And The Warriors. It attracted hundreds of fans and spectators. Body armors worn by the two in the film were on display. When Kelly was posing for photographs, the helmet armor almost fell down. Leon and Kelly shared their filming process onstage. The most difficult was filming under 40°C heat while wearing body armor. They can only film a short period of time and remove the armor to release heat. Leon even caught a cold once.
Leon smiled and said that this can't be labeled as the most laborious film, because his life is not over yet. Accepting this film, he already prepared for laborious work, but working with Kelly sparked. Everyone had tacit understanding, and everything went smoothly. After finishing the ancient film in hot weather, he went to film Mei Lanfang in Shanghai where winter is cold like Hokkaido as described by him. Because Gillian Chung's involvement in the sex photos scandal which affected her image, it was reported that her scenes in Lanfang were cut. Regarding this, Leon expressed that he doesn't know and had finished filming already. All filming completed smoothly at the end of February.
A lot of things happened in the showbiz in the past couple of months. Leon was not in HK, but he was aware of the things that happened. Asked if he contacted Gillian, he said, "I, Leon, don't participate in discussion forums." As for Lydia Shum's memorial event the day before, he was not able to attend due to work committment but sent a wreath. He said, "Sister Fei should be very happy. A lot of people went to the HK Coliseum. Many people care about her and Joyce Cheng. I hope Joyce is strong. She went through a rough path. It's very difficult until today. She did very well on all aspects. Sister Fei is very intelligent and well-respected senior."
Another report said Leon bought a $60 million dollar house for his marriage in New Territory. He denied it and said, "No, don't need to buy a house for marriage. Until then, I will let you know."
Kelly wore a pretty pearl-colored dress showing her beautiful legs. Although it was laborious filming, she feels it's fine if the outcome is beautiful shown on the silver screen. The most unforgettable part in the film is when she was chased by an army and jumping in the water. As she lost her breath after running away, she did not have enough air after jumping in the water. The crew thought she was absorbed in filming, so they didn't pay attention. After looking again, they discovered it didn't look right so cut was called. She smiled and said that it wasn't too harmful but only swallowed some water. Asked if working with Leon did he provided any golden quotes, she said seriously, "He probably said many, but I don't get them. He talked about everything from cars, eating, tai chi, and personal opinions."
