Stephen Chow's new film "The New King of Comedy" is scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The first poster is released

Stephen Chow's work "The New King of Comedy" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2019. Today, the official released a hand-painted teaser poster and three on-set photos.

The film company did not give more information about the film's main cast and story content, but from a report by Hong Kong media in October this year, it was learned that due to the short production cycle, Stephen Chow's role this time was no longer a director but a supervisor. The director was Herman Yau, who had directed "Shock Wave". He is well-known in the industry for his fast filming speed, so he was able to wrap up the filming smoothly before December and had two months to prepare for post-production. Hong Kong media also reported that the film's male lead is Wang Baoqiang, and "Star Girl" Lin Yun also stars in the film.

How is "The New King of Comedy" different from the "King of Comedy" that influenced countless people 20 years ago? The key lies in the word "new". In order to let the audience get a brand new surprise from this film 20 years later, Stephen Chow started writing the script three years ago and was also looking for suitable actors. Only when everything was ready did he start to work on this new film that he had been thinking about.

It is worth mentioning that the science fiction films "The Wandering Earth", "Crazy Alien" and "Detective Pu Songling " starring Wu Jing were also released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
