Wang Baoqiang and Lin Yun are working together! Hong Kong media revealed that Stephen Chow is filming "The King of Comedy 2"

According to Hong Kong media reports, Stephen Chow was recently revealed to be filming "The King of Comedy 2" in mainland China. The film will be directed by Hong Kong director Herman Yau and starred by Wang Baoqiang, Yao Chen, Lin Yun and others, which can be said to be quite a mix.

It is said that Stephen Chow's Mermaid 2 was originally scheduled to be released during the 2019 Lunar New Year holiday, but because it used a lot of special effects and the post-production took too long to catch up with the release date, he was unwilling to give up this golden period and immediately decided to shoot The King of Comedy 2. He started preparing for the film in 2015, the script was completed, and the actors were quickly finalized. Currently, the filming is underway in the mainland, and he is striving to complete the film within 3 months. In response, Stephen Chow's company spokesperson said "no response", and director Herman Yau did not respond either.

Wang Baoqiang has been developing rapidly in the film industry in recent years. He has made more than 25 movies with a cumulative box office of more than 10 billion yuan. The two movies he released this year, "Detective Chinatown 2" and "A Good Show", raked in 4.8 billion yuan.

It is reported that it was rumored in the early years that Wang Baoqiang wanted to cooperate with Stephen Chow. He had learned Kung Fu in Shaolin Temple and even recommended himself to shoot "Kung Fu 2", but it ultimately did not happen.

It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, Lin Yun uploaded several photos on Weibo of herself doing her hair while reading the script, which is suspected to be the start of work on a new movie. Since Stephen Chow has always been low-key, he must have issued a gag order to the crew, so Lin Yun censored the script.
