After ‘Kung Fu Dunk’ achieved great commercial success, male lead Jay Chou, and director Zhu Yan Ping will collaborate once again to film ‘Ci Ling’. However, this film brings together a new pairing: Jay Chou + Lin Zhi Ling. Can be said as most cool + most beautiful combination!

‘Ci Ling’ tells a story of time and space shuttle, and it will combine magic and comedy elements. In ‘Kung Fu Dunk’, Jay showed off his basketball skills, but in this adventure film, he will display a different style of basketball technology. However, Director Zhu revealed that in this film, Lin Zhi Ling will have a completely new image, and compared to before, her role will have a major breakthrough. Director Zhu hopes to dirty up Lin Zhi Ling, and make her more rough, to display an image outside of her normal beauty. And Lin Zhi Ling seems to not completely understand her character yet, she expressed that if she has any martial arts scene, she will be very willing to learn. However, it’s a pity that Director Zhu expressed that this time, Lin Zhi Ling will play a book-writer, but if next time there is the opportunity, he will definitely make Lin Zhi Ling’s wish come true.

On the other hand, Jay Chou has more acting experience compared to Lin Zhi Ling, and he who has always been confident half-jokingly said that he hopes this film will head towards a $300million goal.

Spoiler

Yesterday the female lead to the new movie "Ci Ling" starring Jay Chou and being directed by Zhu Yan Ping was announced, the latest "J Girl" is going to be Lin Chi Ling. In the movie Jay Chou and Lin Chi Ling are going to play a pair of joyful foes, they fall in love while searching for treasure, but as to whether there will be any kissing scenes or bed scenes? Zhu Yan Ping held back and said you'll find out later.

The adventure action comedy movie "Ci Ling" is the second movie Zhu Yan Ping and Jay Chou are working together on after "Kung Fu Dunk", even though before Jay Chou expressed he hoped Mainland China female star Zhou Xun would get together for a "Double Chou combination", but at the end Lin Chi Ling came out top. Yesterday the press conference for the movie was held in Beijing, in order to introduce the mysterious female lead, Jay Chou performed some magic publicly, he let the presenter pick the two cards "7 of hearts" and "Queen of heart", to represent the female lead "Chi Ling" and the movie name "Ci Ling" with the similar pronunciation.

Director Zhu Yang Ping joked that when they were choosing female leads, Jay Chou only had one condition, that was the female lead cannot be taller than him, after a survey, Jay Chou was indeed taller than Lin Chi Ling by 0.5cm, everyone was very satisfied. Lin Chi Ling likes to listen to Jay Chou's songs, she said in her heart Jay Chou is a gifted man, not only is he filial, he knows how to do magic as well, it's amazing, he's got a lot of talent.

In "Ci Ling" Jay Chou plays a ruffian with a pretty good family background, there will also be many action scenes. For this Jay Chou has been diligent with practise, he said smiling, he's just turned 30 so he's too old, he has to train his strength again so he's already started exercising, running, he's even working harder than he was when holding concerts.

Collaborated for the first time and sang praises for one another, Jay Chou was only 1cm taller than Lin Chi Ling

Jay Chou and Lin Chi Ling would be collaborating in the new movie <Ci Ling 刺陵> as a couple, yesterday a press conference was held in Beijing, and the two was in the limelight again, Jay disclosed that he won’t collaborate with any female leads taller than him, luckily he was 1cm taller than Lin Chi Ling, thus the height wasn’t a problem!

Yesterday, Lin Chi Ling and Jay Chou were in Beijing and a press conference for the few billion dollar movie <Ci Ling> was held, Jay transformed into a magician and performed magic, and made the female lead, Lin Chi Ling, appeared, after that, Lin Chi Ling became his magician assistant and warmed up before they collaborated in the movie!

During the interview, both of them praised each other, Lin Chi Ling praised Jay Chou as a talented person, she said: “In my heart, Jay Chou is a talented person, he is filial and he can performed magic, and did a good job too, he’s too great! I really look forward in collaborating with him, he is very creative and very talented!” As for Jay, he praised that Bridgette is a dream woman for all the guys, he was really looking forward to collaborate with her, but what he mind about the female lead is that she must not be taller than him, the media was really concerned about who was the taller of the two. Jay disclosed that he was 1cm taller than Bridgette, thus it wasn’t a problem.


Only wear Flats

Because their difference in height was only 1cm, Lin Chi Ling purposely wore flats, when the crew took their height seriously at the conference, they found out that the soles for Lin Chi Ling’s shoes was 0.5cm, thus Jay only won her by 0.5cm, Bridgette also teased and said that Jay was the tallest male lead that she had collaborated in movies, and she really looked serious about it!

Other than that, <Ci Ling> is a combination of seeking treasure, action, love and also comedy, although the movie had not been filmed, Emperor Group had already managed to get the distribution rights in Hong Kong.

^ yea, it is. the translation is wrong. ive checked the chinese article plus the picture. im pretty positive its Lin Chi Ling. besides, Brigette would be too old for Jay to be a couple together anyway

i really do not know Bridgette Lin but i am very attracted with this article. my goodness. she's so tall. the 1cm difference of their height seems like unnoticeable at all. i imagine that if we look at them together, seems like Bridgette is WAYYYY TALL than jay. woo. what a tall woman. i am amazed with her height.

the pretty lady is Lin Zhi Ling,cant wait to see the Jay and Zhi Ling in the movie together...i'll support Jay til the end of the world

Oops sorry everyone..I read the name wrongly..Edited already..so sorry for the mistake..

Personally I dont think Lin Chi Ling and Jay would make a nice couple..If Lin Chi Ling was to wear heels she would make Jay look really short..

hey Firesheepy I merged your topic with mine cuz I already posted this yesterday

hehe and yeah if u look reali closely Jay is actually wearing heels haha XD

yay i like them both alot!!!
cant wait for this show :B

when is it coming out?
