The Assassin and Mark Of Youth helmer Billy Chung is arriving this Friday in Chinese cinemas with a new period war drama in the midst. Bringing forward a new variant on a 1958 film classic, Eternal Wave promises a new variant on the tale which centers its 1930-set tale here of two Chinese agents who orchestrate fake a marriage in order to rebuild communications in the wake of Japan’s occupation of Shanghai.
Film duo Wong Jing and Billy Chung, with shared credits including as Kung Fu Mahjong, Colour Of The Loyalty and My Schoolmate, The Barbarian, have paired up once more with the new action adventure, The Golden Monk. The two direct with Jing taking on a producer role for a sprawling fantasy with the likes of actor Ryan Zheng (So Young, Running Man) and actress Kitty Zhang (CJ7, The Mermaid) leading the cast.
The film paves the way for an epic tale of self-discovery for a monk who sets out to find his one true fairy love after learning he’s the reincarnation of a fairy spirit once cast down from heaven. We now have our first teaser for the film which opens in China on September 30, hailing from Beijing Hairun Pictures and Mega-Vision Project Workshop. Check it out below along with the latest poster.
