Stephen Chow is unfazed by threats
13 Sep – Despite movie producer Tiffany Chen's legal threat, actor-turned-filmmaker Stephen Chow seemed unfazed with the recent issue that stemmed from an article written about his personal life and career, and continued his focus on the casting progress of his upcoming film "Mermaid".
According to a report on HK Top Ten, the director, who was given ten days to clarify the infamous article that made allegations about Charles Heung's ties with the mob, clearly has not been affected at all by the threats or even the backlash from other celebrities.
Concentrating his full attention on the pre-production of his upcoming film, Stephen will also be attending the next elimination round to find the perfect girl to play his mermaid.
Meanwhile, 13 actresses who have been selected for the next stage of the audition have begun the special mermaid training at a Shenzhen hotel.
Actress Barbie Liu, one of the actresses selected for the next stage of audition, said that the training was quite difficult, as they had to learn to swim using only their hips and legs like a mermaid. However, she is confident with her talent to get through to the next round.
Four will be chosen from the elimination round and only one will finally get the coveted role in the end.
