Racing with Edison Chen, competing in looks and coolness Jay Chou acts in âInitial Dâ for his first time on the silver screen Fans from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan gaze with eager expectation, looking forward to admiring Jay filming his first maiden film, at last this wish can finally be realized next year. Because next year Tsui Hark is going to start filming the movie version of âInitial Dâ, the male lead Takumi Fujiwara will be played by Jay, Takumi Fujiwaraâs opponent Ryosuke Takahashi will be played by Edison Chen. Taiwanese popular artist Jay has always had a lot of film companies trying to lure him, hoping that they could successfully invite him to star his maiden film, itâs a shame they havenât succeeded. According to reliable sources in Taiwan, Jay was finally moved by the sincerity of Media Asia Films boss Lin Jian Yue and director Tsui Hark, he promised to accept starring in new film âInitial Dâ next year for the price of HK$4,000,000. âInitial Dâ is adapted from the same named Japanese comic, due to the fact that this comic was very popular in Hong Kong and Japan, it has a lot of loyal fans and Tsui Hark is one of these fans so before the year he already planned to start filming the movie version but it was a pity he couldnât find a suitable person all along. Until Tsui Hark discovered Jay had a unique temperament, they chose him to play the male lead role of Takumi Fujiwara. Accelerate! Loyal car fanâs driving skill is good Jay himself is a car fan, usually he likes to drive a Jaguar instead of walking, as soon as there is a new car released, he would go to the vehicle shop to test drive. Due to the fact Jayâs driving skill is good, the Taiwanese paparazzi can hardly ever follow him, he should be no stranger to this comic character Takumi Fujiwara. This time starring in âInitial Dâ, it can certainly let Jay satisfy his driving fast craving. Overtake! Cost too high, Media Asia Films take over As for the other male lead in the comic Ryosuke Takahashi, Media Asia Films intend to get Edison Chen to play him, the twoâs share of the film is going to be very equal. And the role of Takumi Fujiwaraâs girlfriend, they plan to get a Japanese or Korean female star to play her. Apart from this Stephen Fung will play another driver Iwaki Seiji. A few years ago Andy Lauâs Tian Mu Company intended to film âInitial Dâ, Edison Chen to play the male lead of Takumi Fujiwara and Andy Lau to play Takumi Fujiwaraâs father Bunta Fujiwara, but because the film cost was too high, the result was that the plan was shelved. Afterwards Media Asia Films became interested in the film and they invited Tsui Hark to direct it, at the moment Tsui Hark is sorting out the script, they are considering again the candidates. The film âInitial Dâ talks about the lead Takumi Fujiwara who from the start of middle school was told to deliver tofu early in the morning by his father Bunta Fujiwara, whose fast driving skills are unfathomable. Without change, unconsciously Takumi Fujiwaraâs driving skill was already trained by his father to an impressive level, afterwards Takumi Fujiwara also drove the Toyota AE86 sports car to challenge race car driver master Ryosuke Takahashi and Iwaki Seiji, etc⦠Take position! First do guest star to satisfy craving There is no lack to exciting racing scenes in âInitial Dâ, recently Tsui Hark already went to Japan to choose scenery, apart from filming real driving fast camera shots, they will also use special effects to add to the effect of speeding. According to reports the cost of the film is about $6,000,000 (HK$47,000,000), apart from Media Asia Films, there is also a Japanese film company filming it together. Edison Chen who is in England filming a new movie for Mainland China director Ah Gan, yesterday said over a long distance call: âBefore the company already notified me that I need to start filming this movie, I know this movie has two male leads, the movie share is equal but Iâm not clear which role Iâm playing, I will know when I come back on the 12th (tomorrow) and find out from the company, Iâm already very happy to be able to film a big movie, Iâll let the director arrange the roles! I actually havenât seen this comic before, I need to take time out to look at it when I get back.â
