By admin on 2014-12-30

"Koshihikari Treasure Box" is co-produced by the Pearl River Film Group, Beijing Galloping Horse Film and TV Production, amongst others. It's a romantic comedy involving elements of time travel. Ronald Cheng (Hong Kong) and Susan (Chinese mainland) are the male and female leads respectively.

The film begins with Cheng's escapes from a marriage, where she travels through the worlds of different well-known Chinese films. The main part of the storyline will be set in the world of the John Woo directed film "Red Cliff". Gillian Chung plays Sun Shangxiang, who is Liu Bei's wife in the original movie.

The difference is that Sun is no longer Bei's wife. In this version, she's married to Zhao Yun, who is played by Ronald Cheng. Cheng's real-life partner is Charlene Choi, Chung's good friend and former bandmate. Is this the director's way of taking a dig at Cheng? No one knows.
