Part 2:

The main reason for the production team to feature Mahjong as the main theme is because it is a well-loved game among the Chinese families. The director, Adrian郑建国 said that Mahjong can improve the interactions between people.

According to Chapman, he and Mark will be playing characters who are learning how to play Mahjong from Eric Tsang’s character. Mark will then become the Mahjong King while he will be a retired Mahjong player who went on his life being a hawker.

It is definitely a good combination for having both Chapman and Mark for the movie. Mark said that when two “bad” comes together, there will definitely be a lot of interesting stuffs that could happen during the filming process.

Mark said he is quite similar to Chapman due to recent issues that happened to Chapman. However, Mark said that his condition is better than Chapman because he doesn’t know how to play Facebook like Chapman does. Chapman then joked that, “没脑不用紧,最重要是不要玩电脑!(It’s okay to not have brain, but remember don’t play with computer!)

As all of us know, Lenna is the winner for Miss Astro Chinese Pageant. This is a new attempt for her as she will be playing a character which will be a little bit different from her usual image as a Miss Astro. She will be acting as Mark’s assistant.

“King Of Mahjong” is expected to be screened during first quarter of 2015!
