June 22nd was Stephen Chow's 63rd birthday, and his highly anticipated new film "Kung Fu Girls" gave movie fans a special "birthday gift". The film's official Weibo was officially launched on the same day, and a behind-the-scenes video was released. Stephen Chow himself appeared on the scene and revealed: "July 10th or July 17th, it will be held in July anyway!"
"Kung Fu Girls" is directed and written by Stephen Chow. It is the first time that he has tackled the kung fu football theme after more than 20 years since his 2001 classic "Shaolin Soccer". The film combines kung fu and football elements to tell the passionate story of a women's football team named "Team Emei" as they compete in the Women's AFC Champions League - from being initially disfavored, to uniting after experiencing internal differences and external challenges, and finally counterattacking and winning the championship.
According to previously exposed information and online materials, the film’s starring cast is star-studded, bringing together many popular actors:
Zhang Xiaofei as Captain "Shuangshuang"
Zhang Yixing as Senior Brother "Xu Feng"
Dilmurat Dilraba as "Yulong"
Song Kanghao as referee
In addition, actors such as former women's football national football team Zhao Lina, former women's football national football team Li Jiayue, and Xu Jiao also joined the cast.
The official released a promotional picture hand-drawn by Stephen Chow at the same time. The picture contains elements of kung fu and football, continuing his usual nonsensical style. Currently, the film is still in the intense post-production sprint stage, and the final release date is July 10 or July 17, pending official final confirmation.
