Hong Kong actor Francis Ng Chun Yu said that the 3D effects in the coming Chinese thriller, "The House That Never Dies," will wow theater-goers.
"Hello. I'm Francis Ng Chun Yu. I played two roles in the film, namely Huo Lianxiu and Zhao Yitang. Stories happening in 1910s are more like stage play; while the stories happening in modern time are more close to real life because the people that I contact with are from publishing house. The have their ways of expressing themselves. It's a 3D thriller film. I hope audiences could feel the thrilling better."
Raymond Yip, the movie's director, was joined by Yu and actor Tony Yang from Taiwan at a press conference for the film in Beijing on July 4th.
