Eason Chan (陳奕迅) and Kelly Chen (陳慧琳) attended a Samsung Olympic Torch Bearers event today and met some of the people who would be carrying the torch as it reaches Hong Kong on its travels around the world towards Beijing.
The movie filming for The Kingdom And Beauty was completed and Kelly had laughed that she is thankful to be in one piece. Although the work was tough, she could not bear to part with the crew after completion. She had even hugged the director and cried on the final day of shooting. What was the most difficult task for the filming? She said that she needed to go into the water under freezing temperatures. She recalled that while she was filming in the desert, she saw many military tanks and soldiers walking past. She guessed that they could be secretly watching the filming. Earlier news mentioned that Ada Choi was taken advantage by movie extras while filming in China. For Kelly's movie, there are also many scenes of thousands of soldiers. When asked if she had a similar experience, she replied that she had not encountered them as she does not have any scenes together except for one doing a lion dance. Prior to that the director had warned everyone not to touch her. In a scene in the water, Kelly had to jump into a 2 meter deep pool. As her swimming skills was not fantastic, she needed people to help to bring her to the shore. Unexpectedly, the director cried to everyone not to touch her. At that time, Kelly was thinking that it was not the main problem even if she was taken advantage during that time!
Kelly admitted that filming day and night has been very tiring and as well as large battle scenes featuring thousands of soldiers and horses, there were also some scenes filmed in water. She had to grow very accustomed to her horse in the hope that it behaved during shoots. On one occasion she fell from her horse and the injury left a scar on her arm, which fortunately is starting to fade. Kelly said: "Although it does not hurt any more, it is a bit ugly. In the film, I had to wear very grand armour and perform fighting scenes with Donnie Yen (甄子丹). It was quite good, but I had to be careful during filming not to aggrevate my previous injuries."
Although Kelly had got a number of injuries while filming the movie, she admitted that she will take on more action movies in the future if there is a chance. She said that she was surprised to see herself looking fearsome while fighting dressed in armor. Wouldn't her boyfriend be worried? She excitedly said that whenever he visits her and sees her fighting, he is also interested to get involved. She displayed her pole skills in front of her boyfriend last night and it frightened him. The reporters laughed that he was not fit to be her opponent. Kelly immediately agreed as he had already retreated when he saw her with the pole.
Whilst she was filming in Beijing, Kelly's boyfriend, Alex Lau (劉建浩), did go and visit her on set. She said that he went to see her once and originally had planned to go again, but she told him not to bother because the facilities there were very poor. She laughed that when her boyfriend saw her filming fighting scenes, he wanted to take part in it too and she scared him when she demonstrated her martial arts staff skills at home.

Finally Kelly's done filming "The Kingdome & The Beauty". Can't wait to see that movie. I wonder how would Kelly look in ancient clothes? Kelly looks so pretty in that dress too, I love her hair. I hope she'll be having more songs now that she's done filming.
