To boost Raymond Lam Fung’s popularity in television, film, and music, TVB allowed him to star in two consecutive movies, The Emerald and the Pearl <翡翠明珠> and Perfect Wedding <抱抱俏佳人>. Recently, TVB secured a heavy-weight role in the upcoming $200 million (HKD) Jet Li film, The Legend of White Snake <白蛇傳>.
Funded by Eva Huang Sheng Yi’s boyfriend, Yang Tze’s entertainment company, The Legend of White Snake started filming in early September. Eva will be playing the role of White Snake, Charlene Choi will play Green Snake, and Jet Liwill portray the monk, Fat Hoi. Allegedly, Raymond Lam will play the lead role of Hui Sin and share a romantic relationship with Eva.
The role of Hui Sin will have equal screen time as White Snake. As a result, many young actors such as Ethan Ruan Jing Tian, Peter Ho Jun Tung, and Mark Zhao Wen Ting were interested in the role. The film company decided to cast Raymond since he was the most popular in China among the young actors,
When Appledaily contacted The Legend of White Snake’s director, Ching Siu Tung, he said, “We signed a confidentiality agreement; it is best to contact the film company with any questions.” Mr. Ching denied that the film will be filmed in 3D. Regarding Raymond Lam joining the cast, Mr. Ching said, “It has not been finalized yet. Raymond Lam is currently busy with other projects. We have to see if the schedule works out.”
Due to Raymond’s neck injury earlier, he was hospitalized for two days. After leaving the hospital, he immersed in the filming of TVB series, The Colorful World of Sister Fa <花花世界花家姐> with Charmaine Sheh Si Man. “This week, I will be filming inside the TVB studio, so it will not be very strenuous. I have to film a movie in China afterwards. It may be necessary for me to engage in some action sequences. I will have to be careful.”
Did Raymond ask for adequate rest? “Each year, I will submit a vacation request. However, each time, the vacation is cancelled due to additional work. Right now, my schedule is busy until next year.”
