Recently, 163 has revealed the secrets of the casting process for the upcoming film adaptation of The Legend of the Condor Heroes from 2006. At the time, participating in a martial arts work based on Jin Yong’s novels was a significant opportunity for any actor.
According to 163, the talented actor Daniel Chan was chosen by the producers to portray the character Yang Guo. At that time, Daniel Chan was a highly sought-after star, well-known far beyond the Hong Kong film industry. With his handsome appearance and charismatic charm, he bears a striking resemblance to the character Yang Guo. Born in 1980, he recently made headlines with his role in the film New Police Story.
Beyond his looks, Daniel Chan’s performance has been highly rated compared to other popular actors like Huynh Hieu Minh and Nhiem Vien. His unique angle and masculine demeanor have made him a favorite among audiences. Furthermore, celebrities such as Dương Mịch, Trương Bá Chi, and the beauty queen Vương Phi have shown admiration for Daniel Chan’s talent.
However, when the film crew reached out to Daniel Chan, the management company imposed a restriction that he could only participate in the film for 40 days. At that time, his schedule was packed. The production house even suggested filming exclusively for Daniel Chan to expedite the process, accommodating his busy schedule.
In the end, both sides could not reach a satisfactory agreement as Daniel Chan was not only looking for quick filming but also sought a fee that was too high, causing the production team to reconsider their plans.
According to 163, assessing his appearance, rising fame, and performance, at the peak of his career, Daniel Chan was undoubtedly a top competitor against Huynh Hieu Minh. If he were to collaborate with Liu Yifei, it would create a formidable duo of stunning visuals.
Daniel Chan entered the entertainment industry at the young age of 16. The actor participated in numerous blockbuster films such as Thập nguyệt vi thành, New Police Story, Nghĩa chiến, Kẻ chỉ điểm, Tân Thiếu Lâm tự, Nộ Hòa… In addition to acting, Daniel Chan is also passionate about music, participating in several music shows and entertainment events.
Daniel Chan’s brand has made significant strides in just four years, achieving remarkable sales of about 1.45 billion Hong Kong dollars (nearly 6,000 billion VND) with a line of high-end sausages, establishing itself as a successful business model.
According to some sources from Hong Kong and China, Daniel Chan owns a brand of pastries, milk tea, and sausages, and possesses substantial assets in the industry (over 3,400 billion VND).
At 45 years old, Daniel Chan continues to maintain a youthful appearance, like he did at 30. The actor recently caused a stir by hosting a concert in Hong Kong, attracting thousands of fans, along with the support of major stars present at the event.
