New Casting in Châu Tinh Trì’s Upcoming Film “Women Playing Football” Featuring Song Kang Ho

According to HK01, renowned filmmaker Châu Tinh Trì recently met with South Korean actor Song Kang Ho. The King of Comedy from Hong Kong has officially announced his collaboration with the star of Parasite for a new project titled Women Playing Football which is gearing up for filming.

Previously, Châu Tinh Trì’s production company had posted a casting call for Women Playing Football. The requirements included actresses with a beautiful physique, good looks, talent, intelligence, and strong character without any Photoshop enhancements. Notable actresses like Ngô Ngạn Tổ, Hồ Hạnh Nhi, and Trần Quán Hy expressed their desire to be part of this project, generating much discussion under Châu Tinh Trì’s announcement.

Additionally, according to Sohu, it has been confirmed that actors Lâm Duẫn, Từ Kiều, and Ngải Mễ will also participate. Notably, Lâm Duẫn previously worked with Châu Tinh Trì on the film The Mermaid (2016). In 2014, she surpassed over 120,000 applicants to secure the lead role of San San in the film. At that time, she had not yet undergone formal acting training, still being an anonymous model. Châu Tinh Trì’s films have helped the star born in 1996 gain recognition.

Despite leaving Châu Tinh Trì’s company, Lâm Duẫn maintains a good relationship with him. Every year, the actress is sure not to forget to wish Châu Tinh Trì a happy birthday. Conversely, Lâm Duẫn’s career has seen ups and downs in recent years. The project The Mermaid 2 has started filming but has not yet been released. Lâm Duẫn’s works in the film industry have not been as impactful. However, despite being far from Châu Tinh Trì’s direct influence, Lâm Duẫn’s performances continue to shine brightly, making her a sought-after star.

Từ Kiều, another rising star, is known to join Châu Tinh Trì’s project Super Intelligence. Afterward, she was also taken under the wing of the King of Comedy. Châu Tinh Trì often creates opportunities for Từ Kiều in her career, introducing her to various relationships in the entertainment industry. She has also had opportunities to participate in popular films like Mulan, Future Cops, and Starry Night. Now, after graduating, Từ Kiều continues to pursue a career in fashion design.

Từ Kiều’s career has also seen little fluctuation in recent years. Although she is recognized for her acting talent, the rising star born in 1997 lacks competitive edge. Her long study abroad has also diminished her appeal to the audience. Từ Kiều needs a breakthrough project to regain her fame.

In addition to these two familiar names, the young actress Ngải Mễ, born in 2008, is also expected to play a supporting role in Women Playing Football. Ngải Mễ is known for her innocent looks, round face, and natural performances.

In 2022, she showcased her role as Bạch Lang Hoa in Heavenly Talent, receiving high praise from audiences. Moreover, Ngải Mễ has also taken on roles in films such as Teenage Hero, Future Cops, Walking through the Storm, and Future Love. Currently, she is a rising star in China, actively participating in projects like Big Sister’s Return, Future Generations, and Future Love.

According to Sohu, participating in Châu Tinh Trì’s film is a significant opportunity for any actor. The King of Comedy excels at discovering new talents, providing a platform for actors to shine. Châu Tinh Trì’s films consistently attract public attention from the moment they are announced, significantly boosting the profiles of the actors involved.
