I sincerely apologize for being out of touch. In the last 2 months, I have been promoting Legendary Assassin across Hong Kong and China like crazy!
I visited one city a day last week including places like Beijing, Nan Chang, Jing De Zhen, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai attending premieres and press conferences in 3 or more cinemas at each destination.
We woke up at 6am or earlier every morning, prepared to leave, got on a flight to our next destination and then worked till late, then slept extremely late then woke up again at around 6am to catch our next flight. I actually think the promotion was more tiring than shooting the film itself.
Having said that though, we were received by many eager and friendly fans in each destination whose smiles and laughter made our day.
Here are some interviews regarding the film that may interest you
is the film dubbed in the mandarin version? your voice is a little bit strange.
it's no doubt that you caught a lot of eyes at the first sight. good job.

Hey Celina, just saw your debut film "Legendary Assassins", you were really great, very natural on the screen and never looked ackward or silly. I think you can be a great asset to the Hong Kong film industry, I hope you stay in Hong Kong and do more movies before trying your hand (if you ever wish to do so) elsewhere. As long as you choose your projects wisely and not waste your talent in crappy silly movies that nobody takes seriously, your profile will only get better. Being tri-lingual is also a huge plus, i'm sure you will succeed if you keep working hard!
A little about myself, I am half Chinese half American, yet born and bred in Hong Kong. Went to a Chinese speaking school till I was 14 when I decided that a change was in need. Flew to New Jersey and attended a public school there, but got so bored out of my bum, that I flew back and changed to an international school back home. Yup, Hong Kong is my home, I love this place, the people, food, Chinese culture... Well, at 18 I was off to university in London where I attended the London School of Economics, had the best 3 years of life studying Management (the usual bunch... Econ/ Finance/ Management) then continued to study Music where my heart lies after that. I was signed to BMI as a songwriter in London then decided to come back home to pursue a career in the arts. I modelled for a while, to pay my bills, hosted at TVB Pearl for Dolce Vita for a bit, gigged with my band Jaded for a few months before I met Paco. He put me in my first film starring Wu Jing - the Legendary Assassin and I'll be recording my album shortly after. Fun times! Like I said, HK is an amazing and happening city, hopefully I'll learn and experience loads... something to tell my grandkids someday...
