Stephen Chow's "Women's Soccer" concluded filming
4 Jun – It was reported that Stephen Chow's "Women's Soccer" (previously reported as "Shaolin Women's Soccer") has officially wrapped production.
The film, which has been in production for the past few months, has now concluded with Dilraba Dilmurat finishing her final scene on 2 June. Other leading cast members, including Zhang Xiaofei and Lay Zhang had already wrapped their parts earlier.
Not much information has been revealed about the production, which has maintained strict confidentiality since it began in March, sparking widespread speculation about the casting order and lead roles.
This include the confusion regarding who the lead actress is. Earlier, it was reported that Zhang Xiaofei ("YOLO") was selected to be the star of the film. However, fans began to speculate that it was Dilraba instead, due to the fact that she was filming until the last day of shoot.
The movie, which marks the return of Stephen Chow as director, follows the inspiring journey of China's women's football team, the Emei Squad, as they compete in the AFC Champions League. The movie is the follow up to 2001's "Shaolin Soccer."
