The movie's imitation of classic comedy-kung fu hits by stars like Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan and Jet Li is sure to go down well with audiences, Chi added.

"Also a series of stunts like bomb explosions shall make it a splendid visual and audio treat for viewers," Chi said at a press conference in Pingtan on May 21. "The guest appearance of Chen Zhihui might bring audiences more surprises."

Chen Zhihui is a Chinese actor best known for playing supporting roles in various films and television series since the 1980s. Some of his more notable film roles include playing Master Chin in Jet Li's Fearless (2006), Zhang Fei in Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon (2008); Master Liu in Ip Man (2008).

Once shooting for Juhua has finished, Redstone Seaside Heights plans to establish a studio to provide facilities for movies of various genres including wuxia (a mix of fantasy and kung fu popular in China), action and costume dramas, according to Lin Sanshan, president of the resort.
