The movie "Xunlongjue", which literally means know-how to find the dragon, rounds up actors Chen Kun, Huang Bo and Xia Yu from the Chinese mainland, as well as Hong Kong-based actresses Hsu Chi and Angelababy.
由光线、万达、华谊联合出品《鬼吹灯之寻龙诀》八月内蒙古开机,主创阵容公布,胡八一由陈坤扮演、王凯旋扮演者是黄渤 、shirley杨的扮演者最终确定为舒淇 , 夏雨则扮演大金牙一角,胡八一的初恋女友丁思甜由 Angelababy 扮演。
Directed by Wu'ershan, the movie tells the story of several adventurers who are equipped with different skills to locate and find potential treasure from ancient tombs.
At a press conference in Beijing, actor Chen Kun says he's been physically preparing for the movie, including martial art skills, since last summer.
"The action director of the movie has also recorded some demos for me, which involves freestyle walking and something called 'claw of flying tiger '. The latter is very dangerous and it often hit me during my practice. So I need more exercise.
The movie is expected to be shown in December next year.
