John Lone slated to star in the film, "The Hero Zheng Cheng Gong." (2000)
Japanese, Taiwanese and U.S. production companies are working together on a big budget project, The Hero Zheng Cheng Gong.  Recently, the director Wang Tong and film production manager Lee You Ning flew to Japan to discuss script details.  All three countries have already invested $10 million, making the film one of the biggest of the year.

On this trip to Japan, Lee You Ning and Wang Tong are also working on rewriting another new script. Lee You Ning says that this movie is not going to be the dull historical film everyone thought it would.  The main focus of the film will be on Zheng Cheng Gong's life story and his relationships.

From Japan, the request came for John Lone to star in the lead role of Zheng Cheng Gong.   The female lead character, Yi Sa Er, will be chosen by Taiwan producers.  The character has a messy affair with Zheng Cheng Gong and Taiwan is insisting on using a Taiwanese actress for the role.

Lee You Ning, along with discussing the script, also mentioned that the special effects production company, "Mini Box," will be participating in the project.  The Hero Zheng Cheng Gong will contain 30%-40% special effects, which will be one focus of the film.  Shooting is scheduled to begin next summer.
