Philip Ng denies dating ‘Fist Fight’ co-star Kaman Kong
HONG KONG: ‘Fist Fight’ star Philip Ng has denied dating costar Kaman Kong.
Earlier, it was reported that Philip and Kaman Kong had gone on a shopping date. Philip denied dating his ‘Fist Fight’ costar, explaining, “She’s showed the news to me. That day, we did hang out at the shopping mall after filming, but we were buying Christmas gifts for our friends. I know Kaman’s boyfriend. We play games together.”
Meanwhile, Philip guest stars in a remake of the 1978 martial arts film ‘Enter the Fat Dragon 2’ which recently wrapped up principal photography after about a year of filming in Hong Kong and Japan.
The film stars Donnie Yen, Sandra Ng, Teresa Mo and director Wong Jing.
Wong Jing, who stars and directs the film, shared that ‘Enter the Fat Dragon’ has been one of his more expensive films to date, saying, “Half of this movie was shot in Japan. The scene featuring Kabukicho was actually shot inside a studio, and for the last act of the film, we had to build the interior of Tokyo Tower from scratch.” The studio hopes the film will be completed in time for its April 2019 release in China. On why Wong Jing decided to let down his director’s cape to play a supporting role in the film, he said, “Donnie told me to play this character. I originally said no — I had to fight and it’ll be too tiring. I rather pay more money for Sammo Hung to come back and do it, but he didn’t want that.” Wong Jing shared that Donnie had to wear a fat suit for his role. “There were regrets. He wanted to die sitting in that makeup table for hours at a time.”
