Leon Lai promotes first effort at directing

BEIJING: Singer- director Leon Lai has promoted his first directorial effort in Beijing.

His movie, Wine War, is to begin screening in May.

During the promotion, Leon promised to surprise the audience with an image of actor Zhang Hanyu they’ve never seen before.

“Zhang Hanyu and I are actually close friends. Based on my knowledge about him, he’s a funny guy who may often entertain people around him. So the character he portrays in my movie reflects how he looks like in real life and generates a lot of fun. And this contradicts his previous film roles that usually look very serious.”
