"Arrival of Fortune God" wraps shooting

In Beijing, the movie "Arrival of Fortune God" wrapped its shooting with a ceremony on Monday to mark the occasion. It brought together major cast members as well as its director and producer.

Alan Tam, the singer and actor who played a lead role in the production, donned the Fortune God costumes at the ceremony. Along with two colleagues, he caused a huge stir by distributing chocolates and candies shaped as ingots and bullion.

Alan Tam said, "The costume is very heavy. It's lots of trouble to put on. The gold stuff was annoying. And the danglings kept hitting me. It hurt so much. And it's so heavy, maybe ten kilograms."

"Arrival of Fortune God" is a big-screen comedy aimed at the New Year market. It's a story that combines romance, family devotion, and brotherhood. The three sub-plots were respectively shot in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenyang. Among the stars appearing in the production are Alan Tam, Miriam Yeung, Sandrine Pinna, Chen Chang, Zhang Yuqi, Tao Hong, and Lam Tze Chung.

Also it features unusual performances of guest stars, ranging from top-flight entertainers to recent sports heroes.

Alan Tam and Miriam Yeung had their hair dyed crimson and purple for their roles in the movie. These colors signify good fortune and prosperity in Chinese tradition. The story is expected to be a merrymaking addition to the New Year celebration.
