First of all, have you watched The Mermaid by Stephen Chow before? I’m a big fan of all his movies! The Mermaid is a film that tells the story of a playboy businessman (Deng Chao) who falls in love with a mermaid, Shan (Lin Yun) who was sent to assassinate him.

Upon release, this film broke numerous box office records and it will premiere exclusively on CELESTIAL MOVIES (ASTRO Channel 322) on Sunday 2 October at 9pm!

5 things you should know about this show:

1. The Man Behind the film

Stephen Chow directed, co-wrote and co-produced this 2016 Chinese-Hong Kong science-fiction, fantasy, and romantic comedy. This is his tenth directorial effort.

2. Popularity of the film

The Mermaid was ranked as the No.1 Chinese movie with box office earnings of $7,025,381 in Malaysia. The Mermaid was also the highest-grossing film of all time in China!

3. Inspiration of the film

Stephen Chow was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale of “The Little Mermaid”. As a result, he wanted to make it a modern interpretation of the story. Another inspiration came from his childhood, where he lived by the sea hence he always wondered what life was like under the sea.

4. What Happened Behind-the- Scenes

Deng Chao and Lin Yun ended up eating a total of 150 roasted chickens during a multiple takes of an eating scene just to ensure they got the best quality shot.

5. Moral of the story

Liu Xuan’s development project had a direct impact on the merpeople, which cause the killing many of them and he only managed to save Shan by sending her back to the ocean so she could escape from this. Learning from his mistakes, it seems like Xuan set up a scholarship for research on environmental protection due to all these.
