Do Robot Fall In Love?
-- Robot --
Jeff Lau says that Robot succeeds the slapstick comedy and narrative style he employed in A Chinese Odyssey, but the major difference being various factors change with times. Robot is set against science-fiction backdrop, and robots in the film will not be restricted to just one or two. While the film will carry comical elements, romantic elements, and Jeff Lau elements, it will be very different from his earlier works, giving the audience an exciting novelty.

Jeff Lau says that Hu Jun plays a righteous hero robot, he picked him not just due to his hardy image, but also because he was moved by Hu Jun's crying scenes in Getting Home. Jeffrey Lau says that the robots may also be entangled in affairs of the hearts, "Hu Jun's love for Sun Li is unilateral, while Sun Li falls for a national robot.



"Actually, there are many happy and light-hearted situations in the movie, the romance is very moving, but it doesn't necessarily ends with 'And they live happily together ever after'. Love entails sacrifices, this is what true love is."



Wu Jing is not the main villain in the film, but rather an errant knight-errant robot, one that has committed a mistake, and he will get plenty of chances to flex his kungfu muscles. On being asked about the film, Wu Jing says that Jeffrey Lau is one with very high level wisdom, and he looks forward to having a wonderful collaboration with him and hopes to have more chances to work with him in the future.


The main cast Hun Jun, Sun Li, Wu Jing, Eric Tsang et al. will only be arriving in Ningbo on around December 14, and filming inauguration will be held in around middle of the month.


The story goes something like this: A national research department has just created a male AI robot programmed with various real emotions functions. To acclimatise the robot with humanity, the inventor sends him to Zou Ma Tang, an isolated village in Ningbo to live with the sheriff's family.

However, the robot and the sheriff's sister/daughter (Sun Li) develop feelings for each other over the course of time. To enable himself to be in relationships with human, the robot attempts altering his own routines, but things go wrong, resulting in various unexpected funny moments. The relevant department gets wind of this and sends four assassination robots after him.www.wu-jing.org
