鬼也笑 (The Ghost Must be Crazy)

Was involved in quite a number of film productions towards the end of last year. Since the films has been out for some months in the theaters now, I guess it is safe to post some of the behind the scenes pictures, haha

The first is <鬼也笑> (The Ghost Must be Crazy). Another J-Team production but this time Jack Neo is not directing but executive producing the film. I am the film’s Continuity & Script Supervisor. The film is divided into 2 stories, each helmed by a different director. The 1st is <鬼才嫁給你> (Ghost Wedding) directed by Mark Lee (李國煌). This is Mark’s directorial debut and he also stars as one of the main characters. The other main character is 煇哥. This story revolves around a down & out middle-aged man played by 煇哥, who would do anything to strike it rich, even marrying a ghost.

The 2nd story is <鬼才給你Off> (Only a Ghost will let you OFF) directed by Boris Boo (巫培雙). His previous feature film include “PCK: The Movie”. This part of the films revolves around a pair of army reservist buddies played by 南哥 & 王雷 who goes back to the army for reservist training, but try all their ways and methods to get out of the training with unexpected results. It can be said to be a continuation of the roles they played in previous year’s “Got Ghost Meh?”.

A potential location for 煇哥’s house. This location is so popular, that this 1-room flat has appeared in numerous local films like ‘大世界’ (It’s a Great, Great World) and tele-movie like ‘等一等愛情’ (Love in a Cab).
