CYF said he didn't really want to talk about it anymore. It is he who decided to resign from the movie. He was not fired. But in any case, he would not star in this movie but he hopes that this would not affect the movie and he hopes that this would not affect his relationship with John Woo and Terence Chang.

China Film Group suggested Chen Dao Ming, Japan's AVEX would like to use Ken Watnable. If John Woo wants a young Zhou Yu, then it could be Jay Chou. There is news that Wu Jun would change his role to Zhou Yu. Everyone is fighting for it.

If Jay Chou stars in this movie, Zhou Yu's role may be switched to Takeshi and Jay Chou would play Zhu Ge Liang. Before the group could finalize on this, the production team will stop filming as of today until the cast is set.

Ling Zhi Ling said that she was surprised with the move and regret she couldn't play wife to CYF.

Takeshi and Chang Chen through their manager expressed surprise too. Takeshi's manager said, "Has it been confirmed already? We are not too sure what his parts are. Takeshi was looking forward to working with Chow Yun Fat. But when we accepted this movie, the major reason was because it is a John Woo directed film so we all respect the director's decision."

Tony Leung Chiu Wai is returning to the cast of the Battle of Red Cliff. His return will rejuvenate this historically huge production. As long as he acts as Zhou Yu, would it cause another wave of change in cast. His 174 cm height may not fit Ling Zhi Ling.

It was also said that Tony Leung would return to the cast but no one is saying which role. Everything depends on his reading the script.

Chow Yun Fat and his good friends John Woo, Terence Chang has broken relationships and Terence Chang and Chow Yun Fat were had a verbal war. John Woo is sad and playing low profile. On the one hand he didn't want to hurt his relationship with Chow Yun Fat and on the other hand, he is quietly looking for replacement.

Besides, it was said that the contract dispute this time was caused by Jasmine, Chow Yun Fat's wife, who has always minded his work. It was also said that Jasmine requested that the production team pass everything to her first before Chow Yun Fat. As to this charge that Chow Yun Fat could not be reached by the production team, Chow Yun Fat said that he would not respond to it.

Here, if Jay Chou was in, Takeshi has to play Zhou Yu because of the age difference of Lin Zhi Ling the wife.

If Tony plays, Tony may play Zhou Yu.

Perhaps there will be more updates in a bit but I got to log off for now.
