A press conference was held on Tuesday in Shanghai to officially announce the final shooting of Chow Yun-Fat's scenes in the film The Postmodern Life of My Aunt.
Hong Kong director Ann Hui, leading actor Chow Yun-Fat, leading actress Siqin Gaowa and Chinese mainland actress Vicky Zhao have attended the premiere ceremony yesterday.
Shooting will be continued in northeast China at a later date.
Siqin Gaowa plays the leading role of the aunt. She is a retired 60-something year old woman who is unable to catch up with changes around her. Chow Yun-Fat plays a con artist who strikes up a romance with "the aunt".
Besides "the aunt", writer Li Qiang has created six other female characters. Each one is involved in a little sad or happy story with "the aunt."
