TAIPEI - POP musician Wang Lee Hom is blowing 35 million yuan (S$7.1 million) on his debut as a film director, says Apple Daily.For the youth comedy Love Announcement, in which he plays a pop star, he spent 20 million yuan on a two-day shoot of a concert last month in Shanghai, the report says.
Free tickets to the March 27 show were given to fans through his website and about 35,000 of them became extras in the film.
In a bit of acting, the fans from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea had to shout not his name but that of his character, though.
The concert was an East-meets-West affair like one of Wang's real-life shows, featuring Peking opera and hip-hop. At one point, he showed up on stage in face paint as the Monkey King.
The movie will also star actresses Joan Chen and Liu Yifei.
