A press conference for Ding Sheng's period film
Little Big Soldier was held yesterday
and Jackie Chan was at hand to announced the launch of the
Sina website with a new teaser trailer lurking within. As most teaser usually does, it ends on a cliffhanger and a bloody one at that.
It was the darkest of times in China, when ruthless warlords waged battles to satiate their endless aggression. Millions of lives perished, and those who survived had only two choices - kill or be killed.
The battalions of warring states Liang and Wei collided in a bloodbath that lasted from dawn until dusk. Only two men were left standing - a FOOT SOLDIER from Liang (Jackie Chan) and the rival GENERAL from Wei (Wang Leehom). The Soldier survived because he is an expert in playing dead, with a device strapped on his body which protruded like an arrowhead for added realism.
The Soldier captured the wounded General, hoping to use the enemy as his ticket to freedom - by handing the General to the Liang warlord, the Soldier could be honorably discharged and return home to his peaceful life. The young General, though taken captive, was condescending towards the Soldier. The two men were often at loggerheads during the long and winding journey.
It opens on February 14th for the Chinese New Year. You'll find the teaser trailer embedded below.
