Huayi Brothers continues to push the promotional campaign in China for the potential summer blockbuster film of Kim Yong-hwa's
Mr. Go with the launch of the first trailer. Chinese actress Xu Jiao (
Starry Starry Night,
CJ7) star as Wei Wei, the childhood friend and caregiver to Ling Ling, the Baseball-playing Gorilla and Sung Dong-il (
Take Off,
200 Pounds Beauty) co-star as the sports agent who recruited the Gorilla to the Korean professional Baseball league.
Wei Wei grew up in the circus with a bat-swinging gorilla named Ling Ling. After her grandfather dies in the Great Sichuan Earthquake, she has only Ling Ling to depend on. In order to pay her grandfather's debt, she has no choice but to accept sports agent Sung's proposal to bring Ling Ling to the Korean Baseball League. Despite serious doubts and ridicule from the league, Ling Ling, now dubbed 'MR. GO', becomes an instant hit, hitting one home run after another and propelling his loundering team to the playoffs. However, the rise to stardom is met with unexpected troubles and MR. GO must now face adversaries beyond his control.
The sports comedy will be released theatrically in Korea and China simultaneously in July. You'll find the Chinese version of the trailer embedded below.
