Casting Eason Chan, Michelle Ye, Sammi Cheng, Zhang Guo Li etc 'box office guarantor' and directed by golden partners Alan Mak and Felix Chong, and with the popular 'police-bandit' theme storyline, it is believed that LCPC will be among the most interesting movie of the season.

The movie has lots of appeals being Sammi's first work since her return to the industry, she will be playing cool and diligent police officer while Eason Chan plays mafia boss dealing with illegal fuel business. Meanwhile, Michelle Ye will be playing the wife of a mafia boss for the first time, playing Eason's wife in the movie, and at the same time first time appearing as a pregnant woman.
'LCPC' will continue to bring audience' favorite 'police-bandit' theme storyline. Beginning with a kidnapping case, audience will not only be able to see a whole new performance from Eason Chan, they will also be able to see TV series queen Michelle's outstanding performance in progressing towards the big screen. As the main cast of the movie, Eason Chan's most pleasant surprise was when the two scenes where he thought he did not act well in fact got the recognition and praises of the directors., one of which was the scene with his 'wife' Michelle Ye, while the other was a scene with Sammi Cheng. Although 'LCPC' is the first time Eason and Michelle work together, both of them appeared to have much tacit understanding, both complementing the other one well, their collaboration was a very pleasant one. Michelle Ye who is also anticipating 'LCPC' very much, feels that this is a very worthy movie for audience to watch in the cinemas.
Having filmed 'Sniper', 'LCPC', 'Assassins' etc big movie productions, Michelle Ye has been continuously working with movie king actors as well as internationally renowned directors. Yesterday, Michelle Ye attended movie premier of 'Ballistic', appearing in a black suit, she immediately became the attention of the media for the premier night.

"Lady Cop & Papa Crook" Promo & Updated Release Date
A tentative release date of December 24, 2008 in Mainland China has been set for the Sammi Cheng and Eason Chan starring Lady Cop & Papa Crook. Eason Chan started promoting the film in Hong Kong yesterday and accepted interviews from the Mainland media. Due to an already packed December schedule, Eason will have to miss the Mainland premiere of this film. When speaking of the film, Eason immediately thanked directors Alan Mak and Felix Chong.
Director Felix Chong says he already eyed for Eason in 2006, "I was at one of his concerts where he wore a crow on top of his hat, at that moment I thought of Leslie Cheung. I'm not saying they look alike, it was their temperament that felt really close." Because of that feeling Felix Chong started thinking about writing a "Siu Sung" role for Eason, "When we were out drinking I told him I was looking for him to play the "Siu Sung" role, but he thought I was drunk," Felix says.
Eason's surprised reaction came about, as he put it himself, "Because I never thought someone would choose me to play a cool role. Since young, I thought the cool roles were played by actors such as Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, etc. I was sure they would not be played by Eason Chan."
Not yet seen the entire film, but seeing clips during dubbing, Eason expressed that he was already in shock, saying, "This was the first time I saw myself on the screen so cruel and so cool. I really need to thank directors Alan Mak, Felix Chong and the photographer. I am not Takeshi Kaneshiro, but the angle they used to film showed a handsome side. The photographer knew that if they filmed from an angle, the outline of Eason's face would be defined and he will look very cool."
Eason is also especially grateful towards the two directors for two scenes, scenes where Eason thought he didn't act well enough in, which ended up being two of the scenes in the film being praised. "I heard from friends, one scene where I was acting opposite my wife (Michelle Ye) and the other where I was acting opposite Sammi Cheng and honestly telling her my life story, that they thought I acted especially well in those scenes. Honestly, I had the most pressure during those two scenes," Eason says.
