Actor Selection

The cast of this film can be said to be luxurious, and the biggest star must be Stephen Chow. "Little Swallow" Zhao Wei, Ng Meng-tat, Karen Mok, and Cecilia Cheung are all big names. Even Nicholas Tse's father, Nicholas Tse, who has been out of the film industry for many years, gave Stephen Chow credit and participated in a cameo appearance in the film. Stills

In addition to the big names from Hong Kong and Mainland China, a large number of non-professional actors from Hong Kong and Mainland China have also become one of the highlights of this film. There is football in the story of the film, so naturally the football game is indispensable. According to the rules of modern football, both sides must have 11 players on the field. Naturally, two teams cannot be formed by just a few big-name stars.

In order to select other "players", the film company extensively recruited actors to join the "team" in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shanghai in 2000, with as many as 7,000 applicants. Among them, Li Hui, who is only 18 years old from Guangzhou, became the second heroine of the film with her innocent, cute and youthful image.

Mo Meilin, who comes from Hong Kong, is a gymnast and has a pretty good foundation in kung fu. Another actor from Hong Kong, Chan Kwok-kun, looks exactly like Bruce Lee, and even his movements are somewhat similar, which adds a lot to the film. There are also Zhang Mingming and Pu Yemei from Shanghai, who played the young Xie Xian and Ng Meng-tat respectively. After makeup, their images can almost look real. Among the actors recruited among this group, the one with the best kung fu is Shi Ziyun. He is a real Shaolin monk and is now a martial arts coach for the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau. Even though many of these people have never acted before, their seriousness in acting is no worse than that of professional actors. Stephen Chow himself praised them for being very knowledgeable in acting. ? Behind the Scenes

In addition to recruiting a large number of non-professional actors, this film also used a large number of civilian actors. The best scene in the film is the decisive battle between the "Shaolin Football Team" and the "Devils Team". This approximately 20-minute scene took a full month to film. The filming location was at the Zhuhai Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 spectators. If extras are hired to fill the more than 40,000 seats, the cost of extras alone will probably bankrupt the film company in a month. If the computer stunts used to create the Colosseum effect in "Gladiator" are used, the cost will also be Not cheap. The film company decided to make good use of Stephen Chow's brand effect. They published advertisements and welcomed Zhuhai residents to visit the filming for free. At the same time, they held a lottery game every day, and the winners could take photos with Stephen Chow. As a result, two to three thousand fans who want to take photos with Stephen Chow come to cheer every day. There are also some ladies who bring their children here every day to watch the filming and knit their sweaters at the same time. Although two to three thousand people are sitting in a stadium that can accommodate 40,000 people and there is still some room, but with a little computer stunt, the stadium will be full. This alone saved the crew a lot of expenses, and Stephen Chow's brand effect played a big role.
