[edit] Introduction

Cecelia Cheung takes on two roles in this brand new film by Wilson Ip, which also stars Francis Ng, who hasn't starred in a historical film in years. White Dragon is a historical romantic comedy, but with Wilson Ip helming the film there is little chance this film will be conventional in any way! Adding more contemporary elements against a martial arts background, even breaking cultural boundaries by adding a Japanese-style blind samurai into the mix, White Dragon is innovative, fun, and romantic all at once!

Cecelia Cheung has already starred in a few historical films, and this time she has to use all the tricks that she has as a Best Actress winner to pull off the demands on her part: cross-dressing as well as being a convincing fighter and musician! In preparation for her role, she specifically took music lessons to play traditional Chinese instruments. She plays both Black Phoenix and White Dragon, with the story set in Ming Dynasty. Black Phoenix is famed as a beautiful woman in a prestigious school who lives with her father Black Hawk, and she dreams of marrying a prince. Once she won an award as best musician, and caught the eye of the second prince, and they fall in love at first sight.

However, she is also the heroine Little White Dragon after receiving all the power from Elder White Dragon, who was severely wounded by blind swordsman (Francis Ng). Little White Dragon continues the works of the Elder, performing heroics and attempts to hunt down the blind swordsman. However, they begin to fall for one another...
