Arrival and Press Conference
Arrival in Huang Shi
Yesterday morning Chow Yun Fat greeted reporters warmly shaking hands, having flown in that morning and been driven to Huang Shi. He exchanged greetings in Mandarin with a Beijing accent.... The film company refused to say which hotel Fat Go and his party would be staying at in Huang Shi, for fear of crowds causing a disturbance. Reporters trawled around many places, finally catching up with a travel-weary Fat Go and Fat So at 11 am yesterday morning. Fat Go showed he was quite willing for Fat So to come in first, and she immediately was delighted to see some old friends and called out to them....Looking at him, over the past few years Fat Go has looked more and more youthful, and has also been influenced by his wife. Fat Go is trendily dressed in sports clothes, wearing a baseball cap, and carrying a rucksack on his back - if he wasn't so famous you would think he was an ordinary backpacker. The reporters stood at the front of the crowds of people who were meeting the plane, and called out a welcome. Fat Go came over and shook hands with them.
