A comedy, kung Fu movie "Keep Calm and Be A Superstar", featuring American actor Chris Collins and Hong Kong singer and actor Eason Chan is scheduled to hit theatres around China on December 8th.

Chan plays an action superstar in the movie.

At a promotional event recently held in Beijing, Chan said he felt he was not agile enough, adding everyone knows how to fight, but fight and look good doing it is another matter.

Chris Collins, became known in China for his role in action film Paradox. He described Chan as his new opponent in the new comedy, and he felt funny during his fighting with Chan.

"I had so much fun doing the fighting with Eason, mostly because he was cracking jokes the whole time. We would try to work through the action and after five minutes, he would crack jokes, which was fantastic and made it fun. I think he did really good! I mean I think he definitely can come across as an upcoming action guy, and for the next movies, I really hope that it works out for him to do this."

Director Vincent Kok has praised Chan for his professional dedication in making those action scenes look very real.

The film, also stars Chinese pop singer Li Rong Hao and young actress Li Yitong.
