Stephen Chow uses Danny Chan's "Gale" as theme for new movie

22 Jan – After using Adam Cheng's "You Are the Best in the World" as the theme song of his 2016 movie, "The Mermaid", Stephen Chow recently chose another classic song to be the theme for his upcoming new movie, "The New King of Comedy".

As reported on Mingpao, the comedy auteur, who appeared at the film's first press conference in Beijing recently, unveiled the "Gale Girls", a group of actresses consisting of Candy Li, Reyi Liu, Gao Yingxi, Judy Qi, and Lu Xiaoyu, who went on stage to perform the late Danny Chan song, "Gale".

Asked why he chose the song to be his new movie's theme, Stephen said that the song reminded him of his own struggles in the past.

"Whenever I feel disillusioned, I would listen to [the song] to encourage myself not to give up," he said.

Stephen expressed hope that the use of the song in the movie will be able to encourage the audiences.

"Work hard, never give up, and believe in yourself. You are the king of comedy of your own life," he added.
