From Monkey Peaches - Shooting of Zhang Yimou's The Curse of Golden Flower, previously known as The City of Golden Armor, has restarted at Wulong County's "Heavenly Pit" for four days. A post is built at the bottom of a naturally formed funnel. According to local newspaper Chongqing Economic Daily, the plot is that the emperor (Chow Yun-Fat) sends dozens of assassins to kill his second oldest son (Jay Chou), who has risen against his father. At the center of the courtyard, there is a platform built atop of a steel pole and dozens wire connect the pole with nearby cliffs. In the first shot, about two dozen assassins slid down to the center of the post while fighting with someone, assumedly a stunt double for Jay Chou. Painting in blue, the platform and the pole will be digitally removed during the post-production. In the second shot, six assassins stood on the side of a cliff, getting ready for their attack. In another scene, the empress (Gong Li) arrives at the post along with her maid (Li Man) and a minister (Ni Dahong). NOTE: When asked if Gong Li will act in this scene or use a double Zhang Yimou would only say it wasn't decided yet.
