American actor-singer Fei Xiang promoted his new film, the Chinese blockbuster movie Creation Of The Gods I: Kingdom Of Storms, on Monday.
The Chinese-American singer-actor, who is also known as Kris Phillips, plays the villainous King Zhou in the action-fantasy flick. “We are talking biology, physiology, ageing. It is easier to get into physical shape in your 20s and 30s. I knew that would be one of my biggest challenges. I would have to undergo serious physical training, but it was not impossible.”“I needed time to work up to it. It takes a lot of time to build muscle, it does not happen overnight. Thankfully, the director said no problem, and he arranged things that way,” says Fei Xiang.
Expect to see more of King Zhou in the trilogy’s next two films, slated for release in 2024 and 2025, in which his relationship with Su will become more complex and difficult.
