(Shenzhen Daily)

| Jin called the film producer to
express his opinion. The producer said the author's view will be considered.
When Zhou Xun was announced to be the heroine of the long-expected TV series
based on the very popular book by Jin Yong, a world acclaimed wuxia (martial
arts) literature master, controversial opinions were aroused.
According to the film's director Zhang Jizhong, Liu Yifei, the original
candidate for Little Dragon Girl, was unsuitable for the role. So he proposed
using Zhou Xun despite objections.
Some people believe that Zhou is more suitable than Liu in terms of age. But
others say Zhou looks too sophisticated to play the innocent Little Dragon Girl.
Jin Yong has always supported Liu for the role. Although the filming
organization said Jin's opinion would be considered, the filming deadline will
make it nearly impossible to change Zhou. The filming will start in early
September.
