Curiosità

The Fortune Handbook is a 2017 Singaporean Chinese New Year comedy film directed by Kelvin Sng and starring Christopher Lee, Li Nanxing and Mark Lee. It was released in cinemas on January 26, 2017, and is one of two films distributed by mm2 Entertainment during the Chinese New Year period in 2017, the other being Take 2.

Production

Sng decided to gather the "Three Lees in Entertainment" being Christopher Lee, Mark Lee and Li Nanxing, to star in a film together. According to an interview with Weekender Singapore, Sng said that "it started out as a joke, but all three of them actually agreed to do it". All three were listed as executive producers, together with Jack Neo and Melvin Ang. It was such a success that the actors started talking about their next project together.

Li, who has always played "solemn and heavy" roles, such as a police officer, lawyer or prosecutor, took on his first comedic role because of his co-stars, saying in an interview with The Straits Times that he "signed on because of the other two." Initially, he felt awkward being cast as Vivian Lai's ex-boyfriend due to the age gap, so Sng altered the role to be her brother instead.

Filming started on October 31, 2016 with a production cost of $1.3 million, and lasted for 20 days.
