THE PROMISE PARODY VIDEO PART 2

Not content to rest with just one parody video of Chen Kaige's THE PROMISE, there is now a sequel to the video (which was called THE BLOODY CASE THAT STARTED FROM A STEAMED BUN) that promises to merge HERO and THE PROMISE. EastSouthWestNorth describes the proposed plot as follows:
"Twenty years after Nicholas Tse gave a steamed bun to Cecilia Cheung, Hiroyuki Sanada became a movie director and Cecilia Cheung and Jang Dong-kun are the actors. They wanted to take a movie titled "The Steamed Bun Murder Case" for the Oscars but they had financing problems. Hiroyuki Sanada went to beg people everywhere but he had all kinds of problems. The characters in Hero made their appearances as various motion picture professionals. Thus, Jet Li was Hiroyuki Sanada's assistant, Tony Leung and Chen Daoming were investors, Maggie Cheung was a bank CEO and Zhang Ziyi was Tony Leung's secretary ... finally, after Hiroyuki Sanada agreed to launder dirty money for Chen Daoming, the movie was made and it was ready to win the Oscar. But at the last moment, the director of the National Movie Review Board Nicholas Tse showed up and declared that this movie has not passed inspection and therefore will not be able to participate in the Oscar Awards. Thus "The Steamed Bun Murder Case" failed to win an Oscar."
