CRI听力:Now You See Me 2 to Hit Big Screens across China on Friday

The sequel of Now You See Me", the original comedy caper produced by Lionsgate in 2013 is scheduled to arrive in Chinese cinemas this Friday.

Taiwan pop star Jay Chou was also making his global mark in this film by both being cast in Lionsgate's sequel Now You See Me 2 and portraying a magician surnamed Li.

Director of "Now You See Me 2", Chinese-American Jon Chu, and a lead actor Mark Ruffalo have recently promoted the film during the premiere. Both of them have highly praised Jay Chou's performance.

Jon Chu described his admiration in a funny way.

"Like we've been in the poster pictures, you can see everybody's pictures are all nice, but he just stands there and oozes cool. I want to be exactly like him."

At the premiere press conference, Mark Ruffalo was very modest in talking about his cooperation with Jay Chou, which immediately makes him win the hearts of the journalists present.

"He was so good, and I've been doing this for so long. It's so hard for me, it seems so easy for him."

Also starring Daniel Radcliffe, Morgan Freeman and Lizzy Caplan, "Now You See Me 2", will see the Four Horsemen resurface and forcibly recruited by a tech genius to pull off their most impossible heist yet.
