梁導演表示，在新加坡拍電影後，一直都希望能跨越到不同市場，而台灣的朋友們也相當支持電影，因此對於這次拍片相當期待；這是他第一部和台灣電影公司聯合製作的作品，感謝mm2滿滿額娛樂有限公司、mm2全亞影視娛樂集團、特纳傳播亞太區公司促成這次合作，以及新加坡駐台北商務辦事處、台中市政府及台中市影視發展基金會的大力協助，象徵台灣、新加坡影視文化交流更上一層樓，影片中也邀請許多台灣耳熟能詳的演員加入，希望激發新的創作動能。

 

並說到為何選擇台中拍攝，他表示電影「錢不夠用2」在台中萬代福戲院老闆黃炳熙的支持下，放映至今超過8年，非常感謝台中觀眾的支持，因此他第一次來台灣拍片，非選台中不可，盼更靠近台中市民，透過在地的生活取材增添親切感。

 

「殺手不笨」一片描述「虎頭蜂」和「馬克」這兩位殺手，他們決定執行最後一個任務後逃離組織，兩人輾轉來到台中，巧遇天兵老同學傻豹、被通緝的菲律賓毒梟女兒Talia與其友人Ira，當兩個逃離組織的殺手碰上最美通緝犯，還有一位為愛走天涯的傻子，一段刺激的冒險旅程將在台灣上演，電影預計4月底殺青。

Jack Neo, a highly acclaimed film director in Singapore, announced today that he would film his new work, “Killer Not Stupid,” in Taiwan and that 90% of the scenes would be shot in places of Taichung, including Blue Highway, Dadu Market, Gaomei Wetlands, etc., in the hope of allowing more people to see the beauty of Taichung. The Information Bureau of Taichung City Government suggests that in recent years, Taichung has been active in promoting the development of the TV and film industry and that the number of movies that Taichung has assisted in shooting continues to grow, with “The Tag-Along 2” and “The Great Buddha+” as good examples of high-quality results. The Information Bureau thanks Director Neo and welcomes him to bring his team to Taichung for filming, hoping that the good results from the past will bring them good luck.

 

     Jack Neo, director of the renowned Singaporean movies “I Not Stupid” and “Money No Enough,” held a press conference today and announced the start of the filming of “Killer Not Stupid.” Jay Shih (male lead), Amber An (female lead), Shin Lung and the two actors from Singapore—Gadrick Chin and Apple Chan—attended the conference, while Wu Chao-Nan, Deputy Director-General of the Information Bureau of Taichung City Government, and Wu Pei-Lin, Deputy CEO of Taichung Film Development Foundation, were also invited to participate, hoping that the exchange between Singapore and Taiwan in terms of the film industry would be pleasant and fruitful and wishing the shooting work a great success.

 

     Director Neo said that after making movies in Singapore, he had always wanted to enter different markets; he knew that people in Taiwan are quite supportive of filmmaking, so he very much looked forward to the filming work to come. Mr. Neo also indicated that many actors who are well-known in Taiwan have been invited to join the cast of the movie in the hope of sparking new inspiration and creativity. Asked about why choosing Taichung for shooting, he suggested that with the support of Mr. Huang Ping-Hsi, owner of Wonderful Cinemas in Taichung, his previous work “Money No Enough 2” had been shown for more than eight years to date, so he was very thankful of Taichung movie-goers. This is why, he said, when he came to Taiwan for filming for the first time, he must choose Taichung, hoping to get closer to the citizens by drawing on some local materials for the movie.

 

     “Killer Not Stupid” is about two assassins, Hornet and Mark, who decide to flee from their organization after executing the last mission. They then arrive in Taichung, where they, by coincidence, meet a simple-minded former classmate, Sha Bao, and a Filipino drug lord's god-daughter, Talia. When these two run-away assassins encounter the prettiest wanted woman ever and a fool willing to go to the end of the world for the sake of love, an exciting adventure in Taiwan begins to take form. The shooting of the movie is scheduled to finish by the end of April.
