Hong Kong actor and director Stephen Chow’s new film‘CJ7’ (previously titled ‘A Hope’) is a sci-fi comedy about a poor Chinese laborer and his son. Stephen Chow stars as the laborer while Kitty Zhang Yuqi, a rising star in mainland China, makes her feature film debut as a beautiful teacher who is actually an alien.
Chow plays a man who lives in a partly demolished house. He takes in a homeless boy (who is actually played by a girl, Xu Jiao). It is said that Xu Jiao is the lead actress in the movie.
Whether the semi-demolished house and the homeless boy are on Earth, or on the alien planet is not clear.
As Chow’s character can’t afford to buy a toy for the child, he finds a makeshift toy in the garbage and brings it back to his “son”. The “toy” is actually a powerful alien device and the aliens are desperate to get it back. Some rumours state that it is a “pet” rather than a “toy”.
The reason Chow’s character can’t afford to buy the child a toy is because he is fired without pay from his part-time job as a construction worker.
According to rumors, Chow is actually an astronaut who crashes his spacecraft on another planet. He befriends an android translator (played by Kitty Zhang) who can communicate with aliens.
