The Warlords
Kaneshiro’s work, however, is more heavily concentrated in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In 2005, he sang his way through Perhaps Love, the first modern musical to be produced in China. It was the first of many collaborations with Hong Kong-based director Peter Chan. In 2008 and 2009 he starred in "Red Cliff", a high budget film by Hong Kong director John Woo. He has also played the romantic lead in Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", and starred alongside Jet Li and Andy Lau in "The Warlords". He expressed excitement when he received the news that he would have an opportunity to work with Director Zhang Yimou.
