Jiang Wen
In 2002 Chen began preparations for his film "Barber" (also known as "The Music Box"). The production of the film halted in 2003 when Chen reported to have issues with one of the leading actors, Jiang Wen. The film began production in February 2003 when Chen Kun was brought in to replace Jiang Wen as a leading actor. Filming for "Barber" was still in progress when Chen became ill and died of a gastric haemorrhage in April 2005. There have been recurring plans to finish the film.
