The Nick Cheung Ka Fai, William Chan Wai Ting, Isabella
Leong Lok Si starred film BURSTING POINT (BAU LIT DIM) not only had
attractive action scenes but Cheung Ka Fai also had his moment of
acting peak. His character "Bong Sir" kept traversing between
everyone in an intermediary role. Whether his colleagues, informants,
family, they all needed his help to be able to resolve their problems.
His on scree son Adrien Yau Tsz Him was one of them. In the film the father
and son relationship has been rather poor. Thought of as abandoning
his family, he tried his best to save his relationship with his son.
Thus whenever his son was in trouble, he would drop everything to save
him without any regard for anything else.
As for the scene of Ka Fai's great acting eruption, in the
story his phone received a video about his son. He needed to express
the full range of emotions on his face to be able to depict the
feeling of collapse. In 30 seconds, Ka Fai performed a variety of
different emotions in layers. From receiving the video of unknown
origin, he looked extremely confused, then shocked, then had difficulty
with believing as panic set in his eyes. He proceeded to get upset and
frightened. Aside from frowning, Ka Fai also had difficulty with
breathing; then extreme heartbreak and heartache followed as tears
began to well up in his eyes. He followed with a scream of sorrow,
completely unable to accept what he has just seen. Everything could
be seen from just his facial expressions.
After finishing this scene, Ka Fai needed time to settle his
emotions. On the set he sat, stunned. Even when the crew handed him
tissue he refused. This type of collapse lingered for a long time.
Lam Chiu Yin of course was rather pleased with the result, praising
Ka Fai's "Seven Best Actor Cheung" title was well deserved.

Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin in order to play her new film's
mature character well wore padding, as she boasted that her figure
immediately leaped to the peak of her life! In the film she was
fortunately enough to develop a romance with Tony Leung Chiu Wai. She
joked that she was so happy she wanted to "give back" the salary!
Choi Cheuk Yin in the Emperor Motion Picture THE GOLDFINGER
(GUM SAU JI) played the woman behind Best Actor Leung Chiu Wai. She
said that to be able to perform with her idol was a rare opportunity
that absolutely money could not buy. She stated that she did not feel
right. "I really wanted to give back my salary!"
Already acting with Wai Jai on the first day at work, Ah Sa
appeared with a mature look. She said, "I told myself early on that I
couldn't give myself pressure in order to keep from affecting the
character performance. I also can't use the fan state of mind to face
the elder. In the film I wasn't Ah Sa, I was playing a character. Of
course I took the chance to pick up a few things!" On the day of the
shoot, she observed Wai Jai and Bak Ji (Michael Ning)'s performance in
detail on the set like giving herself an acting lesson.
Ah Sa played Wai Jai's other half in the film, so the costume
designer has put a lot of thought on her to create a different her.
In particular her figure became outstanding and radiated femininity! Ah
Sa described her costume. "In the scene my character became a publicly
traded company chair in her 20s, so the impression was rather stable.
Actually most of my hairstyles in the film this time were special
design wigs, even the figure became the peak of my life, very buxom.
Earlier I always felt like my arms were fatter, but after putting on
the padding I realized that I was very thin. Actually before I wasn't
fat, my chest just wasn't big enough!"
Gordon Lam and Eddie Peng often exchange their points of views courtesy of on.cc
Taiwan star Eddie Peng Yu-Yan in the new film I DID IT
MY WAY (CHIM HUNG) had his share of scenes with Best Actor Gordon Lam
Ka Tung. He revealed that they have worked together before, but this
time they truly had scenes together. Thus when he got the script he
was already very excited. He said, "I often watched Ka Tung's movies,
he is no stranger to me at all. During the shoot he also gave me a lot
of advice, when we act I would follow his performance and emotions to
change my own condition." Lam Ka Tung said, "This time was the first
time I had scenes with Peng Yu-Yan. Although he spoke Putonghua, when
we bunch of guys get together we would throw out a lot of ideas to
study."

The Emperor Motion Picture two nights ago held its
premiere in Beijing. Chief director and producer Dante Lam Chiu Yin,
producer Lee Fung Ying, director Calvin Tong Wai Hon, actors Nick
Cheung Ka Fai, William Chan Wai Ting, Isabella Leong Lok Si, Shaun Tam
Chun Yin, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, and chief producer Yu Dong made their
appearance.
The Beijing Premier even invited many friends to watch.
Friends like Mani Fok Man Hei, Gordon Chan Ka Seung, Cya Liu and Nam
Ying Ying sincerely shared their reviews. Cya Liu said that she was
able to relate to the viciousness; director Lam Chiu Yin's mentor,
famous director Chan Ka Seung lamented, "I am proud to have such a
disciple." Surprisingly, the child actor who worked with Lam Chiu Yin
and Cheung Ka Fai on UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN) Crystal Lee Hing Hau also
came to support the film. The film would open today.
The film BURSTING POINT in Hong Kong has been rated category
III. Nothing was held back in the action scenes, the art of violence
was thoroughly on display. The Beijing premiere was titled,
"Everyone out of control, standards wide open". Every character in
THE BURST POINT went out of control step by step in their fate. When
asked about when the Cheung Ka Fai played Bong Sir was the most out of
control, he felt, "I am the only one who didn't lose control in the
entire film, no matter how much pressure or damage I have sustained,
in the end I remember the police uniform I am wearing. Being the cop
the primary mission is to protect, so how can I lose control?" Chan
Wai Ting shared the point of losing control from his undercover
identity. "In the film each time I lost control was having no choice
being undercover, which I understood very much. In particular after
I have seen several drug enforcement police's real cases, I was even
more able to relate to the character. Many people have asked me
whether the film's standards were too wide, actually the cruelty of
reality was even more violent, bloody and brutal than in the film! So
I want through the character to make the general public understand how
noble people undercover were." Leong Lok Si, Tam Chun Yin and Chau Sau Na felt that the reasons their characters were out of control because
of their family. When they received unfair treatment or were harmed,
their own "bursting point" would also reached the peak. Thus under
the situation when emotion was not under control, they made choices that
they would regret for the rest of their lives.
In addition, the stars of BURSTING POINT shared their "critical
point" of losing control in real life. Cheung Ka Fai joked, "In the
middle of a traffic jam, wanting to go to the bathroom is the most out
of control." William shared that he would not be too out of control,
even with the tougher parts of the BURSTING POINT production he did not
lose control. William said, "After working with Director Lam Chiu Yin
and Brother Ka Fai, I have planned my show business journey anew.
Working with them I was filled with energy, even if I get hurt I still
have to charge ahead. This type of enormous energy is supporting me
to complete this character." Leong Lok Si like her character in the
film were both mothers, seeing women being harmed was something that
she could not withstand at all. Chau Sau Na agreed. Tam Chun Yin
joked, "When my daughter ignores me, I would lose control." Cheung Ka
Fai even brought back his classic line, "If we are brothers then come
'burst' me."
The Emperor Motion Picture READY O/R ROT (BUT YUT SING
FUN 2) has been in release. Earlier star Michelle Wai Sze Nga paid
out of her pocket to book a show and treat her fans to watch the movie.
She also prepared snacks to give to them as she was seriously
thoughtful. Fans praised Michelle's performance as good, and said
that Michelle should not make too many horror films and make more
movies like READY. Michelle also mentioned working with Elaine Jin
(Kam Yin Ling) for the first time, from which she has greatly benefit
from. She even revealed that one scene opened her eyes. She said, "In
the last scene, Sister Kam, Ka Lok and I were together. The atmosphere
was happy, not as emotional as this version you see now. After
several takes, the director said to Sister Kam to perform a more
emotional version. So she made this version, which was pretty
shocking." She also said that at the time even the male workers on
the set were teary eyed.
