The Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, Lau Ching Wan, Mini Yang Mi, Jing Boran and Liu Kai Chi starred early Republic action film THE BULLET VANISHES (SIU SUT DIK JI DAN) will open on the 13th in Hong Kong. Ting Fung in the film played a hot blooded detective, naturally he had many action scenes. Luckily he was quite at ease with action films, handling these types of scenes were not difficult at all.

In one scene Ting Fung risked his life to personally arrest a criminal, but he was a rich kid and had money to hire a lawyer to set him free. Ting Fung angrily hit the criminal in the police station and thus got a scolding from his superior. Although this scene was simple, Ting Fung still repeatedly rehearsed with the actor who played the criminal and even personally instructed his co-star on how to coordinate. The action film lover Ting Fung not only discussed his fight scene experience with the stunt team but also demonstrated everything from Muay Thai to Wing Chun. He even impersonated the Donnie Yen Chi Tan played Ip Man and said, "Wing Chun -- Tse Ting Fung" and made the stunt team laugh.

In another scene Ting Fung, Jing Boran and Lau Ching Wan were under attack in a gun fight. Although Jing Boran worked on a gun fight scene with explosives on him for the first time, he was not nervous at all. He even joked that he was fine with being blown up as long as the production was willing to compensate. Ting Fung already had ample training from THE VIRAL FACTOR (YIK JIN), so the shot dodging scenes went very smoothly. They basically all went with one take. After work he even said, "No pressure performance!" Did he like to wear the title of "action actor"? He would not mind what others called him. Although he did not have a stunt person background he still would risk his life for the film.
