The annual film event "Hong Kong Film Awards" will be held at the end of this month, and the competition for "Best Supporting Actor" this year has been quite fierce. Nominated for his role "Wong Gau", Philip Ng Wan Lung faced strong competition from Louis Koo Tin Lok, Paul Chun Pui and others. He stated that he would not think too much, and would properly enjoy the nomination process. He revealed that he fainted due to giving his all in a fight scene, but no one noticed. Co-star Raymond Lam Fung even thought that he used "method acting", which was funny and poignant!
"The 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards" will be held at the Tsim Sha Tsui Cultural Centre on the 27th of this month, this year's "Best Supporting Actor" could be called the "Group of Death". The competition between actors of the same film alone was already very exciting. TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING)'s Ng Wan Lung challenged Best Actor Koo Tin Lok, THE LAST DANCE (POR. DEI YUK)'s Tommy Chu Pak Hong and Chun Pui also have their supporters. Although LAST was considered to have better odds, the battle remained rather ferocious!
Ng Wan Lung recently talked about the extraordinary strength of the supporting actor nominees this time. He had to compete with TWILIGHT's investment boss and actor Koo Tin Lok, what did he think? Philip joked, "I know that everyone must have some substance to be nominated. Nominated, I feel it is a certain recognition too. Like Ma says, when you reach a level you have to properly enjoy the stuff of that level. Don't give yourself too much pressure. When making a movie you have to enjoy the filmmaking process. When the film is released, if the audience likes it then enjoy that recognition. Nowadays, I thank the Lord for the nomination, and enjoy the nomination process." As for his good brother Lam Fung's Best Actor nomination, Ng Wan Lung of course hoped that he would win. However he understood that awards were under the influence of many factors, the most important was not to give yourself pressure.
Philip played the exaggerated, cold-blooded and murderous "Wong Gau" in TWILIGHT, which won a lot of praise. He has miraculous power to protect the body in the film, and could be said to be fighting from beginning to end. He bluntly said that the crew's action demands were very high this time. Getting injured on action film productions has always been easy, fortunately he was not seriously injured. However he revealed that he fainted from fighting. "It is the last scene, Ah Him (Terrance Lau Chun Him) stabbed me with a knife. The usual response to being stabbed was to hold my breath. At the time I knelt from the stab, actually I was out of it. I fainted and didn't move for a whole minute. When I woke up I even thought did I mess up the shot? Lam Fung saw that I was fine and said that he thought I was method acting, haha! He pointed out that he fainted at the time because the shoot took a very long time that day. In addition he had to remove his shirt, he wanted to stay in shape so he deliberately drank and ate less. During the shoot he was not at his best.
Working with TWILIGHT director Soi Cheang Pou Soi, Philip admitted that he was a fan. "I already felt that he was so energetic and bold in handling the roles when he made the movie DOG BITE DOG (GAU AU GAU). I really wanted to participate in his work." He pointed out that in the first two meetings, he has not been assigned any role. The director said that he wanted to get to know him first. "We talked about the action director stuff. He said that he would make a movie soon. Because we haven't worked together before, he said that Hong Kong new martial art action actors could be counted in one hand and wanted to see if we would be able to collaborate. At the third meeting he gave the role of 'Wong Gau' to me." He understood that casting was very important, so audition took time. He has also heard that he was not the first choice, but he did not felt that was important. He really enjoyed the production process.
Philip has been busy with work for many years and rarely talks about relationships. He pointed out that he was not young anymore, of course he wanted to enter another stage of his life, get married and have children; but a good marriage was hard to find, and he has not met it yet. What was his criteria for choosing a mate? He immediately joked, "I hope she is pretty, pretty, and pretty!" Then he said, "The most important thing is to be kind. Appearance is important too, but the most important thing is that the personalities complement each other first." He joked that Mommy no longer urged him to get married, but he hoped to give her a grandchild. He said, "Actually I have been trying to get to know girls inside and outside the circle in the past few years. (Has there been any development?) For a very short time, it was amicable. Usually they would know that I want to have a long-term companion, and hope that everything is compatible. So when I know we aren't too compatible, being friends is better."
