Francis Ng Chun Yu and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing collaborated again after 25 years on the Alan Mak Siu Fai directed Emperor Motion Picture UNDER CURRENT (NOI MOK). This time Chun Yu played an extraordinary policeman, while Sing Sing played a intelligent and brave lawyer. They became involved in a showdown between good and evil between lawyers and police and bandits.
Chun Yu worked with Sing Sing again after many years. He laughed and said that because he has not participated in director Mak Siu Fai's work for a long time. He joked that he was not an official actor of any director. With the filming taking place around the epidemic, he just participated in this film in order to avoid going back and forth between the mainland and Hong Kong and having to be quarantined and observed. Chun Yu understood that the film market is sluggish now, and being able to start production on a Hong Kong film was already rare. He too hoped to make a little more, but he smiled bitterly, "My personality is that I don't like to socialize, I enjoy being alone. Although I can talk to a few directors, but I wouldn't be any official actor. Sometimes when I see them talking closely I am rather envious. The ones I am the closest to in the business like Wong Tze Wah and Lau Ching Wan, I might only see them once in three years."
Playing a cop in the film, Chun Yu admitted that he was not a role model. Because the character had many extra gestures, it violated his past acting principals. a He said: "Director Mak Siu Fai gave me a lot of freedom, encouraged me to do it. Although there was a few stunts, they were indeed reasonable for this role. I even got a perm for the role, because I am used to (meeting) with the director's requirements." Speaking of the interaction between actors and directors, Chun Yu said with a smile that they were like in a tug of war. "Sometimes I would scare the director, sometimes the director would scare me. This time I did whatever the director wanted me to do, if I couldn't hand in my homework I would look weak."
Regarding the fact that many new directors have joined the film industry in recent years, Chun Yu also hoped to work with them and said that he would give confidence to the new directors. He said with a smile, "New directors can't be contradicted, don't 'stun' them as soon as they come out; let them make their own mistakes. In addition film must also have a new experience, let's check out the new director's use of cameras." Chun Yu also said that he would challenge dangerous stunts depending on the situation, but the first condition was his face must be seen on camera; otherwise the personal performance would be meaningless.
As for working with Sing Sing again after 25 years and he has already become a father, Chun Yu said that this time he and Sing Sing had more dramatic scenes, and felt like they were telling the story together. He said, "This time I met a real actor, Sing Sing himself is already a good actor. He is more mature than before, for the role to gain weight and grow a belly. He worked on action scenes without hesitation, very clear on every detail and requirements."
