Francis Ng Chun Yu two nights ago attended the film MEN ON
THE DRAGON (YIK LAU DAI SHOOK) premiere. Actually for his movies he
experienced the "fat man quartet", gaining 8 to 10 kilograms. However
being able to eat all he wanted truly was a pleasure. He even revealed
that Louis Koo Tin Lok might not look fat, but was almost 80 kilograms.
Goo Jai was heavier than him!
Ng Chun Yu was the film's executive producer and lead actor. He
supported this film by taking no salary. Two nights ago he and other
actors Poon Chan Leung, Ken Wong Tak Bun, Tony Wu Tsz Tung and Jennifer Yu
Heung Yi performed a drum ceremony to wish success for the film. Chun
Yu's wife and son attended in support.
Watching the film for the first time that night, Chun Yu learned
that the film had decen word of mouth from advanced screenings. "My son
Feynman will come later to see how fat Papa is. Earlier I went through
the 'fat man quartet' during the film productions, I had to gain weight
for THE TRADING FLOOR, THE LEAKER (SIT MUK JEH), MEN IN THE DRAGON and A
HOME WITH A VIEW (GA WO MAN SI GAING). I gained 8 to 10 kilograms, the
peak was 74 kilograms. I couldn't reach 80 kilograms, I wouldn't be able
to move. Don't let how thin Koo Tin Lok looks fool you, he is 80
kilograms and heavier than me."
Now Chun Yu has already returned to normal shape. He said, "This
is my original, healthy shape, earlier I gained weight for the characters.
(Would you gain weight for another role?) I would depend on me, but the
weight gain quartet was pretty pleasant. I had pork liver soup for
breakfast, I also had pan fried sticky rice chicken, which was warm and
perfect for the winter. After the shoot I gradually ran and exercised to
lose weight, I lost 8 kilograms in a month. (Was dieting the hardest?)
I really like to eat, and I eat a lot. In the afternoon I would have
bubble tea, at night after dinner I would have a can of beer to feel
full. However I would exercise more, so I told my son if he likes to
eat then he has to exercise more."
Yu Heung Yi earlier at the New York Asian Film Festival already
caught a glimpse of the film. Wu Tsz Tung deliberately skipped the film
at many audience appreciation events to save it for the premiere. Yu
Heung Yi said, "I saw the great audience reaction and how tan I got in
the film. Unfortunately no whitening product has asked me to be a
spokesperson. I love to dive and water ski, so I would continue to be tan.
I would head toward Koo Tin Lok's skin tone, which feels even healthier."
With a tan Wu Tsz Tung revealed, "Earlier I went to the beach
with my family and got a tan. My body is even darker. Because I only
put sunblock on my face, it is in a drastically different tone than the
body. However a tan can make the curves stand out more. (Does your
girlfriend Stephanie Au Hoi Shun like it?) She doesn't think it's a
problem." Yu Heung Yi said that Wu Tsz Tung in the film was often naked
to show off his muscles. Wu Tsz Tung explained, "The director is the one
who always wants to keep clothes off me, but he doesn't want me to strip.
I wouldn't feel embarrassed, I am always naked at home. As long as the
story requires it it's no problem."
