The Dayo Wong Tze Wah and Micheal Hui Koon Man, Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Catherine Chau Ka Yee, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Rosa Velasco (Wai Law Sha) starred Emperor Motion Picture THE LAST DANVCE (POR. DEI YUK) has been scheduled to be released on November 14th. Hui Koon Man and Michelle played father and daughter in the film, in order to interpret her role that has been working in the family chanting business for generations, Michelle received related special training as long with Hui Koon Man and Tommy Chu Pak Hong. She not only had to learn the skills of holding white flags, but also had to master many complex movements in the hell-breaking ritual, including sword playing, sword throwing and scripture recitation, etc.
Michelle revealed that while working out at the gym, other people would listen to music but she listened to the scriptures. She exercised as as recited them. She admitted that the most difficult thing was throwing the sword, and she almost disfigured herself. "The sword is pretty heavy for me, once after I threw the sword and the tip of the sword went straight toward my face. I blocked it with one arm and it busted open. I still have a scar now. If I couldn't block it in time, the sword might have fallen on my face. Fortunately, I reacted quickly." Despite the tedious movements and hard training, Michelle never gave up. Her professionalism and dedicated attitude made the director proud. The two lead actors Hui Koon Man and Tze Wah were also moved. Tze Wah even praised, "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage."
THE LAST DANCE has already attracted attention from many overseas film festivals before it was released. The director and Michelle recently went to Hawaii to attend the 44th Hawaii International Film Festival, where they attended the world premiere and a series of events. Michelle said nervously, "It's the first time I watched THE LAST DANCE on the big screen. The happiest thing is that I met so many Hong Kong people. They said getting tickets was very hard." After the movie screening, the audience applauded one after another. Viewers even asked the director and Michelle for photos; and some audience members even praised Michelle's performance for reaching the Best Actor level, which moved her deeply.
