Won Lung, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Cecilia Choi Sze Wan and others yesterday
appeared at the film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING
JAI JI WAI SING)'s charity premiere. Playing the killer in the film,
Aaron Kwok Fu Sing made a surprise appearance and everyone cheered.
Sing Sing before taking the stage embraced director Cheang Pou
Soi and Hung Kam Bo. He introduced his film character Killer King, a
buddy of the Koo Tin Lok played Tornado. He also had a good son, who
happened to be Lam Fung. Lam Fung waved to him in the audience. Sing
Sing joked, "Good boy." He also said that this special performance
was completely due to his good friend and director Cheang Pou Soi's
invitation. He also asked everyone to support the film and cheer for
Hong Kong films.
Cecilia Choi Sze Wan revealed that in
the film she had to slap Koo Tin Lok, from which even now she did not
dare to face him. Because in the film she had to really slap Goo Jai,
so much so that Goo Jai needed to apply ice to his face. She said,
"So on the set I kept apologizing to Goo Jai. I also said, 'Mr. Koo,
sorry.'" When the host asked her how many takes, she awkwardly said
that she did not dare to say. Later when Goo Jai came to the stage,
Koo Tin Lok was asked who was the most capable fighter. He joked, "In
the entire film the most capable fighter had to be Choi Sze Wan.
Because she shot so many takes, she hit all night. She slapped me
until I went deaf. She is the most outstanding."
Lam Fung revealed that his character required him to shave his
head. He thanked the director and the art director, because after
shaving his head his fights became very crisp. For fight scenes he
threw up many times and each time would take 10 or 20 takes. In the
film everyone has hit him, but it was well worth all the hardship.
Wu Tsz Tung injured his chin during the ending shoot and went to the
hospital for 14 stitches. The brothers even came up with a nickname
for him, "Brother Busted Mouth".
Hung Kam Bo, Goo Jai and Siu Chai spoke the media together.
Hung Kam Bo expressed hope that the film would be able to bring back
action films, so the stunt people could return to the industry. He
hoped to be able to cultivate the new generation. Once stating that
he would like to win the "Best Director" award, would he like to
direct a movie? He said that if someone would hire him he would
direct again. Koo Tin Lok immediately agreed. Hung Kam Bo joked,
"Then you have to write up the contract now."
Siu Chai said that he was very happy to receive Goo Jai's
invitation to participate in the film, so he was able to support even
more new actors. Because he saw how rough but seriously giving their
all the new generation actors worked, he also said that at first he
thought playing the villain he would only have dramatic scenes and no
action scenes. He did not expect to have to fight Lam Fung. Siu Chai
in the film had to shave his head. He considered if make up would
take five hours before and after, if he shaved his head they would
save two hours so everyone could rest more.
Hung Kam Bo admitted that performing in the film was not easy
at all, because it was shot during the pandemic. At the time everyone
was worried, but once the production began they forgot to worry. The
result was also great. Which actor had the most potential to become
an action actor? Hung Kam Bo joked that it was him, later he also
said Goo Jai. He did not have many scenes with the new actors, but
they all took a lot of risks.
Goo Jai was asked about Choi Sze Wan slapping him until his
ears were ringing. He said, "That scene took 7 or 8 takes, on the
set I told Choi Sze Wan to hit as hard as she could. I didn't expect
her to throw everything she had into it, my face was swollen from her
slaps. Because the shoot kept going, I had to apply ice." Speaking of
the film being selected for the Cannes Film Festival Midnight
Screening, Koo Tin Lok said that he would try to attend.
Lam Fung, Lau Chun Him, Wu Tsz Tung and Cheung Man Kit have
become good friends due to this film and formed "Kowloon 4". Lam
Fung has received online praises that he could be nominated for the
Hong Kong Film Awards next year. He said that he has snuck online to
look at the comments and was pleased to the audience's overwhelmingly
positive reviews, the cast's months of contribution have not gone
wasted, and he thanked the director for creating many memorable
characters. Was he confident about a nomination? Lam Fung joked, "I
have never attended the Hong Kong Film Awards before, thank you
everyone for your attention and concern. I too have noticed the
online comments. I know almost everyone likes the movies."
Lau Chun Him returned from Taiwan to attend the premiere. He
joked that earlier while he was promoting his Taiwan series he was
absent from the film promotion and his three onscreen brothers Lam
Fung, Wu Tsz Tung and Cheung Man Kit complained. Later he would
participate in audience appreciation events.
Philip Ng Won Lung said that he would not hold back in their
fight scenes, otherwise they would not be entertaining. He also
praised that each actor were very well prepared. Before hand they
have all completed a month long training. Lau Chun Him said that in
one scene we worked until someone almost fainted. "The scene fought
for over 20 hours, from daylight to darkness, from darkness to
daylight. As the shoot neared its end, Ng Won Lung leaned on
my leg and fainted for several seconds." Ng Won Lung explained
that perhaps at the moment they fought for a long time. In addition
he had to fight one against four, he was so tired that his brain was
oxygen deprived. Lau Chun Him joked that he was a little pleased
for knocking him down. Ng Won Lung also praised them for being able
to be an action actor. Lam Fung said that he did not fight seriously
until this one. He hoped to be able to work on another fight scene
again. Lau Chun Him also said that he was interested in action films,
now he has begun studying taekwondo.
In addition, Hung Kam Bo's son and daughter in law Timmy
Hung Tin Ming and Janet Chow Ka Wai brought their sons to show
support. Both grandsons frequently hug Grandpa.
