[2010.05.31] LOUIS KOO AND GAO YUANYUAN PLAY A COUPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

THe Louis Koo Tin Lok, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) and Gao Yuanyuan starred film SINGLE MEN AND WOMEN (DAN SUN NAM NUI) yesterday shot at Cyberport. Gao Yuanyuan who worked with director Johnnie To Kei Fung for the first time said that after half a month in production she still could not grasp the production pace and even felt that she did not know how to act at all, but she praised To Sir for not scolding her and having a lot of patience with her.

Koo Tin Lok and Ng Yin Cho in the new film would pursue Gao Yuanyuan. Goo Jai was also working with Gao Yuanyuan was the first time but they already had a very passionate kiss scene. Koo Jai said, "The scene had us kissing while turning off the light. It had plenty of action." He also said that because he had a lot that required to keep in mind from the shoot, he was not able to enjoy it and very awkward. He also said that although To Sir's previous NEEDING YOU (SAU SUN NAM NUI) and LOVE ON A DIET (GOO NAM GUA NUI) but had ideal box office, this time the story was more comedic so he did not sense any pressure. He even stated that the bad man who he played had shades of To Sir. He said, "It's his comedic part." How did he get the bad man role? He felt that "being good is hard" and that playing a bad man had more potential.

Gao Yuanyuan revealed that she had kiss scenes with both Ng Yin Cho and Goo Jai, but so far they only shot the kiss scene with Goo Jai. She had to keep too much in mind and have too much action in that scene so the shoot had bad takes. She also said that after working with To Sir this time, she felt that she did not know how to act at all. Her past experience did not help. She praised To Sir for being very patient and not yelling at her, as well as treating everyone to snacks. However To Sir has hardly ever given scripts to actors. Did she receive a script this time? She said after thinking a little while, "Yes, a part......" However she said that she still needed to find the production feel and pace. She also said that before production started in early May, Goo Jai told her that she would find the pace in another half a month. That time has already passed and she still had no idea whether she has found it or not. She also jokingly worried that she would not find the rhythm until after the completion.

Ng Yin Cho expressed that he did not have to give his wife Lisa S. advanced notices after his kiss scenes because he has made movies for years and she was already used to it.
