[2011.06.03] PETER CHAN ASKS TAKESHI KANESHIRO TO BE STRANGE

Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo) in WU XIA played a detective with a mouth full of Sichuan dialect. On the first day of work, director Peter Chan Ho Sun already asked him to "conduct an autopsy". Finally after inspecting over 100 corpses in a day Gum Sing Mo had nightmares all night. The next day at work he was still shaken and complaining to the director. For this autopsy scene, Gum Sing Mo worked until he was completely broken down, as the corpses were truly too realistic. Chan Ho Sun even joked with Gum Sing Mo, "Sorry, although these corpses were made from special material, in order to ensure their 'fresh' quality we must finish the shoot in one day. You might as well tough it all out in one day."

Aside from being familiar with behavior, his look even had an ancient detective feel. Chan Ho Sun did not ask Gum Sing Mo to be handsome but strange. When Gum Sing Mo tried on the small pair of glasses and put on a backpack, he joked, "I look more like an OB/GYN." Chan Ho Sun even revealed, "Actually Gum Sing Mo after the production began was unable to find his feeling. Finally one day Gum Sing Mo said to me, 'You don't want Gum Sing Mo.' I said, right, I want Takeshi Kitano. Actually I not only wanted Takeshi Kitano but Takeshi Kitano and (Stephen) Chow Sing Chi, Takeshi Kitano's illogical behavior and Chow Sing Chi's illogical questioning."

Although Gum Sing Mo's costume looked simple, but from top to button, inside to outside, it was all real antique. Aside from the glasses, the team was the most worried about the hat on his head. Not only was it expensive, more importantly it was the only world in the world. It had its own security box. During the shoot, wherever Gum Sing Mo went, the security box went. In order to find a straw hat that was "wide brim and good transparency", Dora Ng Lei Lo looked all over the world's antique hats. Finally she ordered over 30 from the U.S. for 4,000 to 5,000 each.
