[2011.10.29] JUNO MAK'S NEW FILM USES LESLIE CHEUNG'S SONG

9:06 AM | Labels: , , , , , ,

The film LET'S GO (BO WAI JIN JUI ji CHOOK DUNG LA! PUNG YAU!) became the 8th Hong Kong Asian Film Festival closing ceremony.  The film will hold its premiere on November 8.  Juno Mak Chun Lung and director Wong Ching Po work together again.  Other actors include Stephy Tang Lai Yun, Lam Ka Tung, Wen Chao and others.  The story recalls the sense of justice in the heart of city dwellers through the collective memory of childhood cartoons.  The film used the Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing performed SPACE EMPEROR GOD SIGMA theme song as its score and animation footage to make people reflect on life and courage that today's society has gradually forgotten.

Wong Ching Po described that this film's theme came from the lyrics of SPACE EMPEROR GOD SIGMA, as the film would turn fighting villains and eradicating bad guys into live action performance. Mak Chun Lung revealed that in childhood he too was an animation fan.  As he grew older, the more burden he had and standing up for justice would be considered dumb and impulsive; he and many actors appeared in the
guardian look to fight against evil and injustice.

Juno Mak Chun Lung with REVENGE A LOVE STORY (FUK SAU JEH JI SEI) at the 15th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival won the Best Actor award. Director Wong Ching Po also at the 33rd Moscow International Film Festival won Best Director. The film company yesterday held a celebration for them. Willie Chan Chi Keung, Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, and executive producers Josie Ho Chiu Yi and Chan Chi Chung attended.

Juno honestly said that he was very happy about his first film award. He said that at the time because he did not understand Korean and his near sightedness kept him from reading the English subtitles. He only learned that he won when the director screamed. He said, "I never thought about winning because the competition was very strong. At that moment I didn't know how to react. The funniest part was, after I gave my speech in Mandarin I realized that they didn't have a Mandarin translator. Later I gave it again in English, it was like winning twice." Juno also thanked his god father Chan Chi Keung and Chiu Yi. Because of REVENGE's daring subject, finding an investor was difficult. Luckily Chiu Yi agreed after reading the script. Would Juno get a raise after winning Best Actor? He said that was up to his god father. Chan Chi Keung felt that Juno should widen his range right now and could think about salaries later. Juno would like to develop a film career with his god father's experience, he would also like to direct if the opportunity would present itself. Has he shared the news with his father? He said, "I look forward to showing the award to my family! My parents and my brother are very happy too!"

Ho Chiu Yi felt elated from the film's overseas successes. Because award winners have always been major feature films, she did not expect that a horror film would win. She praised the jury and even Juno for a performance that was a pleasant surprise to her. Unfortunately he was not nominated for a Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Actor. She said, "Maybe the genre made his nomination impossible, luckily he won overseas." Will Chiu Yi still mainly make bloody and violent films? She said that the theme would "explosive" and extreme. With the success of this film, Chiu Yi said that she has not have the time to tell her father yet. In addition Chan Chi Keung announced that the new direction of the film company that he and Juno founded, including the already completed Juno, Pat Ha Man Jik, Stephy Tang Lai Yun, Jimmy Wang Yu, Gary Chaw (Cho Gat) starred new film LET'S GO (BO WAI JIN DUI ji CHOOK DUNG LA! PUNG YAU!), the next film will be a collaboration with Kwan Kam Peng.

[2011.05.11] VOICE WORK MAKES GARY CHAW THINK SINGING IS EASY

12:28 PM | Labels: , , ,

Gary Chaw (Cho Gat) recently has been busy recording his latest record and rehearsing for his world tour, but he still made time to come to Hong Kong for the LET'S GO (SIU SEUNG HUP) post production voice work. The film had many action scenes, so Cho Gat had to coordinate with different special effects during voice work. Normally singing was very easy for Cho Gat, but this time providing his voice in front of a screen was very difficult for him. Sometimes due to the sound effects even he moved accordingly, which made him look like an idiot acting with nothing. The crew all cracked up. Cho Gat said that the voice work was even more difficult than the fights in the film. He said that he was still more suitable for stage performance.

On the day of the voice work, Director Wong Ching Po personally supervised. Cho Gat said that before the shoot he saw Wong Ching Po's past work like MOB SISTER (AH SOH), JIANG HU, FU BO and the most recent REVENGE A LOVE STORY (FOOK SAU JEH JI SEI). Cho Gat honestly said that he admired his unique handling of his film, like the light and dark visual designs. The director's unique views inspired Cho Gat a lot musically.

Wong Ching Po also revealed that his mother was a Cho Gat fan, but last time in Hong Kong she missed Cho Gat's concert. Cho Gat immediately invited the director and Mother Wong to attend his July concert in Malaysia. Wong Ching Po said that his new film might shoot on location in Malaysia. Cho Gat joked that after the concert he could take him around to scout location, maybe he would have a chance to play the lead.
