[2011.03.29] HUANG XIAOMING: NONSENSE

courtesy of takungpao.com


The Huang Xiaoming starred, Chen Kaige directed film SACRIFICE will open in Hong Kong. Famous for his looks, Xiaoming this time abandoned his handsome image and added a big scar around his eye. Xiaoming pointed out that he did not want ot talk about his personal life
normally because he has worked very harder and did not want his love life to overshadow that.

Huang Xiaoming earlier promoted the film SACRIFICE in Hong Kong . Speaking of playing ugly in the film, he said, "I wouldn't mind, I asked for it. I never thought I was handsome, I want to be able to play different characters." SACRIFICE had many veteran actors. Did he want to play ugly to make himself stand out? He honestly said that he did not dare to show off in front of the elders. Instead he wanted to learn from them. He thought what was inside was the most important, he learned to leave everything outside. Was this production tough? Xiaoming said that he was okay, at least he did not have to learn Japan like he did for THE MESSAGE. The only thing was he had the scar over his eye. Each time required two hours in make up. Because he spent more time with glue on his eyelids than learning to speak Japanese for THE MESSAGE, this time only the eye make up was more painful. Each time he spent two hours in make up, the most painful of course was on his eyelids. Even his cornea suffered burns. He pointed out that her mother was on the set to take care of him.

Did his girlfriend Angelababy come to take care of him? Xiaoming only said that his mother was there always. Earlier Chen Kaige revealed that Baby visited the set. He awkwardly said, "She visited the set." Reportedly Xiaoming's father did not like Baby. Xiamoing frowned and said, "Completely made up. As I have said, everyone shouldn't just look at the photos and talk." Did his family accept Baby? He said, "Don't talk about that, the topic comes to an end here." Baby earlier ran into an earthquake while working in Japan. Xiaoming said that Baby was very strong. Would he meet with Baby in Hong Kong? He said, "I am not avoiding. In recent years I never want to respond because I don't want such news to overshadow my career on the page next day. I work hard, but personal life and work should be separate."

Now busy with the film GUILLOTINE (HUET DIK JI) preparation, Xiaoming was rumored to be at odds with Ethan Juan (Yuen King Tin). Xiaoming clarified again, "Don't believe this rumor. When he and I work in Beijing, I always said I would take him to eat whatever he wanted. Absolute nonsense, everything was just rumor." He said that he and Siu Ting were very close. They earlier practiced horse riding earlier and they rode until their rear broke. After one day of training, he just fell on the bed and slept. Siu Tin was envious of his "Kirin arms", Xiaoming said that maybe he was naturally stronger.

[2010.10.17] CHEN KUN AND VICKI ZHAO WIN HUNDRED FLOWER AWARDS

Zhang Ziyi walked backwards on the red carpet

Christy Chung Lai Tai's less than fluent Putonghua left even co-star Tony Leung Ka Fai's mouth open when the mother of three daughters said she wanted "four sons". What she meant was "moderation".

Jaycee Chan (Fong Cho Ming) did not notify his parents about his Best Supporting Actor nomination because they were both Best Actor and Best Actress winners.

The 19th Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Film Festival award ceremony took place last night in Jiangyin, Jiangsu. Chen Ku with PAINTED SKIN (WAT PEI) and Vicki Zhao Wei with MULAN won Best Actor and Best Actress. Chen Kun edged out Zhang Guoli with just one vote. Zhao Wei broke down when she gave her speech. Both before the race already became the foci at the nomination certificate presentation. Zhao Wei stated that MULAN was her favorite film, whether she won or not she would continue to do her part.

As for Alec Su (So Yau Peng) he won the Best Supporting Actor award with his effeminate character in THE MESSAGE. On stage he tearfully gave thanks. "When I first started I was typecast as an idol, thus winning an award was not easy at all!" Best Supporting Actress went to FOUNDING OF A REPUBLIC's Mainland actress Xu Qing and JING TIAN DONG DI's Wang Jia, defeating pre race favorite Sun Li. Best New Actor went to JING TIAN DONG DI's Mainland actor Xu Jian.

The red carpet before the event was star studded, with three time Best Actress Liu Xiaoqing, Zhang Ziyi, Shu Qi, Anita Yuen Wing with Simon Yam Tat Wa, Tony Leung Ka Fai with Jennifer Tse Ting Ting and Christy Chung Lai Tai, Maggie Siu Mei Kei, Ella Koon Yun Na and others. Winning Best Actor with THE ROAD HOME in the past, Zhang Ziyi stole the show when she appeared on the red carpet in the opposite direction. However perhaps
due to her dress being too long she nearly tripped and fell. That night she even performed the song I ONLY CARE ABOUT YOU (I JI JOI FU NEI).

Attending her first international film festival, Siu Mei Kei said that she was very happy. Was she confident about winning an award? She lightly joked that she was not "desperate" and only wanted more job opportunities. Yam Tat Wa's ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU) has been selected to represent Hong Kong at the Oscars. He happily said, "That's why I said I would never completely give up on Hong Kong film. This is the reason. This is a movie with historical culture, it can easily touch the jury!" Already immigrated to the Mainland, Chung Lai Tai said that she has always loved Hong Kong. Thus every two or three months she would return once. She would like to work with Johnnie To Kei Fung and Ann Hui On Wa, but no longer wanted to give any sexy performance. She would like to be able to work on romantic action film because it would be fresher for her.

The Huayi Brothers and Emperor Motion Pictures collaboration THE MESSAGE is heating up in production. Due to the production delay, Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's next films have been impacted. They would rather turn down and compensate over 100 million yuan worth of work. Producer Tao Kun again expressed appreciation. THE MESSAGE is China's first commercial espionage film. The production delay is due to the time consuming prop and set, which included a cliff side mansion and a metal bridge. Another reason for the production extension was while the directors were satisfied with the performance the cast asked for another take. At most they used up the total length of the ordinary film in one day. Zhou Xun even stated that THE MESSAGE would be her representative work.

Huayi Brothers' annual major production THE MESSAGE yesterday held its first open media visit, but its stars still dared not reveal the slightest "message". When leads Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming was interviewed, they practiced Tai Chi on any question that might exposeany film detail. Instead they praised each other without holding back. Zhou Xun commended Huang Xiaoming's professionalism and courage to bravethe challenges and make sacrifices for the film. Huang Xiaoming respondedwith Zhou Xun's acting was unrivaled as her new character gave a very "alternative" impression.

Reportedly, Huang Xiaoming who saw the production as a transformation worked very hard during the shoot. Often when the directors felt a scene was fine, he asked for another take to perform thebest impression. He played a Japanese soldier, so Japanese lessons alsobecame Huang Xiaoming's requirement. He told reporters that in the original work the Japanese dialogue was nearly 1/3, around 15 pages of A4 sized paper. Before the shoot he started to practice, almost to the point of nonstop. He suspected that he was speaking Japanese even in his dreams. When reporters tested his Japanese, Huang Xiaoming easily passed.
