Last Saturday morning, Kenneth Ma and Natalie Tong were in the downtown area of Sha Tin filming a major shootout scene for TVB's new series, "Stealth Team". The plot was about the two of them exchanging gunfire with terrorist leader Ronny Lay on the road, and there was an explosion scene. Kenneth and Ronny, who had real guns, had arms experts near them the entire time, and every time they carried their guns, experts had to ensure their safety.

Intense and Sparing No Effort, Filming Goes Smoothly

Although work started early in the morning that day, and the weather was warming up, Kenneth, who was filming action scenes in a long-sleeved coat, was so hot that he kept sweating; seeing him was even tough, but Kenneth was in high spirits and was in a great mood. Whether it was chatting with the staff, taking a picture with a passerby, touching up his makeup, or dabbing his sweat, he was all smiles, but when he got into position, he was fully immersed. Was so intense that the veins popped out...was working quite hard. Because there were few NGs, it was filmed very smoothly. Kenneth described it as a project with the most action scenes since he filmed series: "Also hard to film action scenes. On the contrary, filming shootout scenes are much more fun, especially since guys like to shoot. Because [we're] using real guns without bullets, there would only be fire at the muzzle. It is also safe to film shootout scenes in Hong Kong. Would not have crafty guns. (Does [your] girlfriend know that [you're] filming a real gun scene?) Also no need to tell her. She only knows that I'm filming acting scenes".

Natalie Tong Reveals Needing Time Off the Most

Asked if he really wants quickly finish the filming of "Stealth" so that he has the time to get married, Kenneth said, "Of course not! I don't have any time off because [I] have to film the new series 'Legal Spokespeople' right after...have to probably film until March or April of next year! (Was it a last-minute notice from the company?) Did receive a notice recently". When asked questions about whether he had a wedding ring customized in a rush to be a groom in May of next year and had moved into a new Tseung Kwan O home with Roxanne Tong for a trial marriage, he immediately said that he had to get into position to film as a brief response: "Only rumours! Rumours! If there is good news, we will say it". Asking Natalie if she wants to see Kenneth get married soon, she said with a big laugh, "I just want him to quickly finish work today so that I can start work quickly. Actually, he also has to quickly finish the series before he has time (to get married)". Kenneth immediately added that he has a new series to film right after. Natalie laughingly revealed, "Also don't have to necessarily finish the series. There are also many ways to do it. The most important thing is having time off now". Kenneth repeated in agreement and revealed, "Yes! Give me some time off, and I will think about it, but don't have time off now. (Fight for it with the company!) Well, you help me write it out. Tell the company to give me some time off, but have to get paid as usual. Ha ha ha ha!"

The day before, Kenneth Ma and Moon Lau were filming a shootout scene for Producer Man Wai Hung's new series, "Stealth Team", in the downtown area of Kowloon Bay. Moon became a sexy sniper, looking stylish and also showing off her beautiful figure. Kenneth, who had a real gun, had a specialist by his side the entire time. Although the gunshots were loud, he, who has had a lot of experience, was teased by Moon for having trained to the stage of being 'blind and deaf', not needing to cover his ears and would not blink...senses have completely 'degenerated'!

At the end of last month, an accident occurred when American actor Alec Baldwin was filming a shooting scene for the movie "Rust", which resulted in one death and one injury. Asking Kenneth if he was worried, he said, "Not scared because there are no bullets. Only afraid of the gunshots being too loud. Also quite scared of the bang. Actually, it may be safer filming in Hong Kong than in foreign countries. It is too easy to have guns in foreign countries. Plus, our guns have all been applied for. The chances of those accidents occurring are very slim".

Real Gun Is Heavy, Tired to the Point That Lifting Cannot Be Done

He, who has played the role of a doctor many times, has held scalpels more than guns. He expressed that he likes both: "Shooting is also very fun. Initially thought that an air gun would be used since [we're] filming downtown, but the producer has a lot of heart...booked a real gun. The textural quality is always much better...would see real sparks through the lens. (Did you blink?) I'm okay! [I] never blink; they also all say that I'm blind. (There was a big kickback?) Very little for these. Would perhaps be more powerful for long guns. The real gun is very heavy...weighing ten or 20 pounds. Filming in the studio all night, really almost could not lift [my] arm!" Moon, who is filming fight scenes and firing a real gun for the first time, was nervous. Fortunately, the staff before the screen and behind the scenes was very helpful, often providing her with counselling: "I couldn't control my nerves at all. Would blink when [I] shoot. Was very annoyed, but everyone was also very patient with me".

Moon Lau Acts as a One-Woman Brothel

Speaking of action scenes, Kenneth expressed that he and Joel Chan have the most in the entire series, laughingly saying, "The pretty girl would shoot from the rooftop!" Moon immediately complained, "Did you know that, lying down in that s-shape, the waist has no more strength after the shoot?!" Kenneth said, "As soon as she shoots, the cute faces all come out, but our series is about being stylish. Her cute faces can only appear in NG clips. [He] also said that [he] is injured all over [his] body from filming fight scenes. One day, [he] also got hit by the gun barrel, but [he] did not regard it as a matter of any importance.

Moon has become addicted to filming fight scenes. [She] specially found a teacher to learn how to fight and watched the Korean drama "My Name" to learn from it: "The female lead, Han So Hee, trained for a few months, and [she] didn't even use a body double, which greatly inspired me". [She] also expressed that she really likes her look. The reporter laughingly said that everyone would also like seeing [her] curves. She wittily said, "It's not related. Actually, not wearing this outfit, I am also curvy!" [She] also revealed that she becomes an undercover agent to solve a case: "There is a one-woman brothel look. (Wore some strappy lace sleepwear?) It was very awesome! [You] will know when [you] see it!"

Regina Ho Leading as a Secretary, Kenneth Ma and Lin Xia Wei Collaborate Again After Seven Years

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

'TV King' Kenneth Ma, Lin Xia Wei, Stephen Wong, Cheung Wing Hong, Max Cheung, Karl Ting, Regina Ho, et al. will start filming the new TVB series "Legal Spokespeople" at the end of this month. The leads of this series will be played by four people, namely Kenneth, Lin Xia Wei, Stephen, and Cheung Wing Hong.

Regina, who is often said to resemble Korean drama "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim"'s Park Min Young, is becoming a pretty secretary this time. She expressed in an interview with on.cc, "My character is a very gentle and kind girl! However, many unpleasant things happen, so there are more emotional scenes". Speaking of the characters that she plays every time being very miserable, she laughingly said, "Perhaps I am a rather tragic person, so the producer also feels that I'm a good fit. (A lot of crying scenes?) Also do not know yet for the time being. Although this girl has a lot of things happen, her personality is very cheerful, so don't know if she has to cry grandly the entire time. [After] receiving the script, will look at it again".

In the series, she is the secretary of everyone in the law firm. She laughingly said, "A lot of people previously said that I look like Secretary Kim. Can really be a secretary this time! (Have a lot of pretty clothes to wear like Park Min Young?) Although she is a tragic secretary, she also has a lot of pretty clothes to wear. Is also a pretty secretary!" She and Karl have many scenes together in the series; the two are collaborating for the first time. Karl said, "I previously took a sneak peek of a filming highlight of Regina in 'A Love of No Words'. Thought that she did a great job, so also greatly looking forward to it".

Kenneth is playing a 'golden legal executive' in the series, who is smooth and slick in establishing social relations and specializes in helping the company get business; however, he, who is currently busy filming "Stealth Team", has not had time to look at the script. Speaking of collaborating with Lin Xia Wei again after seven years, Kenneth said, "Actually, she and I also did not have many scenes together in 'Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain', so greatly looking forward to it this time because, as an actor, it is a good thing to change partners occasionally. As for Stephen and Cheung Wing Hong, also very familiar [with them]. 'Three Kingdoms RPG' to 'Plan 'B''...Cheung Wing Hong's acting skills have really gotten better and better. Stephen had a few series previously that I also watched; he did a great job. Also greatly looking forward to my opposition scenes with Max. The series is said to start in November, but I also have to shoot 'Stealth' until December, so a lot of things are not known yet".

Lin Xia Wei, who is also playing a lawyer, expressed that she recently began looking at the script and doing her homework. She even said, "This role is something I haven't tried before but is something I have always wanted to try. Will watch many movies and series with a lawyer theme. Have a lot of scenes with Kenneth this time...hope that there are different sparks".

Stephen Wong Being a Male Lead, Role Is Vastly Different

[Stephen] will be playing a 'tall-rich-and-handsome' lawyer in the new series "Legal", which starts filming at the end of the month. It is known that his screentime in the series is quite a lot, working together with 'Second Brother' Kenneth, Lin Xia Wei, and Cheung Wing Hong. In an interview with on.cc, Stephen frankly said that he is really thankful to Executive Producer Lau Ka Ho, Producer Chan Chi Kong, and Copy Editor Leung Man Wah for giving him the opportunity. He said, "Really a great wholehearted thanks to them. I have been in the industry for 20 years...finally have an opportunity to be one of the leads. In the series, I am a solicitor, but this role is vastly different from what I have played in the past. Very cheerful and lively. I also have to look at the script and figure it out".
