The new movie "A Witness Out of the Blue", starring Louis Koo and Jessica Hsuan, is releasing soon. In the movie, Louis is violent toward Jessica, accidentally injuring her neck. Louis said, "The scene tells of me confronting her with the danger of death, covering her head with a jacket, and then slamming her head into the wall. The director wanted to use one shot. Nothing went wrong during rehearsal. Some people become claustrophobic when their heads are covered. I also asked Jessica beforehand; she said that it was okay. I already told her that, if anything were to happen, [she should] immediately call a halt to it and not force it, but she did not call a halt to it". Jessica said that she did not want to affect the progress of the shoot, so she did not ask to immediately be hospitalized. She thinks that filming is like this. She gets injured every time she films a fight scene, so it was expected. The most important is achieving the effect. She revealed that, when she previously filmed "Line Walker: The Prelude", she cut her finger on a stone table; there was a stream of blood, and it hurt so much that could not speak. Moses Chan ran over, looked at her, and said, "Your hand is bleeding!" The director did not yell 'cut'. She would rather bear the pain and finish the scene.

Louis is not hitting a woman for the first time. Fought even more ruthlessly with a Korean actress in the movie "Line Walker". It was so ruthless that [he] could not help but say to the action director, Chin Ka Lok, that it was ridiculous. They are not scared of filming action scenes; rather, [they] are afraid of explosion scenes. Jessica said, "There have been actresses who had injured their faces while filming explosion scenes. Told me to be careful". Louis is most afraid of flying fragments injuring the innocent and being fatal.

Not Scared of Action Scenes, Afraid of Explosion Scenes the Most

The two are collaborating again after ten-plus years. Are the other person's acting skills different from the past? Louis said that he is old now. [His] perspective on every matter and role is different. This time, his screen time with Jessica is not much...hope to collaborate on a romance film in the future; the execution will be even better. Jessica feels that Louis' acting is very stable...handles everything with ease. Is able to do it once [he] gets into position. "He was also able to do it back then. For emotional scenes, able to cry on cue".

Looking forward to filming a romance film? Louis revealed having just completed a film in which they play a married couple; however, it has not been released yet. As for the original lineup filming the movie version of "A Step into the Past", Jessica expressed being very happy. Louis said, "Everyone has changed. Many have gotten married and have children, unlike the unconstrained feeling of the past. Now, there are some burdens".
