Louis Koo and Jessica Hsuan's fate began from collaborating in the 1994 TVB sitcom "Happy Harmony". After the series "A Step into the Past" wrapped 18 years ago, they have not collaborated on screen until Jessica signed under his [company] earlier, reuniting in the new movie "A Witness Out of the Blue". The two have an ambiguous relationship in the movie. After the death of career criminal Louis, his corneas are donated to Jessica, who has amblyopia, leaving behind 'love' in the world.
Collaborating again after many years, Jessica laughingly said that she and Louis still have chemistry. During the interview, they made jabs at each other. It was rare to see 'Mr. Cool' smile. He said, "My character has a serious case of insomnia and visual hallucinations. Only had a safe haven and was able to relieve stress after renting and living in Jessica house". Inside and outside of the movie, Jessica's optimism influences Louis, becoming his 'comfort zone'.
Although Louis commits crimes in the movie, he does not allow 'suffering an injustice', trying his best to 'seek justice' for his brothers. He said, "For my character, helping his brothers is more important than his life. (Very similar to yourself?) Rather, there is relative importance and urgency of matters. Would do whatever is important first". He also said that filming the wrap-up scene was unforgettable: "A few days before the shoot, there was black rain. Discovered a lot of red ants. I also had to roll on the ground. Was also worried about the staff getting bitten. Had to use fire to clear the area every time [we] got into position".
Pushing Partner to Be a Bad Person
When Jessica was asked whether she would donate her organs in reality? She said, "When I was 18, I got my driver's licence in England. At the time, a question about being an organ donor was included, so I readily signed it. Although these things are taboo for Chinese people, who feel that the whole body has to be retained, I feel that it is okay as long as I am not [left] cut open. Would definitely be stitched back together". When asked what roles she wants to play in the future, Louis answered first, "She rarely plays antagonists. Give her a bad person to play". Jessica immediately said, "Yes. At most, I have just played the first wife who bullies the second wife!"
