TVB's new series "Fighting" will start filming in mid-October. The actors include Wayne Lai, Elaine Yiu, Brian Chu, Jacky Cai, Hugo Wong, Owen Cheung, et al. Due to the pandemic, the series crew already secretly held a costume fitting the other day. Many key players are playing boxers. Wayne, Elaine, Owen, Hugo, et al. have to fight. Although they have done a lot of fighting scenes before and are very experienced, they rarely come into contact with Muay Thai, so when there is time, would find a master to practice in class.
Elaine and Hugo are currently busy wrapping up the Shaw Brothers series "Flying Tiger 3", but still found time to practice. Elaine went to a boxing gym to practice with Master Sin Lam Yuk, and even practiced to the point that she got a big bruise on the back of her foot. She said, "Actually didn't get bruised when I was practicing boxing. It was after practicing that I had to try a sandbag. I unknowingly picked a super hard one. Kicked it once and immediately became swollen. The master immediately dispersed [the blood clot], so it dispersed into a big mark. Still bruised now. I have always been tofu flesh!"
Since boxing requires physical strength and vigour, goddess Elaine said that she has to become a runner again to practice her breathing: "Muay Thai has a lot of different positions. It's about the rhythm...already very intense after fighting for a bit!" In order to match the role, she also has to cut her hair short. As she is still filming another series, she had to wear a wig on the day of the costume fitting.
Brian, who was a fighter in the series "Al Cappuccino", also has to box this time. He said, "I have practiced boxing a few times. Fighting even more this time than last time. Mainly fighting with Owen. There is scene where he and I have to fight on a lei tai. Before the start of filming, we had already found fitness and boxing coaches to practice, so greatly looking forward to it".
Hugo frankly said that he still has not had the time to practice: "Being a boxer this time. Theoretically, the training is even more intense than 'Airport Strikers'. When there was time, I also went to a sports field to run, practice boxing, and practice breathing".
