TVB artistes Brian Tse and Danny Hung have never acted as the male lead in TVB series. Brian, who has been in the industry for 12 years, is finally getting a taste of his wish, partnering Danny, who has been in the industry for five years, as the first male leads. The two will soon film the company's new lighthearted comedy set in the early Republic. The female lead is Erica Chan, who is currently being promoted and having one series after another.
Brian is playing a deity in the series. He, who is playing the first male lead for the first time, frankly said that he is not under much pressure. He said in an interview, "Have filmed a few series set in the early Republic before, such as 'All That Is Bitter Is Sweet' and 'Handmaidens United', but have never collaborated with all of this time's partners before. (You are a senior though?) Ha ha! Am an actor with experience. Now, the company is also guiding and supporting a lot of the new generation, which is also a good thing, but really do want to work with actors who are younger than I am and create new sparks. (Is there really no pressure?) No! The most important thing is just working hard to do the role well!"
Speaking of playing gloomy and sinister characters in most of his previous series, such as "Death by Zero", "Murder Diary", and "Barrack O'Karma 1968", he said, "Yes. For the previous [series], really killed people to the point that it has gotten boring. It is the time to be an upright character again. Also want to let the viewers see my happy and playful side". This series has dual first male leads. When asked if he would be fighting with Danny for screentime, Brian expressed that he would not...just looking forward to creating new sparks with everyone. He also pointed out that the happiest thing this time is being able to work with Wai Ka Hung: "I love him so much. Really very happy to work with him".
As for Danny, he frankly said that he is very happy to have a share in being the male lead. He said, "Also went back to see the producer before because being the male lead is my goal. Also very grateful. Very thankful to the company for giving an opportunity to me, this newcomer. This year is my fifth year of being in the industry. I will regard this year as the start of [my] first year. Study hard, be a good person first, and then act well, and focus on doing my own work well. Will not be concerned of other things for the time being". He also pointed out that the character this time is happy. Meet Brian, who plays a deity, in the story and experience emotions together. We support each other and grow up: "Have never really collaborated with Brian before, but we have gamed and eaten with each other. He is a very nice person who greatly adores his juniors. I also hope to learn from him and do an exchange with one another. Will be nervous about being the lead, especially since this [series] is not modern and is a series set in the early Republic. There is definitely some pressure, but I will regard it as motivation. Work my hardest to act well, experience the role, and study hard". He is currently working with Erica on filming "Let Me Take Your Pulse". He said, "We are filming very happily. Hope that we will have more scenes together in this upcoming [series]. Can hone each other's acting skills, encourage one another, and grow".
Erica revealed that her character in the series is only 18 years old, and is even a prostitute in a brothel: "This is a lighthearted comedy. Also quite interesting. Talks about me getting sold to a brothel. In the middle, a lot of interesting things happen with Danny and Brian, but the both of them also like me; there will be a triangular relationship. The last time I filmed an early Republic [series] was when I was training. I haven't officially been a character in the early Republic. Really very excited, but I think that I will have to work on my body language and dialogue. I myself am cruder, so have to have some femininity back".
Stephen Wong is playing a major villain in the series this time with quite a bit to work with and is very different from the two male leads: "The character goes from being upright to evil. I also haven't acted as an antagonist for many years; it has already been six or seven years since 'Captain of Destiny' and 'Dead Wrong'. (This time, it is still the juniors being the leads!) It doesn't matter. Will do whatever the company assigns. Roles are not divided into big and small. The most important is just doing it well!"
