TVB's currently airing series "The Invisibles" has four main selling points: gunfights, action, friendship, and suspense.
Kenneth Ma and Natalie Tong Have a Crisis in Their Relationship
Producer Man [Wai Hung] feels that Kenneth [Ma] has always been overlooked when playing cool characters. Not having the opportunity to play them in the past, it does not mean that he cannot do it; it is just that no one has tailor-made it for him. This time, Kenneth is showing his cool side to viewers, proving that he had an eye for it. He revealed that Kenneth is not only cool, but his relationship with Natalie Tong will face a major crisis. Many people discussed on the Internet that the two did not have a perfect ending in "Big White Duel II", so hope to see them have a perfect ending this time. He kept everyone guessing saying that everyone has to watch it. All in all, the ending is unexpected for everyone.
Kenneth and Natalie are acting as a couple for the fifth time. Kenneth pointed out that Natalie is a partner who is very easy to work with. From the early years of collaborating in 'A Fistful of Stances" to now, already do not need to test out and no longer need to adapt when filming emotional scenes. Although the partner is the same, the character setup and layout are different from "Big". This time, the two bicker and have a malicious rivalry in the series. A mission causes a misunderstanding. Natalie and Joel [Chan] think that it was his mistake that caused Natalie's elder brother (played by Jazz Lam) to lose a leg, causing many conflicts and seeing him as an enemy.
The Most Fighting in Ten Years
In this series, Kenneth has to handle a lot of friendship and emotional scenes, and it also has the most action scenes in the past ten years. He said, "Used real guns in all the gunfights. The biggest scene was filmed in Shek Mun, Sha Tin with the streets blocked off. I played with air guns when I was young, but it feels more real and exciting holding real guns. There are a lot of hand-to-hand combat scenes in the series. Finger also got hit; however, as long as the filming comes out with a cool feeling, everything is worth it. All this time, I rarely played cool cops. Also had to build my muscles becore filming. There was a great amount of physical activity from shooting action scenes in uniform in 30-plus degrees im the summer. At the time, I was also very fit. In the finale, there's a scene where Joel and I join forces to deal with Ruco Chan. It is rare to film a scene for three nights. Really fought until it went dark all round. Another selling point is that the four's relationship and conflicting parts are very real. There were huge emotional ups and downs".
Girlfriend Really Wants to Have a Destination Wedding
Next year, Kenneth will officially turn 50, starting the second half of his life. He said that there's nothing special in his mentality. Age and marriage are two different things, and there were no deliberate plans to rush to establish a family before turning 50. Mainly looked at the timing, having a solid foundation in his career, and meeting the right person...both also want to have their own family. As for the wedding date, he expressed that a date has not been set yet because "The QUEEN of News" has to film until July. Planning for the wedding to be held in the second half of the year, and giving full authority to his girlfriend, Roxanne Tong, to arrange it. For the time being, there is a consensus to register the marriage and hold a wedding banquet in Hong Kong. He said that his girlfriend really wants to have a destination wedding, and the preferred location is Southeast Asia because it is rather tough for their older parents to take long-distance flights.
Speaking of his search for his other half, what exactly does he like about Roxanne? "Like that she is very frank and direct. Would say whether she likes something or not...no need to guess. I'm very stupid in this aspect. Say it clearly, so there's no need to guess. It's like a scene in a movie: girl has been angry for three days, but guy cannot figure out the reason. These things would never happen to us. In fact, in private, she would be just like a little bird and act cute toward people. I often say that I'm raising three cats...very clingy. (You like clinginess?) I like it. Some guys don't like their girlfriends being clingy, but I like my girlfriend being clingy at the right time and acting cute toward me. Have a sense of presence in front of my girlfriend. Acting cute is a kind of fun. We are both homebodies...don't like to go out. She really likes to eat. Also very happy eating egg waffles, pancakes, and other snacks...easily satisfied. Playing with the cats and watching a movie, and it's another day...pursue a simple life".
Ready to Be a Dad
Is he already ready to be a father? "Should be ready! My girlfriend also said that I'm a strict father. Actually, I have been influenced by my father. Since I was young, my father disciplined me differently from my elder sisters. My father says that you have to be strict with your son because he has to support a family in the future, and you have to spoil your daughter because you don't know whether she will marry well in the future, so have to cherish her more. If I have a daughter, would also cherish her. Have a pair of cats now. Sometimes the male cat wants to play with the female cat, but he does not know how to use his strength and bites and hurts the female cat, which causes the female cat to go to me for help. I would use a very mean tone to yell [at him] to stop. I'm stricter with my cat son. Actually, raising cats is similar to raising people. It turns out that cats are very energetic at night. Get woken up to play by the cats at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and have to eat at five or six o'clock in the morning. Heard from Lai Lok Yi about having to get up in the middle of the night to breastfeed...now practicing first. I feel quite happy raising pets. No matter what time I get home, the two cats would throw themselves at me. Would also follow me to my room and the bathroom, and also watch TV with me...very amusing".
As for whether he will avoid filming intimate scenes after marriage, he said, "Will not deliberately avoid them. The boundaries of television are always limited. Filming series for so many years, know that there are many restrictions on prime time. Even if the plot is written very extremely, would also clearly ask if it can be aired, so as to not waste time and effort. (How about your wife filming intimate scenes?) Would also tell her to clearly ask if it can be aired. Guys don't mind filming it, but if the girls feel uncomfortable, they have to speak up. The most important thing in filming is that everyone is happy. Don't ever force it. Would not affect the ratings because of one or two passionate scenes".
Challenging a Major Villain Role
Being in the industry for many years, he has played many good and upright roles, giving people the feeling of a well-behaved guy. Asking him what other roles he would like to play, he revealed that he really hopes to play the role of a major villain, just like Ruco who is playing a criminial genius with a high IQ in "Invisibles" this time...good at using his words to confuse people and psychologically control the other party. He has never played such a role before. Kenneth laughingly said that he used to think that he's quite righteous in TVB, but since Shaun Tam appeared, think that he is even more righteous than he is. With Shaun playing the good person role, don't know if there'll be more opportunities to play bad person roles in the future. Previously playing an antagonistic role in the series "Line Walker: Bull Fight" had not fully satisfied the acting craving. Looking forward to encountering a character who is a villain to the end.
