Wayne Lai and Joey Law Playing a 'Double Trouble' Father and Son

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

'TV King' Wayne Lai will return to TVB in April to film Producer Fong Chun Chiu's new series, "The Father-Son Separation". In the series, apart from good actors Eddie Kwan, Florence Kwok, Akina Hong, et al., he is also playing father and son with Joey Law and father and daughter with Erica Chan for the first time. Wayne and Joey are playing a 'double trouble' father and son, just like Stephen Chow and Richard Ng's funny partnership in the past, adding humour to the intense family storyline. In the series, Eddie is playing a rich person with low self-esteem yet is arrogant, having many feuding scenes with Wayne. Iris Lam was previously said to have become an extra in a lunar new year series; however, this time, her screentime will increase, as her character will be interspersing between Joey and Nicholas Yuen.

Wayne, who is currently working in Mainland, accepted an exclusive interview from on.cc, frankly saying that it is a big challenge. He said, "I heard about the role...have to get a feel for it. This time, the dramatic nature is heavier. Find out that my son is not my own. Eddie and I have a lot of feuding scenes...also haven't worked with him for a long time. As for Joey and Erica, have literally never worked with them before. It is really a new combination. Hope that it'll be a lot of fun!"

Joey, who has always played wooden and handsome characters, is also being challenged this time. In the series, he has a frivolous and lively personality, even playing a chef for the first time. When interviewed, Joey frankly saidly that he never worked with Wayne and Erica before, so greatly looking forward to it. In the series, he goes in the kitchen often, and filming is in the summer, so he also has to frequently wear singlets to show off his muscles. The producer has already ordered him to lose weight. To accommodate the role, Joey is currently practicing his knife skills, tossing a wok, and other skills. Joey said, "Have always really wanted to work with Wayne...finally have the opportunity. Want to have some changes to my look and figure this time. Have to learn a lot of things in terms of cooking first".

As for Erica playing Wayne's daughter, she frankly said that, being able to work with seniors, the producer also told her to seize the opportunity to learn: "I was already very excited upon seeing the list because there's Wayne, Florence, and Eddie, who are seniors I had always seen on TV when I was young". In the series, she is studying medicine. She, who wants to become a doctor wholeheartedly, later has an older female and younger male romance, and will have a romantic storyline with newcomer Oscar Tao. Erica said, "Whether it is within the series or outside of the series, I am older than he is. In reality, there is a two-year age difference between us, but there is a five-year difference in the series".
