Aaron Kwok Jokes That Nick Cheung Is Better Than Donnie Yen

The Oxide Pang Shun directed new film CONSPIRATORS (TUNG MAU) invited two Best Actors Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Nick Cheung Ka Fai to work together. Actually CONSPIRATORS is THE DETECTIVE (C+ JING TAM) and THE DETECTIVE II (B+ JING TAM)'s final chapter. In the film they both played detectives. During their investigation action scenes were inevitable. They both said that their action scenes were on par. Sing Sing was not spared due to having been in two films already.

Kwok Fu Sing and Cheung Ka Fai worked together for the first time. Ka Fai in the film even appeared in a wig. He pointed out that the wig could actually keep evil spirits away and joked that it was already the best choice among the choices. Ka Fai in recent years had many films with mostly very heavy characters. Earlier in NIGHTFALL (DAI JUI BO) he was even mute. Thus when Pang Shun asked him to play this Cheng Fung Hei he immediately agreed. He said, "This time the character was lighter, earlier I made too many heavy character scenes. Being able to relax a little of course would be the best."

However the film was shot in Thailand. Ka Fai said that the location had the most rats and cockroaches, which he was the most afraid of. Luckily Sing Sing made a path for him and scared away those little animals, which he was very appreciative of. Ka Fai in the film not only had an outstanding wig, his "Malaysian Wing Chun" even received high praises from Sing Sing. Sing Sing joked, "Ka Fai in the film knew Wing Chun, even better than (Donnie) Yen Chi Tan. His performance method was very funny. Everyone had a lot of spark." When they had time they would even talk about sports cars. Sing Sing joked that he told Ka Fai not to drive fast.

Sing Sing revealed that this time had the most action scenes. Speaking of the film's most dangerous scene, he had to jump from the elevated track three stories above onto street food stalls. The stall's eating utensils had to be handled with care. Before hand they paid a lot of attentions to sharp objects. He said, "Because I jumped into a food stall, where a lot of knives and forks would be. The team wrapped them up in plastic wrap but actually they still hurt if they stabbed you. Thus all the safety precautions must be taken before hand." In the end Sing Sing got the scene in one take, but the director wanted him to try it one more time. He could not help but joke, "Who knows if the director wants me dead."

Although this time is the final chapter of THE DETECTIVE series, Sing Sing did not feel down and at the same time would like to be able to work with Ka Fai again. Would he keep making more? He said that would depend on the audience reaction. When asked if he was confident that CONSPIRATORS will receive a Hong Kong Film Award nomination next time? Sing Sing pointed out that he never made a movie for an award, but he said that an award was a type of encouragement to an actor. Being nominated was even a type of recognition. Thus if he was encouraged and recognized he definitely would be the happiest.
