Zhou Wen Zhao (Chiu Man Cheuk)'s new film is full of thrills
Zhou Wen Zhao (Chiu Man Cheuk) earlier went to Hungary for his new film Bik Huet Nam Tin (Lit: Green Blood Blue Sky). He honestly said although his first trip to Hungary was like a vacation, he still followed his daily work out routine.
Cheuk Cheuk said there are plenty of action scenes in the movie, the ones with very high degrees of difficulty. Once because the crew underestimated the explosion and used too much explosive, Cheuk Cheuk was almost toasted as he was breaking out in cold sweat. Another scene has himbeing dragged by a subway train. Even his pants were torn through, so it was really dangerous. Cheuk Cheuk however describes the most extreme scene was a fight scene on a 100 foot tall wall in which he was held by only one wire. If anything happened to the wire he would have been a goner.
Cheuk Cheuk personally witnessed a foreign actor injuring himself on a bridge jumping scene which sent chills up Cheuk Cheuk's spine. The movie also stars Hsu Chi, who was involved in rumors with Aaron Kwok Fu Sing due to Storm Warriors (Fung Won). Hsu Chi once joked, "Next time why not rumor me and Chiu Man Cheuk?"
Cheuk Cheuk said, "We are only working together!" He stressed there was no electricity with Hsu Chi, but they did get along well. "Hsu Chi is a very smart actress. We are both young, that's why we can communicate. We are just friends, but not romantic kind." When they were not on the set, Hsu Chi took a hand held camcorder and shot all over. Cheuk Cheuk joked that Hsu Chi wants to be the next Wong Kar Wai.
After a year of rest, Chiu Man Cheuk has great expectation for this movie, hoping he can make a serious movie. "An actor's life is limited, he has to truly cherish it."
