What kind of reactions is he going to give?
And then we just played, but it was very serious play.
Its the easiest to create in this kind of environment, because I wasnt afraid to try anything.
During the casting process, Cheang met Ng three times to discuss and develop his eventual character.
It helped that Ng is a big fan of Cheangs 2006 film,Dog Bite Dog.
But for this film, people started to contact me, about Soi wanting to meet me.
I got there and we talked.
He wanted to understand my personality and see if it fits the character.
By the third time we met, he offered me the role.
This is the fifth time Ive worked with Sammo Hung, but Im still a fanboy.
As such he wore a goatee and a wig with long hair as part of his role.
Soi doesnt plan his shots ahead of time.
Theres no shot list, he adds.
He feels a certain place or location is good for a certain action and then he figures it out.
Ng has retained close bond with many of the films younger cast following the shoot.
It was very memorable working with the younger guys, because I had to fight them, he says.
Especially the ending scene, which was shot over 20 days.
That friendship is pretty close till now.
Were all still hanging out.
Is this as realistic as the real Walled City?
Probably not, but its as close as possible, says Cheang.
Its a balance as theres always some artistic license, just because youre making a movie.
Ng says that martial arts cinema is a kind of universal language.
Ive been traveling a lot to different places and meeting different audiences.
Everyones response has been similar, he says.
