Transcript

00:00This is Tim Wasberg from Festtrek.

00:28I'm here in Toronto, Ontario for the Toronto International Film Festival.

00:33Every part of that fight is character-based.

00:37That's pretty insane.

00:39Yeah, but only the case performed by these guys.

00:44Because I don't want to, you know, two guys fight and stun double and real action.

00:51And then you cut back this real guy and stun double.

00:55That's why five guys fight or four guys fight is running around, you know, fighting around.

01:01We can see, we can see backshot and people, audience thought, oh, there's a stun double.

01:06No, coming back, oh, we can see the real face.

01:08That's only the case that the performer can deliver this kind of skill.

01:17Yeah.

01:18And the most important thing is this skill doesn't look like skill.

01:21That's a very important thing.

01:23Because they're not showing, oh, I can do this skill.

01:27Not like this.

01:28Because they're coming from, their skills coming from their character.

01:32So that's why me or Donnie, we talk there, choreographed and choreographed.

01:39Yeah.

01:40They perform the unperformed thing.

01:43Right?

01:44So this is a very ultimate level of the martial fight.

01:47Yeah.

01:48Yeah.

01:49Because now we just, two actors bring their close combat, one, two, three, four, five.

01:54But they're all different styles.

01:55Yeah.

01:56Yeah.

01:57So that's the very ultimate level.

01:59Yeah.

02:00The way they perform is not like they're, not like they're, you know, show off the skill.

02:07Yeah.

02:08Right.

02:09So just, just deliver the character.

02:10Yeah.

02:11So that's a very, very difficult.

02:24Whatever we're doing in the movie, our character's doing is actually with you.

02:53actually with like you said with a purpose and everybody's different and then somehow each one

02:57of us has it's not about right or wrong like joey said it's all about our perspective to see life

03:03and then what we're fighting for but for me yeah and for me i believe you can tell like you've seen

03:10the movie that this character napin is always struggling you can tell i think he's not a really

03:17a guy who can beat 20 people at the same time but this character is always somehow gets you know he

03:25gets up and he you know if he fought like until you know that somehow i think they're in the process of

03:31the whole movie even for me that i did that i also believe this character could die anytime

03:38but that's probably the most beautiful thing about it because i think representing that and then my

03:43amount of my friend he's a kung fu master who can really you know you can tell like the confidence

03:49there but in alvin even when i was playing it i know at some point this character could just die

03:56but the beautiful thing about it is actually he just until the end of course you see the movie

04:02the end and he knows that at one point closing to the that part he knows this is it but in the journey

04:11going to go into that he's always questioning but the the spirit the drive for him to save not

04:17just the wife also the kids and helping his friend finding his daughter somehow put him in the situation

04:23that i cannot die yet at one point close into that one when he gets up with uh our amazing master kang

04:32that final moment before the last chunk of that final moment of the fight he realized this is it but

04:40i'm gonna take you with me

05:10so that's probably something yeah if i have to die i'm gonna take you with me yeah that's something

05:18that i believe in action scenes the audience needs to see that because of you do an action movie for the

05:27sake of flashy coolness you know flying kicks whatever it's pointless but when the writers wrote those

05:35characters for us with everybody each one of us has different purpose different something to fight

05:40for they're so unique and i believe the audience is gonna see it more deeply and then it has a purpose

05:49and then that's a good action movie is all about and then we can blend the you know the intention and

05:55what we see you know what we're trying to create the illusion of violence in it it's hard and then the

06:00the five way that you just mentioned i probably that's probably the scene that so far in my career

06:06that's the highest art because it's not just complexity but there's intention in each one of us and each

06:12movement has you almost see there's a drama inside of it so i think that that made it so special for

06:19people to really hopefully enjoy this movie我觉得嗯我这个角色在这个电影当中她有一个

06:29变化其实在她救完女儿的时候还可以选择呃集宿这个故事选择

06:36呃离开但是她看到那文还在继续战斗的时候她依然会选择回来帮助她然后战斗到底我想嗯

06:46Actually, I think the動作片 has always been the main topic,

06:49which means the courage to conquer the evil,

06:51so I hope that the audience can also be able to bring in real life

06:56from the動作片 that I think can bring to my side.

07:02I think this is a very successful place.

07:16I think this is a very successful place.
