The Tale of The Prince’s Revenge, 王子復仇記co-starring Steven Ma and Sonija Kwok, will have 6 performances in the Cultural Center on Nov. 22nd through 25th . It held a press conference yesterday at Regal Hong Kong. Besides Steven and Sonija attending the function, the other cast members including Michael Tse, Yang Tian Jin, and Xie Xue Xin were present, too

Steven’s role in the show is Prince Huan. When asked if he feels any pressure during rehearsals, Steven smiles and says: “This character suffers depression, and has some mental problems. Frankly, I, myself go through some of those problems, too; so there isn’t much pressure on me. Everybody goes through some mood swings in life. It’s true when immersed in the role, my mood would dip. After rehearsal, it’s not physical fatigue, rather it’s mental exhaustion. (Are you worried you can’t extract yourself from your character?) All these years of acting, I’ve never being unable to extract myself. Just that the lines keep repeating in my head. Sometime, I became so mindless from memorizing the lines, totally oblivious to my surrounding. If I really have problems, I will seek out Big Sister Ming. (Lin Jian Ming)

Actually, what I worried most is the 3 minutes sword fighting scene with Michael, if not careful, at any moment, could be blinded by the other party.


Only Steven’s section is translated.
