马浚伟接演《秀才遇着兵2》 称和张可颐最默契

During his interview, Steven, who will replace Moses in an upcoming period drama, Gentle Crackdown 2, disclosed that if given the chance to choose his own character role, he would love to portray a schizophrenic or someone suffering depression. "Nowadays, there are many people afflicted with mental illness. I, myself, have many friends who are depressed or have had suffered depression. No matter how advanced the medical technology may be today, there is no device that can yet probe into mental patients' minds to study their thoughts. So, if such a role comes up, I would love the challenge of playing this kind of character." He said the role may greatly affect his moods, but nonetheless, he is still very keen to take up this challenge.

As a front line TVB siu sang who has acted in many series, which among his female co-stars would he pick as being the most compatible with him? "The most compatible co-star?  "I'd pick Maggie Cheung," said Steven. Why did he cast his vote on her? "She's a natural actress. And she slips into her role very quickly. Just three days into our collaboration, we had already figured out each other's acting style. How she would portray her character vs how I would portray mine; we just knew intuitively. We were very compatible. Afterwards, we were amazed; thereafter, we are always very complimentary of each other's acting."

[..]So what is Steven's outlook on love?
"I'm a person who don't fall in love easily but once I do it'll be difficult to part. This attribute is very similar to my tv character, Cao Zi. But Cao Zi is a very emotional person. I don't have Cao Zi's literary talent but I treasure life much more than him so I'm more rational than him."

身为无线红星拍过无数剧本，如果选择自己最默契的工作搭档是谁？“如果说是最自在最默契的合作伙伴，我想应该是张可颐”，马浚伟认真答道。据悉，拍完《长恨歌》后患上甲状腺炎的张可颐一直绝迹娱乐圈专心养病，那么马浚伟为何还将票投给她呢？“她很会演戏啦，特别是入戏很快。和她合作我们才三天，我们就知道对方是怎么演戏啦。她怎么演我怎么演大家都知道，很有默契感。之后大家都很惊讶，所以就一直相互恭维对方会演戏。”
