Recently, Steven Ma has been busy shooting Leung Choi Yuen’s new series, “Thunder of The Forbidden City". Because this series contains many fighting scenes, Steven’s character as an imperial bodyguard has to fight constantly from day to night, hence, during these few months or so, if not fight until his lower back hurt, then it was fight until his hands swelled up; just his thumb has been injured on the same position three times already. “The right thumb is swollen, looks like a mandarin duck thumb. Can’t visit the doctor for it until the shooting wraps up.”Besides getting hurt, even Heaven played him. Steven reckons that whenever there was a fight scene or a strenuous scene to be shot, the weather would sure to turn cold. Earlier, there was this one scene whereby framed by others Steven was sent to jail, while in there, he was brutally beaten. Later, he attempted escape from jail but was quickly attacked from all sides. On that day, it started off nice and warm, but came nightfall after putting on his “wounded looks”, the temperature suddenly dipped a few notches. It was also during that fight scene his thumb got hurt; the pain was so excruciating his face distorted in agony. The injured thumb had to be sprayed with a pain reliever before he could continue working. Steven quips that he is “Hard Knocks Wai”. Fortunately, Steven is tough: “Since young, what hardship have I not endured? But I’ll not be discouraged! A real man should possess the spirit to endure hardships. Even if life is hard, I’ll endure it until it finally changes to a good life.”
TVB has previously broadcasted two of his series. Although some people commented that the series’ timeslots were less than favorable, Ghost Writer was very well received in China and the overseas market. Hence, TV series distributors are keen to invest in it by purchasing its copyright, which comforted Steven. “So long the series gets to be aired, there's no problem, even though it doesn't get any help from good timing. But, to garner good ratings despite unfavorable timeslot makes me feel prouder. In any action, there is always going to be losses vs gains. Anyway, it is enough to do your part well. People do; Heaven sees. I believe hard work will definitely pay off.”
