Steven Ma, Wu Ma, and the female lead, Zhang Meng, and Taiwan actor, Huang Shao Qi et al, earlier on held a blessing ceremony for their new series at Hengdian.
Steven Ma (Ma Jai) previously flew over to Hengdian to film his new mainland tv series. Because the troupe's makeover designer, Bobo Ng, is very serious in her work, it makes Steven even more serious. During the costumes tryout session, Steven repeatedly tried out various makeover looks. On that day alone, just going through the clothes had already set the record for the most clothes Steven had ever tried out. Moreover, this is Steven's first time to portray two characters in a series. To give a fresh look to his characters, one of them will go through numerous change of costumes while the other dons a watermelon shape wig. (per Steven self-deprecation description) and also have his legs and hands cosmetically tan. On that day, Director Wong Ka Fai (Wong Yue Tai's brother) and Bobo Ng meticulously assessed Steven from head to toe making the latter, an old timer in the industry who has been exposed to all things big and small, couldn't help but raised his thumb in admiration for their work attitudes.
Steven expressed what took him by surprise was the stir caused by his watermelon head right from the very start in the make-up room. Interspersed with repeated comments of his cuteness were also admiration sighs of many women: "Ma Jai not only seems to have taken a preservation pill but has practically reversed his age. " Bobo Ng also laughed and said: "I've not seen how Ma Jai looked like decade's ago, but I've watched his decade old series so I can sort of remember how his head looked like; during the makeover, his image stored in my memory and the present him are the same. Actually, I only got to know Ma Jai last year. I had to makeover two different characters so I paid extra attention to the hairstyle and the skin color to reflect the different economic, academic and family backgrounds."
Wong Ka Fai Praises Acting Skill More Mature
Director Wong Ka Fai, who has once collaborated with Steven in a movie (tn: 2000: When a Man Loves a Woman), is currently once again collaborating with him said: "After so many years, of course there is a difference which is: the acting is more mature, more seasoned, and more refined, it flows straight from the heart, and his control of rhythm is more masterful. This series though is not recorded on site but will be dubbed after filming, his intonation, nevertheless, was well modulated; not only did he spur his partner into character but also helped those present in the scene to get into theirs."
Steven expressed that he thoroughly enjoyed analyzing this new series with the mainland female lead, Zhang Meng, Taiwan actor, Huang Shao Qi and Director Wong Ka Fai. He said: "Bobo jeh and all the cast and crew members, we all work together harmoniously. Very quickly we developed a mutual tacit understanding, much like a big family, all just wanting to film a good series. After work, all the cast member got together for dinner to improve our relationship."
Allegedly, TVB is presently lacking siu sang and executive Catherine Tsang has offered a high price of 80,000 HKD per episode to entice Steven to return to his maternal home to film series. But it is also rumored that Ricky Wong offered even a higher price. So which one will Steven choose? Steven said candidly: "Currently I don't have a contract with any tv station yet. Currently, I'm a freelancer. For now, I just want to do a good job with this series first. So which tv station in Hong Kong will I collaborate? I feel that any one of them is possible. All depends on fate! Anyway, if the script is good, the character is good and the fee is reasonable, all can be considered. I have an open attitude to any possible future collaborator. Of course, my gratitude for TVB will not changed. Maternal home will always be maternal home, as to what form of collaboration? That will depend on fate."
