As of 12:00 PM on July 19, "The Kungfu Women's Football Team" recorded 1.3 billion RMB (about 5,000 billion VND) in revenue, continuing to lead the Chinese box office at the present time.
In "The Kungfu Women's Football Team", Dilireba not only has to perform many high-difficulty action scenes but also ensures the humorous rhythm of the work.
In an interview, the actress shared about her surprise at receiving the invitation to participate in the film, the high-intensity training process to transform into the character, as well as memorable experiences when collaborating with director Stephen Chow and the crew.
Dilireba said that when she first received an invitation from the film crew, she could hardly believe it was true. Only when Stephen Chow himself called and said: "Hello Dilireba, I am the director here", did she truly believe that she had the opportunity to participate in the project.
However, going along with joy is great pressure. She shared: "The film has both martial arts and football, and also has to show the depth of the character in a comedy work. I'm worried I won't be able to fully convey all of that.
To suit the character Ngoc Lung, Dich Le Nhiet Ba soon entered a training regime like an athlete. She both exercised to increase strength and trained to gain muscle. After joining the film crew, the actress also participated in a closed-loop training course, including lessons on basic football techniques, physical training and team coordination skills.
Besides football, martial arts scenes are also a big challenge. Dilraba Dilmurat recalled a scene where she was asked to spin half a circle in the air and then shoot the ball into the net.
I had to practice for a very long time, and it took quite a lot of time when filming because the movement requires very high body coordination. The turning angle and the time of the shot must be very accurate," the actress shared.
Talking about her first collaboration with Stephen Chow, Dilraba Dilmurat said that this was an experience that left a deep impression. According to her, the 64-year-old director always gives actors a feeling of absolute trust.
Because Chau Tinh Tri is originally an actor, he often exchanges with everyone like between actors, instead of simply making requests from a director's perspective, so the creative atmosphere on the film set is very comfortable.
During filming, Dilraba Dilmurat also had good harmony with her co-star who played Song Song's captain - Zhang Xiaofei. From the beginning, the two almost did not need much time to get used to each other, could quickly catch up with each other's acting style and together create many new acting ideas.
One of the scenes that she remembers most is the scene of both playing football and provoking opponents with a leisurely, lazy look. The two actors did not practice in advance, only relying on the harmony right at the scene to complete the director's requirements for a "natural relaxed" state, helping the filming process to go very smoothly.
When asked what she wanted the movie to bring to the audience, Dilraba Dilmurat laughed and said that every time she watched some scenes again, she still felt very funny. She hoped the movie could help people partly relieve the worries in their current lives.
Trying her hand at a completely new topic and having the opportunity to collaborate with Stephen Chow also opens up many new possibilities in acting for Dilireba. In the future, she wants to continue to overcome her own limits, try her hand at more diverse roles and bring quality works to reciprocate the audience's love.
