Comedy king" Stephen Chow returns to the silver screen after 7 years as the director of the movie "The Female Kungfu Team". Among the cast, the appearance of Carina Lau - one of Stephen Chow's long-time friends - attracted attention. Carina Lau participated in the movie as the "master" of the Nga Mi sect.
When asked how to describe friendship with Stephen Chow, Carina Lau continuously used the phrase "it's still the same", thereby sketching the image of Stephen Chow in her eyes - a person who has not changed for decades, with a characteristic cold humor.
The 60-year-old actress explained: "Every time I talk to him, Stephen Chow always says'just like that'. I asked him how he was these days, if he had a girlfriend, what life was like, he always answered'just like that'. When he answered, there was no expression at all.
But I feel very familiar. When I met him, he was already like that, and he is still like that now.
Although the two are not the type of friends who often contact each other, the friendship and harmony built over many years still exist.
Therefore, when Stephen Chow invited her to play a guest role in "The Female Kungfu Team", after reading the script and seeing that the character was suitable for herself at the present time, and believing that Stephen Chow definitely had a reason to come to her, she happily accepted.
Talking about the changes of her long-time friend, she commented: "Now he is old. His hair is gray, but his heart is not old yet.
In Carina Lau's eyes, the most precious thing about Stephen Chow is that inside him there is always a child: "You watch the movies he makes, maybe older people won't understand, but children watch very happily".
She believes that Stephen Chow's talent is that his works still always attract a new generation of young audiences.
He'nurtures' another generation of young audiences. 10, 20 years later, they will still remember director Stephen Chow," the actress said.
Carina Lau revealed that she once advised Stephen Chow to dye his gray hair black, but he has his own personality. When film promotion is not done, he lives almost in seclusion and rarely appears in public, so she cannot persuade him either.
As a friend and audience member, she really hopes Chau Tinh Tri, over 60 years old, will reappear once again.
The actress advised: "There are so many fans who love you, you should think about a role that suits your current age and then return to the screen again".
In the interview, Carina Lau also revealed interesting interactions in real life between Stephen Chow and Tony Leung - her husband.
The two are likened by her to "maestros". She said that they both studied at TVB's actor training class. In their private lives, they have two states, one is "văn" (literary), one is "võ" (martial arts).
When in a "literary" state, the two sit quietly, while she sits in the middle. When switching to "martial arts", because both are fans of Bruce Lee, whenever they talk too excitedly, they perform and compete in Wing Chun.
Carina Lau believes that if Stephen Chow and Tony Leung could act in a movie together, not only herself but all the audience would definitely look forward to this collaboration.
