Kenneth Ma and Selena Li reunite again for new drama, "Ghost Dragon of
Cold Mountain", sweetly acting as a married couple this time. Selena Li,
who plays two roles in a drama for the first time, plays a kind,
simple, optimistic, Tou Fa; while her other character is a scheming
famous courtesan, Yan Mei Leung, quite a big challenge in Selena's
career. Ma Ming has not been able to forget Tou Fa's character, laughed
saying he hasn't pulled away from character yet. Although the two have
cooperated many times, but everytime there is new chemistry and real
feelings: "The drama is suitable for the whole family, hope that
everyone can watch happily, don't want the society to be full of
negativity and dissatisfaction."
Likes girls who don't wear make upKenneth
highly praised Tou Fa's personality, saying it is the ideal personality
for a wife in real life - not scheming, very cute and pretty: "Plus I
also like girls who don't wear make up, but in real life, there are very
few people who are like Tou Fa; I don't mind my other half being
someone from outside the industry, because if I like her, then I like
her. I won't think about their profession!" Kenneth, who expressed that
he is not in a hurry to date, said that he will choose what characters
to "remain feelings for", for example, he still likes Selena Li's
character from "A Fistful of Stances", still living in the past
fairytale world!
Selena exposed that everytime Kenneth sees her
dressed as Tou Fa, he will be very excited. About the two's past
rumours, right now both are single, why don't they develop into a real
couple? Kenneth expressed that he's not afraid of rumours, because then
he will have more jobs appearing as a couple, but also complained that
Selena left right after filming the drama; even if he wanted to take
initiative, she wasn't even in Hong Kong!
Definitely pulls away from characterSelena
expressed that she and Ma Ming have never hung out privately; they only
see each other for work: "We are both very into and concentrated in our
work; no time to think about other things or have a new relationship.
Plus, he is always just being flirty and won't actually take any
action." Also as an actor, Selena appears to be more logical than
Kenneth. She feels that although some actors play very good characters
in the drama, but actually those characters very hard to find in real
life, so she makes sure that she pulls away from character every time!
Selena
admitted her pressure playing two character this time, because both
characters have a lot of potential to develop, and laughed that she felt
a little schizophrenic when filming, because she has to act with her
own double: "I have to imagine the other person is myself, and I also
have to teach the double how to act; it's my first time playing two
roles at the same time, it is a very good opportunity. The producer
believed I can do it, so I am very grateful."
Praised Kenneth's memory is very good As
for the action scenes in the drama, Selena praised that although
Kenneth doesn't have any dancing base, he can still remember all the
moves quickly. She also mentioned a fighting scene on a boat: "I was
scared I would fall into the water, and the boat kept swinging, in the
end, I fell and hit my head on the boat. I felt a little dizzy, but
thankfully my hair had a padding at that time! I was a bit scared at
that moment, the crew workers were also quite nervous." Ma Ming, who was
also at the scene that time, laughed that he couldn't save her; Ma Ming
continued saying his most memorable scene was filming in a forest in
Mainland China: "It was raining lightly at the time, I had to cry very
hard, the rain also went into my eyes; in the end, both my eyes were
infected and swollen. I had to go to the hospital to check them, a
double had to substitute me for a day!"
Kenneth Ma and Selena Li, who was a previous rumoured couple, plays a
married couple in TVB's new drama "Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain". In
the interview, Kennether revealed that he still hasn't pulled out from
his feelings for the cheery and cute "Tou Fa" in the drama. Selena
expressed that she refuses to live in a fairytale world too long.
In
"Ghost", it is Selena's first time taking the challenge of playing two
roles, one is the simple and kind "Tou Fa" and a famous courtesan, "Yan
Mei Leung". Selena expressed: "Because Tou Fa isn't from a upper class
family, you can even say she is very clueless, so she's always very
happy and lives in her old world. So her relationship with Ma Ming is
like they're an old couple. On the other hand, Yan Mei Leung is very
charming and graceful, but yet her inner self is very dark, so the two's
personalities are very extreme."
A moment of schizophreniaSelena
expressed that during filming, there was a time where she felt
schizophrenic, but she thanks the producer for giving her the chance to
play this difficult role. She said: "This time, Tou Fa really gave me a
refreshing feeling, even Ma Ming is mesmerized by this character."
Selena exposed that even after the filming of the drama, Kenneth still
could not forget Tou Fa. She laughed: "Ma Ming really likes this
character, there was once where I dressed up as Tou Fa again for a
promotional event, he was super excited!" Kenneth, who was beside her,
admitted: "I really haven't pulled away yet, because Tou Fa is a person
who doesn't go after a materialistic lifestyle, and very faithful to her
husband. Have to find this type when choosing a wife!"
Kenneth
and Selena previously had rumours, asked if Selena and Kenneth have a
chance at developing in real life? Kenneth made a sweet face saying: "I
always consider it!" But Selena "rejected" Kenneth, and emphasized that
other than work, then two haven't gone out in private. She also said
that Kenneth is always very flirty, Selena expressed that after filming
she quickly pulled away from character: "After I film a drama, I will
immediately let go, because the good men and good life in dramas are not
real, you will not have that in real life. If you fall into the
fairytale world, it is very hard to come back out."
