For the first time play the main character, Wong Cho Lam said that he did feel stressful, but not for the box office. "I am afraid that I cannot perform it well. Because this role is written for me." Wong said.
To give a introduction about his role, Wong said that this man is a very pompous, rich and lewd man. "He think he is a superman, you may think that this role has a distance with the normal people. However, I think that people will be see some false impression about themselves. So he try to involve in others life, see how can find himself in others people's view. "
The role is so disagreeable, Wong did feel some struggle about playing this role. But he wil try to reject some dialogue which are too disturbed him. "I will ask not to say those dialogue. Because the main rule is to express how despicable the character is, if I can do this, there is not need to say that dialogue."
And Wong said he use a ve
ry exaggerated way to express his role this time. "There is a lot of types of comedy. I will see how the role is, and choose different way to express. If I know that dialogue of the role is humorous enough, I will not be that bustling. But if I know the role is required a very exaggerated way to make you laugh, I will do that way. I want the audience to know that exaggerated is not the only way for comedian. Like Steven Chow, he is not always in exaggerating, but he is still funny. Exaggerating is a tool that I've got, but not the only."Differenet with the supporting role, to be a main character, you must make the audience laugh in the whole movie. To achieve this goal, Wong said that he try to use different way to express the feeling. "There is a not of way to make a comedy. One is character, two is the scene, three is the dialogue, four is the action. In the "Shoet of Love", I use different way with different character. For example, I have a scene about table dance with Race, we can play a lot in action. And I have a very serious love story with Kate, this is scene."
Finally he emphasize that a comedian must need good acting skills. "For comedy, everybody watch that movie because of the character. A completed character must have a good acting skills, so they can repersent the grow of the character. There is a rule of the comedian, like a sissy to be a very strong man, a spineless mand to be a confident man, etc. You can fumble these if you do not have a good skills. You cannot produce a profound comedian without any comedy foundation."
Wong Cho Lam did try to be stupid in playing some roles, but indeep, he know that what he want and what he should do clearly. It is happy that Hong Kong have more and more comdian who have talent. When we are facing a lot of pressure outside, we all need some actors like Wong Cho Lam.
