Raymond Wong talks challenges filming “Forensic Heroes IV”

5 Mar – Memorising a troublesome script crammed with medical jargon is already arduous sufficient for an actor. Think about having to do it once more after your co-star was changed by one other.

That is what Raymond Wong needed to cope with when filming “Forensic Heroes IV”, the place he performs the function of forensic laboratory supervisor and senior chemist Dr Ko On, after co-star Jacqueline Wong – who had probably the most scenes with him – needed to be eliminated and changed by Roxanne Tong because of a earlier relationship scandal.

In an interview with Mingpao, the actor said that re-shooting the drama was one of many hardest issues he needed to do.

“Jacqueline and I filmed this drama for half a 12 months and we have been capable of set up lots throughout that interval. However then all the things needed to be redone once more with Roxanne. How was I to do it? So I requested Roxanne to do our homework, do extra rehearsals collectively and attempt to construct rapport with one another in a restricted time-frame,” he mentioned.

Raymond added that the actress did very properly certainly within the 80 % of the scenes that she shot with him.

“I’d give her 100 factors. She took over the function in simply over a month, and that was a giant problem. Mui Siu Ching’s script is just not straightforward to digest and it took plenty of effort to do it, so everyone actually helped her,” he mentioned.

Along with the reshoot, Raymond admitted that he was already pressured to do properly for the reason that drama is the fourth in an already profitable franchise.

“It is arduous to do one thing recent for a franchise, to not point out that the viewers will certainly make comparisons,” he added.

Nonetheless, Raymond can now breathe a sigh of reduction, after it was revealed that the sequence broke the premiere scores report held by “Triumph within the Skies II” when the primary episode aired final month.
