過去簡單式

Um. how I became involved with Dog Bite Dog...

Because. um. at that moment in time I hadn't filmed a Hong Kong movie...

...since Initial D. which was about a year and a half. two years.

Um. I just came off filming my first “Japanese“ movie.

Um. and I didn't really wanna do any bubble-gum. cotton-candy movie...

...which is what 90 percent of the movies in Hong Kong. to me. are.

Uh. Soi. which is the director. Is kind of known...

...for being kind of edgy. kind of crazy for Hong Kong.

If you put him in a different market he's not too crazy.

But. uh. my experience with this guy is that I filmed a movie with him before...

And he was playing a cop and he beat the crap out of me.

So when I saw him for the first time I was like. “This guy...“

You know? And when he gave me the script. actually. he was like:

“Okay, I want you to play the cop, and the cop is like this. like this. like this.“

And I was. “Okay. let me read the script and I'll get back to you.“

“If you don't let me be the killer I'm not gonna film this movie.“

And why I did that was because it's totally crazy and totally different...

And everyone says that I can only do a certain type of role...

...then here is something that you've never seen me do before.

And it's totally outside of the picture of what people think Edison Chen is.

So I decided to take it on as a huge challenge...

...and as kind of a gamble to gauge where moviegoers...

...locally on Hong Kong cinema are. and in a more international spectrum...

...what people are thinking about Hong Kong cinema.

When I first read the script. I had picked it up and I was like:

“Okay. cop. cop." you know. “A troubled cop. okay.“

I've done this in a certain way in other movies.

Boring. for me. The script wasn't boring. but the role for me was boring.

Whereas this other character is running around hungry. dirty...

...bleeding. killing. not speaking. “mass murderer“ type of ordeal.

And it really kind of just got something in me.

I was like. “This is interesting. This is gonna be fun.“

You know? Like. “I can beat the crap out of people...

...and be wild and crazy and not get in trouble for it.“

For someone in my position to do a film like this is a breakthrough.

I think that people here are so image-conscious...

...that a lot of these type of films don't get to get made.

And. um. I wanted this movie to get made. and for people to really see it...

...and people to really feel it and enjoy it.

It was about time for me to take. like. a left turn...

...instead of making rights all the time.

I actually saw this movie as being a disaster in Hong Kong...

...but a hit everywhere else. especially in Japan...

...when I first started filming the movie.

So like I said. I had just come off my first Japanese movie...

...and I was thinking I wanted to do something...

So. I mean. all of these are reasons why I did the movie.

And lastly. it's because it would have been a huge challenge for me.

I mean. I'm totally not that character. Nothing near it.

I mean. I'm a bit crazy. yes. but in that way. no. you know.

And it would really be a gauger for me to see where I am at in my acting.

And I think it gave me a pretty good look.

To prepare for Dog Bite Dog, one of the things that I did...

...in the initial steps was study myself in the mirror.

Why I did this is because I cannot look anything like myself...

So I had to take some certain strong expressions or things that I do--

Like. say. if I'm always touching my nose...

...like I usually do in my regular life. I cannot do that...

...because that kind of makes me seem like I'm more calm...

...and I'm just. like. more easygoing. you know?

I just have to be straight and. you know. like. solid and...

...and there's certain things I accentuated about myself.

And that was the first thing that I did to prepare for this character...

It's easy to say. “I hate you.“ And then...

Getting that off. instead of just looking at someone and telling them:

“I hate you." You know. like. with just a look and the way I stood.

And I really had to study the way I move and the way I am...

...in order to make that a success-- To make Edison successful in this role.

I watched a lot of movies where there were characters like this.

Where I would start studying what I thought was original...

...and what I thought came across as real, where I--

And then looked at stuff where I looked and I said:

That's too much to a point where that's acting. Do you understand what“?

There's no way that would ever happen. or something like that.

Or that's too little. It's too light. you know?

Like. I had to find the happy medium for me.

And. um. in order to stay inside this role. basically I--

...what had happened was we had went to Thailand to film most of it.

And a lot of it that was shot in Hong Kong. I spent a lot of time alone.

I spent a lot of time alone. away from people...
