Armed with stardom in Asia, Daniel Wu eyes return to US

6/29/2010 12:16:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Growing up in the United States, Daniel Wu dreamed of a cameo in a Jackie Chan movie. The 35-year-old actor has long since realized that dream, costarring with the action comedy veteran in several productions.

Having achieved success in Hong Kong, Wu now hopes he can break into Hollywood as a positive example for a new generation of Asians.

"I would like there to be some kind of Asian-American role model for the kids out there today," Wu told The Associated Press on Sunday as he promoted his new action thriller, "Triple Tap."

As a youngster in Orinda, California, Wu said there were few Asian faces on the big screen he could look up to. Instead, there was Long Duk Dong — the awkward foreign exchange student parodied in the 1984 high-school comedy "Sixteen Candles." So Wu found inspiration in a Chinatown video rental shop, devouring the movies of Chan, Bruce Lee and Jet Li, aspiring to "be in a Jackie Chan movie and be kicked down a flight of stairs."

His fascination with Hong Kong cinema led to a trip to the former British colony in 1997 to witness its handover to China. Out of funds, he tried modeling and was spotted by a Hong Kong director in a fashion ad.

Directed by Derek Yee, Triple Tap "枪王之王", stars Louis Koo Tin Lok and Daniel Wu Yiu Cho as shooting experts. Louis and Daniel endured the strenuous filming demands during a scene where they compete in shooting sports to win the title of “Champion Shooter.”

Focusing on the actual speed of firing the bullets and the accuracy of the shooting requirements, Louis had to concentrate intensely. He also needed to have a good understanding of his physical abilities. “Although possessing the correct technique and confidence were important, having the right intuition was also required. While trying to look cool in holding a gun and providing the best camera angles, it was inevitable that I got hurt. In one scene, I had to lay on the sand while firing repeatedly. My elbow got scraped by the sand. In the last shot, I sprained [my arm].”

Viavian laughed saying she never had such a good treatment while filming : "The sushi shop in the movie is owned by Daniel and the director, it's really delicious, because I'm a wealthy girl, everyday, I'd wear really pretty clothes and eat delicious sushis, then at night, I stay at a 5 star hotel. But because I didn't want to gain weight, as soon as the director said "cut!" I'd throw the sushi up, because I ate too much" Then the investor who was beside her said "No wonder this time's investment was so high !"

Even though she stayed in a good hotel and had good food, it wasn't without a price : Vivian and Daniel kiss scene was filmed a whole day until it was good, "Daniel and I kiss became mechanical, the two of us standing there, when we didn't need to kiss, we'd talk about his girlfriend, I'd ask him what they like to do... and when the director said to begin, we'd kiss again..."

Yee looks for next hit with 'Triple Tap'

11/25/2009 12:43:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Director Derek Yee plays with guns in “Triple Tap," a cops-and-robbers thriller with a twist co-invested by Hong Kong’s Emperor Motion Pictures and China’s PolyBona International, and co-produced by Hong Kong Sil-Metropol Organization.

The film stars Yee stable actors Daniel Wu and Louis Koo, who last headlined the Yee-produced summer hit “Overheard."

Set in the world of the International Practical Shooting Confederation, an obstacle-course firing competition that rewards speed, power and accuracy, “Triple Tap” is “a psychological mystery about two champions that blurs the line between heroes and villains,” said Yee, who is also one of the producers of the film.

Featuring action scenes of competitive shooting as well as robbery crossfire, filming took place amidst hills and plains near Hong Kong's northern border with the rest of China. Location scouting and preparation for the film proved challenging, as the producers found many of the rural parts of Hong Kong filled with swamps, said Henry Fong, “Triple Tap” producer and Yee’s longtime producing partner. “The gunfire would trigger explosions near swamps, so we had to spend more time to find locations. We also had to modify the guns to make them safe for filming,” said Fong.

The actioner’s 50 million yuan (US$7.3 million) budget “was mostly spent on staging elaborate gun battles and post-production,” said Albert Lee, CEO of EMP, which has a multi-picture deal with Yee. Although a Hong Kong-China co-production, the film was shot in Hong Kong and post-production will also be done in the territory.

Considerations were made to accommodate the Chinese audience and regulators, with “stylized portrayal of violence," said director Yee, whose previous outing, the Jackie Chan drama “The Shinjuku Incident” was denied release in China even after the script had been approved by the Chinese censors and granted co-production status. “I want to make the gun battles aesthetically pleasing; someone getting shot doesn’t necessarily have to gratuitously disgusting, we don’t have to show all the blood and gore,” said Yee.

“Triple Tap” is set for a May 2010 release in China and Hong Kong to capitalize on the Chinese Labour Day national holidays. Expectations are high for the film, said Yu Dong, chairman of the film’s co-investor and distributor Poly Bona, who predicts higher boxoffice grosses for the gun enthusiast thriller than “Overheard," the company’s previous collaboration with Yee which took 90 million yuan (US$13.2 million) in China last summer.

“‘Triple Tap’ is more action-heavy, which will be more attractive for Chinese audiences,” observed Yu. “Furthermore, the Chinese market continues to expand, the overall boxoffice take for 2010 is projected to increase by 30%, there’s no saying how much ‘Triple Tap’ will make in China,” said Yu, whose Poly Bona had a 15% market share in China in 2009 thus far, the releases of which took 900 million yuan (US$132 million) out of the total boxoffice grosses of 6 billion yuan (US$878.5 million) so far this year.
