Kenneth Ma and Jeannie Chan play a pair for the first time in the TVB series "Prism Breaker". Jeannie expressed that she was able to work with one of TVB's gods, and that he was very close to what she had imagined, highly praising him for being very patient and extremely attentive, and rarely losing his temper when waiting to be in position. Apart from Moses Chan, of the male artistes she has worked with, Kenneth is one of the top few names with the best temper. "Think that it's great because sometimes losing [your] temper would affect others and make [your] partner very nervous". She admitted that she also has a bit of a temper, revealing that, when [she] was filming a scene where [she] was getting raped, [she] accidentally got hit by [her] partner...remember being so angry that [she] struck back for real.
The two's characters in the series are mainly responsible for explaining the cases; thus, they have at least 30 pages of dialogue at work every day. Kenneth highly praised Jeannie for her calm performance...had a lot of dialogue, but [her] memory was great, and there were very few NGs. Jeannie explained that it was because Kenneth did not lose his temper that they were able to form the 'off work early group'.
Jeannie Chan Refuses to Lose Herself for Love
Kenneth expressed that the character in "Prism" is obsessed with work, neglects the person beside him who loves him, and is very slow toward love. In real life, [he] is not as slow as the character but also puts loyalty first. "In real life, when a good friend asks for help, would bend over backwards. There is also not much of a difference after marriage. [My] wife also knows my friends and also thinks that [I] should greatly cherish [them]. Would never get jealous of my friends, and even personally arranges for me to maintain this group of friends well". He said that the character played by Jeannie in the series has always stayed by [his] side, and everything she does is for the person she loves. If there were such a woman around in real life, believe that no man would not be moved, unless [he] is a 'hehe'. Plus, [she] is pretty and young, so is 100 points even more. "Believe that Jeannie would also be a high-scoring girlfriend in real life. A cheerful personality and knows how to make the boys around her happy...being her boyfriend would make you very happy". However, Jeannie said that, in real life, she would not lower herself at all costs for a boy. "Perhaps [I] have not met such a perfect guy. I am also not that kind of personality. Have my own opinions and ideas. Once the plan is set, would follow it".
Kenneth Ma's Unforgettable Rumour with Kate Tsui
Jeannie often has rumours with her partners. This time, she and married man Kenneth are playing a pair, becoming immune to rumours. Kenneth expressed that he did not notice whether the rumours stopped after marriage. "In fact, can also write about me having rumours for promotion; I also cannot stop it. [If] it really happens, then laugh about it. Also don't know how many rumours [I] have had after filming series for many years! When [I] was single, there would be rumours a lot of the time. Actually, [if] there are no romantic rumours, then there would be rumours of being at odds and merely appearing to be in good relations, or not having sparks and having no affection. This is how the entertainment industry works. If not, what would there be to write about?" Kenneth said that the most unforgettable thing was filming a series with Kate Tsui. There was a report saying that he drove a car to the company gate to pick up Kate after work, which led to a romantic rumour. "Actually, the car was the car in the series. In the series, I really had to drive a car to pick her up, but it was treated as my personal car".
Kenneth admitted that he was used to having rumours with his partners during filming, and treated it as a part of the promotion. [He] would not pay attention to it as long as it was not written too unpleasantly. However, as a husband now, it is best to not have rumours that would affect his wife. "Although my wife would know that it's fake, may be asked by friends, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law would also ask. Bothering my wife would also not be good. Thus, now it is best to avoid rumours as much as possible...don't have rumours anymore". Jeannie expressed that, playing a couple with married man Kenneth this time, [she] is finally not afraid of rumours. "Extremely like it. In the past, would also really have rumours for every series. A big girl now...no longer have rumours with [my] partners. Just rumours with Chow Ka Lok, whom [I] have been rumoured with for many years, over and over, and no one else".
Kenneth Ma Wants to Challenge Difficult Roles
The two do not have to worry about rumours, and they even had chemistry when working together. Jeannie revealed that Kenneth does not even blink when filming gun-firing scenes, which shocked her greatly. Kenneth laughed at himself for having poor eyesight and hearing. "May have been naturally blank at the time. Didn't know that I had this ability until [I] finished filming 'The Invisibles'". He has played countless roles in many years of filming series, and has even been in every law enforcement department, but [he] still has aspirations for roles to some extent, hoping to take on more difficult challenges. "Ordinary roles are actually the most difficult to play. For example, the role played by Edwin Siu in 'Narcotics Heroes' is a difficult role to play. I also told him that I really wanted to play his role. It's a great challenge. If [you] act it out well, and [you] make viewers think that you are good to watch, it means that your acting skills must be superb".
Kenneth admitted that he has aspirations for acting because there are no other specialties. Can neither sing nor release albums, nor be an emcee. Only likes to act. "It's not the pursuit of awards, but think that, if there's a role that is very difficult, really want to challenge it. I still have this ambition". Jeannie expressed that she wants to play more antagonistic roles...thinks that they are quite fun. Does not have to be a pretty girl, not having the burden of being a goddess.
