This isn't Vincent Wong's first time portraying a rich boy, but in TVB anniversary series
Will Power, he indeed is a scum that stood out. In the series, Gilbert (Vincent) has a smart lawyer girlfriend Eugene (Fala Chen), but didn't cherish her and even had an affair with lengmo NaNa (Sire Ma). Episode 21, after his mother (Susan Tse) finds out about his affair and him doing drugs, she angrily smacked him 24 times! In tonight's episode 22, Gilbert even rapes NaNa.
Gets Miserably Slapped 24 Times Last year in
Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles, Vincent had a record of 13 slaps by Damian Lau, who played his father. The '13 slaps' became a big discussion topic among Netizens, but to our surprise, this year Vincent breaks that record in
Will Power. When his mother (Susan) finds out about his drug addiction, she angrily slaps him 24 times, each slap was loud and forceful.
Netizens saw Vincent's face turning red as he got slapped and felt bad for him! Some teased him, saying that he should be used to being slapped. Vincent knows his role Gilbert is just too naughty and deserves those slaps. Yesterday he posted a photo on Weibo of him touching his face: "Mother! Sorry! You have to deal with such a bad boy!" Susan Tse comforted him: "Good boy, did mom hurt you? Give you a kiss!" Vincent replied: "No pain, no pain! Bad boys deserved to get hit! There will be more to come!"
Vincent accepted an interview and recalled they had to film that scene 3 times. He said: "The first time, Susan went too easy on me, but if it was just one slap, I could give a reaction, 24 slaps its difficult for me to react. I told Susan not to feel bad because I had the experience before. Susan did use force, but she was careful too."
Early Stage of Depression Worried Wife Yoyo Chen Portraying a scum isn't easy to do, but portraying scum who is also a drug addict is even harder. Vincent expressed he asked a good friend to help him: "This time my role Gilbert was taking Cat (Methcathinone). The drug makes you feel excited for a short period of time. For the role, I asked a friend who had taken drugs before to find out what the effects were after taking the drug. The friend said drinking a strong alcoholic drink looks the closest to a person who just had drugs. I used this method each time. We were filming the series for 3 months and I had about 20 bottles of whiskey. So when you all watch the Sire Ma rape scene or see my red face in the court scenes, then you know why. I personally do drink, so I don't get drunk that easily."
Vincent continued: "That time during filming, I would get home at 3am, but still lock myself in a room to think about how I should do the scene." At first, Vincent thought this behavior was short-term, but after several months, the situation didn't get better, his wife Yoyo Chen started to worry. "I didn't drink anymore, but I couldn't sleep through the night. I felt so down and my wife took me to see the physicist. The doctor said I was in the early stages of depression, but I only went to see the doctor twice and I was all better!"
Rape Scene Felt Too Real, Sire Ma Scared of Vincent Depression can get serious, Vincent still had a young wife and daughter, but he didn't regret being too extreme on his acting: "The next day after the rape scene, Sire Ma suddenly stopped talking to me. I asked her why? She said when she got home, she couldn't get the scene off her mind, it felt like I really did rape her, so she was really afraid of me. Honestly, if the outcome is good, I really don't regret what I did to prepare for the scene. Although some people may think my acting style is too extreme, but I think its the most fitting for me. I will continue using this method in the future."
