"I really buay tahan," was how Jack described his feelings during the filming of the movie Long Long Time Ago 2.
, shared: “When you are creating a character, you must first understand their emotions of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. When we hold auditions, we look at their emotions, and whether they meet our requirements.”Turns out, Jack isn't always a hundred per cent accurate with his judgement when it comes to casting.. I was really close to firing someone. It was Cynthia Kuang, who acted inCynthia played the younger version of Mei Xin’s character, Suting, in the 2016 local film.
“When she came for the audition, she could speak dialect, and she did everything pretty well, so she passed," said Jack."But during the actual filming, she couldn’t portray well no matter what she did. I had such a headache, and was thinking were doomed.” He said some “really harsh words” to Cynthia, telling her he would replace her if she still could not perform. According to Jack, it was the “first and only time” in his career he said anything of that sort to an actress.Thankfully, the other actors, including Mediacorp actress“I said, 'No, if she can’t do it, then that’s it'. After saying that, the other cast members really helped her, and when she returned, she was very different. She managed to “catch” the right feelings ,” he added.
Jack said Cynthia became “better and better” once she got the hang of the role and he's now sure he chose the right person.Ah Boys To Men“We had no choice, if we don’t use newcomers, we wouldn’t be able to shoot the film at all. The experienced actors have too many work commitments, they have TV dramas to shoot amongst other jobs, and there’s no way to gather everyone. If you have to keep matching the schedules of one or two people, it would be worse for the whole production,” he said.
