Chinese movie “Man on the Edge (边缘行者)” is shaping up to be a very exciting movie. As is appropriate for an action film, there are plenty of fight scenes and stunts waiting to bedazzle the audience. However, the courage and bravery of the characters doesn’t stop on screen. Some of it can be found in the actors too!
Veteran Taiwanese actor Richie Ren (任贤齐) recently released a behind-the-scenes video on his socials. In it, he only had praise for fellow Hong Kong actor Ron Ng (吳卓羲). Apparently the 42-year-old actor had impressed Richie when he persisted in filming despite sustaining an injury.
On 21st March, Richie posted a video to garner attention about the movie. “In our (film), every actor worked hard,” he captioned. “Even if you are injured, keep shooting!” The video showed Richie explaining that Ron had gotten hurt on set. His right hand was badly swollen, however the younger actor insisted on continuing.
“Dedicated actor,” Richie commended. “His hand is swollen but he is still fighting.” True enough, the video showed Ron taking on several men with his bum hand. However, the actor knew better than to push himself without any treatments. During breaks, they kept Ron’s hand iced, to help the swelling go down. However, Ron did not let his concentration waver. He could be seen going over the scene with a staff member while his hand was iced.
Netizens praised Ron as well, admiring his professionalism. Some added that while they appreciated the work, they also hoped the actors would take care of themselves. “You must pay attention to safety when filming,” they advised. However, it was clear everyone shared Richie’s spoken sentiments for Ron as many agreed with Richie’s solemn: “Salute Ron Ng.”
It certainly speaks a lot about Ron’s dedication to the movie! His actions have got many riled up to catch the film, which will be out sometime in April. Look forward to it!
