The former played a pastor whose daughter committed suicide after being raped; a few years later when the young prisoner was released after serving his sentence, the pastor struggled with whether he should forgive him. In reality, Chau Sun admitted that he was still stubborn in many ways, and has not yet able to forgive others. In recent years, some people felt that he was more peaceful all because he felt powerless, and learning from his mother's saying "save your breath" to keep from smartening people up. Now he has learned to swallow his anger, thinking that if he understood this truth 30 years ago, his acting career would not have so many obstacles! Looking back, Chau Sun felt that he has committed many sins that could not be remedied with work, relatives and friends; which made him feel very remorseful. Playing the convicted rapist, George said that he put aside his idol baggage and referred to the movies and real cases about juvenile offenders in advance. He found playing opposite Cha Sun unforgettable and thanked his elders for teaching him to express the pain at that time with expressions, which benefited a lot.The 63-year-old Wong Chau Sun played the role of a pastor in the film. He searched the Internet for the preacher's actions and ways of speaking, and chatted with the real pastor on the set during the filming for research. Chau Sun said that no one should think that this film only explored sin and forgiveness from a religious perspective; it also covered the conflict of moral values. Chau Sun praised his co-star George for his hard work and willingness to learn. He was very serious during the shoot, so he did not give any special guidance. Chau Sun found the scene where the two of them went up the mountain memorable. He revealed that he has been yearning to return to nature, but unfortunately his body was failing him. "I like to hike. Coming into contact with grass, dirt, stones, wind and air, I would experience a lot. It is important to know that there are many skills in going up and down the mountain, including the coordination of the eyes and feet. Unfortunately after walking the mountain, my knees hurt. I found that I am old, so I have rarely hiked in recent years. Walking for awhile this time, it feels like seeing an old friend again."The movie was about sins. Wong Chau Sun looked back on his life path in the past, and admitted that whether with work, relatives, and friends, he also bore a lot of sins that could not be remedied. Now he felt great regret and guilt. Because there was too much privacy involved, he was unwilling to make it public. He could only forgive himself, but he might not be able to forgive others. He still could not let go of many things. "I know that it will be a very rough on me, and I don't want to bear the hatred either. However 'forgiveness' is easier said than done. Many people can let go or forget, I can't do it. Perhaps some people feel in recent years I seem to be gentler, but only because I no longer have the strength. On the other hand, as my Ma used to say, 'I am saving my breath, I don't want to smarten you up'. When I look back on the past, only then do I realize that I was stupid. Why didn't I understand this truth 30 years ago?"Wong Chau Sun said that in the past, even when taking taxis he had disputes with drivers from time to time. He could not help but lose his temper over very small things, especially in the face of stupid people; he could not hold his tongue and wanted to speak out, but now he has learned to swallow his anger. He did not rule out his personality affecting his entertainment industry career, "My personality does cause a little obstacle to my show business career development. It may be different if I develop in the United States. The character of Hollywood star Marlon Brando is also like this. He has not made a film for a long time, and when he did they were garbage movies. Some people think that I 'have a lot of character', but now even if I regret it I can't go back to the past. So I can only bring regret and pity with me into the coffin."For the new generation, Wong Chau Sun said that if they are making a movie, it does not matter if they do not know how to act. The most important thing is that the role is suitable, the script is good and they follow the director's guidance. As a drama instructor, he said, "Over the years there have been many examples in the film industry, where actors don't know how to act but everyone thinks they act well when the film is done. Acting on the stage is different, you must have techniques and basic skills. Many people say that they are from the Academy of Performing Arts and the Academy of Drama, but they actually do not know it either. Like the terms 'Pause' and 'Silence' that are commonly used in theater, if you don't understand them clearly it's a waste of time to explain them." He is opposed to teaching acting by personal demonstration, because actors will become imitations; inspiring actors to act is the best way.26-year-old George debuted as a group singer after participating in the talent show, filmed several ViuTV dramas and participated in variety shows. VALLEY IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH was his first film, and he was fortunate to work with actor Wong Chau Sun and take the opportunity to pick up some tricks. George remembered the first day of work When he had stage fright, elder Wong Chau Sun with simple eye contact was already very dramatic. Later they had an argument scene on the stairs. In another scene of going up the mountain, he remembered that the weather was cold during the shoot, and he was grateful to his elders for teaching him to use expressions to express the pain at that time, which benefited him a lot.George said that before the start of filming, he referred to films about juvenile offenders, such as BETTER DAYS and BURNING. He also searched the Internet for real-life case documentaries, hoping to understand the motives and reasons behind the juvenile offenders. In order to play the role of a prisoner more expressively, he deliberately went on a diet and exercised to lose weight. He even put aside the idol baggage. "When people get thinner they look more haggard. There is no reason for criminals to be in prison and still be clean cut and pretty, so I asked for zero makeup for the whole movie in order to convince the audience. The biggest psychological hurdle is, of course, filming that rape scene. I was exposed to this kind of scene for the first time. I was a little nervous at first, but it was successfully completed quickly." P1X3L group mates Phoebus Ng Kai Yeung and Marco Ip Chun Wang once visited the set to cheer for George, but he did not meet them in order to concentrate on his role. He hoped that they would understand.Anthony Wong Chau Sun plays the pastor in the new film VALLEY IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH (BUT SEH JI JUI) and works with George Au Chun Ho, who plays the young prisoner, for the first time. The two characters have a fierce conflict between hatred and forgiveness. Au Chun Ho at first was afraid because of Chau Sun's aura. Chau Sun however thought that working with a new comer was like going from the old world to a new world, making him more energetic.Au Chun Ho spent a lot of time preparing for the role. He said that his body was more bloated before the production began, but because the role has just finished his prison sentence, he thought that his body should be thin to match the role. He also watched a documentary about young criminals on the Internet to understand the motives behind the crime. Through physical and psychological preparation, he had an easier time with devoting himself to the role. He also admitted that when he first met his elder Wong Chau Sun, the aura frightened him. Later he slowly relaxed after more communication.Chau Sun admits that he has been watching less films and not paying much attention to newcomers recently, but he praised Au Chun Ho was focused on learning and was handsome. He was very happy to be able to work with newcomers, which felt like entering the new world from the old world and made him energetic. Although Chau Sun has already played the role of a pastor, he still found some pastor friends to learn their demeanor beforehand. He also said that this role was difficult to play, a very difficult test of acting skills. He pointed out that with acting it was actually difficult to completely become another person. The role more or less had his own ideas. When trying to understand the role of "Pastor Leung", he found it difficult to understand and agree as the role was in great conflict with his own values. When this happened, he needed to fantasize to interpreted the role. He could not perform in the form of ordinary drama, so it was very difficult.Speaking of Chau Sun having more work this year, he joked that this year he might actually in luck. Later he will participate in foreign-invested movies. Has he ever thought about investing in movies like Louis Koo Tin Lok? Chau Sun joked, "How can I be a big shot like him, he is a movie tycoon. (Be a director like Nick Cheung Ka Fai?) He has genius and talent, how can I be the same?"
