He said some really harsh words to the actress, telling her he would replace her if she still could not perform. Fortunately, she got better once she got the hang of the role and he's now sure he chose the right person.
The 64-year-old director of box office hits like I Not Stupid and Money No Enough, 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.”. I was really close to firing someone. It was Cynthia Kuang, who acted in Long Long Time Ago 2,” he said.
“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.
