Among them, "My Extraordinary Parents" was first released, and Kara Wai played a blind mother in the film. In order to play the role well, she "experienced" it from the inside out.
After the film was released, many viewers praised Kara Wai’s good acting skills. The affirmation of the best actress in the three Hong Kong film awards has already proved Kara Wai’s strength. She has never slackened her efforts in every performance and always strives for perfection.In Kara Wai’s words, every role should be 100% dedicated, and every shot should be 100% good.
01.Play the blind, and make great efforts for both spirit and form.
My Extraordinary Parents, adapted from the director’s true story, tells the family story of a pair of blind parents raising their daughter with normal vision.
Kara Wai, who plays the blind mother, has made great efforts in shaping her appearance and manner.She keeps training to control her eyes, imitating the state that the eyes of the blind keep turning and their eyes are distracted. "I have practiced it, and I can go out and enter. Every time I shoot, I adjust my eyes to certain positions and spend a lot of hard work."
In addition to shaping the appearance, Kara Wai also asked an ophthalmologist to take a pair of copper contact lenses, put them on and carefully ponder the mentality of the blind. "It’s really the same as a blind person. When all the light is completely blocked, you lose your way, and then you can really play a blind person. What is her heart and what kind of dark fear she faces?"
Kara Wai said that every time she knows a role in advance, she will do all her homework well, and when she starts work, she will soon be able to enter the role.
In the movie, the emotional entanglement between mother and daughter also made Kara Wai feel the same way. Kara Wai has replaced many experiences and understanding of the relationship between her and her mother in the past. "When my daughter is rebellious, she can’t get along with her point of view, but they can’t be separated from each other and need each other, but this need sometimes hurts each other. This is the way I used when I played with Qianyu."
"I have to be 100% good in every shot until now." Kara Wai said that the principle of her acting is that if she gets paid, she must do it well, and at the same time, she must respect the actor’s profession. "Every shot should stay forever. If I don’t shoot a shot well, I will miss it for a long time."
02."I’m so strong, I’m afraid Jiang Lang will run out of talent."
Kara Wai, who was born as an action actor, got up from the bottom and struggled all the way to this day in fighting with blood and injuries again and again, and achieved many achievements.
Kara Wai had a hard childhood. At the age of three or four, he peddled with his family in the streets of Wan Chai. As a teenager, he worked as a dancer in a nightclub. Later, he was dug up by the director and made the film Legend of the Condor Heroes as Mu Nianci. Since then, he has entered the film industry and changed his life.
Kara Wai has the personality of a wild child since she was a child, and she has the experience of dancing on the stage, so she was not timid when she made a movie for the first time.
The first scene of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was a contest to get married, and Kara Wai was taught to play opera directly on the spot. The confidence and elan of the newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers made the hero alexander fu mistakenly think that she had been filming for several years.
The movie dream was planted when Kara Wai was young. Like many children at that time, she often sneaked into the cinema to watch movies. The first movie she saw was yes, and her awe of movies and performances was born from then on.
Mu Nianci became famous in World War I, and Kara Wai successfully entered Shaw Pictures as a martial arts actor and studied under the direction. At the age of 22, she won the Best Actress Award in the first Hong Kong Film Awards. In her view, the first Golden Awards trophy was won entirely by fighting and relying on life and health.
"You ask me how many injuries, I don’t know. You ask me where I am not injured, and I can tell you that I am not. " When Shaw made a martial arts film, Kara Wai was viciously punched in the stomach by an opposite actor for more than 40 times. At that time, she had only one thought: "If you didn’t kill me, I would have a chance in the future. I want to cover you up in this scene today. "
Therefore, when Kara Wai won the prize for the first time, all she thought about was bitterness. "I play every day and get hurt every day. Even if I have surgery, the thread has not been removed a few days later, and I still have to shoot with my stomach covered." Even if she became more and more popular later, she would feel a little unbalanced when she saw other actors shooting fashion shows, beautiful and comfortable.
But Kara Wai is an indomitable person by nature. "When you are chosen for the role of martial arts and you need it again, you can only do it best. I must stand in the first place to survive. "
Kara Wai’s perseverance, also have been crushed. At the end of 1990s, with the decline of martial arts films and the change of movie environment from generation to generation, Kara Wai’s career fell into a trough, and she suffered from depression. In the worst case, she even swallowed sleeping pills and gave up herself. Fortunately, with the help of relatives and friends, she rallied.
In 2010, 50-year-old Kara Wai won the Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for the second time for "Devil". I have experienced all kinds of twists and turns from being a popular female star to being neglected and making a comeback. The arrival of this award is of great significance to her and has the deepest feelings.
Kara Wai recalled, "I hold this award, and I said that nothing can be changed, because it was because I suffered a lot of grievances, paid a lot of efforts, and had a chance given to me by many friends and God, so this award is more important than anything."
Later, Kara Wai won the Golden Award for Best Actress for the third time. She plays an elderly person who lives alone with Alzheimer’s disease. Kara Wai’s mother died because of this disease. She wants to use this film to commemorate her mother and make more people pay attention to Alzheimer’s disease.
Kara Wai cares about the disadvantaged groups, and this time he took on My Extraordinary Parents, hoping to use this positive film to appeal to the public to respect and care for the visually impaired.
Kara Wai doesn’t act in action movies now, and she will also worry about her bad state and poor performance when acting in literary plays. "The more I am so strong, the less I can perform, the less I let others know, the more I force myself, and I really can’t perform. The director is sorry to give me two minutes, and I will walk away again. The whole mood will be adjusted. It is psychological pressure to throw away all the feeling of smoking and come back."
Nowadays, Kara Wai likes to cooperate with new directors, trying her best to support young talents, and even working with them at a reduced salary. This is the case with My Extraordinary Parents, and the sincerity of the director made her determined to take over.
Every time acting, Kara Wai wants to find a new way to perform. "How can I act when I have met several bottlenecks?"? I can’t find it. I can only play it in the old way, so I can’t open it. The new directors have new ideas, and they can bring me many new things and new ways of interpretation. "
"I am afraid that people will see that I am exhausted in Jiang Lang." Kara Wai didn’t stop, she was still fighting and rushing.
